Wow this business manager is something else and such a professional profile picture at that! I didnt know I needed to validate that the treatment was poor with a total run down of my purchases. We purchsed a pastry, 2 bottle of waters and we were prepared to pay for the ice. I'm not sure what the total was but clearly didnt spend enough money to be treated decently. read more

Great place to stop by for some breakfast and coffee in the Rockaways. The bagels are big and when I ask for toasted it's warm throughout, while being chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. They give a generous amount of cream cheese, too. The coffee is self-service which is nice for deciding how much milk, sugar, and ice I want. There's a good selection of different iced coffee flavors available. read more

Food is great. Delivery was fast and thoughtful! Highly recommend breakfast, lunch and dinner.

I have been to all the Bagel Barista locations. This one is probably my favorite. Everything is well stocked and organized. Having a separate area to order food and pay is genius. There is a large sitting area. I love the self service coffee/tea area (Coffee cake is the BEST flavor). The registers are never packed with people waiting to pay. Food is top notch too, everything taste fresh and delicious. I've tasted their bagels, cold cut sandwiches, salads and muffins; never been disappointed. read more

Serious bagel and coffee operation. There's even a door attendant. There an island packed with dozens of hot and iced coffees and teas. Lots of signage to help you navigate the ordering and pick up stations. They put a lot of thought into making the customer experience as efficient as possible. I had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. Even in the later afternoon, the bagel was still great. Doughy with very slight crisp on the outside. read more

Great food for a catered in home brunch. Everything was fresh and delicious, especially the hash browns and chicken francese. The workers were all professional and polite. I will be back for more! read more

Amazing hot bagels! So fresh ! Love the frozen drinks ! I picked up breakfast and lunch and headed to beach down block . Staff is amazing and pleasant ! Very clean ! Stopped back in way back from beach and got dinner . Great one stop shop . read more

Store looks lovely, like u couldn't go wrong. How could you mess up a toasted bialy? Ordered toasted bialy, light butter & cheddar. Specifically said " can you make sure it's really toasted". 10 mins later I get it, when I opened it to eat the first thing I realized, there was no warmth to it. I proceeded to open and see a cold bialy with butter smeared and 2-3 slices of cheese couldn't melt if it tried. Sooo perturbed!!! It tried to eat it, but no can do. All I could do was eat the cheese. I called the store to make A complaint and the young lady on the other end seemed surprised. She softly apologized and put me on hold. Thought maybe getting the manager, Nope she came and said, "it didn't say melted cheese". Really is that what we're doing? Actually had it been toasted , thermal conduction would have done the rest, which I explained. Oh well I don't need to go back there!! read more

Bagel and barista is a great place to get sandwiches and fresh bagels right off the subway on your way to the beach. Their coffee selection is awesome and the store looks clean and well lit. This review is not about their food, but a comment about their service. I have been going to this store since they opened and I support them as a local business. The problem is that their customer service is inconsistent depending on who you get at the front counter. The cashier with red hair is especially cold. We are from Manhattan so we are used to blunt service, but for being located in a small beach community, I can't believe she never got trained. Maybe she doesn't care, maybe she is the owner, but if you remove her, then I'm sure your reviews would be more positive. I believe it is uniquely her that is dragging down your otherwise 4-5 star ratings. Also, it cannot be fun for others to work with someone like that. read more

3.5 stars. They staff were lovely and they have a lot of different options. The order was incorrect, but it was close to the beach so would go again! They also had decaf coffee options, which was great. The place itself is large and bright. read more

I'm from Houston and our bagels don't taste like this. These bagels are fresh, soft on the inside and crispy in the out. The cream cheese added delicious touch, but these bagels are so tasty the cream cheese is not needed. The chocolate chip muffin is AMAZING! The chocolate chips are slightly melted and not too sweet. I have no complaints. These are the best bagels I've ever eaten. read more

I love the staff and the Bagels! They are always so fresh and tasty. I'm a regular here because they always make my breakfast sandwich just the way I want it. read more

I am a lifelong New Yorker so I am picky about bagels. Not every place that calls themself a bagel place knows what they are doing just because they are in New York. This place does. Very tasty everything bagel and lox spread. Enjoyable! Chewy inside, crusty outside, just the way I like them. Grab a bite here and a drink for the beach. Nice decor and they have a bathroom, always a plus in my book. read more

I have never in my LIFE written a review. EVER! I've worked food and bev for 12 years so my respect for industry employees are at an all time high when I enter a building however my experience just now was so disappointing: Firstly The woman i ordered with was so welcoming and so kind. She really set the tone and I could tell she got along with everyone-true kindness. However when i went to pay and wait for my (awful burger and fries) the short young girl in the hat at the front counter was SO rude and honestly quite gross for eating a sandwich while interacting with our food and taking payments. Absolute unprofessionalism and unsanitary. EW! I walked up to the counter and all she says was my total and barely acknowledged that a customer was standing in front of her. I asked her "how are ya today?" (Me, with a smile) She responded, with the most monotone snarky voice, "TIRED" , a straight face and turned around to eat her food and continue to fraternize with her colleagues. The quality of the burger is literally laughable for 17$. It's not hard to have fun and maintain a well functioning establishment. The team should tighten up. I would never, and HAVE never treated a customer that way or the product. It was baffling. I feel like such a dork writing a review but honestly that's how sh***y of an experience it was :( If I could vote zero stars I would! Save your money!!! read more

It feels like a 7-11 if it was a little hood themed. They have some great options for coffee and the prices are decent. read more

Really good bagels....probably best ones on this side (Rockaway) of the Marine Park / CrossBay bridges. Nice foods & sandwiches available on 116st. In this culinary challenged area. Has a lil bit of everything with nice coffees to boot. read more

Came in on a brisk afternoon and was delighted with the space and design. The place is big, open, bright and there's even indoor seating. I like the whole ordering system. There's a separate counter for placing your sandwich orders at the far back. The cashier gives you a ticket and if you want to pick up any drinks or extras you can. You show your receipt for what you ordered and pay for everything at the main cashier counters in the front. I also love how there is seating and a restroom. 4 stars only because some of the fruit we got was a bit moldy. Would be great if the fruit cups and such were checked daily! All in all; great bagels super fresh and tasty. Good service. Will be back again! read more

Went here the first time today, I was getting on the train after taking a bus ride here for something, bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel was off the hook, I would come back here again out of my way just for another one read more

Sleep deprived from a long flight this morning. couldn't make an order or read the signs if I tried. Nice lady got me a dozen bagels, a tub of cream cheese and drinks for my kids and had me on my way. Thanks for taking care of me! read more

Very fresh bagels of all varieties, terrific pick up and go sandwiches, snacks, milk, juice etc. Homemade pita chips & guacamole. I recommend ordering ahead and picking up at the window. Very very convenient and super efficient. The place even has a bathroom for customers. A great addition to 116 Street read more

Tasty food (though pricing is a bit ehhh), a lot of options when it comes to coffee/lattes etc., but the service leaves a lot to be desired. The young lady taking breakfast sandwich orders is simply not customer friendly (and this was after at least 3 separate encounters with her), so that alone makes me not want to return. This place definitely gives off a "locals" only vibe, which shouldn't be the case when everyone pays with the same money. read more

You're all a Godsend for being open at 6am, for those of us who are waiting for the Q53 to get to work. Having this spot is a super quick RESPITE from waiting / standing outside. I can get a quarter pound of Tortellini Salad & sit in peace until my bus comes. This place is like a living prayer. If only they knew how much of my youth I spent across the street in the former Dunkin Donuts. This place is a dream come true for 116th Street. The sugar dispenser machine makes me so happy when I make my tea. Every time, I think how I hope the person who invented that machine is now wealthy. It's the little things at this spot!!! Thanks to all the workers for a nice experience every time. read more

PLEASE come here before you go to the beach!! The bagels are amazing, the BEC with an everything bagel is FIRE the cinnamon toast bagel with cannoli cream cheese is FIRE. The salads are also sooo good and everything is decently priced. We've come here 5 times and have never been disappointed. read more

Positive- spacious, well lit with tables. Appears clean. Sufficient employees. Negative- chewy, bland, pale bagels. Wasted paper bag given to eat in. $1.00 for a paper or plastic cup to use for plain water. Hey, dave the waste of paper bags and don't charge for the uncommon request for a cup. Next time I'll go to the small mom and pop place near hotel. read more

Im going to start by saying I love the Buffalo wings perfect sauce taste, perfect size but for 6 small wings $10 is too much 8 wings for that price would be more understandable because an order of 6 Buffalo wings and fries is about $16 + and I just think that is wayyyyyyyy over charging in my opinion. read more

Excellent food and customer service. This is my go to bagel spot in the neighborhood and it never disappoints!

Stopped in for breakfast, plenty of menu options available, so many hot and cold coffee alternatives, food came out quick and as ordered, staff was accommodative, indoor seats, great spot! read more
