Sweetness level was just right but it was a bit dry as a whole. Prices were decent for an airport with drinks in the $6-7 range. Ordering can be done at the counter or at a kiosk at the entrance of the food hall. Seating is at the food hall which had lots of options with charging stations.

I wish I hadn't fallen for this tourist trap. I can't speak to the other locations, but this one…read morewas extremely subpar. It's located inside the Time Out Market and there was plenty of seating available even on a busy weekend. The prices were steep for a very basic bagel, and the wait was much longer than expected. Overall, I didn't think the food justified either the cost or the wait. I wouldn't rush back.

I really like the Ess-a-bagel in midtown and was a little disappointed by the quality of this one…read morein comparison. The menu is smaller which is understandable but unfortunately I thought the quality of the bagels were not as good as the midtown location either. The Time Out Market is very nice to look at view of the city and Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges though so i recommend checking out the market. Just don't expect the same quality of bagel as at the midtown location.

Came to tribeca for a bagel early on a Sunday out of convenience. Nala's was already serving some…read morecustomers when I entered at 9 am. There are several tables in the establishment along with a restroom. Bagel options weren't super extensive but there was definitely a selection to choose from. You can also make your bagels into sandwiches with different egg, cheese, meat combos. I got the sesame bagel with the sundried tomato and basil cream cheese. You get a plate if you're dining in. Bagel was soft and the exterior had a slight crunch to it. This wasn't the chewiest soft bagel that I've ever had, but neither was it so terrible that I didn't want to eat it. It was a good place to stop by if you're looking for a bagel in tribeca on a Sunday morning. Staff was friendly.

It's very colorful. It's also very clean and tidy. My order didn't take long. And my cashier was the one handing out the orders and he had a smile on his face. I got us whole wheat everything bagel with a fried egg, chipotle Gouda, and turkey sausage with chipotle mayo with a hash brown on the side. And when I opened the bagel open I could see the cheese from both ends of the bagel melting apart, I was in heaven. It tasted so good. And the best part was that my bagel didn't fall apart (like some places). Everything was so delicious. I was left very happy and very pleased with this place. I will be back.

I ordered a bagel today and what I got was inedible. If I…read morecould have gone back I would have but I couldn't so I just wasted $9. I ordered a toasted gluten free bagel with cream cheese and what I got was cold and pale. I took a bite and it was disgusting. Many gluten free bread products need to be toasted to be edible which is why I always get them toasted. My receipt said toasted. The bagel was pale and cold. And falling apart. A different bagel store refused to sell their gluten free bagels untoasted. At least they didn't give me food that I couldn't eat. I will not be going back to NYCB&CH anytime soon because that experience left a bad taste in my mouth...literally. But if I do I will make sure to check my bagel before I go.

The cost of the bagel included a complimentary drink! I often leave a tip without a second thought, mostly because it's just customary. Today, I left a tip out of gratitude for their warm hospitality towards an awkward tourist. The bagel was terrific, but their kindness made my day!

Well coated on top & bottom with the seasoning of choice (tried the onion and the everything). Lightly crispy/crunchy on the outside, with a shell that cracks even before toasting. Fluffy/chewy on the inside. Once toasted, that wonderful almost blackened char around the edges was perfect. The kicker was the thick slab of cream cheese, which clearly just came out of the fridge and was super-cold, providing that sensational contrast between hot & cold, which I just love. 9 days in Brooklyn where we wined dined sipped and sucked at as many different places as we could. This was the ONLY place we went to more than once...

My only critique is that the onions were cut way too thick, at least for my preference.

There are sandwiches, bagels, pastries, cookies, drinks, bread and more to choose from.
