    Everything Bagel with Spread
    Ashley J.

    They have a good selection of bagels, schmears, sandwiches and more. Today I got an everything bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese which I definitely recommend

    Plain bagel BLT with Jalapeno Cream Chesse, and egg.

    The food tasted great, it was fresh and delicious! Had the French vanilla coffee to go with it and *chef's kiss* The three gentlemen were super patient, friendly and attentive. We had a table that accommodated us well while music was playing and also the tv on.

    Service is fast and friendly! The hometown touch and tasty coffee give those who have a moment to sit and enjoy their breakfast comfort and ease. They also have a good selection of cold drinks.

    Fresh bagel assortment! Amazing sunflower seeds bagels!

    Wow! Visiting NYC for my son's upcoming surgery and the hotel we're staying at recommended. NYC is know for their bagels and I see why! This place is as authentic as they come. Fresh, made to order and tasty! We tried the plain bagel LS with bacon, egg and cheese. Total we got 4 bagels, 4 hashbrowns and 2 large coffees for $34! I don't think you could get that at McDonald's. Definitely much better and clean good food! I highly recommend! Next time I'm going to try the cream cheese.

    Not enough cream cheese. 06/02/22

    Bagel Express 347 Lexington Avenue in Murray Hill was recommended to me by my barista. She lives nearby. I have had Bagel Express Bagels and Cream Cheese at another location called Bagel Express II. Their menu is reasonably priced and they meet my bagel standards. I'm not an expert. I was meeting my dear Yelp friend Jasmine from Vancouver. She's staying at a hotel nearby on vacation. I arrived early and was hungry. I was happy I was hungry because I don't have much of an appetite lately. I went ahead and ordered a Pumpernickel Bagel and Garlic Herb Cream Cheese. I found a table and pulled up chairs for Jasmine and her husband. I didn't wait and ate my bagel before they got there. This Bagel Express isn't as nice as the other location. It's long and narrow so I found seating to be uncomfortable. I also think they could put more cream cheese on the bagel. It's $5.39 so the price is good. I definitely love the taste of their pumpernickel bagel and their garlic herb cream cheese. I just hate when I have to spread out my cream cheese myself because otherwise it doesn't cover the bagel. You can see my four pieces in my photo AFTER I spread the cream cheese myself! I think I'll stick to the other location. I'm not sure if Jasmine and her husband Chris enjoyed their breakfast. I'll be waiting for her review. Being with them was the best part of the breakfast. They bought my coffee which was very good coffee.

    New Mike's on an everything bagel
    Evelyn Z.

    I love the combination of mike's hot honey with scallion cream cheese. It's the perfect sweetness with the savory flavor of the bacon, egg, and cheese. The chefs and clerk were both fast and efficient with their service. However, I find the bagel on the more expensive end. I liked how there was a wide variety of options to choose from on the menu. They have seating indoors and outdoors for their customers.

    On our way to Grand Central Station. Great customer service, fast service and fresh food. The staff is friendly and efficient when it was busy. Great breakfast spot in Murray Hill.

    Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese, Tomato, and Avocado
    Annie C.

    Quick but not bark-in-your-face service and chill table space to eat. Not the best bagels ever but a reliable staple and lots of options.

    Cinnamon Raisin with CC. 3.25. nice chewy bagel
    Glenn C.

    Don't know why people are expecting amazing service from a bagel place early in the morning. They're fine here. Just know what you want to order. Anyway, the cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese was 3.25 which is fine for midtown. It was fresh and slightly chewy. It's your average bagel place. You get what you pay for and you can always go an ave down for cheaper better drinks. 3.3

    Clump of butter? Easiest thing to make. Bagel with butter and they still mess it up.

I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.

On a recent visit, I wanted to check if their payment policy had changed (they charge a fee for credit cards on top of the bill)... I asked them if they still charge a fee for credit cards and their answer was "there are signs everywhere". While that might be the case, i didn't see the sign...
