Great bagel. Tons of options. Fresh, fast and friendly. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended

I had an extremely disturbing experience here this morning. I stood in line and watched the staff serve an entire line of customers ahead of me, including white and Hispanic customers. When it was finally my turn, the employee acted as if I wasn't standing there and began serving customers who had just walked in after me. I was clearly waiting to be served, and there was no reasonable explanation given for why I was repeatedly skipped. As a Black customer, the way I was singled out and ignored made me feel racially discriminated against. I walked out without ordering anything. Regardless of the reason, treating a customer as if they're invisible while openly serving people who arrived after them is unacceptable. I will not be returning. read more

Another morning and another bagel, which was just as delicious as one would expect for NY bagels. Service was fast and efficient and we left satisfied and ready to take on another day of touristy tasks. Convenient location and lines move quickly. read more

Nice, pleasant sit-down bagel eatery with the traditional bagel fillings. I stopped off here for breakfast after the dentist, which was an enjoyable experience. The staff were helpful and the coffee was nice and hot. I will return. read more

Best bagel of my life. The everything bagel was really the best everything bagel I've ever had. Great service, conveniently located.

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. read more

Quick service, really good bagels, and a large drink variety. I enjoyed a garlic bagel and everything bagel with their garlic cream cheese

Always consistent. Great prices for an omelette and the portions are large. - great eggwhites - large portions - super fresh hash browns - great coffee Positive vibes from Alex and the team. Love this place! read more

Had an everything bagel with cream cheese and lox. Very flavorful. Coffee was good, not great. Be prepared to pay a premium for the lox! Service was quick and workers were very polite. Visited on a Thursday morning and they were very busy. Small eat-in area was crowded. Has a typical NY bagel shop feel. read more

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. read more

I am a regular customer who picks up a bagel here 3-4 times per week. The attitude of the employees at this store is really upsetting. I had a situation where they forgot to put my bagel in the to-go bag and I didn't realize because there was also soda inside. When I got home and realized I had no bagel, they hung up the phone on me and said it was my fault for not checking my bag. This isn't the first time I've had an issue- they continually get orders wrong. The man who claims to be the manager is rude and doesn't care about customers. All he had to do was apologize, not to even mention offering me a discount for next time. They don't care about loyalty or quality and I would avoid this place if you can. read more

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. read more

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 read more

This place is awful. They use lowest quality ingredients. Don't get the lox! I had a serious stomach ache for hours and struggled all day at work. I've given them multiple chances to redeem themselves thinking that was just an "off day". So I got the chicken cutlet sandwich. Their chicken is awful. I went in one day for the most simple bagel with butter sandwich - now this is something you CANNOT mess up but this place manages to throw a clump of butter and close the bagel and the bagels here hurt your jaw. Stay away like the plague. read more

So, Ritual was offering a seemingly pretty decent discount on a 'Cubano Scooper Melt' - essentially a scooped out bagel with 'oven roasted ham, fresh turkey, Swiss cheese, dill pickle and Russian dressing' So, I placed my order and added a request/instruction of the bagel to be toasted, no Russian dressing, and if possible, add mustard. I went to pick up my order, was a pretty quick transaction. Got back to the office - a Russian-dressing soaked half-scooped bagel with a couple slices of deli meat and cheese, with maybe half of gherkin hidden somewhere in the mess. Meh. read more

Service is a bit "snippy" but you're in New York... Make up your damn mind, place an order and get out of the way already! The bagels are spot on. Chewy and soft on the inside, crunchy on the outside. While in the city for a long business trip, I tried the everything, cheddar bacon, and egg everything bagels. My favorite was the egg everything! They also have lots of cream cheese options. I only tried the scallion and garlic herb. I liked both, don't make me pick a favorite. ;) They give a HUGE schmear of cream cheese so be ready for a mouthful. Some will likely even ooze out onto your lap if you're not careful. Or, you know, you could ask for them to go light with the cream cheese but you will likely be judged. They have a good variety of options for caffeine, too. I stopped in for my fair share of coffee (enjoyed the lattes and cappuccinos, wish they had a non dairy option like soy or almond milk) and hot tea. I love how they pack it all up to go in a compact little brown bag, bagel and beverage in the same bag. I made it several blocks to the office every morning with the to-go bundle and never spilled. I was especially grateful for their 6am opening Friday morning when I had to catch an early morning shuttle to Newark and desperately needed coffee! read more

Dirty and rude. There are better places to try in the neighborhood. Spreads seemed like they weren't fresh.

Came here twice when I was staying nearby over the weekend. Fast service, delicious bagels & cream cheese & the coffee was good too. They've got a few tables and chairs inside & it gets crowded, but the line moves quickly. I'll definitely be back if I'm staying nearby. read more

I stayed at a nearby hotel and was looking for an authentic NY bagel! This spot has tons of locals, which is a good sign that the bagels are legit. Super quick and fresh! I was impressed by the selection of cream cheeses - I got the low-fat scallion and it was sooooo good. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I'll probably be back two days in a row. But hey, it's vacation! read more

Used to be a regular until today. And when you are a regular you know your set prices. One of the days out of the week, there is this taller, slim hispanic guy that usually does not wear a mask that handles the cashier. First off, I greeted him good morning and was completely ignored and had to deal with already nasty but think he runs sh** attitude. Then when he rang up the wrong price, i told him that I normally pay $4.50 everyday he proceeds to say "who said that?! Who said that?! I MAKE THE PRICES HERE!" More like you MAKEUP the prices there. Im not your child to be speaking to like that and I know who the owners of this establishment are. This man is thinking he is actually running this place but hes more like running people out of there with his stanky attitude. I will not give this place my or anyone from my place of work any business. I went back to work to tell all my coworkers that USED to go there what happened and they knew immediately who I was talking about. Such a shame. One nasty worker can ruin this place reputation read more

Best bagels in all of New York! Dense and chewy - just perfect. The service is friendly and efficient.

They lure you in with fast delivery promise (15-25 minutes) but always over an hour. Also no phone numbers are answered. The 212 number is always off the hook. And their 917 number doesn't accept calls. Just put a real timeframes and you won't annoy your customers so much. read more

2 1/2 * I had a plain bagel with jalapeño asiago cream cheese and was a little disappointed. The cream cheese had no kick to it at all! Would have loved if spiciness of the jalapeño came out to compliment the saltiness of the cheese. The bagel was average, not as chewy as I like my bagels. Service was fast and friendly. read more

The staff was rude, I put extra cash in tip jar to maybe help. I ordered an iced coffee and a vegetarian breakfast wrap with avocado . The wrap had bacon in it, no avocado. I didn't complain I just needed some water to get it down. When I asked for an extra cup of water, the man said no and turns away to ignore me. He then says" I don't waste cups". I had to purchase a cup of water, with ice for 3 dollars. Slammed the register shut. Will not be returning. read more

I've been to bagel express a few times and have had a good experience every time. The bagel sandwiches are good but nothing special. The inside of the restaurant is simple and exactly what you would expect. I've see other reviews complain about rude workers but I've never had a bad experience with them they are to the point and get your order done quickly. The prices are fair. read more

Why did I give this place another chance?! There's tons of bagel shops in NYC, avoid this one at all costs. Shouldn't take over an hour to deliver a bagel egg and cheese. After an hour, I called the store "delivery guy will be there in 5 minutes" ...15 minutes pass and I call back "do you still want it? If you want the bagel, you're going to have to wait. Click." Are you fucking serious?! Of course I still want my food. My hangover can't handle this. The worst place of all time. Superseded by god awful customer service. AVOID! Go to any bodega across the street, this place doesn't deserve your business. Dead Bagel EXPRESS, please change your name. read more
