The bagels from Bagel House were perfectly decent, but there are other aspects that were less than ideal. The case with the bagels in it was a bit of a mess, with some bagels dumped onto the bottom, seemingly forgotten, and the case with the spreads was a bit disorganized too. Kinda made it challenging to figure out which spread to pick. The staff were also not the easiest to communicate with. On the bright side, the price was pretty great. So, if you're just trying to grab a bagel at a decent price, and you don't really care much about anything else, Bagel House gets the job done. I just wasn't particularly impressed. read more

Good service When it hectic in the morning they always give me the wrong order and don't notice until I'm on the road,work or home. They been surcharging my debit card like a credit card which is illegal in new york and I always say debit card . But know changes read more

Ate here today for lunch by myself before going to work. I definitely got the lox with everything bagel and a side of bottle of grape juice. It definitely tasted great and delicious. The service there was also attentive and super fast and quick. Finally, I would definitely eat and come back again next time. read more

The bagels are good. However the older man who seems to be the owner/manager is rude so it's not worth returning.

ooof! Really disappointing bagels, they're dry, flavorless, small, and really just remind me of stale bread. I ordered egg whites and ham, and the portions were minuscule. read more

Overpriced Overpriced Overpriced Bagels are ok, sometimes excellent. But, again, Overpriced read more

Bad customer service. The food is ok but not worth going back with the bad customer service with the man at the register.

No frills mom and pop bagel shop. Was in the area and found this place on google had great reviews so I decided to drop in. Customer service was great, they were attentive and prepared the food quickly. Very tasty n filling read more

A life long fan of the bagels, but such terrible arrogant moody service coming from the guy at the register who I think is the manger. I hope the owner has a talk with this guy because I forgive and forget but when it's the third time I'm receiving un-inviting service something must be said. read more

Generally service is good. I order every weekend. Great bagels! Frequently the phone just rings out and I have tried all morning. What's the issue? The man at the register has to be the rudest person ever. Girls that work there are great. Owner needs to talk the guy on the register. He has no social skills and is very dismissive of his customers. read more

They have the best bagels here, but they always seem to run out on the weekends! Get here early. The bagels are big and very tasty. Best in NYC. To the owners: please increase production in the weekends!! read more

WHAT HAPPENED? We've been diehard patrons for years. Three weeks ago I wasn't feeling well, so I called to order delivery and was on hold for over 8 minutes "we're busy." So I go back in person today. There is no shortage of employees but there is absolutely no direction. After waiting with no one ahead of me in line, the usual cashier who has been milling about came to take my order. I repeated it twice, he grabbed bagels and then he disappeared never to be seen again during this visit. Another person asked me to confirm my order. I repeated it a third time. They said okay. Then they came back and asked "you want Turkey Bacon?" No--I never said turkey bacon nor did I order turkey bacon. Today, or ever in my life. Just crispy bacon like a normal human. I go to pay, and the new cashier repeats my order, just as I ordered it the three times I repeated it today, never again mentioning turkey bacon. While the bagels continue to shrink and the cost was much higher than usual, I paid and went on my way. At home, of course the bagel sandwich is made with turkey bacon. Why bother having customers order if you are just going to prepare whatever you feel like and charge them for your mistakes? It has been nearly ten years of Sunday bagels here, and while the food is good (even though it is shrinking) the staff incompetency makes this increasingly less appealing. read more

Service was good but I got home when I discovered hair in my food and they don't even give me a refund read more

Bagel House IV - Hair in the food - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jackson Heights, New York

If I could give this location a 0 I would. I have worked and lived in the neighborhood for more than 20 years and I have had issues with their customer service in the past, but today was the worst. I called my order in so that it could be ready when I got to the store. The woman who answered had a hard time understanding what I was saying and I admit it, I had a hard time understanding her as well even though I am bilingual and fluent in both English and Spanish. Let's chuck it off to a misunderstanding but she chose to go back and forth with me on the phone. Finally placing my order and letting her know that I didn't need anything else, I hung up and when I was ready, walked over to pick up my lunch and my daughter's lunch who attends The Louis Armstrong School. When I got to the store, this woman had not prepared my food and at that moment took the chicken out the fridge to put in the microwave. I was in shock and honestly, pissed off that my order was not prepared considering my daughter and I had just about 10 minutes to get to school and work. THIS woman did this on purpose, because of her ego she chose not to prepare my food and therefore my daughter had to go to school without her lunch today. I hope they can sleep tonight knowing that they have an employee that is so spiteful that she would purposefully choose NOT TO DO HER JOB!!! They have lost a long time client, and I will tell anyone who chooses to purchase or eat at this establishment not to do so. BTW, I am a teacher in the neighborhood and many times have ordered for events, NEVER AGAIN!! Si pudiera darle un 0 a este lugar, lo haría. He trabajado y vivido en el vecindario por más de 20 años y he tenido problemas con su servicio al cliente en el pasado, pero hoy fue el peor. Llamé para hacer mi pedido para que estuviera listo cuando llegara a la tienda. La mujer que respondió tuvo dificultades para entender lo que estaba diciendo y lo admito, a mí también me costó entenderla, aunque soy bilingüe y hablo inglés y español con fluidez. Vamos a dejarlo como un malentendido, pero ella eligió ir y venir conmigo por teléfono. Finalmente, hice mi pedido y le dije que no necesitaba nada más, colgué y cuando estuve lista, caminé para recoger mi almuerzo y el almuerzo de mi hija que asiste a la escuela Louis Armstrong. Cuando llegué a la tienda, esta mujer no había preparado mi comida y en ese momento sacó el pollo del refrigerador para ponerlo en el microondas. Estaba en shock y, sinceramente, furiosa porque mi pedido no estaba preparado, considerando que mi hija y yo teníamos solo unos 10 minutos para llegar a la escuela y al trabajo. Esta mujer lo hizo a propósito; por su ego, decidió no prepararme la comida y, por lo tanto, mi hija tuvo que ir a la escuela sin su almuerzo hoy. Espero que puedan dormir esta noche sabiendo que tienen una empleada tan rencorosa que decidió a propósito NO HACER SU TRABAJO. Han perdido a una clienta de mucho tiempo, y le diré a cualquiera que decida comprar o comer en este establecimiento que no lo haga. Y yo soy maestra en la vecindad y varias veces he hecho pedidos por eventos, NUNCA MAS!!!! read more

Just judging by the outside the place is dirty full of pigeon droppings, which by the way is a health hazard. Once you go in is also dirty, I ended up with food poisoning. So eat there at your own risk !!! Droppings can also spread disease, and exposure to the birds could cause illness, especially in those who are immunocompromised. Pigeons themselves can carry a variety of parasites, such as ticks. If you have a significant pigeon problem, it may be worth contacting a professional who can use the proper tools and techniques to keep the birds away. read more

Bad customer service, Walked in and placed an order they kept walking away as i was tryna order them when she finally came back she had a nasty attitude with me. read more

The bagels here are fresh, chewy and amazing. I got a bunch of bacon eggs and cheeses on a toasted bagel for my colleagues, and they all loved it. They make it fresh so it does take a few minutes, but it's totally worth it. It's a no frills place and it's straight to the point. I'm pretty sure I finished my bagel in about 2 minutes, it was that good! They also have some sides like home fries, but the bagels are the star. There's a whole case of different types of bagels, so there's quite a variety. If you're ever in the area, I recommend getting breakfast for here. It's conveniently located across the street from the Q66 and it's on Northern Blvd. read more

Classic bagel sandwiches! I had a great bagel immediately landing in New York! Fast friendly service and gave me tips on the city! Small local shop so it had a retro, classic feel to it. read more

Great service very family oriented service with a smile never have to wait long either even when they deliver the delivery person is sweet and always rings my bell with a smile on her face. I will always recommend these guys. Gus is the greatest. read more

These are the best bagels in Jackson Heights. Yea there is a relatively new place opened from Manhattan on Roosevelt and their bagels look good but Bagel House beats them on flavor. The bagels here have a great crust, chew and just the right density. And it feels like a real part of the community with clusters of old timers from the nearby coops kibitzing over coffee and bagels. read more

I ordered a number 9 which is a grill chicken sandwich. I ordered it on a roll which is the only adjustment I made. The chicken was burned, it was dry. I only ate it because I was hungry and on the way to work so I didn't have time to stop anywhere else. A waste of $7 bucks. Don't go here if you are in a rush, super slow and they have a lot of people working there. It's a hit or miss and that is why I gave it two stars instead of 1. read more

Worst customer service ever! I went there today 10/10/24. I have never written a review in my life. however this cashier was so dismissive. He looked to be the guy running the joint. He made a snarky comment and walked away as if saying he didnt want to hear what I had to say. I am surprised this place has been open so long. there is a better place 2 blocks away. I know am just one person but I had to put it out there. Sorry I soent $40 in thete but he made me feel like I was paying 40 cents. read more

The Bagel House has been a quick breakfast/brunch staple in Jackson Heights/East Elmhurst for so long! Finally writing a review as a lifelong customer (over 20 yrs). With the best main ingredient, NYC Water - bagels n bialeys are always on point, tasty & fresh daily, a + with lox & crm cheese. Fave s/w is #6 smkd turkey/cheese, sundried tomato w/ honey mustard. A T.v./news & online ordering would be grt- but its authentic self is always fine. Tip: If you're feeling extra indulgent, try the red velvet cheesecake muffin in the mornings, when freshest! read more

So today was my first time trying this location. I've been looking for a good bagel location near my job. Well I think I found my new spot. There was parking right in front of the establishment. I went around 12pm. The lady that took my order was very pleasant. They staff made my breakfast sandwich pretty fast. The sandwich was very tasty. The egg and cheese on a toasted bagel was very good. I've never had an egg and sesame bagel that was new, but it was good. I will definitely be returning. Oh and the price wasn't bad at all. read more

Love this spot! Fresh bagels, great whitefish salad, good price. And great service. Like the old school bagel places from my childhood.

As usual the owner is rude! He's mad because I wrote a review about him previously. However, if the shoe fits!!! Further, if you disagree with my opinion of you, wouldn't you work to disapprove it by providing decent costumer service. And I'll keep coming back since it's on my route. The bagels are good and the ladies are lovely. You sir are the problem and your behavior does not intimidate. See you next week ;) read more

Bagel House IV is really a community focused business. The teachers at a local public school, PS 148Q The Ruby G. Allen School, recently asked for a donation for a school event. Without even a question, the manager donated a case of water for our cause. The Bagel House IV has been a valuable member of our community for years and this shows that even when times are challenging for businesses, the Bagel House remains a committed supporter of our community, a local school and its staff. Thank you Bagel House on Northern Boulevard for being a valuable part of our community. We appreciate your generosity. If you are looking for a great bagel or a fresh-made sandwich - go to Bagel House on Northern. All the teachers are there showing their support. You will not be disappointed. read more

Freshly chewy and tasty. They custom made my bagel with egg whites... no one else has done this for me before. My friend inhaled his 2 bagel sandwiches in 5 minutes. Definitely recommend. For people visiting NYC... this is what we're talking about when we refer to the NYC bagel. Not gonna find it elsewhere read more

Great bfast sandwiches there. Only downfall is the Saturday and Sunday morning line . It's moves pretty fast and well worth the wait. Highly recommend it. Change of owners. Sandwich I ordered was wrong. Muffin wasn't toasted. No order behind the counter. Won't b going back. It's sad the original ppl had it all running like a well oiled machine and now it's a free for all. Feel bad for two girls that worked with old owners. read more

The service has become so bad here that after being loyal customers for 7 years we had to stop coming. Nothing is organized, orders are wrong, no one picks up the phone. It's sad. read more

Worst customer service. I have seen the gentleman in the register is rude and obnoxious with customers for no reason. If you ask a question he sarcastically responds. He clearly looks unhappy and miserable, not a great way to serve people starting out their day. The only reason they are in business is because it's the only Bagel shop within a three 2 block radius and near a bus stop. read more

I have been going here for over 20 years. Great food and service! The value is outstanding also, especially compared to Manhattan prices.

Delicious! One of the few old school bagel shops left in the area. Their whitefish spread is on point and the staff are fast and friendly.

They mess up the orders, you don't get the orders correctly, the older gentleman who works there is very rude I bought from his establishment earlier in the morning. I asked for a coffee tray (I had bought coffee from a different store) & he refused to give me one EVEN THOUGH I bought 2 bagels from him!! read more

I live around the corner from Bagel House and I love their bagels! They're fresh and so good. The place is lowkey but always reliable. My friends who come to visit say they are the best bagels in new york! read more

This place is like an institution. I never realized it has such good food until recently. I know about it because a lot of the stories the older people from my building tell me start with things like... "That lady goes around the bagel house saying....." "He thinks he owns the bagel house or something..." "I saw her at the bagel house the other day and I didn't even say hi..." and so on and so forth. So for years, I stayed my butt out the bagel house, because I didn't want people talking about me or watching me or all up in my business...I was like...really? all this hoopla over some bagels? How is all of this stuff going on in this small place?! But recently out of necessity, I have grabbed some sandwiches and bagels from the bagel house and the smoked turkey sandwich with brie and sun dried tomatoes was great. Fantastic... I can see why these people gravitate towards the place...I feel like im 16 all over again trying to sneak into the club... Finally, I have something to look forward to when I get older...I can go to the bagel house and then talk about the people I see later....I feel just a little older already just thinking about it! read more

Very good portion for the price and the bagel are very good a lot of flavor especially the smoke salmon very good

This place most definitely has the best bagel I've ever eaten in Queens and I'm so happy that they're in my neck of the woods. Bagels should be chewy, doughy, firm but not too firm that it can be mistaken as stale. The really know how to get em' just right - their bagels with cream cheese take me back to when I was in high school and in a relationship with everything bagels from a Pick-A-Bagel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. I ate those bagels every morning in secret so I didn't have to share when I got to my school's auditorium because I was hungry and breakfast was....OK ENOUGH RANTING. Aside from creamy, cream cheese bagels, I've also done their breakfast sandwiches. Super reasonably priced goodness with fluffy scrambled egg, yummy turkey sausage, melted yummy cheese and just the right about of salt and pepper on a toasted & buttered BAGEL. Clientele -wise, Bagel House IV is pretty humorous because people are just chattering away in Spanish for the most part and everyone kind of sounds like they're gossiping. I could easily see this place in a South American soap opera (novelas). Staff-wise, everyone is super friendly. Sometimes I just look at their menu and say nothing and they'll chime in to help me figure out what I want, then I proceed to get what I always order because I'm a creature of habit and they're good at what they do so why fix it if it's not broken? Although it has definitely been awhile since I've last been here, it's not Bagel House though, it's me. But I'll be back soonzies I'm sure :). read more

I've been buying from bagel house since 2010 , overall the food was amazing until 2019 the croissants aren't the same anymore , and be careful with who ever charges you if it's the elderly man he's fishy with prices sometimes he charges me more and I've noticed it I order the same thing every time when it's the lady she charges me less and when it's the man he charges me more so there's that . read more
