Place is clean and bright, service was nice and quick , patient and accommodating, bagels were fresh in the morning with plenty of cream cheese. Plus, it's in the neighborhood when visiting family. I would come back. read more

It is a nice deli with nice spacious seating is what I saw it as. Nice staff and food was good. read more

See all

The bagels are average at best - on par with bagel carts, but slightly less stale. Of the four bagels I purchased, three had green dots on the bottom. It didn't look like mold so we ate them anyway, but I can't figure out what they are... it looked like ink drops. There were a few tables and some window bar seating, which is nice to have, especially in a neighborhood where basically everything is take out only. The cashier was also super nice. Cream cheese on the side is sold by weight, $10/lb (same price for plain or flavored cream cheese) - the smallest container is about 4oz and was $2.99. Four bagels + two small containers of cream cheese ran me about $15; reasonable for high quality bagels/cream cheese but these didn't really cut it for me. *$10 minimum for credit cards* supposedly there's also a cash discount (as posted at the register) but I paid cash and there wasnt any discount. More likely they mean they add a fee to credit card transactions. read more

Fast service, yummy food! The staff is friendly and the food is always reliable. Order here for yourself or for an event and you won't be disappointed. read more

UPDATE: Things seem to have gone downhill. Below is an updated review for two recent experiences: In June, I received a bagel with spoiled plain cream cheese - I took 1 bite, instantly threw up, and threw the bagel away. I order from here very regularly, to the point where they know be by name, and hadn't had an issue until now. I decided to handle this nicely because they always provide great/friendly service. So I gave them a call to report and resolve this privately. I hadn't ordered again until today, and the same thing happened - spoiled cream cheese yet again. 2 bites, vomited, and threw it out. So this time I'm posting a review for others. This place clearly isn't keeping the cream cheese fresh, and/or utilizing FIFO properly. It's incredibly dangerous and only a matter of time until a customer gets very sick. I cannot return, and I won't be ordering again. It's really unfortunate because this is the only bagel shop in the neighborhood. read more

Stopped in on a Friday morning to grab a couple of bagels with cream cheese. They aren't doing seating inside so it's order and go. There was one other individual in the store and once they finished his order, I was assisted next. I initially wanted a blueberry and plain bagel however they were out of blueberry so second option was cinnamon Rasin. Nice amount of cream cheese to bagel ratio and always love the soft chewy bagel. Will keep this place in mind for a bagel when I'm in the area, just remember to get their early for the best selection. read more

Good!! Good!! Goood!!! This place is a local treasure!! We normally do breakfast in jersey before crossing into the City to work; trying to stay within reasonable breakfast pricing- talk about getting a bang for your buck!! $$$$! I normally order a bacon, egg and cheese on a roll- my boyfriend orders turkey, tomatoes on an everything bagel- in NJ we have paid as much as 19.00 for 2 sandwiches - at bagel tree - less than 13.00!!! Good food!! Good service!! Attentive to details!! Clean and well organized!! Convenient!! Everything we have tried there has not let us down!! Super satisfied and will keep coming back!! Soo whenever you're in the area - upper East Harlem- try it!! Buen provecho!! Bagel Sandwiches. Breakfast Sandwich. Everything Bagel. read more

This is the place for me and my coworkers for breakfast and lunch. Everything you get is amazing and delivery is always super fast. We can also count on bagel tree to accommodate we ask and label everything to identify whose is what in our orders. Also an additional lollipop to sweeten up the delivery. We live bagel tree. The location have, have never eaten at but cute corner spot on 124 to eat or just a quick pick up. read more

Fast service and courteous food is good and fresh it's my every morning stop before work

Ordered a salmon lox bagels with my bf and it was so good! Coffee is great. Accidentally spilled my drink and the owner was very kind and helped clean it right away. Definitely recommend this spot! read more

This was easily the rudest and most vulgar restaurant staff I have ever encountered in my life. I ordered from this place via a food delivery app. A man from the restaurant calls me up and literally *curses me out* because I asked for my sandwich grilled. How ridiculously bizarre is that? I canceled my order and I will never order from these folks again. read more

Great customer service but bagels weren't good. Seemed very processed. Soft but not foot.

Great food, amazing service, cheap prices. I also really like the ambiance of the place. Very spacious area.

This place is such a gem! Love the service and lattes! the lady at the front desk is always so sweet! The lattes are also always on point!

This place was great! I wanted a true NYC bagel when I visited and Bagel Tree didn't disappoint. I'd recommend it to anyone!

got a latte here and there was some weird piece of wood or something in my drink. The girl immediately denied that it was her even though it was clearly came out of my coffee. Needless to say I'm not coming back here and no one really should, it makes no sense. I've gotten their bagels, but it was just alright there's so many good bagel places just go somewhere else read more

Everything tasted bland and greasy, surprised this place has so many rave reviews on Uber Eats. Bagel also tasted stale.

Great place! The few times I've come here, I've gotten breakfast food, and it's been great! The customer service in this place is lovely as well. read more

OK, so this place has made some improvements in the past several months. I don't know if they have switched management or just got their act together, but I have found myself going here at least once a week. It's pretty much the only bagel and coffee place in the immediate area, so it's a go-to for the time being. I still don't order bagels with cream cheese here, but my boyfriend does and says that they have gotten better about not slathering it with excessive cream cheese when you ask them not to. My favorite thing to get is a pumpernickel bagel with lox. The bagels are always fresh, and the lox is just as fresh and high-quality as similar places in Midtown and the UES. The upside is that while places in those neighborhood charge upwards of $13.00 for a lox bagel, Bagel Tree prices theirs at a very reasonable $7.00. The only thing I'll dock points for is that their coffee is very overpriced. A medium iced latte is about $5.00, and the coffee sometimes tastes stale. They should either drop those prices or improve the product. --------------- Right around the corner and I still won't go back. When I say "light cream cheese" I don't mean "glob it on until it reaches critical mass". So much spread on my bagel that it squirted all over my handbag and my clothes. Disgusting! I had to throw it in the garbage. Same goes for my boyfriend's order. He requested light butter and when he pulled out his bagel, it was dripping in buttery slop. No thanks! read more

Love the fries, toasted onion bagel with vegetable cream cheese and the pastrami egg and cheese on a roll! Jackie is a sweetheart, she always remembers my orders and is super friendly! read more

Bruh coming from NJ I take my bagels seriously and all I can say is bagel tree really is the SPOT. Little pricey but their consistency in great tasting bagel sandwiches is KEY for me so I recommend highly. I go there every week without any regret or shame lol. The people are also really nice and remember my order which is great! read more

Recently opened this neighborhood food shop makes some of the tastiest sandwiches, best bagels and fresh chopped salads. In a neighborhood that has a long way to go like East Harlem, you can count on getting some fresh great tasting food here. It's very clean and well attended by the friendly staff. I will definitely be coming back for more great food! read more

Bagel Tree - Clean and friendly bagel and sandwich heaven in East Harlem. - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

It took this place forever and a half to open but it finally opened its doors this morning. For breakfast I ordered an everything bagel, scooped out with egg and sausage. Nothing complicated. Took a while to make but ok, $3.50 +tax. The bagel itself is pretty good, fluffy and easy to pull apart. I like my everything bagels heavily seasoned so I think it could use more on the top. Sausage circle on top of two scrambled eggs, it reminds me of living down in midtown. For now I give it an ok. The prices on the bottled beverages is kinda high for the area, im not sure how this place is going to hold up over time but we shall see. Their take away menu has a slew of spelling errors which I find entertaining but non-professional at the same time. read more

I've been working in this area for the past 14 years and finally have a quality place to eat. On the positive side, the place is nice and clean and the staff is very friendly. The food quality is good and the food is fresh. The salads are great as well as the burgers ( fries are not that great ) Free WIFI with seats too. The breakfast menu is pretty good too. On the negative side, it is the prices. The nickname we give at our work is the robbery joint because they will take your money. I'm always surprised how much I pay for any Item there including the coffee ( sucks) I guess I'm surprised because where the store is, Spanish Harlem not midtown Manhattan. This area had changed a lot in 14 years and this store represents the change so myself and my coworkers are still getting used to paying close to $10 for a sandwich and drink (the building where this store is was built around 3 ago) Again, quality, cleanliness, food and staff are very good but it can be pricey. read more

Loved this place! I live really close to it and I can say I'll definitely be a regular. I do agree with Keejoo though, the place took FOREVER to open. I heard someone in the place today say that it wasn't meant for this neighbourhood, but I disagree. Harlem is actually a wonderful place, it just sucks that many people take away from the wonderful culture of the neighbourhood by making it look bad with their distasteful behaviour. I've lived in Harlem for 16 years and while many people are against the gentrification of the neighbourhood, places like these are a breath of fresh air! read more

Bagel Tree - before the place opened - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

They have a $10 minimum to use your card (in 2019) and will try to make you buy food and products you don't want to fulfill that minimum. Buyers beware. read more

The service has went downhill and rude. The salad, paninis, cream cheese, tuna salad, and the other stuff inside looks like it's been sitting there for quite a long time. You can tell by the texture it's not fresh. I don't feel welcoming anymore, I feel like this place is about to shut down. read more

Good food and good service. It's a bit pricey, paninis are at 7 bucks or more And other items run up to 13 bucks. It can get packed pretty quickly on lunch times, so you better be there 10 minutes before 12. Sad part is there a minimum on cards , you must purchase 10.00 or more of stuff in Bagel tree. I haven't been there for a long time, it's a bit pricey for everyday lunch for me. If you have the money spend it. Ps. There bagels are awesome !! You should try it and they run out of them pretty quickly too. read more

Bagels are the best in the neighborhood, BUT that is not saying much since there are no other good bagel shops around.

Their wraps are great! Try the grilled chicken with spinach, honey mustard, and provolone wrap. It's was very fresh. I bought my friend here and they agreed it was delicious. Also the woman who owns the shop is super friendly. I once ordered home fries and was mistaken for fries and she called me back and gave me back my money. I really appreciated the integrity she showed and support it when I feel like having a wrap read more

Food is good but never opens on time. Leaves customers standing outside. Sign says open at 6am. Thursday I arrive at 6:02 am and still close. There's a gentleman standing outside also on this cold morning. So I call an a Latina lady answer the phone. I'm looking at her though the door. I then I asked her what time they open and she say 6 am. So I told her I'm at the door and it's now 5 after. She then opened the door and told me I have to wait because they has to fix things up. I said maybe you need to put 6:30 on the sign. This has happened every morning I been there. Bagel Tree needs to understand that people are on they way to work and need to get in and out. Would've gotten 4*'s but the late opening and the young lady attitude pushed me to find another place to go. read more

I ordered two bagels from door dash. When I received my order I was meet with disappointment as BOTH items were incorrect. As I use things such as seamless and door dash often I called the restaurant directly. I was meet with even more rudeness where the girl who answered said it wasn't there fault both orders were wrong and that it was what was printed on the receipt. When I went to explain that the options were available and that it wasn't my fault she proceeded to put me on hold. Little did she realize I was not on hold and heard her continuing to take orders. I waited on hold for ten minutes to no one getting back on the line with me. The food was mediocre and the customer service was beyond terrible and unreasonable. If you're ok with your order being messed up and the restaurant taking no responsibility this is the place for you. read more

Went here for lunch and the sandwich was $6.00 compared to 4 at the corner deli. The bread was stale and dry. Also I wanted to buy something sweet and they had it marked at twice retail $4.00 for peanut butter cups read more

Awesome little bagel shop right in my neighborhood! The people that work there are very friendly and efficient. Every now and then I'll stop in to grab breakfast. I usually go with avocado, egg, and cheddar on an everything bagel and it never disappoints! Definitely glad I found a good bagel place near me. I will be making many more visits! read more

Oh, Bagel Tree. You are a fickle beast. Your bagels are often times just the way I like them, a little crunch on the outside but soft on the inside. You are clean, well-kept, and well stocked with many goodies that some might say detract from the beauty of a good bagel. Nevertheless, those hardly distract me. The guys behind the counter know how to hook up my regular order, but for whatever reason that lady at the cash register is always too stressed and slightly rude. Also recommend the OJ, it's niceeeee. read more

Bagel Tree is a small blessing in disguise. Tucked away in East Harlem, this place is conveniently located on 124th street a quick hop from the train. The folks there are inviting, the space is very open and filled with natural light from the large windows that span the two sides of the corner establishment. Bagel Tree has high quality food, at fair costs. Service is great and they deliver too. Only issue would be hours for me so it is not the most convenient if one works until evening and looking for a bite. For a weekend pick me up or weekday lunch, this place is the one! read more

Amazing Fresh Bagels ...Great place to eat very friendly atmosphere .The guys that make the morning bagels Pancho and Benjamin are the best ...My partner and I always go for breakfast She gets an everything bagel with sausage Swiss tomatoes .omg !! the Swiss is always melted just right and I get an everything bagel with mayo cream cheese tomatoes and bacon ..EXCELLENT!!! Let's not forget the gIrls at the register..Pilar is very friendly always greets customers with a smile and makes our coffee just right. read more

This is a great development for the neighborhood. I am giving it 5 stars, not because the bagels are extraordinary (they are pretty good, however) but because this type of establishment is so sorely needed in our corner of East Harlem. I was also surprised at the friendly service. read more

Love this place. They are new in the neighborhood so they are adjusting, but so far it's wonderful. Super clean, friendly staff, quick service. And now they have WiFi! Plus the bagels are great. Best bagels in this neighborhood by far. This is definitely my new spot. read more

I really enjoyed this place for a quick sandwich or omelette. Bagels are awesome! If you need something quick and delicious I suggest give this bagel shop a try. read more
