Some food items are gluten free, dairy free and soy free. Good service from the eatery staff. The place was busy during lunch hours but good service. Just note, hand sanitizer is provided at the cashier and there are restrooms available for customers only. I love the comfortable and cozy atmosphere. The Salmon bowl with organic quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, and broccoli are delicious and healthy! On top of that, meals come in compostable fiber takeout bowls along with disposable utensils made of plastic. If you care about cutting waste, the same as I do, it makes sense to carry reusable utensils made of stainless steel.

**3 Stars: Great Bagels, Frustrating Mistakes at Bagel World** Bagel World offers delicious bagels and a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options, but be prepared for potential order mix-ups and delays, especially during busy periods. **Pros:** * **Tasty Bagels:** Bagel World's bagels are the star of the show. They are made fresh daily and come in a variety of flavors, including classic plain, sesame, poppy seed, and everything. The bagels are chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside, and they hold up well to toppings. * **Generous Portions:** The portions at Bagel World are generous, ensuring that you get a good value for your money. The sandwiches and platters are loaded with fillings, and the sides are ample. * **Friendly Staff:** The staff at Bagel World is friendly and welcoming. They are always happy to help you choose the right bagel or sandwich for your taste. **Cons:** * **Frequent Order Mistakes:** Unfortunately, Bagel World is prone to order mix-ups. Items may be forgotten, prepared incorrectly, or given to the wrong customer. This can be frustrating, especially when you are in a hurry or have dietary restrictions. * **Long Wait Times:** During peak hours, especially on weekends, the wait times at Bagel World can be lengthy. Be prepared to wait in line for a while, both to place your order and to receive your food. * **Lack of Attention to Detail:** There is sometimes a lack of attention to detail in the preparation of food and beverages. Bagels may be toasted unevenly, sandwiches may be assembled incorrectly, and drinks may be made with the wrong ingredients. **Overall:** Bagel World offers great bagels and generous portions, but the frequent order mistakes, long wait times, and lack of attention to detail can be frustrating. If you are in a hurry or have specific dietary needs, be sure to check your order carefully before leaving the restaurant. **3 out of 5 stars. Good food, but room for improvement in accuracy and efficiency.** read more

Bagel World is far and away the best shop in the area.Their bagels are the old fashioned style boiled and baked, crispy outside and chewy inside. I love going on weekend mornings when they are always hot from the oven! They also have a crazy amount of cream cheese spreads in every flavor imaginable. Check their deli and you find top notch nova, applegate cold cuts, and tofu spreads. I'm a vegetarian and they even carry veggie meats for my sat morning egg fix. This place is family run, and I've noticed a step up over the last year or so. A health grade A has hung in the window for the last year while every other shop around here has a B or worse. The bread place up the block has been shut twice by the health dept in the last year alone(yikes). The cleanliness carries weight with me and it's noticeable in this place. The owner is always there and always out front helping his customers, I like that. Any problems I've ever had were always fixed right away, and I leave knowing my business means something to these people. Bring your dog to their side window and they even give him or her a treat while they serve you...... Beat that! read more

I've lived in Park Slope for more than 25 years and remember when Bagel World replaced a diner that was there. I've known the owner and the staff for many years since they opened. The food may not always be perfect, but overall, I've always been very pleased with it as well as the service and the camaraderie with the staff. The bagels and the muffins were always good as well as the spreads. At some point, I started branching out into Bagel sandwiches and was very happy with them . I have found other Bagel places in the Brooklyn area to be a little lacking for some reason and believe me I've tried many of them. I have moved from the neighborhood and do not get there as often as I would like, but I'm glad to see that they are still popular and when I do go in, I remember how much I like the place. read more

I ordered an oatmeal this morning and one toasted biyalis. Besides the fact that I had to wait for my order longer than 2 customers that ordered after me, my oatmeal came out as soup. A lot of milk and little oatmeal. I wasn't even asked how I prefer my oatmeal to be. So I just spend my money for the breakfast I won't even eat now. Not the greatest start of the morning. I will add 2 stars to my review because a business owner contacted me and offered to resolve an issue. I appreciate people who do care about their business and their customers. Thank you for taking care of this matter. read more

I stopped in here earlier today since I was across the street at the farmer's market and they were out of bagels -- not only did Bagel World still have fresh everything bagels at 2pm, but it was the best bagel I've had in NYC thus far. I also don't usually order cappuccinos but something about it today seemed appealing -- I was not disappointed in the least!!! Soooo so good!! The store was so cutely decorated for the holiday season and had extremely helpful & friendly staff as well. Such a good experience I cant wait to come back here! read more

This morning I purchased a platter with scramble eggs and cheese with bacon. while eating the eggs, I found parchment paper cooked in my eggs with cheese. This is unacceptable. I could have choked in this. The food there is already over priced. They charged me extra for the toast that should have come with the platter. I will never buy from them again. The french toast tasted old. The butter had a refrigerator taste. Be sure to check your food before you eat it. read more

Where to begin. This place is downright stupendous. Not only are the bagels and cream cheeses outstanding, but all of the baked goods they produce are divine.

I was really bummed. Flat/stale bagel. But it took 15 minutes because they were 'fresh'. Almost no cheese at all. Like literally, not visible. Bagel tastes soapy if that's possible. I've had an ok bagel from here before (expensive but not special) so I decided to try again. I will never come back. I recommend every bagel place in the area over the one. Bagel Hole, Bagel Factory, Bergen Bagel, anywhere over this spot. read more

He must frequent there often, and it was obvious how displeased the staff was with me wanting to purchase breakfast for this man. Regardless of position in life, he's still a human being. Recently I began to visit again, as the establishment is conveniently on my way to work. Per usual I order one of the specials of the day, and modify the order to include a medium iced coffee instead of the size small offered with the special. The order total is always under $13 with the up charge and tip included. Today the exact same order was almost $20 before tip. I mentioned the discrepancy in price, and ask why the difference today. They kept insisting it was due to ordering a medium iced coffee, yet it's never been an issue with past orders, including yesterday morning. Expecting a proper explanation, the staff simply shrugged their shoulders without any concern. I've visited Bagel World many times, to the point where two of the gentlemen behind the counter already know my order and bagel preferences. An almost $6 increase without a proper explanation is unacceptable, and a disservice to their clients. Bagel World has lost my business for good.

Yea I understand nothing is free these days but common I saw them charge my buddy for onions on his sandwich. Small stuff like that should be built into the base price of the sandwich. I'm surprised they don't charge for salt and pepper to be added to your sandwich. Also you could barley see any turkey in the sandwich since it only came with 2 slices of it. $14 for an egg sandwich is a bit too much this isn't Manhattan.

They're rather unusual -…read morethey're a little bit on the denser/drier/heartier side, unlike the very fluffy, soft, melt-in-your-mouth bagels that can be found other places. However, I personally think they're delicious and prefer them to the other style of bagel. The cream cheese is a little thicker than most places as well (in terms of viscosity rather than actual quantity) which I appreciate. Oddly despite all the positive reviews it's never swamped, which is appreciated when I'm in a hurry in the morning. The employees are especially nice as well - one woman who works the register on occasion is mention-worthily warm and kind. The iced coffee isn't the best, but it isn't the worst either. This place and Bagels by the Park are almost equidistant from my boyfriend's apartment and I've come to highly prefer this one. Not like there's much variation or that when there is, anything is prohibitive, but this place is nominally cheaper than other bagel spots as well.
