Bagels & Co. in New York is fantastic. The workers were so nice and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The food was great, and it's the kind of place you immediately want to tell everyone about. I'll definitely be back and recommending it to anyone visiting the city. Always grab a salt and egg bagel to go! read more

Bagels & Co - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Very standard bagel place. I got the everything with scallion spread and added tomato. The staff were fast on preparing the bagels and the price is what you expect ($5ish). Its nice that they have enough space with some tables so you can eat you bagel there if you go on a rainy day. read more

They were open at 5:00 am so earlier than most bagel places. These are real NY bagels and are unique to the area. Every time in NYC I have to grab real bagels. The service was great order at the counter wait for your order (bagel, egg and cheese) with a coffee and relax. Early arrival means a quiet atmosphere which is great to relax and enjoy. A dozen to go (actually 15 to a dozen) and I was on my way. read more

Bagel was good and surprisingly the salmon was very fresh. Wish they put capers on it. Was overall a good sandwich and liked it a lot. Service was pretty quick. read more

Nice variety of bagels and baked goods. The bagels were... just bagels, and the croissants were... just croissants. Nothing bad--just nothing that stood out. It was a plus to have seating available inside the shop. Not disappointed, just a bit underwhelmed. read more

Sooo GOOD! I was not expecting much, but the bagel was nicely toasted, but the bagel could had been chewier with a better texture. I got the everything bagel with salmon (the number 1). The cream cheese was lovely layered with smoked salmon and naturally sweet tomatos. The place offered desserts, pastries, and pizza along with bagel. read more

Conveniently located on the corner of York and 76th. Reliable bagel and flagel stop with a reasonable good pizza section - plenty of cold drinks - Reasonable prices except for the freshly made whitefish which is worth getting for its freshness. Lots of fast paced courteous people to help - makes it a pleasant stop. Enough tables to sit and stay - take out works east also if you pull the gf on 76th - no parking but cars were lining the street. Happy to find this easy access place. read more

Huge, delicious, and very appropriately seasoned everything bagels! So many cream cheese options, and really friendly staff! The price is similar to most places in New York. The only thing I can suggest is changing the layout of the seats (feels cramped) and offering WiFi :) read more

Bagels & Co - Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I ordered two bagels and unfortunately, one of the bagels was completely incorrect (which I didn't realize until getting home). Normally I can roll with a mistaken bagel order, but in this case I received a heavily salted bagel which was painful to eat. I had to saw off the large chunks of salt with a knife to make it palatable. I also ordered a challah french toast which looked fantastic, but was just...very mediocre. This place is close to where I live so I'd be open to giving it another chance. read more

Bagels & Co - Onion bagel toasted with sundried tomato cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I highly recommend this café for breakfast. We stayed in NYC for seven days and went there at least five times. It's quite small, but they offer a great variety of bagels and other food options. It does get crowded, so I'd recommend going early if you want to grab a table. read more

Great place and good food at fair prices. Grilled cheese with vegetables $7. Went there today with 4 friends. Line out the door because the food is good and well prepped. IF you see the neg reviews they are made by a group of losers --check the picture and you get the idea. Bagels & Co workers are honest hardworking people who are running a business. Food is amazing and the place is super clean. read more

Bagels & Co - the unfair reviews by people of a certain ideology who have never been there. - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Bagels here are somewhat average, but they've certainly got a lot of them in terms of variety. It does get rather crowded inside, and seating is limited, but they often put out tables and chairs outside. One of the employees spat on the floor under the outdoor table he was cleaning, which was pretty gross and hence why I gave a 3-star rather than a 4. read more

Great food, great service. We had breakfast every day of our vacation here, except Saturday. Their drip coffee is great, be sure to say if you want cream and sugar in it. read more

Bagels & Co - Everything bagel with Plain Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

The bagels were amazing, kids had plain with plain cream cheese but the texture and softness and warm crispness was great. They asked for tomatoes and olives on the side...olives were savory and flavorful and up to par! I had lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion and capers on poppy seed bagel and devoured the whole thing - rarely do I finish a whole bagel! And we had a chocolate croissant toasted - I swear it was better than Paris! Highly recommend...idk why this place had such low reviews on yelp! read more

It's been years since we've patronized Bagels & Co. (probably not since the catering fiasco I wrote about in my prior review). But Robert Sietsema -- a food critic I generally like and respect -- recently deemed Bagels & Co. the best purveyor of bagels on the UWS (https://ny.eater.com/2024/1/17/24036469/best-upper-west-side-bagels), so of course we had to check things out for ourselves. Since we are greedy little monkeys, we ordered a bunch of things to go with our bagels: malawach, shakshuka, falafel in a pita, falafel platter. For our bagels, we ordered our usual everything bagel (the basis for all our bagel reviews) and a plain bagel, since that was Sietsema's baseline. The everything bagel came with less "everything" seasoning than we typically prefer, a relatively moderate coat of sesame, poppy seed and garlic, no salt, though importantly, the seasoning was evenly distributed on all sides of the bagel. Both bagel varietals had a lovely chew on the outside, but they were also a touch fluffier and sweeter than we prefer them on the inside -- of the same ilk as Absolute and H&H bagels (as it has been for the past decade, anyway), which also ranked high on Sietsema's list. ** Our bagel conclusion: Sietsema's preferences for bagels differ from ours. We like traditional NY bagels, which tend to be a bit denser, less enormous, and less sweet. By those standards, Tal is still, by far, the best in the neighborhood! ** As for everything else, the pitas that came with the falafel platter and falafel sandwich were stellar, clearly homemade, substantial, and very fresh. They anchored a lovely falafel sandwich, filled with just the right ratio of falafel to Israeli salad, all drenched with a rich, creamy, Israeli style hummus. The falafel platter was slightly less successful, with unusually shaped half cylinder falafels served over a large lettuce leaf. By themselves, the falafel were a little bit bland, but there was plenty more of that good, creamy hummus to liven things up. The Israeli salad was also bland and could have benefited from salt, alliums, fresh herbs, olive oil, and for our tastes, a touch more acid. A side of homemade pickles, on the other hand, was great -- garlicky with a touch of sweet spices I couldn't quite place (cloves? star anise?). The malawach was itself excellent, comprised of layers upon layers of flakey pastry (not unlike a really good, authentic scallion pancake or croissant, I should note). And it managed to retain that lovely texture despite arriving generously filled with moist ingredients like tomato sauce, chopped vegetables, and hardboiled eggs. The tomato sauce was excessively and unidimensionally sweet, however, which somewhat ruined the pastry / sandwich, since you couldn't remove the sauce. We're picky about our shakshuka and didn't really love this version, which was again too sugary for our preferences, with egg yolks that were firm and cooked through. The sauce was also a little too watery (it needed to be cooked down a bit more) and excessively oily for our tastes (though I understand this might be a preference; Ottolenghi's recipes call for a lot more oil than I use!!!). But the amount of heat was quite lovely. All in all, the food at Bagels & Co. still tends towards being overly sweet, especially where there's tomato sauce involved, but those falafel sandwiches might be my new favorite in the neighborhood. And the bagels aren't too shoddy, either, even if they're not entirely our type. Adding this place back into rotation. read more

Delicious bagels and scallion cream cheese. Having had some other bagels in a couple of other spots, there was no comparison to this place. JUST DELICIOUS BAGELS!!! read more

This small-ish storefront on the Upper West Side knows its clientele and does brisk business serving up a respectable range of bagels, spreads, and smoked fish as well as other breakfast fare (pancakes, omelettes) and pizzas. We stopped in late on a grey and drizzly Saturday morning and amazingly managed to grab a table. I did my usual bagel shop order: whole wheat everything + whitefish salad. The food isn't cheap, but it's not as egregiously expensive as H&H, and the bagels are MUCH better. While the whitefish was a little subdued, the bagel is among the best I've had in NYC: pleasantly chewy exterior and a soft interior. read more

Very good bagels & delicious pizza, especially the spinach & ricotta. Comfortable, friendly atmosphere, too.

Being a Chicagoan coming to visit the Upper West Side, I had big hopes for this place to really crush it in terms of quality, variety and taste of the bagels and the same for their deli offerings. New Yorkers are going to hate me for saying it, but, I got to tell you, I was disappointed. In order to really do a fair, impartial and fairly standardized test, I went for an egg bagel with a schmear and a cup of coffee. The size or volume of the individual bagel was average. The flavor was nothing special. The gentleman toasted it, and it really didn't have a toastiness and so far as texture or flavor. I tasted the cream cheese and was not impressed, so I went for a schmear of butter... Because the dude said they didn't have margarine! What kind of bagel place serving to Jews with cholesterol and overweight problems doesn't offer margarine???... And the amount of butter was like they were saving a penny on my order. I barely got any butter. So lame. The cup of coffee was underwhelming but at least it was hot. Other than that, this place had constant turnover of customers, it was busy. It seemed like they all knew each other, so that's nice that they've got a regular crowd. It was a really small place, crammed in for customers and clearly crammed in for the employees. I can't imagine rush hour in the morning being a pleasant experience. New York prices, no less! I can name three places at home which are notably better, and one is called the New York Bagel & Bialy! Irony! read more

Always crowded and IMO, the bagels are decent, not great. It's a Kosher deli that has a wide choice of bagels, sandwiches, and spreads. Located on 79th & Amsterdam on the Upper West Side. Bagels are super big and crispy on the outside, a little too doughy for me, but it's always busy, so that's just my opinion. I really like the staff, so they get an extra star for that. They work hard and no matter how long the line is, it always goes fast and they keep it moving. Nice tables, so you can sit outside. Good coffee. read more

Anywhere else in the city, you can get a bagel for triple the quality and half the price. I felt robbed by them, to be honest. Probably one of the worst bagels I've had in New York! $14 for a sausage egg and cheese!? Insanity. read more

I was in here today when all of a sudden p*rnographic audio started playing over the speaker for at least 1.5 minutes. There were so many children in the store and the people working there were laughing, and did not seem concerned about stopping it. So beyond inappropriate. read more

Solid lox bagel at a reasonable price Given the skyrocketing prices, seems tough to find a decent lox bagel without breaking the bank. This place fits the bill. For 12 bucks, fulfilled my craving. Bagel was large, fresh, and soft, layered with just the right amount of smoked salmony goodness. Topped with a thick layer of cream cheese and a generous sprinkling of salty capers - yum read more

The goal of this trip was to get a rainbow bagel and we succeeded. My son wanted to get a rainbow bagel and was very happy to walk out with a rainbow bagel and rainbow sprinkle cream cheese.

Bagels & Co - Rainbow bagel - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

$20 for a dry, tasteless, stale bagel breakfast sandwich from a place whose only unique characteristic is being open earlier than any other bagel shops in the radius; the early bird may catch the worm, but so does the early snake. Telling you to ask about prices is a red flag: they're likely hiding the costs, making it harder to compare, and counting on you feeling awkward enough not to question it. It wasn't until after I ordered that I took a look around at the way the place was decorated and realized I had been duped into supporting a sinister entity. Don't spend your money here. read more

A hefty lox bagel! Down to earth and cute spot. Decent coffee too! Nice place to grab and go to park.

Coming off of a major disappointment from an eatery nearby, Bagels & Co was exactly what I needed to make my day better. Packed with people, the feel of the shop wasn't as stuffy as much as it felt warm and homey. The man helping me was kind and had a welcoming smile. They had exactly what I wanted (a blueberry bagel and a blueberry muffin-- which are hard to come by at 2PM on a Sunday afternoon). The service was quick. The man who helped me was kind. The food was good. They have a lot of halal / kosher options. Seating is crowded but ample. The dude manning the register looked like he'd rather shove his head in a toilet than take my money but that was a minute of my time spent there. The bagel was fantastic. Fluffy, well baked, and all around perfect. The eggs in my sandwich had SO many egg shells (my only complaint). The amount of cheese used was perfect. The muffin was insane. Not too sweet and perfectly sized. I'd come back in an instant. Thank you, Bagels & Co for proving that there are some restaurants in the area that are down to earth AND serve good food. read more

Bagels and Co was one of the two food highlights of my day today. The men behind the counter are so friendly and funny while they do their job professionally and quickly! I was so excited to have a place to eat my brunch. I took a lot of photos and returned later to eat. I was waited on promptly ordering a Spinach Knish to stay and two mini Everything Bagels to go. It was placed on a tray and I paid $7.60 at the register. I showed proof of vaccination and found a table a distance from the other customers. I thoroughly enjoyed my Knish. I'm excited to try their bagels. After I finished the tray was taken away by the delivery man that doubled as custodian. He was cleaning the tables and the sinks in the kitchen area. I was paying attention! I asked him if I could use the restroom and he pointed it out to me. It's well stocked even though it's old. I definitely enjoyed everything about my visit here today. It's safe to say I'll return to eat when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

I had an everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese, which was pretty average. There's also a pretty wide variety of other food available - I had the lasagna once, and that was also pretty average. This is an alright choice when it isn't busy, but nothing too remarkable. read more

The place is very very busy and seems to have a constant flow of people (we went at 2 on a Friday. We got 4 bagel sandwiches. 2 sesame bagels - one with cream cheese, one with whitefish salad, 2ultihraom bagels, one with cream cheese and lox, tomato, capers, and one with lox, eggs, cheese, tomato, lettuce and onions. Food was very good all around and quickly prepared. Fresh ingredients. The one issue I saw is that these guys are moving so fast they don't always take care. My sandwich disintegrated as he put it In the bag, but he just forced it down anyway. I had to reassemble some when I got it home. Overall very good, but rushed, and the English comprehension wasn't great. read more

After reading the Eater article about the best bagels on the UWS, I was excited to try this place. I ordered a toasted sesame bagel with lox cream cheese spread. I don't review places often but feel I must let the people of NYC know about my terrible experience. To spare the dirty details, within 45 minutes of eating my bagel, I experienced intense stomach discomfort. To provide context, I'm not lactose intolerant, eat bagels often, and hadn't eaten anything in the 18 hours leading up to my visit, making it clear to me that the culprit was Bagels & Co. Suffice it to say I won't be returning. Plenty of other, better, and cleaner bagel shops on the UWS. read more

Awesome bagels and latte!! The place is always crowded to vouch for the popularity. It became my favorite during the visit to NYC.
