You know a bagel spot in New York is good when there's always a line and even a police car parked outside. We grabbed a dozen bagels to go, and they looked incredibly fresh. The location is super convenient since it's right across from the LIRR station, making it the perfect place to pick up breakfast or a quick snack on the go. If you're passing through the area, it's definitely worth the stop! read more

I ordered the number one breakfast special. I was very disappointed, first of all it took way too long to prepare almost 15minutes and it wasn't even busy. There were exactly 2 people ordering coffee and bagels.Secondly the hash browns were terrible! I've never seen hash browns prepared so poorly. I also found a small piece of string in there.That turned me off completely. I'm giving 2 stars for the bagels. They were excellent. Since I was standing for so long I got a chance to watch the bagel guy pick up a bagel from the basket put it to his nose and sniff it then throw it back in, gross! That's why you don't want people standing around too long. read more

I order from this place all the time. Love the bagels, duh thats what they are known for haha. Fresh and generous with the filling you choose. Even with coffee, they offer the huge cups and its the best for a long day at work. Their blueberry muffins are huge but not enough blueberries, maybe it was an unlucky one. They have sandwiches too and they have always been fresh and tastey. Great spot for sandwiches as they are pretty big and decent priced. The place always has a line during high times, so you can order online and pick up. Delivery can take pretty long as they use their own drivers and not through the food ordering apps. The place can be overwhelming when it get busy and you have people all over the place and loud. Gotta know what you want and order it, but the staff there are friendly. A must try for everyone in the neighborhood and better than the other places in the area. One of my go to spots for breakfast for sure. read more

Ended up being the best bagel for me on my last trip to NY. Didn't look like anything special, but the absolutely fantastic chew on the bagels was so so satisfyingly good... Loved the Lox Package, with nice salty flavors. But just eating the simpler Everything bagel with the cucumber dill cream cheese was such a pleasure with the firm chews. Cream cheese are so smooth and the cucumber dill ended up being the best companion with the bagel. Wow, def will be hitting this place up again next time in NY, it was simply the best made bagel I've ever had. read more

Baker's Dozen Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Kew Gardens, New York

We're visiting NY and was looking for a place to meet up with friends and have good coffee and breakfast nearby. We found Baker's Dozen and of course parking was by paid meters. We managed to find parking, however, we got inside and discovered there was limited seating and small but their menu is pretty extensive and everything looks delicious!! The people serving are friendly and helpful and the line was long but it moved quickly. We managed to get 4 seats and was able to eat quickly. I got the Bagel with lox and avocado that was fully loaded and delicious. Everyone in my group loved what they ordered. If I have an opportunity to go back there I would love to try their other options. I recommend this place because their food is fresh, delicious and their huge selection. read more

Quality went down over the years. I came here a few days ago and the chef was vaping in the kitchen while making people's food. Then I come back another day and there were hair stands baked into the top of my bagel. read more

If you're in the Kew Gardens area of queens, stop by bakers dozen and grab some freshly made bagels in house! A long time visitor to this shop whenever I am in the area and it's a neighborhood gem. Go early to avoid long lines but well worth the wait. I tries there the strawberry cream cheese spread recently and it was amazing. Go check it out and thank me later read more

I ordered a sandwich and to my surprise it was different from past orders. The meat was far less than what I was used to receiving in the past. I brought this to their attention and they gave me no satisfaction. He said it was measured. I said it has been reduced. He blew me off. They lost me, along with the annual revenue I provided to them. I used them for years and I know the difference. And so does he. read more

I'm typically a fan of Baker's dozen, they have the best bagels in the area my opinion, but this in my sandwich is unacceptable. Second time, I get rotten avocado along with the (not to be consumed) end of the skin. It's not hard to see that it is clearly not green anymore, but whoever made this, didn't care. read more

Number one in kew gardens been there since i grew up here and is still standing and operating. Love this place def will recommend

Check this place out. The bagels, cream cheese flavors, coffee, and muffins are always fresh. I came in this morning at around 8:15am. There were two people in front of me. I didn't wait long for the person to take my order. I had an iced French vanilla iced coffee and a still warm pistachio muffin. The pistachio muffin is over sized and my favorite. The price is right and there is street parking. If you haven't tried them yet, you're missing out. read more

Never have I ever had a better bagel in Nyc than at Bakers Dozen. They've got the boiler right behind the register so you know that stuff is as fresh as can be. Sometimes I go out of my way to grab a meal here - Instead of taking the LIRR to Manhattan from nearby Jamaica, I don't mind waiting for a train at Kew Gardens if it means I get to do it with an egg everything with cream cheese in my hand. And if that weren't good enough, the coffee is incredibly solid as well. I have never had a bag experience at Bakers Dozen and mouth watering thinking about the next time I'll be in the area. read more

We were visiting from LA our sister in law in Queens. Bagels were incredible! I got the whole wheat everything toasted, open faced with veggie cream cheese, onion and tomatoes. 10 out of 10! Just awesome! read more

O MY GOD THIS IS THE BEST BREAKFAST BAGEL IVE EVER HAD. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel. The bagel was perfect baked,it was very soft and moist. The eggs were perfectly cooked and the bacon was amazing. It wasn't overly greasy. I can't stop thinking about this breakfast sandwich. I can't wait to go back. The staff was friendly and the line moved pretty quickly. You wait in line and take your order with one of the staff at the counter. And then when your order is complete you pay at the register read more

Baker's Dozen Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Kew Gardens, New York

In my opinion, the best bagels in the city. They are much more affordable than Manhattan bagels, are consistently delicious and the staff is friendly. This is THE bagel place to go to in Kew Gardens and even if you're in Forest Hills. There's a reason the line goes down the street on weekends and early in the AM. Great sandwiches for lunch as well. The menu is extensive, not only to "create your own bagels" but also in spread and salad options. The tuna and chicken salad are also delicious. Bagels with cream cheese and lox here never disappoint. My favorite bagel shop in New York! Fresh and fluffy bagels. Generous filling. I recommend getting the bagels toasted if you plan to eat them right away. read more

This place was referred by a close friend who lives in the neighborhood. I come from Hoboken to enjoy their perfect fresh bagel! They are large in size, and when they are fresh out of the oven - the best thing to enjoy on a weekend morning! Whether it be with butter or cream cheese, with a nice cup of their coffee - it is a great start to your day! Then there are the muffins; whether it is the mini or full-size versions - heavenly. If you get the chance - go there! You will often see various EMS/Fire/PD there - that is also a sign of great food! Not to mention - everyone who works there are awesome! read more

Cute spot. Never too long of a wait and good service - they always get it right. Lots lots lotsss of options and yummy!! read more

I love this bagel place. Great tasting sandwiches with generous fillings and made quickly and efficiently. Service is always friendly.

These guys are serious about bagels and good-humored about customer relations. Feels like old New York inside. Plus they know the value of cash and give you a discount when you use it! An everything egg bagel with lox, cream cheese and onion for me, please! read more

Excellent service and world class food. Offers free delivery and free lunch sandwich after 10 purchases.

Warm fresh Queens bagels. I feel like I can end it there! You get what your looking for here. Solid NYC bagels with the perfect balance of fresh quality cream cheese that's not merely a "Shemear", but also not over done. Place looked clean, and service was good. Simple. read more

The food is amazing but the ambiance always gets me. They always have the best old skool 90s/2000s rock playing in the background lol. We love a delicious bagel and some Panic at the Disco! Helloooo. The service is fast, they're kind, and they listen to your requests. My go to is the sausage egg and cheddar cheese on an egg bagel w/ SPK. Delicious! read more

Long wait but worth it. Wish I had known to order online while waiting. Huge menu and the two bagels we got were well done, the Taylor ham/egg/cheese and the Gotham city. Staff is super friendly. Great neighborhood spot read more

Great bagels local neighborhood shop...get there early the line is pretty long for sandwiches however, if you just want dry bagels you can just go straight to the counter and ask the staff person instead of standing in line. read more

I stayed with family in Kew Gardens for a week and had a bagel for breakfast here every single day. Seriously. It's THAT good. There is always a line, but it moves very fast and the staff are respectful as well as efficient. They called us "ma'am" or "sir", smiled and made eye contact while taking our order, and engaged in enjoyable banter with regulars. Behind the counter is their comprehensive menu (including customizable sandwich options), while beside it is a showcase of the morning's fresh baked goods. My favorite was the bright green pistachio muffin that looked like a mushroom ballooning out of its cupcake shell and tasted of that fragrant, artificial pistachio flavor. Prices are very reasonable, but know that if you order a mini bagel with extra toppings, you will be charged the same price as a regular-sized bagel. So unless you only want a butter or cream cheese shmear, go big!! I'm not sure what it is about the bagels here that tasted so good: the perfect mix of soft and chewy? The wholesome ingredients? Whatever it was, these bites made my morning. Even untoasted, the bagels were decadent, and the meats and veggies were cold and fresh. Last note about their homemade apple cinnamon cream cheese: absolute ~heaven~! Sweetly rich and creamy but not too heavy, spiced just right, and the second half that I saved for lunch tasted just as delicious as the first. read more

Kew Gardens spot for bagels as you can tell by the long line of customers outside in the mornings. As it's by the LIRR train station you get all the commuter business as well. Good bagels soft on the inside crispy on the outside. Go for the traditional BEC. bacon egg and cheese on your choice of a bagel. Sesame for me. Line moves fast and you'll have your bagel and coffee order for the day. read more

The bagels and their  cream cheeses  are really  great. Recently I can't get the breakfast though, because the morning crew is extremely slow. No bagel is worth missing the train because of 25 minutes wait during  work week  It is almost  like they slow it down purposely. Lunch is fine though, things speed up. I hope they improve morning routine o I can come back to this place. read more

I love me bagel with scallion cream cheese and lox every so often. The bagel was perfectly baked, not too chewy and very fresh! Usually, I have to take out some of the cheese as it is usually too much. I ordered my bagel here yesterday. It had the perfect proportion between cream cheese and lox. A bagel made to perfection. read more

Holy smokes is this the spot. Now I'm not a bagel expert but I will say- this place makes a DAMN good bagel sandwich. Came here the other morning after a long evening and maybe went a little overboard but I'm glad I did. We ordered home fries, the lox bagel, a poppyseed with the lox cream cheese, and two everything bagels with eggs and added cheddar cheese, ham, sausage, and tomato. I will say it's not fancy, the cheddar cheese is more likely American, the home fries definitely needed a little salt but all together? A gift from god. Those sandwiches were so. Damn. Good. The lox cream cheese has actual large pieces of smoked salmon instead of the barely visible flakes you get from most places. The lox bagel was PILED with smoked salmon and their scallion cream cheese was pungent and delicious. Also for the price? Ya can't beat it. Now go out there and make your own bagel sandwich at this place (they've got a lot more add on options than I listed) or get what look like some damn good sandwiches. You deserve it. read more

Absolute best bagels in the world. We drive 1.5 hours from Connecticut to get them about once a month. They freeze well. I take them with me to Florida every year. read more

This place was good! I called ahead to order my breakfast. There was a long wait and they still made me wait in line, but by the time I got my food, it was still incredible! I'd highly recommend this spot. And if I am in the neighborhood again, I'll definitely order from here again. read more

I was in the area for some city public duty and decided to try this bagel spot. They have a lot of variety so I tried the everything bagel with butter. Being a Brooklyn person, the everything bagel did not meet expectations and was lacking a bit of kick and flavor that an everything bagel has. There is no seating except by the window on a stool. Street parking only, mostly meter unless you go on side streets. Credit card minimum is $5. read more

First time trying this place out; I ordered delivery on a Thursday morning. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a bialy, a 32oz hazelnut iced coffee, and a side of homefries. They also included two mini muffins, cranberry and pistachio (my favorite!) with my order! The home fries were well cooked with good browning on them, and the BEC was hot and tasty! I firmly appreciate the massive coffee size available, and for less than $4! The pistachio muffin was moist and delicious and I would definitely order it next time. Will definitely be back to sample more of the menu! read more

Food is good but the PRICES... robbery. I ordered a breakfast wrap with eggs and meet. ALMOST $14!!! Didn't even come with coffee. Later on in the day, I went to another place for lunch. For $12, i received a chicken hero and a Snapple!!!! Over a dollar less than my breakfast! I'm definitly not a cheap guy . It's the principle read more

Only the best bagel in the neighborhood. Always has a long line of devoted patrons. Bagels are made on the premises right where you can see. I visited here about 3 weeks ago to get my monthly bagel fix and I was a little bit disappointed on the slow service I guess a lot of new employees not the regular guys I would see when I used to visit. read more
