lol everything bagel toasted with butter please
Allison D.

I recently read that Bergen Bagel was number 1 in Brooklyn for 2024, I wouldn't go that far but it is reliable and typically delicious. I am grateful for the vegan options they have and I always get a toasted whole wheat everything with tofu cream cheese. Note that they do have other flavors of vegan cream cheese and many many spread varieties. My partner has tried the French toast bagel and doesn't recommend it, he relies on the buttery everything bagel at this point. Service is fast, the place is clean and efficient. I'll always keep this bagel joint in my rolodex.

So many cream cheese types!
Attosa C.

I kinda LOVE this place. It's real close to my boyfriends place so it was just kinda the easy place to go to get bagels. However, it's just ended up being my favourite place for bagels. Everything bagel is my fave! The employees are AWESOMELY friendly and the service is quick. In, out, yum; just how I love it! 5 stars

Whole wheat everything bagel with tomato, onion lox and cream cheese
Sam A.

I went to Bergen Bagels last weekend, as I was walking in the area and was craving a bagel. I don't normally get a lox sandwich (and opt for the spread instead), but decided to treat myself. Pros: -fast and friendly service -very fresh lox! -huge bagel and nice portions of toppings -the bagel itself was fresh and yummy -not too crowded - I liked that this place wasn't a "trendy" bagel shop that attracts too many people Cons: -expensive! The bagel itself was pretty cheap (and cheaper than other spots around) and I didn't see this sandwich listed, so wasn't sure what the price would be. Was a bit surprised when it was $17 (if I recall correctly) If I were in the area I'd definitely go back! And maybe just for for a simpler bagel to save a few $.

There's a short brown skin employee that's very rude. For example, I asked for an iced coffee while waiting for my omelette. He never acknowledged that he heard me. I asked again and he became a little snappy with me saying "it's right there" pointing to the drink on the side of the register. Why would you....never mind So anyway, I ordered the Greek omelette. It taste like the cook just didn't feel like shaking the salt sparingly, instead just said F it and poured the whole bottle. Omg wayyy to salty -he probably used too much feta cheese. I've been here a few times and never had this experience before. I'm willing to give them another shot. Normally, I'll have a bagel and tea or coffee. No pic of the omelette since it went straight in the garbage after the first bite.

Healthy Man with bacon
Stephanie L.

I love the Bergen Bagel location off of Flatbush Ave, but this one didn't wow me as much. I got the Healthy Man: 2 eggs over easy with avocado, salt and pepper on whole wheat toast and added bacon. Admittedly I should have gotten the BAGEL because it is called Bergen BAGEL, but I thought if they are offering whole wheat toast on the menu, it should be equally as tasty. The fillings were good, no complaints. But the bread was pretty terrible. It was dense, tasted like rye and not appetizing. I would come back for the convenience, but will stick to the bagels.

Everything bagel with regular cream cheese
Amanda T.

The bagels are super affordable to make up for the pricey SHMEAR and add-ons, which were 100% worth it. This is a NY bagel staple! I appreciated the insane amount of cream cheese they provided. These bagels can definitely be split if you're not starving!

Scallion Cream Cheese Sandwich
Tiffany G.

I woke up one morning craving bagels so I took a 15 minute walk over here--big mistake! I ordered a scallion bagel sandwich and an iced coffee. First off, the iced coffee was super gross. It was so sour. What do they use? Instant coffee?! Save your $3. McDonald's makes better coffee for less. As for the bagel, it wasn't bad, but nothing special. Also $5 min for credit cards.

Jenn M.

The ice coffee I got here while visiting a friend was really good. Usually when i get ice coffee i had to add things in it to make it how i i like it. But not this time which was a first for me. There is seating inside and outside for these summer days coming up.

Everything bagel missing the everything...where are the toppings? Do better Bergen!
L R.

Someone please tell me how this place remains open with such lackluster bagels? Come on guys, you can do better! The bagels are hunks of dough with very little flavor. Look at the pic of this everything bagel - everything on that? I don't think so. That thing is bare. Bagels should be covered in whatever the topping is supposed to be and yet Bergen can't figure out how to do that. Also - sandwiches are mad expensive and underwhelming. I suggest going to any deli on the block and getting something better

I typically come in here only when I'm the area. The establishment is always clean and opens early…read moream 5am which is a such a plus if you work extremely early in the morning. As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

We wanted to try something different after having explored so many of the typical places in Manhattan and Shelsky's came highly recommended While I was expecting a long wait on a Saturday mid-morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find the establishment with only a few in line before us. Now, I was desperately seeking a very simple belly lox with schmear, but much to my dismay, they didn't have any more belly lox. I was heartbroken and had to figure out a plan B While I pondered, the family quickly ordered a Peter Shelsky, a Great Gatsby, and a Fancy Pants. I crumbled in my panic and jumped in with another Peter Shelsky. We also tried a small amount of whitefish salad and a beet/thyme salad The service was quick and we were able to grab two of the three small tables at the front to enjoy our fare. Soon we were digging in and from the immediate silence, I could tell everyone was enjoying their choices. The bagels were on the smaller side, denser with a firm crust. We did enjoy the bagels, but I could see how someone not familiar with this style may find them too "cardboard-y" I have to say, the pickled herring on the Peter Shelsky was fantastic, but was way too overpowering for the nova and sable. I actually regretted my choice and would order something more sunken next time. (Or get to the store earlier to beat the rush for the darn belly lox!) The beet salad was quite a nice balance to for the bagels adding a bit of brightness. The whitefish salad was solid - a hint of smoke and a creamy puree. Some who prefer a chunkier whitefish salad might find this less than satisfactory, but the flavors were great A cure store, friendly and patient staff, a great first exposure to Brooklyn for the boys. We'll be back (and we want belly lox!!)

The classic salmon lox is always amazing, and the Phcall with Norwegian salmon was delightful. The food is honestly what keeps me coming back. The space is small and almost always crowded, so the ambiance is more busy and fast-paced than relaxed. It can be hard to move around inside, and they go through tickets so quickly that it's easy to miss your order if they can't find you. I'm not really complaining because that's part of the rush, but it can feel a little chaotic. My last visit was a bit below par. My ticket got skipped, and while another employee helped me, he seemed rushed and didn't fully understand my order before making it. I had to correct the spread and missed the capers I originally ordered. Regardless, the bagels were still amazing.

It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say.
