    Long overdue bagel fix. I finally gave Black Seed Bagel a try after walking past it countless times and always seeing a crowd. Figured it had to be decent. Cozy little spot clean, bright, and well-kept. I went with a build your own: plain cream cheese, avocado, and tomato on a bagel. Visually, it looked solid. But I had asked for it toasted and what I got was just...warm. Any New Yorker will tell you there's a very clear line between the two. Taste wise? It was ok. Nothing memorable. The cream cheese was light (maybe too light), and while I appreciated the thin slices of avocado and tomato, they slid out with every bite. A little annoying, but manageable with a mountain of napkins. Would I go back? Maybe. But I'm not rushing.

    PASTRAMI, EGG & CHEESE
    Eunice C.

    After passing by and seeing long lines in the morning, I decided to stop in when it was less busy. I got the pastrami egg and cheese and it was a scrumptious blend of melted cheese, egg, and well seasoned beef. It was heartier than bacon, which made it more satisfying. Paired with an everything bagel, the flavors were zinging left and right. The bagel itself was nice and toasted but soft to the bite. The space is somewhat small. Seats were along the wall, only meant for a quick grab and go. I'd come back again on a not so busy day.

    BLACK SEED BLT

    Walked in for a quick brunch, decided on trying the black seed BLT and after, liked it so much bought 4 everything bagels to take home along with some cream cheese spread and lox and dill. The cashier was super helpful, and friendly! He made sure to double check my order and assisted me throughout. There is a small counter on the left side when you walk in with bar stools- def more of a place where you get your food and go but if you had some time to kill like me, I ate my blt, enjoyed the music, the coffee machine going off in the back and read a book. Staff seems to be super friendly and food was ready quickly. Would def come back for a bagel craving.

    It's my go-to bagel spot in williamsburg (especially for the breakfast bagels) - fast service, friendly staff and tasty bagels there is some seating inside

    Love Black Seed Bagel. We are often in the area during breakfast on Thursdays. The bagels are always fresh and their lox dill cream cheese is my absolute favorite. Service is always fast. Very cute ambiance but not much seating inside - a few tables out front. Coffee is decent. 5 stars for consistency.

    THE BEC

    I've been wanting to go to a black seed bagel location for the longest time. I'm completely happy everything was as I expected it to be. Bagels were incredibly fresh saw the baker take em out as I was coming in. Ingredients as well were fresh, the person that took my order was very friendly even told me to have a beautiful day lol. Was a bit difficult to grab a seat but with the music playing and everyone just having a good time it was well worth it. Definitely recommend going and checking this place out whether you're from the neighborhood or not t

    Stopped by here for a quick breakfast on the way to a friends place after being on the train all morning. Cute little spot for a quick bite and coffee. The staff greeted us on the way in and service was quick and friendly. The prices is where I dinged some points. I know New York and especially a cafe can be pricey but it would be nice if the price matched the portion sizes. We got a lox bagel on pumpernickle and I felt like the smoked salmon was so thin and only 2 slices with majority of the sandwich being onions and cream cheese. I don't know if I would stop by here again having left not feeling satisfied.

    Delicious bagels and coffee and friendly service. There are a couple chairs for seating inside and 4 tables and chairs covered by umbrellas for outdoor dog-friendly seating.

    THE BRICK LANE

    I love pastrami and I love pickles, so to have a bagel sammy that has BOTH is rare in my area back home. I'm glad I got to try this on my last day of my visit. Plus, that pumpernickel everything bagel is also rare in my area so it was a treat to try! The aesthetic is totally my vibe btw. Quick service. And great, unique options. I'd come back!

    TLDR: Decent fire roasted bagels. Skimpy on the toppings for a $15+ bagel sandwich. Vibe: 3/5. We decided to pop by their Williamsburg location in the early morning on the 4th of July for a quick breakfast. They had just opened, so no one was there but the staff. Inside is your typical fast casual ordering layout. A main counter, open air kitchen and prep area and several standup counters where you can stand and eat. Unfortunately, there is no public restroom (even for paying customers). Service: 3/5. As mentioned above, no one except the staff was present at Black Seed during our visit, so it was to be expected that service would be quick and efficient. When ordering, the staff member that was manning the register had the quietest voice known to man. We had to ask on several occasions for him to repeat himself, with each time not being any louder then the previous. A bit frustrating to say the least. Fortunately, our order came out relatively quickly and correct. Food: 3/5. Tasty bagel, just wish it had more sustenance for the price paid. We went with the Classic 2.0, which contains pastrami spiced salmon lox, scallion cream cheese, pickled green tomato and red onion. The flavor combo of the lox and pickled tomato works nicely, especially with our choice of a pumpernickel everything bagel. The lox was delicious, however the extremely skimpy potion of 1 piece was a bit of a letdown. For the price of $15, I was hoping for a bit more.

    THE BOCA
    Maggie T.

    Black Seed can be hit or miss for me, but I think 3.5/5 is a fair rating. Today I ordered the BOCA (which comes with fried eggs, cheddar, avocado and tomato) on a toasted sesame bagel. It was fine, although nothing extraordinary. It didn't seem like my bagel had been toasted at all though, which was a little disappointing. The shop itself is pretty cute and the ordering/pick-up process was efficient. The staff are always friendly. Overall, the bagels aren't bad, they're just nothing special. I've had better in Williamsburg.

    TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

There were drinks -- coffee, hot chocolate, and something fruity. They also brought us corn chips and a bean dipping sauce to start -- YUM! I really liked the hot green sauce that accompanied the meal, too. This is a great find!

The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
