    Cinnamon Raisin Bagel
    Yurim Y.

    Not my favorite bagel. It's wood fired which probably means high heat quick bake. I find most wood fired bagels are not my cup of tea cuz it leads to a chewy but low density and not a fluffy bagel. Wood fire is great for pizza but not necessary for bagels. The flavor is nice though. Got the Everything and Cinnamon Raisin bagel, no cream cheese. Texture is chewy but not soft or fluffy. It's too low and a bit too chewy inside. The flavor of topping and raisin to cinnamon ratio is nice but not enough to offset a lack of great inside dough texture. These bagels are great for sandwiches cuz it will hold well to the sandwich fillings but not as true bagel. Even with smear it will be fine. But I'm looking for an amazing fundamentals of a bagel first and not off set it with accompaniments.

    the bagel was supposed to be toasted but they gave it to me and it was cold like it was sitting out

    TURKEY AVOCADO
    Lindsay C.

    Got the turkey avocado from the location inside Chelsea Market. A bit expensive for a bagel sandwich, but I suppose all the stores in the Market are that way. I loved that the bagel was seasoned on both sides and thought this was a really enjoyable sandwich. Good quality avocado, good amount of meat, not too tough bagel. Didn't change my life or anything, but a good time nonetheless.

    Fresh and delicious. Highly recommend if you want a New York Bagel in the Chelsie Market. Perfect to grab and go.

    Wow didn't expect Black Seed Bagels to have such a low average rating! My siblings and I came here on a rainy morning and I got the lox cream cheese bagel on a multigrain everything bagel and my brother got the ham, egg, and cheese everything bagel. Honestly we both enjoyed it, it was very filling, but it is definitely on the pricier side. The service was quite fast considering the long line up and they give you buzzers to help you know when your order has been prepared.

    TURKEY, EGG & CHEESE THE BEC
    Jenny C.

    I was at Chelsea market the other day and decided to stop at black seed bagel for a quick breakfast. They are my friend's favorite bagel spot so I really wanted to try it for myself. We ordered the BEC (bacon egg and cheddar) and the turkey egg and cheese, both on everything bagels. The bagels were soft but maintained a nice chewy bite and not dense at all (which is a big determining factor for me). The eggs were well made and the respective proteins gave everything a lot of flavor. Overall, the bagels were great. Only downsize is that they are pretty pricey. Bagel sandwiches cost $8-$13. The servers were nice. I heard one singing in the back which is always nice to see. Seems like they enjoy their workspace.

    THE SALMON CLASSIC
    Julia K.

    Great Bagels for a quick lunch break if you are in the neighborhood. I really enjoy my Pastrami Reuben Bagel. The salmon classic had a bit too much cream cheese on it. Busy but didn't have to wait too long. Service is friendly and quick. Great spots for sitting outside on a sunny day!

    Holy crap the legend is true. First time in Manhattan and we decided to go to Chelsea Marketplace based on a recommendation. Growing up in Indiana and loving most of my life in Florida I had heard about the fabled 'New York Bagel' and attributed it to urban legend and fancy marketing. Black Seed Bagel was all I needed to become a believer. There really is a difference. I can't eat another soft, lifeless bagel no matter how good the lox is.....curse you bagel masters!! Seriously this is an amazing place for a bagel. I went to two others in the city but they were not nearly as good. Can't say enough. Just go and you too will be blown away.

    Everything Bagel

    This was without a doubt the worst bagel experience I've had in my life. They didn't include the bacon, burnt the bagel in the toaster when I asked for it not toasted, and they cut the bagel in the worst way possible. Completely unacceptable way to serve someone.

    Pumpernickel Bagel w/ Truffle Cream Cheese
    Ruby C.

    * Pumpernickel Bagel w/ Truffle Cream Cheese I ordered pumpernickel bc the dark brown color paired perfectly with the generous truffle spread. The spread was creamy, fragrant and flavorful. $6.48 after tax. It is def on the pricey side - their bagel sizes are much smaller comparing to other shops, and probably the luxurious truffle spread charges higher. Not the best bagel in town, yet it is still worth a try if you love truffle as I do.

    Alicia S.

    My first New York Bagel! I was completely overwhelmed by all the choices. The menu had such tasty options, I wanted one of everything! I decided on something basic; an everything bagel and plain cream cheese! Counter guy was so nice, patient and very helpful!

    Multigrain everything with SCALLION CREAM CHEESE

    Enjoyed my bagel, which was light but substantial--perfect for breakfast when you don't want a heavy meal. Great service too!

    Everything Bagel SCALLION TOFU CREAM CHEESE SINGLE BAGEL
    Wali G.

    Friendly and fast service! I recommend trying the everything bagel with the scallion tofu cream cheese. Yum!

    It's a bagel, and it's salty. I'm not sure how a bagel shop would earn a five star, but if anyone deserves it, this one should be up there

I ordered a toasted gluten free bagel with cream cheese and what I got was cold and pale. I took a bite and it was disgusting. Many gluten free bread products need to be toasted to be edible which is why I always get them toasted. My receipt said toasted. The bagel was pale and cold. And falling apart. A different bagel store refused to sell their gluten free bagels untoasted. At least they didn't give me food that I couldn't eat. I will not be going back to NYCB&CH anytime soon because that experience left a bad taste in my mouth...literally. But if I do I will make sure to check my bagel before I go.

The service was very friendly, the food was even more so. I was absolutely blown away with the amount of fresh, hand-made cream cheese / butter / spread selections - some of the ones that were available when I came were: Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter, Garlic Parsley Butter, Walnut Raisin Cream Cheese, Strawberry Cream Cheese, Cinnamon Roll Cream Cheese, Olive Cream Cheese, Nutella Chip Cream Cheese, Lemon Poppy Cream Cheese, Jalapeno Cheddar Cream Cheese, Garlic Herb Cream Cheese, Bacon Cheddar, Chili Crisp, Basil Pesto... I mean seriously the options are ENDLESS. Sweet, salty, savory, you name it. I will admit, it's a bit overwhelming because you want to try it all especially because they're all beautifully displayed. Even after you pick the spread, you still have to choose from one of the many different bagel options too so.. that's the hard part - making choices! There is seating available both in and outside. It's within a great walking distance and easily visible / accessible. Love, love, love!! I'm not from NYC, I was visiting so I will be missing this place whole heartedly - until next time!

We decided to…read moretry out Best Bagel & Coffee after looking up recommendations online. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - We actually placed an online order prior to walking over as we were afraid of long lines and waiting. When we got there, although there was a line, it looked like it was moving fairly quick! Still, our order was ready for us at the pick-up station so we walked in and found a corner spot. It's pretty snug inside, and although there are a few tables and some standing areas, most people got their food and left. There are also some tables outside if you're lucky to snag one! - FOOD - Salmon on Everything Bagel: Nicely toasted bagel, yet still has a nice chew on the inside. Huge portion of Salmon! I wish I could've tried a flavored cream cheese, but didn't want too many flavors mixing at once.
