After hearing so many great things about Bongiorno Bagels, I finally gave it a try, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We ordered the New Yorker sandwich and the Fireman sandwich. The New Yorker was packed with tender, flavorful corned beef, and the marble rye paired perfectly with the melted provolone. The Fireman was just as impressive--the lox was fresh, the scallion cream cheese added the perfect amount of flavor, and the everything bagel had a great balance of crunch on the outside and chewiness on the inside. There was a long line and a bit of a wait but it was completely worth it. I can definitely see why this place is so popular, and I'll be back to try more of the menu. read more

Ugh I really hate having to keep writing semi negative reviews but today I am so sad about my order. I ordered the medic breakfast sandwich on a jalapeno check bagel that should come with Taylor's ham which is so so yummy.. I got home today to start eating my sandwich and there is no Taylor's ham on it at all... I'm extremely frustrated and disappointed given the bagel sandwich is $17 with my add ons... next time I go in I will be asking for atleast a discount because this is so unacceptable. Now I'm just stuck eat a bagel sandwich with no meat protein as d the Taylor ham is one of my favorite parts.. :( As always staff is very lovely and place is very busy but please double check ordered before just giving them out.. especially when you charge the prices you do.. :( read more

I think I found my new bagel spot! I've heard great things about this place from different people, and finally got the chance to check it out. They serve great New York style bagels and sandwiches. We came on a Saturday (4th of July, in fact) around 11 am and I was expecting the line to be out the door. To our surprise, there wasn't much of a line! It was fairly crowded inside with people waiting for their orders, but once we ordered we only waited about 10-15 min. I love lox bagels, so I opted for The Fireman and ordered it open faced. It was absolutely delicious. The bagel sandwich had a good amount of salmon and was very filling. We also tried the New Yorker, which was a pastrami sandwich and it was delicious and packed with meat! Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the search for a new bagel/sandwich place. read more

Anyone looking to bring these bagels home to another state (like me in CA) or just home in AZ....they travel well! I put them in my carry on in a ziploc and had no issues. As long as you freeze them fresh (same day) you are golden! I brought these home (a lot of them lol) like 3 weeks ago and we are still enjoying them! Pull them out the night before to thaw out in the fridge or you can wrap in foil completely and put in air fryer on bake at 325° (from frozen) for like 10 mins or so....enough time to be able to cut open. Toast them and enjoy with whatever you like :-p they are just like having them freshly baked! Service is GREAT! Everyone is so nice! We love to support family owned businesses and esp those that are friendly, hard working, and deeelicious! The bagel shop is small and clean. A few tables outside and a small bar/counter right to left as you walk in. Everything we've tried is yummy! Can't go wrong! Thank you to all the workers here (sorry I don't know everyone's name)....esp Sam, John, Lenny, Leo, and Emma!!!!!! With love from California! Congrats to the NY Knicks on an incredible win! read more

This is one of our go-to neighborhood spots, and for good reason! We visit often and everything is always fresh, delicious, and perfectly baked. The bread quality is outstanding, and everything we've tried has been consistently tasty. The service is always friendly and efficient, even when they're busy--which is pretty much all the time! My biggest tip: order ahead for pickup because this place is always packed. It's clearly a local favorite, and once you try it, you'll understand why. Great food, great service, and definitely worth planning ahead for. We'll keep coming back! read more

Yup...another stop for bagels at our favorite spot in the valley! True New York style bagels and some of the best ice tea we've had. Got the usual, 1/2 dozen of delicious bagels (sesame, plain, and blueberry) along with their fantastic cream cheeses (plain and lox) to enjoy at home over the next few days! See you again soon! read more

LOVE! They didn't skimp on anything. It's hard to find a good nova lox where they give you proper portions! The bagel tasted so fresh and good too. Perfect amount of cream cheese and salmon. Very happy with my order and I would try the rest of their menu when I can. Also it is prettyyyy busy so I would recommend putting in a takeout order unless youre okay waiting. read more

Place was packed! We both ordered the Fireman (essentially a dressed up Lox bagel). Bagel itself was definitely the best I've had in the greater Phoenix area.

I stopped in here randomly and this spot was packed! I didn't wait in line long or wait for my bagel long. I got the jalapeno bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. It was the best bagel I have ever had. I wish they had a location in queen creek. Can't wait to go back. read more

Order at counter. Clean & small interior, not a lot of seating. Bagel was good. Chewy, nice crunchy onions on top, on the small side which I'm fine with. Cream cheese was plentiful. But... Lox left something to be desired. $10.99 was a good price for a bagel & lox nosh which, for me would've required a good briny lox, thinly sliced. Instead it tasted like the 'lox' you buy at a grocery chain. Also there were no paper thin red onions, cracked black pepper, smattering of capers or lemon wedge? All of which wouldve elevated the bagel & I wouldve paid more for. Ultimately, I wish I would have ordered just the bagel & cream cheese. I love New York, my daughter has lived in Brooklyn for decades & my best friend is from there so I've eaten alot of authentic bagels & spent entire summers enjoying the city. Don't want to harsh on this bagel place, just wished I would've ordered something else. read more

I was craving g a New York bagel for the last couple weeks and was recommended to this place. This place was absolutely packed and rightfully so! The people working were quick and efficient with the hectic crowd growing they stayed calm and worked together very well. There is New York firefighter, and sports memorabilia on the walls the paint was beautifully done. The bagel was about nine bucks which compared to what in the city that's a good price with what I got. My sandwich was full of meat and cream cheese they definitely didn't skimp out on the filling. The bagel its self had a crunchy outer shell that had the best bite. read more

Let me start by saying that the quality of my sandwich was top notch and definitely something I would come back for! That aside, it was a little pricey in my opinion ($$14 for just a bagel sandwich). The inside was clean and inviting, but there isn't much of anywhere to sit, with the exception of two tables outside and an inside bar looking out that had five bar stool seats. The gentleman who took my order made a great suggestion when I said generally what I was wanting, and then customized it to my desire without being pushy. read more

We finally tried a lunch sandwich here and oh man was it outstanding! We got the Bongiorno which is a chicken cutlet, prosciutto, mozzarella cheese and pesto on a sesame bagel. We changed the bagel to everything bagel and I am so glad we did. Their everything bagel has kosher salt on it and it added another level of flavor. This sandwich was HUGE.. I split it with my son and we both barely finished our half. Not to mention he had ordered a bagel with cream cheese, and he gave me half of that. I couldn't eat it and took it home. He couldn't finish his half of that either. We also got two coffee cakes, one regular and one raspberry. Oh my! You must try the coffeecake! We have been ordering it for years but its always amazing and fresh. I have literally never had a bad item here. There is a reason all these content creators are visiting this place and reviewing it. Its THAT good. read more

I really really wanted to love this place, but it just fell short on so many levels. It seems I always see so many suggestions for this spot which made me want to go even more. It was a rainy morning and we decided to pop in & split the "Morning Medic" bagel sandwich. It comes standard on a Kaiser roll, but since they were out, we decided on the everything bagel. Which they say all bagels are made in house. The sandwich itself looked so good! The portion size was very fair and had a good amount of meat and egg. Upon that first bite, it hit me. It was so incredibly salty it was almost inedible. Unfortunately for us, we were eating on the road, otherwise I would've asked to have it remade. The sandwich also comes standard with a sriracha like sauce and just was not it. It made me feel like I was supposed to be eating a hearty Asian meal. Needless to say, we didn't finish the sandwich as the saltiness was just too overpowering. The service however was good and the prices are very reasonable. If I'm in the area, I will certainly give them another chance, but they've got a lot of making up to do. read more

Bongiorno bagels is clearly a popular spot. I've been here about five times or more on different times and days of the week and there is always a line out the door! There is a lot of hustle and bustle to get everyone's orders out and timely manner. It seems to be organized efficiently and I haven't had to wait long anytime I've been. The bagels have a nice chewiness to them and taste like a real New York bagel. There's always a good selection of shmear and usually a seasonal flavor to try if you are daring. I highly recommend overall for a top-tier bagel. I've had a few of the bagel sandwiches as well and they are pretty good, but not my go-to spot if that's what I'm feeling. Bongiorno is the place to pick up a half dozen bagels for your friends and family. read more

What a bagel!! Along with my everything bagel being delicious, they had a special vanilla bourbon bacon onion cream cheese (I hope I didn't miss an ingredient) that was SUPERB! And they gave a generous amount of cream cheese on my bagel. Bongiornos may be known for their bagels, but I noticed they had coffee cake as well and the thick topping part of the coffee cake was calling my name - yes the sugar part! It was one of the best coffee cakes I have had. Service was fairly quick- but they had great staff working. Lots of people were coming in for phone orders as well so it was bustling. They have a couple of tables and chairs outside but most people were getting it to go. There is a parking lot that is shared with other businesses. read more

This place is OK. I just came back from 8 days in NY and had bagels 6 of the 8 days.. I purposely went to every random bagel place I saw. Every bagel I had there was way better than this place. First off where is the hole? They are hard and very tough. I don't understand the line out the door? 8 bagels and a 1/4lb cream cheese was $20+. $2.50 per bagel that I have to cut and cream cheese myself. The taste is decent, texture is way off. I get we are starved for bagels out here in AZ but in my opinion this place isn't it. I'll keep looking. read more

Fun fact: Buon Giorno translates to "Good Morning (Day)" in Italian! We asked the worker why "Bongiorno" was spelled differently, to which she replied "It's Italian." I speculated "Bongiorno" is easier to spell; come to found out on their website, it's the owner's last name! Anyways! My husband visited once on a Saturday around noon and reported it was really busy. They do not have online ordering through their website. We visited on Sunday around 1:15, 45 minutes before close. There were only a few people ahead of us, but also only 3-4 types of bagels still available. I ordered a Chicken Cutlet sandwich on an everything bagel ($9.99 + $1 chicken cutlet= $10.99) and my husband had the Hot Double on Sesame ($10.99). Both of our bagel sandwiches were HUGE! I probably could have eaten half and called it a day but I'm not a quitter. Our bagels were both pretty good, but I haven't had New York bagels to compare it to. Certainly fresher than Einstein Bagels. The chicken cutlet was a bit dry though. I only wish it weren't so far away! read more

Finally got a chance to try this place out. Let me tell you the staff are so friendly and the sandwiches were heavy! Such a great deal for the price and you get a bag of chips included!

I was craving a bagel sandwich, but after our experience the other day at another spot, I wanted to try some place different. This place popped up on my yelp search so I thought I would try it. WOW! This place was JUMPIN! BUSY, BUSY!!! Since I've never been, I decided to get just a bagel because of how busy they were but then found out they work fast and I should have just taken my time and gotten the sandwich. Either way tho, because the bagel was amazing and the smear was the real deal. The guy that helped me was super friendly, the bathroom was spotless, and the shop was clean and very cool! I might stop by again during the week instead of a Saturday to see if they are busy then as well, I'm guessing they are because this place is the SPOT! 5 STARS!!! read more

If you fancy a tasty bagel, Bongiornio is the place to be. It's busy because it is delicious. However, they have a great system to accommodate this and we were promptly attended to. A half dozen bagels with cream cheese cost us a little less than $20 very reasonable. Ambiance feels like a nice local shop. Clean and organized. I would definitely recommend. read more

Been on the hunt for an Egg Everything bagel since moving here from Long Island about 4 years ago. Theirs are very good! I ordered an Egg everything with scallion cream cheese & well done bacon. I also took home a half dozen and froze them. They heat up very well and taste great. The scallion cream cheese was a pinch too tangy for my liking but it was very good. Service is quick and the ambiance feels like back home walking into a bagel shop. Will be back soon to have a chicken cutlet sandwich! :) read more

A barista overheard me and my cousin talking about wanting to get bagels and she recommended Bongiorno's. We came to try and our craving was definitely satisfied. I've been craving bagels specifically from NYC (which i've never had lol) but this is definitely something I expect to get once I do get a chance to visit NYC! We both ordered their fireman bagel which included scallion cream cheese, lox, red onion, tomato, and capers on an everything bagel. My mistake was not realizing it came on an everything bagel (not my fave) but I still enjoyed it. We loved that the bagel was perfectly filled with all the fixings!! Next time I would love to try another breakfast bagel or switch out the everything bagel to a plain one (we thought the everything bagel was a bit too salty). read more

Expect long lines but definitely worth it for these bagels. Has to be the best in Arizona and on par with the best from anywhere else (NY included). I got a few bagels and a bagel sandwich. Everything tasted amazing and the bagels were the perfect texture and consistency. I also tried their cream cheeses which they apply a good good amount of. Note - line is long but moves relatively quickly and again, definitely worth it read more

Went on a Friday morning and it was decently busy but the line moved quickly! I love the variety of bagels and cream cheese they offer. I do wish they offered cinnamon sugar bagels and a sweet cream cheese option WITHOUT raisins (the cinnamon walnut would be great without raisins). Customer service was so so. The girl who took my order seemed annoyed. I ordered a bakers dozen with 3 small tubs of cream cheese. Prices of the bagels themselves I thought was great. Cream cheese was expensive. Good quality though. Bagels were soft, kinda dense. And I kinda wish the bagels had holes in the middle haha. Also they didn't cut the bagels in half which I felt would've been nice of them to offer/do. Overall pretty good. I might consider going back again. read more

This is my only gripe with this bagel store. You're always going to get a few over cooked/burnt bagels. And this morning was another example of that. A bagel should not crack or crunch when you bite into it. Not sure how or why they'd think this is a good bagel to sell but here we are. I had to throw them away. read more

As someone who lived in NY most of my life, these bagels just don't hit the same as back home. They may use NY water, but the bagels just aren't anything special. Prices can be high for what they offer. This go around we opted for The Bongiorno. It's a chicken cutlet sandwich with mozz, pesto, and prosciutto. Opted for a roll but their rolls are on the smaller side. Chicken cutlet was crispy, loved the pesto, but minimal prosciutto added. The sandwiches come with a bag of chips. The chips are child size, not even a normal size bag of chips. Also got a piece of crumb cake. I asked the lady behind the counter if I could pick the one I wanted from the front case, we like extra crumb. Unfortunately they don't allow that. Ended up with a piece that had the thinnest layer of crumb instead. The cake was moist and had really good flavor, but crumb layer was too thin. We were in the area and hungry, but been here a few times and just not impressed regardless what we try. read more

Omg yum if you're looking for a good bagel this is your place! The line is long but it goes quick and the staff are all super nice! We got the good fella, the hot double (no ham & add scallion scream cheese), and a plain bagel with blueberry cream cheese. They were all amazing and we will definitely be back! read more

Came here specifically for the Taylor Ham -- and Bongiorno Bagels did not disappoint. Growing up visiting family in Jersey, Taylor Ham was always a staple at the local bagel shops, so finding it here was a big win. I did a build-your-own egg n' cheese with an everything bagel, egg, pepper jack cheese, jalapeño cream cheese, and Taylor Ham. Solid combo. The bagel itself was fresh and tasty -- and it's cool that they use a New York Water Filtration System to replicate NYC water. You can tell they're serious about keeping it authentic. Heads up: there was a bit of a wait when I visited, but it was worth it. Next time, I'll probably order ahead to skip the line because there's a lot on the menu I still want to try. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to -- especially when I'm craving a little taste of the East Coast. read more

Oh my goodness! As a New York City bagel connoisseur, five stars every day. It is an act of control and Strong will that I am not coming here every day. These owners know exactly what they are doing and they are doing it very well. The bagels are incredible, the spreads are on point, the sandwiches, yes yes yes. They have a New York City water filtration unit. I don't know exactly how it works, but it is working. Fantastic bagels, so much gratitude that you guys came here, the only thing you need is a smaller space so it really feels like New York. read more

Best place to visit for amazing bagels! They're known for their bagels straight from "New York" which I agree (also because they use water straight from new york). The service is quick and they're always busy so be careful what time you go because they might run out of bagels. Very small store with minimal standing room but they have some outside seating. Seems to be more of a quick get and go but I don't mind because I end up devouring the bagel in the car in 5 minutes haha! read more
