I've been a costumer for quite a while now. I am talking pre pandemic. I've enjoyed the bagels and always had great service from the staff. I recommended it to my brother and now ever time he comes to the city he stops in and receives great service from GISEL H. AKA he calls her Slim. She is always smiling and extremely pleasant. Her energy made him a regular. read more

Love me some Bo's. I try to limit my carbs so don't go as often as I'd like. When I go big, I like to get the chopped cheese. But my go-to is the mini bagel flight, with jalapeño, scallion, and bacon cheddar spreads. So so good. I like variety, and the minis leave me satiated. read more

Always an amazing time for my taste buds. This place is so awesome it makes me want to make my own cream cheese. If you're in the area and love bagels look no further. The best quality and will leave you wanting more. The staff here is incredible. This time I tried a lot of the different cream cheeses and they were close to closing. I appreciated that they took their time with me regardless! Place is always clean! 10/10 recommend read more

I came here for lunch, and had a great time! We walked in and it is a fairly decent sized space with tables around the perimeter. Large menus on top to help us choose what to get. The service was patient with our large order, and about ten minutes later, everything was ready! I got Turkey, Egg, and Cheese with lettuce and tomato on a 3CBO. It was delicious and warm. I thought the 3CBO was good, but it was chewier than I thought. I wonder if it was because I came later in the day so it was less fresh. Otherwise the bagel itself was satisfying! read more

Everything Bagel with cream cheese was good, not excellent. But I would eat it again. They didn't have "Egg everything bagels" so I just got an "everything bagel". Coffee was okay, below average. I would return to eat the bagel. Cheers. read more

The staff is so nice here! I came in to pick up my To Good To Go ($4.99 for a big bag of goodies) and they had it ready for me in the time that was promised. My boyfriend enjoyed the variety of bagels. I'll definitely have to come back to try the gluten free options in the future. read more

Reeaaalllyyy slow! Either order ahead or be prepared to wait 25+ min for your bagel. Was craving an egg bagel since absolute closed, so tried this spot. Was terrible, dense and drier than a desert- do not get it! I was so sad I nearly shed a tear. Did get to try some other stuff- the 3CBO bagel is delish. Zatar bagel is unique as well. My sister was a fan of the blueberry. Wouldn't come back though. read more

BO's Bagels - Blueberry and Egg (boooooo) - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

We had high expectations for this place but was a little disappointed . The bagels were not bad but liberty bagels for example are much better The zaatar bagel had a very weak scent of zaatar - no distinct flavour at all. The Sushi bagel was better - the bagel had a nice wasabi flavour to it , although at 16$ it's a little expensive for what you get But the biggest issue is the smell - the place smelled like sewage . Could hardly stay inside . Disgusting odour, and considering they sell food there it was very inappropriate With so many other good places we will likely not come back read more

I ordered a bacon egg and cheese for my husband and it was good but we were just expecting it to be a little more filling. The bagels were on the small side. I had the salmon with scallion cream cheese and it was good too. The iced coffee was ok too but nothing special. They had a nice menu selection and maybe going basic was my mistake. I'll definitely give this place another try. read more

This was my first true NYC bagel. And I am so glad! The service was friendly and the menu is vast. I had a bialy with plain cream cheese... basic but a good start I would say! The bagel was very oniony and chewy (loved it) and the cream cheese was in abundance as one would expect. read more

Horrible Egg Bagels. Other bagels are good. I have been searching for a go-to bagel shop since Absolute (my favorite place ever) closed. I was in love with their egg bagels, but Bo's egg bagel is a disappointment. It was way too bready, dry, and tasted like a plain bagel. I miss the sweetness and almost creamy flavor of Absolute's egg bagel. I also tried the Za'atar, 3CBO, and blueberry bagels. These were all much better and more moist. The exterior of these bagels is definitely more crust-like and harder than Absolute's. I liked the blueberry bagel a lot. Reminded me faintly of sourdough and it had the right amount of sweetness. Toffuti is solid. I also enjoyed the Za'atar and 3CBO bagels- definitely on the breadier side. Lox spread was also fine, but they messed up my order. For whatever reason they rang up five 4oz containers of lox spread which I had to come back to return. The cashier was very kind and fixed the mistake and let me keep the lox spreads. The wasabi cream cheese definitely has a kick. It basically just tastes like wasabi (less spicy, but still quite hot nonetheless). The ginger is not integrated throughout-- there are little chunks. Overall, I would maybe return, just not for their egg bagels. I am intrigued by their bagel-dog. I do appreciate their wide selection of bagel flavors. read more

I only know Bo's from ordering delivery, but as a bagel guru and one who's a bit picky, I was surprised by the freshness of everything from the bagels themselves to the array of offerings you can get. Having brie as a cheese option is not something you often see on bagel shop menus, even at the most reputable and well-known places ... so this definitely was an extra point on my list. Fast delivery. Consistently good. read more

Our favorite bagel stop before a long day! We like to order ahead so when we get there it's not too much of a wait. My go to is the blueberry bagel with veggie cream cheese. & my partner loves the bacon, egg, & cheese on an everything bagel! read more

I went to the 155th St. location. Staff was wonderful - super kind and helpful. Bagel was trash. I got a fish sandwich on an egg bagel for $23. The bagel was old. Stale. Hard. I went in the afternoon so I didn't expect fresh out of the oven but that bagel had to be days old. Really disappointed. read more

Lively neighborhood spot with a small morning line that moves quickly. Tried the lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel--perfect balance of salty fish and bagel seeds, and the bagel was nicely warm, though I wished it was a bit softer. Also had the cold brew, which was excellent. Staff were sweet and helpful with recommendations. read more

Be prepared to wait! But the bagels are fun and delicious. It was the perfect morning stop followed by relaxing in a near by park. It's popular for a reason! read more

BO's became my local bialy and bagel place when I moved to the neighborhood during the pandemic. Having been literally weaned on bialys and savory bagels since Kossar's on Grand Street was my grandparents' LES neighborhood bagel place, enjoyed most of BO's selection - that includes their twists on classics. Three drawbacks about BO's - 1) given they close in the early afternoon, they run out of certain items (like bialys) quite early; 2) all prices have crept up during my relatively short time living in the neighborhood, especially on the sandwiches; and 3) not that fond of their Egg bagel (otherwise a favorite variety of mine to be enjoyed toasted with butter) since it lacks the tenderness and "sweeter" dough I find on more traditional egg ones. With all that in mind, BO's bialys are definitely winners, decorated with an ample level of juicy onions enhanced with black sesame! Worth a try - their Black Russian bagels, a dark variety with notes of onion coated with sesame, Za'atar spiced, and 3CBO (a cheesy variety). While I'm typically not a fan of any sweet bagels, the Pumpernickel Cranberry works for me in certain applications (i.e., toasted with butter) due to its darkness complementing the mild cranberry. This week, my niece in town from LA came over for breakfast. While I get my Whitefish regularly in the 2 lb. tub from the club store, her longing for bialys required that I order in advance for early morning pick-up from BO's to ensure her uncle delivered. Had also made a special request that, if possible, could I get them before their 8:30 pickup start. (Note - They open at 8.) Added to that order a few Black Russian, Za'atar, and Egg. BO's had it ready when I arrive! (Big thanks!) And BO's bialys made our breakfast! (Note - She also complemented their Za'atar, which is really astounding with smoked fish like sable.) Would recommend picking up at BO's for their savory bagels, but especially their bialys! read more

Best everything bagel recipe I've ever had. The scallion cream cheese is delicious also.

I had reasonably high expectations for Bo's, especially after hearing they opened a location in Ann Arbor, but I left feeling like even those high expectations were an underestimation. We went to Bo's on a Sunday morning and there was hardly any line or wait to speak of, which was a welcome discovery. I got a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and a cold brew. It's not particularly hard to make a good BEC, but Bo's undoubtedly went a step beyond. The everything bagel was heavily seasoned and packed with flavor, and the exterior-crunch-to-interior-softness ratio was impressive even for NYC. The contents were noteworthy, too: the egg was rich, the bacon was thick, and the jalapeño cream cheese had just the right amount of kick without being overpowering. The cold brew was a perfectly solid addition, too. Props to Bo's for standing out, even in as competitive a bagel market as New York is. Looking forward to returning! read more

This place is a ridiculous joke. 30$ for 2 BEC (there is literally one slice of bacon that you can barely taste) and cream cheese bagel that looks it's on ozempic. Last time lox cost me 20$. Since when Harlem become so expensive and I don't even mind to pay it when the food tastes good. But bagels taste like cardboard and overall not worth it at all Never again read more

BO's Bagels - Sad scallion cream cheese bagel - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I get very excited to get LI/NYC bagels whenever I'm in town and these bagels did not disappoint. The bagels were fluffy (just the way they should be) and the bacon and eggs were fresh and full of flavor. I ordered cream cheese on mine and they were very generous with the serving. My biggest critique was the wait time... I waited about 40 minutes for our two sandwiches which was brutal. The staff was working super super hard but I think having both online orders and a busy restaurant caused a lot of back up. I would definitely suggest this place for the taste but be ready for how busy it gets weekend mornings. read more

Bo's Bagels had a unique bagel to me. It was on the bready side. Upon opening it up I realized the structure of the dough with the air pockets similar to what a foccacia bread would look like. And it almost ate similar to that texture as well. The bagel itself had a really great crisp on the outside while being fluffy in the middle. I wish the everything seasoning had a little more salt to it because while it had great coverage, it was lacking salt. The cream cheese was good quality, what felt like to me as a run of the mill scallion cream cheese. Close your eyes and think of it, and that's what it was. I do wish they spread it out a little bit because it felt like a block in the center of the bagel, but who cares I spread it out myself so no issue. Overall if you are in the area a good place to stop by to for your bagel cravings! read more

Reasonably priced bagels that are tasty! Great spot to get a classic New York bagel. Bagel sandwiches were generous with the egg, sausage, and bacon. Tried the Andrew it was a great combo of flavors - went well with the whole wheat everything. Chewy, crisp, but also soft bagel. Elevated bagel once toasted! Kind of a small shop, so recommend getting takeout or ordering for pickup. read more

Had the three cheese bagel slightly toasted with lox cream cheese spread at Bo Bagels - really solid choice! The bagel was excellent quality, though a bit dense (which you'd expect with all that cheese). What I appreciated most was the perfectly balanced lox spread. So many places go overboard with the lox and capers, but this hit the sweet spot - flavorful without being overwhelming. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a well-executed classic combo! read more

A delicious experience at BO's Bagels in Harlem. I completed an online order which was easy to submit. I visited on a Sunday and to be expected the bagel shop was crowded with walk-ins and customers who pre-ordered. I recommend ordering well in advance in consideration of the morning rush. The bagels were delicious. Typical NYC bagels with the chewy exterior and soft interior. I ordered one sausage, egg, and cheese on everything bagel and another on egg bagel. It comes with bodega style eggs, however, I prefer fried egg. Certainly a go-to option for morning bagels. Give them a try. read more

Now that Absolute Bagel is shut-down, I'm on the hunt for a new local bagel spot. Bo's ins't too bad of a walk from my apartment and it's near Lidl i.e. the best grocery store in Morningside Heights. Anyways, Bo's is great! They're one of the last remaining bagel spots in the city that still rolls them the traditional way. I could really tell on the mini bagel, it was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft and dense on the inside. I also loved trying the black russian bagel, which isn't a flavor you come across too often. Overall, I would definitely come back! They have easy online ordering for the morning rush and the afternoons are quiet for a work from home lunch. Good vibes and bagel all around. read more

We were leaving the UWS and on our way to Rego Park on a Saturday morning and were desperately in need of coffee and bagels. We ended up at Bo's Bagels in Harlem. I got a Russian Rye bagel scooped out with scallion cream cheese. It was pretty good. The most interesting thing I saw was a Za'atar bagel and we bought one and each took a bite. The woman at the checkout counter was really friendly and patient. They were a little slow getting our order together but it was a Saturday morning and a bit busy. The coffee was fair. Literally 2 days earlier Infatuation ranked Bo's the 5th best bagel place in New York. Maybe they were extra busy? read more

Bagels were very good and they have a long menu. But they are SO messy. Really not well prepared.

I wish I could rate this place higher, but it's just average. Arrived at around 12:30 pm on a weekday, got a zataar lox bagel with scallion cream cheese. Prices have gone up from what's on some of the menu photos, so it was about $17. There are a couple of tables to sit at if you want, but I took mine to go. The bagel is way too dense and chewy, it was not a good fit for a lox sandwich. Perhaps it holds up better to the speciality sandwiches they offer, but for lox it is mediocre. The zataar seasoning was ok. One weird thing was the service. When we arrived, there were at least 6 workers in the establishment and no other customers. However, I had to wait a few minutes to even be acknowledged-- ultimately a worker had to grab the cashier to get them to take my order. Once the order was in though, the bagel was quick to be made. read more

BO's is my favorite bagel spot in town. They are a bit harder on the outside, so they don't travel as well compared to some of the other great bagels in the city. (I take bagels to Japan when I visit my family, so I've tested several.) But if you're looking for a delicious bagel with cream cheese, this is the place. They've increased prices for their bagels and now, they're $2.05+ each. This time, in addition to a couple of bagels, I got a Specialty Sandwich called the Ashley ($10.50+, including egg whites, avocado, red onions, pepper jack cheese, sriracha sauce), changing some of the toppings. The bagel sandwich was good, but I think my go-to (plain bagel with lox cream cheese) is still my favorite. read more

I have had many a good bagel here in NYC, and Bo's ranks up among the best of them! The dough recipe is perfect...perfectly salted, perfectly dense. I will say that I got these bagels at the end of the evening and even the next day....delicious! Will be back! read more

Wanted so badly to like this place bc I've heard amazing things. My everything bagel was hard and dry and the cream cheese was lacking in flavor and scallion :( I did go on a Sunday afternoon so maybe that's why. And it wasn't too busy. Maybe I should go in the morning to get the fresh hot bagels! But still was pretty sad by the quality. read more
