    Gravlax bagel with capers, tomatoes and red onions
    Maria G.

    Family owned, very friendly. Had a Gravlax bagel. Was fresh, tasty and loaded! Highly recommended!

    Donuts
    Lina F.

    I really like this place since they have decent bagels and sandwiches. But they had a new kind of donut- crème brûlée- the donut was delicious!!!! The staff is always helpful and friendly if you have questions. I was very surprised to see they made their own donuts!! Definitely give their donuts a try as they are very tasty!

    Fellas. Just got back home and have half the sandwich left. Thanks for the delicious lunch, I'll be back and I'm glad I'm close. I got turkey, bacon, avocado, and tomato on a plain bagel.

    BEC on Everything Bagel

    What a great establishment! Brownstone Bagels has some of the best bagels around. Always fresh and perfectly made. The cream cheese is delicious and their BECs hit the spot every time. Fast service, friendly staff, and always consistent. Highly recommend!

    My first NYC bagel IN NY!!! Everything bagel with plain cream cheese.

    It was my first time in NYC and you best believe "bagels" were on my To-Do list! My mama didn't raise no dummy! Anyhow, of course New York being New York you got bagels errywhere! It was Sunday and my husband and I overslept. So my brother in law and his wife got a head start on us visiting the 9/11 memorial. So we were left to our own vices to learn how to get from Time Square to the memorial via the Subway *insert scared face here*. So naturally we ended up in Brooklyn..hahahahahaa! I knew we needed off the Subway we were on when we started crossing a bridge...hahahahaa! So we hopped off so we could hop back on another going back. But first, I spot a cute bagel shop....then I see a beautiful tree lined street of Brownstones. Told my husband I needed to grab us bagels first. He spots a Starbucks across the street and in an effort to save time I tell him to go to Starbucks to grab us coffees and I'll grab the bagels. I enter this quaint shop. See a buffet of cream cheeses house in an enclosed glass display. Behind the corner against the wall hanging baskets of bagels. I choose a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese for him and an everything bagel slathered in cream cheese for me. I asked the guy if there was a way to order my bagel without sounding like a loser tourist. His reply "you could never sound like a loser mami". Yep, tip for you kind sir because I know I sounded like a loser tourist...lol! Lemme tell you. Although it was just shy of 11AM that bagel was still chewy and flavorful and had seasoning on both top AND bottom and the slathering of that cream cheese...perfection...no skimping here! I hope I will be back. If you luckily stumble upon this place as I did be sure to check it out, you wont be disappointed!

    The BEST bagels ever. As a pretentious New Yorker who reviews bagels, nothing beats it. Bagels are so flavorful and doughy. My order is godsent - egg everything bagel with egg, cheese and avocado. And the staff know how to cook the egg & cheese so it's cohesive & gooey.

    10am on a Sunday and I was served a cold, dry, and stale bagel that tasted like it was straight out of the refrigerator from yesterday. You should be embarrassed serving this garbage to your customers. Definitely not coming back here. If you want good bagels, keep walking. You won't find them here.

    Egg sandwich with tomato and brown avocado. Gross.
    Victor L.

    Very hit or miss. Some days the bagels are dense, moist and chewy and some days they're airy and dry as dust. Depending on who's making the sandwiches, they can be delicious or disgusting. Today's was so bad I felt compelled to write this review. Just seems like they don't care about their customers at all or are lazy or cheap or all of the above.. I'd recommend walking a few an extra blocks for a better and consistent experience.

    I love bagels. Safe to say I was born and raised on bagels! With that said I got to say that Brownstone bagels are pretty banging! Their bagels pass inspection with all the important qualities needed to call it a Brooklyn bagel. The outside has just the right crisp and chewiness with the inside having a perfect dough texture. On my last visit I went had my favorite bagel/schmear combo is an everything with scallion cream cheese. It was perfect. Id recommend this place if you're looking for a great Brooklyn bagel!

    Any issues with Groupon sandwich deal? Why does the Groupon say sides when it's a soda and chips? Also, can you order any kind of sandwich?

    The only issue is sometimes ppl want other items such as a muffin rather than a coke and chips for ea sandwich

    Anyone know when/if this place is opening again?

    Hi I'm Michael the owner of Brownstone..Thanks for the question and concern. We will be opening early this week possibly Tues. Thank you so much For your patronage. We promise we will be back up to speed

    People have left some odd reviews of this place, including a one-star review for the restaurant…read moreapparently being highly politicized--a vibe I neither felt nor could visually identify within or without the establishment. I ordered a single burger and a Sudan spiced peanut butter latte, for ~$15! That's pretty inexpensive for New York City. I note this as some consider it overpriced. I suppose the food is fairly inexpensive, the lattes slightly higher than average. The "burger" comes wrapped in a homemade pita with diced cucumber, onion, and tomato, plus a few crispy, thick-cut fries and a yummy house sauce. It was a cool twist of the traditional burger and had a nice flavor. The sauce was like a slightly Mediterranean version of Big Mac sauce. The girl working as the barista and cashier was very nice and friendly. She had a nice presence and warm smile, made suggestions, and even gave a stranger free utensils when they popped on to ask. I think it's definitely worth checking out, and it's a good place for a cheap & simple meal that's still quirky and fun.

    I have wanted to try this spot for some time, and wound up a bit disappointed with what I tried…read more They feature a tahini cold brew, which features two things I love dearly, but instead of a rich cold brew it was overly sweet and icy--more like a slushie. Perhaps I should have anticipated that, or my mistake in ordering. I also ordered a Moroccan egg salad sandwich which was substantive but surprisingly bland--sparse with the advertised capers and pickled red onions to give it more punch. I've always loved the look of the spot and the vibe--funky decor, outside and indoor facing counters to order, with some outdoor seating for people watching on Dekalb or heading nearby Ft. Greene Park. I see they are renovating and rebranding a bit and adding some burger component. While I didn't love it, I'd definitely give it another shot.
