Auburn Bagel Co. made its debut in downtown Auburn in 2025, introducing New York City-style bagels…read moreto the area with a wide array of fresh handmade bagels that include flavors like poppy, sesame, whole wheat, pumpernickel and more. Owner Tony Daddabbo, an Auburn native, honed his bagel-making skills in New York City at the popular "Columbia Bagel" just a few blocks from Columbia University. Daddabbo said the key to making an authentic New York City-style bagel is to keep it simple and fresh, using five simple ingredients: Water, yeast barley malt, syrup, salt and flour. Wife and I recently stopped into Auburn Bagel company to grab a quick bite before running some chores. It was around 1030AM on a Sunday, and there were already plenty of customers dining or ordering. We looked at the menu and my wife decided on a Bagel Weck sandwich on pumpernickel - roast beef, creamy horseradish and a side of aus jus for dipping, while I chose a chicken parm sandwich on a garlic bagel. The line to order moved quickly, employees were friendly, and our food was made relatively quickly, and we enjoyed our food - my only complaint was my bagel was a bit too toasted and crispy for my liking, but that's all preference and there was nothing wrong with the sandwich itself. We did think it was a tad pricey (over $12 for each for a bagel sandwich), but they were a decent size and were filling. We'd definitely return.

I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. Honestly, it was one of the best bagels I've ever had. The bagel was incredibly soft with a perfectly crisp toasted exterior. It was so good that I bought a dozen bagels and a container of the jalapeño cream cheese to bring home. Unfortunately, the next morning I woke up with what appeared to be food poisoning and was sick for my entire flight home. I had frozen the cream cheese overnight so it would stay cold during my trip and refrigerated it again as soon as I got home. On July 17, my partner had an everything bagel with the same cream cheese, and they became sick the following day as well. Meanwhile, my mother-in-law ate one of the plain bagels and did not experience any illness. Because of that, I suspect the cream cheese may have been the source, although I can't say for certain. I'm giving 3 stars because of the apparent foodborne illness. The customer service, cleanliness, and the taste of the food were all excellent, and I genuinely loved the bagels. I hope this was just an isolated incident, but I wanted to share my experience so the business can investigate if needed.

One of the best benefits of Yelp when traveling is getting a peek at where the locals go. You…read morealways want to find the local gems in a region, and this past weekend we found just that in Water Street Bagel in Syracuse, NY. The place was bustling, all seats taken, people standing waiting on their order, and others dashing in for their carry out orders. There's good reason for that, the food, the coffee, the service, the vibe was all excellent. Inside is clean, simply decorated, and everything from the food to the kitchen is visible. It's simply part of the decor. We purchased some bagels from the previous day, some breakfast sandwiches and coffee. The coffee was bold, rich and fresh. The bagels delicious, all of the sandwich parts cooked to perfection. There's a friendly, warm vibe inside that extends from the staff and is entrenched in the food and coffee. Just a fantastic place for bagels and, I have to admit, NY bagels are next level. If you're in Syracuse, I highly recommend you make sure you make Water Street Bagel one of your stops.

The staff always seem to be hard at work as they are clearly in high demand. We were lucky this visit because all of the bagels were super fresh as it was peak busy hours. We also were lucky because we actually found parking quite quickly & didn't have to circle the block. I appreciate they offer sandwich options but I usually stick with a bagel & some form of cream cheese for myself because that's just usually my preference. This visit I got a rosemary salt bagel with salmon cream cheese. It was simple & perfectly what I was looking for that day. It's a beautiful space that is well lit & well decorated. It's easy to find them with their sign out front. It can get a bit crowded inside if they're busy but that's nothing to complain about it's just the reality of the space they are working with. Last note- it does always smell really amazing when you walk in there.

Neither of the latter two sandwiches were made properly, both missing onion and extra hot sauce. Beyond that, the order was not left in the area where online orders are usually left so we had to wait more time than was necessary to receive our orders. As with Riverwalk Coffee, I understand it was busy today but if something as simple as a few extra customers can upset the balance there so easily, I imagine either more people need to be working there or perhaps less people who crack so easily under pressure.

At that point, they searched for it and discovered it had been sitting there the entire time, no one ever called my name, even though they were calling out other customers' orders. By the time I received my food, the sandwiches weren't even warm and the pancakes were soggy and sweating from sitting in a to-go container for far too long. There was no apology or accountability for the mistake. For a New York bagel shop, the food is shockingly bland, basic, underwhelming breakfast sandwiches that don't match what you'd expect at all. Overall, a very disappointing and disorganized experience. They need to get it together.
