Are you staying (visiting or living) on the lower east side? If so, the Essex Marketplace is a must see, and more importantly, a great bagel from Davidovich should be on your list. They also have some great sandwich options for lunch time and a handful of sweets. However, my top reason for visiting Davidovich is definite for a morning bagel. A friend, who is a local, says they pricing is just bit high, but I actually thought it was very reasonable for the area. Go ahead an pay with a card, and you are automatically connected to their rewards program. I got a $2 off coupon for the second visit I ever made there. I prefer an everything bagel, and theirs did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, responsive, and the food was good. How can you go wrong with that. read more

Do you know how hard it can be to find a freshly made bagel on a Sunday after 2pm? Many of my local bakeries are out of them by that time, but Davidovich didn't let me down. They were out of coffee and about half of the flavors they normally have in stock, but they still had Egg, Onion, Cinnamon Raisin, Plain, Whole Wheat, and a couple other bagels and we were still hungry for a good smear and toasted bagel. I also appreciated the tables and seats inside the Essex Market on a really cold day. I went with the Onion Bagel since they were out of Everything at the time. The bagel is the really dense and doughy kind- not full of air pockets. They seem to put the cream cheese on one side and then sandwich it together, but they put a generous enough portion that if you like to eat your bagel by the quarter or half, there's still plenty of cream cheese to go around. The veggie cream cheese had some nice sized chunks of carrot, scallion, and peppers. The cream cheese itself is smooth and slightly more spreadable than it is stiff- light in density and not too sour or sweet. Today I went back and tried the Cinnamon Raisin bagel with their special honey walnut cinnamon cream cheese- a sweet pairing and this time the cream cheese was a bit more dense and much more sweet (but that was due to the honey, I'm sure.) For around $5 I had a breakfast of iced coffee and bagel w/ special cream cheese- a great deal considering nearby places may charge $4 just for iced coffee alone. The yelp reviews for Davidovich actually led me to exploring the entire Essex Market, which I hadn't done before- so kudos for great reviews! read more

Davidovich Bakery is a small bakery located on the heart of Chelsea Market, standing out on its own as the only place running the bagels. While the service was nothing breath-taking or spectacular, but rather odd and disorganized, it all felt a little too light on the customer service efforts of all three of its crew. However, who I can only consider was Mr Davidovich himself, recommended I get the everything bagel shortly after asking him to "give me something good." The everything bagel, "which has everything on it," as I was reassured, was served with cream cheese on it, after a light but perfect toasting. Short to say, the bagel was gratifying. Whatever this bakery lacks in customer attention, it surely makes up in its evocative bagel. A tender and notable outer crunch with a soft and slightly tender interior, all wrapped up and displayed with a perfect cream cheese that automatically makes you crave the next bite. It was inevitable that every single person who passed me by had two different but connected thoughts: 1) he is really enjoying that, and 2) I want some as well. read more

Ordered in bagels to get my nyc bagel fix. Nothing super special - but definitely a good bagel (with lox). Took a dozen for the road - let's see how that goes. read more

I usually go to the deli but there was a line so I decided to treat myself to this fancy bakery. I was in a rush on the way to work. I ordered the Wall Street breakfast sandwich. When I ate it, there was no tomato in it. There literally three ingredients: eggs, cheese, and tomato... why is this so hard to remember? It's extremely annoying paying $7.60 and being let down. I don't know what to say. This company should pay its employees more and give them an incentive to be more diligent. read more

I really love their spinach and feta pastry, apple pie, and cheese Danish. I get it all the time on UberEats. They are addicting. I took off two stars because I did not like the attitude of a male employee over the phone when I mentioned to him that I received a broken pie ordered through UberEats. He said in a very sassy manner that UberEats and Davidovich are separate companies. I did not like the attitude. An apology about the broken pie would have been nice instead of attitude. read more

I really enjoy the whitefish bagels as well as coffee from this bakery. I find the cashiers to always be friendly and welcoming. I have tried other items as well like the spinach feta pie and cookies, and so far everything has been delicious. read more

This place is fantastic. Delicious bagels, croissants, twists and rolls. But the beauty of this place is the service. The staff here is attentive, engaging and very welcoming. You can tell that they take pride in their work and want you to enjoy your experience and come back. I only wish I would've started coming here years ago. read more

A NYC institution: if you're craving delicious bagels then come to their flagship store inside Essex Street Market. The market in and of itself is worth a visit. The market completed a massive renovation in May 2019 and has provided the lower east side with affordable high quality produce and goods since 1888 (it was originally an outdoor pushcart market). You could easily spend an hour or two browsing vendors that range from butcheries, Peruvian food to ice cream. I'm pretty certain you'll find a vendor to satisfy your craving(s). Don't forget to check out the vendors located downstairs. Davidovich offers $2 off any order on your birthday valid for several months, you just need to subscribe to their mailing list. read more

Got online delivery from here. When they don't have items they randomly substitute them for other items with no phone call. I ordered an egg, bacon, and cheese toasted bagel. I got a cold lettuce, tomato, avocado bagel with 4 pastries. Boo! read more

If I could I would give zero stars. They advertise shipping to anywhere. I placed an order for a Birthday Gift basket to be delivered to North Carolina. It was delivered by Fedex, the few ice packs melted and the contents were warm!! Warm cream cheese and warm lox!!! I called the company and left a voice message. I never received a call back. I also sent an email and never received a response. Of course I disputed the charge on my credit card. The entire experience was very disappointing. read more

ASKED FOR AN EVERYTHING BAGEL AND GOT A SANDWICH... when I brought it back they were already yelling at some lady so I had to wait 20 mins just to get the backwashed attitude SMH then they come back saying "THERE'S NO MORE EVERYTHING BAGELS" just keep the money I'm tired read more

Now that Kossar's Bialy is undergoing a face lift, in this part of LES/Chinatown, it is almost impossible to find a decent bagel. While others live in a food desert, it is official, I live in a "bagel desert." Sure, you'll find every single cheap Chinese bakery known to man here, but you'll be hard pressed to find a decent chewy bagel in this area. It may be time to leave this part of town... So on a Sunday afternoon, I find myself inside Essex Market, really hoping to get a decent bagel w/ cream cheese. At 1pm in the afternoon, this place has already run out of everything bagel. Why me?? So I chose my next favorite bagel, poppy seed. And they have flagels, cool. I ask if they have tofu cream cheese, also a yes, cool. The guy at the register rings me up and tells me $4.36. I look at him bewildered but pay for it. Really? Almost 5 bucks for a smear? What the...? Never mind that they also forgot about my order, but the woman working there did apologize and produced my smear quickly, but honestly, I could've bought a 6-pack of bagels and some cream cheese at my local grocery store, and it would've tasted the same without causing such a huge dent in my piggy bank. read more

This was the first stop of our food tour and I really enjoyed the bagel here. We ordered a cream cheese with lox on an everything bagel. Check-in with Yelp and they throw in a free cup of coffee too. It's located inside Essex Market (which I would have never known until someone brought me here). Cute place all the way to the left inside the market. read more

Aw hate to say this, but I was disappointed! For the same price, I could get the same thing in Ventura except with way more smoked salmon and capers. I literally had at most 5 capers in my bagelwich. Hate to break the recent hype of this place but this is my opinion :( Bagel itself tasted same as California. Our layover in New York on our way to Puerto Rico had some better bagels in the airport. The bagel wasn't as toasted as I'd liked, and she asked if I wanted it toasted! I feel capers add so much flavor to the bagel and I love them so I was so sad to find so little capers in my bagelwich! She was VERY generous on cream cheese, which, eh. Cream cheese is cream cheese. I'd rather have way more of the capers or smoked salmon, as that's definitely more bang for your buck! I was able to get free coffee with check in. There are I think three tables right in front for seating. But this place is located inside the Essex market! It's on a corner. I love markets so it's always fun to walk around and see the variety of things you can find. But in conclusion, paying $8.60 for a Lox bagel was not worth it here. Now I'm more than happy to pay the same for that place back at home! read more

Seating was limited, and the girl working the register wasn't friendly. Also, they should keep serving omelettes past noon especially on Sundays. And my iced coffee didn't have enough ice and she only offered to put milk and not sugar. Those are the only negative things I have to say. The bagel was delicious- fresh, soft and not too chewy and not too toasted. It had a good balance of everything (everything bagel)... The salmon was fresh and was good quality- I hate when it's stringy and hard to bite into without it getting stuck in your teeth. I had the LES on a whole wheat everything bagel. read more

An awesome bagel shop, operator by 2 people. Well that little stall is only big enough to fit 2 thus making service a tad slow but it was worth the wait. Try the LES! Any choice of bagel with the fresh made cream cheese with assorted toppings and also the yummy salmon. The portion is big but with the prices you get what you paid for. read more

Bagels are great but staff burns the egg and cheese every. single. time.. it's folded in and hidden, sometimes covered in cheese but it's inedible and gross. Please fix!!!!

Passed by Essex Market on a rainy day. My friend and I tried the avocado with eggs and added pastrami in it. The ingredients are fresh and it's delicious! Staff are on point and very attentive. For sure, we are coming back. read more

A great option for bagels in the LES! I ordered the Essex on everything, and the tuna mixture had a lovely, nuanced flavor, though I ended up taking the tomato chunk off because it was messing with the balance. Their pumpernickel is very solid, and I'll definitely be back to try the pumpernickel everything. (They were out when I went around 6:15 on a weekday.) With the Yelp, Scoutmob, and Groupon deals available for this place, it's a no-brainer! The kind service was also much appreciated. The worker was alone with a line of 5 people, but she was friendly and apologetic the whole time I waited for my sandwich, while still getting others their various baked goods, too. Nice work! read more

It is absolutely unconscionable to sell a $9 breakfast sandwich that uses liquid eggs from a carton.

I'm a bagel snob and a patriotic American. It pains me to say that I love Canadian bagels better lol. This place was first on my Lower East Side food tour since it was breakfast. I haven't been to this specific section of LES so it was a nice surprise to stumble upon the market...most vendors weren't open yet since it was early. I reviewed the menu and was excited to try some famous nyc bagels. For some reason, i think i ordered the LES but what i was the East Village lol. My bagel = everything, hummus, sprouts, tomato, onion. Whatever that sandwich is, that's what i got. I thought the bagel wasn't fresh. It was toasted, but it was dense..kinda like it was a day old or so. It made it difficult to bite into. The hummus was ok, a bit tangy for my taste but the overall ingredient would work well on regular sandwich bread. The everything bagel wasn't the best i've had. I wish it was loaded up on a lot more spices. If i'm in the area, i'll stop by to try it once more. But this time, i'll keep it simple and order just a bagel. I'll be sure to ask when it was baked too. read more

yummy! my first time at this small bagel shop inside Essex street market. Came here for a to-go bagel but they have some tables and seating as well. simple selection of bagels but lots of different bagel types - sesame, poppy, everything, wheat, plain etc. I got their LES Bagel - lox, lettuce, cream cheese, capers, red onions, tomato. I thought it tasted great, their lox is very fresh (nothing is as good as Russ and Daughters), their red onions were delightfully sweet and they gave me a thick layer of cream cheese. Great price and I checked in on Yelp and got a free Coffee as well (they give you a large cup too!) it wasn't out of this world amazing but it's a solid bagel for satisfying bagel cravings without the long lines! and I must agree with other reviews, come here for the bagel and go to Russ and daughters for the cream cheese, salmon and fillings - it would make the perfect combo read more

Best bagels & breakfast from our whole trip to the city. Fast & EXTREMELY fresh bagels piled high with smoked salmon & the perfect schmear of cream cheese. I kind of think the razor thin slices of onion brought it all together. This is the kind of food that makes you sad to head home. Tip: order the LES, coffee, & o.j. (tastes fresh squeezed). It's enough to feed two people but you won't want to share. Better than any other bakery, brunch, or breakfast joint. Hands down. read more

Really nice breakfast spot inside Essex street market which focuses on bagels and a few sweet treats. The bakery has a great variety of bagels for such a small shop with eggs or cheeses as options. I ordered the veggie omelette with a toasted whole wheat everything bagel. A few minutes later (under five), the bagel was ready. Steamy hot, with melting cheese inside. The eggs where mixed with a good amount of veggies and did not loose any fluffiness. The portion was really well sized as well. The bagel was one of the best I've had around. Good skin from being toasted, heavy yet soft bread underneath. Plenty of seeds and grains on the bagel. Good flavor all the way through. The bagel is about 8$ (comes with a bottle of water, coffee or tea). Comparing it to other top and comparable bagel shops, I think this price is very reasonable. Would recommend for a nice breakfast. Note, that section of Essex market is really cold due to the AC unit near by. It didn't bother me all that much when eating that hot omelette bagel though. read more

I've been going to this bakery for the past 3 years and always had a good experience. However since they moved to the new Essex Market I've witness and experienced terrible customer service. The owner should really take time to observe their workers interaction with the customers, it's disgusting. Half the time the girls working there are in a terrible mood, and project that attitude towards the customer. I recently stopped going and recommend you take a walk a little further to Heaven's Hot Bagels. read more
