    Smoked Turkey Hero
    Gab G.

    Ordered lunch for delivery - totkes and a smoked turkey club - and both were fantastic. I've also tried the breakfast wraps and famed cold brew tahini shake numerous times at their WV location. So good!

    The Carmela

    I had to find out what all the rave was about with the Carmela sandwich at Edith's this year! When I saw that this beauty of a bite was making a comeback after selling out, I made sure to get my order in for pick-up the weekend before Thanksgiving. Every nook and cranny on this sandwich was bursting with flavor, and totally lived up to the hype (and I'm not even a huge fan of turkey.) In addition to the sandwich, I also tried the Latkes and Chocolate Babka, which was insanely chocolatey and delicious! While I haven't tried any other items yet, I'm sure they're all equally delicious. If it's still on the menu, run to get your Carmela before it's gone!

    I saw pictures of the coffee slushy and it looked so good and cute that I wanted one too. Sumner is almost ending and today was pretty warm so I decided to go get one. It is pretty expensive but it's worth the price! It cost me around $9 with tax and all. The slushy has tahini, oat milk, and cold brew coffee in it. It looks very cool in the cup. It's brown and white all over the place! Very nice design this slushy makes. I drank it really slow to enjoy this slushy and it was very refreshing. Not overly sweet at all either! It's like mildly bitter sweet! Tastes so good! I will get another one next time I pass by here. It's also cool the lid has a huge opening for the big straw.

    Iced Cafe Slushie with vintage punch card

    Edith's was a hit! We stopped here for an early lunch after a late night and I absolutely would come back. The line was pretty small despite the place being packed, because they move fast. A lot of people carrying out, or eating outside or around in the neighborhood, as there's limited seating inside. First, they are known for their frozen cafe slushie which is basically a frozen coffee. The texture was great and something about frozen coffee is perfect for a hangover. Then, we split the chicken tahini Caesar crunch wrap which was very unique and refreshing. It was like a chicken Caesar but with tahini and kale instead of caesar salad. I wish we had the appetite to try a bagel sandwich with latke, but not this time. But, because it was so good and had fast service, we will be back!

    Went for lunch on Memorial Day - was lucky to avoid the long line that is typical at their west village location. The slushie (not pictured) was truly special as always, however their sandwiches didn't wow us. Smoked turkey hero had fantastic components but was the construction was subpar, and the namesake sandwich was just another Ruben

    Iced Cafe Slushie

    I was skeptical about an overpriced sandwich place but it was great. The ice cafe slush was refreshing and sweet. I also got the BEC&L on an everything bagel (not pictured) and that was great as well - loved the house sauce on this. Only gripe was it was a bit overpriced (as with a lot of things in the city), the meal ran me about $25. They also don't have any seating, except for a measly two chairs out on the storefront. A lot of people just end up loitering at nearby stores or stoops.

    Sephardi Breakfast Wrap
    Pratima M.

    Easily one of my new favorite breakfast spots in the city -- the Sephardi Wrap was delicious, super filling and I appreciated the flexibility to sub avocado to make it vegetarian. The Latke Tots were super crispy, would definitely get the share!

    Finally, after all this time of peering at the speckled oat milk tahini iced coffee slushie on socials, the stars aligned (meaning the traffic wasn't crazy for once) and I sucked that caffeinated bev down full knowing I had to wake up early for work the next morning. There were crunchy ice crystal moments, tempered by the smooth and bitter (contradicting?), nutty tahini. And no, I'm not an animal and I didn't pair my coffee with their Perfect Tuna Melt--the tuna was enjoyed at home after the cheeses had cooled down a little. The sandwich travels well on griddled seedy rye but for $15, I'm finding that I can make a tuna sandwich just as good. Dollar for dollar, the tuna melt here, the tuna sandwich at Radio Bakery, the tunaberry and yasha at Court Street Grocers, and the tuna melt and tunaberry at S&P lunch, and the tuna melt at Golden Diner are all great options if you're unable to source great bread and tuna. At $15, the Edith's tuna melt is the second cheapest of the listed sandwiches (Radio Bakery checks in at $14.50, but is not grilled). The totkes are worth trying however you can probs skip the Cooper's sharp cheese sauce. Their cheese sauce is made from scratch and could benefit from a touch more of sodium citrate and a longer cook--the sauce cooled down and felt a little grainy.

    Oat milk and tahini slushy

    I'm not sure how this place doesn't have a full five stars. The staff is very friendly. I am a big breakfast person and I go out to eat often a very good judge of food. This place has the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had in New York City. By far the best scrambled eggs I've ever tasted. Highly recommend recommended very unique menu, traditional, breakfast items, and sandwiches, but everything has a twist.

    Had the Edith & the Sephardi, also tried the coffee tahini slush, latke and choco chip cookies. The wait for food was about 30mins after ordering so we came back. We enjoyed the sandwiches but the Edith's bread was a bit too crunchy and greasy for my liking, but their pastrami is good (meaty and not too salty). The Sephardi is worth the hype though, the exterior is super flakey, reminds me of a scallion pancake. I would pass on the coffee tahini slush next time. The cookies were soooo thin, very crispy, chewy & buttery, I would get again. Would def come back to try more items on their menu!

    I was disappointed in the quality of the pastrami sandwich! Too fatty and a thick cut! I guess this isn't their best option.

As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

I asked for their advice on what kind of lox to order and they cut me a healthy slice to try of each. And the lox is to die for.

And yes ~$60/pound is expensive, but it's artisan, hand carved and they even cut out the little bit of blood line so every bit is perfect. It's worth the splurge every once in a while.

It was about a 20 minute wait from enter the shop, grabbing a ticket, waiting for your number to be called, ordering the sandwich, getting the food and paying. Waiting for your number to be called happens faster than you think as people do drop out like flies, so just be patient. If you order yourself a Classic Bagel & Lox Sandwich ($17) like I did, you can watch them filet the salmon fresh from the fish itself to be used just for your sandwich. I did everything bagel and choose Scallion cream cheese, which seems like the popular choice. It's good enough to go out of the way to try once in your life. To be a repeat customer, idk if I want to wait in line for this every weekend. Additionally, there's no seating besides the benches that's outside. I do have to give it to them, among the chaos, the employee that helped me was super friendly. I also saw some of the customers get salmon samples of the salmon for the lox. Idk if they asked or the employee just happened to be offering it.

It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say.
