    Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwich
    Ashley M.

    Awesome spot with incredible sandwiches. Bagels are not too chewy, perfectly sized, and are a great base to any of the sandwiches. Cream cheese is super creamy and rich, I liked that it wasn't so tangy. There's probably nothing on this menu that isn't great!

    Such a cute spot with amazing specialty bagels! Everything was incredibly fresh, especially the heirloom tomatoes, they were so sweet and delicious. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Loved everything about this place, such a lovely find !

    Wowowow I never knew this place existed but I much prefer this over Federoff's! I'm a big fan of NYC deli culture and this place is definitely the vibe I know and love. Friendly workers and amazing sandwiches, what's not to love? I didn't know how amazing they were until I ate them but the sandwiches are large sort of like Katz's deli but a fraction of the price. I ordered Anita's hot brisket sandwich and the Turkey Reuben! Wow this hot brisket sandwich + the Russian dressing is a match made in heaven I honestly didn't know how creamy and yummy everything could be and each bite I just wanted more. I absolutely would say ask for more Russian dressing and the challah on the outside is phenomenal. The turkey Reuben is a must with mustard, hot sauce and Russian dressing as well I absolutely killed this thing and I almost saw god. This sandwich is basically my new favorite sandwich and it's so simple and so real. The chocolate babka was ok it's not as good as breads bakery but who knows what is as good as breads bakery???? They really pushed the bar high for fellow choc babka. They only have two tables for eating so I would say snag it if you have a chance on a warm day you want to eat it as fresh as possible!

    Pretty underwhelming food for the high price. We got two bagels (one veggie cream cheese and one with meat) and a coffee for $35. Neither of the sandwiches had any flavour, except maybe the strange vinegar taste on the cream cheese. Both bagels had a hint of coconut oil which was off-putting. The employees were very nice. Clean place. Outdoor seating was good on a warm day.

    Frankel's had been on my to try list for a long time, and I finally checked it out this past weekend when I spent a day in Greenpoint. I got their Frankel's #1 Bagel (pastrami salmon, scallion cream cheese, and dill cucumber salad on a poppy bagel), which was great. The cucumber salad kept it a little light - a great combination with the pastrami lox, cream cheese, and bagel. Frankel's is really cute inside - just a few barstools in the store windows. I enjoyed eating my bagel and reading my book in the sunlight of their shop. And the service was great - friendly and fast. I'll be back, because I want to try all of their other bagels... Smoked salmon tartare? Heirloom tomato bagel? And I have to try their classic - pastrami, egg, and cheese, which looks incredible but I wasn't quite up to on my visit last weekend. So, yeah, I'll be back.

    Can't speak on the service or overall vibe of the place as food was delivered to me by my friend. I went simple, pastrami sandwich, mustard on the side. Hands down THE BEST PASTRAMI I have had in a long time. So tender and perfect for my delicate stomach. NOT salty.. but full of flavor. Not dry... juicy! And the best part... not fatty!!! I picked this sandwich apart to actually get through eating half... and only one sliver of fat... amazing quality!!! The mustard was sooo good and the accompanying pickle just added to the excitement. How this place has been here so long and I haven't tried it is beyond me... but now they have a new customer! Up next I have to try the Lox.. but for now 5 stars on the pastrami!

    Got the heirloom tomato sandwich on an everything bagel. The toppings were 5 stars but the bagel itself was 3 stars (maybe 4 to some but hey, this is NYC). Cute place, packed on a Saturday morning!

    Anita's hot brisket sandwich
    Sam S.

    Came here today and it was very crowded inside, a bit chaotic, but luckily the line moved fast. I ordered the Anita's hot brisket sandwich. I was hoping that the griddled bread would be crispier, but unfortunately it was soggy even right when I got it. The meat itself was alright but could have been a bit more flavorful. The sandwich was a decent size, but not quite enough to fill me for lunch. Overall, it was definitely a bit pricey (about $26 including tax) and I probably wouldn't come back.

    Frankel's came highly recommended from several people and I'm glad I got to try! They have an adorable storefront featuring lots of cute little products. Their special of the day was egg everything, and I'm glad I tried it! It may be because of the egg, but the bagel was a big flakier than I am used to. Definitely a solid bagel place and

    I have been to try Frankel's for the past five years and I now finally got the chance! The deli is at the corner, and it has some indoor and outdoor seating. There are lots of branded decor inside, and overall has a welcoming atmosphere. When I walked in, the cashier greeted me and I placed my order. I got a Pastrami Ruben, sauce on the side, with lettuce, tomato, spinach, and onion. The food came relatively quick, and I sat down to enjoy my meal. The sandwich was incredible! It was so warm and balanced with all the vegetables. Every bite was delicious and the pastrami was not too salty. The staff overall were so nice, and I had a beautiful time. I will definitely come back again!

    Heirloom tomato bagel
    Jaclyn F.

    The heirloom bagel is hands down the most refreshing guilt-free bagel I've had in a really long time. Such fresh ingredients and both aesthetically tasting and beautiful to look at. I find a vegetarian sammy to be rather sacrilegious but this was a showstopper, and far exceeded any other pastrami or lox sandwiches I've tried in the past. A+

    Relatively small establishment however staff is huge on courtesy. I tried their famous hot pastrami on rye with mustard and boy I was simply blown away. Each bite was super tender, juicy and so flavorful. I was also impressed the rye bread did not fall apart easily. Definitely a must visit and it's definitely a top five pastrami sandwich in NYC.

    Came to grab a bagel sandwich for a quick brunch in Greenpoint and was excited to try the Frankel's #1 with pastrami salmon, dill cucumber salad and cream cheese. I opted for the tofu scallion cream cheese which is vegan for a lighter option. Loved everything about this sandwich, the everything bagel I got was well seasoned and nicely toasted. The pastrami lox is flavorful and there's a ton of cucumber salad to balance out the carbs. The tofu cream cheese in particular is such a nice substitute for a lighter bagel sandwich and it's surprisingly creamy as well! I also grabbed a slice of their chocolate babka for $4 which made for a nice sweet treat. They also sell full babka loads but the slice is more than enough to satisfy any chocolate craving. Pro tip: order online for a faster pick up. We ended up waiting 20 min on a busy weekend morning to get our sandwiches after ordering.

    I mean there's a reason they've been around as long as they have. This is old school jewish deli…read morelove in the best way possible. 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. The nova is the classic, but also got some gravlax and the pastrami lox. All had their unique flavors that were distinctly different. Amazing! 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. I will say though the bagels there were just meh unfortunately. Kinda average and on this day below average if you ask me. So ideal...get your bagel somewhere else like Bagel Pub or Utopia and then get your lox here!

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.

    I was in the neighborhood looking for a bagel place to eat and a nice person recommended this spot…read more So I went there to try them out. 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. Ambiance: 3/5 standers bagel shop nothing really impressive or spectacular. I will say when in the area due to the lack of places to eat that make REAL food. I have come back here and the bagels have been decent. Would like the staff to be more pleasant.
