    Bacon, Egg and Cheese
    Casidy R.

    Very quick and yummy. The service was great with the kindest employees. It is very small and not a lot of seating but a easy grab and go stop for sandwiches and coffee

    We stumbled upon this great spot! Saturday afternoon at 3:30, not overly busy as we were able to find a table to sit at. Huge menu selection, something for everyone and the staff was so accommodating to our requests. Very clean and well stocked with to go options of drinks, snacks and bakery goods.

    I'll be back! 08/02/21

    Gourmet Bagel on Lexington Avenue hit the spot today. I intended to return after seeing it earlier this month. What a pretty place with nice employees. It's clean and well stocked with many items. There's a really nice seating area in back. The arrangement for ordering, pick up, and check out with the cashier, is very clearly marked. There's no confusing line to order at Gourmet Bagel. The men behind the counter are very nice too. I looked over the bagel and cream cheese selection and decided on my favorite flavor Pumpernickel. The cream cheese selection is definitely Gourmet. I decided to try the Olive and Capers. When he handed me the bagel I saw it was huge through the tinfoil. I thought $4.50 was a reasonable price. The inside tables and chairs are clean. There's several garbage cans. They provided three good size napkins. I couldn't wait to see the bagel. I took my bag over and sat at a table inside. Wow, the bagel was huge. There's enough cream cheese for my liking too and it was delicious. For the first time in my life I couldn't finish the bagel. I scooped out the inside and left some of the crust. Next time I visit I'll be sure I'm really hungry! Before I left I asked if they had a bathroom. The nice man behind the counter showed me a hidden space. It did say Employees Only on the door but he showed me where they keep the key. If you need to use it just ask them. Like I keep saying these people are nice and I felt comfortable here. Their AC is working well too! I wish I lived closer. I'm definitely recommending you try Gourmet Bagel.

    everything bagel FRESH

    They brought me a fresh out of the oven bagel! The bagel was warm, soft, but not the density was not what I was looking for. It was a little dryer but toppings were great. $1.75/bagel and 5.56 oz.

    Egg white and cheese with a hidden piece of glass

    Ordered here for the first time earlier this week. I had a basic egg white and cheese sandwich, and I found a large piece of glass in the egg... I nearly swallowed it, and thankfully I didn't. Ordered through Grubhub and got a full refund.

    solid bagel in the upper east side! kind of pricey but had really good amount of cream cheese. bagel was pretty chewy and fresh

    Garlic and Herb Cream Cheese avocado lettuce tomato  wheat bagel

    I am traved in nyc. And stop by here at first for restroom. I got the blue moon and garlic&herb avocado tomato lettuce wheat bagel. It totally like 20$ The view here I really like. Eating bangle and my smooth in nyc street and do the people watch. That's so chill, I recommend solo eat here. Blue moon It taste good for me. Not that sweet but sweet enough, it taste more like banana and apple. I like it. Health and taste. I get the small one. I feel like enough if you order a bagel. Cuz I left half bagel. And can't finish my smooth Bagel I feel like lol the bread not big deal. If you want cheap just do plain one. But the spread is nice. If you like savory go ahead and order it lol. For me I feel just spread boring so I add some veggies. But the lettuce not look like fresh. I like the spread. The bagel is just fine.

We got the Banter Bowl, which includes pickled carrot, cabbage, watermelon radish, cucumber, edamame, avocado, quinoa, and miso ponzu dressing. You have a choice of meats, so we chose the grilled chicken. Second, we ordered the falafel bowl that includes three falafels, pickled onions, avocado, cucumber, whipped garlic feta, kale salad, romesco, and Za'atar dressing that had a delicious flavor. However, our ultimate favorite had to be the Thai Crunch Wrap with sweet potato fries. It was fairly busy, and our drinks took a while to come, but the food arrived shortly after. The next time I'm back, I will be sure to reorder the Thai crunch wrap. If you have food allergies, they are extremely accommodating and have numerous vegan/vegetarian/GF.

The green juice was so refreshing and the fries were delicious and the aioli paired with it was perfection.

Pickled veggies, fresh falafel, the works. The waffle was also delicious and it had an addicting maple-butterscotch sauce that kept us coming back (I wish I ordered one just for myself it was that good). Can't wait to come back, Banter Brunch days will definitely be a part of my routine.

The dining room was extremely hot, and there didn't appear to be any air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable throughout the meal. The food also took quite a while to arrive. I ordered a tequila mule, but it was lacking flavor and was underwhelming. For my entrée, I ordered the steak medium well, but it came out medium rare. Despite being undercooked, the steak was surprisingly tough and chewy, and it did not seem like a quality cut of meat considering the price. The waiter was friendly and provided good service, which was the highlight of the visit. However, due to the uncomfortable atmosphere, slow food service, disappointing drink, and poor-quality steak, I would not recommend dining here.

It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

It was our first time eating at a Friedman's location. It had a nice diner feel to it, with a mix of booths and tables. The brunch menu has a variety of breakfast items, salads, sandwiches and burgers, starters, and entrees (fish tacos, grain bowl, fried chicken). I like that several of the items are naturally gluten free, and some can be made gluten free by request. We decided to go with three breakfast items from the brunch menu: I got the shakshuka, my sister got the Nova Benny, and we got the lemon ricotta pancakes to share. All 3 dishes were great. The shashuka came with grilled ciabatta, perfect for dipping into the sunny side eggs and tomato sauce. My sister loved that the poached eggs and smoked salmon of the Nova Benny came on top of a crispy potato latke. The pancakes were fluffy and the lemon ricotta and lemon zest elevated their flavor. Our server was friendly and attentive, and he asked us if we had any allergies when he took our order. He came by several times to check on us and refill water.
