    ows bagels in front of a store
    Shoshana R.

    I happened to venture to BK twice this holiday weekend. On Sunday morning I found myself crossing the Williamsburg bridge on a very empty stomach. As I made the left I approached a red light and happened to see a very bustling shop with tons of foot traffic in and out. Just so happened to be an available parking spot right in front. I merged right, parked and ventured inside. This place was so busy, the regulars were familiar with the routine, the newbie (me) quickly adapted. I found the order counter, briefly read the menu board as I placed my order, grabbed a drink and headed to the payment counter. I paid and waited for my order to be called. Extremely busy but efficient, the staff was very friendly, they could tell I just strolled in. A small store, think bodega, where you can grab and go. However, on a nice day you can sit right out front on some tree wrapped benches. Once my order was called I headed back to the car. I had a piping hot Everything Egg Bagel with scrambled eggs, honey turkey & tomatoes and a Natalie's Tangerine Juice. Extremely filling, it definitely hit the spot and helped to fuel my very long day. I would definitely return whenever I am exiting off the bridge on an empty stomach. Just A Note: Parking does not seem like it will be easily accessible on a regular basis (ie: week days / morning rush hour)

    Variety of bagels

    Delicious and soft thick bagels. I only ever order bagels from here and some small sample cream cheese spreads at times. I've gotten the strawberry spread and vegetable spread. By far so good and delicious on a nice toasted bagel. I have a big household and their bagels hold with softness and freshness for days at a time. I don't even have to refrigerate them to maintain freshness. I just put them in a brown bag and close it. I've eaten 3-4 day old bagels that still had super soft texture to it. My favorite bagel is the egg bagel. I've gotten so many varieties of bagels it's truly hard to choose which is best. I highly recommend.

    Was visiting a friend in Williamsburg and was craving a lox bagel on a Sunday morning at 9am. You'd be surprised by how many businesses open late on Sundays but thankfully this place was open. So glad to have found this place because the bagel hit the spot so well- cream cheese, lox, tomato, onions. Mhmmm nothing starts the day off better than eating this and enjoying the view from Domino Park. They took my order, worked on it, and handed me a copy of the receipt to pay at the other counter. I think it's a good system prep and payment is separated, makes it super efficient.

    I'd give Have-a-Bagel a 3.5! Pros: -Massive bagels. I have not had many small bagels in NY, but these were even bigger than I'm used to! -Quick service. I placed my order for pickup as I was a couple minutes walking distance away. By the time I got to Have-a-Bagel, my order was ready. Granted, I didn't get the bagel toasted. But still, I was impressed! -Classic bagel shop feel. I like when there are no frills, not trying to be trendy, etc. Also, the tomato and onion toppings were free, which is something to appreciate when some bagel shops charge you. Cons: -Hard to find any lox in the lox spread. This was specific to my order -- I got lox spread on a whole wheat everything bagel, but I could barely find the bits of lox. -Prices. I was planning to get a lox sandwich, but after seeing the prices, I opted for the spread. Overall, I'd come here again and probably just get scallion cream cheese instead. I really liked the bagel itself and hope to find the perfect order in the future.

    Egg Everything with Cream Cheese
    Mike M.

    How have I not heard of Have-A-Bagel?! Hands down this place has THE BEST bagels in Brooklyn. Change my mind. I stopped in today and got my usual which was an egg everything with cream cheese and a small coffee. The bagel had that perfect crust which makes or breaks a bagel for me. Light crisp on the crust but won't cut up your mouth. Inside nice and carry and overall tasted great. Not cheap on the seeds or schmear either. The coffee was also a pretty good and better than some other bagel stores mud that they call coffee. They brew Brooklyn Roasting Company coffee which was my first time trying that brand. Will definitely look into trying more from that roaster. Tight little place but clean and the workers seem alright. EAT HERE!

    Lox Sandwich
    Jessica W.

    Great bagel spot in Brooklyn! We got a lox sandwich on an everything bagel which came with lox, capers, cream cheese, onions and tomatoes. The bagel was super soft and chewy while the filling was the perfect ratio and tasted like it was very high quality. Would definitely come again!

    Original lox bagel

    Shit was gas. I stayed at a hotel near by and got it for breakfast two days in a row. I got the original lox bagel both times. Was $19 though

    I will always go out of my way to get a bagel from this place. I went and ordered a coffee and bagel for a quick breakfast, and boy did they deliver. It's pretty simple- walk in and order what you want. They get what you need out to you in no time. I will definitely be back here next time I am in the Williamsburg area!

    I really only have one thing to say. This place kicks Bagelsmith's little over-priced, crusty butt.

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.

Their bagels respect a smaller, traditional size standard that retains a tight, chewy crumb with a glossy, snappy exterior that structurally anchors the fish without collapsing under pressure. The structural integrity of their sandwich is flawless because the fish is hand-sliced by master cutters who understand grain physics. The salmon melts away on the bite at the exact same velocity as the cream cheese and the chewy bagel skin, preventing the interior ingredients from violently squirting out the back of the sandwich. This place is piece of actual New York history that treats engineering and ingredients with respect.
