    Breakfast time

    Of course, like any tourist in Williamsburg with its Jewish heritage, we had to try the bagels! Since lox and cream cheese is de rigeur, that's what I ordered along with a must-have coffee to go with. It didn't disappoint! Nice fresh slices of smoked salmon, along with tangy cream cheese made the world right again. I can see why NYC is famous for this treat as it's worth trying if you haven't and we definitely tried it again in those couple days while in the area. Bonus is that we found parking right in front of this great spot!

    Have-A-Bagel is a tiny little bodega in Williamsburg that's all about the bagels--and they do them really well. You can technically grab snacks or drinks here too, but most people are clearly coming for the bagels. I got two: - Everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. It was delicious. A classic and comforting, but I do wish it had a bit more cheese. - Plain bagel with cream cheese, lox, avocado, and (supposed to be no onion). They added onion anyway, but I just took it off and wow... the bagel was amazing. Soft, fresh, and it basically melts in your mouth. I'd absolutely get it again. No tables inside, just a bench outside, but it works if you're grabbing something quick. The staff was really nice, and service was fast. All in all, a great little neighborhood spot. Simple, tasty, and exactly what you want when you're craving a good bagel.

    ows bagels in front of a store

    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)

    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.

    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!

    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!

The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

    Very disappointed with this spot and was rudely accused of not paying the bill!…read more Came here extremely excited to try out their birthday cake tiramisu and check out the restaurant in general since it had been on my list for a while. While the place is pretty cute aesthetically, the service was awful. I had made a reservation since that's what's recommended by the establishment and everyone we interacted with was pretty unpleasant. In addition, the cake tasted old and so freezer burnt that we had one bite and discarded the rest. Nothing about it was appealing. Worst of all no one seemed to want to wait on us so we spent the whole time trying to flag someone down so we left cash on the table for everything and left. Dispute all this we decided to still tip 30% since our order was so small and we wanted to be courteous. 15 mins later I get an extremely rude phone call from the restaurant immediately accusing me of leaving without paying! They didn't even have the decency to check the table without immediately assuming and being unbelievable disrespectful. Still in disbelief about the entire experience, would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

I first ordered a chai latte and he said I could do two different syrups so I got the pumpkin and salted maple, though I was worried about it being too sugary so he suggested I could just do half a pump of each. He asked me what the name of the order would be and I said "Aida" (the phonetic spelling is ah-EE-dah). And then I heard the other barista say something along the lines of, "oh Aida, how about 'Aida' rather not be here", pretty rude if you ask me. And then I ordered the spicy nook sandwich. And when another server called my named to grab it she didn't even knowledge me when I tried to thank her and instead she talked to her coworker while I was right in front of her. The sandwich was really good, so was my chai tea. I really like the pumpkin and salt and maple syrups too. I did like all the options for seating although it was pretty packed. I'd say if you have a big party get there early. By 7pm the whole place was filled. There was a huge majong club that came in and took the whole back area, it was so crammed there were lines for the bathroom. Over all I had a good time. I really like the music too just know it gets very busy in there. The employees I would say were hit or miss. The ones that were great though I really liked. Just seem like the ones who didn't really give attention to customers or were kind of rude seemed like they didn't wanna be there.
