Best bagels in Forest Hills! Bagels are always fresh and it's one of the few 'Mom n Pop' shops left in the neighborhood. Good Coffee too! read more

I found the couple behind the counter pleasant. I got a cumin on raisin bagel with cream cheese and an ice coffee. The coffee was fine, standard bagel shop quality. The bagel was fresh but I felt that the flavor was off from how a cinnamon raisin bagel should taste. read more

Heena Bagel - Cinnamon raisin bagel with an ice coffee. - Bakeries Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Very weak bagel spot. Bagels are far below average for NYC. These bagels would maybe be decent in Florida. The service is as cold as a Siberian winter and they use hot dogs for their sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches. No one tells you they use hot dogs, you'll be lucky to get a friendly grunt out of them. A hot dog is very different from a breakfast sausage, they must know that, clearly they are not trying very hard here and trying to pass off the cheapest ingredients they can. Spent $9.75 on a hot dog egg sandwich and orange juice. There are much better options in the neighborhood. I'm impressed this cash only (hmm?) place is still in business. read more

This place has a horrible costumer service. I was waiting in line for a while and the regular customers would just skip the line, so then I will bring my business somewhere else! read more

I'm just gonna be straight forward with this, -this place has good bagels (if u get the order right) I ordered an everything bagel lightly toasted with REGULAR plain cream cheese. I get a burnt everything with VEGETABLE cream cheese. That's already an issue (this isn't even the first time my order was wrong) -next theyre slightly overpriced food being a bagel store in NYC could cut down on the prices a little other than that great bagels just try not to mess up an order I got charged extra cuz of it read more

My wife has visited this establishment before in her search for a good tofu cream cheese, which appareny they have. This morning I decided to take the half mile walk and get my wife what she likes. Upon my arrival an older gentleman gruffly asks me what I want. Before I can finish he turns to someone, barks an order for my bagel and starts talking to someone else. Ok, I say to myself, I guess someone else will finish taking my order. The bagel gets to the toppings lady and she asks me what I want, comments on my unique order and finishes the job. When I arrive home and my wife opens it, it is burnt on top and more completely burnt on the bottom, she is clearly dissappointed, as am I. There are three basic things we all require from the places where we spend our money, a basic level of respect, the most efficient service possible, and a quality product. Michael's seriously failed 2 out of 3 and efficient service is worthless if no one cares about the product so let's make that 3 out of 3. Based on that I have no desire to return to Michael's. read more

The prices are a bit high for a bagel with cream cheese, but the sesame bagel with garlic herb cream cheese is superb. However, at $3.90 for a bagel, it's not something that you'd want to get every day. I also enjoy the chocolate chocolate chip muffins because it is incredibly moist, chocolatey, & more reasonable at $2. I highly recommend Michael's Bagels to anyone! read more

In the area, there are two places to get bagels-here and gotta getta bagel on continental ave. Having been to both, both are delicious and yummy and have their positives. I enjoy this bagel place because it is off the beaten path and is generally calmer and there's also never a line. Located on Ascan Ave and a bit off Austin Street, it is convenient to get to and may be worth the walk if you want a quieter place to go. There are a lot of different bagels and lots of choices of cream cheeses including tofu cream cheeses. The bagels are flavorful and have a great bite to them. The service is incredibly friendly and quick. The only drawback is that they don't make more bagels during the day so when they run out of a certain type of bagel, there aren't any more. However, I forget which day of the week it is or if its everyday-but after a certain hour, the bagels are a reduced price. read more

This is my favorite bagel place in queens. very convenient to where I live. on the weekends I can just walk over and get a fresh fluffy delicious bagel with cream cheese and lox. just perfect. the other bagel places near by do not have the same quality. They make a good cup of coffee. nice couple behind the counter. read more

Bagels Etc. makes one of the best bagels in Queens. These bagels are huge and they taste so goooooooooood! My favorite is their everything bagel and bialys. There spreads are good as well but limited selections. The bagels are the reason to come here. I love this place. The owners are really nice as well. read more

I stopped by because I saw FoodBaby's Instagram of the amazing bacon, egg, and cheese that I had to have it. My mom and I stopped by this afternoon and it was pretty empty. The woman behind the counter was very nice and patient. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel, yum! My mom had the sesame bagel with light cream cheese. She was very accommodating to what my mom wanted. Beware it is only cash! I also saw them make their bagels for tomorrow morning, so they make their own bagels fresh. read more

Heena Bagel - Bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel - Bakeries Near Me - Forest Hills, New York

Honestly these bagel are delicious. I am a big fan of their everything bagel. Their bagels are nice and big. I love the texture of the bagel, the crispiness of the outside. But I can never figure out their hours. When the hell are you open in the mornings? Sometimes I come at 6AM and theyre open and sometimes it's just not................. Bagel stores should be open early...........very early....... read more

There's a bagel shop across the street, I've tried couple times only to feel disappointed since their bagel gets hard like a rock. Once I tried Bagels Etc's, I got addicted!Even next day, their bagel is still soft & moist!! Try their bagel with "everything", I guarantee your satisfaction.(^-^) read more

As good as it gets! I'm in here all the time fattening up for the winter months. You gotta pack on the fat while you can before it's too late. read more

See all

Bagels are good... lox spread is legit. It's a good early morning run for breakfast. It's always funny to see the old grumpy man that works the counter... you might have to tell him your order 5 times since he forgets... buts he's a neighborhood favorite. His grumpiness is funny and brings a smile. read more

I loved the variety of seeds in the everything bagel, but it lacked the fine balance of crispness and chewiness that I like in a bagel. I ordered egg and cheese on mine, but could barely find any cheese inside. read more

This bagel place is staffed mostly by the owner and his wife and I am so glad to support a locally owned and operated business. Their coffee is good, their bagels are great, their service is polite and attentive. When Dunkin opened across the street I felt concern that it would affect this bagel place and I only hope all my neighborhood double their support for Michaels because Dunkin Donuts products are so mass produced and tasteless. read more

Nice little mom-and-pop bagel store a few blocks from my apartment. I initially thought the owner was a bit gruff, but after talking to him for a minute about how long he's been working without a vacation, I realized the poor guy is probably just worn out. He lightened up after that - and his wife always spoils my little boy whenever I bring him in. read more

I've been going to this bagel place for a very long time the bagels are pretty good the prices are a little above average but it's a mom and pop store and I advocate supporting those businesses plus they're pretty friendly, that being said I hate to say this but I just had the worst experience ever in this place I ordered a whole wheat everything bagel scooped out with tofu Cream Cheese 1 slice of onion and some black pepper they had the nerve to charge me $4.60 for this $0.75 for the onion... honestly I'm kind of shocked not to mention it was a horrible bagel, put together in a very sloppy way with hardly any cream cheese and all onion I will not be going back to this place unfortunately read more

The price you pay depends on who takes you from the order. Each day a different price depending worker himself. It's quite annoying! The bagel itself tasty, they have super delicious omelet. Only cash! I do not like it but that's the reality. Street parking is very difficult on Sundays. Beyond all that great place! read more

Classic bagel shop in Forest Hills. Quick service, despite it being crowded often, and great bagels. I like to stop by whenever I get a chance. read more

Delicious bagels. No frills and no smiles. Just delicious bagels. I don't love the BEC here but their cream cheese are all very good.

Bagels are on point. Tried so many in the area and convinced these are the best! Chewy, but not too chewy, delicate crunch on the outside, just the right amount of saltiness, and usually so fresh they are still warm. Only thing I would change is the coffee. The bagels are SO perfect, therefore, they need a higher-end, bold brew to compliment. read more

Great bagel place in Forest hills. I think this place changed names, think it used to be called Bagels Etc. Anyway, great bagels - one of the best in the area. read more

Great Business! Food: Bagels are very good. Not too hard, and not too soft-even if you go towards closing time. Price: Reasonable. Service: Outstanding! I have always found the staff to be helpful, warm, and friendly. (The opposite of Gotta Getta Bagel). Once I was there towards closing time and they even through in a few extra bagels at no charge. read more

This is the worst bagel store in Queens. Rude service plus bland tasteless bagels. One time I went at 830am on a Saturday, they didn't even have any bagels to sell. How is that possible? read more

Every time I get my breakfast here I am charged a different price for the same order, it's just so annoying. The old man behind the counter is super bitter and I sure don't want to deal with negative people early in the morning. Their bagels are ok, nothing special, if anything the bagel spot in 116th and Queens Blvd is much better. read more

I've been a customer for many years and they are pretty consistent with good tasting bagels and good quality ingredients. The owners and staff are pleasant and know their customers. I read some of the negative reviews and find them inconsistent with my experience. However, it's a small place and sometimes the line is out the door. read more

Great bagels and friendly staff. Not a huge selection of food, but has your basic bagels and spreads... even egg and bacon sammies! Never a big line because they are not near the subway stop. A great family-owned shop. read more

There a quite a few bagel places in Forest hills, but this place has the freshest and best bagels and bialys i have tried in FH. A little pricey but you get what you pay for in terms of quality. Try a bagel toasted with your favorite spread, you will not be disappointed. read more

Best bagel place in Forest Hills east of Yellowstone. Nice breakfast special: $3.50 for bagel sandwich and coffee. Really good whole-wheat everything bagel. Friendly owners and clean, no frills shop. read more

Friendly staff. Both quick and attentive. Bagels always taste fresh. Perfect blend of dough, crispness and texture. Whole wheat, whole wheat everything and the bialys are highly recommended. read more

It's incredible that any self respecting New Yorker could think anything more of these bagels than sad, sorry, upstate rolls pretending to be bagels. There is little difference between the bagels here and those across the street at Dunkin Donuts. Now that's sad. While the couple running the joint is kind enough, this place is long overdue for a baker that knows what he's doing. read more

We've gone to many bagel shops in NYC, including some famous ones on the lower east side. This place's bagels taste less tough and are easier to chew (even compared to bagels baked on the same day at other bagel shops). We moved here 6 months ago and have fallen in love with their bagels. We can't get enough of them. They were out of bagels today, and they offered to bake the dozen bagels we wanted fresh. It took 15 minutes. I've never had piping hot fresh bagels. Wow, that was an interesting treat. Here's a local review we found on the web http://foresthills.patch.com/listings/bagels-etc-2 read more

I'm not sure if the reviewers above me have ever been to a real bagel store or if they had ever had a really good bagel because these bagels and stores were certainly not either. The bagels tasted store bought and the store itself was small and cramped. The service was OK at best. I will not be going back even if its really close to my apartment. I would rather walk a little further and be satisfied with my breakfast. It wasn't a one star only because my coffee was pretty good. read more

The tasty bagels get 4 stars. The unfriendly staff and slow service get 2 stars. So 3 stars overall.

Plain bagel with cream cheese and salmon is my favorite! The prices are expensive but at least the bagels are always fresh. Good and fast service. Perfect place for winter days :) read more

No no no no waste of money and terrible bagels please don't go here the bagels are small flat and taste like cardboard.

I ordered a sausage egg and cheese and the 'sausage' turned out to be a hotdog. Who does that on a breakfast sandwich?? Also the bagels were pretty stale. read more
