    Loxury Double Sandwich: Double Sliced Lox, Cucumber Dill Cream Cheese, Tomato, Onion, Caper, w/ Lemon on the Side
    Tiffany P.

    My friend was on a mission to find the best Brooklyn bagels. Knickerbocker definitely nailed the chewy, dense bagel. That said, the toasted bagels came out cold. A little confusing. I ordered the Loxury Double Sandwich, but my sandwich didn't really look like it got the "double lox" memo. It was a decent bagel sandwich. One thing I loved was the giant refrigerator of drinks. There was so much variety! I was especially excited to spot Korean milk drinks, which felt like a fun little surprise. Sipping on the taro flavor was a happy way to end brunch!

    Very busy spot on a Sunday morning. Ordering took 20 minutes additional 20 for food prep. The three ofnus grabbed a table while we waited. There is plenty of indoor seating available. I tried a Luxory bagel on everything bagel. The bagel is thick nice crust, mellow flavor and very filling. My sandwich was loaded with avacado and super tasty. I also brought home a blueberry bagel for tomorrow. The sandwich cost 20$ the bagel 2$.

    The staff is amazing and always great vibes. The food is delicious 6.5 out of 10 times we have had some hiccups which is normal no place is perfect!!! They do try to fix things right away!! However the prices are a little much sandwich $10.95 + $1 hero + $1.10 tomatoes + $2.75 avacado(understandable) is $16 change is $4 over priced. I didn't want to get a beverage after. We have to be more reasonable for the clients if you want them to purchase more.

    First off this place was packed so it a popular eatery. IMO, the bagels were just okay. They say they boiled but the 2 dozen we had were soft like a roll.

    Great spot for bagels, I used to go whenever I was in the area . On a recent visit i saw that they have lots more items on the menu. - sandwiches, soups etc. They were near closing time so I picked up my TGTG order. they have a generous Too Good To Go offer - about 8 to12 assorted bagels . The bagels are great quality and delicious. Seating available. I must stop by to dine in and try the other menu items.

    I was absolutely blown away by this meal! Fresh, flavorful bagels with ANYTHING YOU WANT! Don't forget the cream cheese!!! Special shoutout to the iced hazelnut coffee YUMMY!

    $18 for a bagel is crazy, especially for a sliver of lox. Definitely not worth $18. Workers are nice. Lots of places to sit and eat.

    I think these may be the best bagels in Brooklyn. I'm almost regretting typing this since it means I'll have to officially give up gate keeping this spot. The bagels have a perfect chew, they're crispy on the bottom, and pillowy fresh in the center. Just get a dozen bagels with a few shmears and thank me later. Today I ordered a bagel with lox and the dill and cucumber cream cheese was reminiscent of tzatziki in the best way. If you're a bagel person, please order from here! PS: The earlier you order the better the selection! Oh, and the whitefish spread is sooo good.

    Everything bagel with plain cream cheese
    Tommy C.

    Very solid bagel spot. Got an everything bagel (untoasted) with plain cream cheese to try and it was great. The bagel seasoning was perfect and not too salty like a lot of places are. The cream cheese was light and fluffy and the cheese to bagel ratio was perfect. Will definitely be back soon!

    Food was great and service was good as well wait time was about five minutes. Not bad considering the restaurant was busy at 930 in the morning.

    I would say it was a 3.5/5 for me more than a 4, but I did round up because 3 is too low. I ordered an everything bagel, toasted with lox cream cheese. Although I appreciate the amount of cream cheese they gave me, for me personally, it was too much. I went a second time and ordered light cream cheese, and still got way too much. The taste of the everything bagel was slightly salty but not too bothersome. The texture of the bagel was incredible, perfectly fluffy! I want to give a special mention to the system they have in place. Other bagel shops in NY can be quite overwhelming when going up to order, but I greatly appreciate all the signs they have. I did have a short wait on Sunday afternoon but Monday afternoon there was no wait at all. Staff was friendly and place has seating. I did notice there is an extensive food menu, but I was only interested in the bagels.

    The American Grinder
    Taylor H.

    I've been wanting to try Knickerbocker for a while as I've heard so many amazing things! Ordered the loxury plain and the American grinder. The bagels here are good, your typical dense yeasty bagels. I always forget to ask for my bagels toasted so this review is based on a non-toasted bagel. Loxury plain - SO good, but wish there was more lox. Even though when I ate it the ratio of filling was satisfactory, a bit more lox would have been nice. I felt like sometimes I would just get mouthfuls of tomato, onion, and CC. American grinder - this was ok. The meat was not super seasoned so I feel like it was missing a bit of flavor which is disappointing because they PACK on the meat. Also wish they would put more dressing to make it less dry. Overall, would come back if I was in the area but wouldn't travel far for it.

    Some of their spreads

    Good bagels. Big and fluffy. They do a high volume of bagels. Only good bagel place in this side of bushwick that makes their own bagels. Price can add up if you get lox etc. If you like the big round style of bagels then this is your jam. They have fresh squeezed OJ and seating inside. Also delivers.

    Too expensive for very mediocre, maybe even below, quality. Fine for coffee but sandwiches are too overpriced

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.

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.
