    that's Brooklyn bagel
    Josephine M.

    Brooklyn bagel is real. I stopped by to grub a quick bite before heading to the airport. There are so many options of cream cheese spread and I couldn't decide which one to go with. The staff was very friendly by making recommendations and offering samples. I ended up with the Jalapeno & Cheddar. The bagel had a great texture: chewy interior and slightly crisp crust. Highly recommended!

    Treated Poorly at La Bagel Delight Despite Being a Paying Customer Today I went to La Bagel Delight (284 7th Ave, Brooklyn) and purchased a can of Celsius and a Coke, totaling $5.74. I paid $6 out of pocket, took my drinks, and left -- not because of any mistake I made, but because I was overwhelmed by the staff's complete lack of compassion, basic understanding, and professionalism. As someone living with a disability, being dismissed, misunderstood, and made to feel like a burden is exhausting. I tried explaining my situation clearly and calmly, but they showed no empathy, no effort to understand, and certainly no apology for how they handled it. Not even an ounce of decency to acknowledge what happened. This place is right across from a hospital, where people -- especially disabled folks like me -- are more likely to stop in. The fact that the staff are so untrained in basic respect and human decency is upsetting and unacceptable. I hope the management seriously considers staff training in disability awareness, because I wouldn't want anyone else to leave feeling the way I did today.

    Super cute neighborhood sandwich spot with fresh sliced meat and cheese to order. Staff is funny and friendly! Amazing vibes and delicious food.

    Needed bagels and saw this place had good reviews and was close to Dumbo. Glad we stopped in and grabbed food. The bagels were perfectly soft and the cream cheese was plentiful.

    My friend lives down the street, loves this place, and says it's very special for locals. Manager and cashier were great but prices are steeps. I had avocado on a pumpernickel bagel and it was perfect. The bagels are dense, doughy, chewy, and are the perfect size and thickness. It's two blocks from Prospect Park so it's perfect to grab a bagel and eat at the park.

    Gas, fire, delectable, all of the above. Quick and amazing service. I got the protein bagel w egg white. They also have jalapeño and cilantro cream cheese that SLAPS

    Our receipt, indicating 3 bagels and 1 salt with strawberry cream cheese.

    Good bagels, poor and inaccurate service. There's nothing like calling a restaurant to notify them you did not receive what you ordered, and to ask if they could possibly send the correct item, but not even being able to get the sentence out. The woman on the phone kept insisting "you didn't order that." I explained to her that I was looking at my receipt and I ordered and paid for 3 bagels, but one of the bagels was wrong and could they please deliver it? But she did not want to hear it. She continued to argue with me until I hung up. Very disappointed in the lack of service and the inability of the person on the phone to allow me to finish a sentence.

    Turkey Sausage, Cheese and Egg on a Bagel
    Justin L.

    Stopped by this bagel place as we were hungry on our way to the Barnes & Nobles nearby and ordered a turkey sausage, egg and cheese bagel. The staff were nice and the bagel was good but I have to take a star off due to the confusing menu pricing structure and lack of prices on the beverages on the fridge. I wish they would include the pricing on the drinks because I got an orange juice and I felt incredibly ripped off. Just feel like this location is way overpriced for what it is offering. 4% discount if you pay in cash by the way

    Bad customer service, the food is mediocre and bland. You can get a bagel from nicer people somewhere else.

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.

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.

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.
