I still think about the moment when I first bit into my bagel. I want another one now. Located in the Financial District, this bagel shop is literally a order n go. There's no seating at all, or any nearby as a matter of fact. I ordered a create your own with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, garlic & herb cream cheese on an everything bagel. Savored every single bite. My friend ordered the bacon egg and cheese also on an everything bagel and she loved it as well. Service was efficient and friendly so that was appreciated. Thank you Yelp for leading me to this wonderful goodness. read more

Bagels are my obsession and always try new spots around the world! Another gem hidden in the financial district. Although a hole in the wall but has loads of freshness with several bagels and schmears of course until they run out! No place to sit so it's always a to go thing. Definitely a must try read more

We went to the Financial District location and it was just a window that you order at. There was a small line at 11:30 am on a Saturday. We only waited a few minutes. It was very quick! We chose this place because they had gluten free bagels for my family. They were very happy! I ordered a chai latte with oat milk, it was very tasty!! Love the green gingham design! The workers were very nice! We stayed at the Aloft hotel and our sandwiches were still very warm when we got back to the hotel. read more

Leon's Bagels was such a special experience for us. When the staff found out it was my son's birthday, they truly went above and beyond. They were so warm, kind and genuinely excited for him and surprised him with a free birthday bagel which absolutely made his day. In a busy city, that kind of kindness means everything. 10/10 Great bagels, even better service. We'll definitely remember this place. read more

Great food. Ordered breakfast bagel sandwich with bacon and hot honey. It was fantastic. Price was not too crazy but you get a lot of food. Service was quick enough. Would recommend read more

I went to the Financial District location because I didn't want to deal with the long lines in SoHo lol -- and yes, there was no line at all here! I ordered a BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) on an everything bagel with chili crisp. It was around $16-18, not exactly sure, but I can tell you right now -- this is definitely shareable. If you eat the whole thing yourself, you probably won't have room for anything else the rest of the day. We waited about 8-10 minutes, which isn't bad at all, especially since it's such a popular spot. The bagel came out piping hot. The cheese was super melty and stretchy, and they were very generous with the filling. The chili crisp adds great flavor, but it can get a little messy. The bagel itself is huge. Totally worth trying -- and even better when you don't have to wait in a long line. read more

Really solid bagels!! They're pretty fluffy and not dense at all. I love how easy it is to just order online and quickly be able to pick up your order. And it's so so easy to just customize your order however you want, which isn't always the case for most places. read more

Amazing bagels in FiDi! Tried this place out a few weeks ago on a trip to NYC. Line wasn't too long, waited maybe 15 minutes. The shop itself is pretty small and next to a coffee shop (smart move on their part). We tried a chicken sausage egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel, which was amazing. We also tried another everything bagel with the herb spread, which was also awesome. The cream cheese was packed on thick, which I loved, but so much so that I was able to take some of the cream cheese and put it on the egg and cheese bagel and make a truly incredible combo. I did, in fact, take a nap afterwards. Solid morning, would highly recommend this bagel shop. read more

Came here around 11am on a Friday and the line wasn't crazy & it moved pretty quickly thankfully. I tried an everything egg bagel with garlic & herb cream cheese and it was very very good. The texture/flavor of the bagel was spot on and the cream cheese was exactly what you hope for. Try this place out! read more

Great little breakfast stop! If you're staying at the Artezen Hotel, Leon's Bagels is just a 5-minute walk and super close to the subway and the Oculus. I love that their bagels are on the softer side -- perfect for breakfast and not too heavy. Highly recommend stopping here to start your day. Tip: order online on your way over and pick up at the window so you don't have to wait outside, especially in the winter! Prices might vary. Fyi: this location is just a window, no seating. I recommend taking your bagel to-go and sitting in a nearby coffee shop or walking to City Hall Park. read more

Really enjoyed this bagel! Heard I had to try the lox, and it didn't disappoint. The line will seem daunting, but it moves pretty quickly. They also give complimentary postcards, so you can send one out if you're on vacation. read more

Leon’s Bagels - Classic Lox Sandwich on everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I came here last month for the first time since this place is very new. It looked very cool and nice. Looked like a white patio deck at the beach from the outside. Did not really fit the block well when I saw it. No wonder this stood out in my eyes while I was walking on John Street. I decided to give it a try with their bagels and coffee since it looked nice and they have a variety of bagels. I didn't realize you can insert cream cheese spread and lox until I saw the menu. I got myself a whole wheat everything bagel, egg everything bagel, and an iced latte. The iced latte had a flagrant and aromatic coffee taste that was very enjoyable. I loved the egg everything bagel. It was fresh and easy to break off. My teeth did not have to struggle to chew the bagel into pieces. I got weak teeth so the bagel got to be fresh and soft. read more

There was a pretty long line when we went at ~9:30 but i wanted to try the bacon egg and cheese cuz I've never had one in nyc. I think I'll stick to my lox from now on though simply because the bacon was a bit too salty for me to have in the sandwich. It was good but too overpowering read more

The bagels are amazing and soft I ordered a breakfast bagel and it came out so fast and hot the cheese was melted properly and just the exact amount of butter I love all over the bagel and the service they are such sweet and patient because I had to look at the menu....but I can see why in my area there is always a line.....they are the goto hot fresh bagels to get and the look of the shop is so quaint like I am in a European country buying a bagel for breakfast....I will try this again on my way to work read more

This is one of the best bagels I ever had! I got the everything bagel with garlic and herb cream cheese and it was delicious. The cream cheese was creamy which is very important for a bagel. I really like their pop up vibe so you can take it to city hall park and people watch while you eat it. Also, they're very friendly! read more

Finally tried it on a shorter line day, I got the Sausage Egg & Cheese on Egg Everything Croissant, honestly, wasn't too impressed... Overall felt underseasoned wish I had hot sauce on the spot. The bagel was cut quite uneven. Also didn't love the scrambled egg probably it is the egg from those carton box. Overall Apollo's across the street wins big time but I really wanted a breakfast bagel that day! read more

The new bagel spot on the fidi block, Leons while up to some stuff competition, serves some great variety. It's a hole in the wall style store, which had a queue waiting outside down the street when I visited. Ordering was quick and then waiting for the food took about ten mins. We tried their breakfast bagels - sausage egg cheese on pumpernickel and bacon egg cheese on everything egg. The bagels themselves are a chewy texture with less crispiness on the crust which is easy to eat. The filling was well portioned and overall quite rich that I couldn't eat all mine in one go so saved the second half. Staff were very nice and friendly. read more

Excited to see another bagel shop pop up in the neighborhood. I've walked past their other locations plenty of times but never had the opportunity to grab a bagel until today. Of course I had to try the BEC with chili crisp! My bagel buddy got his favorite, classic lox, which he enjoyed... The BEC with chili crisp is probably my new favorite breakfast sandwich in the area. read more

Came on a Monday morning at 10:30am and there was a line already, thought I could beat the crowd on a weekday. Waited 10 minutes from ordering to receiving which is still a bit too long for a New Yorker haha. I got the whole wheat everything bagel with garlic & herb cream cheese. Bagel was toasted and I liked that it didn't taste like cardboard since sometimes whole wheat items can be dry and flavorless. I appreciated that the cream cheese wasn't overly caked on, just the right amount without feeling guilty afterwards. Good to try and friendly staff but probably wouldn't go out of my way to have this. read more

Kind of a pop-up bagel place as there's no table or place to sit. Order your bagels at the counter and wait for it to be ready as takeout. Bagels were pretty good tho not as good as those in East Village and service was quick. read more

Was in the neighborhood after a SoulCycle class and decided to get a bagel after seeing a small line formed outside. FIDI is typically deserted on weekend mornings, so thought this place must be good. While in line, a woman in front of me told me the chili crisp BEC was the way to go. She was right- FYI do not open this until you get home because the oil will cover the bagel wrapper. It's the Perfect bagel, crispy with fluffy insides. The bacon used is good quality and was crisp even after the 20 minute bus ride home. This was the best bagel I have ever had. read more

Ordered the strawberry matcha "light ice" and the unfriendly worker proceeded to fill the entire cup up with ice. Overall taste not terrible but never in my life will I pay 9 dollars for this again! read more

Loved this place! They have a cute walk up window where they take your order. Service was fast even though there was a super long line out in the cold -- that's how we knew we were in the right spot for authentic NYC bagels. Their bagels were perfectly warm, toasted, and stuffed. Would definitely come here everyday if I lived nearby. read more

We got a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Added chili flakes. Great bagel and sandwich. Coffee was very good as well. We had bad coffee right before at a coffee shop down the street that we threw out almost instantly. So we were glad Leon's had coffee and it was way better. The sandwich was good. I'd give it a 7.5 / 10. My own fault tho!! Added chili flakes were ok but it would've been way better if done like normal. Would definitely go back. Service was fine not great. Cool looking little spot and cool vibes. read more

Best bagels in NYC hands down! These bagels are absolutely perfect NYC bagels and not the airy ones so many places serve. Worth a wait in line! If you love bagels, go here and no where else. read more

Very good bagels. They are definitely unique but the crispy outside and fluffy inside is delicious. They only have three flavors but the plain with cream cheese and some jelly was a great start to the day. They did forget my cream cheese, and I had to walk back from the hotel for it. The girl was very nice and apologetic about it and reminded the staff to double check orders. Sometimes there is a bit of a line, but it goes quickly and is definitely worth a few minute. Wait. read more
