    Leon's bagels definitely lived up to the height. I got a bacon, egg and cheese and added some cream cheese as well as the chili oil and it was delicious. These bagels are definitely heavy so you can share for sure.

    Tried Leons Bagel for the first time and tried the Bacon Egg and Cheese and Classic Lox Bagel. This was my first time trying a Lox bagel and I have to admit I get the hype. The smoked salmon was really good and buttery. Only con was how messy it got when eating. The bacon egg and cheese bagel was good, but also tasted like any other bacon egg and cheese bagels I have had.

    Classic Lox Sandwich

    10/10 no notes. The photos speak for themselves! The price is a little steep but it's completely justified once you take that first bite. Everything was fresh flavorful and absolutely worth the hype. When I arrived the line was about eight people deep, and unfortunately it was raining which wasn't the most enjoyable experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Just something to keep in mind this is a walk-up window with very limited outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since it was raining we ended up finding a covered spot nearby to enjoy our bagels. The staff were fantastic and even offered recommendations for which bagel paired best with the type of sandwich we ordered. Great service, great food, and definitely a spot I'd return to.

    Leon's Bagels Thompson Street Breakfast Sandwich was excellent, lined up to a takeaway window, ordered and waited a bit and detoured the delicious bagel sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]So many nice places to try and eat, this is one of them[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Egg and cheese on pumpernickel
    Niamh M.

    Loved it! The egg and cheese sandwhich is great! Love that they melt the cheese in the egg, and not just add it to the bagel as a slice of cheese! Pumpernickel bagel was delicious - slightly sweet! Will be back to try the egg bagel!

    I'm usually better at taking photos but I was starving. Look at all that cheese! Sooooo good!

    This is the perfect egg and cheese bagel on an egg bagel! I also got three egg bagels to take home to Detroit. I used Uber Eats delivered to my hotel (Arlo SoHo) and it was super fast and the friendly delivery person actually waited in the lobby for me to come down. I love that they bagged the cold bagels separate from the bagel sandwich and it all came in a nice paper bag with a handle. This will be my new go-to bagel place when I'm in NYC!

    Liked the food but wasn't worth all the hype from social media. However only waited like 15 min on Sunday around 3. The egg and cheese with tomato was yummy but wouldn't say the bagel itself was the best. Service was nice and decently quick.

    Strawberry cc on a sesame bagel, BEC on everything
    Kirsten C.

    It's a bit too doughy for my taste; I'm leaning towards Ap0llo b4gels oops... I had the sesame bagel toasted with strawberry cream cheese. The whole time, I was battling the bagel (jaw workout alert!) and the cream cheese's intensity bro like damn... hella creamy. It was a bit confusing since the bagel was quite pink like where's the strawberry flavor. It's like I see strawberry but don't taste strawberry. Also, the line was long. On the bright side, I tried Bf's bacon, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich, and it was good. I think I only really liked it because of the bacon's deliciousness, crispiness, and saltiness. Otherwise, I think I'll stick to a simpler bagel because it's a bit heavy.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute stall![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A bit sad theres not much space to stand around and eat though, I feel like a bird just blocking the sidewalk and its not too weather friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The line can build up fast and takes some wait time. I originally came here because I had seen a video on a spicy chili crunch breakfast sandwich, but since then I guess they downsized the menu. You have to get their egg cheese sandwiches. The way the cheese is melted and the flavor combo is the perfect hit to satisfy a basic morning craving

    Classic Lox Sandwich
    Ro R.

    Someone mentioned this place to me and coincidentally I passed by this place on the way to Xing Fu Tang and the line was crazy long. And shorty after I see the PopUp Bagel and line was shorter. I thought I need to try both places. I ended up coming here today and line again was super long, but decided to get it and I got the Lox Bagel and I want to say it was good, but not life changing. I did appreciate the cucumbers added to this Lox bagel - that was a nice touch. I also like the fact I can ask for lightly toasted, because I think that's why I enjoyed this bagel a lot more, because I am not big on hard ass bagels. Good, but again not something I would die or want to wait in line for and I am glad I suggested the person to go to Fish Cheeks rather than here. They were visiting, and asked which one would I choose - Leon's or Fish Cheeks.. At that time, I haven't even heard of Leon's but I said for sure do Fish Cheeks and glad I made that call. No bagel will ever trump Fish Cheeks for me.

    Had a craving for a bagel and stopped by Leon's to see if the hype was real. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The store is a large walk-up window with all the bagels on display along with coffee - super convenient.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The person helping me was really knowledgeable and gave great recommendations on which bagels pair best with each sandwich. I went with the bacon, egg, and cheese with chili crisp. One bite told me everything I needed to know. The bagel was soft with the perfect chew, and it paired so well with the egg and thick-cut bacon. The hype is definitely real. I'll be back to try something different tomorrow!

    My kiddo wanted to stop by this viral spot. Was it ok? yes. Was it worth the wait? Not at all. My bagel had one slice of salmon and I personally prefer more. Wasn't bad, wasn't great. Do what you will with that

The ambiance was welcoming and festive and seeing fellow Knicks fans enjoying bagels and the many foods offered here, made this spot just right.

Perfect texture, something NYC can proudly own about our bagels, and the cream cheese was just right! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The next day I had one of the plain bagels and it was just as fresh as the first day. Perfect texture and even more fulfilling the next day. Let's just say that the next time I'm home, I want to try more of their incredible bagels!

    Visit June 2026: I'm…read moreadmittedly not a bagel expert but when in NYC a bagel is a must. Supposedly so is eating a street hot dog but I'm not too sure on that lol. Anyways, the girls had bookmarked another bagel establishment but the line was hella long like they were giving away Knicks gear for free. Ironically another "bagel shop" search on Yelp showed PopUp Bagels was like three doors down lol. No line! That in itself was making me question but there is a PopUp in San Diego that my daughter swears by. PopUp advertised itself as "Not Famous, but known." Whether or not this bagel is better than the one store three doors up is something I cannot attest to. However I can say THIS WAS A DANG GOOD BAGEL! And it was freshly made! How do I know? It literally burned my fingers when I ripped it open! The pain was worth it. Outside, a slightly crisp texture generously coated with "Everything". Inside was a dense and chewy dough that was pliable but able to withstand the dipping and shmearing of cream cheese (which was smooth). Best I have ever had for sure but then again my most common bagel experience is the place named after a scientist where tons of bagels are sitting in bins for who knows how long. So why wasn't this a 5-star experience? One, I only ate one thing. Two, sevice and setting are "just there". Considering it wasn't busy I would expect a bit more of a welcome. To eat you're bagel you can full on just leave, sit at the three stools inside where it is super hot (bc hey they actually cook), or three stand outside. There is a little, I'll say "patio", where you can stand, eat, and true story, watch two people argue about who gets to sort through the recyclables from the neighborhood eateries. Snack and a show???? I just stood near the door and enjoyed my bagel.

    The bagel itself is pretty solid. It's fluffy and got a nice texture to it. Honestly though, I'm…read morenot sure I really fugg with the whole concept. You cannot order a single bagel, you must order your bagels in 3s. So if you're not a big back and instead are a loser with no friends, you might have more bagels than you can eat. The bagels come whole and you're supposed to rip them and dip them into the cream cheese, and there's many smears to choose from, which is a plus. However, this requires a two hand situation, which means it's difficult to eat on the go, and the seating inside is limited. I did not realize this at first and I was trying to slice my bagel in half with a butter knife, and I failed and started ripping it to shreds in a fit of passion and rage. That when I saw their neon sign that says "GRIP. RIP. DIP," which sounds sexual, and realized that's the concept and intention. My advice--if you're gonna visit, come with a couple friends so you can try the bagels without having to eat 3. And bring hand sanitizer so you're not ripping up the bagel with your filthy subway fingers.
