Honestly, I'm torn with this review. We tried Liberty on a weekday morning, decently long line, good service, but the bagel left much to be desired. I ordered the Bella Nova on a rainbow bagel. While the lox and herby cream cheese were great, the bagel was very very hard and chewy. Took forever to ingest. Should I have tried a regular bagel? Toasted? We'll never know. Felt bad for a $15+ bagel to end up being disappointing. read more

Liberty Bagels - Bella Nova on a Rainbow Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I was visiting New York so I had to stop by a bagel spot, I decided to try Liberty Bagels and I really enjoyed the bagels I had! The bagels were made fresh so they were soft and fluffy. I tried an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and it was loaded! The cream cheese was so well flavored, airy and light, it had to be one of the best cream cheese I had. The Steakwich was equally as great, it was made with brisket, grilled onions, melted mozzarella and garlic mayo. It was delicious! read more

I don't know if the crew is different but the whole atmosphere has completely changed. The bagels have become stale the past couple of times I've come & the people behind the counter are so rude. The last time I came it was 30 min before closing and they stated "they ran out of bagels" but I saw that there were bagels... I guess they were just too lazy to make a BEC. Don't even try to ask for egg whites because depending on who's working, they give you different responses.. I've been told " We don't do that" like how?? If I just got it the week prior? I also get charged differently each time so I'm not sure if they overcharge or what .. lol I don't recommend this place anymore by any means.. read more

Service is good and fast bagels are 100%. There isn't seating if you're looking for a sit down place but I highly recommend

I come here every Sunday for my breakfast and look forward to it. The past two weeks, I've been so disappointed at the service and lack of respect. Yesterday, I was ordering my regular bagel and asked for egg whites, as I usually do. The response I got was "We don't do egg whites." Meanwhile I've been charged for egg whites every time I've ordered them so when did that suddenly change? The bagels are hit and miss, sometimes they are fresh and the cream cheese will taste great and other times, it will be stale. I tried to be nice and explain that I was confused and the guy I spoke to rolled his eyes and told me "If you don't want to come anymore, don't come". I'm appalled. Do not visit this place if you want respect. read more

Imho, not necessarily one of the best bagels like many people believe, but also a solid option if you having a craving. Their regular bagels have a nice chew, while I also really enjoy the flagels. The jalapeño bagel is a new discovery and I am quite fond of its fluffy texture and slightly spicy aftertaste. If the lines are not long, then get yourself a nice lox sandwich with scallion cream cheese. read more

Sorry not sure why but the last month every bagel I've gotten has been totally stale and cold not toasted. Happy to revisit the review but the workers need some training it would seem. Plenty of other places for great food in the area, if you're slipping no point to return read more

Ordered: Rainbow bagel with Birthday Cake cream cheese (free on birthday): scooped out & toasted Aya's take: What's better than a NYC bagel? A free NYC bagel on your birthday! I stopped by Liberty Bagel to redeem my free bagel which is only valid on the day of your birthday. They do check your ID so make sure you have it with you when you go. The bagel itself is fresh and crisp while the cream cheese was sweet and dense. I definitely recommend scooping it out like I did to make more room for the cream cheese. Great try and shout out to Liberty Bagels for this birthday freebie! read more

A very good bagel shop in Queens that has much more then just bagels and it's hard to decide so we got a little of everything or close to everything. Many different types of bagels , spreads , sandwiches ,sweets , hot and cold beverages and if you want a burger , gyro or omelette, you can get that also . It's a bagel joint so a few bagels with cream cheese , a few order of hash browns, a brownie , black n white cookie ,2 coffees and 3 orange juices and my boys and I can sit and enjoy .good bagels , good food , good beverages and prices are reasonable. Glad we came here , cuz Don picked a very good place for a quick breakfast.4.5 stars read more

Great bagels! They are big and fluffy and delicious. They also just had such a wide variety of goodies. I had some rainbow cookies too that were fantastic. It's been a bit but it was great. They also had a big selection of cream cheese. I had plain but it was great. They even had a vegan cream cheese, but it was okay... maybe what you would expect from a vegan cheese. But the rest good - I would definitely come back for more bagels. Lots of help too - fast service, and some seats to eat your food. read more

Not worth the hype. Waited 30+ mins for bagels which I'm okay with but unfortunately was very disappointed by the montauk sandwich. Bread is good but barely any whitefish salad . Very underwhelming for a $25 sandwich read more

This place has been disappointing lately. I have ordered from this place twice for lunch and the sandwiches are mediocre. I ordered a chicken sandwich with pesto on a sesame bagel and the texture of the chicken was not pleasant. I don't think it was completely cooked so I didn't even eat half the sandwich and the rest was garbage. I would only suggest coming here only for breakfast since their breakfast items are actually very good. My go to order is their sesame bagel toasted dark with scallion cream cheese. Their bagels are very good as well as their bacon, egg and cheese. read more

We were walking in Manhattan and saw a random rainbow bagel on the floor, and after some research, we found Liberty Bagels! My kids were so excited to try this place. Picked up a Liberty & Rainbow with strawberry cream cheese. A "Classic Nova" with onion bagel, an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. A hazelnut iced coffee (which was surprisingly tasty) All that was great! For TRAVELERS: I wasn't a fan of the location. I think I was a bit ignorant of where I was going. We stopped on our way to Boston, so just beware. I took a star from the rating because I didn't care for the attitudes from the girls there. My husband ordered a piece of strawberry cream cheesecake, and it was moldy (lovely!). The girl "cut a fresh" cake and gave us a slice. read more

The bagels and pastries were very fresh. The bagels also did not taste like pure dough, which is always good. The almond croissant was also tasty. The location has a good amount of tables. They have good variety of things, a lot of choices for cream cheese, and a lot of things to choose from in the displays. The only negative I would say is the workers at the register did not seem eager to ask you if they can take your order. One guy seemed disturbed that I asked him to take my order. However, once he did, he was helpful and friendly. read more

When you've got a hankering for a bagel, it feels great to have options. In Jackson Heights, Liberty Bagels is 100% my go-to for the best bagel in town. There are a few places that do bagels and can satisfy that itch you get for a good bagel, but Liberty Bagels is the best. It's got that perfect NYC texture and taste. Aside from that though, it's a true bagel place in terms of their systems. You go and order in one area. You go pay in the next area. They have everyone behind the counter working in perfect coordination to execute orders efficiently. You love to walk into a place like this because you know what to expect and know it's going to be consistent. Aside from this, you should know that Liberty Bagels is often quite busy. Understandable considering the quality of their product and their location. Their systems help alleviate things during those often busy times. If you're not a fan of crowds or hectic places, you'll want to avoid though. Prices are comperable to Manhattan, but it's worth the price in my opinion. Whether you're just in the mood for a bagel with cream cheese or you're ordering dozens of bagels for an event, Liberty is the place to go. I'm grateful they're in our neighborhood. read more

Been trying to find a go-to bagel shop in NYC with the best bagels. Liberty Bagels is pretty up there in terms of soft-ness and cream cheese options. We got the lox cream cheese on everything bagel (5/5), bacon egg and cheese on an egg everything bagel (4/5) and the works on an egg everything bagel (5/5) The bagels came out soo fresh and the specialty hot bagel sandwiches were super flavorful. Would definitely recommend to get a quick bite at! I post all my NYC reviews on IG: @jenkneeats ! read more

10/10 recommend I ordered once through door dash for my job and the bagels were still warm!!! The bagels are so fresh and soft on the inside. The spreads seemed to be homemade and they were delicious. I went in person today and had to write a review about how good it is. Try them you won't regret it. read more

I ordered for pickup on a Saturday morning and the pickup process was smooth. There's a counter to your right once you walk in and you just say your name. Having eaten breakfast at ess a bagel quite a bit, I will say the bagels aren't as fresh as I expected, and were a little hard. If you get the bagels toasted, this isn't an issue. I liked the scallion lox spread, a good balance, but would prefer a bit more lox. Overall I'd come back again to try the other spreads read more

We ended up at liberty bagels for a quick breakfast and it was okay. Hubby got the jalapeno cheddar everything bagel with jalapeno cream cheese- he enjoyed it but agreed too much schmear and not enough spice. I went for a basic pumpernickel bagel with cream cheese and jelly. Again too much schmear to bagel ratio for us. Overall I found their bagels to be way too chewy as well. Coffee was decent. read more

Perfect place to experience a New York bagel if you have a limited time to spend in New York. We went to a location close to LGA airport and were so glad we did. Had the classic nova on a salt bagel, the Rueben on a pumpernickel everything bagel, and a French toast bagel with maple bacon cream cheese. Everything was excellent - portions were huge! Wish we had room in our luggage to take some bagels and spreads home with us! read more

I have been searching for the perfect bagel spot since I moved to Queens in 2019 after almost 15 years in Brooklyn. I had heard that Liberty Bagels opened a location close by but only recently had a chance to check it out. It's definitely in a very busy area, steps away from the 82nd street stop on the 7. I have no doubt that it gets very busy during the morning rush, but I stopped by around 11:30 on a week day and there was only one person ahead of me. There are a LOT of menu options as well as bagel and cream cheese flavors, and I felt pretty boring for going with an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, but it's my favorite, so it's hard for me to deviate. It was definitely not boring and very delicious. The bagel was the perfect texture and had a generous amount of everything seasoning on all sides. They were also generous with the scallion cream cheese, which was evenly distributed and very flavorful. The place is well maintained and clean and there are several tables around for dining in. I will definitely be returning soon. read more

Liberty Bagels - Everything Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

Pretty disappointing experience here. I ordered a wrap with extra eggs, a few meats, lettuce, tomato, MUENSTER cheese and toasted; as well as a cordon bleu everything bagel with grilled chicken, eggs, spinach, and toasted. I received a wrap without any of the eggs, none of the extra meats were included in the wrap (weirdly placed on the side), had American cheese (barf!), a single slice of pastrami (which is a joke...), and the wrap was soggy. As for the bagel, the bagel was even soggier, had no spinach on it, and had a fried chicken cutlet not grilled as I clearly requested (it's an option to choose grilled, it wasn't a special request, so a bit shocked it wasn't honored...). Overall this was a pretty terrible experience as neither sandwich was made properly and the lack of attention to detail is pretty staggering. Likely wouldn't recommend this place at all unless they learn to follow directions better. Update: Revised to 3 stars as the meats were pretty good, just wish they had made the sandwich/wraps correctly... read more

Coming from a bagel boy (brooklyn) lover girl this bagel shop in queens is the sh*t. the women working at the counter are lovely and friendly. my go-to is always a tuna sandwich on a asiago bagel and i order extra bagels for my job, even with some left over the next day , the bagels don't get hard. nice and fluffy. they also have FRENCH TOAST BAGEL which is rarely found in shops in the city. ALL KINDS OF CREAM CHEESE OPTIONS. located right below the train station on the 7.. very convenient. read more

Great bagel place with a variety of bagels and cream cheese. They have asiago bagels and unusual cream cheese flavors like oreo and birthday cake. I had a lox bagel and it was delicious! Order in the back and pay in the front. There are a few tables for dining. read more

Ordered a dozen bagels for a school function and whoever packed the order didn't include all the bagels in the bag, which I didn't realize until I was home and it was too late to go back. Very disappointing service especially since the store wasn't even busy when I was there. As far as the bagels go, they are meh. I say this as a native New Yorker who prefers authentic bagels. These do not have an authentic texture and they're too thick and fluffy/soft rather than chewy. Basically if you are a tourist and you think a rainbow bagel or a blueberry bagel sounds exciting, have fun and go for it. If you are looking for a real NY bagel, go elsewhere. These bagels are edible. They are certainly not worth a special trip, or even the 3-block walk from my apartment. read more

This is a bagel place with some tables and chairs if you want to eat there. We were comfortable sitting there but I'd say it's mainly take out. The menu(s) are a bit hard to read, so chose the Havana sandwich from their website, however it is not offered at this location. I ended up with the Midtown sandwich and it did not disappoint! Just plain old delicious. The service and coffee was good too. The portion was so Henry that I only ate half. I will definitely return to try their other offerings. read more

Found this place on yelp after I have continuous bagel cravings during pregnancy. All the places I been to afterwards can't really compare. It's the best bagel around really. Very large selection of bagels and cream cheese. Way more than other bagel specific shops. Some specific cream cheese like avocado cream cheese, you won't see it, just have to order it and they will make it for you in the back. Something I didn't know the first time I went. Bagels are very fresh and soft. No need to toast. Price point- this is definitely a little more expensive than your regular bagel joint. It cost us about 5-7 dollars for one bagel. Adding on coffee and a orange juice, it came out about 20 some dollars. Of note- their specialty bagels: jalapeño bagel is green and actually a little spicy because they mix in the diced jalapeño. So delicious. Rainbow bagel: vivid colors, no sugar added. Can go with sweet or savory cream cheese Liberty bagel: basically strawberry swirl with mini chocolate chip pieces and vanilla syrup. Definitely sweeter than rainbow bagel, but not overly sweet. Great with sweet cream cheese like strawberry or cake cream cheese Of note- their cake cream cheese- it's just cream cheese cake frosting with sprinkles. Not too sweet, can try once, but I would personally go for other sweet cream cheese. read more

(This is based on delivery) Has liberty bagels in the city and loved it and was so happy when I found one near me. Had a Spanish omelette but all I got was a cheese omelette with bacon on the side, my husband got a egg sandwich. The food was greasy and very bland..had zero seasoning. The eggs tasted odd, similar to liquid eggs that comes out of a carton. My husband said the best thing about his sandwich was the bagel, everything in it (egg, sausage, bacon) was bland and artificial tasting. read more

Bagels we chose and cream cheese especially the veggie was soo good. Bagels are huge. I was full after half , overfill. But so delicious. It was just a bit too hot inside for me to Stat and not much seating available for such yummy food.... I was greeted as soon as I entered and kindly informed of where to order. Seems like a cozy family chill friendly spot. Just need little more group seating. read more

I was actually excited when this place opened up bc I'm very familiar with Liberty Bagels Midtown (solid bagel place, nice ppl who know your name, consistently good food) and I thought it would be the same owner/service. Forget about it, definitely NOT the same. I gave these ppl several opportunities to make things right after all the hiccups - constantly misspelling my name (if you can't spell it, even after I spell it out for you, why even ask?), burnt instead of toasted or barely any cc, or getting a wrong sandwich, never ever getting a plastic bag while I see others getting plastic bags for their orders - but it has not worked out. I never gave anyone any attitude, I'd always calmly order my food, I never took things personal. However, now I'm done with this place bc they're no good to me. And just my luck, I'd usually get the same lousy, chunky, latinx girl, long black hair and glasses, who'd somehow manage to screw up my name (on purpose?) or my order (on purpose?). Her BS today broke the camel's back, not going back, not gonna continue paying for their BS. I clearly told her, "two everything bagels, lightly toasted plain cc," plain and simple, but she charges me for one order, had to tell her, "no, 2x." When I get to our Jackson Height office, I notice on the ticket " SCOOPED, Toasted, LIGHT SPREAD." Say whattt??!??!!!??? I open my bagel, my coworker opens his, and sure enough, they were both scooped with light cc. For the record, this is not the cook's fault, this is the cashier's fault, that guy just follows orders. I'm actually surprised by the good reviews of this place, which leaves me feeling as if I've been constantly singled out on purpose to be given terrible customer service, just maybe. What else could it be???? If the owner does read this review, KINDLY DO STH ABOUT THIS! Train your staff better, especially your cashiers. Customer service is what creates loyalty and buzz and makes a business successful. And if you, lousy cashier, do ever read this, how would you feel if I kept doing what you've done to me? Screwing up your name (my name's so easy to spell btw), screwing up your orders, hun you wouldn't wanna be helped by me, let alone tip, you'd stop going. ZERO stars for this place if Yelp would allow it. read more
