Extremely disappointed with my previous experience!…read more Made an online order of six sandwiches and a dozen bagels on 06June2026. I didnt think to check the bag upon pick up and I didnt notice 3 bagels and 1 sandwich were missing. I reached out to Liberty Bagels via their online messaging platform, left my contact information and no one reached out to me. What a joke! Word of advice, be sure to always check your order and verify you received everything in store before leaving. If ordering delivery from a third-party food service or from their website, good luck.

I stopped on my walk for a quick bite since I was hungry - I got the 2 eggs and cheese on an everything bagel. The bagel is a good size and it tastes fresh. The only thing I was a bit bumped about was that, although a hot sandwich, the bagel wasn't toasted enough because the cheese was really fully melted (First World problem). But it did the trick. Good variety of other options too, like other sandwiches, salad and even burgers and soups. I also like that it's decent sized, not cramped and there's seating on the sides by the windows at semi-high top tables. I'll be back soon.

Absolutely worth the hype! The bagels were fresh, chewy, and incredibly flavorful. The quality was…read moreoutstanding, and the price was more than fair for what you get. Cute spot that doesn't have seating inside but a couple benches outside to eat. I bought a dozen to bring back home to the West Coast, and the staff was so kind. The girls at the front took the time to wrap everything up tightly so the bagels would travel well, which I really appreciated. That extra level of customer service made a great experience even better. If you're in the area, don't miss this place. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town!

Gosh this is a hidden gem haha. I'm giving 4 stars only because I feel like-- some of the flavors…read moreare just "ok" but overall it's a really fun place to be and their prices aren't so bad. Sourdough bagels, LOTS of creative options for bagels, cream cheeses and sandwiches. It's got a fun vibe and a nice selection of drinks too. Only real complaint is that the bagels are on display but aren't individually labeled by type so I had to guess or eventually ask someone to explain each one to me (which the music was a little loud to hear clearly and also thankfully it wasn't too busy when I was there but that would be hard to do if it was busy). The workers were nice explained when I asked and helped with additional weistions when I had-- which I had a lot because I felt like I walked into a bagel toy store! That may interesting options to try For the actual bagels-- I got 1) Egg everything with plain cc 2) Parmesan oregano bagel with buttah (their naming not mine) 3) Aleppo pepper bagel w/ Gochujang cc on the side 4) Blueberry bagel (plain) My favorite was the Parmesan oregano HANDS DOWN it was moist chewy and delicious. Definitely would go back just for that. I feel the others could be better esp the egg everything- it was oddly dry which is weird since I think they make bagels fresh. The Aleppo pepper was not bad but with the Gochujang cc it was too salty for my liking. Gochujang cc was interesting in general. Blueberry was good but also-- standard not bad can't go wrong. Overall my recommendation is try, and come back to try again-- until you've tried them all! I've heard jalapeño cheddar is great sadly I didn't try it-- next time Oh just to add-- there's no seating inside so be prepared to enjoy them elsewhere!

The guy at the front was very friendly and helpful. Would've loved to try the French toast bagel but I wanted a smaller bagel and the mini is perfect for that...

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly, and it's the kind of place where you can sit down, relax, and enjoy your morning coffee without feeling rushed. In a city full of chain stores and corporate coffee shops, places like this are becoming harder and harder to find. The bagels are excellent, the coffee is consistently good, and they make a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich exactly the way a New Yorker expects it to be made. Simple, fresh, and satisfying. After all these years, I can't believe I never took a moment to give these guys the credit they deserve. If you're looking for a great local spot for breakfast, coffee, or just a place to start your day, this place is definitely worth a visit.

Oof! They are VERY overpriced... My husband and I usually get our bagels from a different local…read morespot that's further away, however we decided to give this place a try after running a 5K on Saturday. Everything was very chaotic from the start. The person who took our order asked us to repeat it about 3 times, which should've been a sign.. After taking our order, we awkwardly stood there waiting to pay. Then a second employee asked us what we wanted to order, which was puzzling. We told her that we already ordered and needed to pay. We stepped closer to the register, but then she began to ring up the gentleman who had ordered a few minutes before us. Very confusing. We ordered 2 everything bagels (toasted) with egg and extra cheese (one slice Munster, one slice cheddar). I've ordered this exact same bagel at many other establishments and have never had an issues with it, however this place didn't seem to understand. They gave us our 2 bagels: one with 2 slices of cheddar, the other with 2 slices of Munster.. We ended up paying $6 MORE (before tip) for the same thing we get from somewhere else further away. However our order was wrong and the bagels themselves weren't anything special - just average. We're not planning to come back. We'd rather walk half a mile further to save money and the headache.

Wow. I cannot believe what a bad experience I had today at this place. First of all the place is a…read moremess. They act like they're super busy, but there's never really a line. The minute you walk near their counter to look at the menu above, they're screaming, literally screaming at you next next next.! meanwhile there's no line. There's a bunch of dirty tables. There's a few people sitting at them. There's still plenty of room for people to sit because the place is not packed. My brother ordered his shakshouka, and then I decided upon their jewel platter. We cleaned the table and sat down to eat. My brother's shakshouka had what seemed like hard boiled eggs in it. He took it back and they redid it to have the eggs soft they way it should be. I asked for my Home fries to be crispy. They definitely were not crispy. They're basically boiled potatoes cut into squares and over seasoned. The bagels are just OK. We were there for quite some time. When we left and started driving away, I realized that I had left my pouch there that contained my wallet with everything in it. We were maybe five minutes away from the place and I called them to let them know so they could grab it for me so nobody would take it. The guy yelled in the phone, " you have to come back we too busy". Obviously, I was already heading back. When I entered the place and asked about my pouch, multiple people behind the counter did very little to try to help me. They made a weird face and said they knew nothing about it. It was not on the chair where I had left it. So I asked the gentlemen that we were sitting near the area that I was seated at if they had seen it. And they said yes! They gave it to the guys behind the counter. So, I went back and asked the guys again behind the counter and informed them that I would be calling the police and then all of a sudden they found it immediately. The staff here is horrific. I will absolutely never go there again. Absolutely disgusting place.

There are certain gimmicks that I don't subscribe to, which is any kind of fusion in bagel form…read more (#1) Between The Bagel proved me wrong, in a way that I haven't fully yet recovered and as a result has become a go-to destination for me whenever I'm back in Astoria. They've done such an outstanding job across the board (customer service, price, food, etc.) that I am constantly thinking about going back. Located on the constantly busy (#2) 30th Ave, one wouldn't notice this place as being any different from any other bagel shop. There's hardly any seating but a steady stream of customers all throughout the day. The NSFW signage (#3) keeps the place fresh and interesting, if not extremely memorable. The first thing that is offered (and often complimentary) is their fried rice balls, dubbed "Ben's Balls" that are mixed with seasoned rice, kimchi, topped with a gochujang mayo that would wake up any sleepyhead. Each bite had a nice crunch, but the lingering effect of the kimchi makes it addicting. It is the ultimate complementary snack, a desired, potluck item, and frankly genius. This is not something I would ever consider getting out a bagel shop, but having had them I would gladly buy them by the dozens. Most folks are here for the Seoul Meets Bagel (SMB) and rightfully so: it's layered with chopped bulgogi meat, cheese, egg, kimchi, topped with gochujang mayo and is packed with flavor. While the dank ass pork sandwich is a crude name, but it's not hard to see why it's one of their best sellers. Their regular bagels are also excellent. Folks who are expecting a large variety of cream cheese may find it disappointing that there's only a handful in the display, but they do have lox, bacon scallion, tofu cream cheese, and some flavored cream cheese. For what it's worth, my toasted everything bagel with lox was fabulous. It was pillowy soft, nicely toasted, and extremely filling. Offering Korean savory bagels wouldn't be complete without actual Korean fare, which is also a part of their larger than expected menu. It includes items such as Korean fried chicken, kimbap, pajeon (various), bibimbap, kalbi, ramyum, and mandoo. This is in addition to the burgers, breakfast platters and sandwiches, and a number of pastries. The staff is mostly Spanish and English speaking, in addition to the owner Ben who brings Korean to the table. Prices are very reasonable for Astoria and I'm hoping they continue to stay that way. This spot is the ultimate neighborhood spot and I'm insanely jealous of all the residents in the area that get to enjoy this on the regular. ___________ (#1) Why mess with something that doesn't need changing? Oh, because palate + innovation. (#2) And incredibly gentrified. (#3) One sign reads: "My happy place is when I tell people to .... FU, KMA, MF, STFU, SOB, SMD." Oh how New York.

I've been her once only so far but definitely want to come back. Ben is such a character but in a…read moregood way. He is super friendly even as a first time customer. We came in and he knew we were first time customers from just us looking at the menu. We ordered the bulgogi and chicken bagel sandwiches, along with a side of onion rings, but afterwards he whipped out 2 free Ben's balls for us to try. They were really tasty and a nice snack if I didn't want a sandwich. While we waited, he talked to us more, especially since we weren't from Astoria but happened to be around there so we wanted to try it out. While we were waiting he also whipped out some nutella banana pudding and he told us to just help ourselves. It was super tasty and it was also funny because the sugar made me really happy since I was hungry already. He told me I looked really happy as I was eating it LOL, which I definitely was. After getting the sandwiches, the guy who was at the register also gave us 2 sour patch kids out of nowhere. The vibes here are fun and you definitely see Ben having fun while shouting orders to the back and engaging with customers. As for the food itself, the sandwiches were PACKED. It was hard to get my mouth around either one of them. I split them with my boyfriend so we could try both. The bulgogi one was really good but i felt like it could have used some kimchi to cut some of the richness and add a little more dimension to it. I actually enjoyed the chicken one a bit more because it felt like Korean fried chicken put into a bagel. It was soy garlic too which I love with korean fried chicken. I have also been meaning to go back because I have been craving that after having it. The sandwiches were so filling that even though we split both of them, I wasnt able to finish it and saved it for later. The onion rings weren't my favorite because they were kinda ones you find in the frozen section of the grocery store, but then again you wouldnt come here for those anyways. Aside from their specialty sandwiches, they also make regular bagel sandwiches and their prices are really great for what you find in NYC these days. I would definitely come back and recommend people to try their specialty bagel sandwiches.

While the bagel was large, cream cheese was generous, the bagel itself was dry. They bake new ones regularly but we just missed the window for the freshly baked ones.

3.5 stars. Conveniently located near the Steinway St subway station. Originally, I came in just to…read moretry their bagels but saw they also offered acai bowls, so I decided to do both. Almond Butter Acai Bowl ($13.99): acai with hemp granola, almond butter, bananas, strawberries, kiwi and blueberries. Nice presentation and most importantly, a very tasty bowl of acai. I liked the granola and wished they added more in. The fruit was very fresh and ripe. La Ronda Bagel ($14.99): served with smoked salmon, plain cream cheese, onions and tomatoes. I got mine on a sesame bagel. The bagel itself was okay but I was really disappointed that it came with just one measly slice of smoked salmon. For this price, it really was not worth getting, imo. With the plethora of bagel spots in Astoria, I'll probably go elsewhere for my bagel fix. That said, I would come back to try some of their other acai bowl options.
