    Rainbow Bagel

    Got my rainbow bagel for my birthday! Straightforward process - go all the way in the back to place your order then go wait in front of the sandwich makers at the wall. I think if they weren't so busy, they would sing you happy birthday but I just got handed my bagel and I went to the back to sit down to eat it. I was surprised by how solidly good the bagel was - it was soft but also chewy. It had a nice flavor to it. I didn't think that I would be able to finish it but I ate the whole thing and it pretty much lasted me the whole day (ate it at around 10am and didn't eat anything else until dinner). The funfetti cream cheese tasted like straight up cheesecake to me. Very sweet - but I guess that's the point! Gotta have something sweet for your birthday!

    When in New York, you have to get a bagel! The exterior was under construction (welcome to New York!) but when we walked in the interior was bright and clean. We were warmly greeted and set out on the impossible task of picking which bagel/cream cheese combination to buy. We didn't realize we were in the wrong line for a minute. Apparently we were waiting in the pick up line not the order line... Whoops! ‍‍ So we headed to the back, to the correct/order line and placed our order. Our bagels & cream cheese came out so fast and we would've inhaled them immediately but I had to take a few pictures first. I had seen the viral rainbow bagels all over social media... But when we got to this location, we just weren't feeling a vanilla flavored sweet bagel. We ended up getting the liberty bagel (red, white and blue, but unflavored), a garlic bagel, and a salted bagel. They were so soft and so yummy... But huge! We ended up taking one with us for the rest of the day and snacked on it when we got hungry! There really is something so delicious about a New York bagel!

    Definitely a must try on your trip. They have so many options so take your time and don't feel overwhelmed with all the choices.!

    When youre looking for a great bagel place while in NYC, take a moment to consider coming here. Most known for their Liberty bagels, and It was not as packed as I thought it would be. When inside, you are greeted by a WALL of bagels and their window of cream cheese options. BY FAR, the most interesting thing the room is reading out the list of cream cheese flavors....oreo, jalapeno, maple bacon, blueberry... the list goes on. Pro-TIp: Go straight to the back to order. You will want to stop and look around, but they have a list of bagels and their cream cheese options on the left wall while you are in line. Once you order, go back to the cream cheese window, wait for your order, or go and take a photo at the bagel wall! The bagels are THCCCC and chewy, and they slap a huge amount of cream cheese. The flavor will taste different to everyone because the combinations are endless, but the undertone of the actual cream cheese it really cheesy. Not your Philadelphia cream cheese, its more salty and has an umami taste. The store itself is packed with things all over the walls with menu items and things to look at. It can be almost overwhelming so, take some time before had to pick out what you want to order, so that you're in and out of line quickly. The cashiers are QUICK!! I would love to come and try all of their cream cheese options, because they have so many interesting flavors and I was sad that I coundnt grab more. Pro Tip: This location is extremely close to the bull statute, so make yourself a lil' trip and stop for both.

    I love Liberty Bagel! They have great egg sandwiches or even just regular bagel with cream cheese. I got an egg everything bagel and it was so good. I've been lucky each time I have gone line isn't bad and if there is a line, it is moving. It is a very fast paced store and I had so much to look at around town I didn't stay long. Inside there is a really cool all of bagels to take a peak at.

    OMG, their strawberry cream cheese is so good! And The Pesto Perk -- a thin panini sandwich -- was absolutely divine. Quick in and out. Some seating available.

    Visiting from Texas, we had to stop in and try these bagels--and wow, they did not disappoint! I ordered the brisket on a jalapeño cheddar bagel, and it was absolutely mouthwatering. The bagels are HUGE, so I could only eat half of mine at a time, but every bite was worth it. They also have an incredible selection of cream cheese flavors. We tried the rainbow bagels with the birthday cake cream cheese, and they were so good that I had to go back and get another one before heading back to Texas! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you're visiting the area or you're a local looking for an amazing bagel spot, this place is definitely worth a stop. A couple of things to keep in mind: the lines can be very long, and you'll likely have to wait since the bagels are made fresh. They do have additional seating in the back, but it can get crowded, and there aren't quite enough seats for the number of customers during busy times.

    Super fast and friendly service. We stopped by for breakfast bagels and we were obsessed. The workers manning the front greeted us as we walked in and even gave us some recommendations. I wanted something basic so I ordered the red and white bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagel was perfectly toasted and had just the right amount of cream cheese. We were lucky to find a table as it was pretty busy. Definitely recommend!

    When in NYC, why not bring home some bagels and cream cheese! My friend and I came right when they opened, so they were well stocked! Upon entering, you can see all their bagel and cream cheese options on the left side. When you are ready to order, you head straight to the back counter. Pick up will be the front counter you first saw up of entering. I ordered a dozen assorted bagels - egg bagel + everything version, pumpernickel bagel + everything version, and whole wheat everything bagels. I didn't ask for them cut, so they would last longer during my travels. My favorites were the egg bagels (I have never seen this in my area and I read not many places still make them) and the pumpernickel bagels, but all were good! In addition, I ordered small containers of the strawberry (made with actual strawberries), blueberry (made with actual blueberries), and lox scallion cream cheeses. My absolute favorite was the lox scallion cream cheese, followed by the strawberry (like a strawberry ice cream flavor). It was a bit harder for me to taste the blueberry. This place had a lot of interesting flavor combinations for the cream cheeses and I wouldn't mind coming back to try some others. We also ordered a rainbow bagel with birthday cake cream cheese to share. They definitely lay on the cream cheese real thick which I appreciate, especially given the price of a bagel with cream cheese. It tasted exactly what you would think it would taste, a pretty bagel with a sweet cream cheese. They mixed the sprinkles in very well though. They packaged the bagels in a paper bag, so I would suggest bringing your own for additional support. I do wish that they separated the everything bagels from the non-everything bagels be causing the seasoning stuck everywhere. Smelled so good though! There's no bulk discount for buying the bagels though (e.g. single versus half dozen versus dozen), so order as much or as little as you want! I baked at the price of a small container of cream cheese - think tall take out sauce container. However, they were good and definitely worth a try. It varies by preferences, but a small container is probably good for two bagels. I underestimated how heavy carting around a dozen bagels plus other items throughout the city. There is a slight discount for cash (i.e. not full tax amount), but they accept credit card too. There is a decent amount of seating in the back area with utensils and napkins available.

    Too good! I ordered a garlic bagel, egg, cheese with scallion cream cheese and a Rainbow bagel with birthday cake cream cheese., Both were delicious! I loved their ordering system but the wait times were given how crowded this place was. 5 stars all the way! The location is also perfect-- super close to Wall Street! So get your breakfast and start your touristy things from here.

    An iconic NYC bagel! The perfect amount of smear that it isn't overpowering and so many fun flavors and colored bagels. I got a rainbow bagel which didn't have any fun flavor, but was a fun aesthetic. I would recommend ordering online and doing a pick up if you want to avoid lines. They were quick with our pick up order of 4 bagels. This location doesn't have a lot of room to stay and eat your bagels, more of a grab and go situation.

    Good food selection, large portions, great atmosphere. The menu is large and clearly displayed multiple spots in the store. Big array of types of bagels, cream cheese, and food varieties!! Loved the jalapeño cream cheese, and the strawberry with fresh strawberries in it - but on top of it all, service was fast & friendly!

    I had to get a bagel!! So many to choose from. I of course wanted them all . We ordered the Liberty bagel with a bacon and scallion spread. Lov

FOOD: We ordered a bag of 3 bagels-- everything, poppy seed & salt. The bagels were cute, medium sized and served warm/hot. We chose the scallion cream cheese which came in a lil container. Apparently the bagels are not made in the traditional manner, but they were still delicious with great texture and taste. We also ordered the tea (ok) and strawberry lemonade (yum). We enjoyed our bagels on the little countertop area outside. OVERALL: Definitely recommend! A different bagel experience than some other places (as in, those places where you are served bagels topped with cream cheese and other things) but we enjoyed the simplicity of the bagels and controlling the amount of cream cheese.

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.
