Came here on the last day of my trip and I wish I knew about this location sooner. The 35th st location has LINES OUT THE DOOR. But this location was less crowded and also consistently as good. Got my usual BEC add scallion bacon cc on a toasted scooped wwe bagel and it didn't disappoint. ALSO- tried a blueberry bagel with blueberry cc and Thai was also VERY good. This is going to be my new go to when I want a sweet bagel. read more

i saw the viral blue and orange bagels online & knew i had to stop by liberty bagels on my trip to the city. i had never personally been before, but i really do love bagels, and this spot was pretty good. i will say that the orange and blue bagel is just a plain bagel, so i can't really speak on the other flavors, but it was a solid bagel. it was a large size and reasonably priced. i believe this is one of the more touristy bagel spots in the city. there wasn't a lot of seating inside. there were a few stools available when i got there. i was pleased by the selection of bagels. the hours stood out to me. they were open until 7 pm which is later than usual for a bagel shop- this worked out rly well for me and i was glad to be able to stop by at 5pm. service was pretty quick. i got my bagel in about five minutes. i ordered it toasted with butter. i really enjoyed this bagel and would definitely consider stopping by again. read more

I thought they were just ok. Seems like this bagel shop relies on tourist interest in their specials - Red, White & Blue Liberty bagel, and their Rainbow colored bagel. Many on line were waiting to purchase these when I was there. Yes, they are both colorful and pleasing to the eye but it's just food coloring added to them. I found little difference in taste compared to their regular bagels which are pretty good. Yet, they charge an extra $1.60 per bagel for these specialty colored ones. If you want a pretty colored bagel to snap pics of to place on your social media then splurge away. They also offer a standard bagel selection, cream cheeses, paninis, wraps, and hot bagel sandwiches. read more

Liberty Bagels is famous for their two colorful bagels, the Liberty bagel (red, white and blue) and the Rainbow bagel. Between the two, I preferred the Rainbow one more, as it had a sweet fruity flavor to it. While their color is made them go viral, this place actually has very high quality bagels in general. The bagels are old fashioned hand rolled kettle boiled bagels. They are huge and very fluffy and definitely one of the best bagels I've had in New York City. They also offer a unique selection of cream cheeses as well. Some of the flavors of cheese cheese flavors sold here are Oreo, birthday cake and maple bacon. read more

The location around the corner had a huge line, so this location is super convenient. There was no line to order and very short wait to get our bagels. We got a lox bagel and an everything bagel with dill cream cheese. The bagel and cream selection was amazing. They had all sorts of sandwiches as well plus drinks to grab too. Bagel was perfect and delicious. I'd definitely go back! read more

Went to Liberty Bagels for lunch on a Friday. There is limited seating but we were able to snag some seats. You order at the counter and they call your name when your order is ready. I ordered the Wild Thing on a Rainbow Bagel. It was delicious. The bagel itself was so different and sweet. I want to eat there everyday! Note- if you pay with cash, your order is cheaper. read more

I got the Liberty bagel; red, white and blue. I think because there was so much dye in the bagel, the bagels texture was off. The chipotle cream cheese had a good kick to it. I am not sure why the cream cheese alone is the same price as the bagel. I also was not a fan of the amount of cream cheese given, it was too much. It was also confusing where you pick up and put your bagel order in. There is a sign but the menu with prices are posted everywhere repeatedly which makes it confusing. read more

Appreciated the quick and efficient service on top of the deliciously toasted bagel from here. I just wanted to grab a quick bagel on my way back to the Amtrak station to go home and I chose to come to Liberty because Best Bagels across the street was wayyyy too packed, but I'm glad I came here anyway and probably will continue to go here. The bagels are on the right side as soon as you enter and after you place your order, you take the receipt over to the register on the left side to pay. The wait wasn't long at all despite how many were standing around and waiting, nice pacing. This was Sunday morning around 10am. read more

I read a few reviews and was intrigued. The hotel we were staying at was a few blocks away and it was well worth it. I got a plain bagel that was still so good the next day after traveling over 2000 miles. read more

My first NYC bagels had to be at Liberty! The hype is real! Make sure to get there early because by 9am, there is a line out the door. The employees were extremely nice and helpful when deciding what to order. I got the rainbow bagel with oreo cream cheese - DELICIOUS. The bagel had a nice texture and the cream cheese wasn't overpowering. I can't wait to go back! read more

Listen Im in Boston, we dont have bagel places like NYC did so when I was staying at the hotel around the corner and there was a line out the door, I thought OMG FInally!!! A bagel place, I LOVE BAGELS... I wasnt wow'd. I mean it was good, but I dont get the line out the door. It was just a bagel sandwich, I really want to find a place where their sesame bagel actually tastes like sesame vs just a plain bagel with seeds on it. And weird to say but the egg also had little flavor. The team in there was great & friendly but yeah it was just a bagel sandwich and there were 2 locations on the same block... Maybe Ill try the other one next time! read more

My daughter talked me into coming here for the viral rainbow bagel. We got there around 11 and I was looking at past reviews and wondering if they were going to sell out like others said. It was a weds morning and they were fully stocked on their bagels. My daughter for one with the birthday cake cream cheese and she of course loved it. I got the lox cream cheese and It was delicious. There was a long line but this place knows what they're doing because it really was not a long wait at all, considering the amount of people in line. Lots of employees so they're pretty efficient. 10/10 would recommend. Plus they're pretty! read more

I stopped by Liberty Bagels after a laser appointment and grabbed a sesame bagel, lightly toasted, with butter, black pepper, and an egg. Honestly, nothing about it stood out. The bagel was fine, but not memorable, and definitely didn't live up to all the hype. For the price, I expected something a lot better. Overall, it felt overrated and not worth going out of the way for. If you're nearby and need something quick, maybe it works but I wouldn't choose it again. It's a small busy spot very busy and the girl at the register I think her name was Ana wasn't welcoming at all. Given its morning would appreciate a smile and hello. Anyways not the spot for me that's for sure. read more

Got the NOVA bagel on a jalapeño bagel. 10/10 would recommend. Best lox bagel I've ever had! It had the perfect ratio of ingredients. The line was long but well deserved and they got our order out very quickly. They had a huge variety of bagel options and they even had vegan cream cheese. There's something for everyone at this place. read more

It's hard to describe how amazing liberty bagels is. The cream cheese and bagels are exceptional. There are many choices and options to choose from including all kinds of sandwiches. They are very generous with the quantity of the cream cheese and the quality of the bagels. The employees just topped off they are always so friendly and nice, which I feel is amazing considering how busy they always are. There is a line out the door all day long every day. In addition to bagels, we find that the coffee is superb. Whenever we visit New York City, we stop at liberty bagels every single day that we are there without. Thank you for always being consistent and good with your products, your service, and your smiles. read more

People love to say it's touristy, but I don't care. Liberty Bagels are my absolute favorite bagels in the city. They have never done me wrong, and everyone I've introduced to them has loved them as well! They have sooo many different options, a little bit of something for everyone (including vegan options). Though I'd have to say my personal favorite is an everything bagel, toasted with vegetable cream cheese (pictured) read more

We were looking for the perfect New York bagel and Liberty did not disappoint! Service was quick and bagels were delicious!

Looks like a new location, this place is not packed like other places I been to in NYC. Liberty Bagels has one of the freshest bagels and cream cheese. I like their sandwiches too. Usually stop by every time I go to NYC on a day trip, and some take home. I would recommend if you want to get fresh bagel. I would return. Overall, a clean restaurant, no complaints, and a simple place. read more

I'm not sure what else I can add to what has already been said about Liberty bagels. They are delicious, the servings are generous and the service is fast. The line is long usually, but it moves quickly. You better know what you want when you get to the register! read more

Classic NYC bagel spot and stoked I got the chance to try it while I was in town. Came in here on a Friday evening and it was empty (shocker, not a lot of people out there who would get a bagel for dinner). Overall, the space was pretty clean and everything on the menu had pictures on the wall which made it easy to know what to order. To nobody's surprise in our party, the lox bagel was excellent. The cream cheese was flavorful and fish tasted fresh despite it being later on in the day. Snagged a picture in front of the bagel wall on my way out. If you're coming to New York for the first time and doing all the touristy things around that part of the city (Statue of Liberty, Charging Bull) I would heavily recommend coming here as part of that experience! read more

It's a very popular spot with a long line. That said, the line moved quickly and there are lots of employees working. There are people waiting around the counters and a busy ambiance. There is a large selection of bagels, cream cheeses, and other items. The customer service is super friendly with the doorman showing me where the line was, the cashier person taking my order (I typed it for him), and then the order coming out quickly. Ordered the jalapeño cheddar everything bagel classic with lox, capers, tomatoes, onion, and it was delish. Classic NY chew on the bagel and heavy on the cream cheese. read more

This place was packed! We arrived just in time at around 8:30 am. There was already a line out the door. My daughter wanted to try the rainbow bagel. I got the bacon, egg and cheese on the everything bagel. Both bagels were delicious! I'm from Chicago. Bagels are not a big deal in Chicago. The food was great. The store is small. There are a few tables and we got super lucky. Someone was leaving and gave us their spot. I'm a fan! Fun place to eat your bagel if you get lucky enough to get a seat. read more

Sure, the lines can be terrible (bit better if it's cold and snowy, I learned!), but these are some excellent bagels. Well worth the wait! Great range of options both in terms of bagels and toppings (and don't sleep on the bagel sandwich choices). Bagels have that nice chew to them, exactly what you want in a good bagel. Space is welcoming, but just not a lot of room, as would be expected. read more

BEC was the best thing we had at Liberty Bagels, but on the everything it can be a little too salty. I just don't think I'm used to everything bagels having salt, haha. The sweet options with cream cheese were good but honestly SO much cream cheese that it becomes a mess and overpowers the bagel itself. read more

Came here for a late breakfast and got the French toast bagel with maple bacon CC- the CC was delicious but the bagel was too tough. The bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel- how could you go wrong. Lastly the everything bagel with bacon scallion CC- the CC was top tier. Would recommend, didn't have to wait too long for our order but did have to stand to eat. read more

Well I was in town for a meeting and it got canceled- oh - Freedom! Before I went to find my way home, I had to hit Liberty for the 2d time. Great bagels. Had one with lox spread - good amount of cream cheese- not too much or too little. Got a egg cheese sausage the next day Oh Liberty - wish I had one near me read more

We went for the first time in a cold, rainy Sunday and the place was packed. I was worried about the wait, but the line was moved along efficiently and the orders came out quickly (considering the crowd). The options for bagels, cream cheese, sandwiches and other items were incredible. We ate outside and we both argued that our bagel was the best. It's been a week and we are still dreaming of those bagels. read more

Super disappointing bagel.. a $20 let down. I got the classic nova on a toasted jalapeno cheddar everything bagel and it had to be one of the toughest bagel sandwiches I've ever eaten. I appreciate a good toasted exterior with a chewy inside as you'd expect from any decent bagel, but it was as if you had to twist your head to tear off the bagel. The redeeming factor was they had a decent schmear and loads of lox, but the flavors weren't really there for me either. I couldn't bring my self to finish this despite being the only thing I ate that morning so all in all a disappointing bagel, but I was hoping this was a fluke since NYC is the last place I'd think of having a bad bagel. My family also tried their novacado on a lightly toasted plain bagel which mirrored my experience from my order as well as a french toast bagel with dubai chocolate cream cheese that was just okay. As much as I'd love to come back to give it another try, the experience left much to be had and there are an abundance of quality bagels throughout the city that I'd rather eat. read more

Very good bagel. Good selection nice portion of smoked salmon. Would recommend. If you're in the area you can give this place a try there are so many bagel places in NYC that it's hard to find a bad one read more

Good bagels. It is so busy here due to its proximity to Times Square and Penn Station so the lines are often out the door. I will say, I love the Jackson Heights location better - bagels are bigger and slightly cheaper but I get it - when you're paying primo rent prices in Manhattan, everything will be different. But ordering is pretty easy - go to the back of the store to order and then wait for your order # to get called. All in all, a great place when you're craving a solid bagel! read more

Really good, but pricey bagels. Sometimes there's a line but the get through the line pretty quick read more

I chanced upon Liberty Bagel while discovering the beautiful stores and art galleries on and around 5th Avenue. The behind the counter gentleman was friendly and helpful and explained what the store menu offered. The ambiance was good, the store felt clean and inviting. The variety and display of cream cheeses was so mouth watering and beautiful. I haven't ever seen a cream cheese selection of both savoury and sweet ingredients, like this before . I chose a sesame bagel with salmon and scallion cream cheese, for lunch. I have never tasted such a delicious bagel which was so fresh and tasty.The scallion and lox cream cheese spread was so smooth and creamy and was generously scooped onto the bagel. Both the scallions an actual pieces of lox in the cream cheese were fresh and delicious. I will definitely be returning to this Liberty Bagel store when next I visit New York City. I can highly recommend it for good value and excellent food. read more

Disappointed by their quality, flavor of the bagel and spread a that they don't listen to order notes. I tried them twice and won't be going back. To the out of towner who hasn't had low quality real bagels this place might seem like a gem. To someone who grew up here and knows quality this is something to pass on. read more
