The baker's dozen (13 bagels) is worth it because you can choose between regular and specialty bagels and it still comes out to $24. And if you get the dozen on a Wednesday, you can actually get 16 bagels! The bagels are big, and airy. The combinations and variety of options go on and on. Excited to be try a new one every time. They are pretty precise with the weight of spread you order, as well. We ordered the egg salad, tuna salad, and scallion cream cheese spread. The egg salad and tuna salad were mild in flavor, not heavy, tasted healthy. I've only come on weekends, so there is always a line out the door, but there are many staff members, so the line moves. If you are ordering a lot of bagels, be prepared for back-up options because although they are constantly making the bagels on the premise, popular options do run out and you may have to wait 15min for a new batch.

However, I cut back on the bagels, lol. They keep their store clean and there is limited seating. Recently I've been craving bagels and stopped in here for my fix.lol I did give up my raisin bagel and now opt for the whole wheat. The bagels are so fresh and delicious. They have a nice variety of bagels and flavored cream cheese. They also offer other baked items, fresh smoothies and drinks. This is definitely a spot to check out for your breakfast/ brunch/ lunch.

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.

This bagel place has to be my favorite bagel place ever!…read more They have a wide variety of bagels and cream cheeses as well as signature bagels (set toppings). Their bagels are nice and crispy on the outside but dense and fluffy in the inside which I think is the best texture you can get out of a bagel. Even though they have a variety of both, I can't seem to get enough of the cinnamon raisin bagels with blueberry cream cheese! I am not a cream cheese person but this cream cheese is whipped to perfection and doesn't have too much of a cheesy flavor. The blueberry flavor is nice and strong and it is not too sweet. It is seriously something that I must get if I can ever wake up early enough and drag myself to Astoria! The service is very quick and friendly but just remember to be as quick as you can because they are always BUSY!

To drink, The Killer (green apple, lemon, ginger, beet, carrot) was refreshing and balanced, the perfect complement to a hearty meal.

The quality of the sausage patty was a solid -5 every bite had some kinda bone matter in it. Disgusting. Felt like i was chewing Christmas lights.

I think the eggs is what made this sandwich pretty gross. And that was just MY order. I dont even want to get into the cream cheese. Only thing that was successful bout my order was a plain bagel.

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.

Beware of Dishonest Business Practices…read more This place has a huge sign advertising FREE coffee with any egg order, so I came in this morning expecting exactly that. I ordered an egg and cheese bagel with salt, pepper, and ketchup, along with a coffee--since, according to their own sign, it was supposed to be free. The man at the register (who I assume was the owner) charged me extra for the coffee anyway. When I politely pointed out that the coffee should be free, he acted clueless and said, "Oh, I didn't know you wanted the special." Seriously? Why would anyone knowingly choose to pay extra for something clearly advertised as free? He then said, "Okay, I'll give it to you," but still charged me the full amount. When I asked again if the discount had actually been applied, he flat-out claimed that it had. I showed him right there that it hadn't, and instead of fixing it, he shrugged it off and said there was nothing he could do--basically trying to keep the extra money. At that point, I walked out. It's not about the price of a coffee--it's about honesty. If you advertise something, honor it. This felt deceptive, shady, and completely unprofessional. Disgusting business practices. I won't be back. Stay away
