WOW! A 100% gluten-free bagel place. Sign me up. Modern Bread and Bagel is a must for those of us with Celiac Disease! We made this a priority during our vacation and visited it twice. I loved the fact that there were tables, chairs, and a restroom in this location. There are lots of great options for the bagels, whether you choose a simple spread or make a sandwich out of it. No matter what you choose, it is delicious. The service was quick, the staff friendly and it's all that I could hope for in a bakery that wisely caters to those needing to avoid gluten. read more

Modern Bread and Bagel is a must! I went to this location about two weeks ago. I loved the fact that there were tables, chairs, and a restroom (the drive here and back home is long). This place is one of the few places my daughter can eat without worrying about cross contamination. The service was quick as we went early on Saturday. Their babka latte is delicious and chocolate zucchini bread will have you craving for more (mom's gotta try some stuff too). My daughter enjoyed her breakfast sandwich. We enjoyed the cinnamon roll or bun, babka, and fresh breads at home. It was such a nice treat and can't wait to come here again! I'm craving a babka latte now! read more

Traveling with a gluten- and dairy-free in-law with very little travel experience was stressful because the unique dietary restrictions drastically reduced the options. Additionally, my wife and I wanted them to enjoy NYC and not be worried about what they're going to eat. Modern Bread and Bagel didn't just deliver on offering a menu that allowed her to choose something she might enjoy, they delivered on gluten- and dairy-free food that could have fooled me into thinning otherwise! Here, you won't find any of the stereotypical sad, dense, dry breads of the numerous grocery store brands producing gluten-free products. The Avo & Smoke open faced bagel is loaded with smashed avocado and smoked salmon. Without the bright, acidic freshness from the pickled onions and lemon, the meal would have easily been too heavy and fatty. Again, it is open faced and the avocado tended to squeeze out of the bagel hole so it is a bit messy - I do not recommend eating it on the go. Now that you're not going to attempt eating this while walking, you'll need to find somewhere to sit. This is the tricky part. Seating is extremely limited. The smaller tables are cozy - meant for two people, four if two people don't mind sitting on laps or half of the bench. There are two larger tables that can comfortably seat four. This might not make dining in a big deal, but it is busy in the morning because like you, everyone else in NYC is coming for breakfast. If there are no seats, being watchful for clues when a table might be opening up will help you snag a seat. And if that doesn't work and the weather is nice out, al fresco is always a lovely option. Remember: didn't feed the pigeons! read more

The whole place is gluten free and very popular! They were out of quite a bit by the time I got there mid day on a Sunday but I ended up getting a caramel iced latte, tiramisu loaf, and chocolate rugelach. All 3 were very good. read more

The pretzel bagel...delicious! Thank me later! Everything is absolutely scrumptious and I love that it's a gluten-free paradise! The orange loaf is also so good! I have no complaints! Always great service and good vibes! I come back every time I touchdown in NYC, it's a must! read more

Did not even realize these bagels were gluten free, but this was a solid tuna bagel. There's a lot of seating but it does get packed at times and there's less seating for larger groups. read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - Za'atar Tuna Salad Sandwich (DF) - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I really enjoyed my bagel here--I got the combo with fried egg/avocado, harissa aioli. It was perfect---not too dry of wet even though there was no cheese. I didn't detect any taste or texture difference with it being gluten free. Theres a variety of options too so I'll be back to try here combos. I don't think a plain bagel and cheese would be as good here compared to other bagel spots locally BUT the variety in bagel sandwich combos is a plus. Really nice staff as well. Be prepared to wait during peak times--long lines and it's always full when I go read more

I've tried a lot of gluten-free bagels in NYC, and these are hands-down some of the best. Perfectly chewy, flavorful, and satisfying -- no weird texture or aftertaste like you get at other places. The Spicy Feta on an everything bagel was absolutely delicious. Spicy, savory, and packed with flavor -- a solid 10/10. The shop has a super friendly vibe, and the staff make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. There are tons of options beyond just bagels too -- sandwiches, pastries, and even donuts! I brought home two extra bagels and a gluten-free donut for the next day, and everything held up beautifully. The donut was a standout: soft, just the right amount of sweetness, and a really nice treat without being overly sugary. Highly recommend Modern Bagels to anyone -- gluten-free or not. You won't be disappointed! read more

Holy moly I'm in gluten free heaven. I ordered the breakfast grilled cheese and I know New York is expensive but this was cheaper than another less yummy bagel sandwich I had the day before - this was $15ish dollars. I miss this bagel sandwich. It came out nice and hot with large amounts of the homemade onion jam (literally to die for... must be caramelized onions), whose sweeter notes complimented the savory and rich truffle aioli well. The cheddar blend was nice and melty and there was a lot of egg. I gobbled this down but also tried to savor it because so yummy. The sesame bagel itself was soft and didn't crumble. Not too chewy. Decent size. Was tasty for sure but with all the fix-ins I couldn't properly appreciate the bagel flavor. It did seem more moist than the Trader Joe's bagels I typically buy, which I like. There were some gluten free baked goods as well... we went back the next day for their cinnamon rolls and THIS WAS THE BEST CINNAMON ROLL IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I'm pretty excited about it as you can tell. It was so cinnamon-y and fluffy yet dense yet not heavy weighing you down. There was a good amount of the cream cheese frosting and some places skimp out on that. Every single bite was magical and that's hard to perfect. I also miss this. No picture because I was too excited to dive in... easily shared with another person. Heat it up for best yumminess. There are few tables inside and the place is always busy so unless you're lucky, you may have to walk and eat. read more

A MUST for anyone gluten free! Everything is gluten free and so good. Had the best bagel bacon egg and cheese I've ever had. My non gluten free sister also confirmed how amazing it was. They also have gf donuts, pastries and good coffee. Worth the trip. read more

First thing the staff was very nice. The food was amazing. We bought a bunch of different sweet treats. Once we knew it was all Gluten Free that was it. The place was quiet everyone was enjoying the food and drinks. We will be ordering online to have the bagels shipped to our house. And will be back read more

I waited in a long line to get a GF bagel. We ordered, and waited quite a long time for our order....then I went and checked. They had misplaced The order! And meanwhile, ran out of gf bagels! Wtf. They didn't say you're comped next time or anything, what a drag! read more

1000/10 they have figured out the GF bagel! We were floored by the delicious GF options and blown away by the flavors. We enjoyed the BEC and Sweet Billy, in addition to the Latkes and so many baked goods. I highly recommend the Donuts and Orange cake. read more

I built my own open face bagel sandwich here with lox and veggies. It was staggeringly good. Like I could not tell it was a gluten free bagel at all. Great chew, fantastic taste, no skimping on the toppings. 5 stars all the way. I also got a loaf of pain de mie, which was disappointing in every way. Crumbly, grainy, the texture was just bad. I threw most of it away. I would return on my next NY visit to try other things. So nice to have a bakery that is totally gluten free! read more

This place is gluten free which is awesome. It has a long line so prepare to wait. The coffee I got here was ok, they were out of a few syrups but I got the lavender latte which did not have enough coffee in it, mostly lavender syrup. But the bagel sandwich was amazing, it was on an everything bagel with egg salad inside and it was delicious. read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - Jerusalem Egg Salad Sandwich (DF) - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

I very much appreciate a bagel shop and bakery that's dedicated gluten-free and with a good number of vegan options. They have one vegan bagel (the super seed one), and tofu cream cheese spread. There's a couple of vegan sandwich options and I went with the BEC (bacon, egg, and cheese) on the super seed bagel. Aside from the fact that it was nearly $15 when all was said and done, it was delicious, steaming hot, and very filling. So this isn't something that I would buy on a regular basis and only as an occasional splurge now and then, I appreciate having a solid meal option when I need one. I've also had the thin mint cookie that is one of their couple of vegan baked goods, and that was delicious. I think there's also a zucchini muffin that's vegan? Definitely want to try one of those next time I'm in the area. read more

Im not a bagel person, but had to try one while in NYC right?! This place had good reviews, based on yelper recommendations I ordered: everything bagel, toasted, cream cheese w Chives, smoked salmon, arugula, capers & iced late. The bagel was everything I dreamed off, i meant to only have half, but i finished the whole thing. That good!! The coffee not so much, i should have skipped it.. read more

A CELIAC'S DREAM!!! All the baked goods are gluten free (well the whole place is)!! We got a plain bagel with cream cheese and lox! The bagel was near perfect with its crusty outside and fluffy inside!! We also got an affogato donut and a chocolate sufganiyot! The affogato was a bit under flavored (in terms of coffee) but had a great creamy filling/texture! The chocolate sufganiyot was a perfect fluff donut with a sugary chocolately filling!! The staff were super nice and patient but the restaurant was a bit small so there were no tables available. read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - Affogato Donut and Chocolate Sufganiyot - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Modern Bread and Bagel was our first stop on a recent trip to New York. The service is friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. We got a plain bagel with lox and cream cheese. Probably the best gluten free bagel I've ever had. It tasted like an actual bagel. We also got a chocolate sufganiyot and an affogato donut. But we're absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, the tables were all taken, so we found another place to eat. Definitely a place to go if you're celiac or eat gluten free! read more

This place is a dream come true for a celiac person, and still an incredible bagel place for anyone else. My friend who is not GF thought the bagel was to die for! I got the sweet Billy bagel sandwich on an everything bagel and it was everything I've ever wanted in a bagel. The lemon poppy seed cake was also delicious! can't wait to come back here sometime! read more

Stopped in today to get some goodies. As a celiac Modern Bread and Bagel is HEAVEN! I got an everything bagel with chive cream cheese & a tomato slice... it was delicious! One of the best gluten free bagels I have had. I also got a cinnamon roll to try and it was fantastic! Even my son, who doesnt really like my gluten free treats, enjoyed it! The staff were very friendly. The restaraunt / cafe has salads, bagels, and tons of pastries! Theres limited seating inside but we didnt wait long for a table! Will definitely be back. read more

Just had an amazing experience. Walked in at noon ordered twice because we couldn't decide on everything and over the course of our exchange, we received an incorrect bagel. My daughter is celiac and the location is gluten-free so it wasn't like it was dangerous for her that she was too polite to correct them and was just quietly eating the wrong bagel outside. Suddenly one of the employees tapped on the glass to alert us that she had another one for us and it was all smiles and apologies. The food is fantastic, even though it's gluten-free. For my daughter this is absolutely huge because she can just freely eat whatever she wants. For the rest of us, you could not even tell. Great food, amazing staff clean floors very nice location. The best of New York! read more

Was heaven as someone with celiac! Breakfast was great however i wish they offered bacon and sausage that wasn't vegan other than that would recommend! On the pricey side but it's understandable considering its all gluten free read more

While I lovelovelove Modern Bread and Bagel, I have to say I was very disappointed this time around. I come here everyday I'm in NYC, and my usual is always amazing. Today I tried something different. "Let's be NewYorkers, they said!" Ok, I'll have a Sausage Egg and Cheese. (Even if it's vegan sausage, I just want to be a Newyorker for a day) Here's the sitch.... The top of the bagel was not crunchy, the inside was not chewy and it had a weird taste. I attributed it to the vegan sausage and kept in eating. Halfway through, I was done with the weird taste so I decided to open the bagel. It was burnt! I'd never had a burnt bagel before so I couldn't figure that one out. The hot bagels are not toasted as the others are and come from a different part of the kitchen. The person out front did not make it as she had previously made all my other bagels these last few days. :( Now it's my last day in NY and I leave with a bad taste in my mouth. A taste of burnt bagel. read more

So delish. I wanted to eat everything in the bakery, but I only git the Sweet Billy and the Choclate Babka. Weekday morning was quick service. Definitely buy some for later...they sell out! I tried to go in Saturday morning but I didn't have time to wait in the 8-person long line cuz I had to get back to the hotel to pack and checkout. Humble vibes, and everyone is genuinely happy to be there. read more

Bakery heaven! Especially if you're gluten-free. Also if you're vegetarian. I had a breakfast bagel sando with vegan bacon that was excellent. So good I went back the next day and go another bagel and a container of smoked whitefish spread. Pure bliss! read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - Loaded smoke salmon bagel - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Line moves pretty fast and there is some seating inside. I got a plain toasted bagel with plain cream cheese and smoked salmon for $15. The bagel was chewy but I wish it was toasted more (maybe I could have asked for that?) - it didn't really taste like it had been toasted. I also didn't realize this place was gluten free so maybe that's why it tasted differently . read more

Came here with a gluten free friend and had one of the best everything bagels with lox and cream cheese. The pastries were delicious too. Even if you're not gluten free, I highly recommend. read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - Jerusalem Egg Salad Sandwich (DF) - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

The grilled cheese with bacon and onion jam sandwich is sensational. Grab a ton of napkins and don't try to eat this on the move. Honor yourself and the sandwich by sitting down and taking the time to enjoy it. For those who cannot eat gluten, this place is heaven. The staff are young and seemed to enjoy their job. The front tables by the door could have used a little more attention when we got. It got much busier at 9:30 am (on MLK, Jr. day). Grab a thin mint or carrot muffin to complement your matcha latte (unsweetened unless you request it). They made a hot vanilla milk steamer for my son and he was elated. read more

Couldn't tell you it was gluten free from the taste!! Good crunch, fresh toppings, kind service - will become one of my go to spots irregardless of the lack of gluten read more

I'm from Chicago but was visiting New York last week for vacation. I was so excited to try Modern Bread and Bagel, and I was NOT disappointed.

I'm patiently waiting for the day you guys open a location in Chicago...fingers crossed! read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

if you're gluten free, you're in luck!! i love this place!! i love a good NY bagel but and these bagels actually compare very well to a "classic NY bagel" - i for the veggie bacon, egg and cheese on an everything. personally the everything bagel was a bit too salty for me and over toasted as it came a bit burnt on the edges but the bagel itself was fluffy and delicious I definitely want to come back and try more of their menu, the table next to us highly recommend the French toast sticks so i plan to be back and try more of their menu items. they have more than just bagels if you're not in the mood for bagels which is also great! the service was quick and the lady who took my order was very nice! there is some seating inside read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - egg veggie bacon & cheese on an everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

Got a gluten free everything bagel here, which was actually decent. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese and it was so dry. The roof of my mouth even hurt after eating the bagel from how dry it was. I wish I took a picture of the bacon it was so thin and crisp and I swear there was barely any cheese in the bagel. If you come here for a gluten free bagel you should just get the bagel & cream cheese. read more

Definitely and absolutely the worst bagel I ever had. The vegan sausage tasted like it was dipped onion powder. Even the latte was terrible. This was just terrible. read more

The food and coffee were amazing portions and quality which justify the price! A note: they do not have drip coffee only espresso bar options and teas. All of their food is gluten free which is super awesome, they also have plenty of vegan options. The line can get a little long and there isn't much seating available so I would plan to either take out or stake out a table. However it's very cozy inside! And super close to Chelsea market. read more
