Try: Avo and Smoke and B.E.C. Bagels! Why: We got the Avocado and Smoked Salmon, which was also topped with arugula, pickled onions, tomato, and a lemon to squeeze. I liked that it comes opened faced so it was easier to eat while also filling and satisfying. We also tried a Bacon (vegan), Egg, and Cheddar Cheese, and enjoyed it. The vegan bacon was crispy and cheddar cheese melted on scrambled eggs was yummy. Both on a toasted everything bagel. I washed it down with a refreshing Cinnamon Bun Iced Latte. Notes: Narrow store for take out with no seating. We took our food and walked to Central Park to enjoy breakfast since it was a beautiful spring morning. Pastries at front all looked delicious too so I'll need to come back and try. Workers were welcoming and friendly. They got backed up since it got busy but the wait wasn't too long for our coffee and bagels. Solid breakfast all around. read more

Service was slow and the staff was very rude. 8:55am may 15th Bagel was so so. I wish I hadn't gone there. read more

Cute little bakery and we were so glad to find one that was gluten free and nut free. Service was a little slow and they made a few mistakes on our order, but they were very busy. The granola bowl was terrific! We also had breakfast bagels- fresh, and tasty. Could not tell they were gluten free. Will try this place again ! read more

Amazing dedicated gluten free bagel shop / bakery with lots of dairy free/ vegan options as well. They have pizzas, bagels, sandwiches, baked goods, and drinks. Just be aware this is a grab and go spot but not a bad walk to the park. read more

Upon entering it was very cute but cramped. There is nowhere to sit it's grab and go. I told them I had researched them and came all the way from Buffalo, New York to try their bagels as they are all gluten free which kind of garnered a little smile. I chose a slice of Margherita pizza and my husband chose a slice of pepperoni. We had them heated up and packed to go. We also picked up two egg bagels and two cinnamon raisin bagels, both of which I am carrying in my backpack on the way home today. The pizza was excellent the service not so much. I wished them well and hope they would succeed that wasn't met with much more than a very small Thanks. I think they would do better with more enthusiastic service and maybe the ability to have a few tables and chairs set up. I did also get a café Americano my husband got a pumpkin spice latte. Both were excellent. Edited to add: Had both the egg and the cinnamon raisin bagels - excellent and have the chew and texture of a wheat bagel - very tasty. read more

I had no idea this spot was gluten-free until after I read the reviews online. That being said, I have a different view of bagel now but I would 100% prefer a regular bagel over this. The bagel was thoroughly seasoned on both sides but the cream cheese was really gooey and melted off. Inside of bagel was dry and I threw out 1/4 of the bagel just because it wasn't tasty. I was a fan of the chocolate babka though as it was not too sweet and soft. All of their desserts looked super appealing. read more

We love discovering a new (to us) dedicated gluten free bakery. I've seen reviews stating that the staff were cold, but that wasn't our experience. We found them to be cheerful and very hard working - the place was very busy. The space is small with no seating but the variety was broad. There were several kinds of pizza by the slice, bagels, and all types of enticing sweet baked goods from donuts to cookies. My bagel was outstanding and my partner loved the Margherita pizza. I reduced by one star because their chocolate chip cookies were truly mediocre which was unexpected. Overall, though, we were very happy with our experience. read more

I've only been to the Chelsea location, so this is my first time in the UES location! I had the vegan bacon, egg, and cheese on the superseed bagel and it was delicious!! I'm amazed how this place offers BOTH vegan and gluten-free options. It was super flavorful and the vegan bacon was pretty impressive!! The service is a little slow as they have mobile orders at the same time and when I went, only one person cooking. I wouldn't come here if I was in a rush, but the food was really good! It's more of a to-go shop so there is limited seating! Overall great place and look forward to returning:) read more

Modern Bread and Bagel - Vegan Bacon, Egg, and Cheese of the Superseed Bagel (V) - Bakeries Near Me - New York, New York

Best gluten free bagel I've ever had. The lox was good and it completed the bagel. The price was ridiculous for a simple bagel and lox with cream cheese, but i have to understand I am paying the gluten free tax on it. read more

Gluten-free baked goods, bagels and pizza in the UES. Kosher. I finally made it to one of their locations after receiving recommendations from several people, including some who are not gluten-sensitive! Takeout only (no seats). I am gluten sensitive and have been craving a donut during Chanukah. I had one if their special flavors - Black and White cookie - SI GOOD! I treated myself to a "bacon" egg and cheese on a bagel for lunch (I am a native New Yorker and I don't remember the last time I had a BEC and it made me so sad lol.) I had it on a plain bagel and it really got the spot! The "bacon" was perfectly crispy OMG. I was going to eat half and save the rest but ended up finishing it. I also got double chocolate zucchini bread - so good! Almost like having a brownie. My friend who is not gluten-sensitive got the special chocolate chip cookie dough babka. She enjoyed it so much that she ate the whole thing. I overheard one of the customers telling another customer that this place has his favorite gluten-free pizza. I was also told by an acquaintance that he loves the spicy feta open-faced sandwich. I am so glad I finally made it to one of their locations and can't wait to try more of their food in the future. read more

I came here becasue I'd been to the one in Topanga Canyon and I loved it. I wanted to love this one, but the problem is that they run out of food. When they are telling you that they run out of bagels by 10:30 am then, you know there's a lot going on. There were no bagels and they had some cheese bread upon which they could make a sandwich. At least, that's what they said. I'm not sure because I never saw it. The goods were the thin mint, the peppermint brownie, the blueberry bread, and the chocolate babka. So, I did have a couple of slices of the pizza and honestly, I could have passed. It just wasn't great. I did go next door and found some great treats. BTW, if you aren't going to put cheese on your pizza, don't bother. The white spreadable goo wasn't cutting it and it was the same on each pizza. The pizza's looked much better than they were ever going to taste. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, however, it's a huge problem when you are out of everything else. Something that I heard repeated to one customer after the next. The women working there were very, very nice and very helpful. I think I got a bit of an extra treat because of that. But, the woman was nice and I appreciated it. But, it wasn't enough to make an ok experience, stellar. And that's what I was looking for. read more

My boyfriend has many food allergies, so to find this place was a Godsend. They list all of their allergens both online and in front of their items. Raven helped us figure what to pick out and was incredibly helpful. She really made the experience that much better. Very kind and knowledgeable and accommodating. Will definitely be back to this location for not only the exceptional service but also the food! The food was excellent and you can't even tell it's gluten free. My boyfriend and I got quite the array of different bagels and pastries. As well as the pizza. We loved it all. It's a cute little shop and very warm. read more

SERVICE - located on the upper east side near the 77th street station - no indoor seating, take out only - interior is spacious enough for 10-15 people to stand - display of pastries and flatbreads - workers are friendly and helpful with menu suggestions - food served quickly - restroom located inside MENU - bagels, sandwiches, pastries, and other quick brunch items - all gluten free - vegan and vegetarian options - average price ($17 per sandwich) FOOD - vegan the big show (7/10): warm super seed bagel sandwich with scrambled just egg, melted vegan cheese, and a mushroom sausage patty. The modifications to make it vegan were $3 extra. Out of the warm breakfast sandwiches, this seemed to be the most flavorful vegan friendly option. I liked the texture of the mushroom patty and appreciated how it did not have an extremely artificial taste. The cheese on mine was concentrated on one end of the bagel. I ended up adding a good amount of ketchup on top for some acidity, and would have liked a hot sauce as well. WOULD I GO BACK? Yes! The bagel was good for a gluten free and vegan option. read more

Previously my favorite gluten free breakfast spot but this visit was so disappointing. While the brioche donuts were amazing the bagels were mid at best and very obviously gluten free. The service was super slow and not particularly friendly even though it was pretty empty at the time. Really disappointed. read more

After a nice hot stroll in the area with my little brother and his wife we saw quite a few people inside and thought we should try it. The service wasn't the best, the cashier and the person gathering our items both seem to have a chip on their shoulder. The reason they might have been irked is because I asked what "Babka" was and where did it originate from? Had no idea it was originally from Poland & Ukraine and very popular amongst the Jewish community. All 5 items were really good, not too sweet or heavy. The line inside was unorganized people people ordering pizza, bagels, and pastries (like us). Next time I in NYC I will try a different location of theirs. read more

Great sweets. The pumpkin loaf was really nice and not overly sweet. There was a cinnamon swirl type pastry with cream cheese frosting that was far too sweet and a bit heavy (I don't recall the name of it, but I was told it's pretty popular). Service was good. read more

I haven't been able to have a bagel with Egg and Cheese on it in so long, and this did not disappoint!

I cannot wait to go back in the future in any of their locations. read more

I had a terrible bagel here, it was so sad. I have nothing else to really say but i have to type 85 characters in order to leave this review. read more

So nice to have a location on the UES now. Everything is gluten free. They have the best everything bagels. I often pick up 1/2 dozen to take to friends and family when traveling. They don't have a vacuum sealer like the UWS location, but they will put your bagels in a brown paper bag to keep fresh. Other notable faves here are the breakfast burrito. This location also has pizza after 11am. I found it tasty. It takes time to get your order here. Ordering ahead online is recently, but I order in person because online didn't have all the options for everything. A solid place. The UWS location is still my fave, but a few modifications and this location will be 5 stars. read more

Modern Bread and Bagel is settling in to their new location on the Upper East Side. The employees are very nice and I definitely loved the Everything Flagel and Jalapeño Cheddar Cream Cheese. I'm thinking it's a 3 and 1/2 Star overall rating but I'm being kind because I really enjoyed the meal. My issue is there's no seating! It looked like a lot of wasted space inside that could have had a counter and stools. The other issue is the June special was an Everything Flagel for $4.03. My receipt looks like I paid more. Very confusing how they tally the bagel and then add more for cream cheese. I will admit the total price is only about 60 cents more than my favorite bagel cafe near home. Due to the total inconvenience of eating a breakfast here I doubt I'll return very soon. I was very lucky that Eli's on 79th and Third Avenue let me sit at their table but it cost $4.36 for my coffee! If I find a park or public space to sit I'll be back. Today I wasn't prepared and I was HANGRY!! Oh Yeah, the pastries look delicious!! read more

Staff and customer service are great. However the prices are unreasonable. Spice cookies are $17.50 for a small package. I find the bagels are very salty. I love the cinnamon raisin and sesame seed. Not too salty with great texture. read more

Amazing Gluten free food It sets the gluten free bar high I don't know that I will ever eat bagel that good and donut that amazing again that's gluten free. read more

I am rating this as if I need to eat gluten free. My fiance is gluten free so we came in as she hasn't had a fresh bagel in a long time. I ordered the B.E.C with added homemade chili jam that they have and she got a sesame bagel with chive cream cheese. The bagel was very good for a gluten free bagel. It obviously isn't as good as a normal bagel but you shouldn't go in really expecting that. The BEC was tremendous with the chili jam. It was sweet and spicy and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The chive cream cheese was also great. We also got the cinnamon roll which was also tremendous. If you are gluten free you should definitely check this place out. read more

Everything is gluten-free, what a haven for me! My only regret is that I'd taken more stuff with me. Their lox sandwiches were savory and their bagels tasted excellent and as chewy and soft as I remember gluten-filled ones tasting. Their selection is honestly so wide, I only wish they'd open a location closer to my home. Here's to gluten-free chains expanding! read more

My bagel was AMAZING but they need a little help on the ops side to really nail the bagel biz. The review mentioning a roach problem made me worry a little but I saw nothing wrong in my food. This is the first decent bagel I have had since discovering I needed to be gluten free in 2006!!!! So good I feel I should come into the city before I visit gluten free family out west and bring a dozen. Not 5 stars as CS needs a little work. Just the employees need a little training and direction, kindness from their managers. read more

Quick drive from the Bronx to and from. I was able to buy my delicious gluten free dairy free sesame seed bagels from the nice workers! The bagels taste like regular bagels and I wish they had a Bronx location so I could buy from them every other day lol.

A celiacs dream Cute shop with quick service and order ahead of you so choose. The baked goods are a bonus on top of phenomenal breakfast sandwiches read more

A favorite spot for my celiac family members, everything is gluten free, plus tons of dairy free options for those with gluten & dairy issues. My dad loved the pizza, reminded him of the pieces he used to get as a kid. He also loved the strawberry doughnut. He's been talking about both for 2 days! The excitement of seeing someone with celiacs be able to pick anything in a restaurant/ bakery is a great thing to witness. I had a raisin bagel with vegan cream cheese, was delish. My mom had a sesame bagel with vegan cream cheese as well & loved it. This is the second location we've tried & both are consistent. (14th st was the other, definitely will try UWS for their next visit). Only downside is there is no seating, so was tough to wait to eat until we got back to their hotel. read more

This is a popular gluten-free spot on the UES, but my experience was terrible. The store is tiny and becomes unbearably cramped when busy, with no clear system for ordering versus picking up. They seem understaffed and overwhelmed--at one point, they were backed up 17 sandwiches because they can't keep up with the flood of online and in-store orders, and it seems like only one person is preparing everything. The order pickup process is a mess. They barely call out names, and one woman waited 40 minutes for a simple bagel with cream cheese because they never announced hers. We had to wait an extra 10 minutes because they completely butchered my girlfriend's name--worse than a Starbucks-level mistake. The food itself is decent, especially for gluten-free, but they clearly rely on being one of the only good options in the area to get away with awful service. read more

EXTREMELY rude manager. Came in to order (as I do once a week). Wanted my egg to be an omelette (as I do every week). The manager goes "no we're not doing that." I told her I get that same order every week and if she can please ask the kitchen. She very rudely goes no I'm the manager we're not doing that. Lost a customer over her irrational stubbornness. Hope ownership sees this. read more

Yeah I guess not everything needs to be "reinvented" I shouldn't wait 15 minutes for a bagel, it's meant to be convenience food. They don't serve black hot coffee?! They don't have whole grain anything but white flour is somehow healthy? read more

I had the pleasure of enjoying many menu items at MBB. The toasted sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese was heaven. With gf it's always best to toast bread products in my opinion. I hadn't had a decent bagel in years due to needing it to be gluten free. We tried the French toast sticks, several kinds of cookies, and doughnuts. My husband is not gf, but he enjoyed everything as well. I have been wishing to return ever since, if only we lived closer (MD). Obviously, there's nothing like the 'real' thing in all its gluten-y goodness, but as someone who is constantly deprived of baked goods, this was a real home run for me! read more
