    Sesame with jalapeño cream cheese
    Ritvi S.

    Service was pretty quick and a good amount of seating inside. Bagel was on the tougher side and had to use my teeth to pull. Cream cheese hit so hard

    Pretty good bagel spot. Not the best place ever but the bagels themselves are pretty good. Shop is also cool and the prices are pretty reasonable. The special of the day salmon was not my favorite as I found the texture to be off. Should've just stuck with my favorite classic lox. Anyways if in the area I would get it.

    I love Murray's ever since my first time in New York years ago. They're consistent, fast, good people that get your bagels right. I got the whole Megillah and they stuff it to the brim. It's really two bagels in one. I think I would have liked a saltier cream cheese spread to add a little more flavor but loved all the veggies. My friend got a breakfast bagel and loved it as well. Happy to come back here for a great bagel.

    Great bagel place in Chelsea, the lox avo and egg on everything bagels combo was so good and filling. The ingredients are fresh and the bagel was toasted just right. Service was quick and friendly. There's ample seating spaces and classic nyc deli ambience we got seats right away even on busy Sat morning. Def recommend!

    Iced coffee and BECA

    The space here is really cute and spacious, which was a nice surprise in the middle of the city. It's definitely a place you can sit and relax for a bit. Unfortunately, the staff didn't add much to the experience. Even though it wasn't busy, they were pretty transactional and not especially welcoming. I wasn't expecting over-the-top friendliness, but it still felt a little cold. The menu is massive, which honestly felt more overwhelming than exciting. It took a while to sort through all the options, though I appreciated that they had a little "popular picks" section first time visitors (or just anyone who gets overwhelmed by too many options). I ended up ordering the BECA, which was huge and looked great, but it didn't quite deliver on flavor. The avocado kind of took over the whole thing, but weirdly, it didn't have much taste itself. It just muted the other ingredients instead of adding to them. The iced coffee, on the other hand, was genuinely great. It was strong, smooth, and refreshing. Overall, not bad, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again. It gets the job done, but I was expecting a little more across the board.

    Had seafood soup and chicken bagel sandwich. Was just average for lunch. The soup was the highlight.

    The BECA
    jake w.

    Murray bagels is very good! The bagels were great and the sandwich combinations we had were also good! I had the BECA and it was super good. My dad got an omelette bagel and it wasn't quite as good unfortunately.

    I got a bacon egg and cheese poppyseed bagel. It was good but the bagel felt too thick. The price of the bagel was about $8. It is very pricey. The staff was friendly and the order came out fairly quick 5-10 min. The plave has some seating for about 10-12 people and was a bit clean but people do leave a little mess and doesn't seem to be cleaned up fast enough.

    This customized bagel was so good and so fresh. We didn't have to wait in line for that long on this freezing day. It was super nice to have this yummy bagel as breakfast . There are tables to sit in and enjoy your meal. Great customer service!

    Murray's is open early, has great customer service and delicious bagels. Lots of toppings for bagels and a nice place to sit and eat breakfast. Not expensive and I hope to return.

    One of the best bagel spots in the city. Their bagels and smears are great but don't miss out on their lunch sandwiches either. They carry brownies from Fat Witch Bakery which are a great treat. Seating is limited and it's often busy so prepare to take your order to go.

    The Woodstock on poppy seed bagel
    Valeria B.

    Oh, Murray's, where do I even begin? If bagels were a love language, this place would be shouting "I love you!" from the rooftops. My friend went with the Woodstock on a poppy seed bagel, and let's just say, the addition of bacon was IT. Now, as a gluten-free gal, I was mentally prepared for a bagel that could double as a doorstop. But lo and behold, the Beca on a gluten-free bagel (hold the cheese) was shockingly delicious! Soft on the inside, crispy on the outside--it was good. Murray's nailed it, and I left with zero gluten regrets. If you're looking for bagel heaven with a bacon upgrade, this is the spot.

    We visited mid-morning on a Friday and the line was fortunately short…read more INTERIOR: Small shop with limited area to wait for orders. SERVICE: Friendly. Orders completed timely. 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.

    The bagel itself is pretty solid. It's fluffy and got a nice texture to it. Honestly though, I'm…read morenot sure I really fugg with the whole concept. You cannot order a single bagel, you must order your bagels in 3s. So if you're not a big back and instead are a loser with no friends, you might have more bagels than you can eat. The bagels come whole and you're supposed to rip them and dip them into the cream cheese, and there's many smears to choose from, which is a plus. However, this requires a two hand situation, which means it's difficult to eat on the go, and the seating inside is limited. I did not realize this at first and I was trying to slice my bagel in half with a butter knife, and I failed and started ripping it to shreds in a fit of passion and rage. That when I saw their neon sign that says "GRIP. RIP. DIP," which sounds sexual, and realized that's the concept and intention. My advice--if you're gonna visit, come with a couple friends so you can try the bagels without having to eat 3. And bring hand sanitizer so you're not ripping up the bagel with your filthy subway fingers.
