    Proof I ordered sourdough bread, not Rye or whatever was used.
    Daleesa W.

    This was my first time trying this place. Placed an order for pickup through the yelp app. Ordering was pretty seamless. Timeliness of order being ready was great. Hash browns tasted okay, not sure I would order again unless I needed to add more calories to my meal. The main items, our breakfast sandwich's were disappointing. I ordered sourdough bread. After taking my first bite which packed an unexpected flavor, I researched online. Looking at their menu options, and images via a google search, it seems whoever made our sandwiches confused RYE with SOURDOUGH. Definitely not the taste we chose or were expecting. I would have preferred for my order to NOT be ready early, and instead CORRECT, as ordered and paid for. If I choose to give this place a 2nd chance I will definitely check my order before leaving and possibly consider ordering in person. I didn't see an option to request bread to be toasted, so that is the other thing I would address. Pictures attached

    Lox bagel

    This place down the street from us seems like a local spot and we can see why They have bagels, muffins, breakfast, and all for a good price (a bagel is like $1 ) Service is also super friendly. This is gonna become our spot fs Lox bagel ($17) - this bagel was HUGE and they really packed the lox. Had this as 2 meals- fresh ingredients and chewy bagel Instagram- @joangela.eats

    Bagel with salmon capers onions cream cheese tomatoes

    Grab and go ( not a long wait approximately 10min). Had a plain bagel with salmon, onions, tomatoes, cream cheese, and capers. Overall, it was an average experience. The bread was soft, and the salmon seemed fresh, which was a plus. However, the bagel didn't stand out as anything extraordinary.

    Can't recommend this place enough. Food was great and owner was very hospitable. We visited this place two days in a row that we stayed in the city. I picked up the #14 (lox bagel) both days, portion size was great and very fresh. We picked up a variety of other items including croissants and muffins; all were excellent. The place is clean and has a small eating area inside, or you can take it to go which is what I saw a majority of customers do. The place stayed consistently busy (and I can understand why), but the wait isn't long at all. Go check them out!

    The good's great at this neighborhood deli.  Look at that line for breakfast!

    The food is great. But we had to wait 20 minutes to get our order of eggs & hash browns. NEVER AGAIN

    Living here at the bagel shop for sure!  $15 egg sandwich
    Doug W.

    I've read the reviews, I've been a few times, and I have a very different and way more accurate, IMO, view of this place. It's one of the few bagel spots in the area (that you'd even actually want a bagel from) but upon my last visit I finally determined they aren't that great. The bagels themselves are a tad too dense and a smidge too small... When factoring in the "NYC price" as someone put it; I can't condone coming here. They are NOT fast, as another reviewer stated, and they charge $5 for a bagel with cream cheese. Guess how much they charged me for a BEC.... Granted I added a hash brown.... .... $14.85!! Never again! Was it good? Yeah, it was really good but so is a full meal anywhere else; they don't allow dogs even if in my arms just to place an order; the same $2 drink at any other deli is $4 here... So, what's so great about it? Just the sheer fact that it's all that's here, doing what they do, and they aren't god awful, doesn't make them "awesome." Even if you charge $8 for the BEC, $2 for the hash brown... do you then charge $3 for SPK?? Screw you guys for real; no other spot is ripping people off with a $15 egg sandwich.

I ordered a toasted gluten free bagel with cream cheese and what I got was cold and pale. I took a bite and it was disgusting. Many gluten free bread products need to be toasted to be edible which is why I always get them toasted. My receipt said toasted. The bagel was pale and cold. And falling apart. A different bagel store refused to sell their gluten free bagels untoasted. At least they didn't give me food that I couldn't eat. I will not be going back to NYCB&CH anytime soon because that experience left a bad taste in my mouth...literally. But if I do I will make sure to check my bagel before I go.

The service was very friendly, the food was even more so. I was absolutely blown away with the amount of fresh, hand-made cream cheese / butter / spread selections - some of the ones that were available when I came were: Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter, Garlic Parsley Butter, Walnut Raisin Cream Cheese, Strawberry Cream Cheese, Cinnamon Roll Cream Cheese, Olive Cream Cheese, Nutella Chip Cream Cheese, Lemon Poppy Cream Cheese, Jalapeno Cheddar Cream Cheese, Garlic Herb Cream Cheese, Bacon Cheddar, Chili Crisp, Basil Pesto... I mean seriously the options are ENDLESS. Sweet, salty, savory, you name it. I will admit, it's a bit overwhelming because you want to try it all especially because they're all beautifully displayed. Even after you pick the spread, you still have to choose from one of the many different bagel options too so.. that's the hard part - making choices! There is seating available both in and outside. It's within a great walking distance and easily visible / accessible. Love, love, love!! I'm not from NYC, I was visiting so I will be missing this place whole heartedly - until next time!

We decided to…read moretry out Best Bagel & Coffee after looking up recommendations online. - SERVICE/ENVIRONMENT - We actually placed an online order prior to walking over as we were afraid of long lines and waiting. When we got there, although there was a line, it looked like it was moving fairly quick! Still, our order was ready for us at the pick-up station so we walked in and found a corner spot. It's pretty snug inside, and although there are a few tables and some standing areas, most people got their food and left. There are also some tables outside if you're lucky to snag one! - FOOD - Salmon on Everything Bagel: Nicely toasted bagel, yet still has a nice chew on the inside. Huge portion of Salmon! I wish I could've tried a flavored cream cheese, but didn't want too many flavors mixing at once.

I usually get the Chipotle chicken or the wasabi cc and lox-- both are delicious. They are not cheap with the stuffing and the food is fresh.
