    I had been hearing great things sbout Safta's, a new kosher cafe that's opened on the corner of 86th and Broadway I dropped by and loved their coffee as well their delicious bagels. . They also have a great catering menu snd we now habe another great place go buy sliced nova!

    All of the pastries and more!

    Recently discovered Safta's and honestly kind of obsessed. First of all, everyone who works there is as nice as can be....whether it's the guys on the AM shift or the gals on the PM shift. (And I've only been there three or four times now, so pls forgive me if I'm leaving anyone out!) Secondly, this unassuming - from the outside - cafe sets the gold standard when it comes to both cleanliness and tidiness. I mean, the environment is impeccably clean! (And I say this as someone who used to work in food retail: Wow, that's a tough standard to meet, namely when things get hectic. Well, post the pandemic, I'm allll about a clean eatery, so bring it.) Also, I love that it's so welcoming and spacious. One could easily grab a book or their laptop and stay there for a few hours - just hanging and studying or working. Thirdly, their matcha lattes are fabulous! : ) So far, I've only purchased cookies and matcha lattes from them, LOL, but everything was superb. Also, I've ordered their matcha lattes with both dairy milk and pistachio milk -- both options were terrific. So grateful for this soft spot in which to land, especially before or after work. It gets me in a good headspace. : ) Have a lovely day, Katherine AKA Kat

    Purchased a cinnamon babka. Terrible! Hard as rock! Would rather spend my money at Breads Bakery.

    This place is cute. Very New York, everyone was very friendly, had a local vibe. The cashier was…read morevery nice. I like the decor and the way they write everything on the blackboards. It's very colorful. It's also very clean and tidy. My order didn't take long. And my cashier was the one handing out the orders and he had a smile on his face. I got us whole wheat everything bagel with a fried egg, chipotle Gouda, and turkey sausage with chipotle mayo with a hash brown on the side. And when I opened the bagel open I could see the cheese from both ends of the bagel melting apart, I was in heaven. It tasted so good. And the best part was that my bagel didn't fall apart (like some places). Everything was so delicious. I was left very happy and very pleased with this place. I will be back.

    I ordered a bagel today and what I got was inedible. If I…read morecould have gone back I would have but I couldn't so I just wasted $9. 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.

You have the try the pumpernickel everything bagel with za'atar and olive cream cheese. Something I never would've thought I'd like but the ultimate savory slam to your tastebuds! The lemon poppyseed is also very good! PS- try the black & white cookies! I don't have anything to compare them to but it were fresh and so so good for my husband and I's first black & white!

    This is hands down my absolute favorite bagel establishment I have ever been to, and it's also…read moresuper aesthetic, the vibes here here! 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!

    Every time I visit New York, going to a new bagel shop is always on my to-do list! 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. Vanilla Iced Latte: Just OK coffee - nothing to write home about but it was a solid cup of caffeine. - OVERALL - Definitely a great way to start your day in NYC!
