The scene is very '70s hippie like with bad art indiscriminately placed with no sense of aesthetic. A bit of a cleanup is in order and a little more attention to detail could spruce it up. But, there certainly is charm in its current state. Simply a great product at a low price point and fast, friendly service. Get your coffee next-door to avoid the air pot pump offerings here. (normally cold or nasty in those air pump things) This is strictly bagels- no need to push the caffeine despite the revenue loss. Just 30+ years of an honest bagel shop focusing on the BAGEL! A lot of variety for only 20$ a dozen. Grab a bag or two and take them to your workmates or your family. A solid satisfying chewy treat! And it can't be beat......

Aside from that, the bagel itself had a nice fluffy, slightly chewy texture that I really liked! The asiago flavor did not come through though. - lox bagel 4/5 : nice ratio if lox to onion, caper, lettuce and tomato! Really enjoyed this one. Wished the bagel was toasted more

The in person shop is great as it is the freshest version to get their bagel. The service was good. It felt a little airport-bus depot ish? Not as homey. Seeing the flavors in a small box on the counter I had to crouch which was a bit odd. Staff was friendly and they seemed busy with something else. But again, I think these are the Best Bay Area bagels now, and not corporate owned as you know how that goes-(ahem Noah's) wish it was a bit busier.

One unisex restroom only. A few tables to sit at. Congratulations on this small mom and pop business serving the community since 1999. The owners were friendly and had a good sense of humor. I ordered their lox Bagel and they only had sesame seed Bagel. I said fine. They asked, "if I wanted it cut in half? Did I want capers, red onions, tomatoes, and cream cheese?" I said, yes. When they finished making my sandwich the husband asked the wife to ring me up for a lox Bagel with "the whole nine yards." I laughed as they rung up the cost of my sandwich. As I unwrapped my sandwich, the smell of the toasted sesame seeds aroused my senses and I knew this was going to be good. My first bite into the sandwich confirmed what my nose was telling me. My wife who is a picky lox bagel eater even liked it after she bite into her half! Support your local business.

I came upon them almost by accident while stopping to charge my car at the Tesla chargers in Strawberry Village and was surprised and delighted to find that "NY Bagels," isn't just a throwaway name like many places -- they actually will bring you back to the wonderful NY bagel you love. I am an instant fan. Funny, charging my car in Strawberry Village has introduced me to some great businesses -- not just the terrific NY Bagels but also the wonderful Thep Lela Thai restaurant.

I had what I always get at delis: matzo ball soup and a pastrami sandwich. The matzo balls were hard and thick, which is one of the two ways to make matzo balls, the other being soft and fluffy. This way isn't wrong, but the other is better. The broth is good, but there was no shredded chicken in it, just tiny cubes of inconsistently cooked vegetable, celery and onion and I'm not sure what all else. The pastrami was quite lean but managed to be fairly juicy. I'm pretty sure it was made from brisket, which is not the canonical pastrami cut. The important part is that it tasted like pastrami and not like brisket, which a lot of would-be pastramis can't manage. Get it "tradition" style on rye with deli mustard. Small place in a yuppie shopping center. Order at the counter, wait (a very short time) for your food to be brought to your table or counter spot. Daily newspapers for you to read.

Having visited New Orleans earlier this year, I was so excited to try this place! As soon as I walked in, I felt like I was transported back to NOLA! There were beads hanging and Mardi Gras decorations throughout the restaurant. Since it was a weekday, there was no wait and we had our choice of sitting inside or out. We opted for inside. Our server was warm and friendly, bringing us water promptly. We started off with an order of beignets. It arrived with three big pieces. They were freshly fried and doused in powdered sugar. So good! My daughter ordered the chicken and waffles, while I decided to try the everything gumbo. The chicken and waffles was huge! It came with several pieces of fried chicken that was topped with freshly minced garlic and came with a homemade spicy sauce. My daughter loved it! I tried a bite and thought it was tasty as well. She ended up taking half of it home. The everything gumbo was also delicious! It was a little thin in my opinion, but the flavor was amazing! It was truly authentic and I could taste all the seafood that was in it. I finished my entire bowl! Unlike the chicken and waffle, it was appropriately sized. When I went to pay the bill, there was a sign that said "free beignets if you pay cash." So of course, I paid our bill in cash! Luckily, I had enough cash on me. Can't pass up a deal like that! All in all, it was a very enjoyable meal! If I'm ever in the area, I'd definitely go back to The Hummingbird!
