This place was busy when I went. The shop has a modern feel to it. However, that is not to mention that the bagels are not good. They are big, although some of them are formed in a weird shape. It's in a quaint neighborhood, so you can take a walk around to explore the area as well, as you wait for your order, and there is a Trader Joe's nearby. I highly recommend the everything bagel, it costs the same as the other bagels here, but is oh so much better than a plain bagel. It has the right amount of salty sweet balance and I highly recommend you cut it in half and toast it lightly. Unless you're allergic to one of the ingredients of course. read more

Finally made it out to Smith St after a friend told me it was their favorite local spot. I'm definitely a fan of this place and all that's going on. Interior is your typical bagel/deli with a bright clean interior. The line was long but moved very fast. A few 4 tables inside and outside as well. Food: Classic lox - 5/5 - was a good balanced meal. Not a ton of smoked salmon but that helped with the balance of flavors from the other toppings. The bagel was crispy but not burnt and not overbearing. I'll be back to try some more adventurous things next time I'm around, which will be often. read more

This isn't the bagel spot I would take tourists to, but I've come back repeatedly because of their consistent quality. My orders are always correct. The lox is solid, their spreads and bagels are very good. Their fresh juices make the experience for me because I can get my carbs on while also being healthy. And they're really good, the green juice isn't too aggressively green if you know what I mean. They balance it with enough sweetness that it's not entirely out of place alongside an everything bagel. read more

Bagels on Sunday are a nice treat when I've been good and feel I deserve it. This morning I ordered a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese for my girlfriend, and a sesame bagel with garlic herb cream cheese for myself. I was excited to indulge in this little indiscretion. Instead, the bagel was nasty and made me sick. The quality of the bagel was not great; chewy, doughy, just overall unenjoyable. The garlic herb cream cheese was awful. Plus there was way too much of it. I tried to make the most of the situation but I gave up after eating half. Fast forward an hour. I'm driving through New Jersey, nauseous. The rain pounds against my windshield as my heart beats in my throat. Never gotten food poisoning from a bagel before and I'll never be ordering from this place again. read more

Horrible service and the bagels aren't even that good. There are a ton of other places that are way less rude and you can get way better items from. I recommend either Shelsky's or Bagel World if you're in the area. read more

Asked for pork bacon egg and cheese I got Turkey bacon egg and cheese Check your order before leaving. read more

This establishment is amazingly well run. The staff here is so welcoming and you can tell the food is made with great care. I was greeted by Francis when I walked in and was treated with so much care and respect. She was really nice and treated other customers all with the same kind and friendly manners. The bagels are all made fresh and the menu has a wide variety of options to truly enjoy. There's ample amount of seating with pretty efficient wait times and service. Definitely recommend to anybody looking for a new bagel spot or place to hang and eat. read more

Nice bagel place. Typical Brooklyn bagel spot. I got the B7 on an egg everything bage. Delicious and the prices are reasonabl. Next time I come back I want to try the pizza bagel. The staff was very nice and the store itself was modern. I recommend this place for sure. read more

Ridiculously bad. An hour late on an order. I called 20 times and when they finally answered I said so, and they said "OK Sir, do you understand we're a busy store? Just because you call if we're busy doesn't mean we're going to answer." I let them know it's not the last word - they can't talk to customers like that. The guy said "you can't talk to me like that and hung up." If you like outrageously bad treatment and service and obscenely late orders, sure, knock yourself out. read more

Smith St Bagels is a great bagel shop. I've tried many of the items they offer for breakfast and lunch. I've had some of the Breakfast Sandwich options they have, and also have gotten various bagels with different types of cream cheese. Stuff can get a little messy sometimes, but I always say messy food is the best food. I usually come here when I'm in the neighborhood for work and I am always pleased with the food. The staff is great and I think they offer so many different things for being just a bagel shop. They have burgers, quesadillas, and sandwiches. A variety of spreads and lox. They have fresh juices and healthy salads, and smoothies. They even have a little section with some pastry's. The staff is great and friendly and they are usually quick to get my order done. Would recommend to try them out. read more

This place embodies all of the best qualities of an NYC neighborhood bagel spot: good, cheap and open late (or in this case 24/7). It's not easy to find a $2 coffee anymore it seems like, but they've got it here. I love the vegan options, including the pizza bagels, I had the vegan margherita and it was so good. I've also had the vegan cream cheeses, bagels with fresh vegetables like tomato, avocado, cucumber and onion, always great. I also recommend their iced latte and ask for vanilla syrup. They brew Counter Culture Coffee, that's what initially got me to stay and order the first time I came in. The place is also clean and enjoyable to be in, lots of light. A perfect bagel place! read more

Loved them - i live in Md and there is nothing even near to new york bagels.. im sorry i got only 14.....even the cream cheese spread tasted better ..... read more

Great bagels but iffy service. So close to knocking off a star for their chaotic kitchen, but alas...the bagels here are just too good!! My first trip here was pretty daunting - with so many unlabeled bagel and cream cheese options, how does one know what to pick here? The shop was completely packed for the morning rush and my server was in no mood to explain the offerings. As a result, I decided to just order the Brooklyn Lover from the menu (lox, cream cheese, dill, avocado, cucumber, tomato, lemon juice) and promised myself to come back at a less busy time to explore all their options. Once I got my order, I found that it was a Mocha Special instead (lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion, capers). I quickly asked to fix it, and it took 10 minutes for someone to finally go back and remake my bagel. The whole process seemed confused - there was lots of yelling across the restaurant. Even the cashier felt uncomfortable and apologized a few times. But FINALLY, when the food came...the bagel really was delicious! The bagel was perfectly toasted, the lox and cream cheese combo was a match made in heaven, and there was a generous serving of creamy avocado smack dab in the middle. A lox bagel seriously can't get better than that. My friend ordered the french toast bagel (slightly sweet bagel with a touch of cinnamon) with guacamole cream cheese - this was an interesting combination of sweet and savory, but was really unique and surprisingly tasty. Overall, I really liked this local bagel shop for all their fun and interesting bagel and cream cheese options, their fresh ingredients, and the reasonable prices. However, the service could use a lot of improvement. Next time, I'd aim to come back when it isn't peak hour. read more

Smith St bagel shop is a nice place to get breakfast. Ordered half a dozen bagels, 1/4lb of tuna and 2 eggs on a multigrain bagel. Bagels have a nice soft chewy consistancy. The eggs werent exactly scrambled but they were fine. Tuna was tasty. They have a nice array of spreads too. read more

Okay, tried this place twice. Food is good but cashier attitude seems off. They screwed up one of our orders on a busy Sunday morning. Certainly we are patient and don't mind, but when my friend went to check on the order status because two of three orders were done the cashier got a little snippy. So we waited another 10 minutes. Order totally lost and redone. I tried again the next day, felt like I got a bit of an attitude for asking for more napkins. Guys at the counter are great, bagels and options are good, wish it was a good experience from start to finish. read more

Surprisingly, of the 3 bagels I had during my stay in NY. This place takes the champ title. Perfect chew still light and fluffy. Spread was good and staff was super nice and bagel it just tasted amazingly fresh! (I liked this over zabars, & zuckers) I would definitely return here next time to try a few different kinds & some of the composed bagel sandwiches! read more

YUM! This place was overall my favorite bagel shop in NYC. I ordered a very safe but classic everything bagel with plain cream cheese but it did not disappoint! The cream cheese was almost fluffy, it was soft, the perfect texture. They had a variety of pastries and food items to choose from and they were super inexpensive. I paid less than $3 for my bagel and it was a great size, super filling, and held me over before heading out to dinner later that night. I think this may be a given in the city but bring cash!!! This place was only taking cash when I visited, have it on you just in case. I ordered to go but there were plenty of seating options inside and the line moved very fast. Again, my favorite bagel shop, I could eat many many more!! read more

Never get delivery from here. Tried three times (remained hopeful) and every time items missing and incorrect.

Great bagels and quick / friendly service. Caught them right before closing and super great experience and even gave us some of the about-to-go-in-the-trash bagels. Super great plain bagel with cream cheese and lox. Just the ticket!! read more

the restaurant is small and unpretentious and offers many fresh spreads and very good bagels.

Great and fun and fast professional service The food was awesome the prices is worth it Really delicious bagels sandwiches just like home. read more

Ordered bacon & eggs on a roll and a iced coffee. It cost $12 .47. Prices are way too expensive here. When I saw the cashier ring up my order I was charged $2.00 extra for the bacon and I had already been charged for the bacon and eggs on a roll and when I asked what's the extra $2.00 for she said this is turkey bacon. I said I didn't ask for Turkey bacon. She said that's all we have. I said it would've been nice if I was told that's all they had before charging me $2.00 extra for something I didn't ask for. Then the cashier said "Do you not want it?" Bad service here in Carroll Gardens. Go someplace else. read more

Disorganized service-- where they take orders in the line changes every time I come. They also charge paying customers a dollar for a cup of water in 95 degree heat. This policy is unclear; I'm inconsistently charged for the water. Egregiously slow service. Poorly managed. Overpriced. read more

Smith St Bagels is definitely a solid 4 stars but personally I feel like for their price points their bagels are a tad underwhelming compared to other bagel spots I frequent. First, we went on a Saturday morning just after 11am. Luckily I placed an online order because I was not sure how bad the lines were going to be and I was so glad I did. The lines were wrapped around the store, though it's not a big space to begin with. There were also a bunch of delivery folks who were hovering around the cashier area waiting to pick up their orders so it definitely felt a tad chaotic in the store. Got my order with just 2-3 minutes of waiting to get the cashiers attention Second, we ordered two breakfast sandwiches- an everything bagel with two eggs and an everything bagel with bacon egg and cheese. The total came out to be over $10- is that normal? I can't remember but in my local bagel spots I do not think I've paid over $10 for the same two orders. Anywho, for the sake of trying a new spot, I didnt mind. Overall, the bagels are fine, nothing stellar but it was not bad either. Though I must say, my husband was a little thrown off by the size of his bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Not a lot of eggs and probably 2 pieces of TURKEY bacon at most which feels little compared to other spots. It was nice to try out this spot- maybe will try the lox next time. read more

Good selection of bagels and spreads, along with salads and juices if you're feeling healthy. I got a whole wheat everything bagel with tofu scallion cream cheese and lox. Tasty, but definitely tiny portions for the ~$10 that I'm paying... probably about half the size of an Ess-a-bagel. Generous slathering of cream cheese, but needed waaaay more lox. I was left craving more, which is something I've never experienced after eating a New York bagel. Overall, tasty but needs a lot of work on portions and ratios. read more

Don't know about their bagels, but if you were looking to be ignored for 10 minutes at 6 am on a Sunday with only one other customer in the store,, you came to the right place. I gave up and walked out although they do have an impressive, looking cute keyword, looking vegan menu, but maybe if they paid more attention to their flesh and blood customers standing in front of them instead of their DoorDash orders, they might be doing a better business read more

I've stayed near this area the last few times I've visited NYC and thus Smith St Bagels is typically my go-to. It's one of the few bagel places in the area that offers an Egg Everything bagel, which is my personal favorite. However, they don't often have too many of them, and sometimes they might not have them at all. (I've gone so far to ask as when they might come in...but have sometimes been disappointed.) I usually get the toasted Egg Sausage w/ Cheddar and it's a great size for me and cooked well. Bagels, when fresh, are nice and soft and chewy. I also sometimes get a toasted Sesame w/ apple cinnamon cream cheese, and love the large, actual chunks of apple(!) that come with the cream cheese. Service is also always fast and speedy for me. Only minus a star because the bagels aren't necessarily as big as some other bagel spots in NYC. Also, of note, the place is no longer 24/7 as it used to be :( read more

Been in the area a long time. They are the only spot now that's open late that makes their own bagels. CAN'T understate how big that is when u need it. And the bagels are very good. Not too doughy like some places now make em! (to be fully transparent Bagel hole in park slope is my favorite bagel still.... small... well done.... perfection) As far as the food everything i've had is very good. Big fan of their different tuna salads for a sandwich for lunch. The salads are a very good value. Lotta places charge too much for a friggin salad these days! They give u a good size one for 9$ or it might be 10$ now actually. Lox sandy very tasty and it's loaded. Guys behind the counter cool always working fast. Noha one of the people i've gotten to know and she runs a tight ship! Sunday mornings can be a bit busy like any other legit spot in any area! I use the online ordering which is also very clutch. read more

Smith Street Bagels opens at 6am which is much earlier than most Bagel shops in Brooklyn (Gertie @9am, R&D @8am). This morning I ordered an everything bagel with vegan scallion tofu scream cheese and lox. Smith Street had several vegan offerings including scallion and plain tofu cream cheese for no additional charge, vegan cheese, and an entire vegan pizza bagel menu. The amount of lox was light compared to other places in the city and the cucumbers didn't seem like they were sliced fresh for my order, but overall it was a decent bagel and didn't fall apart when I ate it on my flight - which is a pretty big win. read more

Placed an order at 12:45. By 1:45 order had still not come and the restaurant was not picking up their phone. We called seamless and at that point were told that the order was 5 minutes away. A half hour later still no food, still no communication from the restaurant. By 2:45 we had to call seamless and cancel at that point. Only worth it if you're going in person or picking up and even then there are better bagels in the neighborhood (brothers bagels or la bagel delight are 5/5, haven't had court street bagels in a while but remember them being good too). read more

The bagels are fresh and the cream cheese is perfection. Always a must when you're in the area.

I don't even like bagels but I love this place. These are the best bagels I have tasted in a while. Their bagels are really fresh. You know how sometimes when they toast the bagel for you and it gets hard when it cools off? It doesn't happen to these bagels. They still remain soft and yummy. Their garlic & herb cream cheese is on another level. The girl who works the cashier in the mornings is super sweet and nice. Service is very quick and easy. read more

My go to bagel spot! Bagels are solid, and the prep and service is fast. Bagels are fresh, and they have great cream cheeses. Best part of the place is the hours though: this place is open 24 hours!! On so many occasions this place has saved my late night cravings for a hot fresh bagel. They also deliver too which is nice for the days I don't want to get out of my pajamas in the mornings :) read more

Decent bagels, good cream cheese. But they don't serve pork bacon which is a deal breaker for me! If you're not hankering for a true BEC you may be satisfied. (Hot tip: Court St. Bagels is better, with much friendly customer service.) read more
