A coworker had mentioned that they had gotten a sandwich from Oxford Cafe and really liked it. So…read morewhen I had absolutely zero idea what to get for lunch while at the office, I decided to give them a try. They do a classic city deli mixed salad where you pick your base, toppings, and they mix it for you. It wasn't as good as my gold standard college-area deli, but it was a solid salad. Staff were very nice and friendly.

Really wanted a very latin flavored breakfast burrito and the Luchador hit all the right marks for me. One thing I dislike about a lot of wraps/burritos is that the filling never seems like its enough. That was 100% not the case here. It was very tasty and it's become one of my go-to breakfast options in the area.

I know, I know I said they were a little pricey but since my last review I've become a regular…read morecustomer on the weekends ( 2 everything bagels tasted well with butter, scrambled eggs with jalapeños, and a large hot chocolate), and I must share. The new location on Chambers and Church is premo. Located right by the A, C, E, R, and W trains, and the 2 and 3 trains, not too far from the World Trade Center and Little Italy Pizzeria (my fav), which is right across the street. Jamaica Nala's always got a friendly level of customer service; each customer has their own experience, being greeted and attended to by staff. I love the Atmosphere Warm, welcoming, and cozy, suitable for both quick bites and leisurely meals. I love the fact that the menu spectrum goes from Vegan to vegetarian to meat-eater. Includes a wide range of breakfast and lunch items, such as omelette sandwiches (Farmers, Italian, Western), avocado toast, salads, and more. I love the fact that everything is prepared Fresh and right in front of you, you are even able to speak with the chef should there be any special requests or food allergies. So if you're in lower Manhattan by the World Trade Center or City Hall go to Church and Chambers Street and visit Nala's Bagels and Brunch and tell them Raymond sent you, you won't be disappointed!

Wide variety of menu items and bagels. The quality of the bagel itself was ok, not bad, not great…read more Is it worth the price? Absolutely not. Charging $7 for a bagel with cream cheese is insane. I wouldn't return, simply based on the pricing. You can find another place nearby (cafe, deli) with the same or better quality bagels for much less (I've personally spent $4 in the same neighborhood.) Staff and service are friendly, but that's not cutting it at these prices.

Came here to pick up some bagels and was not disappointed!…read more The shop has lots of classic items you'd expect at a bodega and sandwiches, breakfast meals and lunch items like wraps made to order. I ordered 19 bagels and each was warm and soft. The blueberry one grew on me and became a favorite and loved their French toast one as well which heated well. I also loved their plain, egg bagel, their poppy, their onion, their everything and their pumpernickel. Their Asiago and cheddar bagels were savory as well with plenty of cheese! Staff was polite and friendly, recognizing regulars and asking about their day. I'd definitely recommend!

This year, however, my building raised the rent to insanity, so now I am on sabbatical down by Wall St. Who cares? Right? Well, since I'm down here now, I stumbled onto a new bagel place I never would have found otherwise: Leo's Bagels. Leo's Bagels is amazing! For me, bagels are serious business. I believe I've tried every bagel place in NYC. I definitely have tried the famous ones. I would put Leo's in my top two. I know... I wouldn't have believed it either. I'm looking at these reviews, and I see that some tourists who buy their bagels from Lenders at Safeway don't understand the complexity and care that goes into a NYC bagel. Bagels are an art people, and Leo's bagels are masterpieces. They are the correct texture, density, flavor, and chew. I follow all the best of bullshit articles in the NY Times, NY Mags, etc. I have never seen Leo's mentioned. They should be in the top three every time a list is published. I guess they aren't paying the Vig. I don't know a lot about a lot of things. I know a lot about bagels. Leo's bagels are incredible. If you don't like them, keep your ass in Iowa, carve something outta butter, and don't bother coming to the City.

Place was playing country music…read more I was overwhelmed with the menu. One of the staff members noticed and said, "would you like a menu miss?" I love the manners. You can build your own bagel here. I got a whole wheat everything bagel with turkey maple sausage, egg, havarti cheese, sautéed onions, alfalfa sprouts and spicy mayo. They had a whole staff here, they were all very nice. And they were keeping busy too. This place really had everything from fruit rolls, to homemade salads, almost every type of smoked fish you could think of. It felt like it was Forest Gump talking about all the different types of shrimp. "They had 'eastern Nova Scotia', they had 'everything Nova Scotia', they had 'Scottish salmon', belly lox, gravlax, pastrami salmon, Norwegian salmon, wild pacific king salmon, wild sockeye salmon, organic Irish salmon.... Man I could on and on but then my order was called! The bagel was good. The egg was omelette style if that's your vibe. Honestly the place itself was better than the bagel, perhaps it was just the bagel I got. Maybe I should have stuck with one of the menu options. Nevertheless, the place was cool and the music was good. I'd come back and give it another try!

I had ordered a plain bagel and cream cheese and I think it was a giveaway so I never wrote a review. Came back today. Honestly, either I haven't had a bagel in so dang long or they just grew massive in size. Or this spot makes beyond huge bagels. But she was a beauty. Now I get why it was over $5. Anyway, untoasted egg bagel with scallion cream cheese. Generous amount of spread. Fluffy, chewy and perfectly golden big ass bagel. I didn't peruse the other options for too long because I was running into work. But I did eyeball jalapeno cheddar cream cheese and that's a personal fav. A little bit expensive but it was a pretty amazing bagel. Very clean space on a quiet street in fidi.

There are full tables available as well as counter seating at the window. The steak and guac $22 is a great sandwich. Rating 8/10. The steak is good quality, I can bite right through it and it still has natural flavor. The guac is well seasoned with lots of savory and slightly spicy notes to complement the meaty steak. The bread is soft and holds up very well. The Katsu sandwich $18 is decent but really needs to be eaten right away. The frying is ok but since the meat is thin, the layers of fried breading can overpower the Katsu flavor. The veggies are very good and the sauce is decent but they are so much more powerful than the Katsu so it gets lost in there. Rating 7/10
