As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

I went with their Member of the Tribe which is one of their more popular items. The sliced Nova and toppings were fresh and flavorful. I found the bagel to just be OK as I have had better elsewhere in the City. Overall, I'd happily return when I'm in the area for another breakfast sandwich. Good food & friendly service made for a very enjoyable start to the day.

Really nice bagel. Super soft and chewy on inside and filling and hard outside. Taste was great…read more Glad this game here. ITS NEW ADDReSS not showing on Yelp! Fulton and New York is location.

Terrific bagel joint to grab a morning coffee and bite to eat, especially after a run or race in…read morethe park. Located minutes from Prospect Park and 2,3,4,5 MTA subway stop. Very busy at times but delicious bagels and a ton of spreads to choose from. Breakfast sandwiches, salads, wraps, and more. Also along the walls and seating areas there are a bunch of bagel images to get a chuckle at. Some seating inside and a few tables on the sidewalk, clean bathroom.

BEST BREAKFAST BAGEL SANDWICH EVER…read more Been seeing this place all over online so had to stop by for breakfast. Went on a Monday so it was relatively slow and the service was quick! It's a literal hole in a wall but there is some seating so you can enjoy your meal. Ordered the classic lox on a sesame bagel and it was very good but the standout was definitely the bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and chili oil (ask for the chili oil on the side cause it can get messy). I think it was one of the best bites I had in NY. I can't wait to go back again and show my fiancé this place!

Probably the best bagel option in the area. Filling portion, soft and chewy, ooey gooey inside…read more They sometimes have a line but honestly not a bad wait and is worth it. They have a small section on the sidewalk to sit and enjoy your bagel too if you didn't want to walk with it!

Listen to a local: don't go to the location on Orchard Street…read more It has a limited menu there-much more upscale with the fish and not a lot of cream cheese options, etc. not a lot of bagel options. This location on Houston Street has everything you need. You just can't eat in. Go here and get your groove on. Wonderful selection of fish, cream cheese, chocolates -everything you can imagine.

Some locations have seating, not all, so check before going. Two locations are close to each other, so if you screw up, it's not the end of the world, only a 6 minute walk. The beet borscht was absolutely the way I wanted it. Just beets, beet juice, and sour cream. Simple and outstanding. The bialy was properly done with poppy seeds and onions, light and delicious. Paired with the nova, capers, red onion, and tomato, lightly spread cream cheese, and closed with a chocolate egg cream, I can't imagine a better way to start the day.

I was in the neighborhood looking for a bagel place to eat and a nice person recommended this spot…read more So I went there to try them out. It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say. Ambiance: 3/5 standers bagel shop nothing really impressive or spectacular. I will say when in the area due to the lack of places to eat that make REAL food. I have come back here and the bagels have been decent. Would like the staff to be more pleasant.
