    Very friendly neighborhood spot with tons of regulars! This spot has been around foreverrr, but recently undergone new ownership, so the quality of the bagels aren't the same as what it used to be imo - they're still decent! The menu is pretty extensive and they have tons of other sandwich options, as well as your typical convenient store finds. The place opens bright and early at 6 am and gets pretty busy in the morning, but the service is thankfully quick. Everything is extremely affordable, unlike Manhattan prices. Some days the bagels are fluffier than others, so it's a bit inconsistent, but this place is still my go-to for a quick deli coffee and yummy bagels!

    The bagels here are not bad! Nice crunch on the outside, good chewy flavor on the inside. A little hint of the sweetness, and this is a darn good bagel. I knock points for the mediocre sandwich. The guy behind the counter let me try the whitefish salad which tasted absolutely disgusting. Then I tried the tuna salad which while better, was overloaded with onions. I should not have ordered it because I ended up throwing away a decent bagel when I should have better thought this one out, rather than throwing it out. I recommend this bagel joint to others, but keep it on the breakfast side of things when looking for what to get with it.

    The best on this block! Always busy, so we usually have to call ahead for a quicker pick-up. We get our breakfast sandwiches but never on a bagel (I know I know, they're called Zee BAGELS, we should probably try a bagel someday) and it hits the spot every time. Kinda hard to screw up a breakfast sandwich though, so their eggs are also nicely cooked and the entire thing cheesy to my satisfaction. Always get the double meat, because without it, it's quite a flattened breakfast sandwich. If I had to pick, definitely get the sausage egg and cheese - it's the sausage patty, not the links, phewww. Their breakfast platter is also ginormous! Those pancakes are the size of my face.

    Great little bagel place! It was a bit to crowded for a small little place . But they have you in and out in a snap! They do have a sign 5 people allowed in at a time but ..... I ordered my lox cream cheese on a pumpernickel bagel, very good! My in-laws and husband had the tuna on everything they said was excellent. I definitely will return.

    My go to bagel spot when I'm home now. Consistently good every time. Plain bagel w/ butter& jelly is my new jam. Tried an everything bagel w/ scallion cream cheese too (flavored cream cheese is more expensive). And the iced coffee hit the spot. I bet this place gets real busy in the morning, I don't usually stop by until 9-10am and there's been a line every time.

    I typically come in here only when I'm the area. The establishment is always clean and opens early…read moream 5am which is a such a plus if you work extremely early in the morning. 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.

    Russ & Daughters has expanded to include a handful of restaurants around the city, but this is the…read moreoriginal fish counter. If you are in the neighborhood, you should pop in and buy something to show your respect. What you should buy is the herring. And specifically, if you happen to be lucky enough to stroll in during Holland Herring season in June/July, that is the herring to get. Even if you just had a giant meat based meal a couple doors down, you can still make room for one herring. Consider it the Jewish equivalent of surf and turf. Although one of my friends said visiting both LES icons was more akin to a "bang bang". Sometimes it's the small shops that make the biggest mark. This is certainly the case with R&D. The place is tiny, but the fish is mighty. I can't speak highly enough about the Holland Herring. So silky. So delicate. So much fun to eat. Held up by the tail, dragged through a mix of chopped onions and pickles, and lowered down into your awaiting mouth. These things are large. They are going to take a few good sized bites. Enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors. Tilting your head back to eat it almost demands that you close your eyes and savor every moment. Yes, the entire herring case is a marvel. While most folks will walk out of R&D with nova (what most people call lox, but is really cold smoked salmon), the real score is the sable and sturgeon. Or, if you are a salt lover, you can get legitimate belly lox here too. It satisfies the soul to see an appetizing store holding the line. Sure, you can put your smoked fish on a bagel or bialy with cream cheese. However, I submit that fish this good should really be enjoyed in its purest form. Maybe if you want to cut the salt, lay some on a thin piece of old world 100% rye bread. Not the squishy deli stuff, but the hard eastern European kind. Perhaps a dolop of sour cream. A few chives if feeling fancy. My old cantor used to love creamed herring with pickled onions on chunks of challah. If you go the herring route and it's not Holland Herring season, I fully endorse this approach. But don't sleep on the Holland Herring. Get one. Eat it on the bench outside or bring it across the street and eat it standing up in the park. I heard rumor that once upon a time folks would eat them right at the counter. That seems a little messy for my taste, but far be it from me to keep a herring lover from their delightful fishy morsels.

    They clearly prioritize hygiene here. The interior is so spotless that it is pitiful!…read more On 6/20/26, I purchased food that I cannot get anywhere else: smoked trout mousse (relatively low in sodium), authentic pumpernickel bread (recommended for its comparatively low glycemic index), and in-house smoked Gaspe smoked salmon (relatively low in sodium). Everything tasted phenomenally good. Miguel had given me samples of some food so I could make a decision about what to purchase. This place is not the cheapest, but you're paying for top quality. You can't go wrong here. My customer experience was exceptional.

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.
