I go to the Nolita location, and the staff here is unmatched. The bagels are always so delicious, even during peak hours, my food is ready within a reasonable time, and everyone is so friendly. This is the best bagel spot, hands down.

The best gluten free bagel I've ever had! Tastes like a real bagel. I got the one with cream cheese and lox and ate it in the park. Heaven!

I was in New York during the time that the limited edition Baogel was out, and as an appreciator of barbecue pork buns I thought it would be nice to give it a try. The place is relatively small, with a small amount of seating and a sort of a wooden interior. I also recall there being a pitcher of water, alongside some additional stuff like coffee creamer and other items similar to that. I recalled the wifi being spotty at the time, but we were able to get one of the last couple of Baogels at the shop which was pretty cool. For the Baogel itself, I recalled it being more bread than meat, which was much different than what I was expecting. It wasn't terrible, but I would probably stick to a typical barbeque pork bun. Overall it wasn't a terrible experience, but not one that was particuarly memorable. I suppose I may have had my expectations too high.

Salt bagel, cream cheese, and tomato is my favorite . love love love black seed. everyone is always so kind.

So so good, the staff was super friendly but the wait for the bagel was around 15 minutes on a Thursday morning We just waited in line outside , no problem. The everything bagel combined with the juicy tomato and filling avocado made for the perfect breakfast bite. Dijon mustard was a nice touch too

Black Seed Bagels, we finally meet. I've lived in New York my entire life, My Ancestry DNA has me pegged as 2% Flatbush Avenue. I understand these are Montreal Style Bagels, as a New Yorker I welcome regional foods into my city. Detroit Style pizza has been welcomed and accepted by all. I walk into the store early Saturday morning with no line. I ask for one of their special B.E.Cs on a bagel. I buy a chocolate chocolate chip cookie and two coffees. It was a little pricey but the hype has me reaching into my wallet. The eggs and bacon are cooked to perfection. This is a nice handheld, I would go far to say elegant in its presentation. The bagel itself is what's throwing me. It's a bagel that you wouldn't expect to purchase in NYC. The toothiness is missing. When you bite into a NYC bagel, the outside shell should have a grab, almost like a crunch. This was like biting into bread and is there malt or salt in these bagels? I ordered an everything bagel and it didn't satisfy my bagel craving. Black Seed Bagels, you're in my New York City. If there are homesick Canucks visiting, now they have a place where they can eat a hometown bagel. New Yorkers should not wait on line for these bagels, there are too many good Bagel spots to choose from in the Big Apple. Good, not great. Signed, Bill S

You come here for an artisanal bagel - the specials run roughly $15 a pop. The staff were gracious and quick. We ordered the salmon classic on an everything bagel and it was delicious! We were asked if we wanted it toasted and we said yes. I appreciated how they didn't burn the garlic on the bagel - very common at bagel joints. Everything was fresh and the smoked salmon tasted quality. There's pre-packaged day-old bagels (about 6) for $5 that our family took home, refrigerated and ate for the next 3 days. Toasted, it was pretty good. The inside is simple, about 5 tabletops, no bathroom. I appreciate that there's free water and recycling for the plastic water cups. Definitely a hipster vibe from hipster Brooklyn for tasty hipster bagels. If you're looking for a classic NYC bagel, Russ and Daughters is around the corner.
