Bagels Etc.

Sadly, the worst. I’ve been a loyal customer for years and their bagels and service are mediocre at best. Today however he burnt not one but 2 rounds of bagels of mine and then actually yelled at me when I said I wanted one without char. I was there 15 minutes waiting as it was busy– seemed like most he could do was fix my order… and not yell at me. Burnt bagel– no biggie. Ongoing unprofessionalism, now yelling at me — no thank you.

I went to this place the other day as I didn’t want to walk down to 71^st to gotta getta bagel. Overall the bagel was average, but what turned me off was that my wife’s sandwich had the wrong cream cheese and my bagel had very little lox. For the same price I would have gotten a much better deal at Gotta Getta Bagel. I am right around the corner from this place so I will give it a second try and update my review.

I stopped by because I saw FoodBaby’s Instagram of the amazing bacon, egg, and cheese that I had to have it. My mom and I stopped by this afternoon and it was pretty empty. The woman behind the counter was very nice and patient. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel, yum! My mom had the sesame bagel with light cream cheese. She was very accommodating to what my mom wanted. Beware it is only cash! I also saw them make their bagels for tomorrow morning, so they make their own bagels fresh.

They have good bagels, but they keep getting my order wrong. It happens more than is convenient, so I am reluctant to go back.

I popped in here one afternoon as I was craving a bagel w/​cream cheese. Having never been here I wanted to give it a try. They did not have regular sesame bagels at the time (she gave me a flat at the same price instead). She started to toast my bagel even though I said untoasted and gave me butter instead of cream cheese. Despite all that, it was still a damn good bagel and that woman, omg that woman! Whew, what a goddess! I’ll be back.

This place is a perfect example of how an otherwise excellent store is ruined by poor customer service.
I had come in the other day looking for a fix for my bagel addiction. I asked for a toasted bagel with two different cream cheeses, one on each side. The staff behind the counter were so busy chatting they barely paid any attention to my order, so of course they got it wrong. After I pointed this out to them they grudgingly made me another. After I got the second bagel I noticed it was badly sliced with one side being about ¾ of the entire bagel (vindictive, anyone?) The exasperated look on the faces behind the counter didn’t do anything to enhance this experience.
It’s too bad. The bagels here are good, but not so good that I’ll put up with the abuse from the staff!

In the area, there are two places to get bagels-​here and gotta getta bagel on continental ave. Having been to both, both are delicious and yummy and have their positives. I enjoy this bagel place because it is off the beaten path and is generally calmer and there’s also never a line. Located on Ascan Ave and a bit off Austin Street, it is convenient to get to and may be worth the walk if you want a quieter place to go.
There are a lot of different bagels and lots of choices of cream cheeses including tofu cream cheeses. The bagels are flavorful and have a great bite to them. The service is incredibly friendly and quick.
The only drawback is that they don’t make more bagels during the day so when they run out of a certain type of bagel, there aren’t any more. However, I forget which day of the week it is or if its everyday-​but after a certain hour, the bagels are a reduced price.

Best bagel place in Forest Hills east of Yellowstone. Nice breakfast special: $ 3.50 for bagel sandwich and coffee. Really good whole-​wheat everything bagel. Friendly owners and clean, no frills shop.

The tasty bagels get 4 stars. The unfriendly staff and slow service get 2 stars. So 3 stars overall.

There’s a bagel shop across the street, I’ve tried couple times only to feel disappointed since their bagel gets hard like a rock.
Once I tried Bagels Etc’s, I got addicted! Even next day, their bagel is still soft & moist! Try their bagel with «everything», I guarantee your satisfaction.(^-^)

Bagels were okay and they do not produce salt bagels (which are my favorite) and they also do not make traditional breakfast sandwiches (Bacon egg and cheese, etc).

The bagels are hot airy and amazing
the everything bagels best in the city only place that uses caraway seeds
If you get there early on Sunday morning plenty of free parking in front 7 am
Maayan Y. there is a huge sign behind the counter with all prices, so what are you talking about ?
Micheal A same as Supermarket ?? what supermarket is that? we drive over 5 miles to get there .
THIS PLACE HANDS DOWN BEST BAGELS IN QUEENS !!

The price you pay depends on who takes you from the order.
Each day a different price depending worker himself.
It’s quite annoying!
The bagel itself tasty, they have super delicious omelet.
Only cash! I do not like it but that’s the reality.
Street parking is very difficult on Sundays.
Beyond all that great place!

Hands down my favorite bagel place in Queens. They have the best, freshest bagels ever. They make amazing egg sandwiches with turkey bacon. The only bummer is that it is cash only!

I’m not sure if the reviewers above me have ever been to a real bagel store or if they had ever had a really good bagel because these bagels and stores were certainly not either. The bagels tasted store bought and the store itself was small and cramped. The service was OK at best. I will not be going back even if its really close to my apartment. I would rather walk a little further and be satisfied with my breakfast. It wasn’t a one star only because my coffee was pretty good.

My experience at Bagels Etc, was one that when it was time to leave and I took a moment to reflect, I felt pleased with the overall food and the price.
Initially, when I stepped inside of Bagels Etc there was a burnt onion topping aroma in the air, indicating when getting a toasted anything, you may get your order on the well done side. My everything bagel with cream cheese was a little charred, which I can deal with as opposed to under toasted. But, the cream cheese melted so quickly and completely that upon opening the wax paper the contents were dripping. The bagel was proper in size and thankfully not overly doughy, everything topping clung well to the bagels outer surface.
Salads and other spreads were still covered and showed moisture under the cling wrap, so they must have just come from the refrigerator, which is fine. But with three people on staff someone needs to get on that and make the display case look ready to go. Chop Chop!
~Friendly and fast service respectable coffee and with a decent number of customers when I was there in the early morning hours, which is a good sign.

Bagels Etc. makes one of the best bagels in Queens. These bagels are huge and they taste so goooooooooood! My favorite is their everything bagel and bialys. There spreads are good as well but limited selections. The bagels are the reason to come here. I love this place. The owners are really nice as well.

I always get bacon egg and cheese on everything bagel. delish!

My husband and I love this place, definitely the best bagels in Queens and the best we’ve had anywhere! Their bagels are fresh and taste fantastic! They make a large variety and at least one kind is always coming off the oven when you get there! Their spreads are great too. They also have breakfast combos and bagel sandwiches. Bagels Etc. also has a Tuesday special: take home a dozen bagels for $ 6.79. They have a couple of other specials too. They used to have great veggie bacon, but don’t carry it anymore due to low demand — your loss!!! It was so good!!! The couple who run the place are so sweet, always eager to please. Definitely a neighborhood jem!

We’ve gone to many bagel shops in NYC, including some famous ones on the lower east side. This place’s bagels taste less tough and are easier to chew (even compared to bagels baked on the same day at other bagel shops).
We moved here 6 months ago and have fallen in love with their bagels. We can’t get enough of them. They were out of bagels today, and they offered to bake the dozen bagels we wanted fresh. It took 15 minutes. I’ve never had piping hot fresh bagels. Wow, that was an interesting treat.
Here’s a local review we found on the web
