Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company

Great bagels. Lots of variety of different bagel flavors and cream cheese. My favorite combo is the Coconut bagel with Nutella cream cheese. I have to stop here every time I come to NYC. For lunch or dinner the garlic bagel toasted with buffalo chicken salad is my favorite.
Lines are usually long at breakfast time but move very fast. I wish they had more seating, a lot of times I have to take my food back to my hotel and eat there since I can’t find a place to seat.

Terrific bagels (with bacon scallion cream cheese) and the avocado omelette was terrific, with plenty of fresh avocado. The hash browns were a little disappointing-​more like toaster hash browns. Would definitely go back.

Visiting New York for just a little over a week, I obviously only had one mission in mind.
Eat. All. The bagels.
I traversed all around, from Midtown to the Lower East Side to Chelsea to find the best that New York had to offer, and everything ended when I stumbled on Brooklyn Bagel.
The storefront is cute and spacious and they have a huge selection of cream cheese spreads and bagels, so it was pretty much love at first sight.
I opted for a half dozen bagels but my favorites by far were the garlic and everything bagels. Jam packed with flavor, not too dense with a light fluffiness, and just everything you’d expect out of a bagel. Add some bacon scallion cream cheese into the mix (because why wouldn’t you?) and I’m sold.
Overall, Brooklyn bagel stood out among the rest for me (Tompkin’s, Murray’s, etc) and solidified its place in my heart as the best in NYC

Location: 8^th Ave, 23 street. Brooklyn Bagel is there waiting for you. I though, 8 o’clock in the morning, a time people should ‘ve been at there work instead of getting food, should not cause me much time to wait for some good bagel. I was wrong. A long line was there and i had to spent 10 minutes waiting for my precious bagel, with a hungry stomach. They offer lots of cream cheese flavors, and the flavors are too many to try them all at once.
They also have many types of bagels.
And of course, some signature combo are offered only by Brooklyn B&C.
Food: I chose coconut bagel with spinach tofu cream cheese. I would just say that I am too brilliant that the sweet and savory is well balanced. And I want to put special efforts commenting on the spinach tofu cream cheese. I would say this cream cheese is the best recreation of cream cheese ever. Contained the floor of spinach, and tofu made it very smoothy to taste, I found the flavor is attracting and tasteful.
The extra toast and hot bagel made it even better.
Hands down!
Service: Fast but disorganized sometimes.
Price: based on the cream cheese, different bagel choices charge differently. If you are worried about the price, you can pay extra attention on the price tag which is in front of the cream cheese session.
Overall: 4.5 for a cheap delicious breakfast

Went to this place because of the high rating… And was extremely disappointed. Had 2 bagels with cream cheese and salmon with 1 cappuccino… 28 $. Price is impossible to find on the menu…
The bagel was too thick and not cook enough, salmon and cream cheese average at best.

Best bagel ever! Their sweet corn soup and bagel chips are amazing as well!
I came there before I left NY. I ordered the toasted multigrain bagel with tuna salad. The bread tasted a little bit sweet~ The tuna salad was mixed pieces of celery which make it crunchy. So good! The day special is hot chocolate only for 1 dollar. So I ordered a cup and sweet corn soup with bagel chips. OMG the chips matched well with the comfortable soup. Must try!
I would definitely recommend this place for bagel lovers! The staff were all friendly and efficient which made me enjoy their food very well.

Why is your grill always closed when I come to the store? All I want is a bagel with egg and soft gooey cheese :(instead I opted for the garlic bagel with jalapeño Asiago and my other half got the everything bagel with the diavolo cream cheese? It was chipotle flavored if I’m not mistaken. We gobbled our food down anyways. Well, let me know when you guys have the grill ready. My stomach will be waiting :-(

This is my first time at this location, so I’m not sure if lines are usually out the door here, but it felt like everyone on the west side of Manhattan wanted their coffee and bagel this morning. I stopped by on my way out of town and put up with the ½ hour line cause what the hell, it’s New Year’s Day; I won’t get a parking ticket this time, and I can’t live without the oats and raisin bagel in my life once I get a fixin’. The bagel lived up to my memories, so the world is right in 2016. I tried the hazelnut coffee and was pleasantly surprised at how tasty it was. And though my bacon, egg, cheese appeared to use liquid eggs, it was a pretty top notch sandwich with excellently crispy, not salty or cheap tasting bacon. If they’d open up one of these on the east side, I’d be there in a heartbeat.

They have bacon and scallion cream cheese. I’m just going to leave this life-​changing piece of info here and let it marinate in your thoughts.
Remember to ask for your bagel toasted. There just isn’t any other way to have it.

My quest for bagel greatness continues (especially after the abrupt closure of my beloved Beygl near home). This place hits the spot for the ‘bagels near work’ need, but it’s one of the pricier options for my usual order. $ 9.74 for an everything with lox spread and a large iced coffee. They do have better iced coffee than most, but that’s $ 1 more than Best Bagel for the same order and a full $ 3.75 more than the Davidovitch bagels and fill-​your-​own IC at Frame. You know what I could buy for $ 3.75? Another bagel with cc!
It seems like they’re not doing the $ 1 coffee on Tuesdays anymore unless it’s only in the PM. I give them props for their special cream cheese selections (today’s was bacon and buffalo) and very generous servings on cream cheese. The bagels are a little chewier than Best Bagel (the fluffiest I’ve ever found) and not as dense as Davidovitch. Comparison to nearby Murray’s to come. I do give them props for taking cards.

I got the coconut bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese. For some reason I had planned to say scallion cream cheese but when I saw the dude at the counter I randomly blurted out «BACON!» Like Mr. Bean blurts out «BEAN.»… Why? Nobody knows. But I didn’t regret it after tasting it. It was fluffy, rich and the bagel was soft and savory. I just wish that bagels were softer like croissants but that’s just me. Will definitely be back again.

I know a good bagel when I see one and believe me when I say Brooklyn Bagel has THE best bagels in New York. New York has the best bagels in the world so by the transitive property Brooklyn Bagel has the best bagels on planet Earth!
I would happily commute to the West Side on a weekend morning to stand in a line out the door for one of these bagels. And yes, if you go during prime bagel hours (10 – 1) on a weekend morning, the line will be out the door. The good thing is they move pretty fast so you could be in and out within 20 – 30 minutes.
I rarely opt for the non-​whole wheat bagel, but here I just have to do it. A bagel toasted with a specialty cream cheese is the way to go, I stick with the everything with light scallion cream cheese. As with any bagel place, there’s an overload of cream cheese but the bagel is so big that you will consume all that shmear.
I wouldn’t stray away from a classic bagel and cream cheese, the breakfast sandwiches looked comparable to any bagel place but I have not tried one so I can be wrong. The coffee is solid and the prices are comparable to a Tompkins Square or Ess-​A-​Bagel.
A big, fluffy, soft, flavorful bagel is the way to my heart. Brooklyn bagel, you got it.

The best everything bagel in NYC is right here look no further.
After experiencing many of the great bagel places NYC has to offer I place Brookly Bagel & Coffee Company at the top spot. The bagels are always fresh, the line goes quick on weekends, and its fairly priced.
Once you get into this small shop and get on the line you can see the fresh bagels coming out of the oven which is always plus to get a fresh bagel. You will notice they always have an abundance of everything bagels so I suggest getting those. The people who work here are very friendly when they take my order which is you guessed it an everything bagel with a schmear of bacon scallion cream cheese. YUM!
The bagels are always packed with cream cheese too, they do not skimp here at all and as you can see from the pics it looks good but tastes even better. The only problem with this place is seating it gets so packed you may have trouble getting a seat on the weekend.
In short:
— Best bagel spot in NYC
— Delicious bagels!
— fairly priced
— extremely fresh
— long lines on the weekend rush hours but they go fast

Best bagel in Manhattan, hands down. With lines out the door almost every time I go, it seems like the rest of Chelsea (or Manhattan) agree. As a girl who grew up having bagels on every trip to NY, I think Ive had some pretty amazing bagels but nothing has compared to Brooklyn Bagel.
Of course the bagels are all homemade, in the back of the store (you can see them making the batches bagels when you order). A big, heavy bagel that doesn’t fall apart when stuffed with cream cheese, eggs or any of their chicken/​tuna/​egg salads… that is perfection.
There are endless types of schmears… you can choose to go sweet with cinnamon walnut or have salty like jalapeño asiago or my personal favorite, bacon & scallion.
Don’t let the line scare you off, they move fast here — have your order ready as the line moves and you’ll be in & out before you know it. I also wouldn’t plan to come here with a big group unless you’re going to be eating someplace besides at the store because space is extremely limited.

It was total madness inside Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company on Sunday morning. The line stretched out the door and people were practically jumping over each other to grab a table. I think I stood in line for about 30 minutes while my boyfriend was busy seat scouting. These bagels better be worth it, I thought to myself. Sure enough, the bagels here deliver — they are dense, chewy, and have a nice bite to it. I ordered 2 mini everything bagels, toasted, with scallion cream cheese, and lox. The mini bagels are hardly mini; they look no different than the regular bagels, in my opinion. The smoked salmon was honestly the best I ever had, which is no surprise since Brooklyn Bagels is partnered with a local smoked salmon guru. That’s probably not his/​her official title, but you get the gist. As you are waiting, start reciting your order in your head because you will get death stares if your clumsy ordering skillz are holding up the line.
Ordering can be confusing as customers are constantly shouting over you, but I found service to be no-​frills, quick, and efficient. Oh, and I also ordered a hazelnut iced coffee with milk. That shizz was delicious. My only regret is that I went for a small instead of a large. Argh!

So this bagel shop is the benchmark for which I measure all bagels. Once I tried this place several years ago, I knew I had just had the best bagel I’ve tasted, and things would not be the same. Why? Because I live in Los Angeles.
Since that time, I have been on a quest to find a bagel in LA that lived up to the Brooklyn Bagel standard. Needless to say, no bagel even comes close. The individual bagels are huge (larger than a regular sized bagel. You can also get the mini size which is about the size of a regular bagel). The crust has that light crunch and the inside is perfectly dense and chewy. The perfect bagel, in my opinion.
Standing in line for about 20 minutes, I was not bothered at all, knowing that I would be reunited with my favorite bagels ever. I ordered 2 dozen to take back home with me. I even anticipated extra luggage space when packing just to do so.
A baker’s dozen here is actually 12 bagels + 2 free bagels. The cost is $ 15.60. My favorite flavors are the multigrain, whole wheat, and whole lotta grain, but you can’t go wrong no matter.
Don’t expect warm and fuzzy service here. But you’re not coming here for the service, it’s for the best bagels on earth!

Some of the best bagels I’ve ever had. The bagels are fresh, huge and they definitely do not skimp on the cream cheese. So many different options and flavors. I wish I had a fresh bagel place like Brooklyn Bagel in my town.
I don’t know which bagel I liked better, the sweet or the savory one. Both delicious!
Will definitely eat here again next time I am in NYC.

I don’t eat bagels often. If I’m going to indulge in one, it better be worth every last carb and calorie. And my plain bagel with low fat scallion cream cheese absolutely was worth it.
This bagel was everything a New York bagel is supposed to be. Chewy and doughy while dense and light at the same time. The outer shell had a nice crisp that wasn’t too hard to tear through. The cream cheese had a nice scallion flavor.
My husband ordered an everything bagel with low fat veggie. Our entire order was almost $ 10 which seems a little pricy. On the other hand, our bagels kept us full for a good 4 hours.
Worth the indulgence indeed!

After trying Murray’s Bagels nearby, I wanted to take a look into Brooklyn Bagel, to see if it lived up to the reviews. After first entering, you’ll notice that it seems a lot less cramped than Murray’s, even though it’s not necessarily any bigger than Murray’s. This might be because it’s a little less crowded, but there’s still a decent amount of people roving around.
Went with my go-​to everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, toasted, and it was really good. The bagels are a little less dense than at Murray’s, which made for a flimsier chew, but still, not bad. In general, the bagels here aren’t the cheapest, but they are humongous here, so I feel like you still get a good value. Also, the different spreads and smoked/​cured meats looked pretty delicious and well-​kept.
The service was quick, albeit not the friendliest. They kinda focus more on getting through the orders as quickly as possible, which is fine, as long as I’m getting my bagel as fast as you can bring ‘em out. You’ll feel a little rushed, but I guess that’s just what it is.
Note that they do not have Seamless or Grubhub, so if you’re feeling lazy, do Murray’s instead. I’ll be back if I want a place to sit down or if I’m really in a hurry and don’t want to wait in a long line.

Fabulous bagels and a large nyc selection of house made cream cheeses!
Tried the whole wheat everything bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese and it just hit the spot. The veggie cream cheese tastes fresh and non-​processed (and less salty) than the average veggie cream cheese as it had HUGE chunks of veggies in it. Maybe next time I’ll try an herb cream cheese for a tad bit more flavor.
TIP-​the bagels are HUGE and they do offer mini bagels that are actually about the size of a regular bagel!
