Gramercy Bagels

Unfortunately not a great option for the area… Pretty basic place, the inside is nice and they have a couple tables for sitting. They have a pretty wide selection of bagels, no flat bagels though…
Got a blueberry bagel toasted with cream cheese, it was hardly toasted and one side had a huge glob of cream cheese and the other side had none. The bagel itself wasn’t bad.
$ 8 card minimum…

Visited this place in the late afternoon. We went because the place seemed to have a modern and polished feel. Still, it was empty (and yet they are open to 10pm apparently). Still, the two guys at the counter were unfriendly. They mumbled and didn’t seem interested in taking our order. We ordered a coffee and grabbed a black-​and-​white cookie. They said $ 4 without really working the cash register. Fine.
Then, when we asked to use their restroom, they said it was out of order (as did the sign). I walked in; successfully flushed the toilet and said, «well, it works now.»
Don’t waste your money at a place that doesn’t try at all. Plenty of other bagel places around.

great bagels, good spot for a quick and delish breakfast sandwich!

Bagel is pretty good but the counter is chaotic. The Asian lady at cashier has no business running the front cashier. There was only me and one guy in front of me on line and she managed to make his easy transaction excruciating. I just want to pay for ONE bagel and be on my way, lady. After she was done with his transaction, she completely turned around ignoring me with money in hand. I had to ask if I can pay for my bagel only to have her ignore me for her to bumble around behind the counter harassing the staff about a phone order (but yet not being helpful at all-​the worst kind of management). I can’t imagine the chaos when there is a full line. Get someone else quick on their feet. New Yorkers want to get their breakfast fast and be out.

Terrible service. Mediocre bagels. Way overpriced.
Really to sum it up, this place cuts corners every chance they get.

I’ve been here a couple times and have been underwhelmed every time. The bagels are chewy and stale. Today I got a buffalo chicken wrap and the chicken was like wet cat food. Hopefully will never come here again. PS you know it’s bad when the place has a B rating.

Ordered at 11am on a Sunday morning. It’s almost 1pm and the order still has not been delivered. I’ve called 3 times-​each time I was told my delivery would be here in 15mins as it was ready to go. I live 4 blocks from GB. This place is absolute garbage. I will not reorder from here.
TLDR-​go elsewhere for bagels.

Ordered at 10:40 on Sunday morning. It’s 12:39 now and the two bagel sandwiches I ordered still are not here.

I live across the street so unfortunately these guys are the closest bagel option to me. They just are extremely subpar. The coffee sucks, and the bagels consistently disappoint. They put such little cream cheese on that the bagel is essentially inedible, which I realize by the time I get to work. Extremely frustrating. Will be taking my business elsewhere.

Great bagel place around the corner. Still missing Essa Bagel, but glad I have found an alternative.

The bagels here are great and they are super chewy and delicious. However, I got the walnut raisin spread and it was very subpar. There weren’t that many walnuts and the raisins were bloated and not that appetizing. Also there wasn’t that much maple flavor to the cream cheese. The sesame bagel I got with the walnut raisin spread came out to be 3.95. Although I do have to say the amount of spread was insanely generous. I would definitely come back for the amazing bagels, and I would try a different spread. But at 4 bucks, I feel like its kinda pricey. I also have to point out that the interior is beautiful and I would def sit there with a friend and enjoy my bagel. I think overall it’s worth it.

AVOID! Got a bagel with tofu veggie cream cheese today, the bagel came with a few drops of what looked like canola oil on it that melted off almost immediately. I should have saved my money and skipped the spreads entirely. 2 stars only because their bagels have been okay other times. Worst bagel experience to date.

There is an $ 8 credit card minimum

I love bagels and although I’ve already found 2 awesome bagel spots in NY (Bergen in Brooklyn and David’s Bagels by Stuytown) I still feel the need to branch out and try more. We ordered 2 whole wheat everything bagels. One with egg and cheese and the other with light veggie cream cheese and sliced tomato. I definitely enjoyed both bagel sandwiches and would return again if in the area. However they didn’t win a favorite bagel spot for me. Cute little neighborhood shop that seems to have other great menu options too.

Not much to say about this place other than that it’s your typical bagel joint, equip with a plethora of cream cheese flavors and fresh bagels.
I came here one morning for a late breakfast with my roommates and service was a bit slow. Both my roommates got a variation of a bagel with meat, egg and cheese and were extremely happy with their bagels, both under $ 5. Mine, however, with low fat white fish salad, was almost $ 9. So pricey! And it wasn’t the best white fish either. The cantaloupe was great though– very fresh.
This is a good place to grab some bagels or cream cheese for a family breakfast. I wouldn’t go here on a time crunch though because lines can get a bit long and service can be slow. I also think they deliver if you’re interested in that! They have some tables inside to eat your food here as well.

I’ve been here a few times as desperate times call for desperate measures. And by desperate I mean Bowery-​Electric-​until 3:30-AM-day-after-type desperation. (PS. I hadn’t been to Bowery Electric since November, and recently ventured there last Friday. Wow they have pretty neat music).
Yeah so this just so happens to be on my walk home from #brians apt to Murray Thrill so I have found myself stopping here a handful of times. Last time I was there, the two people ahead of me ordered bagels with tomatoes and cream cheese. I guess they forgot to charge them the extra 50 cents for the tomatoes so they actually chased them down to get it. Like okay I get it, but also it was really weird especially since they were the ones who under charged them in the first place.
They also gave me the wrong bagel. I happened to check it so I didn’t leave with it thankfully. They re-​made my bagel but barely toasted it. I honestly wouldn’t really care but it was like a fricken 4 dollar $h!++y bagel which is #dramatic.
Ugh, I really hope I can resist the urge to come back here again but again desperate times, desperate times.

Love my bagel. I had with nova cream cheese and tomato. Nice cup of coffee as well. Loved the chewiness of the bagel. On the heavier side but a great New York bagel. I agree with service that’s why the bad reviews. The ownerr is not a friendly people and neither his wife. Never the less bagel is good. Trust me

Love this place! My favorite bagel spot! They will make anything you want no limitations. Just did renovations very recently and I love the new interior, very cute! The bagels taste amazing, very fresh and delicious. Friendly service and will cater towards what the customers want!

Aside from hostile service and apathy towards customers, they have an $ 8 card minimum which nobody can reach buying bagels alone!
The ambiance and seating is poor and the coffee tastes like herbal medicine — they blamed the sour taste on the ice (???) and refused to look into the matter after multiple people tried to talk over me. They just don’t care. Simple. The only redeeming quality is that food arrives fast and it’s family-​run.

I used to work in the area and went here sometimes, but today I had a training thing for work and remembered them as a good spot to grab a quick breakfast.
I didn’t go crazy or anything. Just grabbed a wheat bagel with cream cheese and a coffee. The bagel as good, they didn’t over cream cheese the thing like some places do. The coffee was actually very good.
The only thing I really didn’t like was the counter layout. It’s more of a controlled chaos. You don’t really get a line, so it looked like people were cutting in front of each other. It seemed kind of odd, especially for a place that looks like it does a lot of early morning business.
