Bagelette

This is my 2^nd favorite bagel spot! This would be my number one if they would add jalapeño cream cheese to their menu. But their garlic & herb cream cheese is absolutely yummy! Love this place and their service is great as well. Only downside is that they have limited seating.

Great NYC bagel joint. Bagels are made fresh everyday and are made to eat that day. None of the wonderbread effect. They are crispy and soft at the same time and taste amazing,
My only regret is that their coffee is not he best. I’m not a big fan of the flavor and it’s a little weak.
The service team is great. These guys do get slammed on Saturday/​Sunday mornings so depending on timing you may have to wait to get your order in.

Best breakfast spot in the neighborhood! The bagels are always fresh and great! I always get the flat everything bagel lox special (can’t go wrong with that ;)

Bagels are to die for! I always already a flaggel. They have whole wheat and everything in between. The lox cream cheese, the tuna fish salad or just plain runs is a great spread. I have ordered the scallion cream cheese before and it was great as well to share. Don’t forget the coffee, they make a great cup.

Now these are bagels. Made in house, hand rolled, and fresh oven baked (3 times a day I’m told).
It doesn’t get much better than these.
I particularly enjoy their house cream cheese and flat whole wheat sesame or everything bagels. Gotta get lucky sometimes to get them as they sell out quickly.
Their bialys are top notch. They aren’t always out so FYI, gotta ask for them.
I’d recommend the homemade muffins too.
Very nice owner and staff.
I go out of my way to come here but it is worth the trip.

I’ve been enjoying the fabulous bagels and spreads at Bagelette for many years now. Despite the change in ownership, I find the bagels to be scrumptious, and a very varied assortment, from egg to raisin to everything, and much more. They also have mini bagels and simply delicious twists. The herb cream cheese is fantastic, as I’m sure the other spreads are too. I find the service very good and quick as well. Yes, it’s expensive, but well worth it for quality food.

Great food the bagels are excellent and a great variety of cream cheeses. I especially love the lox spread and olive and pimento cream cheese! My favorite bagel store!

I’m usually a seamless girl and rarely wander the neighborhood for grub unless I happen to pass it on the way home from the train.
Was coming home today from shopping and was in the mood for a bagel.
Walked in, placed my order. Egg salad on a bagel with lettuce and tomato.
Egg salad wasn’t my first choice, but it’ll do.
Bagel size… Ummm, isn’t this NY? Why was it the size of a frozen bagged bagel? Why does it taste like it’s from 2 days ago? I’m not expecting straight from the oven freshness, but can it not be stale? Please?
Lettuce and tomato. He runs into the back to get some. I hear the water run for 3 seconds. I hope that’s not him washing the lettuce and tomato. For only 3 seconds.
It’ll do, if you must absolutely have a bagel… And cannot wait.

Fresh, flavorful bagels. Good size, great cream cheese. A cinnamon raisin bagel with CC and iced coffee? $ 3.98. You can’t beat that with a stick. 3 tables for seating and a bar that faces the street with stools. Killer AC. Friendly, warm customer service. On one of my visits I had my tiny Chihuahua, the management brought me my order to the door. I’m a fan, you may be too :)

Establishment used to be worth a visit. As per new ownership, it has lost much insofar as ’”good” service, taste, business sense.
new gentlemen commanding ownership possesses the etiquette of a gypsy pig farmer.
his visually unkept daughter/​employee looks like she rolled out of bed and came straight to «work». She is unaware of what the customer needs.
Rent… probably high at this location, time will surly account for new management.

Good nyc bagel

I have lived in Rego Park for many years but I’ve only stopped by Bagelette a few times. I’ve heard rumors about their prejudice staff before but today I got to experience it first hand. As an African American woman I have been subjected to witty actions plenty of times before. however today was unlike any other. I stood in front of the cash register and asked to place my order but the staff ignored me. A few seconds later a Jewish man stepped in and they immediately asked him what he would like. I told them that I still hadn’t placed my order. The woman that is always there (white apron/​brunette hair/​hat) just stared at me before focusing her attention on the other man. I was appalled. She refused to take my order and I peacefully walked out. No one should ever have to experience that… When I got home I told my grandmother about what had taken place. She’s definitely the person who won’t take anything from anyone. She walked out to the store and asked for their supervisor and they refused to give her an answer… what does that say about Bagelette? Well I’ll leave you to determine.

Came here after reading all the positive reviews. Their bagels was just ok. Not sure what the big deal is about. Staff was very nice though.

Great Bagels, but even more awesome customer service.
I had to order a breakfast for 12 last minute and Howard took care of me and had the catering order put together right away.
they are also very generous with the portions and bagels tasted great !
i’m so glad i found something else so I can quit ordering from Panera bread which always messed up my order and has terrible customer service.

Sure their bagels are good if you don’t mind drawing an engineering diagram to place your order, while girded for armageddon to fend off the creep in white shoes that hangs out by the window on Saturday morning and hits on girls passing by. (Note, gentlement: you should find a line better than «bebeee is dat an iphone» if you’re trying to pick up girls-​in a bagel store– on a Saturday morning)
After you’ve paid for your bagel with vegetable tofu-​spread (yes its a delicious alternative on the lactose free scene), make sure that its actually what you ordered, and not something totally from left field like, oh, say tuna. (One time I didn’t check and I got to work and let’s just say it was disgusting.) Also make sure that the coffee is sealed tightly. Other times, my order was correct, but it was baptised in coffee before I had a chance to eat it.
Bagelette, under the days of old owners Sam & Isaac was AWESOME. Its now changed hands twice since 2006. They still serve a beautiful selection of spreads, salads & appetizing. Their pastries are decent, but not made on premises. The bagels, while a varied selection, are far from the doughy treats they once were.
When Organic Market is closed, Bagelette is a mere consolation prize for breakfast on the run.

Bagelette has the best bagels ever. They also have a great selection of spreads. Staff is friendly, service is great. Prices are reasonable. Howard, the owner is very accommodating and funny. I go here just about every day. No other place in the area compares to this.

Baguelette has, by far, the best bagels in the Rego Park area.
I won’t say Forest Hills/​Kew Gardens as well, simply because there are far too many little bagel shops for me to try them all out, but certainly, it’s the best in the area. Far better than Hot Bialys or Gotta Get a Bagel.
Their bagels are nice and crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside — just perfect. Their everything bagels are delicious and they have an excellent assortment of cheese spreads.
Their scallion cream cheese is second to none and they make a heavenly cinnamon/​raisin/​walnut cream cheese spread that’ll make you wanna slap your momma!
Their cookies and assorted pastry fare are buttery, flaky and rich, but it’s the bagels and bialys that are the hot ticket.
They open at 5:30 AM if you’re the early bird type, but definitely do go before 7 AM, as the bagels are fresher and there’s little to no line. You might even get a little table. :-)

Bagels are one of the foods New York is famous for and the ones from here are worth to be dubbed best in Queens. The size of the bagels range from day to day but they are consistently good. My favorites are the everything bagel and the cinnamon raisin. Try to avoid peak times 7:30−9am and weekends 8 – 10:30am.
