We had a great experience at Best Bagel & Coffee. The location is excellent, and the service was impressively quick considering how packed the place was.<br><br>We tried one bagel with salmon and one with eggs, and both were delicious, fresh, and very satisfying.<br><br>A great spot for breakfast or a quick meal, especially if you want a tasty bagel without spending too much time waiting. Highly recommended!

🥯✨ Okayyyy so the EVERYTHING bagel was really giving… EVERYTHINGGGGG 😍👏🏾 The bagel? Soft. Fresh. Perfect amount of seasoning. The eggs and cheese? Chef’s kissssss 😮‍💨🧀🍳 That sandwich definitely carried the experience 😂🙌🏾<br><br>Nowwwww… the other stuff? 😩 I’m not even gonna hold you 😭 it was giving cafeteria food vibes 🥴🍽️ Like it wasn’t horribleeee, but it just didn’t hit the way I expected it to. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing because this bagel sandwich clearly understood the assignment 💯✨<br><br>Would I come back for the everything bagel? ABSOLUTELY 😍🥯<br>Would I explore the menu a little differently next time? Also yes 😂🤷🏾‍♀️<br><br>#EverythingBagelEnergy 🥯✨ #BreakfastDoneRight 🍳 #HitOrMiss 😂 #MaybeIGotTheWrongThing 🤦🏾‍♀️💕

When I tell you this is the best bagel I have ever had I mean that, I visited New York about 7months ago and when I tell you I think about this bagel2-3 times a day I mean that. I didn’t know the name of this place and just spent 20min looking for it in my Google Maps to just look at it and be reminded of the experience I had there. We had to sit outside because there were no tables but that meant NOTHING to me because the second I took a bite of this bagel every worry I had melted away. I’m not being dramatic it was so so good. I am planning on coming back to New York and I’m booking my hotel in relation to this place IM NOT JOKING when I say this is better and significantly cheaper then other more “mainstream” places especially for the amount of food you’re getting. I am a 18-year-old girl who truthfully could care less about Google reviews. I understand how much they can help with business and that is why I am leaving this review because I would rather die then book another trip to New York and this bagel place not be there. Trust me I will go into millions of dollars of debt and buy this place myself before I let it close down. Don’t miss this place guys go and get this bagel. There’s millions of options to choose from the people that work. There are so nice and the food is so good. Thank you for your time. That is all.

I think the pictures speak by themselves. This place is the best in town. Bagels are AMAZING and filling. I wish I lived in NYC just to come back here everyday and enjoy gaining 10kgs in a month. Believe me, you must try it.<br>The queque might be long but it's because this place deserves it.

This Bagel spot in New York is definite good spot for a quick bite. The place is busy so be patience to wait. I tried the Reuben pastrami and it was ok, but the chicken Parmesan was very delicious and definitely the highlight for me. Overall, a good place to stop by if you’re in the area and craving a bagel or sandwich.

Do they love up to their name?! I'd say so! I ordered a Taylor ham, egg, cheese with tots & salt/pepper/ketchup on a tasted whole wheat everything bagel and did it hit the spot!! WOW best bagel sandwich I've had in a long time.<br><br>I went super early on a Saturday morning and there were just a few people waiting for their food, no line yet at 7:15am but I can imagine it picks up later on on the weekends and even more so during the day. A friend who was visiting said it was packed with teens/young adults close to 9am on a Friday. Anyway, I ordered pickup from Grubhub just in case! It was ready on time and everything.<br><br>I also had an almond milk cappuccino sweetened with honey and it was also delicious - so smooth.<br><br>Ambience seemed pretty laid back with a few tables.Do they love up to their name?!

A friend told me I had to try this place while visiting NY, and it definitely lived up to the name of the spot (I even tried a few other bagels nearby to compare). Plenty of bagel option, including gluten-free, plus a wide variety of cream cheese flavors, sandwiches, and loaded bagels. I ordered The Jack Special on a jalapeño cheddar bagel, and it was flavorful and filling. Service was quick, even with a long line… just be ready with your order when you get to the counter. Limited seating inside and outside.<br>Solid NYC bagel spot and will definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.

Amazing, fresh bagels. I had one every morning during my trip, I loved the scallion and bacon cream cheese on everything bagel. I brought three back on the plane home to Toronto and they held up extremely well!<br>People who work here are very nice!

I crave these bagels everyday. This is a must try if you are visiting, I could eat here every morning. I got a BEC with honey sriracha bacon cream cheese, was off the hook! The lox bagel was really good too. They were really busy, but don’t let that deter you, it moves fairly quick. Highly recommend! I can’t wait to go back!

I hate bagels but wanted to try a good NY bagel. Sunday at 10am had a line that moved quick. Ordered in a few minutes- I didn’t have time to review the entire menu. Then waited about 5-7mins and my number was called.<br>Wife enjoyed her Everything w/Cream Cheese. I ate half a toasted Plain Sausage, Egg n Cheese and had a bite outta a plain cream cheese. Not for me. But service and quality was good and everyone else was enjoying it.

Everyone says it, but it needs to be said again anyways. The bagel sandwiches are huge. I say this as a large man. Share! They are loaded with delicious goodness and overflowing with cream cheese. There isn’t a lot of space inside so on a weekend I wouldn’t expect a table because there’s only maybe 8 of them. Food was piping hot and fresh, and DELICIOUS! This is THE bagel spot I’d recommend to anyone visiting Manhattan. It’s not too far from everything but somehow just far enough away for some quiet.

When you come to New York, this is a great place for bagels! The ordering process is as smooth as the numerous amounts of differently style cream cheese they offer.<br><br>Our only issue we encountered was mainly with the online ordering system. It did not allow for us to make any modifications to our orders prior to purchasing. Upon arrival, we ordered food to eat in house while we were picking our online orders up. We asked about modifications seeing as how the system did not allow for it. They said they couldn’t change the bagel choices once they were bagged. Furthermore, we asked that our bagels not be sliced in half. The entire dozen were sliced in half.<br><br>This was our first impression of Best Bagels and while the system may not be perfect, it’s definitely somewhere we’d come back to. And you should too!

We came here on a Monday around 11 AM and the place was absolutely bustling with so many people! We ordered a couple bagels and a coffee and were able to find a table and enjoyed everything about this place. The bagels were so delicious and the coffee was really good too. I will definitely come back the next time I’m in NYC!

Was planning to go to Liberty Bagels but went here instead because the line was too long. There was a line, but we ordered and got our food in about ten minutes. This was THE BEST bagel I’ve ever had. I got a BEC with the honey siracha cream cheese and my brother got the Hungry Stack. Both were SO GOOD, the bagel was hot and fresh and everything tasted delicious. I’m so glad we went here instead 10/10 would recommend!!

Best Bagel is one of most famous store among Koreans. However, when I enter the store, crowded with people from all over the world 🇺🇸 The female staff who got my order was kind but looks exhausted bout work 🥲 I do understand her right away cause customers never stopped after me. Every staffs were friendly in general. My order was Everything bagel+smoked salmon+plain creme cheese which one is the Best 🥯 Highly recommended it!
