Liberty Bagels Midtown

Don’t be put off by how chaotic it looks from the outside, once you’re in, there’s a peculiar organization and line goes fast.<br>Bagels were amazing, the best I’ve had, but be aware they’re very big and super filling!<br>There are several options of vegan cream cheese which are very nice.

Liberty Bagels actually has a solid variety of bagels and spreads. I haven’t seen avocado+herb, olive+pimento spreads anywhere else, and they were great flavours. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Great bagels and very generous portions—they’ll definitely keep you full for a while. The wasabi cream pairing is excellent. Highly recommend giving that one a try!

This was such a great bagel spot! The bagel I got was the perfect balance of crispy and soft! Not much for seating inside but they have tables outside where you can stand which is rare for New York! Overall had a great experience and truly they have so many options! 10/10 recommend

Definitely worth a visit! The bagels were so fresh, nothing like anything i’ve had in Florida. I got a bacon egg and cheese with scallion cream cheese on a sesame bagel, and of course I had to get the rainbow bagel! Both were amazing. Busy, but service was really quick! Highly recommend, I miss this place.

Loved the bagels that we had here. They put a lot of cream cheese as compared to other bagel shops, which is a delight. I ordered everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. Was initially planning to order rainbow bagel but I was told by the staff that it was sweet so decided against it. I appreciate them telling me that. Seating is non existent. You can stand and eat inside the shop. We visited around 11 am on a weekday so found it to be not crowded at all.<br>Highly recommend.

Fresh, chewy bagel with a perfectly crisp exterior and a generous smear of cream cheese. Simple, satisfying, and exactly what you want from a classic New York bagel stop. Liberty Bagel delivers a comforting bite that’s great any time of day.

This place makes incredible bagel sandwiches. They make all.of their flavored cream cheeses in-houes. I only gave it 4 stars because my second trip my sandwich was not as well made as my first visit. Rest assured if im in the city again I will make a trip back to the shop.

Colorful and fun experience. Expect to wait in line about 15-20 mins tops but very worth it. Once you get inside be ready with your order, would recommend to research before going lots of bagels and schmear to choose from. I am a somewhat purist so plain bagel and cream cheese for me but make it colorful please. Can't rate service higher since it's basically : what's your order, here's your bagel and get out from all the noise and standing shoulder to shoulder to the 30 people that are inside quite a small amount of space. Overall would recommend.

If you know me well, you’re probably aware that I don’t consider myself a Foodie Expert by any means. However, let me tell you, my experience at the Liberty Bagel shop in the vibrant heart of New York City was truly unforgettable and absolutely worth sharing! This little gem of a place, tucked away amidst the bustling streets, serves up what I can confidently declare to be the very best bagels I have ever tasted in my life. Among the delightful options available, I decided to indulge in the Bella Nova, an incredible creation that absolutely blew my taste buds away, all nestled within a perfectly baked salt bagel that added the ideal hint of savory goodness. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavor that left me craving more!

Not a tourist. Stopped by Liberty Bagels recently for a quick bite. The steakwich is still ok—good flavor a little less meat than in the past, but if you are hungry its good. Unfortunately, the salmon sandwich was a letdown. The portion was surprisingly small, the salmon barely visible, and the flavor just didn’t hit.<br><br>At $16 and a 20 minute wait, it’s hard to justify when NYC has so many better options for food. Liberty Bagels has its moments, but based on this visit, it feels a bit overrated. Worth a try once, but I wouldn’t go out of my way next time.

Unbelievable bagels and great service!<br><br>I stopped by Liberty Bagels Midtown during a mother–daughter weekend in NYC, and it did not disappoint! It’s an easy walk from 5th Avenue, and even though the line forms outside, it moves quickly thanks to the nice gentleman managing the flow of traffic.<br><br>Orders are handled super efficiently—pickups are brought right to the door for fast access. Inside there’s a small standing bar, and outside you’ll find a few tables on the patio if you want to enjoy your food there.<br><br>The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the food was incredible. I had a blueberry bagel with egg, sausage, and cheese—honestly one of the best bagels I’ve ever had. And don’t skip the hash browns—they’re worth it!<br><br>Highly recommend this spot for anyone craving a true New York bagel experience.

Go for the Rainbow bagel. You know you want to. We did and enjoyed it along with some other bagel options. Bonus: you can also get a red white and blue Liberty bagel. Plenty of cream cheese choices too. The crowds were wild but manageable. Started outside and they let you in one group at a time. Then you wait inside in a split line to order. Then you wait again in the pickup line once it’s ready. Whole process took about 20 min or so. Limited seating/standing outside. Share if you need to or take to go. Must try spot if in the area.

Even at 8:30 am on a Sunday in October, this place was packed. Service was fast and friendly. I ordered a blueberry bagel with maple bacon cream cheese and bacon - and it was divine! The cream cheese is THICK & rich. The combination of salty and sweet was perfection a the bagel was fluffy and delicious. The decor is iconic and I highly recommend Liberty Bagels!

We had heard this place was ultra-popular because of their bagels, so we tried it for breakfast on a Friday morning. When we walked up, the place was packed (I mean packed!) and people were eating outside on the sidewalk where some tables have been placed and there's even a covered patio to use! Good sign, right? So we ordered our bagels and breakfast sandwiches and took them back to our hotel. They had a Halloween bagel so I thought I'd be festive and they that with pumpkin cream cheese. The flavor of the cream cheese was fine but not outstanding and the bagel itself was much chewier than I expected 🤔. The feedback from the group was the same thing about their bagels. They have a ton of good-looking cream cheese options and fun themed sandwiches so I would definitely order something here again but I wonder if the popularity is more based on history or the food? You'll have to decide for yourself.
