I dropped by this morning for a quick bite and was seriously impressed by the quality of the food here. I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and it was one of the freshest bagels I’ve had in a while - perfectly chewy on the inside with a great, seasoned crust. The scallion cream cheese was really flavorful and spread very generously, which I appreciated.<br><br>Beyond the excellent taste, it was fantastic value for money. You get a high-quality, filling breakfast that feels worth every penny. The service was efficient and the staff were friendly, making the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu soon. If you are looking for a reliable, delicious morning spot, this is it. Highly recommended for any bagel lover!
Really cute bagel shop. The bagels were good, though not my favorite in the city. They could be softer/chewier. The jalapeño cream cheese was killer, absolutely loved it. I do wish they had more options for spreads, but I was happy with what I got.
Overall: 4.5/5 [delivery]<br><br>My husband ordered the New York Style Pastrami Sandwich on a toasted everything egg bagel with sauteed onions and avocado for delivery to his workplace. He got it at lunch but didn't eat it until dinner and it was still so good after just a quick pop in the microwave. It's a thick, loaded sandwich that's perfect for sharing with so much pastrami packed in. Honestly one of the best pastrami sandwiches we've had.
The pastrami salmon was incredible. I was genuinely surprised by how good it was. There was no line when I walked in, and I had my order in under five minutes. It was packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend, honestly, it’s the best bagel I’ve had in New York so far!
We really wanted to like Murray's Bagels. The names of the sandwiches were fun and the menu looked good. However, we didn't have a good experience.<br><br>The food was so so at best. Now that could be because our sandwiches sat for at least 10 minutes waiting for the staff to heat up our knish. The knish was squashed, the eggs were cold, and the one roasted bagels tasted chewy. Overall, it took more than 20 minutes to get out food and it went that busy.<br><br>While we might try again someday, there are better options nearby including Bagel Pub and Tompkins Sq Bagels.
Randomly walked by the shop so decided to went in. It didn’t disappoint at all. It should go viral for their delicious bagels. Best spontaneous decision ever
Great food! Haven't tried drinks yet but there's a nice variety. The plain bagel and cinnamon raisin bagels a great. I've tried the ones with eggs and without. However the line is always very long. I always order pickup ahead of yet. Even so, I still have to wait up to 10 or more minutes for things to be ready. Its a very busy place, so it might not be great if you want something quick.
A little on the pricier side for a usual order of mine, everything with vegetable cream cheese and a large coffee came out to $11.15. Beside not being much of a value grab they get the 5 star nod because the quality is there. Super fresh bagel, nice crunch on the outside soft and chewy on the inside. Generous cream cheese spread which is delicious. Coffee about average but it’s a bagel shop so that’s expected. If you’re looking for something at least twice as good as your average deli, this is a good spot.
Beat bagel of my life! It’s a must<br>If you are visiting NY.<br><br>I always mentioned this place to anyone who is planning to NY and anytime we are talking about bagels.<br><br>Please read this comment and give a like if you will go on your next trip!
Nice little bagel deli. We got an egg and cheese on garlic and a whole wheat. For a $3 bagel it's missing anything special. If it was not as expensive or had something special i could recommend this place, but if you are just passing by its not a bad place to grab a bite.
When in New York, you’ve got to have bagels, right? I’d pinned this place ages ago, so I took the chance to walk over. It’s called Murray’s Bagels, and they have a huge menu to choose from. I picked one at random, and it was still delicious. I love the chewy, soft texture of their bagels.
Murray’s Bagels is a particularly popular ‘hotspot’ for many local residents in and around this part of Chelsea on the Westside of Manhattan. Notably very well situated inside a deli styled turn-of-the-century store front and interior with a painted antique white tin ceiling. An original architectural element retained in the layout of its interior design. The comfort level was not overwhelming and though there were side tables featured for pairing two people per se, at one, there were only six available places to choose from. Most were occupied singly while there. Spaces were limited due to seating used for customers waiting on orders to go during their busiest rush times. But on a Sunday like today, the atmosphere turnover is quite ginger. A relaxed mood and sensibility aside the clamorous momentum behind the counter filling the orders as quickly as assembled. Now, to be perfectly honest, The Traditional classic smoked lox, with cream cheese on a bagel with everything on it, on an Everything Bagel— was pretty decent. What was tough to get past was the toughness of the bagel itself. Like chomping European hard-bread made in America. In all fairness having tasted many many bagels this was tougher, chewy, and really harder to bite through. Seriously my preference would be its competitor further up the street closer to W. 23rd. Though, that was its only drawback! Nothing else. The lox, absolutely fresh. Tomatoes, capers, red onions, and cream cheese, perfect! Nothing more than satisfying! But the bagel was the only downfall. I’m not opposed to the whole place for it’s popularity but, as finicky as a kid can get to be, it’s hard not to decide on finding another place that doesn’t have that hardness tacked to the taste, and especially bagels. They can be extra soft, and really fluffy and tasty too. So, otherwise, a truly beautiful place no matter what the opinion is, (it is indeed very Scandinavian) totally in the ambiance and aesthetic culinary tradition. But “Don’t mind me” … it’s just a matter of preferences like anything else here in The Big Apple!
We were only in New York for 4 days but went here 3 times for food and coffee. Delicious bagels, lovely staff and customers. The loaves looked gorgeous. Fabulous little bakery! We loved it.
First time getting Murray's catering, just as good (or even better!) than our single orders. Got the break-the-fast "Traditional" platter for 10 including lox, whitefish, sable, bagels (natch), capers, onions, sliced tomato, 3 kinds of cream cheese (scallion, nova, plain). Everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, beautifully packed, delivered with care. AND enough food for 20 so excellent value! We LOVE you Murrays - please keep up the real NY appetizing traditions!
