Nova lox with everything
Joseph G.

At AJ's Bagels the bagels are made differently. In an extremely competitive field, AJ's stands out as the family/staff makes superior quality bagels at a reasonable price. There's nothing special about the bagel shop itself, but the product they produce is outstanding. The bagels are delicious alone, but the nova lox and cream cheese with lettuce, tomato, onions, and capers was to die for. Thank you AJ!

10/10 breakfast sandwich! It was toasted, super soft and tasted fresh baked! Also they have a cream cheese strawberry danish that is 10/10!

Ordered a blueberry bagel toasted with cream cheese. It was $4.20. How? The menu said it should be $3.25. Was tax $0.95?!

Delicious sandwiches and bagels, so glad to see them in the neighborhood and not another chain on this corner.

I typically come in here only when I'm the area. The establishment is always clean and opens early…read moream 5am which is a such a plus if you work extremely early in the morning. As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

Delicious fresh bagels and sandwiches. Love the different…read moreoptions of cream cheese flavors it give your bagel the extra kick. What's a Good Morning without a Good breakfast.

We wanted to try something different after having explored so many of the typical places in Manhattan and Shelsky's came highly recommended While I was expecting a long wait on a Saturday mid-morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find the establishment with only a few in line before us. Now, I was desperately seeking a very simple belly lox with schmear, but much to my dismay, they didn't have any more belly lox. I was heartbroken and had to figure out a plan B While I pondered, the family quickly ordered a Peter Shelsky, a Great Gatsby, and a Fancy Pants. I crumbled in my panic and jumped in with another Peter Shelsky. We also tried a small amount of whitefish salad and a beet/thyme salad The service was quick and we were able to grab two of the three small tables at the front to enjoy our fare. Soon we were digging in and from the immediate silence, I could tell everyone was enjoying their choices. The bagels were on the smaller side, denser with a firm crust. We did enjoy the bagels, but I could see how someone not familiar with this style may find them too "cardboard-y" I have to say, the pickled herring on the Peter Shelsky was fantastic, but was way too overpowering for the nova and sable. I actually regretted my choice and would order something more sunken next time. (Or get to the store earlier to beat the rush for the darn belly lox!) The beet salad was quite a nice balance to for the bagels adding a bit of brightness. The whitefish salad was solid - a hint of smoke and a creamy puree. Some who prefer a chunkier whitefish salad might find this less than satisfactory, but the flavors were great A cure store, friendly and patient staff, a great first exposure to Brooklyn for the boys. We'll be back (and we want belly lox!!)
