    Saturday morning bagel run
    Sung Hee K.

    Wow! Love the bagels!! The cream cheese is home made and delicious. Got the ARC Classic Bagel which was excellent! Their coffee is good too. They have many other sandwich optiona thoughout the say. They also have omelette and other breakfast sandwiches. Service is cheerful and friendly. The sitting area is comfortable and relaxed. They play upbeat music loud enough but not too loud so you can still hold a conversation in a normal tone. 10 out ot 10!

    Staff was an absolute beauty. Bagel was the best I've had. They have complementary coffee with each bagel, will be back

    Wide variety of bagels

    Anytime I see a bagel shop I usually go in and see what it's about. I love a good bagel. I stopped here for breakfast and ordered a toasted egg bagel with bacon egg and cheese. I topped it with red onions! The bagel was very good and made fresh! They have alot of bagels here from what I see. As soon as you walk in they have a display of encased bagels where you go and place your order at. the display says it all. The service was fast and friendly. I enjoyed my bagel and off to work I went. I recommend coming by getting one of there bagels or maybe a dozen!.

    Vast selection of schmears

    First review of the year...ok, so I went back to Ark Bagels on 8th. Bagels are fresh and yes, hand rolled unlike my accusation from 8 months ago. Staff welcoming and friendly. Place is bright and clean. Good background music, not too loud. Ark is in the top 10% class of NYC bagel places. I will come back for my IG @bagelmavennyc review another time

    Got a bagel with salmon, plain cream cheese, tomato, onions, and capers. They called this the Chelsea Special, which I guess is a custom bagel order, which they charged ~$15 for (wasn't really made clear on their menu). The bagel was soft and fresh. They put a lot of cream cheese though, but overall it was delicious and very filling. I don't eat a lot of bagels, so I don't know how this place compares to other bagel shops, but I would return. They have a lot of types of cream cheeses (both sweet and savory) and bagel bread options (seasame, cinnamon, pumpernickel, etc.). People are also friendly and professional and service is quick.

    Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese

    Had the absolute best experience! Staff was super kind and welcoming, and made sure to greet every single person who walked in. The bagels are amazing, and there is enough seating. Would absolutely come back!

    Finally, Ark is open! Right next to Empire cakes. This is a top notch bagel emporium. The ark theme runs throughout the spacious & snazzy shop. Spreads are generous & varied. Three types of tofu cream cheese. Fresh squeezed juices. This is a one stop breakfast shop & it's impressive. Ate: Whole wheat bagel with veg tofu cream cheese $8.66 Complex texture, excellent bagel though a tad pricey but this is Chelsea after all and we love our new bagel oasis.

    Arc 1 on Egg Everything Bagel

    Delicious bagels and incredible fresh cream cheese in Chelsea! Peter, Danny and Cindy made the experience even better! Arc 1 is the way to go. Coffee also very good.

    See all

    These are not real bagels. They don't even look like real bagels. And they definitely don't taste like them.

    Staff was offputting while ordering and forgot my order so had to re-ask me what I wanted. Sandwhich was good which slightly saves review.
