Purchased the TooGoodToGo bag which was a dozen of bagels for $4.99. Got a great variety of flavors such as plain, sesame, garlic, pumpernickel, oatmeal, and egg. Bagels were fresh and I froze them as I cannot finish that many bagels so quickly. Showed them the app and they were friendly and handled me the bag quickly. read more

Bagel Bazaar still doesn't disappoint after the many years I've been eating here. Literally since the 90's. Stopped by recently and went with a classic plain bagel with buttuh and a small coffee. The bagel itself was perfect with a slight crisp and had that chew that makes NY bagels amazing. Still hot from the oven. Decent coffee too! Keep it going guys! read more

I've been coming here for years and nothing beats a toasted butter bagel for a cheap price. What's even more crazy is two eggs on a toasted bagel and butter bagel is the same price. Bagel is made to perfection where it had that burnt on the outside and fluffy in the inside. read more

I usually grab breakfast here because it's close to work, but the bagels and sandwiches are delicious!!! The place can use a little remodeling, but the bagels are always fresh and delicious!!!! read more

Don't go in the afternoon. They were probably running low on cream cheese, he dig deep and I was wondering why it was taking so long to spread it. When I got home and opened it, there was barely any cream cheese. I'm actually pretty pissed because they always gave a ton before. read more

Very nice, friendly service. I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and it came out very quickly. Even though I asked him to go light on the cheese, I still had to remove most of it. Next time I want to try their mini bagels! read more

Gave this place a try after seeing the amount of people ordering. Ordered a bagel with scallion cream cheese and another with butter and grape jelly. The bagels were smaller than usual and a bit too dense for my taste. It was also hard to eat since they were not cut in half. However, the amount of cream cheese they give, wow, it was definitely enough for two bagels! read more

Their refrigerator is not cold, so unless you want a slightly cool Snapple. best skip it. The tall blonde, strung-out looking guy behind the counter is befuddled, making four mistakes on an order of two bagels. If he is behind the counter next time I'm walking out. read more

Review based on the cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese, which was sadly very mediocre. The cream cheese was slightly under average -- 5.8 on the bagel itself and a 4.5 on the cream cheese. read more

i go to get breakfast here pretty often and the staff is wonderful, food decently good, but they always forget to put ketchup mayo etc and then it's just like my sandwich is bland after that. read more

I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese, and it was perfectly done. The toasted bagel was crispy on the outside and slightly chewy on the inside. The bacon was fresh, and it was not over seasoned when I asked for pepper. They did not charge me to toast the bagel, or at least they didn't tell me they were! The staff was very nice but the shop is kind of small, so I imagine it can get very crowded. It seems like there are a lot of people to staff it, and the person that helped me was wonderful and kind. I recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bagel or a sandwich or even a breakfast platter. read more

Bagel Bazaar has been a neighborhood staple since the 80s and I hope they stay forever. This is one of the few places that still hand roll bagels on premises every day, and damn good bagels they are. Yes, the service area is tiny, but that's because you need room to mix the dough, hand roll the bagels, boil them, put the various toppings (onion, garlic, sesame seed, salt, poppy seed or everything) and bake them, not to mention make the delicious breakfast sandwiches they turn out. There's a reason there's always a line out the door. Do yourself a favor and find out for yourself! read more

Do not know how they have 4 stars.. a few times I've been there.. they have been extremely rude.. especially the last 2x.. when the short guy gives me the wrong order .. and gets upset.. when I correct him. For rhe bagels being mediocre... that service was unwarranted. read more

One of the best bagel spot in the neighborhood! I'd always come here to grab breakfast on the go before school/work. Most of the time would order the bacon egg and cheese on roll. Sometimes I'd get a cream cheese on everything bagel. Another favorite of mine is a toasted bagel with either butter or cream cheese and jelly/jam! Service is quick and friendly. Also right near the subway station too read more

Best bagel on the planet, hands down. The place is amazing. It's been a staple in the neighborhood and one of the few places left. Its quality has kept it there. read more

Being new to the neighborhood, my boyfriend and I had to find ourselves a new go to bagel store and this was the first to pop up. Following the good reviews, we got two bagels with cream cheese and it was pretty good! The bagel inside was soft and even though I didn't request less cream cheese, the amount they slather onto the bagel wasn't all just oozing out. I believe my boyfriend and I found our new go to! :) read more

Very rude establishment. Called to place an order and the guy said they don't do that like a jerk and just hung up on me before I could even get a word out. Great way to treat paying customers I think not read more

I throughly enjoy the onion bagel with butter from Bagel Bazaar and it's much better than most other bagel places around the area. They aren't overly doughy and when it's toasted, it's near perfection. The bagel has great flavor and the ratio of onion is just right. I also appreciate that the butter is a perfect amount and is soaked into the bagel nicely, rather than dripping on the wax paper that happens way too often at other places. Parking is a little difficult since it's right under the train on Bay Parkway, but since I go early enough in the morning in my way to school, I easily pull up quickly to run in and out. The coffee is also really good and always hot and fresh. I appreciate that they smile and warmly welcome me each and every morning I stop in!! read more

Definition of brooklyn bagels over here. Freshly made bagels in the back with long lines in the morning and peak bagel munching hours. They have an assortment of all kinds of cream cheeses and other goodies that can go on top of your bagel. My go to is always the scallion cream cheese and the lox whenever I want to indulge. They also have popular breakfast items like croissants and ham/egg/cheese on rolls. A neighborhood favorite presumably since good service depends on whether you're a familiar face or not. They don't accept card and occasionally hand out stamp cards. Though their bagels are good, I wouldn't recommend their iced coffee. read more

This was my order of home fries for $4.50. The bagel bacon, egg and cheese was ok though, but not much bacon. read more

Bagel Bazaar - Home fries - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Utterly unremarkable to look at both inside and out, one expects this little take-out space to be a typical neighborhood bagel shop. But that tiny front-end hides a much larger kitchen where they make the bagels and rolls they sell. This puts Bagel Bazaar on an entirely different level. Their freshly made bagels and rolls don't need toasting (and they'll tell you so if you ask for it). Trust them. Both bagels and rolls are relatively light-bodied with a gentle give, outside just a bit crisp, with bagels being more robust. They make terrific sandwiches. The filling options, cream cheeses, meats, eggs, etc, are good, not extraordinary, but everything just tastes better in their bagels and rolls. Service is the toughest thing to navigate. Being as busy as they are, there is almost always a line, with not much space to wait. With most of the prep work happening in the kitchen area (partially open to the counter area), the counter sometimes seems unmanned, as long as a few minutes, which can seem an eternity if you're wondering if someone is even going to take an order. When busy, phone orders aren't taken. The staff are efficient and courteous, but are going to keep things moving along. Regulars know how to navigate. Give Bagel Bazaar a chance and be rewarded with some of the best breakfast sandwiches in the area. read more

Had the huge breakfast bagel. Sesame bagel with eggs, hash-brown, cheese, bacon, ham, and sausage. Huge bagel sandwich that could last two meals. read more

hands down best bagel spot in all of New York. that's it. that's the review. ok Yelp wants me to write more so I'm gonna tell you about how this place opens at the crack of dawn and is the only place open early enough for me to get a decent breakfast before work& that's saying a lot because I never eat breakfast. read more

Stopped by to grab a few bagels for breakfast, have been to this place a few years back. The guy behind the counter started giving me attitude for no good reason. If you can't handle the heat get out the kitchen. I know he wasn't the owner and I hope the owner reads this, I know it's hard to find good kitchen and counter help but you are only as good as your weakest employee. Not going to sit here and talk smack about the food which is actually good, but when your employees make your customers feel uncomfortable they don't come back and they tell others. I could have said something back to the idi** behind the counter but out of the respect for the other customers and the establishment I didn't. There is a bagel spot right across the street I might try them next time, and I hope you do too. Keep eating, keep living. read more

This is a no frills, old school bagel store. It's a small space; the counter is literally there once you enter the store. Tons of locals come here for freshly made bagels (you can even see them making it in their open kitchen). Go in ready to order or step to the side if you need to look at the menu. The staff are so efficient and speedy. I've dropped by in the early morning when it's packed and they plow through orders like nothing. I'm a plain kind of girl (I know, how boring lol) so bacon & egg on a plain bagel is my fave (I'm actually having one right now). You can't beat the price ($3.35)! I've also tried a couple other items on their menu which I'll share below. I also used to order my bagel with butter and jelly but noticed this oily aftertaste/smell coming from (what I think is) the butter. The smell was pretty overpowering and stuck to my clothes so I stopped ordering it. To clarify..the food was fine, just not the smell. Could just be me though..so don't take my word for it. Other items I've tried are bacon and egg with cheese which costs around $4, bagel with lox, oatmeal, and mini corn muffins. The lox is the priciest at around $8. The salmon isn't fresh, it's from a packet, but still delicious. The muffins on the other hand are standard..tastes like what you can get at a bakery. On the occasion I get their oatmeal which is made fresh each morning and I enjoy mine with brown sugar and bananas. It costs about $3 for a reasonable sized cup (slightly bigger than a Starbucks tall I'd say). As for drinks, you can find better. I've had their ice and hot coffee in the past which cost about $1.50 and am not a fan. It's just a little too watery for my preference. Overall, for the price and service, I highly recommend! TIP: They have a sandwich card. For every 10 sandwiches purchased, you get one free. If you forget to bring your card, ask for a receipt so you can claim your point later. read more

This is one of those "don't judge a book by it's cover" situations. From the outside, Bagel Bazar is not attractive, and when you go inside, it's even less attractive! There's not much space in there, 5-6 people can uncomfortably squeeze inside. The variety of drinks in the refrigerators is average at best, with your typical options and a couple of Manhattan Specials. They always seem to be very busy inside, maybe because it's so small it just looks that way, but the old red headed woman seems to run the place and there's two younger helpers up front. The place is so small because they do all the baking on site, so the space in the back is much bigger. Bagel Bazar is one of the dying breed of bagel stores left in Brooklyn, the type that hasn't "upgraded" and decided to sell 40 different types of wraps and paninis. The have bagels, and that's all they need! You can get bagel sandwiches too with cold cuts, but you care coming here for the good old Brooklyn bagel and that's it. A regular bagel with cream cheese will run you $1.75, while something with specialty cream cheese is going to cost you $3.25. My favorite is the egg bagel with their new cheddar jalapeno cream cheese. This isn't some synthetic blended mix, either. You will find huge chunks of cheddar and juicy jalapenos inside! The bagels are almost always excellent, not too chewy and just the right amount of crispiness on the outside. So, if you love bagels and can get past the ugliness, i recommend giving the no frill Bagel Bazar a try and get a taste of what old Brooklyn is like. Cash only! read more

I've been coming to this bagel store since I was in high school. The original owner still owns it, and as usual if your in the neighborhood its the perfect place to grab a bagel with butter or cream cheese or any other spread you might enjoy. Nutella??? Because, yes they have nutella!!! They have a large selection of bagels to choose from, and they are all made fresh in the back. Parking can be a bit intense but then again its located in the heart of 86th street bensonhurst and the parking ticket cops are watching your car like hawks. Bagels are soft and fresh and the owner is super friendly.It is my go to bagel spot when I'm in the area! Its small inside there are no chairs to sit, its more so of a take your bagel to go type of place. read more

My idea of a perfect bagel is one that is slightly stale on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Basically, I shouldn't see any loose crumbs falling out as I'm eating it. The bagel that I got here fits these criteria pretty well! Pair it with their cream cheese and you've got yourself one filling bagel for lunch for less than $3! They also sell rainbow bagels here for $2. I've seen these at other places and I would say that the ones here are more aesthetically pleasing. I've been walking past this place every day for years now and it never crossed my mind to make a pit stop since the outside looks kind of dingy. Lesson of the day: do not judge a book by its cover :) This place is a gem. read more

Bagel Bazaar - Rainbow bagel with cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Small shop with hot bagel signs in the front. They got their own spacious kitchen in the back. It looks like a normal deli when you first walk in. Love the service, food, and price. Their is a display of rainbow bagels on the counter. The menu & prices are above on the wall. There is a large variety of bagels to choose from. Same goes for the fillings. They even have fresh LOX. I tried the bacon, egg & cheese on an everything bagel and the rainbow bagel with cream cheese & jelly. The total was only $7 together! Compared to the city, it's such a deal here! Absolutely yummy and fresh. Love it. It came hot and you can see them make it in the kitchen too. read more

A buck fifty five and you've got yourself one of the finest bagels in Brooklyn. Hearty, slightly dense, chewy; a bagel of substance. This place has been here for eons; used to grab a well-toasted cinnamon-raisin drenched in butter at 7am every morning back in HS. I like my bagel with a crispy top and so much butter that it soaks thru the paper it's wrapped in and my hand gets greasy. Yeeeeah. Place is teeny weeny tight. Staff is friendly but fast, so have your shit together when you hit the counter. Cream cheese or butter, make up your mind already. People have trains to catch and bagels to eat! read more

Bagel Bazaar - Well toasted and overwhelmed with butter. - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Have to re-write a review for this place because this is ridiculous! I ordered a turkey bacon egg and cheese with double everything because this bagel store lacks on giving the right amount of eggs and bacon on a bagel. Everything was doubled when I received it, but the quality of the bacon and bagel was really bad. I had the worst stomach ache all day after eating it. The bacon was definitely old and so was the bread. Honestly I was left traumatized by turkey bacon, eggs and cheese on a bagel... I tried to give this place another chance but I am done now! Don't waste your time or money! read more

Mom & Pop shops all over are being shut down because of the takeover of corporations and franchises. Those bagels you get at the deli or Dunkin Donuts are nowhere near the league of a water bagel. The way water bagels are made is using the technique of boiling the dough before baking. Those you get a Dunkin or other locations are par baked bagels. They are mass manufactured, baked halfway, get delivered to the location it is being sold, and get baked the rest of the way. So when they tell you it's hot out of the oven, they are technically not lying. During the morning breakfast rush, expect the line to be out the door. During the morning breakfast rush, you have a higher probability of getting a bagel literally fresh out of the oven because they sell so quickly at times they don't make them fast enough. Years ago, some friends introduced me to whitefish salad. This is one of the few bagel shops that has whitefish salad as one of their spreads. So when I want to splurge, that is what I get as whitefish salad is a bit pricey. One of the benefits here is they have a sandwich card readers program. Read carefully. SANDWICH rewards, NOT bagels rewards. You get a stamp for each sandwich you buy. After you collect 10 stamps (buy 10 sandwiches), you earn a free sandwich. I was going to give it four stars because of the wait times waiting in line but the staff is really nice and very accommodating when I have them cater for work. Yes, they cater! Be smart and courteous and order in advanced. Don't go in the day of and expect them to just hand you over 100 bagels. read more

Bagel Bazaar - Toasted Everything FLAGEL with white fish salad and tomatoes. - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Bagel Bazaar is a dying breed of bagel stores in Brooklyn. The racial demographic of Brooklyn and especially the 86th street strip is saturated with many many many asian owned restaurant and bakeries so I understand the frustration that someone who isn't asian might feel when they're trying to get breakfast aka bec bagel, or bagel with cc or butter/ jelly and a cup of coffee. Asian food is great but sometimes a girl just really wants a bagel smeared with cream cheese with a few slices of tomato added into the mix and this is exactly what I ordered today when I went to Bagel Bazaar. They make the bagels fresh on premises which to me is the creme de la creme. You're getting a FRESH bagel. The moment I bit into the everything cream cheese bagel, it was love at first bite. The bread inside the bagel was so soft and bouncy and the outside of the bagel was a solid crunch. The price can't be beat either. Since they make their bagels in house, the price of a bagel w/ cream cheese is significantly more affordable than if you'd go to your corner deli. I've got to come back and try more of their bagels next time I decided to take this route to work. Don't ever close Bagel Bazaar. You are a gem in Brooklyn. -Yours truly, a Brooklyn Chinese Girl. read more

I used to get bagels here with my parents all the time. A plain bagel with butter and jelly- yummm!! I also remember it being cheap. Of course, the prices went up a bit. The bagels are still good, especially when it's freshly baked in the morning. So the only thing is that the bagel has gotten smaller....or did i get bigger? lol The bagel is still pretty good tho. I mean it has to been since it's been there for so long. Last time I went to Bagel Bazaar I saw that they made chocolate chip bagel!! Sounds yummy, must try one day! read more

I used to live on 82nd now reside on Ocean parkway I miss it it's a great store fresh bagels and best sandwiches where else you going to find affordable and great tasting salmon lox. Muffins always made fresh. Thank you bagel bazaar i shall return. read more

Similar to previous reviews, customer service sucks. Bought a dozen bagel + 1free for a office breakfast party and I asked the guy to toast one of the bagels in the bag and put cream cheese for me to go so I can have it on my commute to the city. I didn't mind paying extra. The guy told me no and that I had to pay for another bagel...when I already have 13 bagels in the bag. I don't understand why I need an extra bagel if I already bought a dozen from you. It's 6:00am, I'm starting my 12 hour shift and you couldn't even toast one bagel for me? You just cut a bagel in half and pop it in the toaster- it takes less than a minute. Even a child can do that (maybe). He also assumed I didn't have enough cash. Rude. Even though the bagels are good, No one deserves bad treatment so early in the day or any day period. read more

i lived in bensonhurst on 86th street for about 12 years now and finally found this little bagel shop. We were on the road to connecticut and we needed a quick breakfast on the road. We stopped by at this small bagel shop, no seats -- you just order and go. we order 2 coffees, a bacon egg and cheese on a roll and some eggs and bacon n the side. It was great and they also give you a card to stamp for each sandwich. On your 10th one is on them! read more
