Overall average experience. I was surprised - although really shouldn't be anymore in Manhattan - by the cost of an egg white omelette sandwich. With a large coffee, I ended up spending $15 for what tasted like an average breakfast sandwich. The egg and veggies were cooked decently but the croissant wasn't particularly special. From the outside, this place looks relatively small, but upon entering you'll find ample space for seating purposes plus a selection of food items ranging from takeout side salads to homemade yogurt with customized toppings. I appreciate the early opening hours and hope to return but with a revised food selection.

This is AFTER I tried spreading out what relatively little lox schmear I got.

Good flavor, bagels are better than expected, definitely a place to come back to. Workers are friendly and the ambiance is pretty chill though can get busy! Just a small note: they could really put more cream cheese on the bagels. I usually get blueberry or like spread cream cheese-I feel like for the price nowadays, they could put in a little bit more effort to spread the cream cheese more evenly add a little more.

An average bagel store. No enticing aroma of freshly baked bagels as I entered. I wanted a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese and lettuce. I wanted one lettuce leaf which cost $1. One dollar for one leaf? I decided to have the normal amount. Seating was available and I managed to eat half the bagel. A restroom is also located here. Outdoor seating at the back in a private garden is nice

A solid bagel, no question. As someone who takes their bagels seriously, I wouldn't crown it the city's best--but it absolutely doesn't deserve hate. It delivered exactly what it needed to, and I walked away satisfied. The cafe itself is very cute. Lots of seating which is nice. I will certainly be back to try more!

only problem is the bagel's a bit hard. like maybe too "crunchy" (like, "crumbly") or sth but at least it's not my taste. but otherwise it's pretty neat. clean place, smiling service, the whole package. good breakfast bite. oh and they don't have a lot of coffee options (i tried flat white and they don't have it). but that might be me being too Australian and i'm not even Aussie :/

When walking into this shop the cute bagel decorations caught my eye and the spaciousness of this bagel shop was awesome. I got an egg, cheese and avocado on a sesame bagel. There was no line so my food came out quickly. I was excited to try it out. When I opened the wrapping the bagel did not look appetizing. But, I was very hungry so ate it. It was the most tasteless bagel... the egg and avocado and cheese were nothing special either. I was sad that it was not good as the place was just soo cute!

Look at that selection!

Great selections of bagels that taste the way bagels are supposed to taste. They are also fast on the breakfast sandwich. Came in one am to get two bagels and coffee. I like that I could cream and sugar my own coffee, because I like mine dark with one sugar and hubs likes his ridiculously light and sweet. Bagels were quick and well made. Only issue was mine had wayyy too much cheese on it. Some may like that but I'm not a gooey cheese person. Good specials.

Back patio!

Overall: great bagel! I would say 8/10 The cream cheese is delicious and the perfect quantity and consistency (if you like a generous amount). I only wish the flavor had more of a punch. The bagel is definitely fresh and tastes delicious! I will definitely be coming back!

Half of an everything bagel with cream cheese and the gluten-free bagel with tofu cream cheese (I added scallions at home).

I don't why anyone would give this place a bad rating, but anyway, while I'm not gluten-intolerant, I've avoided bagels for at least a decade because of how incredibly carb-y they are. Enter Bagel Belly, which I'd walked into one time with my partner because she wanted some ice coffee (or was it iced tea?). I was surprised at how spacious the place was and the high level of service for a bagelry. We recently ordered a gluten-free bagel with tofu cream cheese, and a regular everything bagel with cream cheese to go. Like most bagel places they are ridiculously generous with their smears (it's like napkins in New York or something). The GF bagel is smaller than a non-GF one but still really good and filling.

Love that there was seating available inside and some outside! Friendly staff, but a pretty average bagel (still tasty, of course... just nothing exceptional)!

Chicken Salad on a bagel

Quick service, affordable options, and decent taste. They're a great stop if you want a quick bite to eat with a vast menu full of foods and drinks. Tastes as you expect. Nothing special but not bad at all

Bagels are really delicious!!!! It's nice to have an outdoor space, too have a good price

Rainbow lox bagel
Ashley L.

Bagel belly was our first stop when we got to NYC as it was morning. We got the Lox on a rainbow bagel and a egg and cheese croissant. First let me say that this place has major character. Decorating the walls with bagels is genius. Everything tasted and looked fresh. Lots of seating inside and outside. I can say we will be back before we leave.

Last day in New York back the end of March, found us looking for a place to get warm and grab some…read morefood while doing our last exploring dash through Times Square. We ducked here to grab some nourishment before I became to hangry. Ordering takes place at the counter then grab a table. I had a 1/2 bowl of their "famous chicken soup" and 1/2 pastrami sandwich. Had good flavor and was enough to warm me up on this brisk morning. My niece did a bagel, and after trying all week she finally got one exactly how she wanted it made. We ate and chilled for a bit, no plans for the day other than making it to the airport to go home. Was able to people watch and catch up without feeling rushed to leave. Saw locals come through, so you know it is a place worth stopping. The staff were nice and even apologized for not being able to give me the soup I wanted in a half order. Though things can often get overlooked and passed by in the hustle and bustle of the city...stop in and relax while you grab a bite to eat.

Date of visit: April 14, 2026…read more Our friend wanted to go to a real New York deli during her first trip to the city and this is the one in the vicinity of Times Square and our evening show that was the highest rated according to my fellow Yelpers, but I am not quite sure why based on our experience. Things did start out great, with Boudjema being very friendly and helpful as we placed our order. And once we got seated, we were able to fully appreciate the vibe, both in the primarily 70s playlist, but also the mirror and brass touches across the restaurant. Food-wise, however, there were some definite opportunities. My Roasted Turkey sandwich did come on quite possibly the best rye bread I have ever had, warm and flavorful. But while the gravy was also good, the turkey was cold. This odd temperature mismatch made it hard to appreciate the generous portion of meat on the sandwich. We also ordered some tater tots and those were quite good. While it definitely could have been worse--and I've had worse in New York City--this also could have been so much better.

Delicious breakfast for three at 8:15 am on a Thursday before our half-day Experience NYC tour…read more The restaurant was a block from the Hilton Tempo hotel where we stayed. It is not the iconic Carnegie Deli, known for its huge corn beef and pastrami sandwiches. This place is known for its all day breakfast,, 24-layer Chocolate Cake, and massive milkshakes. Good food and drink menus and service. Our food came out quickly. Food was pricey, but it was well prepared, served in generous portions, and made with quality ingredients. Enjoyed by my daughter and granddaughter: Plain WAFFLE -- came with a fruit cup PANCAKES -- so fluffy and also came with a fruit cup Coffee I ordered the Pastami Egg Sandwich ($24.95) which was amazing! See photos. Quarter pound of lean delicious waygu pastrami Two sunny side up eggs cooked perfectly Flavorful Hash Browns Small salad Excellent Cole Slaw Sauerkraut Half pickle Cloth tablecloths and napkins were appropriate for food quality. Tables were spaced close together and the loud group next to our table was a distraction. An experienced, knowledgeable server with a pleasant manner is appreciated.

We got the chicken and pancakes along with the fish and chips. The fish just needed a bit of salt but was otherwise fine. The fries were fantastic. The pancakes and chicken were good too. The pancakes were soft and together with the chicken was great. This place is fairly large and quick with the orders.
