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!
Zee G.

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).
Akiko I.

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)!

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.

Decor/actual restaurant: This particular location is very small and tight with limited in-store seating. The interior is cute, I like the blue color theme they have here. For a restaurant designed for to-go orders, I believe that there could be more waiting room and a couple less chairs. Service: Like many "fast food adjacent" restaurants, the people who work there have good customer service but I imagine deal with the worst. I know they're doing great with the situation they're in. Kudos to them. Food: this is probably my harshest critique. I ordered a pesto chicken sandwich, and it was fine. I don't believe it was worth the $16 I spent though. The chicken was kind of bland, tasted similarly to frozen grilled chicken pieces you buy from a grocery store. I do wish there was more sauce. The pesto tasted good but overall there was too much bread. I fear you would be better off making something like this at home for a comparable price. The bread was good, just too much. I don't want to base the menu on this sandwich alone, a lot of the menu options sounded delicious, but this was just the experience I had!

This was my first time seeing one with roasted duck though. Just a heads up that the street felt a bit sketchy even though it's near the edge of Chinatown. We were unfortunately harassed by someone outside of the store and ended up giving him a few dollar bills... *Chinese Sausage Mala Wrap $10 ** The lap cheong was spread so evenly throughout that I got some in almost every bite. The mala aioli was quite spicy, but not overpowering or lingering. The crispy shallots added such a nice crunch too which I loved! *Duck Tsangwich $16 I was quite surprised that the roast duck skin stayed crispy! The crackly cookie topping could've been thicker since it was pretty flat. They give you chili oil on the side, but it was already super flavorful with the hoisin sauce. Only thing I wished for was more cucumber and scallion to help balance out the richness.

((4.5 stars)) Sunny…read moreand Annie's is very much a 24/7 neighborhood gem of a corner store and deli. it's packed with packaged foods--candy, chips, cookies, ice cream, soft drinks, beer, and a lot more plus the deli counter serves ups an endless list of creative sandwiches. i am not going to say this place is cramped but it kinda is. for example, if people stand in the wrong areas of the store, it will cause a complete standstill of a traffic jam in the store. my advice: order from the deli (and stand somewhere people aren't trying to get to) or grab whatever you need, pay, and leave. this place is not a place to linger. keep it moving. anyway, the obvious draw of Sunny & Annie's is the endless list of sandwiches that are handwritten cards that are stuck outside glass of the deli counter. there is literally something for the pickiest eaters--from hot sandwiches, cold sandwiches, wraps, and more. some sandwiches are named celebrities, politicians, etc. i have ordered a bunch of different sandwiches and have not made it through much of the menu. you can also create your own Frankenstein monster of a sandwich. while the sandwiches are a big part of the draw, the insane amount of snack foods crammed into the store is quite remarkable from the large stand of Doritos, Takis, Cheetos and other popular branded snack foods in the front to the separate stand of Wise snacks to an entire back corner of the store filled with all kinds of chips, popcorn, etc. imo, Sunny's has the freshest-tasting Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. i know an insane take consider it's a packaged popcorn snack from a megacorp (PepsiCo), but i'll die on this hill. maybe it's cause Sunny's sells a lot of Smartfood popcorn so it gets refreshed often, maybe they have a secret in/pipelinbe from the factory, or it's just magic/alchemy. i don't know, but the Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn never tastes stale-ish like it does at grocery stores, the bags never feel deflated because they have been on shelf long, and the popcorn never has that soft mouthy feel but still has the crunch to it. maybe it's just me, but Sunny's serves a great list of sandwiches...AND the freshest Smartfood Cheddar Popcorn. beyond the snacks, the service from the deli to cashier is upbeat and friendly. in all seriousness, Sunny and Annie's is an Avenue B institution at this point and remains a charming family-owned store--and is NOT a sterile modern clone of a neighborhood business.

Huge sandwiches. Would recommend eating on a roll vs a wrap only because a wrap falls apart more…read moreeasily. Lots of flavors going on. Expected there to be a more accurate pho-palette, but the fusion is fun and appetizing nonetheless.

As I took it out the store, it was like I was holding a bomb in my hands. It's literally massive! Unfortunately, I didn't have cash, so I did pay the up charge... But the $20+ is worth it since it is so big & can feed you for 2-3 meals! The Bomb sandwich is made with a hero bread that is like the length of my forearm! It has all the cold cuts you can possible think of (with several pieces of each one). Then comes the veggies like lettuce/tomato. The thing that is unique here is that they add peppers. The peppers add a spicy/sweet/tarty kick to the whole sandwich & it balances the taste really well. The sandwich can definitely be cut into 4 pieces & very well feed 4 different people and they would feel satisfied. It's also very tall so you really need to open your mouth wide to bite into the sandwich. Overall, the food is great! It does live up to the hype & it's a try-at-least-once kinda sandwich. Despite all the ingredients they put in there, the workers literally put everything together in minutes & really wrap it up nicely like it's an art form. They have been doing this for years & it really shows.

We ordered the Pisillo and the New York, but unfortunately, I never got to try the New York because they messed up my order and gave me another Pisillo instead.

Why should I have to pay extra to get the sandwich I originally ordered because of their mistake? They then offered to make the sandwich spicy with some peppers, but it still wasn't spicy. As for the Pisillo itself, it was decent, but I've had better Italian sandwiches elsewhere. The portions are undeniably huge, but you're also paying for that size, so the value isn't quite as impressive as it might seem. The service was disappointing. While the staff did apologize, the proposed solution to their own order mix-up was frustrating and didn't leave a great impression. The atmosphere is casual and no-frills, typical of a sandwich spot. Overall, the sandwiches are massive, but size alone doesn't make a great sandwich. Given the underwhelming food and how the order mix-up was handled, I wouldn't go out of my way to return.
