I got a crazy combo of everything, fried egg, cheddar, pastrami, and hash brown. Still dreaming of it. 5 stars - Plain bagel: my teen son said it was the best thing he had in New York. And he had several steaks and nice pastas! 5 stars - Bagel flavors: solid everything but fun ones like French toast were wonderful too. - Option for side of turkey by the 1/4 pound and up: good for my picky son - Order online and pickup option: glad didn't have to wait and they were awesome about reading the comments on customizations that weren't available in the checkbox Lowlights: - Since my son loved it so much, wish we had gotten more!

FOOD: We ordered a bag of 3 bagels-- everything, poppy seed & salt. The bagels were cute, medium sized and served warm/hot. We chose the scallion cream cheese which came in a lil container. Apparently the bagels are not made in the traditional manner, but they were still delicious with great texture and taste. We also ordered the tea (ok) and strawberry lemonade (yum). We enjoyed our bagels on the little countertop area outside. OVERALL: Definitely recommend! A different bagel experience than some other places (as in, those places where you are served bagels topped with cream cheese and other things) but we enjoyed the simplicity of the bagels and controlling the amount of cream cheese.

Anyways, the girls had bookmarked another bagel establishment but the line was hella long like they were giving away Knicks gear for free. Ironically another "bagel shop" search on Yelp showed PopUp Bagels was like three doors down lol. No line! That in itself was making me question but there is a PopUp in San Diego that my daughter swears by. PopUp advertised itself as "Not Famous, but known." Whether or not this bagel is better than the one store three doors up is something I cannot attest to. However I can say THIS WAS A DANG GOOD BAGEL! And it was freshly made! How do I know? It literally burned my fingers when I ripped it open! The pain was worth it. Outside, a slightly crisp texture generously coated with "Everything". Inside was a dense and chewy dough that was pliable but able to withstand the dipping and shmearing of cream cheese (which was smooth). Best I have ever had for sure but then again my most common bagel experience is the place named after a scientist where tons of bagels are sitting in bins for who knows how long. So why wasn't this a 5-star experience? One, I only ate one thing. Two, sevice and setting are "just there". Considering it wasn't busy I would expect a bit more of a welcome. To eat you're bagel you can full on just leave, sit at the three stools inside where it is super hot (bc hey they actually cook), or three stand outside. There is a little, I'll say "patio", where you can stand, eat, and true story, watch two people argue about who gets to sort through the recyclables from the neighborhood eateries. Snack and a show???? I just stood near the door and enjoyed my bagel.

You can take your food to go, as I did, or sit down at one f their tables. I only got a bagel sandwich, but there are so many things you could get here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If I visited a place more than once, I would try their tuna or chicken salad for lunch. Today I had the two everything bagel sandwich with a fried egg, crispy bacon, and veggie cream cheese. If you want crispy bacon, which is the only way I like it, then ask for it, and they will deliver. My bacon was so crispy! Loved it! Their veggie cream cheese is really good and filled with veggies. The everything bagel was delicious and toasted to perfection. The eggs are scrambled and fluffy.

This is the must try bagel shop on your NYC trip. Without a doubt, I would recommend going for the rainbow bagel. There are so many different cream cheese flavors here - The sky is the limit. The bagels are very filling. As this place is very popular and may feel overpopulated, the line moves fast. The verdict is: some trends do deserve the spotlight. The city never sleeps, and neither does its appetite for iconic eats. You should definitely try it at least once on your NYC trip. Thank me later girl. Xoxo, Gossip Girl

I was absolutely blown away with the amount of fresh, hand-made cream cheese / butter / spread selections - some of the ones that were available when I came were: Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter, Garlic Parsley Butter, Walnut Raisin Cream Cheese, Strawberry Cream Cheese, Cinnamon Roll Cream Cheese, Olive Cream Cheese, Nutella Chip Cream Cheese, Lemon Poppy Cream Cheese, Jalapeno Cheddar Cream Cheese, Garlic Herb Cream Cheese, Bacon Cheddar, Chili Crisp, Basil Pesto... I mean seriously the options are ENDLESS. Sweet, salty, savory, you name it. I will admit, it's a bit overwhelming because you want to try it all especially because they're all beautifully displayed. Even after you pick the spread, you still have to choose from one of the many different bagel options too so.. that's the hard part - making choices! There is seating available both in and outside. It's within a great walking distance and easily visible / accessible. Love, love, love!! I'm not from NYC, I was visiting so I will be missing this place whole heartedly - until next time!
