I had been going to Bagel Boy on Ave Z in Brooklyn for over 10 years. Bagels are fresh, shop is normally clean. However over the last few years, I've cut back from every couple of weeks to every so often. Their staff has changed over time and the guys that take the orders and make the sandwiches now have become quite rude. Whether its 1 or several customers waiting to be served, the workers just continually walk by and ignore the customers. While waiting in line, you hear the grumbles of the customer's saying this is a consistent behavior of the workers. If other orders were being completed you could understand, but they're not because as the grumbles get louder you finally see the workers walk over to the counter to take orders. What's really annoying is while this happening, the owner/manager (gray hair older man wearing a green shirt) when there, is standing a few feet away either talking on the phone or to someone. Sometimes an annoyed customer either leaves or speaks to him directly for him to get his workers to the counter to take orders. Last couple of times I stopped in, the shop wasn't full as it normally used to be. Maybe the rudeness of the workers have ran the customers away. read more

If you're in South Brooklyn and have a craving for a bagel, you already know that Bagel Boy is the spot you're visiting. A true Brooklyn staple (that has locations in Jersey too!) Bagel Boy will always serve up quality breakfast, lunch, and even dinner. Following trends with different flavors and colors of bagels, their baked goods are fresh and they work quick. If you're hungry for lunch, they have some great sandwiches, salads, and my personal favorite soups. I've been going here for years, and my best kept secret: their iced tea in the summertime. It's so refreshing, and I love having them mix the peach & mango flavors to create my own blend. Five stars always! read more

This place is located At Sheepshead Bay underneath/ by the train station. It is very convenient for people who traveling and need to pick a breakfast. I love the selections of bagels and spreads they have as well as sandwiches. My partner goes there every so often to order bagels from them. The service is decent and fast but workers could be little rude when things get busy. Usually a long line in the morning but they are quick. This place has been around the neighborhood for a very long time. read more

The manager with the grey/white hair wearing green shirt is very rude and nasty. He makes remarks to my boyfriend every time he sees him. No complaints about the food its just the owner isn't nice at all. read more

Long long lines but totally worth it. There is something here for everyone for sure. Fresh oj made here. Salads, bagels and oatmeal, muffins, cookies and anything else guys heart desires. If you want your bagel toasted you must ask for it toasted. Egg sandwiches came with cold a bagel!! We didn't ask for toasted. Should have been understood. read more

We stopped by after a doc's appt in the area on Sunday. Lucky for us, it was kind of empty since it was 4 in the afternoon. The place looks bright and clean, and the service is great. We ordered takeout so we could have it for dinner later. Note to self: eat the hot food first. My panini was still delicious, but it got kind of soggy after sitting on the table for an hour. The bagels always tastes good. I had one the next day for dinner. We'll be back for more goodies!! read more

Bagel so cold, the bread is not toasted! Service it's terrible!!! When I called them to say that they sent me a cold bagel and that it wasn't toasted, they told me that I needed to contact Uber. What does Uber have to do with it? They delivered it in 7 minutes. The point is that they sent me a cold, untoasted bagel. read more

I used this "bagel boy" long time. Today was the first time with the absolutely disgusting service.

Great food as always. Best bagels in Brooklyn! Delivery was perfect. Professional. Courteous. Couldn't ask for anything else read more

This is, on average, the best bagel I've had in Brooklyn, and I've tried many. While other places occasionally impress me, Bagel Boy delivers every time, and has been for the ten years I've been going there. Most importantly, if something goes wrong, they fix it and do right by the customer. That's crucial, and set them apart from other businesses. If you want the best bagel you've ever had, this is the place. read more

I brought a bagel and a cup of coffee. It was ok. The service was fast even though the place was crowded. The variety of coffee flavors is why I gave them three stars. I didn't think the everything bagel with cream cheese was that great. It is most likely that I would come back here again. read more

This used to be the spot back in the day. I would bring visitors there to get them authentic New York bagels. Unfortunately it has really gone down hill lately, can no longer recommend it. The prices have doubled, bagels are usually stale and average at best. With so many other spots for bagels in the area, will not be coming back. read more

My favorite place. Best sandwiches ever. Best bagel Ever. Amazing customer service. Ambiance is great, you watch them Vigorously working with smiles. read more

I've had bagels from here twice now. Once they were brought in and once I got it directly from them. The bagels are very fresh and have great flavor. This visit I was at the store. The line moved quite fast for a Sunday morning. It was also clean inside. Prices are reasonable. My only complaint was that one of the workers behind the counter was complaining to her coworker "what occurred last night" with some guy she's seeing. Not appropriate at all for the workplace or is appropriate to have that convo in front of customers. read more

Good bagel and they moved the line quickly. I'd never been before so I didn't understand how the line worked but other than that it was good

I have been going to this place for 20 years ever since I moved here to NYC. It has always been amazing service up until today. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and bacon, and the bagel they gave me was 5x smaller than usual, then they proceed to tell me that they have no more of that bagel and no refund or anything. Do not come here the service is not as it used to be and there is no ambiance. read more

I just walked out without anything from the one on Avenue z. I made my coffee, I went up to the counter to try to order a bagel. No less than four or five workers behind the counter, doing various activities. Not sure what. Like I was invisible. Maybe two of them were so engrossed in doing what they were doing that they didn't notice me. Another two looked at me, or maybe more correctly, looked through me, just completely ignoring the fact that I was a customer standing there waiting to order food.. Like I didn't exist. I put my coffee down on the counter, and I left. Absolutely ridiculous. read more

Love this place. They have a wide assortment of excellent bagels, and a wide variety of cream cheeses and other fillings. Also have other fresh bread products, including flaky croissants. Not to mention fresh desserts and packaged snacks. Service is always quick, and the staff is friendly. I've ordered delivery from them frequently, and they're always fast and accurate. A Sheepshead Bay gem. read more

I would say this is best and best of all places in Brooklyn that serve fresh and delicious bagels and sandwiches. These guys serve fast and hot. I go there every morning to grab my egg sandwich. The only issue is with their coffee which is cheap but not so good. You can eat inside or take out. You will in old American bagel shop here. Atmosphere is positive and warm. read more

Food is pretty good, I like their tuna salad. The only problem is there is almost always a line to order but I guess that is a sign that it is good. read more

Love this place! Very clean, well organized and staffed to handle the large number of customers that visit no latter the time of day! My family was visiting from CA, and wanted a "NY bagel." Where else to take them but our local Bagel Boy! The bagels are plump, and baked fresh daily; you feel the warm freshness when held in your hand! They have so many flavors of soft, creamy cream cheese too. Lastly, if you want a great drink sandwich, or breakfast, look no further! You'll be glad you stopped by if ever in Sheepshead Bay! read more

Ah, Bagel Boy. The OG bagel spot serving the south Brooklyn community for generations. When I was little we'd get bagels from there all the time. Two decades later, I went back, with a much more picky and refined bagel palate. Bagels are great. Big. Soft on the inside. Perfect exterior texture. Shmears. They have plenty. Salads galore. I ordered an egg everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, lox (because duh), tomato, onions, and capers. Truly excellent. Down one star because they gave me a regular egg bagel instead of an egg everything but that's okay, still ate it. read more

I come here often because bagels are delicious but sometimes employees give me barely any lox. I pay $13 for a cream cheese and lox bagel and it's unacceptable when I cannot taste any lox. Seriously one thin slice was undetectable in my bagel. Please tell your employees to give a fair amount of lox in this expensive bagel. NO BUENO! Please try better next time. Feel stupid by being RIPPED OFF by Bagel Boy! BAGEL BOY YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED BY CHARGING $13 for THIS bagel with barely any lox! read more

worst customer service in the whole world, messed up entire order and then dont want to take accountability for it. they tell you theyre going to transfer you to a manager and then put you on hold until you are forced to hang up and the food taste like garbage. 0 stars , horrible lady in customer service read more

I have been to the Old Bridge location several times. This location is a short walk from the Sheepshead Bay station on the B/Q subway lines. Pros: -Great location. -Prices are fair -Great selection. -More than just bagels. Cons -The bagel is just okay. A bit too chewy for my liking, but not terrible. -Ordering system is a tad complicated. -Nowhere to sit, outdoor dining is nowhere to be found. -Very loud and hard to hear the staff. For a quick bite this works. Otherwise temper your expectations. read more

I think bagel boy has some of the best bagels ever. That's what I love. What I don't like so much is that they over charge for almost everything else on the menu, they have really long lines and aren't particularly fast, and I find that some of the workers by the register are unfriendly or at worst rude. The bagels are hot , fresh, chewy, and delicious. Everything you would appreciate and look for in a good NY bagel. read more

While they are somewhat overpriced the real problem here is some of the employees have a profoundly stupid and arrogant attitude.

The bagels are great. It is a BAGEL Boy after all. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. Many nice people and kind staff. I often come here for lunch. I like bagels. read more

We ordered our team breakfast this morning and one of our coworkers found a disgusting thick hair in her bacon egg and cheese sandwich! Yuck!!! Check your food if you order from this place. read more

Good bagels, fresh nova lox . Has everything from salads, deli ingredients for salads such as prepared tuna or salmon salad, cold cuts, prepared egg breakfasts, a nice selection of different kinds of sandwiches (with your choice of bread), coffee, non-alcoholic beverages and more Everything is good quality, and what you would expect from a good deli read more

Great bagels and egg sandwiches! They also sell bags of day old bagels for a low price which is great when you want to freeze them for the future. I've gone here several times and the staff is always nice. read more

If I can leave zero stars I would.. service is absolutely horrible. It's like a funeral home. Nobody smiles. Everyone looks angry and miserable. It starts from the top. The owner is the exact same way. Grumpy old man. 15 people behind the counter and they walk by while you're standing there to order. Like out of the 15 people only 1 person takes orders.. the food is what keeps me coming back here. Other wise I would stay away... read more

Update: This place has 20 workers and they literally all move like turtles !!! Don't even waste your time standing in line for 40 minutes just for one salad or one bagel it's so Annoying! Not sure why you need 20 workers and no movement smh read more

I've been coming here for years ever since they had their small store on Ocean Ave and Ave Y many years ago. Even though the store expanded, nothing has changed except for longer lines every single day... Especially on the weekend. Bagel Boy has amazing bagels, the BEST in Brooklyn and even out of Manhattan! They are always fresh, crispy on the outside, and gooey on the inside. I also really enjoy their low-carb bagels. You can't go wrong with an iced coffee here and a bagel with veggie cc or a BEC on a roll. Amazing! read more

Very good bagels, great service, and good prices. A great spot to grab breakfast on your way to work, though it's quite busy during those hours. read more

Used to go to bagel boy a lot to grab myself my usual, plain bagel with lox and cream cheese which is amazing! Sometimes I switch to everything bagel or a raisin bagel to spice things up. I also enjoy getting a half pound of their lox to just eat as a side. They have a display window with their sides and cold pastas. Also sell chips and other snacks in there. Now with covid, I got takeout and got myself a everything bagel with lox and cream cheese ($12) and a hungry man special along with a iced coffee. Super filling and hits the spot! read more

First time here ,randomly stepped in for breakfast , got an everything bagel with lox, cream cheese, tomato, onions, and capers w/ an iced coffee light and sweet it was good , but overpriced . The service was kind of chaotic/disorganized, long line. The ambiance is very NY DELI. But then , I saw that they were selling pumpkin pies so I decided to pick one up. Wrong decision . The pie was terrible , tasted like medicine. Would not recommend. read more

Absolute Sheepshead Bay staple!!!! I've never met a bagel from Bagel Boy I didn't love. This is mine and my SO's Saturday morning tradition: wake up, walk in and sit in the corner (or on this day in the photo, outside) and enjoy our morning bagel and iced french vanilla coffees. Truly a spiritual experience, regardless if you're hungover or not. Do yourself a favor and get the power bagel or egg everything witu scallion creamcheese it will changeeee your life read more
