Bagels are good but rarely is my order correct. The listening skills are definitely not there.

I get a breakfast sandwich at the Avenue Z location almost daily, generous portions, and the bacon is fantastic. I used to get my breakfast at the other place right by the Subway station, two doors down. Quality difference is worth the extra two block wall to get my food from Bagel Boy. The soup and salads are good too. The biggest issue: they have no baskets, so if you get several drinks or items, you constantly have to walk back and forth to the cash register and there's always a line. If you call in your orders in advance, it helps, but some times they just tell you to come into the store, "We're not taking call in orders." Which is bad, because ANYTHING that keeps lines down is a good thing. It's amazing that there are another two places around the corner (Jonathan's and Dunkin Donuts) and they don't have nearly the business Bagel Boy does. It's a testimony to the quality of their food. Recommended highly, but just know the line is annoying sometimes but the quality of the food is worth the wait. I can also say, there are some extremely hot men that go into this place, and I'm digging the beef cake lol. read more

This place is outstanding! Their bagels are the best in Brooklyn (egg everything are my fav)! Their sandwiches are delicious! Great salads. The staff is friendly even though they get super busy. Sometimes there's a bit of a wait, but totally worth it. read more

The food is great, service is great, but it took an little over an hour to deliver even though I live less then 10 blocks away. And that's wasn't the first time it happens. read more

Best bagels in entire NYC! Ever since we had bagels from here we don't enjoy any other bagel spot! We drive all the way from Long Island to get bagels from this place. I would highly recommend this spot to everyone! read more

Love their salads. They always deliver in a timely fashion. Overall very friendly staff and fresh food. I just wish they had avocado in stock more often. their bagels are always fresh and tasty. I always know that breakfast will be awesome! Love bagel boy ! read more

Best place to grab breakfast and go! Unbelievable variety and quick service. The line is usually very long however it moves quick.

This place is horrible ! Workers behind the counter are beyond stupid , it doesn't take a genius to make my sandwich right . And it's not the first time where they can never get an order right . Like seriously it's crazy you guys are expensive , the least you can do is get the order right . They're beyond brain dead stupid ! read more

My boss finally stopped ordering the staff' lunch from this place ! Every phone order is wrong they don't know the difference between American cheese and white American . Horrible . N bagels are not even freshly made. read more

My favorite go to spot for fresh salads! Always with fresh ingredients and delicious. Totally dig the egg everything bagels and huge variety of other snacks and healthy choices to pick from. Overall BagelBoy has everything I look for especially the level of cleanliness and freshness. The prices are very reasonable for the neighborhood and portions are fitting. read more

Bagel Boy - Bagel selection is unbelievable - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I have been living in the neighborhood for 10 years already and this was one of my favorite spot until I had a bad experience this morning with one of the cashier (a blonde girl). You are not doing a favor especially when people pay for their own food. You are not allowed to give attitude with angry mimics to the customer when you have asked for something pretty simple. I truly dont like giving the negative reviews.nothing wrong with the food but staff.I guess owner has right to know what his/her staff doing behind the counter and how they treat the customers. Sorry not going back to this store read more

Bagel boy is really overpriced to say the least. Their quality of bagels and food overall has steadily been declining over the years. The staff is hard working and appropriate when it comes to assisting customers, no complaints there although the line is always out of this world. The location and hours are convenient but I think I know about two other establishments worth paying a visit over bagel boy. read more

I come here pretty often when I'm in the mood for a bagel. Since Russians like any type of bread since we pretty much ate it with every meal as kids I always have to get at least 6 bagels and bring some for my patents. Their bagels are huge and delicious however be prepared to wait on line for a while. The only thing I don't care for is their service read more

As the "duchess" of this establishment, having visited here more times than any other Yelp reviewer, I hope my review doesn't go unnoticed. I ordered a bagel with egg salad, white american, tomato and onion. I received a bagel with egg salad, no cheese, no tomato and no onion. This isn't the first time this has happened, and it's upsetting. Bagel Boy is not what it used to be, and this saddens me. The person in line in front of me also got an incorrect order. I made the mistake of not looking at my bagel before getting home, and I don't have the energy to go all the way back, so I'm dealing with it, unhappily. If I paid for cheese, tomato and onion, then I expect to get that. Unfortunate. I'm slowly giving up on this establishment. read more

Great bagels, terrible and stubborn service. Staff spends more time chatting with each other than listening. Two toasted bagels with veggie cream cheese. How hard could that be? Regular cream cheese and not toasted at all. Good job guys. read more

This is the worst place I've ever went to there staff is nasty and they treat people like shit and there food sucks and there prices are more expensive then other places. If I could give them 0 stars I would read more

Always fresh soft bagels and always on point with the orders..guys even tell you if the bagels are a little hard you don't even have to ask ...A+++ service always fresh and delicious!! read more

This place always has long line but their bagels are just mhhh appetizing. Im always happy with my bagels with bacon, eggs, and cheese, for the price Im paying; they better be delicious. With my bagels, I also get their chocolate muffin with cream cheese that makes me feel like I am in heaven when I eat it. read more

I remember when Bagel Boy first opened on Ocean and Z, way before it moved to where it's now been for along time.... I'm not a frequent customer, cause it's a madhouse there. And the coffee is not great. But this morning, wanted a bagel.And it was early on a Saturday, i figured the transaction should be painless. On my way to the train, I stopped at Bagel Boy about 7 :30 AM. The counter person asked "Next?". I said "I'd like a whole wheat bagel with butter, and a medium sized coffee, no milk, no sugar, no nothing." And i was pretty friendly. The guy says to me, "Coffee, no milk, no sugar? Just say black, that's all you have to say." And he was nasty about it, confrontational in his face and voice. In retrospect, i should have asked for the owner, told him what was going on, canceled my order, and left. But, i figured hey, what's the big deal? The guy's having a bad day. So i tried to laugh it off, turn it around, and i smiled, jokingly said to him- "Ah, you understand. Not everybody knows what black coffee means." Still rude, he says to me,"Yeah, maybe you go to the Chinese.". The guy was a Hispanic immigrant. In his 30s, maybe even his early 40s. He had a heavy accent. Now i again laughed it off, said, "It all depends how some one wakes up that day.". One of the bosses then appeared said, "We don't wake up till around 11 O clock around here." Now i don't know how much he heard, , but maybe now he gets to know the entire exchange. The counter person had no business coming off to me, or telling me how to order coffee. No milk, no sugar, well that's not black coffee, it's actually black coffee no sugar. So he was not only surly for no damn reason,, but he was wrong. Odds of me going back there, aren't too good. I'll probably stick to the Romanian Bread place on Jerome, - their coffee is much better, and they are very polite, or the new place on Sheepshead Bay Road, Portokali. The coffee is also better, less expensive, and who needs uncalled for attitude? read more

Great bagels. I really love the egg bagels they have here. Kind of hard to find a good one in other bagel places.

I used to love when my dad brought home fresh, just baked bagels from Bagel Boy. Nothing beat the smell and taste of the fresh onion and garlic bagels. We used to frequent the store back when it was on Ocean Ave, but I've tried the new location, and it's just as great! Quick, efficient, and nothing beats that fresh bagel from Bagel Boy. YUM! read more

Love the bagels, hate the service. If you just need to get something at the counter or pay for food you got off the shelves / fridge, you are pretty much on your own, they'll just ignore you and leave you standing there for hours. Am I not a paying customer?? read more

Excellent bagels with very surly service. Long lines may greet you in the morning, but for good reason. The bagels here are top notch, huge, and the pinnacle of the Brooklyn style with huge chewy bagels. The cream cheese choices are varied as are the bagel types. Very nice with sausage, egg, and cheese as well. Just don't expect service with a smile here in the Soviet Republic of Brooklyn. read more

Agree, most stuff tastes good, but definitely not worth 20 min of wait. The owner need to come up with a better system. Hate this place just because of unbelievable wait. read more

The girl that answers the phones is very rude. Have been hearing her voice for years and nothing has changed. Today not only did she get an attitude, she messed up my WHOLE order. At least she sent me a fork for my salad this time.. I love their garden salads with a scoop of shrimp salad which is on the menu. The only reason i order from them but if they cant get that right, whats the point? read more

This place never lets me down. Consistent, fast and the bagels are on point, read more

Bagel boy is always hit or miss - honestly it depends on who you get to make your food. That being said - once you find the right person who makes it the right way.. this place rocks! read more

The best bagels in Brooklyn! The bagels are always fresh and they have a great variety. My usual order is an everything bagel with cream cheese, tomatoes, and lox. The iced cappuccinos' are also amazing. Don't get discouraged by the long lines, they move really quickly and it's worth the wait! read more

Love the bagels! Love love love them! Their salads are delicious and fresh too! Good selection of coffee, salads, sweets, snacks and drinks. The service is good. Sometimes you might have to wait for a while because the place is always packed (did I say it has the best bagels ever?) but it is all worth it!! read more

This place is the baskin robins of bagel. Tons of different kinds of bagel. Never have I seen a french toast bagel (looks very much like an egg bagel which they also sell) until now. But I'm a plain bagel with butter and jelly or the occasional cinnamon raisin with cream cheese kind of guy so I haven't tried anything else. Both were ok, nothing that jumps out at you. On the other hand, their service is lacking. They need to change their ordering/paying system. The person you order from makes your food, then brings it up to the cashier for you to pay. Can't they just use a ticket system or something to streamline the process? They were times where four or five people in back of me get their food and pay before my food's even ready. read more

This place is legendary. They have every kind of bagel you can imagine, they make salads, paninis and even soup. They're lobster bisque is really good as well as the everything bagel with cream cheese. The seating is not so much an option for this place though, which is pretty upsetting. The place has amazing food fit for both lunch and breakfast and you can find yourself waiting in a long line. However, there is literally food everywhere around you so it's okay lol read more

, , . plain bagel, not toasted, scooped out, with fresh lox and cream cheese. , , . 10 , .

I mean, they really have the best bagels ever, and that's true, every other place i ordered bagels were always not same quality or taste. Cream cheese is always fresh. The only complaint is (and i dont really mind the lines, im pretty patient person) the attitude sometimes the person gives while making the bagel (not always, but still unpleasant) like they are the only ones making bagels and you feel like you are waisting their time. That's said: food great - service hit or miss. read more

The bagels at this Bagel boy were not as good as the ones on 86th street. So disappointing because I was craving an everything bagel with cream cheese and it just didn't taste the same. read more

A staple in the Brooklyn community for years. I remember I first had them when they had the location on Ocean Ave. A great selection of bagels (also low carb and whole wheat everything which is simply hard to find) make this a must. Also they have a great salad bar and selection of flavored coffees. I very much love their cream cheese and bacon egg cheese on an everything is still a classic. Workers are pretty consistent and they haven't changed a lot of them in years. Same familiar faces. A classic Brooklyn spot which hopefully will live on for many years to come. read more

Amazed that my fellow Brooklyn-ites have rated this place so high...have had their bagels several times and have been dissapointed every single time...almost any random Brooklyn bagel shop will slay their bagels. No crisp and the chew is lacking, to put it nicely. Please close down, thanks. read more

We all know brooklyn has the best bagels. Well this place has the best of them all! and they don't look at me like i'm crazy when I order a Bagel MICROWAVED with scallion creamcheese! read more

there is NOTHING like a NY bagel. And considering I am diabetic, their abundant array of LOW CARB bagels were a gold mine for me. The everything bagels are out of this world with flavor. I brough a dozen back to California with me and they were gone in a couple days. read more

This place is definitely the best place to get bagels in the neighborhood. The breakfast sandwiches are filling, and the ingredients fresh. Unfortunately, they are also put together rather sloppily. There have been many a time where I have opened the wrapping and there is a mess inside, it's almost like the cook missed putting the cheese in the middle and put it on the wrapping instead, or when the lettuce is not in the sandwich and is just all over the place. But when they actually place the ingredients in the sandwich - the sandwiches are great! They are also a bit pricey, close to Manhattan prices in southern Brooklyn. But for a treat, it can be worth it. Something to also be mindful of: they will allow other, multiple customers to pay ahead of you if you are a woman. Or if you a particular worker's "regular," even if the person just walked in and you have been waiting for 10 minutes or more. And when the issue was addressed, the worker said that this was in fact the case. It should be noted that this only happened with one worker, but workers are representative of the organization. This interaction will definitely make me think twice about grabbing a bagel from here in the future. read more

I absolutely love their bagels and food in general, just never ever order when you are hungry. Delivery can take 20 minutes or over an hour and a half you just never know. read more
