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

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

This review is only for bagels and not for other deli foods they sell. Bagel Boy has THE BEST bagels in NYC. We have tried all of them, H&H, Essabagel etc. Bagel Boys bagels are bigger, chewier, have a good crunchy crust to them. Their bagel topping such as everything, sesame stays on the bagel and doesn't flake off. They also have a great selection of whole wheat bagel options. This place is a hidden gem, we have been coming here since they had an old store on Y and Ocean Avenue (so more than two decades) and as we moved out of Brooklyn still continue to come here for bagels because NOTHING comes close! I would not get the cream cheese as its a rip-off price wise. Also, would recommend getting iced chocolate raspberry coffee. read more

Good bagels with tons of variety. Has everything imaginable to put on a bagel:))they have sandwiches , paninis, salad bar , snacks, croissant, yogurt ,breakfast choices, fresh juices, iced coffee ... you name it, they've got it! And their coffee ( chocolate raspberry ) is to die for))). We've got whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and lox, everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and I had blueberry bagel with cream cheese. Every bagel was fresh , they make it on premises.Also we 've got chocolate croissant for mom: and she said she had never tried anything better. The total was $21 for 4 bagels , 1 croissant and one small coffee. I will be back to try rainbow bagel and my sister wants to try an egg bagel. And of course their coffee:)) The service was fast and superb! read more

I walked into the shop today to order lunch yesterday as I do once a week. The counter service staff have gone from great to "are you kidding me". On this visit, there was a female cashier wearing a T shirt that said "FUCK THE PRESIDENT" I keep my political leanings to myself but I was totally offended by the shirt and moreover, the fact that the owner thought that the shirt was appropriate to wear while representing his business is disturbing. FWIW, the shirt clearly was older than 6 months, so we all know who the shirt referred to. I'm glad I didn't have a grandchild with me because I'd hate to have to explain the shirt. Bagel Boy Owner: You are always short on counter people, your food is beginning to sink like the Titanic in quality, and your staff should adhere to some type of dress code. I'm sure that I won't have to look far for a new bagel store. read more

I've seen this place my whole life but never stopped by until now to try it. I'm so mad I didn't come here sooner. Their bagels have the perfect amount of crispiness to bagel to cream cheese ratio. They toast it so well and the bagel is not as thick as most places have it. I ordered the blueberries cream cheese and there were actual pieces of blueberries in it. The cream cheese itself is so soft and creamy. I also ordered the scallion cream cheese another time and there's big chunks of scallions. The price is not too bad as well. There's other more well known bagel spots in the city but this has the quality, price, and taste. Does not disappoint! I crave their bagels for breakfast sometimes. 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

Great food but the service.... no words on that. Ordered myself breakfast delivery thru the phone, I was promised to get it in 45 minutes- 1 hour. Haven't received it for 2 hours and they also shut down their phone. I had to leave my house and didn't know what to do so I wrote an email that was provided on bagel boy website. I was pretty angry because they made me late and seriously I understand the place could be busy and the weather isn't that great but at least let people know, don't just disappear and turn your phone off. On my email I asked if delivery is ever coming and what's going on in general and if I should call my bank for a charge back. I received an email back from them saying "watch your language". Are u serious ? In any circumstances you cannot talk to your customers like this. Never again! read more

I can across this place in a rush to work, so I ordered from yelp. This place did not fail to impress me. Absolutely fresh bagels. read more

This place is clean, organized, and efficient! The people behind the counter who are preparing and ringing up your food are quite pleasant. This place has a home-y kind of vibe, but is also pretty spacious-- with a seated bar-like area and signs directing the crowd where to form the line around. I stumbled upon this place hungry and confident due to the previous reviews I had read. My boyfriend ordered a sausage, egg & cheese on a roll (who orders rolls at a bagel place?!?) since the rolls DID look pretty fresh! To my surprise, this place has low carb bagel options! Being slightly limited on a keto diet, I opted for the low carb everything bagel, scooped & toasted, with tuna, lettuce, and cheese. Let. Me. Tell. You. This was DIVINE. I'm usually very picky about my tuna salad but this one was great and a pretty sizable amount was put on the bagel. The bagel itself was so rich in flavor too-- I was surprised since it was low carb! Although, tbh if it wasn't even low carb-- I wouldn't be mad about it. I was only in the area to run an errand but am happy to hear they have two other locations- including one in NJ near home for me! Will definitely be visiting that one when I'm around. read more

Great bagels. Quick service. So many different kinds of bagels and they have low carb bagels!!

Nothing like a Bagel Boy Bagel in the morning! There's no secret here that Bagel Boy is the cream of the crop of bagel shops in Sheepshead Bay. On weekend mornings, the shop gets crowded with a line almost out the door so that's a clear sign of what the neighborhood thinks of it. If you're a cream cheese on a bagel guy like me then you'll love the variety of flavored bagels and cream cheese they have, specifically the blueberry bagel and walnut raisin cream cheese! Yes, you read that right! It's a combination that my girlfriend turned me onto and I have been hooked on it ever since. She introduced me into a new level of bagel with cream cheese and I now see the light! It's one of the best breakfast bagel combinations I've EVER had. If you're more of a warm/hot foods on a bagel, roll or croissant person they also serve those here too. And they make them pretty dang well! You can order eggs, bacon, sausage, ham, cheese on any one of those. The eggs are always cooked perfectly and the melted cheese just tops it off. Despite the long lines, service is always swift here so don't get discouraged when you walk thru those doors on weekend mornings. It's well worth the 10-15 minutes of waiting for that breakfast goodness! read more

Your average tasting bagel. Even when toasted, does not really have a crunch/crispiness to it. Reasonably priced. Pretty quick service. read more

So impressed by these amazing bagel sandwiches! I got the he man on an egg bagel. There's eggs, cheese, bacon, and sausage on it. It's so filling and yummy. My boyfriend got the same sandwich but on pumpernickel. I also took a French toast bagel home and some day old pastries at a reduced price. Very excited to try them (chocolate croissants!) I definitely get the hype about this place and it's crowded for a reason! I also like how they put poppy seeds in the egg bagel. That's something I haven't seen before. Can't wait to go back1 read more

Delivery came a lot sooner than what was stated. I ordered the home fries, which were perfectly seasoned and tasty. Good amount was served. An everything bagel with cheddar and jalapeño cream cheese. The complete freshness of the bagel, complimented the thick cream cheese. Also, The Maxx Sandwich was ordered and that was delicious as well. A hazelnut coffee was ordered, however, it wasn't anything special but acceptable. All in all, I am pleased with the service and the food. read more

My friend that grew up around the neighborhood introduced me to Bagel Boy and I haven't been back to my local bagel spot that's just a block away. Bagel Boy is 12 blocks further but it's worth going out of my way for their specialty sandwiches and Colombian coffee. I usually get the same 2 speciality sandwiches and rotate the third depending on what I'm in the mood for. My 2 usuals are 1. cream cheese, turkey bacon and egg and 2. Peter Luger both on WWE bagels. So far I've tried the surf and turf and the chicken club and both are really good. I'm convinced I'll end up trying each speciality sandwich some day! read more

I always love the service when I'm here but the last week of November my grandma unfortunately suffered a stroke and was in the hospital. I have a big family & everyone was going to visit the next morning. I ordered ALOT and in the notes I explained I needed a little bit of everything because I was going to feed about 30 family members in a hospital and Bagel Boys literally just packed my bags with things. They made sure I had everything I ordered and then some. When I went to pick up my things the girl in the front was like I read your note and made sure everything was perfect. I won't forget that. This is weeks later, alot has happened, but I wanted to leave a review just to say I love them for this so much. I loved the experience in the most unfortunate time. So thank you Bagel Boys & thank you girl in the front. I'm so sorry I didn't catch your name!!! read more

I would give no stars, if I had an option. This place is always packed beyond belief, and that's the only time they actually get things correct. The amount of times, i've gotten food here, surpasses the amount of good experiences I've ever had. If you come here in the evening, except that your order, is going to be absolutely nothing like what you ordered. The staff doesn't write anything down, which they should, because they're not capable of making things properly unless they do. Today I walked in when there with no one there, and still my order is incorrect. There's some haphazardly made sandwich, that isn't what I ordered at all, in my bag that I checked when I got home. Do you think that they're going to give me a refund? Nope. They'd like me to take two buses back to the location that closes in 10 minutes, to exchange the sandwich. Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds? You screwed up the order, you compensate the customer. Am I supposed to unravel, the $12 sandwich on the counter, before I leave to make sure that you can properly run a sandwich shop? Who knew sandwich making became as difficult as neuroscience!? I'm so done with this place, and I've given it so many chances. It's so overpriced, with terrible service, and an absolute shit show 24/7. Stay far away! read more

Decent bagels, decent staff, decent prices. Lines as long as a shoe store when they drop new runners though! Breakfast sandwiches aren't bad - not amazing, but not bad. I'd just as quickly recommend Dunkin's which is right down the block tbh. read more

This spot is a hit or miss. I ordered the hungry man on a roll and when I got it, the sandwich was soggy and leaking all over. I've bought this sandwich multiple times and it never came like this. Additionally, the sandwiches are very inconsistent. Sometimes when I order something, it tastes AMAZING. Other times, it doesn't taste too good. Considering the fact that their prices are a bit higher, I was expecting more from them. read more

Bagel Boy - Hangry man on a roll - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Lives up to its reputation. Great bagels and sandwiches. Always a line but one person takes and makes your order.

Bagel Boy have always been a place I walk by or drive by but was told they have really good sandwiches! Though I am mostly in this area on weekends, it never crosses my mind to grab food from here. On a Friday morning, after doing early grocery shopping on a day off nearby, my sister and I decided to come by for breakfast. The line was pretty long- definitely can tell this is a spot of many locals here. They have a pretty extensive breakfast menu and specials but of course you can order your bacon egg and cheeses as well! We decided we wanted to get bagels and one of their specials. I ordered my regular cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and jelly, a everything bagel with cream cheese and a whole wheat bagel with veggie cream cheese. We also got the "he-man" on a roll which included egg, cheese, sausage and bacon. The ordering system is pretty orderly though it can be a bit confusing if it's your first time there (like mine) in total for 4 items, the total was around 15. Though it wasn't super expensive, it did seem to be on the pricier side compared to your reg deli orders. We got home to eat and for the tad steeper price point, you get a reallly good, soft and chewy bagel with a good but not overwhelming amount of cream cheese. Overall food here is great! Wait time for food and be 5-10 mins depending on the amount of people there are. Will be back again to try other menu items. read more

UPDATE: I ordered 1/2 lb of several deli meats and it certainly seems like a little over 1/4 lb. I say this because I also ordered 1/4lb of cheese and they all seem to be about the same weight. If you want deli meats, John's Original Deli is the best place to go to. From now on, only sticking to bagels here. Four stars for bagels. This is my go-to. Lox and cream cheese on a bagel never fails and they aren't cheap with the slices of lox either. I think capers + red onion *should* be included instead of be charged extra for it but I digress. I do have a problem with the delivery person though. They don't seem to follow instructions. This is 2x in two weeks. I had no contact delivery enabled with specific instructions to call/text once it's dropped off at the door--DO NOT ring the bell. There's a sleeping toddler in the house and both times they rang the bell. I get you might have other orders, but if you're delivering via car, call beforehand and say the order will be there in a few minutes or do it in the car after you drop it off. My phone # is listed on the order, PLUS on the delivery instructions section. Good food, just terrible at reading directions on a piece of paper. read more

Casual deli serving great breakfast sandwiches and coffee selections. Desserts are limited but tasty. Service is fast and affordable

Good bageles, guys are a bit unfriendly but I guess that's because they are very busy most of the time and it changes in a better side anyway. Coming there 3-4 times a week. Like that place read more

The person who helped me seemed annoyed that I was there. It's 2022 for goodness sake!!! I don't recommend this place for minorities. If you're white you're guaranteed to enjoy the service! read more

Have been coming to this Bagel Boys for almost a decade now. Quality and freshness are still the main factors that keep me coming back this day. This is a pretty decent bagel place, but I can't say it is my favorite bagel place in all of NY. Would definitely recommend to someone wanting to try a "NY bagel" for the first time though. There is not much place to dine in and eat, so this place is perfect for a quick bite. They have a pretty good breakfast special, which includes BLT on roll for 4.25, bagel with butter for 1.75, bagel with cream cheese for 2.25 and bagel with flavored cream cheese for 3.50. Flavored cream cheese includes vegetable, lox, scallion, walnut, strawberry. Would recommend this place, but not my favorite bagel place. read more

Here's my TLDR review, for the efficient, busy, and fast-acting bagel lovers out there: Though it might seem like a standard deli from the outside, Bagel Boy delivers top value when it comes to flavor, unique bagels/spreads/sandwich options, and portions. There is a huge variety of bagel flavors, both savory (think OG everything) and sweet (french toast, anyone?), and there are also a number of low carb and whole wheat options. Same with spreads - there are a ton of them, varying from savory pimento olive to sweet birthday cake. Bagel Boy also has a full deli, with salads for sale by the pound, sandwiches, paninis, wraps, and plates (both breakfast and lunch/dinner). Get there with plenty of time to spare if you are going at breakfast or lunch rush hour, because there will be a line. Get one of their flavored iced coffees or iced teas, or both. You won't regret it. Here are some more deets, if you have a little more time and attention span: The Shtick: No shtick here, just a really good Brooklyn bagel shop. The Product: I might be biased because this is my neighborhood bagel shop and I grew up getting them almost every weekend, however, I am older and wiser now, have been exposed to a number of other bagels, and these are still one of my favorites. The bagels have that perfect combination of crisp on the outside and thick doughiness on the inside that keeps me coming back whenever I need a good bagel fix. There are a million and one spreads laid out behind the counter for you to peruse while you are waiting on line - some of which are standard, and some pretty unique (birthday cake, banana walnut, olive pimento, etc), and there is a great variety of savory and sweet options. There are also a million and one bagel flavors, including a rainbow bagel, a number of low carb and whole wheat options, and, again, a great variety of savory and sweet options. My personal favorite bagel to order is a plain or everything bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese and lox (which are super fresh). Behind the case you'll also find fresh salads prepared in-house that you can order by the pound, including fish salad, tomato and mozzarella salad, and beans and pasta salads. If you're in for lunch instead of breakfast, the sandwiches are incredible (they also have wraps and paninis but I have never gotten one of those), my favorite being the Joe Special sandwich (chicken cutlet, roasted peppers, mozzarella, onion, and Italian dressing). The deli meats and cheeses are fresh and delicious (Boar's Head), and the sandwiches range from classic cold cut combinations to unique chicken cutlet (or grilled chicken) sandwiches. Lastly, Bagel Boy also has pre-made to-go case, which is just as delicious as the freshly prepared versions. Oh, and the iced coffees and teas are amazing (get the hazelnut iced coffee or the mango iced tea). The Space: It's huge in here, and during popular times the line often wraps around the whole back half of the store. The line doesn't exactly move very fast and if it's totally wrapped, you could be waiting 30+ minutes for your sandwich. (It's worth it, I promise!) There is a decent bit of seating to dine-in, but the majority of people typically take their food to go. There is a parking lot right behind the store, but it is not Bagel Boy dedicated and is often full, however there is metered and free street parking on all of the surrounding streets. It is conveniently located one block away from the Sheepshead Bay train station. The Staff: The staff here are very competent, helpful, and efficient. Make sure you remember who took your order, because you'll follow that person all the way to the register! Price/Value: Definitely one of the more reasonably priced bagel shops for NYC ($7 for a bagel with lox, $5 for standard BEC, $6 for a breakfast platter, and less than $10 for wraps/paninis/sandwiches. The portions are large and they definitely do not skimp on spreads and sandwich ingredients, so you're getting a bang for your buck. Excellent value! Bonus: Open late! (10 PM) read more

If you like fresh, tasty bagels made to order, then this is the place to go. My two favorites are hands down the egg bagel with lox and the French toast bagel with chocolate chip cream cheese. They're consistently fresh, delicious, and the bagels have the perfect texture. read more

A neighborhood staple and still the best bagel I've had thus far in NYC. That basically means anywhere, by the way. Because while most ppl know NYC as the pizza capital, it is the bagel Mecca even more so. There are 15 people behind the counter on any given day and possibly double that on weekends for good reason. Well priced and a plethora of options for toppings, sandwiches, pre-made salads, unique junk food options and a fullly operating coffee station of 7 urns... Bagel Boy has stood the test of time. If you want to invest in a local shop that can reap you proceeds like a Starbucks would, this is the first place that comes to mind. Oh, food-wise I generally get an egg everything or wheat or lo carb bagel w CC. read more

Best bagel store in south Brooklyn! It's got a ton of options and the bagels are the best in the area!

Bagels are good. But I went in for a hot grilled chicken wrap with chipotle mayo lettuce tomato, mozzarella cheese. He gave a cold cut wrap with boars head chicken teriyaki. He probably thought I won't know the difference, also if he didn't understand the order make sure to check with the customer. Also I emphasize hot or warm he gave me freezing cold. Otherwise their coffee, muffins and other sandwiches are also good. read more

You can always find us here for breakfast. Our kids love the classic egg and cheese on a roll. There is always a line here-- and for good reason. But it moves quickly and it is a very well organized business! Thank you! read more

My favorite breakfast is a scooped out toasted everything bagel with bacon, eggs over medium and cheddar cheese...simple enough. However, all other bagel shops always manage to mess it up one way or another. Bagel Boy is nowhere near me unfortunately, but whenever I'm in the neighborhood, I go there to get you because they make it so perfect every time. Truly the best. read more

One of the best bagel places in my neighborhood. They always have lines during rush hours(8-10am and 12-1pm), so make sure you calculate extra time for yourself. They have a lot of coffee types ( hazelnut, French vanilla, decaf etc ) and few tea choices. Then you can pick the bagel which you prefer ( I'd recommend you to try everything bagel toasted or egg everything bagel toasted). Well my usual choice is everything bagel toasted with vegetable cream cheese and smoked turkey or lox. Or my new discovered love is egg everything bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese, tomato, avocado and lox plus pickles on the side. Man, this is just too good to be true lol. Every ingredient is always super fresh, so you don't have to worry about it. If you are for healthier food or want to step by during the lunch time you can pick oatmeal with toppings, soups or self made salad( they are actually delicious! You just pick the ingredients). Well if you got excited to try this goodies step by! read more

Ugh what can I say about my beloved Bagel Boy? I moved out of state and now need to take 3 hour flights for my fix: - everything bagel or everything egg bagel, scooped out, cream cheese, lox, no toast - box of rainbow cookies ... this review doubles as a shopping list for when NY/BK friends visit.
