Why anyone would come here expecting the people behind the counter to hold your hand as you get your first NYC bagel blows my mind. Go to one of the million chains. Come in, get your food, get out. They make terrific bagels and have lots of cream cheese options. Coffee is good, basic, and just what you want on your way to work. Been coming here for years and still obsessed with this place. read more

Our friends live in Riverdale, so this Bagel corner store was just a few blocks from their apartment. They raved about the place. I got a pumpernickel one and my husband got the "everything" one. They were just ok...I don't think they were anything special. I have tried both NYC and Montreal bagels and I am definitely a Montreal bagel fan. Bagel corner had many choices of bagels, but with no signage or markings on the baskets knowing which was which..... Definitely offering variety....but you have to know what you want..... read more

I had recently gone to the bagel corner for lunch. I had politely asked the employee for a plastic bag, in-order to take the remaining food along to my appointment.The employee stated that there was a charge of $2 for the plastic bags. I had responded back to the employee that I had thought that was rather pricey for the plastic bag.The response that I was given was,that the plastic bags are hazardous to the environment and that's the reason why they are encouraged to charge a fee for them. I had later mentioned my experience to someone that I know that frequents the bagel corner.They mentioned to me that they never heard of anyone being charged for the plastic bags. In-order to satisfy their own curiosity,they had gone the very next day and had made a purchase.They had asked the very same employee that served me, how much would it cost for a plastic bag.The employee had responded back to them, " we never charge for plastic bags" and then the employee had gladly given them one. This is the very first time that I have ever written a review, this one takes the cake.The employee was the only person working in the store, with the possibly of the baker working in the back of the store the day of my experience.That's what happens when there is no supervision in the work environment.This experience saddens me because I have always enjoyed the eatery. read more

Love coming here in the morning for fresh bagels. They all are uniquely delicious bursting with flavor. Just purchased half a dozen to take home. Put them in a ziplock and they stay fresh for the next few days. My personal favorite is the everything bagel little messy but so worth it. Staff is so kind a friendly. read more

This place is always packed in the morning, the schools are close and there are lots of hungry parents, grandparents and kids. But the quality is not great, the bagels are just not that good. When you eat 1 bagel it's the equivalent of consuming one whole loaf of bread. So when you make that commitment, you want that bagel to be just right, the right size with a slightly crisp crust and a nicely balanced dough consistency inside. Plus their everything bagels always come out burnt, the cream cheese is always a huge lump in the middle. Look at the whitefish container attached, it's barely half full, that's freshly opened! It's messed up. I love the people working the counter, very kind and friendly but this is still NYC, if you're going to make bagels, you gotta represent. Please be better. read more

The bagels were really good but it was a little stressful inside the store! Small space, crowded with a long line and staff trying to move the line along. From what I could see, the bagel flavors and cream cheese flavors were not listed anywhere inside so it was difficult to decide what to order. All worth it for a good bagel though. :) read more

Perfectly good bagels and spreads, okay service, but how can lox and cream cheese on a bagel be more expensive than a lox deluxe, which includes tomatoes and onions and capers? It makes no sense, and there's no response when I ask the staff why other than, I don't know; I didn't make the prices. Obvious solution is to just charge me for the lox deluxe, but that would make too much sense. read more

Ok so i been to this place 3x and i want to say this... Pro's: This place has homemade bagels that are good! A lot of dope cream cheese flavors and pretty ladies making your orders Con's: The ladies sometimes don't know how to handle more than 5 or more customers. They rush productivity so you won't get a toasted bagel if you ask for 1. They will rush the process to get to the next person. 2x's i ordered a toasted bagel and just got a warm bagel smh. If they just step up their customer production this place could flourish read more

Place got pretty busy on a Sunday morning. Service was kind of rude and snappy. They had ran out of everything bagels early in the morning which was unfortunate. I got a plain bagel with jalapeño spread which was good. It was pretty small inside and prices weren't terrible. read more

Cute tiny little shop in BX. Delicious bagels! Could have been a little heavier with the smoked white fish. Took the bagels to go and ate in the car. I feel bad for the rental place that had to get the everything up out the ride. But the bagels were so good it is worth the stop! read more

Favorite lox omelette bagel! Bagels are always super fresh and this bagel in particular is very filling. The place is always packed but they are quick and very friendly. I add muenster cheese, black pepper ketchup. Delicious! read more

called in to place order as done in the past at its number. Got a VM that line busy and to leave message, which I did. Called again and got same VM. At shop, the cashier said no order called in and the shop has no VM. After checking phone number at the the shop, which was the same as I called, the cashier repeatedly refused to order it herself and only pointed and told me to place order directly . Seeing the obvious long line, I left. I do not believe that this was appropriate for your staff. I have purchased before without any difficulty. read more

If you are in Riverdale, BX area and on the go this place is definitely the best spot for a bagel. They had a line on Saturday morning but definitely the place to stop and chat with others. Service was fast. Plain bagel toasted with cream cheese was good. Black coffee was freshly made. Does not have a lot of space to sit outside so is more of a first come first seat but worth it. read more

It's pretty much your average neighborhood bagel shop. I'll say they are a very high 3, almost 4 stars. Absolutely friendly customer service and great prices. It's more of a takeout spot.The line is out the door during the weekends, but they usually try to get you out of there quickly. I try to get here early, before 9am. They offer a variety of fresh bagels, hot and cold coffee drinks, and pastries. They have mini bagels and bagels twist as well. The cheese omelette on a bagel is pretty good. read more

The bagel was very mid; it made me very sick! I won't recommend to people with bad stomachs.

Love the bagels and toppings but wish the service was a little less frenetic and more friendly. The dozen bagels is a baker's dozen, which is nice. Prices are okay, not great. I guess what matters is the bagels, so go for the well made bagels! read more

The place is convenient and my wife and I enjoy a weekend bagel. Always a bit chaotic/inefficient/sloppy. Very inefficient process for a BEC. Could use real seating. Owner is creepy. Would love a better bagel place in Riverdale. Someone save us! read more

They're definitely NOT closed, as I have seen recorded by other Yelpers recently. Today is 1/09/21, and I just left the location with two pastrami Kings and a tuna melt in tow. I'm glad we took the chance and gave them a call to make sure that they were open. As usual, I called in my order while on the way, and by the time I got there within 15 minutes my order was ready. I inform the owner that Yelp page shows that they're closed. Business is definitely booming. I'm assuming that may be a few patrons assumed they were closed over the holidays. It's always best practice to order ahead and pick up. The line can be pretty intimidating but even if you order in person, they are pretty efficient and it will definitely be an in and out process. read more

This is very fresh place love the bagels, however very pricey! When eggs went up so did the prices which is understandable but eggs are low again and they haven't dropped the prices. Not very nice ! read more

Great bagels, lines get long on the weekends but they're good. The prices have gotten excessive recently hence why I had to take off a star.

Best bagels in Riverdale! Soft fresh and delicious! The place is nice and clean and the staff is friendly. read more

Delicious bagels and variety of spreads all very appetizing with the very pleasing pleasant employees

My go-to neighborhood spot for bagels. I've been there at least monthly for the last few years, and sometimes weekly. Bagels are great. Pumpernickel bagel is missing something that I can't seem to put my finger - um, tongue - on, but a decent bagel, nonetheless. Cream cheese is always fresh. I've only ever gotten plain, scallion, or veggie cream cheese and they are all tasty. I've tried the lox, it was good. I've tried an egg sandwich, but they cook the scrambled egg longer than I like. Coffee is great first thing in the morning, but any time after about 9-10AM, the coffee starts to taste burnt. There is a decent variety of chilled beverages available. They have iced coffee and hot tea options. They also have a small selection of baked goods. The usual staff there are always friendly and efficient - they are focused on customers and preparing orders. Anytime I see confusion in the store, it's usually because a customer was not paying attention, or taking up space and not keeping it moving. Staff can only do but so much when customers aren't keeping the flow going, too. There are some counter height chairs and ledges for eating inside and outside. Not the most comfortable, but I've seen customers eat there without too much trouble. The entire place is not that large. It's usual to have a line going out the door on weekend mornings. I've witnessed an irate, condescending customer berate staff on two different occasions. It may have been the same customer both times, but I'm only about 75% sure of that. However, it was different staff during each incident and staff handled it with grace and professionalism. read more

Note to owner/manager: This is my go-to in the neighborhood but the staff is generally I'll-tempered and impatient. This morning I had a disturbing experience in that free samples were put out (nice touch, thank you) and I asked the gentleman at the cashier if there were nuts in the bread pudding and he responded "I don't know, they just put it out". I AM NOT ALLERGIC TO NUTS! but I believe nuts were in the bread pudding. I informed him that a person had recently died as a result of a nut allergy. He responded, "Well, if you have a doubt, just don't eat it". That combination of poor training and lack of knowledge and good sense, could trigger a massive lawsuit and take a business down. Unfortunate! read more

We were the only ones in the place and the people behind the counter went about their business and ignored us as if we weren't there. We ordered a bagel with lox spread and one with egg salad. Bagels tasted like they weren't fresh. Big disappointment. read more

Let's be clear - you're not getting a better bagel in the neighborhood. Especially not if you're looking for the classic lox, capers, tomatoes, onions. It's the freshest around and always on point for a weekend breakfast. read more

I never expect to be greeted by roaches when ordering a bagel at 10:17 AM. This is the second time I've seen in this bagel shop once a dead roach in the window now a roach crawling over the bagels in the bins. I was so pissed! It cost nothing for exterminators to come and spray. read more

Neither owner or employees have any concerns for customers with food allergies. I've asked several times to have the Lox moved to another area in serving station, so that it's not carried over, possibly contaminating, the cream cheese. Today was it! The Lox were literally laying on top of the cream cheese in the serving station!! When I voiced my concern to the owner and reminded him about our past conversations about the serving station set up, he responded with "Oh she's a lovely girl". Wait. What? Who said anything about the girl?? I'm concerned about my allergies and this guy is completely oblivious to the conversation. He offered to make new bagels for me but I refused, the bagel's were for my husband and our dog. But the fact remains they have no concern for food allergies! Can't help but wonder if there are others in the community with same concern? Doesn't matter either way, I will definitely not spend another dollar in this store! P.S. had to give it 1 star in order to post the review but quite frankly they don't even deserve it! read more

Not the best I've ever had but a really good bagel in the neighborhood. The garlic/herb cream cheese was so good (a little salty), as well as the vanilla raisin. Come early because they do sell out of bagels by noon. read more

Great Ingredients makes for a Great Bagel the Bronx Best I am happy they are finally on are available thru delivery service Grubhub ect.

One of the best Everything Bagels I've ever encountered. 10/10 on ambiance and neighborhood presence. Could have better drink selection..but nobody's perfect right? Will definitely be back!! read more

Food is always made fresh and quickly, i've come here a few times and carefully observed before writing a review. I normally get a mini bagel toasted with veggie spread Tuna, it's very tasty and just enough for a quick bite. I find however that the cashiers are extremely rude, nothing in particular has ever happened to me however it appears to be 2 women very rude and standoffish, i've heard mumblings, rude comments, it definitely stands out so i try to avoid this place many times but it's quick and fresh and convenient. read more

The bagels are ALWAYS fresh and the cream cheese flavors are great - if you're a fan of lox I HIGHLY recommend trying their pastrami lox on your bagel. Pro tip: the bagel twists are fun to pull apart and eat in pieces read more

I order from UberEats and no matter how specific you get, the employees don't pay attention to instructions. I often find my bagel mixed with a different cream cheese. Mind you, I have dietary restrictions but they're not considerate about that. They're too lazy to prepare more coffee when they run out. read more

Don't know. I went there for a quick bite bagels looked good .The aroma was good .The place was full.I was by the door.I couldn't get in all the way.There was a customer's ahead of me so not to touch the lady in front I was partially blocking the door.When an employee rudely says to move in because the ac is on.He should of asked people to move up.so the door can close.I felt targeted because I am Hispanic. There was a way to ask to move in not with a attitude. I could have responded differently. Yet I felt targeted so my response was not kosher.I should of not responded the way I did.I do regret my attitude an for that I apologize. Yet the employee needed to deescalate the situation instead of adding fuel to the fire. By saying he would not serve me.I was not to pleased. To hear him verbally banter with me was appalling yet.I feel justified in my response. Customer service was not there.what happened to the customer is always right. I think a apology is necessary. I don't think I will go there again to small an 1 rude employee. I will also tell friends not Hispanic friendly. No read more

I went today to buy 4 bagels, listed at $1.50 each, on the cash register, it says quite prominently 4% cash discount. I gave a $20 dollar bill and got back $14, so I asked for the 4% discount, I got charged full price with cash. The cashier and others behind the counter, refused to give me a discount, and said that's not how it works. So, I guess the sign is meaningless. read more
