Sausage egg and cheese sandwich
Bob K.

Super legit bagel spot in Murray Hill near Baruch College. Consistent offering of bagels, spreads, toppings and a full grill for sandwiches. Sausage egg and cheese was excellent and also lox was great. No regrets.

Really good bagels! I got a bagel with sausage and egg and it was only $7. It was so crispy and so tasty, the sausage was made perfectly. My friend got an egg and cheese on a roll and it was also pretty cheap. The service is really fast and they accept Apple Pay, so super convenient

Fruit!

Bagel Express III basically just gets the job done. Their bagels are average and their attitude on the phones are that of stressed employees I guess? However when I go in person the lady who rings me up is always pretty nice. Pros: Great coffee! Decent array of cream cheese flavors being that they don't offer as much variety for delivery as they do when you go in person. Awesome value for their fruit cups-- you get a bunch of mixed (all very unripe fruits but luckily I don't mind) fruit for just $3.95 which is a steal! Cons: not much just that everything is average. Blah not impressive but I still continue to go because they have great coffee and the location is extremely convenient. I'd recommend you come here to pick up a bagel and cream cheese, fruit or coffee. Your not going to be impressed but again, it gets the job done.

In NYC this type of bagel shop is a dime a dozen. They are everywhere. Since I know these types of places I don't even need to look at the menu. I went with the plain bagel with chicken salad since the chicken salad looked good. The chicken salad was in big chunks and it wasn't overdressed with mayo. The problem was they didn't get my order right and put lettuce instead of tomato on my bagel. I also tried the carrot cake too and it was good but had raisins in it which aren't my favorite. The best part was they did have salt and vinegar blue diamond nuts which are tough to find. In the end the bagel was average and didn't taste fresh. A bagel shop with average bagels is not the best look. The chicken salad was spot on but carrot cake wasn't. If I was starving and in the area I might come back otherwise I would go somewhere else.

This place is all business on a Sunday morning. It's quick and efficient, but don't expect a "good morning." More like, "what do you want?" Ah, New York. Anyhow, the bagels are good, service is quick. It was around the corner from our hotel, so really convenient. Lots of neighborhood people in their sweats and pj's, which is a good sign.

I have a hate/love relationship with this place. I like it because they give you the classic Bodega sandwiches at great prices, but the customer service here is just sooo on and off. One day I come here and everything goes smoothly and another day, the workers are in a frenzy telling me to line up here or there. Till this day, I am still very confused on how to order here. I only come here for the bagels and spreads and usually I line up, but sometimes the cooks tell me to go straight to the register since I want bagels. Another time when I went straight to the register, the cashier told me to line up where the cooks were. ??? No idea what's going on with the lack of communication here. Besides that, the bagels and spreads here are actually really good. The bagels are fresh, don't have giant holes in the center, and they are a hearty size. They also have tons of cream cheese spreads. I've tried a good amount of them but usually default to the avocado cilantro cream cheese unless it is brown which means the avocados they used were too ripe or its been sitting out for too long. My second pick would be the basil. Some of their other spreads include: walnut & raisin, strawberry, oreo, blueberry, banana nut, jalapeño asado, salmon, lox, and Chipotle. Only a $3 card minimum!

Outdoor & indoor seating here

Wandering around 3rd Avenue on a very cold early midweek morning & looking for a place to have a danish, croissant, bagel or whatever, we were so glad to stumble upon Bagel Express III & it looked like we were not the only ones who were happy it is here. Bagels were fresh, large, not crazy expensive for NYC prices ($1.30 each), lots & LOTS of spreads to "schmear" onto those bagels, freshly squeezed juices, gigunda muffins, & all else that goes with breakfast-all-day food items. We found the service to be friendly & efficient. There is outdoor seating as well as indoor. We will come again when we are in the neighborhood.

This place is awesome, but as a non New Yorker, I was stressed out. The guys behind the counter yelling "next" when the extensive menu on the wall is so overwhelming you don't know what to order. They have a ton of home made cream cheese spreads, lots of fresh baked bagels, and all types of options. Probably, if your heart desires it, you can just shout it out and it will come to fruition. The bagels are fresh, toasted to perfection, and the cream cheese delicious. Pair it with a cup of fresh brewed coffee and you're set. The line moves quickly as long as people know what to order. Enjoy.

Last week I ordered the PB&J spread, they called to see what bagel I wanted. The bagel arrived with PB&J, that simple. Today I ordered the spread, then around ten minutes later a lady called at 12:51pm. For 17 seconds I said "hello?" "Hello?" And I could hear her having a conversation with someone in the background. Never checking whether I was on the phone and then they hung up. When only PB&J arrived without a bagel I called to say I didn't receive a bagel. The same lady said I called you and you didn't pick up. (I did pick up and was on the line saying hello for 17 seconds) I was then accused of making mistakes with the order and it was my fault. After taking as much attitude from her as I could, I asked to speak to a manager. From there a man who had difficulties with English, listened to her in the background and then told me that she called and I didn't pick up. I mentioned I order there every week, he then hung up on me. Atrocious behavior from this establishment,

Good solid bagel in Murray hill. Their bacon egg and cheese is as solid and reliable as they come, and is fairly priced and they are quite efficient. The bagel is on the fluffier side, definitely a little more dough compared to others but nothing wrong with that. Solid bagel spot in a solid location.

Disgusting! Hair in my bagel. ... never coming back!

Wednesday girl dinner is a must try. For $25, you get a martini, salad (Cesar or market), and fries…read more(truffle or regular). I got the market salad with grilled chicken which was very filling and packed with flavor. The grilled chicken was an add on so cost a little bit more than $25 but still an amazing deal. 10/10 recommend!

Think vintage wallpaper, little knick-knacks, and warm lighting. It's got character. I ordered the market salad with mixed greens, honeycrisp apples, goat cheese, candied pecans, and sherry vinaigrette. It was a hearty portion - super fresh and flavorful, and honestly more than I could finish (not a complaint!). I also ordered a Diet Pepsi with grenadine; they don't carry Diet Coke, which I almost docked a point for, but the mix was unexpectedly delicious. Highly recommend it. My date ordered the hanger steak and said it was absolutely amazing. Only hiccup: his first glass of wine he got came out hot... like, microwave-level warm. Fortunately, the server brought a new (cold) one and the rest of the meal was smooth sailing. Service was friendly, the vibe was homey and relaxed, and the food was solid across the board. Would definitely come back, especially for that salad and another round of grenadine magic.

After a weekend of rich, indulgent meals, we were looking for something a little more…read morestraightforward and comforting. We also wanted to try a classic pastrami on rye--but without committing to the long lines at Katz's Delicatessen. Sarge's ended up being the perfect alternative, just a quick five-minute walk from our hotel. We arrived around 5:00 pm on a Sunday and were seated right away, which already felt like a win. The meal started with coleslaw and both a half sour and full sour pickle--such a classic deli touch, and a great way to kick things off. I ordered the half sandwich with matzah ball soup, and the portion sizes were no joke. The soup alone could have been a full meal: a huge bowl with an equally massive matzah ball. The broth was warm and soothing, and the matzah ball was incredibly light with a perfect texture. The half pastrami on rye was just as impressive. Even "half" was stacked high with flavorful, tender pastrami. Adding a bit of mustard from the table brought everything together--it was simple, classic, and exactly what I was hoping for. Not only was it one of the more reasonably priced meals of the trip, but it was also genuinely satisfying. If you're looking for a no-fuss, traditional deli experience without the wait, Sarge's is a great option.

Service was so bad she deserved no tip whatsoever. On top of that, the food was overpriced and nowhere near worth the attitude. If you want REAL deli quality, good portions, and professional service, save yourself the frustration and go to Katz's instead. Night and day difference in both food and customer service.
