I had a plain bagel with lox, onions, scallions, and tofu spread, which seems to be a cream cheese alternative. The bagel was perfectly toasted. I didn't even know a bagel could be perfectly toasted. There was a generous serving of lox, and the tofu spread was a bit runny. Overall, an excellent bagel and a great experience.

I ordered a toasted gluten free bagel with cream cheese and what I got was cold and pale. I took a bite and it was disgusting. Many gluten free bread products need to be toasted to be edible which is why I always get them toasted. My receipt said toasted. The bagel was pale and cold. And falling apart. A different bagel store refused to sell their gluten free bagels untoasted. At least they didn't give me food that I couldn't eat. I will not be going back to NYCB&CH anytime soon because that experience left a bad taste in my mouth...literally. But if I do I will make sure to check my bagel before I go.

Very solid NY bagel spot. This is a no frills bagel place, with limited bagel flavors and schmears…read more It's intended for take and go; there's nowhere to sit and eat, and they don't cut or prepare them for you. I wish I knew these things before I went, because I ended up scrambling trying to find a separate cafe to sit and eat at since it was raining. Luckily there was a boba spot down the street. All that being said, the bagels themselves were excellent. I got an everything, sesame and plain, with a green onion schmear. I was hesitant about the schmear because I don't actually like onions, but was told it's the most popular so I took a chance and was not disappointed. If your priority is high quality NY bagels, this is the spot. If you're looking for bagel sandwiches with other toppings and a place to sit and eat, this is not it.

I went with the cinnamon walnut situation on a sesame "low gluten" bagel & it hit the spot. My French vanilla iced coffee was decent as well.

Great bagel sandwiches (sausage egg & cheese was my favorite!) and their iced coffees were amazing! They serve them in plastic/metal sealed containers so they tend to stay cold longer. I tried 3 different coffees in 3 days and they were all great! Service can be a little slow at times because it gets CROWDED in the mornings, but I won't knock them for that. Also there is only a tiny area to sit but it's NYC so that is typical.

For it being our first time, we were a little confused with the ordering process, and they were so busy that it took a while to be acknowledged. There were kiosks to place the order, but we couldn't find a place to request special requirements, so we had to figure out how we could order at the register amongst the slew of other customers. Our order for 2 bacon egg and cheeses were called with a biscoff iced latte and we were excited at first. But when we opened the sandwiches our bacon was just 3, maybe 4 fatty pieces when we specifically asked for crispy bacon. My husband settled for his, but I requested a reorder where they corrected the bacon issue, and even put more slices. Besides that snafu, I was excited for my latte, but was also underwhelmed by the taste. I assumed since it was a biscoff cookie latte (which I love) that it would be sweeter... The establishment was nice, and there were so many selections, so we would give it another try before writing it off completely.
