I call ahead of time for my bagels and they make them. It taste so good and they don't over toast the bagels and they are very polite. This is most definitely a staple for in the morning. read more

We came here on a Saturday morning and the place was packed. We ordered two bagels with cream cheese, OJ and iced coffee, which came out to $16 in total. The food was decent, nothing that would blow your socks off. read more

Bagel Shoppe - Bagels Near Me - Oakland Gardens, New York

This small local bagel shoppe packs a lot of lunch. I will admit I used to drive further for that well known Queens bagel, but this is practically in my backyard and such a solid, consistently tasty alternative. The bagels are all fresh with the usual varieties. The flat bagels are also solid. Cream cheese options include a really good, not overpowered with scallion, vegetable option and a standout jalapeño, which is the best around imho... The inside can get kind of packed on a busy weekend morning but the workers move quickly to get you in and out. read more

We opted for Bagel Shoppe because our usual place was under construction, and this location was closer. We came in the morning, and I was stunned by the line. There was a line almost to the door, and I waited nearly 25 minutes just to place my order. It seems like this place has been around for a while, but I haven't been to this side of Springfield much, so it was fairly new to me. However, since I only ordered bagels, I was able to get my order fairly quickly. On a side note, my relatives come here for the bagel special on Wednesdays, so despite the wait, the bagels are good and conveniently located near the bus stop. read more

Amazing egg salad on an everything bagel. Crunchy toasted exterior with a light and creaming egg salad interior. The store reminds of a classic NYC bagel deli. Many regulars come here to grab their breakfast before catching the bus to work. And the service is relatively quick. I'd love to come here and try their other selection. read more

By far the absolute best bagels I've ever had. It's an easy to miss spot in an unassuming part of town, but it is absolutely worth a trip here. I've been coming here since I was a kid, and it's still always my go to for a good bagel. Anyone I bring here is amazed at the quality, taste, freshness, and texture. It's 100% the perfect bagel. My go to is the Everything Bagel with Olive cream cheese. The everything bagel is perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of salt. They use green olives in the olive cream cheese, so you get that extra little bite of sour. But really, you can't go wrong with anything here. The plain with plain is always a good go to, their salt bagel is fantastic, and I'm a sucker for their cinnamon raisin too. Prices are super affordable, they pile on the cream cheese, and it's a true neighborhood place. The staff is great, and you really can't go wrong here. read more

Absolute garbage! This was the last straw! I ordered tuna w tomato.... Tomato missing. Ordered ham egg and cheese w salt pepper and ketchup.... Salt pepper and ketchup missing. They don't listen! Bagels not worth it, mediocre at best. There's other places that can handle an order of two items without messing BOTH up. I'm not going back! read more

The place is great everything is delicious but they charge you to make your bagel toasted! And find that absurd. Also the people behind the counter have definitely been better in years past not as friendly as they used to be. read more

The food is okay. The service is beyond horrible. I have been here many times and will never return to this place. The Hispanic woman working behind the counter has refused to serve me and kick me out twice with my service dog. This is disgusting behavior towards someone who needs their dog for PERSONAL reasons. read more

Owner operated for many years. Well staffed everything is fresh and delicious. Busy little place.

The bagel store has the best tasting bagels - made perfectly However, the place is swarmed with fleas. Literally, landing on the baskets of fresh bagels . The flys land on the customers shoulders & on the workers caps When I complained - I was instructed by the Asian manager to shop at neighboring bagel shops. What's worse - the customers continue to purchase flea covered bagels - so the shop does not worry about the extreme unsanitary conditions. Slims & Bell Diner - do NOT have flies & adhere to all sanitary & DOH regulations Be mindful read more

Have you ever heard of a bagel shop charging for toasting your bagel? Thats right, you heard me right! They will charge you for toasting your bagel. And food is not good either. read more

This local bagel spot def does it for me. It's a small and to the point kind of shop. You get there and you see they have a variety of fresh bagels and cream cheese. There is also a coffee station and a couple of other beverages in the fridge. This is not a place you go to sit on a Sunday morning for bagel and coffee. This place is ideal for a grab and go kind of breakfast. Finding parking can be a little annoying at times, but you'll find a spot if you're patient or drive around the corner. The coffee is decent and the prices are super reasonable. We paid $10 for 2 bagels with cream cheese, 1 plain bagel, and 2 coffee. That is such a steal for decent bagels! read more

Was at the doctors across the street and craving a bagel. Lo and behold! A bagel shoppe sign! It's easy to miss but there was a steady stream of people coming in and out and that's always a good sign. I got a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and a sausage egg and cheese on an everything. Both were delicious. Bagels were fresh and chewy in the middle. Service was fast as well even though there was a line of people. Overall a great little bagel shop! read more

Since moving to neighborhood I've been on the hunt for a great local breakfast spot and I've absolutely found it at the Bagel Shoppe! The staff is beyond friendly, the kitchen is fast as can be and most importantly the food is top notch! I look forward to eating here for years to come! read more

Bagel Shoppe - Cream cheese & lox on a sesame bagel. - Bagels Near Me - Oakland Gardens, New York

Each time I come back to NY to visit family and friends, there two things we have to get - pizza and bagels. This place has become our go-to for bagels even. Though there are a few that are closer to where we stay. It is an small, unassuming hole in the wall place but there is almost always line ( especially with social distancing) but the staff is quick and efficient so I never have to wait more than 5-10 mins for food and coffee. I've tried bagels with cream cheese and bagel breakfast sandwiches from here and it is consistently solid each time. They definitely do not skimp on the cream cheese, or any of the sandwich fillings. So worth it for the money! It's about $5 for breakfast sandwiches and $3 for the bagel with cream cheese. That's comparable to prices for breakfast at fast food places but the quality, flavor and freshness is so so much better! It's actually cheaper than most other bagel shops in the area and much bigger portions to. I look forward to coming here each time I go back to NY. read more

Just here picking up "2" bagels for my sweet mom-in-law. The lady in Jersey still loves her neighborhood bagel store. Bagels $1.00 each. Two sesame bagels on their way to New Jersey! Oops! Need cream cheese. Three stars for quick service and having the correct bagels. read more

Done! Give them more chances than deserved. Ask for bagel scooped, not scooped. As for fresh onions on sandwich and they sautéed them in. $0.50 to toast the bagel. Quick to charge to toast but skimp on cream cheese! Lady that works there is great as is manager but quality not good read more

Very fresh and tasty bagels. The eggs sangwich Is perfect every time. Go early to get them nice and hot. The workers there are nice and pleasant. Parking can be an issue since the block long bus stop. Would Recommend to any friend or foe read more

I loveee coming here. It's a neighborhood bagel shop. In the morning there is a line outside, that's how good it is. I also love that they are super careful and clean due to covid. Whenever I order a bagel with tuna, they give me tons of tuna and it comes with a free water or coffee and macaroni salad (or coleslaw). I also order ham and cheese and they give a good amount of meat. Yum! You can also call in advance and order your food. Another thing that is important about this place: they NEVER mess up your order :-) would recommend. read more

I've been coming here for many years and they have always been consistent. It's a small "hole on the wall" place, the best kind!!! They offer a nice variety of bagels and baked goods. The coffee is freshly brewed and is self serve. They give great customer service as well. read more

Once again the Bagel Shoppes top my list for all round excellent bagel's and the breakfast which I love to get a lot bagel,eggs,cheese &bacon all for a very reasonable price $5 and some change after tax.......Delicious. I say who go to a diner and pay 3x the amount for a product that simply doesn't compare.. There's lines outside every Sat & Sun...and for very good reason.... I always say this a bagel is a bagel is a bagel here though owner Jeff has an amazing staff to say the least... My newest favorite is Bethany such a wonderful worker smiles very pleasant even when she's slammed with customers... read more

Delicious bagels! These are really big, and the texture is fluffy yet chewy all at once. The perfect New York bagel. Highly recommended!

Best bagels in town for sure! The seasoned staff is on the ball and moves quickly. I know Jeff is hard at work training the younger staff and they will hopefully get it soon. Everyone is friendly and well mannered., and did I mention the bagels are great as is the coffee and salads. Never had anything that wasn't great! read more

Great selection of bagels, pumpernickel, sesame, honey wheat , everything, cinnamon raising, plain, great selction of flat bagels, bialy (onion are my favorite) but yes they have other flavors. Wed you can buy a dozen and get 6 free. Tuesday you can get bagels for 65 cents specialty bagels are a few cents more. Overall they stick to the basics when it comes to making a bagel the correct way, good ingredients, boil and baking fir true consistent quality. Best part is you can fresh bagels early in the morning! read more

Great bagels, convenient location....small shop and they set up table/register right at the door so you don't have to go far in...

Friendly staff and one of the best bacon & egg bagel sandwich I've ever had. Great local bagel spot.

Such tasty, plump bagels! Really fresh tasting egg salad, good cream cheese options and all your deli standards--what more do you need? Their COVID setup is great, not more than 1-2 at a time but they're super efficient so you're never waiting long! The guy working in front today was so friendly and knew what he was doing. Love this place! read more

this store will nickel and dime you to death i ordered a garlic bagel (toasted) they had the nerve to charge 75 cents to toast it! they have seen the last of me. i son't recommend this rip off place. i have gone to many bagel stores never was there a charge to toast a bagel, very greedy peOPLE read more

I'm glad this place is in my neighborhood. The owner is always around and he's a nice guy. Its a small place - so they tend to get overwhelmed if you order anything complicated; But - They bagels & the egg sandwiches are very good. I'm giving these guys 4 Stars - Because I feel its important for these businesses to be supported. read more

Must read review! I have been eating their bagels and bialys for years. Their bagels and bialys are great! I love their lite veggie cream cheese! If it was not for this they would have lower stars. Over the last year or so I have noticed a few things that really bother me. First thing is sometimes their homemade cream cheese don't last like they should. When i purchase it today, it should not be slightly moldy by tomorrow night. The biggest peeve I have with this place is their continued rising costs and the 2 of the guys who work there. I know the economy is bad and costs are rising, but their price hikes are crazy. 2 bagels and 2 coffees should not be $10, when oasis bagels it is less than $5, which is where I started going instead. Most of the guys who work there are really great and nice, but 2 of them, which I won't name or describe, charge prices according to who they like. Once I went there and some random person started talking to me and then they said to one of the guys "Hey be nice to this girl" next thing I knew the $10 I paid 2 days ago for the same stuff turned to $6. REALLY?!?! I also understand it is busy in the morning, but your "come'on" and huffs and puffs are not necessary. After that incident I have only been in there a handful of times. Someone should tell Jeff people are stealing from him. read more

One of the best bagel shops in the five boroughs, hands down. While this place occasionally gets crowded, usually around peak brunch hours, it's relatively unknown outside the areas of Oakland Gardens, Springfield Gardens and Hollis Hills. Thank goodness! The bagels always seem to be precisely baked and boiled, making for a superb, slightly crispy crust and a lovely, light and chewy middle. Whether you get an everything, while wheat or poppy, the bagels are always crafted to perfection. Having lived and worked in three boroughs, I've always been an aficionado of these circle-shaped pieces of heaven we call bagels (and bialys), but rarely have I encountered any that seriously challenged the quality of these. New York magazine once selected the bagel store on Horace Harding and Springfield Boulevard as one of the city's best, but locals know how good this place is and they're OK with having it under the radar. Years ago, this bagel place also put an Einstein Bros. Bagels out of business. (That location, across the street,is now a Dunkin Donuts and Baskin Robbins.) Their selection of loxes and cream cheese are solid, and excellent to-go coffee make it the perfect weekend morning stop. I could not love it more. read more

I am really surprised at these reviews!! I love this bagel shop. I don't care what they cost really... These bagels are delicious! So much variety and always fresh. I tend to get bagels with butter... So I can't comment on the rumored old-ness of the cream cheese everyone else is talking about. The cream cheese is pretty good though when I do have it. Really generous slab of cream cheese they put on too. Their specials are good. And the workers... Always sweet. I prefer this place over slims, since 4/5 times I get sick from slims bagels. read more

I've been going to this bagel shop since I was a kid, due to the fact that it is the closest to my house. I've gotten the same order almost every time: a toasted everything with lox spread. Sure, it's no H&H or Russ & Daughters, but its a fairly priced, generously portioned neighborhood bagel shop with good bagels and cream cheese. Sometimes I go for a lox and cream cheese here as well if I'm feeling hungry for a meatier sandwich. Their plain/lite regular cream cheese is pretty good, it's always airy (almost like a nougat). Ask them if any bagels are warm (aka just out of the oven) and get that with your favorite spread. I was lucky enough to get a fresh everything today! FYI, they are cash only, and their counter gets crowded in the mornings. read more
