Being born and raised in Brooklyn, Bay Ridge/Borough Park/ Sunset Park to be exact. Grew up on a good bagel and cream cheese throughout high school. Had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and since moving to Staten Island and new management at some other favorite bagel shops, this was a pretty delicious and well made bagel. They even had a little table at the front to enjoy your quick breakfast/lunch and keep it moving. Your usual prepared food/ bagel/ deli vibe. The staff is efficient and polite. Exactly what I wanted to satisfy my bagel craving. read more

First experience here was a good one. I just wanted a quick bagel before waking back home. I entered and paced my order for an everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was solid, not overly toasted, nor did try out too much cream cheese. Overall, I was pleased with everything here. I would return. read more

I discovered Bagel Villa through DoorDash, and have ordered from them a few times. It's the only place I've seen that offers a bagel with lox and cream cheese for under $15- a rare find in NY. Here, a bagel with lox and cream cheese is just a little over $10- it's not only a steal, it's delicious, too! The bagel is cooked perfectly and is a great size for breakfast. Super satisfying! I love their smoothies too- I've gotten the berry and the mango ones, and both hit the spot. Delivery is always very prompt from here as well. Definitely would recommend! read more

Great price point but totally average taste-wise. I was able to get a lox and cheese cheese bagel with onions and capers for a few dollars less than Bagel Boy or Bagel Pub (although Bagel Pub does pile on more lox on their sandwich). My brother got the even cheaper lox spread on a bagel which he liked. The rest of the food seemed like Boar's Head meat and cheese sandwiches which I have less than zero interest in so I would imagine myself coming back here solely because it's near my brother's apartment and is cheap. read more

Was really hoping this bagel joint would be great, considering the reviews, and the fact that they're one of the few bagel shops that got a great score from the Dept. of Health. I think the image I posted of the bagel I received speaks volumes. I asked for a bagel with extra cream cheese, and received a bagel that didn't even have, what would be considered a normal amount of cream cheese. My fiancee ordered cheese fries, which consisted of one melted Kraft single in the middle of a plate of fries. Tasted pretty much as it sounds. Pretty disappointing. Probably won't be returning. read more

I've been coming to Bagel Villa since it opened. It's always been my bagel and sandwich fix spot because many of the neighboring delis that serve cold cuts don't have that big of a meat selection. Also, it is down the block from me. What brings me back is that the workers are friendly, attentive, and welcoming. They'll listen to your requests and accommodate. Basically there's good customer service. I don't know what these other customers are saying but I've never had a bad experience. I haven't tried many things on their menu but I love their garlic bagels, bacon/or sausage eggs and cheese on a rolls/or croissant are very good. They're reasonably priced and moderate/inconsistent portion sizes. But if you want to add anything, know that you'll be charged. Nothing's free. My cousin loves their iced coffee. And they're quick. Now, here's why I had to knock out a point. Everything I said was the highlights and my experience most of the time. Every so often, my bagels came burnt, or my toasted rolls were cold. Sometimes there was barely any cream cheese or when I add bacon, it's a small shriveled up burnt piece. Other times, I felt like I had the greatest bagel of all time because there was a generous portion. There needs to be some quality control. Or check your food before leaving. Make sure it's right. read more

The people behind the counter are inconsistent with the service they provide and the breakfast sandwiches they dish out leaves much to be desired as well. During this visit, we decided to split a bacon egg and cheese with a friend and my half had one strip of bacon! LOL!! Quit being so cheap and maybe you'll earn more repeat customers like myself. :-) I don't really believe in ripping places apart (1 star reviews) as much as giving them another shot at winning my business over especially for neighborhood establishments.

I thought I would give this place a try because it was closer to where I happened to be. I got an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagel was pretty good, but not as good as my usual bagel place; the texture was a bit off. The scallion cream cheese was good and they also gave a good amount of it. Service was quick and prices are reasonable. Bagel Villa is a solid option for bagels and I wouldn't mind coming back for one and trying other cream cheese flavors! read more

My go-to bagel place since I moved to Bay Ridge. Always a friendly staff and quick to make orders. Coffee is pretty decent too. They always have a wide variety of bagels and treats, so I'm always finding what I'm looking for. My only complaint about this place is that I'm constantly ordering bacon egg and cheese with salt, pepper, and ketchup and they alwaaaaays forget the salt pepper ketchup. However, it's still super good without it. I just am always missing it. Not a huge deal, but definitely enough for me to get a tad frustrated about! I'll definitely be back.

My GOSH! I just had the perfect bagel. My go to spot was out of the way today since I went to do laundry on 5th. I must say, this place blew me out of the water with the size of their bagels and the perfect crisp to the outer part of the bagel. Depending on my mood, I either get a toasted sesame bagel scooped out with butter or the same bagel, scooped with scallion cream cheese. I opted to be a little adventurous today (it is laundry day after all) and go for the later. They scooped out the bagel perfectly and added the right amount of cream cheese. The toasting was perfection. Extra crisp on the outside while remaining soft on the inside. This place has to be a busy spot because they were low on bagels at the time we went (10:30 am) but they had what we needed. Their danishes looked legit too. Next time, I am definitely getting one. Their iced coffee was okay. I like bold coffees. You know, the type that shock you and make you have anxiety. Next time I will try their hot coffee. Their menu looked good too, especially for lunch. Eventually I will try this spot too. The facade of the establishment is a bit deceiving in the sense that it almost looks like a nail salon until you read the business name. Maybe its just me? Inside, the place is clean and there is limited seating. We just grabbed our stuff to go and ate at the laundromat, which worked out since our washers were done. Staff is very friendly and fast in an epic way!!! The price is right (cheaper than my go to place too!). Definitely pop in and give it a try. I think this is my new spot. read more

I chose this place because I had visited a few times in the past and expected a positive environment. While there, I ran into an old friend who was accompanying individuals with special needs. They informed us about the R&B karaoke event, and we attempted to participate respectfully and supportively. Unfortunately, after participating, the DJ became rude and dismissive. My friends decided not to continue because each time they attempted to request a song, the DJ was unkind and impatient, seemingly unaware--or unconcerned--that they were individuals with special needs. The situation escalated when I attempted to calmly address the disrespect. Instead of listening, the bartender repeatedly accused me of being drunk simply because I was defending myself after a rude comment. I was not intoxicated; I was advocating for respectful treatment. Even the DJ's own companion appeared visibly shocked by the comment made toward me, as if anticipating a reaction. I remained composed and professional despite being deeply upset. What disappointed me most was the staff's decision to defend the DJ's behavior rather than acknowledge how inappropriate and disrespectful the interaction was. This reflects poorly on how this establishment treats people--especially those who deserve patience, understanding, and dignity. I came expecting an enjoyable brunch experience and left feeling ashamed for having trusted this place. It is clear that the venue prioritizes protecting mediocre DJs with minimal local popularity over treating customers with basic respect. Poor organization, lack of proper event management, and unprofessional staff behavior made this experience unacceptable. I have visited many establishments and have never felt so disrespected. I will not be returning.

And when we charged the card, it was for Brooklyn Bathhouse. Not sure if they're all the same owner. Definitely want to come back for brunch or a happy hour. The service was so nice.

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
