    Traveled all the way from Miami for the best bagels in ny. I wish I bought a dozen back but didn't have room in my suitcase . The egg bagel with lox and all the fixings was perfect. Crispy on the outside soft and chewy on the inside. Perfect. A must. Quick service. No frills ambiance. You feel transported to simpler times here. Loved every second of it.

    This big boy weighs 7.55oz!! That's 2.5oz larger than its competitors! Each bagel is $1.45. I came in at 7am and there were no lines. The bagel itself was a bit of a letdown. The first untoasted bite proved that the bagel was dense, but it doesn't have an airy bite. The bagel is generously topped with seasoning but not quite salty enough. Due to its hefty size, the inside was really dry. Not the worst bagel and not the best bagel I've had. Definitely worth the price considering its size.

    Good coffee. I stop here to pick up breakfast. I was staying in the neighborhood for a few days and chose this spot. Breakfast was a typical fast moving New York classic. Live, love and laugh -Sha

    Beautiful and tasty egg everything bagel with lox spread!

    I've actually never dined in here (have always taken orders to go), nor have I ordered the coffee, pastries, or any extras. This review is specifically for the bagels and spreads. This place is really AWESOME! With the many bagel places here in Astoria, it's very easy to feel overwhelmed with all of the available choices. Well, look no further! Bagels and Brew has what I think are the perfect bagels with cream cheese spreads that actually taste like cream cheese. I know that probably sounds weird, but the cream cheese tastes very fresh when compared to other places in the neighborhood, right? Or am I the only one who feels that way? It's so hard to explain. Anyway, along with the awesome bagels and spreads, the service is also quite good. Quick, efficient. I'm almost never in there for longer than just a few minutes. The guy who works the register is very friendly and pleasant. Bagels and Brew is actually a little bit of a trek from my apartment over here on 30th Ave, but that's more than fine with me. I don't mind walking about 20 minutes to get an amazing bagel. That's how good these are!

    This is my go-to seamless delivery option for my morning breakfast. Usually I go to another spot for takeout if I'm out and about, but when I want to order breakfast in bed or it's too cold to go out - I go straight here without even questioning other options. They have a pretty large selection of items - I usually go with a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a bagel. The bagels overall are maybe a 3.5 compared to other bagels, but I'm more of a breakfast sandwich person anyways. If I want just a bagel with spread I'd go to my takeout spot. The delivery is also on point and in the year and a half I've been ordering from this place, it's never been more than 40 mins and no issues. A great place to add to your seamless queue.

I ordered the Worth It Bagel ($16.75), which is their lox bagel with all the works although I skipped the capers on mine. My bagel was ready within minutes and I was on my way. The bagel is hefty and was enough for two meals. They also spread a good amount of cream cheese from both sides sandwiching the lox, onions and tomatoes. This is a delicious bagel amongst so many bagel spots in NYC. It's too bad their locations are not the most convenient for me, but definitely would recommend if you're in the area.

They gave a generous serving of the lox, and it went well with the cream cheese and everything bagel. The bagel was a bit too crispy in my opinion, but the overall bagel sandwich was quite good as all the ingredients went well with each other. Compared to the top bagels in the city, Utopia is a bit lacking, but still very solid. There's very few bagel spots in LIC, so this is a great addition to the area. Overall, I would recommend this place if you live in LIC and want bagels but don't want to travel into Manhattan.

They have stood the test (or taste) of time because of their delicious, freshly baked bagels. They have the perfect combination of a soft chewy texture on the inside and a wonderful crisp crust on the outside. There's so many options when it comes to what type of bagel to order, it's hard to decide because they're all so good. There is also a large variety cream cheeses, which are all made on the premises. You can't go wrong with the lox bagel - plentiful, flavorful lox, cream cheese and capers. I love their chicken salad. It's always so fresh, tasty and it doesn't have too much mayonnaise. The staff is friendly and attentive. The coffee is good and it's a perfect way to start your day!

They've done such an outstanding job across the board (customer service, price, food, etc.) that I am constantly thinking about going back. Located on the constantly busy (#2) 30th Ave, one wouldn't notice this place as being any different from any other bagel shop. There's hardly any seating but a steady stream of customers all throughout the day. The NSFW signage (#3) keeps the place fresh and interesting, if not extremely memorable. The first thing that is offered (and often complimentary) is their fried rice balls, dubbed "Ben's Balls" that are mixed with seasoned rice, kimchi, topped with a gochujang mayo that would wake up any sleepyhead. Each bite had a nice crunch, but the lingering effect of the kimchi makes it addicting. It is the ultimate complementary snack, a desired, potluck item, and frankly genius. This is not something I would ever consider getting out a bagel shop, but having had them I would gladly buy them by the dozens. Most folks are here for the Seoul Meets Bagel (SMB) and rightfully so: it's layered with chopped bulgogi meat, cheese, egg, kimchi, topped with gochujang mayo and is packed with flavor. While the dank ass pork sandwich is a crude name, but it's not hard to see why it's one of their best sellers. Their regular bagels are also excellent. Folks who are expecting a large variety of cream cheese may find it disappointing that there's only a handful in the display, but they do have lox, bacon scallion, tofu cream cheese, and some flavored cream cheese. For what it's worth, my toasted everything bagel with lox was fabulous. It was pillowy soft, nicely toasted, and extremely filling. Offering Korean savory bagels wouldn't be complete without actual Korean fare, which is also a part of their larger than expected menu. It includes items such as Korean fried chicken, kimbap, pajeon (various), bibimbap, kalbi, ramyum, and mandoo. This is in addition to the burgers, breakfast platters and sandwiches, and a number of pastries. The staff is mostly Spanish and English speaking, in addition to the owner Ben who brings Korean to the table. Prices are very reasonable for Astoria and I'm hoping they continue to stay that way. This spot is the ultimate neighborhood spot and I'm insanely jealous of all the residents in the area that get to enjoy this on the regular. ___________ (#1) Why mess with something that doesn't need changing? Oh, because palate + innovation. (#2) And incredibly gentrified. (#3) One sign reads: "My happy place is when I tell people to .... FU, KMA, MF, STFU, SOB, SMD." Oh how New York.
