Every flavor you could want! Nothing overly fancy with sandwiches and basic coffee, but the bagels and the cream cheese schmears were exceptional!

I was impressed with the extensive smoked fish section. Would try one of those next time! Small but efficient. Lots to see and smell in here. Couple of tables, but would recommend grabbing to go. Hot coffee was a nice accompaniment, and they have an eclectic assortment of common convenience items as well as a beverage fridge!

Modern Bread and Bagel is a playground if you have celiac. All of my panic over crumbs, gloves and…read morehands melts away as I remind myself it's ok, the gluten is not welcome in this space. I feel a wash of overwhelm when I get to decide from an entire menu. Call is cheese ball, but I literally get teary eyed here. I have to wait extraordinary amounts of time for a true deep fried donut since gf donuts are usually baked for convenience. The strawberry donut is an absolute magical experience for me. It's the top of my to do list when I come into manhattan with my family. I fell a bit healed inside of all the BS limitations of celiac and I just get to enjoy a donut that feels like a treat and doesn't taste like a work around. Modern Bread and Bagel makes me feel seen. I can't say the bagels are the same as the gluten alternatives, but they are damn good, the baked goods are superb. No, I am not sharing a bite, this is my self care. If you have celiac buy a plane ticket and try the strawberry donut. Worth the trip.

Not really a sit and eat spot, not the nicest inside but they come through with their food. Staff were mostly helpful and friendly, albeit a bit abrasive and rushing.

On my first visit I had the Smoked & Savory sandwich on an everything bagel (I was really in the…read moremood for whitefish). The sandwich is unlike any I've ever had. They put mustard, pickled peppers and pickled cucumbers. I'm really curious as to why the mustard is added. The mustard is very good but it overpowered the whitefish (maybe the employee making my sandwich put too much on?). The bagel and mustard together felt like I was eating a pretzel with mustard. The whitefish was good but again lost amongst all the other ingredients. The packaging they use is different. The sandwich was wrapped and placed standing up on a box. It wasn't so easy to wrap and put back in what I didn't finish. I also had to try the pastries. I had a muffin and shashoka bureka. The muffin was really good but didn't need the cheese filling. It was too much and caused half the inside of the muffin to be hollow. There are a few tables inside and out. There are also stools at the windows

This Family Owned Jewish Deli opened in 1908 and then moved to its present location in 1929, Barney…read moreGreengrass directs its focus on traditional Baltic style smoked fish, like Lox, Herring, Sable, & White Fish. It has only one store, which is found on Amsterdam Avenue on the Upper West Side of New York City, - and it has changed very little over the past 120+ years. Most famous for its Smoked Fish, especially its Smoked Sturgeon, Barney Greengrass has an extensive menu along this line, offering mostly cured fish items, either in sliced form, or as smoked fish salads. However there is a small list of meat sandwiches that are offered as well, making Barney Greengrass yet another great Jewish Deli in NYC that is NOT Kosher. During my numerous visit between 1976 and 1999, the service at Barney Greengrass has always been friendly and informative. It made me feel like I was a regular here, even during my fist visit. I always make sure to get one the platters, which can be any combination of three smoked fish items. Usually select the Sturgeon, the Nova, and the White Fish, which comes two Bagels. I found it good to get a large of their amazing Borscht as well, as a refreshing pallet cleanser. And just to mix things up a bit, I once slit a Pastrami Sandwich, whish was on the small side for an NYC Deli, but was delicious that it was well worth price. Other items of is their Pickled Herring Salad, their White Fish Salad, and especially their Latkes (potato pancakes). I love fish, thus Barney Greengrass has become one of my favorite Delis in America. Yum!

if you are chasing that old New York ambiance, come here (& bring multiple wallets)…read more- the old wallpaper, large deli, & intense waitstaff create a historic Jewish deli energy. the food is just as exciting. - the lox is delicious, perfectly smoky & salty. the rumors are true that all the best dishes here revolve around their fish. the bagel was crispy on the outside and the tomato's were perfectly ripe. the cream cheese potion was a tad less than I'd like but allowed the fish to do the work - the waiter dramatically encouraged us to get latkes...which he then forgot to bring. we ended up flagging him down at the end of the meal & they were brought over. huge chunks with a crispy exterior. definitely different than any latkes I've had before! - the biggest con is the price tag. I got the class bagel with lox and spent almost $40. if that is what it takes to keep historic institutions around, I'll do it, just not as often as I'd like to

But, going at around 11, there are more opportunities for getting a table. Also, people in NYC are open to sharing tables, so you can always ask to sit if there is an open seat. Now to the bagels...this place rocks! We ate here every damn day. The poppy seed w locks was our favorite. The kids liked the plain cream Cheese bagel. One day I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese bagel, which I love under any other circumstances, but the quality of their cream cheese is out of this world, so I dont think I would get the bacon, egg and cheese again. Only down side is that this place can get pricy very fast. If you add drinks and cookies/cakes you're looking at $60-70 dollars. Best practice is to bring your drinks w you and dont buy the sweets.

I love being able to watch them make them as well. Great service always. The interior is small (only 2 or so tables) so take them to go. The salt bagel is my personal favorite (best salt bagel I've tried!!) but the everything bagel is also top tier. Great mix of cream cheese flavors. You have to at least buy 3 but I can eat 3 so that's okay lol (They don't keep great imo so better to eat them day of!)

The staff is super friendly and keeps the vibe fun and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. And if you're lucky...you might even score a freebie. Gotta love that.

It's definitely a convenient spot no matter the time of day. The menu has a little bit of everything such as pastries, coffee, tea, sandwiches, salads, soups and even gluten free options. They also serve beer and wine, which I wasn't expecting. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is nice. The setup is mostly DIY since you throw away your own garbage and etc. But they do bring your food and drinks out to you. They also have a restroom for customers and a self serve tap water station with glasses, which I appreciated. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It was alright, but I do think it could've used a little more flavor or seasoning.

For those that can have nuts, I've heard only great things about the chocolate chip walnut, and for the deranged who like to contaminate their cookies with raisins, you'll probably love their oatmeal raisin edition. These cookies are dense but with the finest crumb. They are served warm and are gooey and soft on the inside. Eating one is more like six regular sized cookies, so pace yourself and take caution to avoid a carb coma.
