Ok, remember that time I wrote that I would never go here again? Yeah, well (hanging head in shame), I did, damnit. So sue me. There are like 2 bagel shops in this neighborhood and I went for it again. Anyway, I'll say that for the past several times I've stopped in after the gym, they've gotten my order... correct. I'm not going to say anything more beyond that. P.S. - Today I got a pumpernickel instead of a pumpernickel everything, but at this point, how picky can you get? read more

Delicious bagels and a popular spot in Williamsburg on a Sunday morning. Service is quick though, so don't let the long line discourage you. They were out of mini bagels, so I got a regular sized Everything Bagel with Vegetable Cream Cheese. There are four stools by a counter at the front window, and we were lucky to get a seat to enjoy our breakfast. The bagel was super fresh and soft and chewy with a slight hint of sweetness that I enjoyed. It was not really toasted enough if you like it crispy, but I was fine with the softness of it. The cream cheese was your basic vegetable cream cheese, but the bagel was definitely the star of the show. I would definitely come back and have another bagel and try the whitefish or a sandwich with it next time. Prices are a bit on the steep side, but outside of that, it was a delicious breakfast and I will be back if I am in the neighborhood. read more

I forget how hipster Williamsburg is sometimes. To accommodate this population, there has to be a cute bagel place! I tried the #9 according to recommendation. Basically its a BLT in a bagel. It is good but nothing out the ordinary. Friendly staff though :) read more

I go to Bagelsmith at least once a week to get my bagel fix, and I have to say it is tasty. The service here is great and the staff is super friendly. They have a good variety of bagels, cream cheeses, sandwiches, and muffins to choose from. They also have good cream cheese, but their breakfast sandwiches blow their bagel and cream cheese combos out of the water. Go to Bagelsmith on a beautiful, sunny afternoon and enjoy your well-crafted bagel riverside at the East River State Park. Your day will go from mediocre to amazing in just a matter of minutes. read more

I was in New York for the first time in years and figured I needed to try a true New York bagel before I left. This was the best reviewed bagel shop in Williamsburg so I decided to give it a shot. Ordered an egg bagel with lite scallion cream cheese. Came out to around $3.50. Honestly, felt like I've even had bagels back in Los Angeles that were better. Bagel was as expected, nothing out of this world but still delicious. read more

Go to spot for people on the run. I prefer this place over the Bagel Store further down Bedford, it's too much of a nightmare over there. On the weekend it can become packed, but only b/c I'm usually here during the weekdays, I am served pretty fast. The guys working there know their stuff and are really down to earth and cool, and it's right there by the train so it's an easy around the corner. No more CC minimum and they are open 24 hours. read more

My best friend lives right above the place, so I do eat here frequently. The bagels are fresh all morning, and the croissants are delicious, as well the arrangement of sweets available. They have a large selection of cream cheeses and spreads, even for you vegan tofu eaters. Being a breakfast lover myself, I must include that I have been repeatedly disappointed by the egg sandwiches. Three out of five sandwiches are sloppily put together, with ingredients that hopefully you ordered. Make sure you speak up when ordering, as I have gotten the wrong sandwich after being asked my order several times. Also, remember to keep an eye out for who is on line to order, and who is on line to pay because when more that 5 people occupy this place it tends to move at a standstill. Open 24 hours, and always ready to serve up a BEC at the end of your night. Best bet for breakfast, walk outside... make a left... go to Northside Deli on the corner of N6th. Meat Lover Secret Tip: Wait until "Doner" (turkish place next door) opens back up this summer, and make the two stops to construct your own Lamb, Egg and Cheese on a croissant. Perfect at 4am. read more

I've been a loyal customer to Bagelsmith for the past five years. The bagels are always fresh and delicious. Always. I love the sesame bagels with sausage, egg, and jack cheese or the whitefish. I also love the variety of cream cheese and fresh veggie accompaniments. I've had brunch catered by them, and everyone of my guests raved about the food. I'm addicted to their hazelnut coffee. My husband thought I was crazy when I told him my day was not the same if I missed it. But then he started drinking it, and became addicted too! The hazelnut flavor does not have that artificial additive taste. Instead, it's a subtle infusion mixed with the roasted beans. And it doesn't make me wired and shaky, just gives me the right boost to start my day. They do get really busy at times, and the standing room becomes tight, but it's worth the hassel. The owners are really nice, hardworking people, who truly care about satisfied customers. Since I've been going there for so often, I've gotten to know a lot of the staff on a first name basis, and they always aim to please. There have been a few times in the past five years where my order was wrong, but as soon as I mentioned it, the staff apologetically fixed it, and depending on the glitch, have even given me a free meal upon my next order. Bagelsmith, you guys are the best. Thank you!! read more

Just walked out $8 lighter for a bagel with one slice of salmon...a rip off to say the least. I hope I was unlucky and this was a one off. Other notes: great decor, cute hole in the wall, good location, quality selection of ingredients. read more

This review is for the catering services. My mom had coordinated for my after wedding brunch to be catered by Bagelsmith. She went back and forth with the manager, Christine, and was pleasantly surprised at how pleasant and accommodating the service was. We were happy. Unfortunately, my mother had a significant health issue during my wedding reception. She was admitted to the hospital on my wedding night, and we were forced to cancel the brunch just a few hours before the event. Christine could not have been more understanding. They had been planning on an order for 100 people, and we were unable to take it. We offered to pay full price, despite the fact that we couldn't use the food anymore, but were told no way. In fact, Christine offered to deliver food to the hospital if we needed anything. This response was beyond touching, and was so, so extremely kind. I was so thankful to not have to worry about the breakfast delivery, while juggling the reaction from all of our guests and my mom being in the hospital. Thank you, Christine! And thank you, Bagelsmith. We were already customers and will continue to be based on this experience. Support nice people. read more

In the mood for a decent bagel with lox, my friend and dropped by Bagelsmith yesterday. As such, I can attest that their bagels are solid, and the cream cheese, lox, tomato, and onion sandwich hits the spot! read more

Decent coffee, quick service, $1 bagels, good selection of cream Cheese and egg-type sandwiches and they take credit cards! Win-win! The cafe Down the street wanted $3.25 for a Bagel, cash only. Can't beat this place For a quick morning stop! read more

I love bagels and am therefore always looking for fabulous bagel shops to satisfy my deep craving for pillowy carbs. Bagelsmith is really just your average bagel shop, but since it's in the heart of Williamsburg they charge ridiculous Manhattan prices. It's $15 for a dozen, not bakers dozen, just an even twelve. I like to buy my bagels in bulk, so this is definitely not my first choice for bagel shopping. I really like how convenient this location is, as it is right next to the Bedford Av stop. Despite the convenience I would rather buy excellent bagels rather than ones that are just 'fine." These bagels are pretty dense instead of fluffy and the crust is too soft. As you can tell, I'm very particular with my bagels. They've got an alright selection, but none of the more adventurous flavors. They serve up a traditional, simple bagel that's really just fine. read more

great fresh bagels with a lot of add on choices. I liked especially their bagel chips. They also have a vegan special. read more

Good bagels, lots of options Bagels are delicious - chewy, a bit sweet, crusty outside, as good as a bagel should be. There are numerous toppings, from various cream cheeses to many flavors of tofu, salads and deli cuts. There is also coffee and several types of pastries. The size of a regular bagel is actually quite large, it is enough to be a meal on its own with added toppings. Occasionally I opt for the mini bagels - they are somewhat smaller (but no means actually 'mini') and more manageable if you do not have a big appetite. Should you opt for a custom bagel with fillings as most people do, be certain to check the content (as messy as it sounds) before leaving the store. The kitchen used to make a lot of errors but as of late 2015 seems to have improved, the owner is making an effort to avoid screw ups. Nevertheless, given the high number of mistakes in the past I suggest checking your filling before leaving the store to avoid unpleasant surprises. Enjoy diligently. read more

The food was good, nothing special, most notably the staff has been awful to me. I have been here a few times now and the last two times I went in I was mocked and laughed at for ordering a kind of tofu cream cheese. It felt homophobic and that is so horribly wrong, especially in this neighborhood. Why would you make fun of someone for ordering something from your own menu?? Save your money and go somewhere else with staff that isn't judgmental and rude! read more

There is nothing better (well okay maybe a lot of things...but whatever) than being able to get a decent bagel at all hours of the night. Lots of varieties of bagels and cream cheese (mmmm olive...) including whole wheat, vegan, etc. Deli sandwiches as well, although I've only tried the bagels. read more

Just went to bagel smith and ordered a cream cheese bagel with 3 of my friends. We ended up waiting 15 minutes for our bagels as they served every single person in the place before us including people that came in after. We ordered toasted bagels and they were not toasted, we also ordered bacon and the portion of bacon on the bagel was half an inch. I also proceeded to find a hair in my bagel. Extremely unsatisfied and slightly sickened. read more

Bagelsmith - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Perfect late night spot. Good quality bagels. Quick and friendly service. Wide variety of snacks and drinks. Diverse menu.

Husband and I both ordered the vegan special, literally waited 20 minutes for the team to make every other bacon egg and cheese, lox smear, etc because they were easier to construct than our freshly cut avocado (of which I found multiple pieces of the inedible shell). I expected slow service, but I'm pregnant and watched the entire shop empty out before we got our bagels and I was beginning to feel faint. Not fun. Not going back. In response to Anthony, the owner. It had in fact been everyone after me in the line that had been served first. The order of the queue was completely disregarded. The entire shop had practically been emptied out by the time my order was addressed- and this included people who had ordered well after me. read more

Best bagel I ever had with the best tasting bacon cream cheese. I'm from Hawaii, so we don't really have great bagels like NYC. This was the first place I went to eat something after getting off the plane. I'm glad that my first food item I bought was delicious! Reasonable prices, friendly staff, and quick service. read more

11 am 4/10/19 total kaos. Orders all wrong. Orders given to wrong customers, opened then, passed to right customer. Over charged credit cards. Workers walking all over one another. Two Bagels with Cream Cheese and two coffees should not have me waiting 20 plus minutes. Coffee and Bagels are quit pricey. First and Last Tme. They don't even acknowledge the kaos or inconvenience to thier customers. read more

Being an honest sort and having promised to bring my co-workers back some bagels from my trip to New York City in November, I was faced with a dilemma. I had spent the fleeting moments of my trip in Williamsburg at the Flea and didn't have time to drive to a (still) Jewish neighborhood for my holed treats. Luckily, this little hipster place fit the bill of a real New York bagel shop nicely. And since bagels are an even $1 a piece, I wasn't even slowed down in my quest by having to do difficult math! And what bagels they are! Huge doughy, filling bagels of all flavors. I brought back a variety to work and when I came to collect them at the end of my first day back, I found cut in carnage in the bag from multiple people who were afraid they couldn't finish the whole thing. My only beef is that they ran out of salt bagels on the day that I went to purchase them. And I'm sure they would have been amazing. Also, since it was the end of a trip to New York City, I was running a bit low on cash and I would have loved them to take credit cards. But even with these slight flaws, I'd go back here as a quick choice for bagels in the borough (it's right near the BQE if someone needs a quick getaway). But I'd go earlier in the day to ensure myself a (I'm sure) delicious salt bagel. read more

This is my go to spot! when I've been out drinking with friends and need a late night snack to avoid in the hangover I am sure to have. huge variety. a little pricey but worth it. read more

Been coming to this Bagelsmith for 3 years. Everyone's always nice and efficient. I go through different phases of favorites, but my current is not one of the custom cream cheeses, but rather a pumpernickel BLT. YUM. Love that they take credit card, no minimum. It's always an added treat to grab some of the fresh squeezed OJ in the mornings too! read more

Bagels at Bagelsmith are divine - you really can't go wrong with any of the cream cheese spreads and bagel options. I had a whole wheat everything bagel with lox and scallion cream cheese and all the fixins (tomatoes, capers, red onions). It totally hit the spot for an on-the-go breakfast/brunch. We were stuffed afterward, but luckily we could slowly meander through Bedford and pretend like we were window shopping during our food coma. Looking forward to getting delivery for all my future hangover mornings! read more

Went to try this place got the first time and was very excited as I heard great reviews. Was very disappointed that none of the employees were wearing masks. There are multiple signs throughout the place stating masks are mandatory. I asked the woman working at the front to put a mask on and she started at me like I was crazy. As a nurse in nyc who has seen the worst of covid from the frontlines, this really bothered me. Put on a damn mask! read more

This place is way too expensive and when i got my sandwich "toasted" it was cold and not toasted at all. 13$ for a sandwich that is something i could make at home. Not good. read more

I don't know what they've been feeding us in the south but my definition of bagel definitely changed after bagelsmith. Perfect combination of soft and chewy with a bangin' selection of cream cheeses. I had the breakfast sandwich with egg, sprouts, tomato and sundried tomato tofu spread. It was fantastic. The sandwich plus a mini black and white cookie set me back about $7. read more

Bagelsmith - The breakfast sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Bagels are fine. I always get lox and they always put such a small amount. The woman in the front/cashier is literally so miserable, and rude for zero reason. I'm giving two stars instead of one because of the sub par bagels and the younger Latino man that was friendly yesterday. He was a breath of fresh air from the three or four times I've been to this place. read more

I've been going to Bagelsmith for 15 years, and it has always been great. HOWEVER, recently things have taken a turn. Seems that the woman who managed the place is gone, and it's very obvious: 1. I ordered a dozen bagels, and gave the person a handwritten list of the bagels I wanted. The order was wrong--very wrong. I sent it back, and had them "fix" it. Didn't check again, but should have because it was still wrong. Staff doesn't seem to know the difference between a poppy seed and sesame seed bagel. 2. The store is almost consistently out of plain bagels on the weekends. 3. I ordered a ham and swiss on a bagel, and it was $11!!!! I questioned it, but was told that's how much it was. I've always paid around $7. I later noticed that if I had ordered ham, cream cheese and tomato from the menu that is posted, the sandwich would have been $6.50. The bagels are still good, but something has happened to make the experience drastically different. read more

God, I always want to hate this place. However, it's hard to tear yourself away from a good bagel shop that has what you need, and you can get in and out of fairly quickly. They have a wide array of bagels and spreads. It's Williamsburg, so if you need your non-dairy double-tofu lox cream cheese, then this is the place for you. I'm a plain bagel with cream cheese kind of guy, so I'm easily satisfied by their selection. My only complaint, and it's probably due to the usual rush hour scene there, but the staff aren't always the most delightful people to deal with. There are good days and exceptions to the rule even on the rush hour days, but I've walked out of this place more than just a few times wanting to throw my bagel at the cashier, or the girl who takes the coffee/tea order and just can't ever seem to get it right. Tip: Know what you want when you get there if it's busy. You can ask questions, but I'd refrain from doing so. Their job is to get you in, and get you out. Be explicit with what you want, and you shouldn't have any problems. Other than that . . splendid. Again, great bagel and spread selection, and usually pretty rapid okay service. Enjoy. read more

This is my favorite overall bagel place in New York. There are bagels out there that are bigger, have more deli options and spreads, and have more space to sit....BUT Bagel Smith is CLUTCH in dire times of need. There spread selections are above average and they always have bagels even at like 4 AM...because being open 24/7 is amazing. Why wait in line for nasty overpriced topping pizza when a bagel is cheaper and more delicious ;) The bagels are just as delicious at normal hours too, and they sell some other day old goods like croissants and such. Most of all NO LIMIT FOR CREDIT--in New York that is unheard of. This place is just totally all-purpose awesome. read more

Forget the brunch crowds and lines and waits for fancy food, sometimes you just want instant morning food gratification. You want a BAGEL. And there's nothing better than an egg poppy toasted with butter... mmmm. Or a pumpernickel with bacon scallion cream cheese. Worth the 20 minute walk. I just wish they had more seating than those 4 window stools. When this place is too crowded sometimes I'll walk to The Bagel Store just to have a place to sit and eat. They don't even compare. The Bagel Store's offerings are too heavy and bready. I want light hot doughiness, please. I want my Bagelsmith. I pout on those days. Lucky for me, they are open 24/7. So do I ever grab a bagel for dinner, like on my way back from the gym? .... maybe. read more

I'm not a Williamsburg-er. I'm far from it. Venturing home from my boy's apartment one afternoon, I unknowingly walked by Bagelsmith, and couldn't resist the smell of freshly baked bagels. This may be because I live next to a BagelStix, but this smelled like something special. Anyway, their bagel did not disappoint. I ordered my bagel- and picked from their display of various spreads- and was happily presented with a nice and fat, freshly baked everything bagel with sundried tomato basil tofu cream cheese- and it made me happy. I loved that you can see the handrolled crevices in the bagels, that they are hot and toasty, and that their cream cheese spreads are absolutely delicious. I normally fear tofu cream cheese for that funky "off" taste, but this was completely satisfying- the basil was a nice touch as well. Tis a lovely bagel for a lovely sunny day. read more

Delicious. Cheap. Quick. FRESH and RIPE avocado. AND open 24 hours? Done. read more

Jalapeno schmear. Why oh why don't I live in New York!?!?! I got a mini bagel, which was pretty satisfying. So chewy and dense, my eyes rolled back as I enjoyed every bite. AHHHHh If ever I return to NY, I shall go back here. read more

Making my way through Sietsema's list of black and white cookies so dropped by. Bagelsmith's are smaller, but I really dig them, the cookie base is a lot like the base of a Jaffa cake. They're only 75c each so buy many. read more

I went to this bagel shop in March and now that I am going back to Brooklyn on Wednesday this place is first on my list. I loved the tofu cream cheese and everything bagel, I can still taste it. It was absolutely perfect. YAS read more

This place is a really small neighborhood joint. Judging by the staff calling customers by their names, there's a ton of regulars that come here. Bagels were really good fresh (as opposed to toasted) and I would definitely recommend! read more
