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

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

One of the best bagel shops hands down. The consistency of the flavor throughout the bagel is known through your every bite, leaving you craving more Bagelsmith! Definitely try the everything bagel when you're there, you won't be disappointed read more

Gave my order and the forgot about it. Waited 25 minutes for 2 egg sandwich's. Then I get an attitude for getting a little upset about waiting and getting forgotten about. Avoid this place. read more

Small retail front and ring up average $10 per minute. Wide variety of fresh made bagels & spreads, ordered "Everything Bagel with Bacon & Scallion Creamcheese" & "Plain with Strawberry Tofu spread" + a large coffee & a bottle of water = $9.80. The bagels is mildly chewy and fresh. With toasting, it adds another crispyness on top of the chewy texture. The bacon & scallion spreads is a new twist for bagel shop and the spread goes well together. The lighter berry yogurt tofu is just as good with the plain bagel. This place can get crowded in a minute . After you ordered, you have to remind the cashier of your order. Not expensive, inline with most bagel shop. read more

The lox tofu spread was surprisingly delicious. The bagels weren't as big as I've had other places but they were nice and chewy on the inside, toasted and warm on the outside. The service was friendly too; they put up with my indecisiveness with a smile. The americano wasn't the best, not bad but not the best, but it's a bagel place, not a coffee spot. I'll definitely be back, maybe for lunch today. 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

I get it, 615am But after asking 7 times to repeat 4 bagel orders, we aren't sailing smoothly Reviewing their menu on the wall, I saw they did a Western Omelette, that reads "ham, peppers, onions and cheese. Standard. I would assume they have in their possession all of these items, since you have this on your wall. Asking for a simple peppers and onions on an egg and cheese seems pretty standard for breakfast places. But they looked at me like I was asking for a foreign off hand beef No, we don't have peppers. All we have are the ingredients in this one sandwich special. I don't even know what's on that menu. Asks the woman cooking everything, she says, ummmm, no peppers. So you don't have peppers that go on the Western that you feature? Annoyingly, she recognizes what I was showing to them, that they offer it in a sandwich. "No, but I can give you jalapeño peppers" Because that's the same This is not a small deli that barely does beak fast. Great attitude. I am much more appreciative of the stoned forgetful guy at the counter than the angry cook. Oh and as 17 minutes go by, we only get 3 of the sandwiches because they forgot the 4th one Not coming back Wish I went to the deli across the street. Regretful place from this experience read more

I love this place, i really do. The bagels are five star fantastic. But every time I ask a fellow customer where the line is, everyone is so freaking pissy -- it reminds me of the stereotype on New Yorkers being jerks. They are all jerks in this place. The staff is always off the charts nice, I don't get why ppl who go there suck so badly. Maybe if the staff gave an occasional shout out on where the line is people wouldn't be such jerks in there. read more

Bagelsmith - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I normally go to Baker's Dozen in GP (best bagels around, hands down), but I have come here on three occasions after getting off the L. The first two times, I got a simply toasted sesame with plain cream cheese. I have to say the bagels just did not taste all that fresh, and were quite small. They had a chewiness to them that reminded me day old bagels. I think this is more the style/method they prepare the bagels, not that they were actually day old (or at least I hope not). My most recent and most definitely last time here, it was a travesty. Let me tell you about it... Imagine you had a somewhat sleepless night. You've commuted already about 45 minutes through rush hour, and all you can think about is just a fat bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. Mouth watering, walking through sweltering subway station after subway station, taking transfer after transfer, only to emerge from the subway station into the searing summer sun. Although you want to go to your regular haunt, your eyes fall onto a hand rolled, fresh bagel shop just 15 feet away. It was OK two times you have been, and you weigh out your options: walk 20 minutes to get your fix or just bite the bullet and go to the OK place. You being the slave to your desires that you are, you cannot resist the hunger. You go to wait on line, it's about 9 people long. You place your order, and you are all standing there. The line does not seem to be moving, no one knows why. You look ahead quizzically. The cashier and a customer are exchanging words and money, but for some reason there is no movement forward. You are stuck in line limbo. No one likes line limbo. You notice those around you are likewise antsy. All of a sudden you see your bagel has been prepared, sitting in a bad next to cashier. Yet still about 5 bodies separate you from your prized possession. Your perfectly prepared pouch of provisions. Yet you cannot attain it, but is OK as the result is inevitable. You will consume it. Finally it is your turn, you exchange your money, you do not care that it took you 10 minutes to walk 5 feet, it is goddamn bacon egg n cheese time. The sandwich is finally in your possession. You wait, though, until you get to the park. You want to relax while eating, you want to enjoy this scintillating savory snacks while sitting on a shaded bench. At the park, you gleefully unwrap your bacon, egg, and cheese. You are immediately hit with the sweet aroma of bacon with subtle hints of egg and dough. Salivating you take a monstrous bite, and with each chew you realize something is amiss. Wait...it can't be...is this...is this a whole wheat bagel?? As a carb lover--as a TRUE carb lover--you know that whole wheat anything is never as good as its regular counterpart. Pizza, bagel, bread, you name it. Dejected you look at the sandwich. It is a sad sandwich without a shine, there is no glow to it anymore. You become disillusioned, but you are still hungry so you eat on. With each bite your hunger decreased but your resentment grows. Why, why have the bagel Gods frowned upon you? Suddenly you realize it is because you rejected the true bagel shop, you have strayed from the right path and you flirted with the false bagel finaglers. You seek repentance and swear that you will only patronize the purveyors of perfectly prepared bagels. You have learned your lesson and you will spread the word. read more

Have given them a few tries. I've ordered the same thing (toasted bagel with cream cheese), and EVERY time they didn't toast the bagel. I don't like untoasted bagels, too chewy. And I can see it's written on the order slip, so where's the disconnect? read more

New York is supposed to be known for the bagels...where are these amazing bagels? No bagel in NYC is yet to beat the Noah's Bagels in California, and it's a chain!!! Bagel Smith has ok bagels but a good variety. Any kind of cream cheese that you can think of they have. It also helps that they have a good selection of coffee (including an iced hazelnut coffee $2.50 for a medium size). Nothing has tasted spectacular but it'll do the job of a bagel with cream cheese. The one thing I'd like to point out - watch how they make your bagels. I have been here twice and both times they have no only gotten the cream cheese wrong but also the bagel and they forgot to put tomatoes in the order. However, when they'd bring the order to the counter they'd recite the right order. WEIRD. Anyways watch your order because I have a feeling this place is 50/50 on getting it right. I will say this though - when I came in the last time to have them redo my order the guy behind the counter not only fixed my order but he also gave me my money back. They value their customers and appreciate the business, which in turn I can appreciate. Another great thing is around the clock service and no minimum on a credit card. read more

OMG! Ok, in all fairness I stumbled into Bagelsmith after a night of drinking and running around Brooklyn, but I was ridiculously happy to discover 1) They had vegan cream cheese 2) They had PUMPERNICKLE EVERYTHING bagels and 3) They are open 24hrs. It doesn't get much better than that, right? The bagel was so yummy, nicely toasted. I got the sundried tomato tofu cream cheese and even my meat-eating boyfriend was impressed. I've been dreaming about Bagelsmith since my first encounter. I must go back. read more

I can't stop thinking about the bagel I ate only 2 days ago. I was visiting a friend in BK and wanted a bagel-- she suggested we go here and I'M SO GLAD SHE DID. I ordered a whole wheat everything bagel scooped out and toasted with tomato basil cream cheese and hazelnut coffee. So amazing. I wish I lived closer. Love love love. read more

Great, convenient, popular Williamsburg bagel joint! I've had better bagels elsewhere in Brooklyn. I found my everything bagel didn't quite have the crispy exterior I was looking for. I was very happy to see that they did provide olive cream cheese. Yum! Other than convenience, I liked that they took credit cards. I didn't notice if there was a minimum charge amount. read more

Delicious bagels, mediocre service. I used to come here several times per week when I worked in Williamsburg, and they frequently would get my order wrong (and I wouldn't find this out until I got to work). One time I got a muffin that was still liquid in the middle, completely uncooked!!! (I spent probably 10 minutes trying to convince myself this is how it was supposed to be, but my coworkers advised me otherwise). They gave me another muffin no hassle when I came in to complain, though. Despite the order confusion, I keep coming back because: -I loooove these bagels. -They have no credit card minimum -They're open 24 hours, and that's cool! -The staff, despite occasional confusion, are nice folks Just make sure they get your order right ;-) read more

This place just gets it; I feel like they wrote down a list of any complaints a person could have against a store like this and then figured out how to eliminate them all. Food: It's all reasonably priced (especially for Brooklyn) and offers a wide selection of breakfast/lunch sandwiches. They proudly boast the use of Boar's Head meats. I ordered up a toasted everything bagel with 2 eggs, turkey bacon, and cheese. I know breakfast sandwiches could be considered a simple meal, but this was delicious. The fresh-squeezed pulpy orange juice made the whole experience that much better. Service: Everyone here is so friendly and accommodating, you can easily tell they care a lot about their customers. Check this place out and you won't regret it. read more

Must have before a good run or busy day! You'll LOVE Brooklyn after eating here.

Usually these folks are consistent, but today was a let down. The order was just plain wrong. They remembered to put the bacon, but it was measly & undercooked. I'll give them another chance, but will go back to straight up bagel plain cream cheese until my confidence is returned. read more

For paying $10 for my breakfast, the bagel I got was mediocre, the hummus tasted really terrible and I had asked for grilled onions, but it felt as though someone had just microwaved them and they were all slimy. I ended up only eating a bit of the bagel because it had no flavor. The staff was decently friendly, which is the only place stars are coming from.. read more

I decided to give this bagel Smith one more chance and I shouldn't have. Their bagels are stale, and they charge you $5 for one egg on a bagel with a slice of cheese. The quality of the egg is disgusting, and the bagel is stale and way too chewy. This place needs to be removed from Bedford, and replaced by an actual good bagel place. New York is known for bagels and this place shames New York. read more

This has been my favorite bagel place for over 3 years. Not quite sure what has happened in the past 6 months but this has definitely fallen off. I usually pass around 8:30am and bagels have been super short of fresh. Two years ago you could walk in at any time and be guaranteed a soft and most of the times warm bagel. Coffee has also been pretty crappy lately as well. Definitely not the quality you expect when you are spending $7 for a bagel with cream cheese and a small coffee, Especially when you know how it used to be . If I wanted to a mediocre bagel I could cross the street and Go to Dunkin' Donuts. Bring the old bagelsmith back read more

I should have listened to the reviews. Four people took my order for a sandwich. The person on register also was clueless. The bacon egg and cheese was nothing special and $5.75. Literally go into ANY local deli for something better and HALF the price. read more

I came here at 11:30 am on a Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to find there was no line. I ordered a multi grain bagel lightly toasted with walnut raisin cream cheese and bacon. While the bagel wasn't the huge NY bagel I'd been hoping for it was still a respectable size and was filling enough. The bagel lightly toasted was perfect - wasn't too hard or too soft. Initially when I got my bagel they forgot to put bacon on it. When they added it on I found the bacon to be a little sparse, I only got a couple pieces, and the bacon was quite thin. read more

Positives 24 hours Credit Cards accepted (NO MINIMUM) Recommend: egg everything (toasted) with lox tofu Tried: whole wheat with mixed berry (berry spread was good) egg everything with sundried tomato (also a good choice) jalapeno and bacon spread (interesting combo to try maybe once) Needs to improve on Attitudes of staff: some are nice but others jeez depending on the time of day you can't even get a smile out of them Long lines: place is small and when the line is long it can run all the way to the door, but again depending on the time their might not be a line Amount of spread: this shocked me because when I first went there I would get a fat wad of spread now I'm lucky to get enough to really cover both sides of the bagel (it's hit or miss) Tips; save time with the line by skipping the bagel toast, and or bypass the line if your just getting a coffee. I've seen many just standing there thinking the line was to pay but it was just to order bagels read more

This Bagelsmith good Woman with bandana who runs the cash register great Lorimer's bagelsmith...not so good. But I'll complain about that later. read more

I fricken adore this place. The plentiful bagels, the amazingly stout and ever so slightly off-beat sandwiches, the delectable treats, and their willingness to cater to your insane palate at goodness knows what time! Also thank you to the guys who put it all together- and do it with such finesse! You guys I seriously love you! I love that you're not inquisitive as to why I like my bagel extra hot and crispy so that the cream cheese melts off, and are not judging me for getting veggie-lite c.c with a tomato! Bless you and thank you! Extra points for repelling the typical 'burgian d-bags from staying. I am also so over the Burg's blase food that is billed as new and exciting, though never fails to disappoint. Thank you bagel smith for remaining trite and true and delicious. read more

SUCH bad attitude and rudeness from staff and manager- will not be coming back. Bagel isn't that great either. read more

Been here a couple of times and this spot is a bit overpriced for what you get. As a native NYer, I've had bagels & breakfast sandwiches from all over - and this spot is so overrated. You can get better from any bodega, tbh. Definitely not worth the cost and long wait. I'd give it three but the cashier gave me such an attitude both times just for asking questions...‍ read more

Bagelsmith is my absolute favorite bagel spot. No matter when I come in the bagels are absolutely delicious. And so is basically everything else. Always take up the chance to try their lemonade. The wait time is annoying (sometimes) but that's what happens when Williamsburg is filled to the brim with obnoxious hipsters but honestly nothing can stop me from coming here. I'm also a part of belly so every time I visit I check in and get 5 points that accumulate and add up to some pretty cool freebies (get 75,000 points and you can arm wrestle the owner for part of the business... I've heard the own is a tough cookie so I won't be aiming for that lol). Also, the woman Lilly in front is an absolute sweetheart. Always move and friendly and somehow remembers me even with how sporadically I've been coming. Real life don't make regrets and come here for your food read more

The service was extremely poor. The person behind the counter said he would be over in a second but was dealing with customers. Either there needs to be more help behind the counter or multitasking needs to be a priority. Eventually I walked out because I got tired of waiting to place my order. Absolutely ridiculous! read more

Went back to Bagelsmith to give it another whirl and they hit it out of the park! Got a toasted ET with Veggie CC and it was magical. I have been back twice since - Lorimer and Bedford locations. I love that there are real veggies in the veggie cream cheese - carrots, peppers, herbs, etc. It's such a sad excuse for Veggie cream cheese when shops have regular cream cheese with a few green onions and tout it as "Veggie". Not the case here! Will definitely be back several times... read more

I ordered two mini bagels-plain and onion. Both of them are tasty :) read more

Bagelsmith - My mini onion bagel :) - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Easily the best bagels IN THE WORLD - don't bother going to Ess A Bagel, Murrays, or Bagel Store. My personal favorite is the poppy egg bagel with plain cream cheese. My favorite bagels have always been poppy or egg, so this gives me the best of both worlds. A piece of advice (for going to any bagel shop) is ask for less cream cheese if you don't want too much. Between the quality of the bagels, the no credit card minimum, and being open 24/7, Bagelsmith is A MUST. Plus, the coffee is great! read more

By far the best bagel since I've moved here! It's the right kind of chewy and texture. The cream cheese is fresh and they are not shy about layering it up! It's a small space and every time I've come here, this little place is packed, HOWEVER they are FAST and friendly. Yes, they are known for their amazing bagels but they have many options of sandwiches, coffee, teas, and desserts offered as well. I come here often as so should you. read more
