Good bagels in Williamsburg (not amazing good but reliably good). I recently had the egg everything bagel with lox spread. It may be my new favorite! They have a great selection of bagels but I think they could offer a few more cream cheese options. Service is a bit slow if you are in a morning rush, but I appreciate how friendly everyone is. They say "hello" and "thanks" which isn't always that common early in the morning. My mocha was delicious which was a lovely surprise. read more

Quick service and really nice staff. Big ups to Erica. My morning go-to when en route to the L.

Bagelsmith can get pretty chaotic during the rush hours, but the staff here is nice, and their bagels cannot be beat! Also, they have a great selection of tofu cream cheeses, and their hours, which is 24/7 are perfect for any late night munchies. I wouldn't trade Bagelsmith for anything around here. read more

It's a shame for me to give this place one star. their bagels are actually pretty decent. the problem is they cannot seem to get the orders right. it's sort of become a joke. My friends and I all order and then text each other when we get home and open our bags to to see if Bagelsmith managed to get the order right. they almost never do. 90% of the time I wait for 20 mins (weekdays) or 40 minutes (weekends) and then walk out with either my cream cheese wrong, or a completely different bagel than I asked for. Oh, and forget about a 'toasted' bagel. that most certainly wont happen when you ask for it. read more

It was 3am after a night at Output. I know it's late, but there four customers total and it took 30 minutes to make a #10 sandwich. Faster turnaround would have improved the experience. I probably won't come back. read more

It's hard to describe how it taste and I don't feel like it's that much space and also it needs more chairs

Ever since I've left New York, I've been having this odd craving for Bagelsmith which will undoubtedly be hard to find an equivalent in the South. Friends and I stopped by late Friday night around 3:00am for a late night snack. I got lox with cream cheese on a toasted onion bagel while my friend got an everything bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese. My lox was overflowing with smoked salmon and cream cheese. That much filling almost made me feel guilty. I tried some of my friend's bagel and the bacon scallion cream cheese was soo good -creamy, thick, and with perfect flavoring. Despite paying $7 something for my bagel and consuming probably a ridiculous amount of carbs and calories, it was still definitely worth it. Only downside is that seating is very limited, so expect to eat your delicious bagel on the go! read more

This is a tale of sacrifice, borderline starvation, and savior that at the end of the day came in the form of an egg everything bagel. While the intro may seem dramatic, I assure you it is no overstatement. I was managing a promotional team pumping a new energy drink (insert plug for Tamarind Potencia) at the 116th Street Puerto Rican Festival. The day seemed destined for branding success until ominous storm clouds rolled in at a menacing pace and began to dump cold, hard rain all over the slew of primped promo girls. Needless to say anyone from the area ran, leaving me with a slew of scared, North Carolinians with mascara stained cheeks and an unnecessary fear of what happens when the sun goes down in New Yawk. Day quickly tuned to night and I was entrusted with gaurding 40,000 cans of our soaked product from the street folk lingering in the shadows ready to run with cases at a time (they succeeded on a few occasions). We are hungry. Tired. Huddled in a 1995 caravanl....low and behold from the console....a bag of Bagelsmith delights purchased and forgotton earlier that day. Needless to say the cream cheese was in a state that could not be consumed from the day out of refridgeration but the bagels were devine. I remember starting many days with their baked goodness (and hazelnut iced coffee) when I lived in the hood and eating that egg everything bagel removed me from the cramped caravan and thoughts of days past danced in my head. These delicious bagels quieted the whining of the crew and the rumble in my tummy all in one swoop... And that is the tale of how an egg everything bagel saved the day. And we all lived happily ever after. Except the cream cheese. The end. read more

If you dont get the bagel toasted it will taste stale. That sucks. Otherwise its a perfectly fine place to get somethign on the way to the train. ive been here a dozen times and varied my order. Ive never had anything that rose above the average deli sandwich and whenever the bagel was not toasted it tasted stale - dry and clumpy. read more

here's the deal. bagelsmith has multiple personalities, it just depends on what time you go- and that's never predictable. come on, its a 24-hour bagel joint. at least when it comes to service.sometimes the service can really suck, and they'll fuck up your order and make you late for class... usually they'll give you a refund, though. anyways, i can't eat bagels anymore because i'm allergic to gluten, and i can't eat dairy or soy, so there's no point in coming to bagelsmith anymore. but i'll tell you this: when i could eat gluten and soy, i ate bagelsmith every day. i got a whole-wheat bagel with sundried-tomato tofu and sometimes a chicken breast. oh, the selection of tofu creams totally kicks the bagel store's ass. i so miss being able to eat soy and gluten...bagelsmith, i miss youuuu. although i do stop by sometimes to try your teas, the mint one i had last time was excellent. and cheap. your no-credit card minimum is beautiful. read more

I've been coming to Bagelsmith ever since they opened, and at first I felt like a traitor to The Bagel Store a little further down Bedford. In fact, at first I only went here if I was very lazy, I was not impressed with their bagels (this was back when The Bagel Store used to "toast" your bagel by squashing it in a panini press, LOVED that) and I was pissed that they had moved into the space of the old L Cafe. However, it's about FIVE YEARS LATER and time to bury the hatchet, because the bagels are tasty. Hands down, they have the best egg, cheese and bacon sandwiches I've ever had. The eggs are freshly fried up and the bacon is crispy and the cheese is always perfectly melted. The scallion lite cream cheese is my favorite if I'm not in an egg mood. Their coffee is fantastic, and their teas are really good too. The set-up is a little odd (the counters in the back are awkwardly high, the peeps back there are always peering over them and it's often unclear whether they're talking to me or the person next to me), and it's often crowded at peak times on the weekends, but ultimately it's a solid bet. And, of course, they're open 24hrs and take credit cards with no minimum. Yay! read more

bagels people!! fresh bagels!!! the smoked salmon on everything with cream cheese is my everything don't forget about their blueberry bagels, fam read more

For a store to have "bagel" in their name I expect better. The bagels were hard. Not fresh at all. The lox here was the high point. Healthy portion and good flavor. Also over priced. read more

Only reason this is not a 5 is because their cream cheese bagels aren't anything special. But if you're looking for the best breakfast bagels in Williamsburg, look no further. The egg bagels are perfectly buttery and combine great with bacon, egg and cheese. Hands down my favorite bagel read more

Pumpernickel everything bacon scallion cream cheese. Good enough that I might consider leaving midtown office midday on a Tuesday hopping on the 6 transferring to the L to get a bagel to get back on the L, 6, back to midtown office in the course of an hour lunch break. Not that I've done that. Just saying that I might consider it. Other things to consider: 1. How far down Bedford Ave can your imagination roll while the rest of you stands munching and chewing through this magnificent creation on the corner of North 7th St? Can you make it all the way to the ocean? Does your serious disregard to kosher dietary laws ram a stick into your spokes in any of the neighborhoods along the way? Is it exacerbated by your choice of pantswear? 2.Have you in fact angered the bagel purveyors, as you feel you may have, and with what uncouth assumption or misstep? And are you in fact deserving of the gruff love they offer so freely, stir into your coffee with one cream one sugar? read more

My bagel joint of choice in the 'burg. Their bagels and spreads are absolutely amazing, and they have cheap bagel sandwiches. Bacon, egg, and cheese + blue gatorade is my new hangover cure. It often looks crowded, but they are really fast and never mess up orders - even if there's a long line, it's still worth the short wait. It's never as long as you would think. Awesome drink selection too - among other things, they carry TeaNY iced teas, which rule. read more

I found out about this place at the most appropriate time, rushing on my way to catch the bus to head back home to Boston. As I was walking to the subway I noticed this shop and thought, "Hey, might as well stop in for a bagel." I was greeted by one of the guys behind the counter and I ordered the sesame bagel with plain cream cheese (what can I say, I'm a risk taker). It came nice and warm and I couldn't wait to try it. When I got in my ride I couldn't get over how warm and soft it was, and the cream cheese is to die for!! Next time I will take the time to sit back, relax, and enjoy one of the best bagels I ever ate! read more

The bagel's are great. Reminds me of the Jewish bagel places in Los Angeles. I had the everything bagel with lox cream cheese

De-li-cious! Just recently have I grown a love for tofu spread on bagels-and their mixed berry tofu spread-amazing. Not only is it berry flavored but there are fresh blueberries as well! Service was quick and everyone behind the counter was nice. After a summer bagel hiatus, I'm pumped to find this place. read more

Excellent bagels! I'd heard a lot of hype about NY bagels but I tried some before hand and didn't understand the difference. Then I went here and understood what everyone was going on about, delicious! Not quite enough garlic on the everything bagel in my opinion but great nonetheless. read more

The bagels are so so good. Service was a little questionable, but I might be grumpy too at 4 am with a bunch of drunk people yammering at me. read more

I really loved this place, very close, just to go, no tables inside. It will take a couple of minutes standing in line, the time needed to select the best combinations of ingredients for your bagels. Large variety of bagels and cheese creams. Tasty sweet muffins ad well! read more

I love that Bagelsmith is 24 hrs & caters to all of my late night cravings! $1 bagels and the best vegan cream cheese I have ever encountered!! Whipped to perfection in every flavor imaginable!! My favorites are olive and scallion piled high NY style on an everything bagel loaded with as many toppings as you can handle! If you prefer a carnivorous lifestyle,there is a huge selection of premium boars heads meats and cheeses to choose from as well! As far as the coffee and cookies go...I'm not that impressed, but it works. It's all about the Bagels here! Very small and cute shop in the heart of Bedford with a glass faced window and bar to sit and watch the passerbys. There are only four stools in this place,so chances are you're getting your meal on the go, but then again..that's probably what the majority of New Yorkers are looking for! Ha! Customer service is mediocre & it can sometimes get messy especially after hours when the bars let out, but its expected in Brooklyn. Either way,Bagelsmith is awesome & I highly recommend stopping in! read more

Mean lady who runs the cash register! She handed me the wrong coffee then yelled at me for taking the wrong coffee. I know they are busy, but you just don't let your aggressions out on the customer. won't be going back, too scared of being yelled at! read more

Got an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, tomato, cucumber and sprouts and somehow it came out to nearly $6. Whatever, that's fine. Unwrap the package to eat at the shop and discover that it's cut in half - but only through the top half of the bagel. I very nicely asked the girl at the register if they could cut it all the way through and she literally glares at me and says they can't take bagels back once I've taken it. I repeat my request of having them cut the bagel properly so that I could eat it. Maybe I wasn't articulating my request clearly... I finally asked for a knife so that I could cut it myself. Regardless of the absolutely terrible service, the bagel itself was super mediocre. Try somewhere else. read more

This place is okay. I much prefer going to the Bagel Store which is further down Bedford. Here, it is really, really crammed and when it gets packed, you're just stuck and it's horrible (especially in the gross summer heat). The bagels are pretty decent. The one time I went the guy screwed up my bagel selection but the line was so long, I was too pissed to take it back. They serve a bunch of other things as well, like sandwiches and baked goods. All in all, not the greatest place for bagels. read more

I love the bagels. However, the cashier lady always seem a little rude and impatient.... Also a little bit pricy ($5 something,) for a bagel with only avocado, but oh well i know that the price for avocado is only rising... Love it for 24/7 read more

The bagels here are really good, and I love that they accept cards. That is pretty much the only reason why I frequent Bagelsmith as opposed to the Bagel Store. There's usually a fairly long line, and I don't think I've ever had them not screw up my order in some way. (Forgetting to bring it out, not putting tomato slices on it, not toasting it, etc.) Yet I keep going back because the bagels are extremely tasty and I can pay using a card. read more

I DJ in the burg a lot, so it's pretty much awesome that I can get a perfect bagel AND tofu cream cheese at 4 am. The only thing that would improve the place would be a ramp over the steps at the entrance so my friend can get in. read more

Probably the best bagels in the neighborhood, but there's not a whole lot of competition in the area. Good selection of flavored cream cheese and sides, it's nice that they do eggs and deli sandwiches as well. But, one pet peeve - they don't take pick up orders. It's just a pain to not be able to order a bagel and pick it up - the store is small and you never know if it will be packed or empty. read more

This place is Tiny, sardines in a can tiny, but the employees do a great job or taking orders, charging you and getting the line moving. The bagels come out quick, breakfast sandwiches take a noticeably longer time. I ordered a toasted bagel and it was not toasted, but the bagel was soft and fresh. It was a pretty good bagel. read more

No credit card minimum woohoo! So many flavored cream cheeses, but decided to try the scallion lite and the walnut raisin. The mini bagels are nice, I thought I would get a bagel bite, but it's a good size. Friendly staff - I got a compliment on my name :) read more

Second time I received a cold un-toasted and unappealing bagel. I specifically like my bagels EXTRA toasted. I come in with my baby and by the time I get the change to open the bag and eat ( also usually starving ) it's so disappointing. There was a post-it note attached to my bagel that even said DARK. How do you still get it wrong? Can they not hear, or read? I called and complained and someone named Michelle said they would make it up next time I came in.. which is better than nothing I guess. Why would I want to go back after the second time they messed up my order? I think when you are paying four bucks for a bagel with cream cheese they could at least care enough to toast it. Lame. Don't go here for your bagel. Try Verb cafe instead, where one person makes your coffee and bagel and they give a damn. read more

Yes for open 24h. The bagels are fine. I have never seen a smile nor any kind of hustle on anyone that works here.

Another disappointing New York bagel experience. Don't get me wrong, Bagelsmith is fine, but there isn't anything that sets it apart from the pack. I got a bagel sandwich served on everything and it was good, but the bagel was the worst thing about it. Maybe they weren't quite fresh since this was late afternoon, but the place was packed so I assume they must have been making bagels all day. read more

Shitty service for a sub par bagel. Ordered an everything bagel and lox and normally get the works on it. They didn't tel us that they would be charging us an extra .50 per item like LETTUCE or Onions?! Really? .50 for 3 strings of red onion? Not only that but they didn't bother to let us know about the add ons -- like, fuck you Bagelsmith. Everyone should go to Have-a-Bagel instead read more

Whoever worked the cashier this morning should not be working there, extremely rude attitude not just to me but to everyone paying and waiting for their bagels. I was not the only one that was frustrated... asked for a bag/ hands me and everyone else a closed bag with the bagel... very slow with delivering orders.... no alertness whatsoever or kindness to anyone... I'm sorry to be so rude about her but I've noticed this before and it makes me feel awkward to even come back. A lot of other customers were rolling through eyes to at her unprofessionalism. read more

Service here is truly horrible ; as far as the bagels go delicious. Their lorimor location service is by far the best location highly recommend ordering bigger orders from them read more

Best bagels, by a longshot. Plus, they're open 24 hours, and take any amount on credit card. And with a basically full menu of sandwiches, you can stop just thinking about bagels at 4AM, and think onward to better food. Just make sure to walk in in person, and not call an order in, I haven't had great success with them getting sandwich orders to go correct over the phone. read more

Bagels were delicious. Quick service, nice area. Here from LA and I really enjoyed it
