    Cream cheese and lox on untoasted sesame bagel
    Thang T.

    Small bagel shop in Williamsburg. Went out of the way to come to Brooklyn for bagels but was slightly disappointed. Bakery itself is nice and the service is very friendly and fast, but the actual bagels themselves were extremely dense. Toasted or untoasted, it didn't make a difference as it was hard to chew and impossible to finish.

    This place was relatively close to my hotel so I gave it a shot for breakfast. They had a good variety of options. However the bagel was just averaged to me. I did not feel like walking all the way towards the bridge to get higher rated bagels. Plus it was like an extra $3-$4 for a small amount of cream cheese.

    Bagelsmith is yet another place for bagels. It does them Williamsburg style. That means they're average tasting and cost as if they're excellent tasting. A good thing is having the vegan choices. You can get the fake cream cheese with yours. By the name alone you know they have bagels. It by far is the best thing to get here. They also have a few other deli staples. It gets super busy at breakfast. The array of toppings means you can get something for later too. I like getting the vegan cream cheese, so I like getting here early in the morning. It's $1 for a bagel, and about $3 more to get a spread. The vegan cream cheese is a lot like Tofutti. It may be the same thing, but it tastes a little fresher. That leads me to believe they make this in house, but they may actually not. Get it on a toasted bagel. It helps melt the cheese. The cream cheese is the one part I like, while the bagels usually are forgettable. It should be easy to ignore this with so many places to get bagels. Most places have cheaper and fresher bagels than here. The vegan cream cheese is also becoming more common so not as many reasons for going here.

    I noticed a vegan establishment using your bagels for their sandwiches. Are all the ingredients in your bagels considered vegan? For example type of sugars, honey, enzymes or refined wheat?

    Unless you consider yeast non-vegan, or get an egg bagel, yes!

    Does this place make without gluten bagel?

    Yes we do !

As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

It was about a 20 minute wait from enter the shop, grabbing a ticket, waiting for your number to be called, ordering the sandwich, getting the food and paying. Waiting for your number to be called happens faster than you think as people do drop out like flies, so just be patient. If you order yourself a Classic Bagel & Lox Sandwich ($17) like I did, you can watch them filet the salmon fresh from the fish itself to be used just for your sandwich. I did everything bagel and choose Scallion cream cheese, which seems like the popular choice. It's good enough to go out of the way to try once in your life. To be a repeat customer, idk if I want to wait in line for this every weekend. Additionally, there's no seating besides the benches that's outside. I do have to give it to them, among the chaos, the employee that helped me was super friendly. I also saw some of the customers get salmon samples of the salmon for the lox. Idk if they asked or the employee just happened to be offering it.
