We ordered from here via Seamless and made a mistake so we called the store to cancel it (since the app doesn't let you cancel). They said it was canceled, but a bagel showed up at our door half an hour later. Although unwanted, the bagel itself was fine. It didn't quite hit the spot, and the lox was slightly slimy but in these times most deliveries have been a bit off. read more

You're better off buying into the franchise than buying a bagel. Tasty but overpriced. Toasted onion bagel, scallion cream cheese, and lox =$11.75 read more

Bagelsmith - $11.75 toasted onion bagel, scallion cream cheese, and lox - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They have a pumpernickel everything!!! that's good enough for five stars for me as they are so rare to find. The space is small and cozy and they give you a perfect amount of cream cheese. The bagels are great - nice and doughy and flavorful. They also have lots of good drinks and kombucha as well as other baked goods. I've mostly gone to the bigger location on Lorimer but they are both 5 stars to me. read more

Staff was nice, but they got my order completely wrong. I asked for two toasted bagels with plain cream cheese. After having to wait a bit longer because they "messed up my order" I got home to see that they messed it up again. Bagels were not toasted and cream cheese was watery. I threw most of my order away. Would not go back. read more

Constantly messing up my order i tell them exactly what I want i even ask them to check if they have it and they say yes then give me the wrong thing on purpose i assume since this is the third time same order super simple nothing complicated at this point I have to stop ordering from there and so has my work place because we are tired of walking back over to return our incorrect orders . During the summer it was female ran and nevr a problem but these guys don't care about the quality or customer service they are just rushing everything and ruining people's mornings. read more

I've been a loyalist to the Bagelsmith on Lorimer since I moved to New York many moons ago. This location offers pretty much the same thing, but I've not found their game is up to speed to Lorimer. To start, the space is teeny tiny, which is fine, it's Bedford. However, what is not fine is being packed in like sardines on a Sunday morning when everyone else is hungover and trying not to lose it. This Bagelsmith has the whole works when it comes to bagels (everything, cinnamon raisin, etc.) as well as an array of cream cheeses. So many possibilities. They also have sandwich combos you can choose from if you're not sure. The bagels are good, but sometimes you'll get dud - a tiny lil bagel. Need a drink? There's an open fridge with plenty of options, from juices, to tea, to fancy fruit cups and yogurt. Service can be hit-or-miss. Some employees are super duper friendly, whereas some employees barely acknowledge your existence as you're ordering. Not anything to make a fuss over though, it's a bagel shop. It's a solid choice if you're looking for something tasty and cheap on-the-go and ESPECIALLY if you're hungover on a weekend and looking for something to save you from the misery (not that I would know...) read more

Bagelsmith - Inside - it's small but perfect for taking a bagel on the go - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Bagels available for 24 hours? Love it! Had a short half-day in NYC, parked in a garage a block away, and took some bagels to-go for the road. Got the Garlic bagel (Very, VERY garlicky) and Poppy seed bagel. For a non-New Yorker, I really liked it.. It had a nice chewy exterior, and fluffy interior. Perfect when toasted and with a schmear. The lox cream cheese was also very good. When I was here around noon, there was a long line out the door for the bagels. But around 1AM at night, there was no wait! read more

Highly recommend the everything egg bagel with egg and bacon for around $6. Lots of different cream cheeses including vegan tofu spreads. Not much seating inside this shop, but it doesn't matter because it's the ultimate grab & go right next to the subway. read more

Bagelsmith - egg everything bagel with egg and bacon - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Figured I try a specialty shop since I had a weird craving for a bagel. This place was okay. I asked for a lightly toasted bagel but it was cold, no biggy. I ordered a sourdough bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese...and they really pack on the cream cheese. Service was a little informal but they were friendly. It satisfied my craving but I hate to say...it felt like a waste of calories. read more

Bagelsmith - Sourdough, scallion bacon cream cheese.....is this a sourdough bagel? - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Some of the best bagels in the city... possibly the world. Their specialty sandwiches are delicious but a basic bagel with cream cheese is more than enough to satisfy your bagel urges read more

Ordered a BLT on everything bagel ($7). It came with only lettuce and tomato... Bagel is ok. Idk what the hype is with the long lines.

I have been coming here for 10 years and the food is consistently good. Their bacon egg and cheese is tasty even though they only use one egg and two tiny pieces of bacon. But I am officially done because of the constant price increases. Your bacon egg and cheese is $6.26!? I pay 3$ in Manhattan. Sorry you just lost a long time customer Update: I decided to give bagel smith another try only to find out the bacon egg and cheese has increased in price AGAIN. It is now almost 7$. Goodbye once again Update: BACON EGG AND CHEESE 7.35$ THEY CANT STOP THE PRICE INCREASE LOL read more

I want Bagelsmith to be good so very much because it's the closest bagel shop to where I live. In nyc I am lucky enough to expect the best of the best when it comes to bagels, so this can probably be taken with that in mind. Bagels are dry, sandwiches have almost no ingredients on them. The wait is awkwardly long in a tiny space. The staff was friendly enough. Location is great and super convenient by the L train on Bedford. I ordered an egg and cheese on wheat everything bagel. The order was incorrect and it had meat on it. Unfortunately, I'm a vegetarian. So this wasn't ideal, but it happens. However, as I waited 20 minutes in their tiny store, I saw several other orders come out incorrect. It was kind of a mess. Iced coffee was good but they ran out of almond milk. Overall just frustrating and kind of a waste of time and breakfast. read more

Wanted to like this place as I love Brooklyn bagels. Had high hopes but honestly not one of the better bagels I've had. Staff was nice but the bagel itself was mediocre. (Also asked for toasted and it was barely toasted). Didn't want to give a low star review but its warranted. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The staff works really hard. I ordered a bagel and hot chocolate to go. When I got to my car And drank the hot chocolate, I realized it was just steamed milk with almost no chocolate in it so I thought the chocolate may be at the bottom but there was no stir stick or napkins in my bag . I didn't feel like walking back 3 blocks to fix it so I just thought I would write this review. The bagel was just OK, and here is a photo of my steamed milk which is not hot chocolate read more

Bagelsmith - Hot Chocolate? - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I went here today based on my best friend's recommendation. I want to start by saying that the blueberry bagel I purchased was solid and worth the trip. The service was absolutely atrocious! I ordered a blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese and received a blueberry bagel with plain cream cheese. I ordered an ice coffee with hazelnut syrup, Oatmilk, and sugar. The first rendition looked like dirty water. The second rendition which had half and half added tasted like water. The third rendition, which I asked to have remade, tasted like ever so slightly sweetened water with cream. Finally, I ordered a chocolate chip muffin which the young man at the cash register asked me to repeat but still managed to give me a carrot cake muffin (I only realized that hours later after I got home). The cashier rang me up and never told me what my total was and didn't offer me a receipt. Maybe others haven't had my experience but I would say that The Bagelsmith will have to be a hard pass for me the next time I have a bag cravin. read more

Staff is incredibly rude.. first time, came in asking for coffee and the guy asked me four times if I was sure I didn't want a bagel and in the back I hear him talking with a coworker saying something along the lines of "tell 'em to go to Starbucks" hilarious considering I truly should have.. terrible coffee. Second time, I asked for a toasted and scooped bagel.. didn't get either requests despite the fact that he asked me three times. I think the guy makes you repeat stuff to make you insane because it doesn't seem to serve any other purpose.. can't even get a simple order right. read more

Went in after a tough workout at the gym. I bought a dozen bagels and pound of cream cheese... did I say it was a tough workout?? Don't worry, they were shared with the fam. But the paper bag smelled so so good and was nice and warm to hug in the winter cold. I ordered half everything and half pumpernickel garlic. That smell was so enticing! These bagels are so big and round, a little chewy shell on the outside (but not the kind you have to pull your teeth out to tear) and fluffy on the inside. Toasted with a smear of cream cheese and it was the perfect after gym snack. I'm happy to know this is an option in Williamsburg and makes for a perfect motivation to kill it at the gym! read more

This used to be my absolutely favorite bagel place but during COVID, they DO NOT WEAR MASKS in the kitchen, which is absolutely insane. There's a women with short hair and glasses who constantly walks around and eats while working, with no mask on. She also had her nephew or grandson who looked about 10 years old behind the counter handling food, with no mask. Do not eat here. read more

Banging little bagel shop. Come at peak time and you'll be wrapped around the place, but service is fast, the bagels are fresh and HEY... vegan cream cheese. It's a tofu based cream cheese that is out of this world. I'll come back for sure. read more

What a shop! If you need a bagel and you're in the hood, have a stop at Bagelsmith! Honestly one of the best bagels I've had whilst in New York. Seeing the name flash by while walking down Bedford Avenue drew me in. The outside of the shop looks like it got stuck in somewhere in the 50' or 60' even though it was established in 2000. The baristas are friendly, kind and incredibly helpful in assisting me customize my order. After a lovely chat with both people behind the counter, I ended up with a delicious Everything bagel with egg, turkey and cream cheese... in other words, heaven on my tongue. I have no doubt that anything made in the kitchen here is wonderful! The only thing missing here is a toilet. Hence why I gave it 4 stars. Otherwise it's perfect. If only I lived in Williamsburg, I'd be here more often. Until then, I won't be seeing any real stars here at home, in Hollywood. read more

Just like Jess, I was also way overcharged for a bagel. I ordered a simple bacon, egg and cheese and was charged $7.35. I was questioned why I was charged this much and the girl told me with an attitude that it was simply tax. I agreed and paid thinking it would be a phenomenal sandwich. However when I received it, I immediately knew there is no way this sandwich should cost this much. For the quality of the bagel sandwich I got, this is absolutely despicable. I wasn't the only one with this issue either. A woman who was behind me in line also questioned why she was paying way more than usual. I've been here before and it wasn't this horrible, so I'm wondering if they got a new counter person or cook. Anyway, I hope this gets resolved soon because the bagels themselves are actually great. read more

Slowest service ever! The cashier and people making the bagels have a lack of communication so she's taking orders and not passing it to them. 10 mins for a plain bagel was way too long especially since it was slow. read more

Horrible bagels. The guy who works there at the cashier was very rude to us because we just wanted to sit down. I'll never come back to this place read more

If you like bagels then this is your place! Super quick and yummy sandwiches. I love the egg, cheese, and bacon. They also have everything/pumpernickel bagels!!! What an amazing combo!!! Service is good as well. As a heads up, space is limited so don't plan to eat there. read more

Bagels are good yes but hard to even appreciate because of the HORRIBLE customer service. Hopping off the plane at JFK this morning I couldn't wait to get back home and walk and get a bagel. I was the only person in Bagelsmith at 6:30am-- it took 2/3 mins to have someone acknowledge me to take my order and it then took 25 mins to get a sausage egg and cheese bagel. When asking how much longer it would be the guy had an attitude and responded "its coming!" (I have NEVER waited this long for a bagel anywhere) I also added onion and paid for the upcharge which I have no problem with until I got home and saw the onion or lack there of. What was my favorite spot to get bagels in BK has now become a JOKE.-This was for the Bedford location in Williamsburg read more

I have only written a handful of reviews, and only do so when it's necessary. I don't review to warn others (even thought it helps) but I review so that business can be better and thrive. Sadly, as you will read below, I don't think anything would really motivate the staff here. 2 stars because the food was actually good! The rest is a freakin disaster. 1. Woman behind the counter is very unfriendly. I thought it was just once so I let it slide, but It's happened the 3-4 times I've been there. Complete turn off. 2. The price for a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel is absurd. I would not mind paying that price if they : - used more than one (1) small egg -Used more than 1 slice of bacon - the bagels were bigger. Most places in New York are double the size 3. In a pinch I wanted to stop here this morning because of convenience and the sign on the door said "we do not open at 7". Okay, that's fair. But It was 8:15 and the door was locked still. The previous mentioned staff didn't even come to explain. They just kind of looked at me and another potential customer. Just a disaster all around. I'm the type of Person that will go to a place over and over again if the food is good and the people are friendly. Probably have missed out on hundreds or thousands $$$$ from me alone (multiply that by how many others feel the same) and well, yeah, you get the point. read more

Everyone was nice, the place was hopping, it's super cute, but the food itself was mediocre (especially for a New York bagel). I got a turkey, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel for $7.50. It was perfectly fine, but not special, and I finished it wishing I'd just gone into a bodega and ordered one for $4. read more

Gerritsen Beach Bagel was the only spot I would visit to eat fresh bagels, but after visiting Bagelsmith in Williamsburg, I have realized that Brooklyn rules when it comes to bagels. I hate cream cheese with a passion, but this spot made me change my views instantly after one bite. How good is it? You know how a crack head start dancing for white squares? Well that is how it is when you take a bite of Bagelsmith bagels with some custom made cream cheese. You will start singing like your Beyoncé without Beyonce money. You will hit the high notes like Mariah Carey after 3 bites. You will start nibbling on the sides of your sandwich like you were Mike Tyson. You will say, "What you talking about Willis?", like Arnold when your partner dares to ask you for a bite of your sandwich. This place is a hidden gem in Williamsburg. Enjoy your meal! read more

Bagel was nice and fluffy and I got the tomato basil cream cheese with med coffee. I think it was the cream cheese I picked, but I wasn't feeling it. I think if I got a different kind I would have been more content. The shop was small with a line almost out the door. My friend and I were able to snag two seats (there's only 4 seats in the shop) to eat our bagels and watch all the hipsters walk by. The hipster scene isn't really.... my thing I realized. Good coffee, but make sure you choose wisely which cream cheese to get. The even have tofu?? Weird.... read more

One of the best bagels I've had in a good while. The place is right next to the Bedford metro stop so it's a great location. Small space but relatively clean and staff is well equipped. Drink selections are great! Limited seating but if you can grab one do so, it's comfortable and a good people watching spot. Speed is essential and for a quality toasted bagel I barley waited. Price is also decent with it being under 5.00, for some reason other places charge more for bread and cheese but that's another story. The bagel is soft and slightly chewy with a good skin. Came out warm, not hot, perfect to eat without getting a blister. Olive cream cheese was well mixed with plenty of olives. Great texture and flavor. It's a simple thing to eat in the morning and easy for a commute, even on a subway? Not a place to take people but if you ever want a bagel to eat, this is it. read more

Since I don't know the ropes regarding bagels, I ordered exactly what my local buddy got, which was an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and lox. Wow. It was really good. My husband said his plain bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese was delicious too. I was also impressed that they have a pretty serious breggfast menu too. This would make me happy if I lived here because when I'm not on vacation I prefer to eat fewer carbs. I haven't eaten enough bagels here to know if these are "the best", but I do know what I had was cray delish! read more

I accidentally stumbled upon this place a little over 2 years ago when I was lost in Williamsburg. I'm glad I did! I've been making it a point to come here to grab breakfast or a few bagels to take home whenever I find myself in this neck of the woods. It's a no-frills storefront that's perfect for getting some bagels to go or a sandwich, with one row of high top seats up at the front window, also conveniently located right next to the Bedford Ave L stop (and only 1 stop away from East Village Manhattan). The bagels pass the test for the perfect New York City handmade bagel with flying colors; the right consistency of crackly, glossy outer crust with a thick, chewy center. You have a wide array of schmears and spreads to choose from (including some yummy tofu spreads). The sandwiches are also fairly large with an ample amount of topping. The bacon, egg, and cheese on the everything bagel is my personal favorite. I also thoroughly enjoy the whitefish salad as well. The iced coffee pairs well with the food, though it's a little on the weaker side. Luckily, the cooler in the front has a large assortment of different beverages. Service for me has never been an issue here. Even when the line is spanning out the door in the middle of a breakfast rush, the wait time between waiting in line to order and receiving my food has never been more than 10 minutes or so. Obviously if your order is super elaborate with a myriad of modifications, especially in the middle of a rush, you're going to be waiting longer. read more

Serious hot bagel -- baked fresh and huge. Came during the afternoon so place wasn't crowded and the service was fine (unlike some of the other Yelp reviews). Similar to some of the Manhattan bagel joints with many different options / types of bagels. I would come back if I were in the neighborhood again. read more

As a bonafide LA gal, I had to get my bagel fix while in NY for business and Bagelsmith did not disappoint. This is one slick, well-run enterprise. In the space of a shoebox, Williamsburgians line up to select their favorite, perfect bagels, and shout out what they want the bagelsmiths to top them with...lox, cream cheese, tomato, you name it. I found myself regretting my choice of a plain cream cheese standard sesame after overhearing more exotic choices after me. *Also make damn fine coffee. **Listen a while before making your selection...you may learn something. ***Open 24 hours-- how cool is that? read more

What choice does one have but to love Bagelsmith if you live in North Williamsburg? It is literally the only real bagel place around. The bagels are also great. And today I finally saw a longtime employee (maybe a manager) who had been absent for awhile & runs the place extremely well. She cares about customers & seems aware of the fact that we want to place orders, get our food/drinks & leave. However! Over the past 3-4 years Bagelsmith's customer service in general has *really* deteriorated. People taking orders mess them up, there's always a huge delay between ordering, paying & getting what you paid for, regardless of how many people are in the store. I've been there Saturday mornings when everyone wants bagels & the cashier is atrocious. I've been there at 6:30 am on a weekday trying to pick up a simple order for office bagels that somehow got screwed up. I've been there at 3 am with a friend as the only two people there and it's taken longer to get a bagel and tea than it takes to knit a sweater. The few times I've been to the other Bagelsmith location near Lorimer, it has been a lot better, fwiw. I hope the company can get its act together on northside because it prevents people like me from wanting to even walk inside. read more
