The Whole Wheat Everything bagels are always a HIT in my house. The bagels are always fresh, soft and tasty. One bagel is large enough to feed two people. Service was fast, and the 473 Bergen Street, Brooklyn, local is steps away from the Brooklyn Atlantic Terminal - LIRR location. A casual atmosphere is available for customers to enjoy a bite. I would definitely recommend Bergen Bagels for any occasion. read more

Okay, so I've had better Bergen Bagels experiences than this one. I went with a bialy and feta pesto cream cheese, and on paper that sounded like a good pairing. The bialy itself was good. nice texture, tasted fresh. just a bit smaller than I expected, but I could live with it because the actual bialy was on point. The cream cheese is where things fell apart. The feta pesto spread was SUPER salty, and not in a "nice punch of flavor" way, more in a "this is kind of distracting from everything else" way. It ended up making the whole thing harder to enjoy, which was a bummer because the bialy was actually good. I'd happily come back for a bialy again, but I'd 100% pick a different cream cheese next time. read more

Ordered from here on Uber Eats after a coworker recommended it. I got the egg sandwich and chose bacon, an everything bagel, and cheese. I also added a note asking for pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo, and black pepper. The bagel came wrapped nice neatly and everything was packaged well, the branded wrapping was a nice touch. Once I opened it, that is when my disappoints started. My notes were ignored even though the slip was stapled to the front of the bag. I grabbed some condiments to help it out and then sat down to try it, but the flavor still was not there. It filled me up, but it tasted plain and did not match what I asked for. My total was $12.31, which is on the higher side. With the notes being ignored and the overall taste, I personally would not order from here again. read more

Needed a bagel fix before we left Brooklyn, so our sweet daughter picked up bagels and cream cheese for breakfast. Everything bagel with smoked salmon cream cheese. So easy. So delicious. So Brooklyn. The bagels are huge. I ate half for a nice family breakfast and then packed the other half for lunch at LaGuardia. Perfect airport lunch. read more

So I'm not a bagel person but once my friends brought me bagels from here, I've become one. I've been in search for similar bagels near where we live. Some come close but when I visited Brooklyn recently, despite the snowstorm, I had to grab a dozen of these. The lox cream cheese is so good. My son LOVES it too and he doesn't even like cream cheese. Ordering it online was easy, no wait. Next time I'm in the area, I'll be back! read more

Bagel tasted like it had been frozen and was defrosted. Texture wasn't great either. Could get a better bagel from a coffee cart.

Bagels were delicious. It gets busy and was hard to determine at first where the line was, but it was worth it. I'm no New Yorker so sue me for this but I really wish there was a space to sit and eat real quick since we came on a busy walking day. There are two small tables outside but that was it. Everyone was very kind and efficient. read more

Came in on a Friday morning (before 10am) and they were busy! The team got my order wrong (I had asked for an iced latte and got a hot one) but since there were so many people, I just accepted my fate. My bagel sandwich was sizeable -- definitely a filling breakfast that can hold you over well into lunch. The coffee was fine but nothing to write home about. The coffee I make at home honestly tastes better. Service was fast, workers were kind, and the food was good. All in all, I recommend. read more

Bergen Bagels is exactly the kind of neighborhood staple that reminds me why Brooklyn does bagels better than anywhere else. I kept it classic with a bagel and cream cheese, and it was everything I wanted: freshly baked with that perfect balance of chew and softness, and a generous spread of cream cheese that felt just right--simple, but done with care. The energy inside was lively without being overwhelming, and the staff kept things moving smoothly while still managing to be warm and welcoming. It's the kind of spot where you can grab something quick, but you also don't mind lingering for a few minutes just to soak up the atmosphere. All in all, a strong 4/5 experience. Great bagel, great service, and an ambiance that makes you want to come back--next time I'll definitely be branching out to try one of their specialty sandwiches. read more

Solid spot for bagels in Brooklyn. Line moves quickly. Discount if you pay with cash. Fresh bagels!

I came here on a Sunday morning to get a bagel breakfast and to buy a dozen bagels to take home. The Lox Bagel I got for breakfast was so good--not just the freshly baked bagel, but also the smoked salmon, house-made cream cheese, tomato, and capers. I asked the staff to give me the freshest bagels to take home on my five-hour drive, and he assured me that everything was fresh and had just come out of the oven. He also gave me two extra bagels for free with my dozen order, so I got 14 bagels for the price of 12. How nice! This was my first time here, and I really enjoyed the experience. I love their bagels too--they are so much bigger than those I get in the DMV area. read more

Their menu selection is super large and diverse. This is a super small bagel shop where you can stand and eat if you would like or most likely take to go. The bagels are super fresh. We tried the cinnamon bagel with plain cream cheese. that was absolutely delicious. We also had the bacon egg and cheese on a wheat. Everything bagel that was pretty good, but it definitely needed a little bit of sauce. The service was super quick and the prices are reasonable. read more

These are good bagels. Ten years after my first time having them, they are still delicious (and a great way to occupy a three-year-old for an hour). Perhaps a little fatter and doughier than the ideal, but the same has been said about me so I'm not really going to complain. They've got all the schmears you need, the prices are decent, and the service is fast and efficient. This is just about everything you need in a bagel shop. Really, I think it's great. I have to say though...and I'm not trying to fight any of you Bergen Bagel fanatics... but I am going to put this out there: I don't think they are the best in the city, and I don't think they are worth going out of your way. But they are good bagels, and the neighborhood is lucky to have them. I can also appreciate that in addition to black and white cookies, they've also gone the extra mile and made just black cookies, and just white cookies. They are actually the only place I've seen this done. And again, this might be a complex and metaphorical statement about the rampant gentrification in the area. Is it? Do these cookie choices have racial, socioeconomic, and political implications, Bergen Bagels?! I don't support this cookie segregation! I support equal cookie rights for everyone in Brooklyn! But if it's just because some people prefer vanilla or chocolate, then that's cool. read more

Bergen Bagels is absolutely phenomenal! The Blueberry Bagel with cream cheese and an iced coffee is my go-to meal. The staff is friendly and the line moves relatively fast. They also do catering which I love; fruits, Bagels, coffee, and breakfast sandwiches. There are a couple of stools outside for dining but I usually get my order to go. read more

Bergen Bagels nails the food--chewy, fresh, and flavorful, exactly what you want in a New York bagel. My everything with scallion cream cheese was delicious, but the service felt a bit aggressive, which knocked the experience down a notch. Still, a tasty and reliable stop when that bagel craving hits. Cozy Vibes! read more

I walked in and ordered a "bakers dozen" bagels. I asked him to slice them, and he doesn't say a thing. He gives me 12 bagels instead of the usual 14. I asked if you only get 12, since I ordered a baker's dozen. It's only when he's ringing me up that he says you only get 12 bagels if you get them sliced. I said it might be nice if you tell your customers that beforehand, since I had asked for a "baker's dozens." He even admitted that he probably should. OK, misunderstanding- so maybe throw in an extra bagel or something and everybody's happy- for customer service, etc.- a small gesture to keep a loyal customer? I go there often since I live two blocks away (just never asked them to slice the bagels before). But no, nothing. He just mumbled something about 'maybe next time I tell you only get 12 bagels.' I said there isn't going to be a next time. How about offer customer service? Slice them, toast them, whatever without tacking on fees and weird policies and always acting like I'm a bother just for walking into the store. I'm over their rudeness, added fees, and the bagels that are expensive but not even really that good and inconsistently fresh. Time to find a new place in the neighborhood. read more

Walking around for our first day in Brooklyn, we wanted to start off with a quick bagel. Bergen Bagel was recommended to us by a friend. We got the nova scotia salmon on a plain and an everything bagel, a black and white cookie, and an iced coffee. The bagels were delicious! The salmon tasted very clean and buttery, and as you can see we got tons of cream cheese. The cream cheese was full of flavor and very rich. Amazing! The black and white cookie was also very good, a nice cake texture with the creamy chocolate and sugar icing. I'm usually not a big fan of cake-like textures but this was very good. The man who helped us was extremely kind and helpful in the ordering process! He really made it less intimidating than one might expect to order food in New York. The girl behind us also got ketchup only on a bagel which was...interesting lol read more

Bergen Bagels is an absolute 'Yum.' We were on our way to see people when I had an urge for a muffin and cup of coffee. BB was definitely the place to stop. Very big store and even bigger selection of bagels, muffins, various types of cream cheeses. They even had a whole salmon and other fishes. Great friendly staff walked me through the 15 different muffins on display. I settled on the Blueberry. It was huge, it was delicious, exactly how a muffin like this should be. That along with the delicious coffee made it a good stop for me. My wife order a toasted everything bagel and a small vegetable cream cheese. A very good bagel and I was impressed with the amount of vegetables in the cream cheese. Unfortunately, that's not always the case. I a looking forward to a return visit as I'm usually in the area every couple of weeks. Good spot, well stocked, clean and a great staff. KUDOs to the team at Bergen Bagels. read more

Bergen Bagels - Welcome to Bergen Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Let's start with service. Efficient, fairly courteous but could use a smile. Next, overall the place is small. I arrived on Sunday at 9 am, 5 customers waiting for there orders and the place felt a little cramped. Now on to the food. As I am always in search of "the one" that has the best bagels, sorry Bergen Bagel not making my top 5. I'll go with #8. Bagels were fresh and just the right amount of chewability. Unfortunately, my BEC on an everything came out BEC on a plain. The real everything bagel that I also got with cream cheese was a everything but light on the everything seasonings (see the photos) Bottom line: Worthy of a 1 time visit but I will not be going back. My quest for the #1 bagel in NY continues. read more

Every morning I pass by this place and today, I had just enough time to stop in. I grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate chip muffin. I was super satisfied with my service. The men working that morning were fast and whoever made my coffee, did it just right. I have 0 complaints. I walked in at a time where it wasn't busy at all and it was a Friday morning (shocked to see it wasn't really busy) but I was thankful for that since I didn't have too much time to stand in a long line. My coffee was delicious and brewed strong enough to give me the energy that I did not naturally have. I'm a mom and that is what I expect from a coffee because I cannot stand being sluggish all day. There wasn't a lot of almond milk which is exactly how I prefer my coffee to be. You know how you can tell how good your coffee is going to be based on its color... this was the color that I wanted so I was so happy! The chocolate muffin is huge! I didn't finish it for breakfast. I ate a little less than half in one sitting. What really made it for me was that it wasn't overwhelming filled with chocolate chips. It had that perfect ratio of chocolate chip to quick bread. I like the extra touch of wrapping it in the Bergen Bagel wrapper. Overall, this place was better than I expected and I'll be back since I work nearby. read more

Pretty good bagels and cream cheese in the area. They get very busy on the weekends, so would recommend ordering for pickup online. I've also ordered their chicken salad sandwich , but thought the chicken salad was very mayo heavy though. I probably would not get that again, but otherwise a very reliable bagel spot. read more

Overpriced, charged me 10 dollars for a bagel with bacon and cheese. Weirdly specific aggressive signs everywhere- stuff that says like 20 MINUTES SITTING MAXIMUM and WE CHARGE 2.50 FOR SUBSTITUTIONS. Kinda feels like a police state in there with all the cameras. Anyways just go to a bodega this places' bagels aren't even worth it mine was stale anyways. Won't give it a 1 because my food wasn't horrible but there's way better options. Feel like that place is always empty for a reason. read more

Food 3/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 4/5 A solid spot with good portions. A very convenient spot for me since it was just a block away but not a memorable bagel.

Staff is always attentive and kind, so no complaints. Just a classic ny bagel spot. read more

Bergen bagels are my platonic ideal of a bagel. When I'm trying to eat low/er carb? They're the things that haunt me. When I'm an ocean away? They're the bagels I try to push out of my cravings because international plastic-bagged mini bagels are an insult to the noble BB (Bergen bagel). I really have never gone wrong here. Get an egg to make things breakfast-y! Go neutral and choose a norm-core homemade cream cheese. I love a toasted poppy bagel with scallion cream cheese because I'm a basic bagel bish. Yelp note: pair nicely with a hangover. read more

I knew coming to New York that I had to try some New York bagels, they did not disappoint. I got a blue berry bagel with blue berry cream cheese. The bagel was super chewy and warm, the cream cheese was a perfect mix of sweet and creamy. The service is why I only gave it 4 stars they were kinda rude and wanted us to order and leave instead of looking at the menu and deciding. I found it kinda odd since there was no one else in the shop. read more

Like some other reviewers said, be mindful that Bergen Bagels almost always has a line (even before the pandemic). I decided to come on a Sunday morning and ordered ahead of time -- the wait actually wasn't that bad -- it only ever got to 3 people waiting outside. I came for my every-so-often-treat of a NY lox and cream cheese on an everything bagel, capers, onions, and tomato of course. To be fair, it's been a recent food quest to find "the best" one in Brooklyn, and I haven't been that impressed yet. Bergen Bagel's was not any different, but it was set at a lower price point than others -- $13.01 (after tax). The bagels were fresh and lined against the wall in the style of many other NY staple joints, so I was excited to give it a go. When I got home, the bagel was cut in half and wrapped in their branded parchment paper, a nice subtle touch to set them apart from other places. The bagel itself was fine -- my partner commented that it was a bit too doughy, but I actually tend to focus on the crunch of the outside instead, and this delivered! The "everything" it was baked with could have been more substantial, but I got everything I needed in it. While the bagel was solid in my opinion, the salmon didn't have as great texture or taste as other places, but it did come in a standard amount -- however, there wasn't enough cream cheese to balance it out. Overall, there were some ups and downs about this sandwich: Ups -much cheaper than other places; $13.01 covered everything in a standard sandwich (capers, tomatoes, onions) -line was not as bad as expected -bagel was crispy -fair amount of salmon Things to Note -bagel was too doughy (I don't mind that, though; some of you may) -salmon not as fresh as other places -not enough cream cheese or "everything" baked onto the bagel. Again, I'm no expert, but I've been to two other places so far and am still looking for the one to beat them all! I think at $13.01 this lox and cream cheese sandwich is great, but I'm willing to splurge a bit more on this rare treat. read more

From fresh bakery smells to organized chaos. Come prepared to keep the line moving and grab and go. Fun fact: there are a few seats outside if you can snag them.

I paid $12.51 for this turkey bacon egg and cheese sandwich with an iced coffee today. I paid around $13 for a Cream cheese lox bagel in the past with an iced coffee.

We stayed with a friend who lived right next to Bergen Bagels! We stopped there just about every morning we were in NY. The bagels were always hot and fresh and pretty thick for size too. They had a lot of different cream cheese options which we really appreciated. Our favorite was the chives cream cheese! I got the bacon egg and cheese bagel which was very delicious and filling, and my boyfriend got the salmon-which he said he really enjoyed with the cream cheese.

Saw the great reviews at this location and I wanted to give it a shot. They take card on orders $5 and up No seating inside only counters where you can stand at and eat. Not much room to eat inside because it does get crowded. No seating outside either. Workers are nice and it's pretty quick Got the chicken cutlet sandwich it comes with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I got no mayo. It definitely tastes a lot better if you eat it fresh. Got home (15 mins later) and the chicken was so hard and dry. Warmed up the chicken and added spicy mayo and it was pretty good. I asked for the bagel not toasted but it was lightly toasted which made the bagel hard The everything bagel wasn't too bad not too heavy on the seasoning. Some bites you can tell it's an everything bagel, others it's like a plain bagel. Sundried tomato cream cheese is okay, light in sundried tomato flavor read more

High quality bagel in a relatively low quality area. Okay, the last part might be an exaggeration. I have nothing against Prospect Heights. It is a safe area with lots of nightlife and all that Brooklyn has to offer without it being in your face like nearby downtown does. The bagel is good, it tastes fresh and holds well. They have a tad bit of a sweetness too, which I like. However, outside of their "originals", everything else is hit or miss. They also make HUGE muffins, and when I asked the staff if they make them in house, I could not get a straight answer out of them. Unless I hear otherwise, I am going to take that as a no. I am not sure if they deserve the high praise some give them, but they definitely do not deserve a kick to the curb. Maybe or maybe not, that is how I see them. read more
