Went to Zabar's Cafe. Two guys working, a mostly empty shop. One prepared a bagel with cream cheese the whole time. The other stood with his back to me and talked to his coworker. I waited 8 minutes and left. Walked up to Broad Nosh. Shop was packed. One guy taking orders for everyone in line. Three guy assembly line preparing orders. Two women ringing up. I was out in 3 minutes. (Yes, I timed it. I'm petty.) Broad Nosh Bagels wins. Zabar's Cafe is playing little league. read more

Ordered a breakfast sandwich on Saturday for pick up. After 20 minutes went inside. Stood in the back corner waiting for FORTY more minutes. Got my sandwich and jumped in my car as I was late meeting friends. After driving a bit, open sandwich and it's covered in melted cheese. Ordered no cheese, lactose allergy. Threw it away. Waste of an hour plus $. Good for you for being busy but get your shit together. read more

Solid bagel sandwiches. The broad nosh sandwich was just what I needed - egg, spinach greens, avocado and I subbed with tofu cream cheese spread. The actual bagels themselves are poofy and large, although I had mine a few hours later and it wasn't quite as good as when you have a fresh New York bagel. They were sold out of a bunch of bagel varieties by the time I came by, so recommend coming in the morning. read more

Waiting nearby at a park and walked to this gem; the bagel was delicious! Eggs were light and fluffy and the food was ready pretty quickly! read more

BEC on an everything did not disappoint! It's large - half was good for breakfast for me, and then I got to enjoy the second half as a snack later on :). I was impressed with the extensive smoked fish section. Would try one of those next time! Small but efficient. Lots to see and smell in here. Couple of tables, but would recommend grabbing to go. Hot coffee was a nice accompaniment, and they have an eclectic assortment of common convenience items as well as a beverage fridge! read more

Ugh, really disappointing dry asiago bagel. Was a terribly hot, humid day, so very stuffy/uncomfortable, unfortunately, and possibly contributing to the staleness of the bagel? Very friendly though! I much prefer the times sq location, so very disappointing. read more

the heart of Midtown Manhattan, Broad Nosh Bagels is exactly what a New York bagel shop should be -- bustling, aromatic, and unapologetically generous. From the moment you walk in, the air smells like fresh-baked dough and roasted coffee, setting the perfect tone for a classic New York breakfast. Let's start with the standout: the Sesame Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese. The sesame bagel is perfection -- lightly crisp on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with that signature New York bite that only comes from a proper boil-and-bake. The toasted sesame seeds add just the right nutty aroma. Layered with silky lox and a thick spread of smooth cream cheese, every bite is a balance of texture and flavor -- salty, rich, and impossibly fresh. The lox itself is vibrant and tender, and you can taste the quality. It's a timeless pairing done exactly right. And don't skip the Potato Latke. Golden brown, crispy on the edges, and fluffy in the middle, it's the kind of comfort food that feels homemade yet perfectly executed. A touch of sour cream or applesauce on the side makes it shine even more. It's the hidden gem of the menu -- a crispy, savory bite that rounds out the bagel experience beautifully. Service at Broad Nosh is quick, friendly, and efficient -- even when the line stretches out the door. It's the kind of place where you feel the rhythm of the city: everyone in motion, but the food always made with care. read more

Broad Nosh Bagels - Close your eyes and savor the flavors ! - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

The absolute best bagels in NYC! Many varieties and always fresh! I often go there for an everything bagel with chive cream cheese! It's delicious and a treat! When there is a line it moves quickly. The staff does a great job! The ambiance is good, but the food is great! I even had them cater a major party for my family. We had about 70 people including children. Everyone complemented me on how exceptional the food was. From fresh sliced nova, to the baked salmon to the sable and whitefish were all raved about. The egg salad and tuna salads were also amazing! Not to mention the beautiful platters! This place is the way to go! read more

This place has gotten better since I last tried. I don't love their sweet bagels but their savory is great. The Asiago bagel with the bacon spicy cream cheese was freaking amazing. The bagels are big and crunchy after being toasted. read more

Excited to try this place, but ordered a Nova Sandwich to take to Central Park. Opened it up and saw there was no Nova! $18 for no nova a bit wild and disappointing. Also, sesame bagel was not toasted on the other bagel order as requested. Won't be coming back :( read more

You ask for a. Gel that's toasted (2x!) and they literally don't toast it at all. Happens consistently. I'm done

The bagels and choices were out of this world. The owner is present and interacts with the customers.

There is a very rude male employee here who wears glasses and is responsible for dealing with the pick up orders. When I arrived at the restaurant, my order was ready, and I wanted a bag with handles to carry it. The worker first denied my request, stating that the bag I had already was sufficient. I wanted a bag with handles, he proceeds to be very rude with me and demand that I pay two dollars for a paper bag....I don't understand where the attitude and entitlement is coming from but you can rest assured I'll never step foot in here again. read more

It was busy when we got there which is always a good sign! The service was quick. I got the lox with the scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel. It was so good and definitely recommend! read more

Dare I say, Broad Nosh might be my favorite bagel in NYC. The pastrami, egg & cheese is just insane. Every time I get it, it's incredible. My little Sunday splurge treat. The line moves efficiently in here even on a weekend morning, and they have many options to get you the perfect bagel. So happy to have this on the upper west side! read more

Good and messy in basically every sense. The bagels are fresh, soft and delicious. But the lines (on a weekend morning at least) are chaotically long and slow. My Broad Nosh Special (avocado, egg, cream cheese and micro greens) was tasty but also a cream cheese catastrophe in my hands. I would not recommend eating on the way to your niece's baptism, for instance. Still, it was good enough to be worth the 30 minute wait. But you should know ahead of time that a quick bite this is not. read more

It's a neighborhood favorite so weekend mornings and brunch - order online and pick up, otherwise, expect to wait in line. There're only 4 tables inside so best for take out. Great variety, also have sandwiches and wraps. Tons of different cream cheeses. The bagels are huge. But the NY favorite bagel with cream cheese and lox will run you about $20 so might consider sharing with a friend :) read more

I recently discovered this eatery, since it's close to one of the places where I work. Here's my reaction to it: Excellent and polite service! Caring and gentle employees! Delicious and affordable food! Got their lunch special twice in a row (with scallion cream cheese and added onions), and it was delightful. This is a busy place at lunchtime, but their staff members keep their smiles wide and their vibes high. Love it, and plan to return. : ) Thanks, all! Peace & Love, Kat read more

Service is good. Guy takes orders as you walk in the door. They made us a mango cup special because it wasn't on the shelf. They really load up the bagels with spread and it's really delicious. Half bagel would be good because they are huge. read more

Simply delicious, period. Nice staff, but super busy. Ambiance is typical of a New York City bagel shop.

This was a SOLID bagel with a mouth watering cream cheese. The bagel was very soft and fluffy. The crispy cheddar on the bagel was DELICIOUS! The jalapeño cream cheese honestly stole the show. It was not too strong but it wonderfully flavorful. It was zesty and had these jalapeño bits that added a lovely crunch. They did not skimp on the amount of cream cheese which was great. The service was very quick and the servers were SUPER sweet! read more

Wildly underwhelming experience. My order of a plain bagel with extra strawberry cream cheese came out to $7.89 post tax--eyebrow raise, but I kept on trucking: Pros: - Open late, one of few places in the vicinity able to service a bagel craving at 4PM - "Extra" cream cheese exceeded expectations, close to 1/2c on a single bagel Cons: - Extra cream cheese would be a perk if it weren't borderline inedible. Oddly fluorescent pink color without any discernible flecks of strawberry present. Flavor profile was standard whipped cream cheese + an overwhelming aftertaste of red-40 - The bagel itself was subpar as well. Dense & gummy texture, akin to undercooked pastry dough read more

I love having Broad Nosh bagels in my neighborhood, but...:some feedback for management - your bagels are getting too "fat" and doughy, some of them look more like buns than bagels. When you first opened I remember slimmer bagels. Can you add some thinner bagels to your mix? read more

2nd bagel ever that I had in NY, and it was better priced and more delicious than the first! The bagel wasn't so hard to bite and the amount of smoked salmon was just right. It was pretty crowded when I went, but the service isn't too bad. Ended up asking to share a table because of how busy they were. Not a whole lot of seating. read more

Classic NY style bagels as good (maybe better) than any others you'll get anywhere! They hit on every aspect, with a nice thin crust, and a great tasting chewy interior and dense enough to hold the schmear, but still light! Every flavor you could want! Nothing overly fancy with sandwiches and basic coffee, but the bagels and the cream cheese schmears were exceptional! read more

delicious bagels and sandwiches as well, fast service, plenty of options and good seating.

Broad Nosh Bagels has been in regular rotation since late 2020 / early 2021, when it opened a location at Broadway near W. 86th. We realized only recently that some food reviewer types hold this place in as high esteem as we do. And for good reason! Broad Nosh serves warm, quality bagels fresh from the oven all day long. (I've gotten warm ones at 4 p.m.!) The crusts are perfect, delightfully chewy, made in the traditional style (boiled and baked). The innards are a little softer than Tal's, but have enough substance to stand up to a heavy application of schmear if that's what you're into. Or chopped liver and cucumber. Or lox with all the fixin's. Or.... Bagels are larger than traditional (but are thankfully smaller than the size of a baby's head, unlike Absolute's). There is usually a discernible hole. Everything bagels come with only the tops seasoned, which I consider a ding... but they are generously applied on top and quite delicious. If you're not a hidebound traditionalist, cheddar jalapeno bagels pack a real punch. And they have all sorts of interesting cream cheeses, including a bacon and scallion concoction (suggested flavor name: Kashrut Rebellion), and a birthday cake cream cheese with sprinkles (looks nasty, but it's effective kid bait). The more we go to Broad Nosh, the more they start closing the gap on Tal's -- especially when you throw in the friendly, helpful staff, the wonderful lentil soup in winter, and the baked-on-site bagels that almost always seem to be fresh from the oven. p.s. An everything bagel eaten more than 12 hours after purchase was still fresh enough that it didn't need toasting. Wow. read more

The quest continues for Nu Yawk's best bagel. I've been to Broad Nosh's sister store on 58th St. and they didn't disappoint. See that review from an earlier time. Broadway's Broad Nosh almost as good. First, nice tables to sit at curbside and watch the world go by. Unfortunately, only 4 tables inside so if it's raining or snowing or any kinda inclement weather, then you're taking it on the go. Service was quick and efficient. Also to note, handicap ramp accessible. Lastly, the goods. First the cawfee. Not so hot. Wasn't cause it was over mooed. Actually, a little on the darker side which is the way I like it. But again, not so hot. Next, what you been waiting for. My everything with plain cream cheese. Seemed over baked on one side and not so baked on the other. Did the baker forget it was in the oven? Also seasonings were only on one side Mostly sesame and poppy and barely any salt or anything else. The bagel chewed ok with the right amount of crunch. Overall, this bagel experience is good but not as good as the 58th St sister. See my live review and follow me on instagram @bagelmavennyc read more

Food was delicious. Bagels were made quickly. Coffee was strong and hot. Staff was kind of rude, but I guess it may be a NY thing. My husband understands Spanish more and I asked one of the staff members if he spoke Spanish. Guy just turned to person next to him and mumbled something and laughed. He clearly spoke Spanish, like we Mexicans say, "Se le mira el nopal en la frente." IDK maybe they are not allowed to speak a foreign language. Other than that, cashier was super helpful and friendly. Kudos to her! read more

I will start by saying that while the bagels are very good the service is ATROCIOUS!!!! I order here all the time - multiple times a week and the customer service is now just nonexistent. I constantly have issues with their delivery but I still order from here and generally let it slide. Today I called about a delivery order because there was a glitch in the app and they HUNG UP ON ME THREE TIMES and refused to make my order correctly. Their prices have skyrocketed (like everywhere else) but the least they can do is make an order correctly and not hang up on paying customers. read more

Broad Nosh Bagels is a newer bagelry in the UWS, and we were recommended to check this place out. The menu offers breakfast items, such as egg benedict on potato latkes, sandwiches, and bagels with shmears. We ordered: +an Everything bagel with Vegetable Cream Cheese +a Plain bagel with Jalapeno Cream Cheese Even though we stopped by earlier in the morning, the bagels were just not good - they were kind of stale and super chewy, and not at all what I expected them to be. The cream cheese was also not creamy, but kind of hardened, which you you had to basically tear the bagel into pieces to get any of the shmear game on. Staff had the line move along, and they were pretty efficient. Not sure if we went on an off day, but no dice! +stale, chewy bagels +hardened cream cheese +efficient service read more

This is truly an amazing New York bagel!!!! I have had many bagels in my life and this is one of if not the best bagel I have had. The cream cheese also is amazing and so good I got the lox and scallions and scallion cream cheese and it was amazing on my everything bagel. The service was great and quick with the staff being nice as well. This is a small shop so it can get cramped but it's part of what made this such a cool experience. No pictures of the bagel because it was gone before I could get one. read more

They only seed one side of a bagel. Tal seeds both sides. Also Tal's bagels are not as sweet.

The service sucks, why have a woman in front of the counter to take orders if she seems to hate doing it. The bagel was also just okay. I wouldn't recommend. read more

Straight up, I loved this bagel. I was so pleasantly surprised by everything-- I ordered a ham, egg, and cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel on their website. It was ready 10min before their estimate, and there was an extremely generous amount of every single ingredient inside. Sometimes I've found that bagel stores skimp out on the ham or the cheese or the egg, but I did not find that here. I loved how much stuff they packed inside. And even though it was full of stuff, I still found that I was able to eat everything with no mess as it all stayed inside the bagel. It's an ART and a SCIENCE. I sat down to eat this maybe 10min after I picked it up, and the outside of the bagel was still crunchy, while the inside was soft and chewy. Plus, this bagel came to $8.70 with tax. I've paid more for a bagel that gave me much less. I would 1000% get this again, and I'm super excited to try their cream cheeses as well! read more
