If I lived in GR I'd eat a chopped cheese everyday! 40 minutes away from me but the chopped cheese makes it all worth it!

Fantastic place to grab a bagel sandwich! Absolute pro with the griddle and be sure to add cream cheese on the sandwich even if you do a bacon or sausage egg and cheese. Staff was awesome multitasking and making a couple great sandwiches. I've been wanting to try this place for a long time and it matched what I hoped for. Get in and give them a try! No photos because we ate it too fast at the hospital read more

We were looking for a good sandwich for lunch and tried out this place for the first time and enjoyed our experience! There was someone who greeted us right away and handed us some laminated menus. There was not a lot of seating so it felt like more of a takeout spot. I ordered the Hot Bacon & Cheese with a side of fries! Let me tell you this lasted me three meals! It was so tasty and good even later on in the day. The fries were crispy and good! Would definitely come back for a bagel and their breakfast sometime! read more

I had a delicious Bacon egg and cheese breakfast bagel! I picked pork bacon as my meat and a garlic parmesan bagel. I also ordered a 16oz coffee. The coffee was full and steaming hot when I went to pick it up, and the lady behind the counter kindly gave me a tip about calling ahead to order next time instead of ordering pickup through the door dash app as it would save me 30%! When ordering through the app, the prices are a bit higher than in store because they also have to pay doordash a fee, so I'm sharing her guidance with everyone else just as an FYI! My breakfast bagel was so yummy! The bagel was steaming hot, and they were generous with the fillings. read more

I honestly don't frequent this area of downtown that much but had some spare time before a class recently so I stopped in to Brooklyn Bodega for a light bite. The menu includes breakfast items and sandwiches/wraps made to order. This is pretty much a takeout only spot, they have a few stools and a bar rail but I'd recommend taking your food to go. I ordered the Jersey Boy (sausage, egg, and cheese) on an asiago bagel as I had heard their bagels were really good. I am honestly not the world's biggest bagel fan, especially when it comes to breakfast sandwiches, but I really liked this bagel sandwich. The bagel was cheesy flavored and soft to bite. The egg was so fluffy and steaming hot, yet not overcooked at all. A classic breakfast staple, so well done. I'd love to come back for a sub for lunch. They are only open til 3 most days so be sure to add it to your list of lunch spots. read more

My son and I had our first Brooklyn Bodega experience today! The Jersey Boys with cream cheese was the best we've had. The bagel was nicely toasted and everything came together perfectly! Staff was fantastic and very kind! This is more of an 'order and take' place but they do offer some bar like seating toward the back by the register. We will definitely be coming back!!! read more

Great service, amazing food, quality ingredients! I had the Jersey boy with the jalapeño cream cheese on a Asiago bagel... delicious! Chopped cheese, chefs kiss! It does take time, but who are we to rush a delicacy read more

First of all, the owner was so kind and friendly. I was happy to patron this place because of the welcoming environment, the tips and tricks for building a delicious bagel sandwich that hit the spot before work. For $10 I got a Asiago bagel with egg, cheese, onion and tomato with some cream cheese. It hit the spot. Service was quick. They have a cash discount. I appreciate the friendly environment and can do attitude. I hope this place is successful! read more

Brooklyn Bodega - Jersey Boy with jalapeño cream cheese on Asiago bagel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

Great addition to the corner of Jefferson and Fulton! The owners instantly greeted me and walked me through their menu and made some suggestions. I opted for the Jersey Boy breakfast sandwich which is sausage, egg, and cheese on any bagel I pick, so I went with an everything bagel. The owner mentioned I could make it a combo to include a drink and potatoes, which I did! Everything was made fresh right in front of me and within 5min, I was walking out with a delicious breakfast. The portions were large/fair for the price and they had a ton of drinks to pick from. I wish they had some juice options for breakfast but I still found something I liked. I'm excited to have another option nearby and to try some of their other options. They sell their breakfast menu all day as well! Give these guys a shot. read more

I am a bread girl and I LOVED the bread on this sub! It was perfectly toasted on the inside and soft and fluffy on the outside. The portion was huge as you can see in this photo, I was so full from just half of this sub but couldn't resist and ate the whole thing. The service was quick and friendly. I'll definitely be back to try some more items! read more

My breakfast sandwich was cooked to perfection and the staff were friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend!

The chopped cheese is the best I've had in the area so far. The banana peppers are a really good touch. The service here is great. The breakfast sandwiches also slap too. Highly recommend read more

This was one of the best sandwiches I ever put in my mouth. I came back to yelp to look and see what I ordered previously, because I plan on traveling to GR next week and wanted to be reminded. I'm sad that I never reviewed the actual spot. Service was nice- if youre from from NY you know the kind of service. Meat was fresh, sandwich was delicious, wait a tad bit long, bit it was worth the wait. read more

Was in town over the weekend djing a wedding. Some friends of mine from New York who were also in town came to eat lunch and mannnnn the food was so great. I ordered the Brooklyn Boy sandwich (ham egg + cheese) and I got it on a honey oat bagel. We also split the chopped cheese, which, I was thinking about all day. Got to meet the owner and his super nice family who made the sandwiches. I had to drive back on Sunday and was sad that I couldn't get a chopped cheese to go on the way back to Chicago. I'm posting this on a Tuesday and I'm still thinking about the Chopped Cheese from Saturday. It's only a three hour drive, I might just drive back up for the day to get a couple. Please go support this black owned small business. I promise it's worth it. read more

These are some of the best bagels I've ever had. They were fluffy, crunchy and not too thick to overwhelm the rest of the sandwich. My husband and I got a sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches that hit the spot and were somehow juicy for breakfast sandwich? I don't know how they did it but so yummy, would recommend!! read more

Brooklyn Bodega - Bagel with sausage, egg and cheese on the top bagel! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

We love breakfast sandwiches and there are not a ton of places with unique and super delicious ones in town. The downtown location is tough for us to get to unfortunately but we finally made it for take out on a Sunday morning. Everything was ready on time. I had a breakfast sandwich with bacon, egg, and cheese. It was so good! The bagel was awesome and it was cheesey and gooey. The potatoes were also excellent. I hope to make it down here more often! read more

I dream of their chopped cheese sub, always fantastic! And service is genuinely friendly. A business we fully support!

We grabbed some bagel sandwiches for breakfast. Both were very underwhelming. I was surprised at the skimpy portion for $9.

I love this place. If you want a "baconeggadcheesespkonarol".... they get you. The chopped cheese is a legitimate taste from NYC. My personal favorite is that it's easily two meals worth of food. Boarshead meats, cooked fresh on a flat top to order. Located right off of Fulton with good street parking, I would be in trouble if they were open 24/7 like their their namesake. Owners and staff make you smile and appreciate your business. read more

Really happy to have this close to my office! Love to see Michigan favorites Vernon's and Better Made potato chips in stock - but the sandwich was the star of my meal. Perfectly made, delicious, and a bonus was the service was amazing. Such a friendly place, I will be back for sure to check out their breakfast sandwiches! read more

I was introduced to this gem by some good friends. They use quality ingredients, boars head meat and have a good general vibe. You definitely get your moneys worth. I ate my sandwich twice and was fully satisfied, even with the leftovers. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

East Coast/I-95 people: the bread is on point and the fries are fire. You know what that means. Everyone else: On the east coast anywhere north of DC a sandwich shop is judged by its bread. It's meat and cheese quality better be on point or you're def. Not gonna make it. Well it's boars head here, so enough said. But the bread is what sets apart a crappy shop and a good shop. They have good bread. If you want to see what people out East are talking about when they talk about the bread at a deli or sandwich shop, come here. I spoke to the woman who owns the shop next door, first thing she said was "oh the bread!" And I knew I was in for a real treat. The heroes/hoagies were straight gold. Come try the best the city has to offer and a true out East sandwich. Obv the bagels are good too. read more

Good lord, that's yummy! My partner and I both got the Egg and Peppers on the everything bagel, and added cheese. We had been looking for our bagel spot, and had tried everyone else. We finally found it here, and boy were we missing out! The staff were ultra friendly, and got our sandwiches out hot and fast. The ambiance truly did remind me of some of the bagel shops we've been to in New York. We will absolutely be back as regulars. Yummy yummy yummy! Put that bagel in ma tummy! read more

Nice people and a tasty breakfast to start the day. I went with the egg/potato/cheese sandwich on a cheddar herb bagel. Very flavorful and the bagel had a nice consistency too! Worth the short walk from the hotel district read more

Super nice people work here! But the bagels are not good. Super puffy and fluffy, you'd be run out of NY if you tried to sell these there. No scallion cream cheese on the menu. I should've known something was up when the bagels weren't displayed in the wire baskets. The lady took them out of a big plastic tub out of view. The set up of the shop is very sparse and most of the cold cases are empty. I have to say the Everything topping was absolutely delicious. The actual bagel needs a lot of work. read more

Food was so good every time I have come in. Service is great and quick, easy in and out in 10-15 minutes. Was so good that I have eaten lunch here 4 times in the last two weeks. I have had the chicken tender sub with fries (dank), chop cheese (dank), grilled cheese with bacon & breakfast potatoes (super dank), Parmesan garlic bagel (delicious), and the cheesecake cones are sooooo good, only had the cookies and cream one of those. Also the bread they use for the subs is so soft and amazing. Only took a picture of the tender sub. Needless to say I will be back. read more

Seemed like it got heated up in a microwave. The bagel was not "plump" it was more like a soft deflated bagel.
