Assorted muffins.
Britt Z.

Update since my prior review from five years ago. I'm here all the time because they sell Martinelli's apple juice, which is my favorite! Convenience is key, and my office is just feet away. So, of course, I am here a few days a week. The girls working the front counter are super nice, and I like all of them. They are all friendly too, which is great. The bagels are popular in my office as well as the breakfast sandwiches. I heard they are very good. Today, I brought in muffins for my coworkers, and everyone liked them. They still have the coffee ice cubes, which is great, so your iced coffee won't get diluted. I'm off caffeine, even decaf, so for now, I am staying away. They do have good coffee, though. Located next to the Living Green Cafe.

I am a fan of this chain. I have one in Hollywood and I have always liked the bagels. I was happy to have found this location. The shop is in a strip mall with plenty of parking around. It has a big outdoor covered area. The inside is a good size and the place is nice and clean. I found the service good and the bagels good. You place your order at the counter and they give you a number. The coffees are self-serve. They do have a good variety of flavor coffees and creamers. someone brings your order when is ready to your table. I got the Williamsburg. It is what I usually get. Maybe it's me but the bagels at this location seem smaller. The sandwich did taste good. What I like about the chain is that it has a big window. sometimes you can watch them make bagels. It is pretty cool to watch.

When I was on vacation in Boca, I came to Brooklyn Water Bagel every single day--it quickly became my favorite spot! Their iced coffee is absolutely amazing, and I especially loved the coffee ice cubes. Such a clever touch that made a big difference. The bagels are incredible--perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. My go-to was the everything bagel with cream cheese and tomato--so simple but unbelievably delicious. The staff was always so friendly and welcoming; I was always greeted with a warm smile. I seriously miss this place now that I'm back home in Michigan. I wish we had one here!

Toasted Sesame Seed Bagel with butter
Joe L.

Was walking past this place and was lured in by the thought that maybe, just maybe, the bagels would be like those in New York City because they have water bats filled with water imported from Brooklyn. Guess what? It's true, got a toasted sesame bagel with butter, tasted just like the real thing!!

It's not my all time favorite to go to but they came thru for me. I actually had gone to the place a few doors down (Living Green) and had a terrible experience there-so I walked over and got an everything bagel scooped out toasted with an egg, spinach, cheese and mushroom. I was happy to get breakfast to join my friend because LG could not make breakfast even though it was breakfast time. I took it to go to sit outside of LG with my friend. I will remember this place now because it came thru for me (I know they are famous for their coffee ice cubes but I had already purchased a coffee at LG).

Always fantastic! The food is fresh as ever. The iced coffee is always on point with the iced coffee cubes. Def a go to spot for me!

The bagels are very very good. Unfortunately the egg sangawhiches do not deliver bc they don't use fresh eggs which is a huge no no when it comes to true bagel shops.

The "Leo" Everything bagel with egg, cream cheese, lox, and a lil onion.
Jennifer D.

Everyone was pleasant. Food was delicious as always! Tried the new "Leo" sandwich bagel and It's sooo good! Too big though, I had to take half home! We ate inside. Tables were clean. Love the 80's music. They brought our food quickly and even came by and picked up our trash. Bonus, they have a window so you can watch them make the bagels. Outside seating area is very nice. And lots of hot and iced coffee choices!! Very good place with great food!

Yes. 5 stars. Because after living in PBC for over 20 years, I've settled for places nearby. Boca…read moreis not nearby, but now that I've found this little gem, I will make the drive for simply the best bacon, egg & cheese on a sesame bagel. I saw the menu on here & thought it was going to be a big place with a long wait time. I was way off. The guy handling the order got everything right & the food came to our table outside very quickly. It truly reminded me of a Long Island BEC-SPC (IYKYK). I saw a couple reviews about the bagels being made elsewhere, but I have to say, mine was perfect. The mini potato cakes were perfect as well. There are only a couple of tables inside and a few more outside, but we sat right down. Noticed a lot of to-go orders as well. My husband got an egg sandwich except on a Kaiser roll & said it was okay but mine was better Want a great bagel, you'll find it here.

I've lived a block away for about 13 years and have never been here. I was hungry for a bagel…read moresandwich and figured I should finally try it so I stopped in. A simple bagel sandwich. I sat for about 30 minutes and watched people order after me and get their food before me. I reminded them about my order and they said "it's almost ready." I'm watching operations behind the counter and I could see they don't have much of a system for getting orders in and out efficiently. Not bad people, just bad management. This place does well only because they're one of the few bagel shops around. If any restauratuer knows how to actually get good food out efficiently, this market and neighborhood would be a gold mine. You would do a huge sit-down, take out and even delivery business. This plaza's days are numbered since they're going to build some massively expensive hotel here. I am sure a bagel shop will not be able to pay those rents so hopefully someone new will come up with a solution. This place ain't it.

Decided to wait for all the newness and hoopla surrounding this New York City transplant to give it…read morea fair evaluation. They have 10 to 12 options for various bagel sandwiches and it's mostly takeout. There are a few tables but they are small. The place was empty when I got there and I ordered a sesame bagel with nova cream cheese, avocado, and onion. The sesame bagel was severely undercooked even though they toasted it. It was not very good. The other sandwich was egg and cheese on an everything bagel. This bagel was a little better but still did not have the right consistency. The sandwiches were under $10 each and the place look clean but I will not be going back. With so many bagel options available this place falls to the bottom of my list. This definitely must be a franchise and I had heard a rumor that they send bagels down here half baked and finish them down here which I do not know if that is true but if it is they need to stop. Most likely would not come back

Good bagels for Boca. But if you're used to New York bagels, it's a bit disappointing honestly,…read moreespecially when they're pushing the legendary H&H name. So yeah the food isn't half bad, but the biggest downside is the ridiculous pricing they've come up with. We got an everything bagel with egg whites and avocado, a plain bagel with salmon and cream cheese, a plain bagel with salmon, avocado and salmon and 2 coffees and the bill came to over $60! Totally insane. And the bagels were OK, but like nothing special whatsoever. As for the coffee it was putrid, just total bitter, burnt tasting swill. I should note that my wife did say that she enjoyed the place and would give it 3.5 to 4 stars. However, I definitely would not return here. You can get a comparable or better bagel anywhere, and the coffee is 100x better at the Starbucks next door. Three stars at best.

This just bested the former gold standard for this sandwich (now not even edible)! The service was friendly and accommodating. I implore my flow Yelpers not to drive ratings down because of a condiment left out, a delivery gone awry or any other non food malfeasance out of control of the restaurant. I also wish Yelp management would consider allowing a code which would tell readers/Yelpers how the food was obtained? ( in house, pickup and delivery service and online vs in person and in person carry out?) Again I recommend Bagel Works, highly!

I've been coming here since they opened many, many years ago…read more Still my favorite place for the tastiest and freshest appetizing in South Florida. They are known for their "legendary tuna" and rightfully so. Hands down, the best around. I love the baked salmon salad and the cucumber salad. It's all delicious. There are no bad choices here, as it's all pretty fabulous. Throughout the years, I have been here for breakfast multiple times, and they have a nice selection of breakfast specials. You can't go wrong with any of their cream cheese spreads. I usually stick with the nova or veggie, only because they are my favorites. Bagelworks has been around forever and they have the reputation for being the best in Boca, and I couldn't agree more, as they really are the very best!

The bagels here are fresh enough that they don't need a toaster to begin with, which is exactly why I asked for it untoasted. Even with the unnecessary trip through the toaster, it was still a really good sandwich. The tuna salad is creamy, well seasoned, and they even let me sample it before ordering, which is always appreciated. Confidence in your food says a lot. The pickle on the side had that perfect crisp snap every good deli pickle should have. The only thing that missed the mark was the macaroni salad. The flavor is there, but the pasta was overcooked and a little mushy. If they tighten that up, it's an easy win. The restaurant itself is surprisingly large, clean, and comfortable, and everyone I dealt with was genuinely friendly. Overall, this is the kind of neighborhood bagel shop you hope to find. Good food, good people, and just enough personality to make you want to come back.
