    bagel with egg & cheese
    Alexandra S.

    I love the bagels with egg and cheese from here!!!! I'm a regular here. They are excellent and consistent. The service is great. The people who work here are kind and remember my order. They're also very quick. There are tables to sit at too if you need. I love this spot!!!

    Splitting #10the eggs Benedict and #6 the over easy with virgins ham. Comes with "hot" only coffee or tea.

    Horrible menu with mostly unappealing options. Extremely unfriendly staff. Doesn't seem hygienic.

The prices are just right and three of us ate with 4 beverages and tip for 65$. Not bad for New York. We had the pastrami on a plain bagel and two of the salmon specials on everything bagels. SO GOOD.

We stopped in around 9:30 AM on a Saturday, and the place was buzzing--a clear sign of its popularity. While it is strictly a "to-go" spot, the efficiency of the operation makes the morning rush manageable. The Logistics & Ordering The menu is expansive, spanning three screens with an incredible variety of bagel types, cream cheese flavors, meats, and cheeses. Despite the line, the ordering process was straightforward. A major plus: you have the option to have your bagel toasted before they assemble the sandwich. Our coffees were ready within 2-3 minutes, and the sandwiches followed about 10 minutes later--very reasonable given how busy they were. The Food I went with a classic Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on an Egg Bagel. * The Bagel: The egg bagel itself was phenomenal. It had that perfect, authentic texture that makes NYC bagels famous. * The Build: The sandwich was very generously portioned. Every bite was delicious, well-balanced, and exactly what you want from a hearty breakfast sandwich. The "Extras" One of the most charming and unexpected parts of BTS is their candy selection. They carry an array of nostalgic and "internet-famous" treats I didn't even realize were still in production (or existed at all!). Keep an eye out for: * Dr. Pepper Tic Tacs * Krispy Kreme Doughnut Jelly Beans * Strawberry Creams * Pickle Candy The Verdict Whether you're a local or just passing through, this is a top-tier spot for a reliable, high-quality NYC breakfast. Just be prepared for a crowd, but know that the payoff is worth the wait. If you are looking for a quintessential NYC bagel breakfast sandwich, Bagel to Sandwich (BTS) on W 40th is a must-visit.
