    I heard about Cheech's Bagels over Instagram and decided to walk over to try them out since we had the day off. I like that you order at the cashier, which is kind of unlike every other bagel spot in the neighborhood. I had the egg and cheese on an egg bagel and this was really good. I really liked that the eggs had a soft scrambled texture. The tots with the all day sauce was fantastic. I would get that sauce on the side and put it on everything. There's plenty of seating inside and the place is super cozy. I think it's also the only bagel spot in the area that has indoor seating.

    My trip to Cheech's Bagels was great. I was apprehensive about finding a parking spot but I lucked out. Walked the few blocks and found it very close to Holland Tunnel. Signage reminiscent of Cheers. Greeted by a friendly server. I ordered a French toast bagel with sausage egg and cheese and an iced coffee. Promptly served up with a smile. Sat down and noticed the sandwich had scrambled eggs rather than the usual fried eggs. I bit in and it was yummy. The bagel was chewy and crunchy. Really had a nice French Toast taste a d was covered in powdered sugar. Sausage was thick cut and excellent. The scrambled eggs tasted good but made the sandwich messy. Still powered through. I would come back here again but next time I'm asking for a fried egg. Bagel selection very traditional but they had some interesting options for lunch for a future trip.

    16oz Iced Draft Oat Milk Latte (~$6)

    Ordered: 16oz Iced Draft Oat Milk Latte (~$6) The Lox (~$16): cucumbers, tomato, capers, red onions, dill, chives, salmon lox, and regular cream cheese; on an everything bagel, toasted & scooped Aya's take: It's been a while since I've had a NY/NJ-style bagel so as soon as that craving hit, I found myself at Cheech's. It was 10:30am on a Sunday so as you can imagine, they were busy. However, it didn't seem like they were so busy that I had to wait 20 minutes for my order. While waiting, I observed a lot of inefficiencies particularly around the food delivery platforms. They really need to have those go to a separate line for pick up and separate kitchen staff (at least during rush hour). I got the 16oz Iced Draft Oat Milk Latte which is by La Colombe. I've had this before and it tasted exactly as I expected. It was light, creamy, and gave me the caffeine kick I needed. I'm so happy to say the wait was worth it because The Lox was actually so good! It came with all the toppings you could want on this classic sandwich - from the fresh salmon lox to tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. They put a healthy amount of cream cheese and my only complaint here is that I wish I was able to choose which cream cheese flavor I want (maybe I can but that didn't seem like an option when I was looking at the menu online). Also, The Lox seemed to be an #iykyk order because it wasn't listed anywhere in the store. The everything bagel had great flavor and I'm glad they toasted & scooped it out as I requested. The decor inside is also pretty cool but it's hard to enjoy it when there's a mob of people standing around either ordering or waiting for their orders. Decent spot and hope they figure out some logistics to make it a better experience.

    egg shell i didn't eat accidentally in bagel.
    Kelly E.

    Before i got a whole egg shell in a bite of the bagel i really enjoyed it! I will definitely try this place again but my first experience have crunching on an egg shell was not the best. please be more careful with the eggs next time

    Everything Bacon & Egg Combo, Cup a Tots, Cold Brew

    Cold brew: amazing. Everything bacon egg and cheese: fantastic. Tator tots: superb. Vibes were immaculate. Staff was super friendly. A bit pricey, but the quality and taste of the food makes up for it.

    No dogs allowed!

    I actually really like the food here. The pork roll, egg and cheese on a bagel is fantastic. However, I have been here twice and each time they have allowed dogs in the restaurant. Mind you, I love dogs, just not while I'm eating. Also, the corgi was really shedding. Gross!

    Blueberry bagel with "churro" butter.

    We discovered Cheech's bagels after our flight at JFK was canceled. We had to wait two more days to fly out, so we found a hotel in Jersey City and decided to try out the local food scene. Cheech's is an absolute gem!! Fabulous food-LOTS of lox was on my bagel AND my bagel was gluten free!! Ivan is a BOMB bagel assembler!! Superb and caring service. Stephanie was so polite and helpful. We spoke to her on the phone and also ordered with her from the counter. Austin saw us at the counter and after he was finished making a coffee drink, came over to our table to see what we needed! And he makes a fabulous chai latte! Ambiance was cozy and charming! Great seating and the feel was so positive. We ordered bagels to take back to Oregon with us. We also sampled the blueberry bagel with Ivan's special churro butter-amazing. I'm hoping they can ship to Oregon!

    Delicious bagels, great ambience, and friendly service! I love the way they season and cook the eggs (so fluffy!) and how they offer different (free) sauce options for the bagel sandwiches!

    I've had Ten Thousand Coffee on my to-go list for the LONGEST. I finally went for the first time…read moreand there were so many drinks I wanted to try so I ended up buying 3. 1. The Jeju Green Tangerine Matcha honestly just tastes like a tangerine selter drink but in the best way, because I don't typically enjoy seltzer or carbonated beverages. I really enjoy the flavor and the carbonation isn't too strong, probably because I brought it home to drink. I don't really taste the matcha but I would definitely still order this again. 2. Matcha Einspanner. This is my first time having an Einspanner so I have no idea what I was expecting but this is DELICIOUS. It's so silky and smooth and the TASTE is just right up my alley. The matcha is light but you can still taste it. Absolutely, would drink this all the time if I could. 3. Purple Sweet Potato Latte. This. This. Omg, why haven't I tried this sooner?! The first sip and initial taste, I almost tasted nothing, just milk. And then all of a sudden, there's an explosion of flavor in your mouth. As a sweet potato lover, I was in heaven. I have absolutely no words for this drink, just try it. 100/10 recommend. This is probably my favorite one out of the 3 that I bought. I went around ... 2:45PM on a Friday and most of the seats were taken, if I remember correctly. There were a decent amount of seats and the space was decent. I liked the minimal aesthetic they had for the design of the interior. Not to forget, the staff at the register was absolutely wonderful, she answered all my questions, she's so sweet. I think I'm disappointed that I haven't tried this place sooner. Y'all get out of your comfort zone and try the Purple Sweet Potato Latte !! Or if not, just try this place out. I will definitely be recommending the Purple Sweet Potato Latte to all my family and friends.

    The shop was nice and clean and it wasn't too busy when we stopped by…read more I ordered the tiramisu einspänner, which was exactly what it sounded like a generous dollop of tiramisu on top of an einspänner latte. While it was a fun and unique drink, I probably should have opted for something else. The topping was literally like actual tiramisu rather than just tiramisu flavoring, and it felt like there was more ice and tiramisu than latte. Personally, I would have preferred more of the tiramisu flavor without the full tiramisu texture mixed into the drink. That said, it was an interesting concept and I'm glad I tried it. I'd definitely be open to coming back and trying another latte on a future visit.

It's pricey, but welcome to FiDi. My one complaint is they try to upsell you. Like, I'm sure your pastry that's unique to Puerto Rico and that I've never had before is delicious, but I need to get going and I don't want to dip into my 401k for it.

    Walking the streets close to my hotel I stumbled across a big PuertoRican flag infront of a…read morebusiness and I knew I wanted to check out what it was. It happened to be 787 Coffee which I have visited plenty of times on the island and enjoy. With excitement and in Spanish I tell the cashier that I was happy to come across this place as I have tried them out in PR. How is it that this "jibara" apparently from Maricao, spoke to me in broken English while I am talking to her in our native language, total fail. Anyhow, I ordered the coquito hot latte with an extra shot of rum and oat milk, fine, I paid $11 for a very small coffee. Now what I can't believe is that the quesito pastry was $8. I really wanted it but it was not until I paid that I then noticed the price. I sat to eat it while I waited for my name to be called as mentioned by the cashier. I walked around looking at everything, the music very loud and hard for people sitting to have conversations, the place is very colorful and with many PR sayings, however the place also feels very Americanized with the music and layout. I still awaited my name to be called minutes later, but nothing. I approached the cashier, who was just standing there, to ask about my coffee and she wasn't able to tell me so she asked the barista steps away from her. He pointed to a cofre sitting on their counter, it had my name, and when I pointed out that I was waiting for my name to be called, she shrugged her shoulders and smiled like she didn't care. The coffee by now was not all that hot, I never tasted any rum or coquito flavor and felt I wasted my time at this place. What's more upsetting is that I left a nice tip for a service that was not provided. They couldn't even bring the coffee ti my table once they realized it was sitting there and they forgot to call my name. You can find better service elsewhere.
