    BEC on jalapeño cheddar
    Eric M.

    I didn't come once but TWICE this past weekend. Nothing beats a fresh NY bagel from Curley's. Nice and fluffy, plenty of variety of bagels and options to choose from. The special (not pictured) was a Spicy everything bagel and I think it may be my new fave bagel of all time. Staff super friendly and able to offer suggestions, plenty of variety of bagels to drinks. Place is small, but cute, Modern and clean.

    Curley's sourdough bagels are delicious! They are lighter and chewier than a traditional bagel. So far I've tried: -Rosemary salt bagel with black truffle cream cheese -Za'atar bagel with gochujang cream cheese -Jalapeno cheddar bagel with gochujang cream cheese The jalapeno cheddar bagel was my favorite! You could see the jalapeno slices baked into the bagel and it had a tiny bit of a kick. The gochujang cream cheese paired well with it but it wasn't spicy on its own. Keep an eye out for the sign in the store displaying their seasonal bagel and schmear flavors. The sandwich menu also looks really good. The shop is small inside with no seats, but there are a few benches outside.

    Lox royale

    Came at 12:20 PM on a Sunday and there was a short line that moved pretty fast. I got the lox royale on rosemary salt with vegan cc, which was sooo good. Would get it on a different bagel next time though because there is a slight upcharge for the rosemary, and the flavor was kind of lost in all the other flavors anyway. Also got some dry bagels to take home: Rosemary salt, whole wheat and apple cider cinnamon were all great. Sourdough bagels rule. Sadly they were out of my favorite bagel type (everything). Next time!

    I'm not being biased but every time I get a bagel here it hits. The place is super nice the staff are great the owner is always there working the line. What else could you want? If you haven't please go get you a bagel with a coffee. When I'm in town I know where I'm going !!

    Sunnyside's Top bagel , hands down!! Small shop will a fast paced customer service. They have an abundant amount of bagels and sandwiches. Staff are very patient, friendly, helpful and polite. Now their BEC (Bacon Egg And Cheese) is what is supposed to be packed and stacked with all the ingredients in a bagel!! If you're in Sunnyside or passing by, Stop over here!! This is the One bagel shop you need try!! You won't be disappointed!

    I tagged along with my family for a Yelp event at Curley's. For whatever reason, I must have forgotten to RSVP but I don't fret. I always order extra and honestly, that plain bagel wasn't going to cut it for me, especially after seeing their display and menu. This is a take-out establishment. Their space is devoted to their kitchen and pumping out freshly baked, uniquely flavored bagels for the public. As per usual, Curley was upfront and center, handling orders and helping customers. I opted for the Lox Royale on a rosemary salt bagel. It's amazing. It looks like it might be too much but in my opinion, it's not enough. I had it pretty much as is, with the scallion CC and regular lox. I shared and ended up order two more to go. Instead of scallion, I went with their jalapeño CC and liked that a lot more. The little kick was what was missing for me. The pickled onions and tobiko compliment the bagel and I think open-faced is the only way to enjoy this particular sando. Next time, however, I will definitely get their pastrami lox instead of the smoked. I bought a half dozen bagels, including the za'tar and aleppo pepper. All of them are so good. They are soft and chewy, perfect bagels. Their CC options have some interesting flavors as well. The gochujang was OK but I would love that on a Korean style sangwich. I think that would be awesome with some short ribs. I might have to do some home kitchen experiments in the near future. We also grabbed a few of the Curley's dogs. They're essentially hotdogs in a bagel blanket. I got the jalapeño cheddar and everything dogs. They are very easy to reheat at home. I would only suggest getting a better char on the dogs, in the air fryer and heat up the bagel blanket wrapped in foil, in the oven. One of the staff told me separately reheat is best and I'm glad I listened. Curley let me taste his smoked whitefish and I absolutely loved it. I ended up ordering the whitefish open-faced sangwich as well. I got it on the superseeded bagel, as per Curley's suggestion, and it did not disappoint. Everything we had was great. I've found my new go-to when in the area. This will be a staple whenever in Sunnyside. It's very close to me and you already know I will travel for some food. My only grip is that I wish they had more of a hot bevvy selection. We made do but I'm not really a coffee person and they only had coffee or tea when we visited.

    Assortment of bagels with a variety of flavored cream cheeses

    I visited this bagel shop last weekend playing chauffeur to my bestie. My order included: a hot cup of coffee, a hot dog wrapped in a sesame crunch roll, the Pat Lafrieda cheesesteak with onions and peppers bagel, and the Pat Lafrieda steak and eggs with cheese on a bagel. For my coffee, it had a nice, strong roast, perfect for waking me up. I was pleased to see they had both almond and oat milks (I like dairy, but it doesn't like me back... HA!). The hot dog sesame crunch roll was perfect for me to munch on during the drive home. Portable and satisfying. As for the sammies, the amount of meat they stuffed in both sandwiches was worth the price. (Disclaimer: my hubs felt adding Pat Lafrieda's name to it gave the sandwiches a little more clout to elevate the price and questioned if it was worth it. He didn't feel it tasted any differed than store bought sliced beef. I felt it was a good balance of fat/lean meat/flavor). Best eaten hot, those bagel really did a fantastic job of soaking up all that delicious grease, too. It was messy (had to be consumed sitting down), but totally worth it. My only qualm was that there's absolutely no indoor seating and no bathroom available for customers. It was raining on the day that we went, and the only place to sit or outdoor benches. This would be a great local stop otherwise if the weather is good. Also, they are only open from 7:30 to 3:30, so plan accordingly if you decide to make a visit. Kudos for the Friendly service!

    On a rainy Sunday morning the place was pretty busy. Service was efficient, but my 3rd bagel took a while to get. The person at the register was helpful, the person giving the orders was meticulous. The coffee was hot. The bagels were well toasted. The schmears were generously ny! The bacon was crisp. The truffle cream cheese had scallion in it, and had a nice truffle flavor. The allepo bagel was a little too salty for my salt averse palate.

    Came back here to try their black truffle smear on rosemary salt bagel and scallion smear on jalepeno cheddar bagel. Jalepeno was not spicy at all (I have low spice tolerance). Both soo good. I really liked the black truffle and rosemary combination. I would like to try their gochujang cream cheese next time. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a morning bagel. Probably top 2 bagel shops in queens for sure.

    Stopped by and enjoyed the plain bagel with coffee. Decided to order 3 more bagels for my family. I got a blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese however they messed up and gave me plain cream cheese. Got cinnamon raisin and Parmesan and oregano bagels with egg and cheese. They were fresh, delicious and very filling. Adding this spot to my breakfast spot go to!

    Curley's is a cute, modern corner shop in Sunnyside. It has a bit of that Williamsburg/Greenpoint vibe and that's not a bad thing! The staff greeted us when we walked in, and we're super happy to chat about their offerings. Those included a variety of fresh bagels, many with interesting flavors (jalapeño cheddar I'm looking at you) and a bunch of sandwich combos. I love that their menu lists their BEC's under the title "LEMMEGETAAAA" because that word is such a key part of our native vocabulary. Also of note is their iced tea, which is on tap. We will return.

    Bacon & egg Aleppo pepper bagel
    sanjana m.

    We're back in NYC and exploring more of Queens/Brooklyn, so we wanted to start off with the basics -- a good bagel. Found Curley Bagels through Google reviews and decided to give it a shot. Totally worth it. We tried: Aleppo bagel - Spicy, flavorful, and super unique. This one stood out and I'd 100% come back just for it. Parmesan oregano - Tastes like a pizza bagel in the best way possible. Cheesy, herby, and super satisfying. Staff was really friendly and welcoming, and the vibe inside is clean and simple. The menu has some creative options, which we're definitely coming back to explore more of.

    Was first introduced to Curley's Bagels thanks to the "Along the 7 Train" Yelp event. I was thankful for that introduction after an early Sunday morning airport run. On my way back I decided a bagel for breakfast was exactly what was needed for my trouble. Upon arrival a parking spot was not in my cards on this particular morning, so a temporary spot at a hydrant was a risk I decided to take. Curley's had steady traffic, but I quickly perused the menu and decided I would go with the AVOCADO SANGWICH on an Aleppo Pepper Bagel. After some wait, the bag was secured and I scurried back to the car. The Avocado Sangwich with Mashed avocado, heirloom tomato, fried egg, pepitas, pickled red onion, micro pea tendrils, Zhoug sauce was hearty with a fresh earthy taste. I could have used a sprinkle of salt and pepper to seal the deal. Nonetheless I truly enjoyed my bagel selection and might I add, it was quite filling and I had to save 1/2 for later indulgence. Well worth the pit stop on the way home. Just A Note: The specialty breakfast "sangwiches" might be consider a treat because they will run you double digits.

    I've been clamoring - CLAMORING - for a place like this in the Upper East Side. Most Asian…read morerestaurants in this neighborhood are fancy sit-downs, so it was exciting to see a quick, casual stop for Asian "finger food" (for a lack of better word) within my vicinity. Joju specializes in modern Vietnamese cuisine, serving meals like bahn mi, loaded fries, and rice meals. The menu recently added soy garlic wings, and since I am a fiend for Asian-style fried chicken, I of course had to have it. While all of the beverages looked tempting, especially their non-alcoholic soju refreshers, I needed caffeine to offset the afternoon slump that was about to follow, so I ordered a Vietnamese coffee. The wings were huge! It was notably crunchy, saucy, and juicy. There was a decent skin to meat ratio, (I so hate biting into a mouthful of breading), and the meal came out piping hot. It was clear the chicken had been fried per order. Those who know me know that I can't live without rice and would eat it with almost any meal, including fried chicken, so I did request it on the side, although the wings don't come with it. The man who took my order did me a solid and served it with mine, anyway. Good lad! I've been wanting to try Vietnamese coffee for a while now, and it was everything I imagined it would be. Sweet with a bitter backend - but not too bitter! I'm still new to coffee, and I pucker up at anything too intense. This was just right. My meal at Joju satisfied me, mind, body, and soul. I hope it is here to stay, and I hope that a shop like this is a catalyst for other quick Asian food stops to follow. Korean and Filipino restaurants - I'll be waiting!

There was a line, of course, there always is, and the wait was longer than what we were willing to endure for fare as simple and as common as a sandwich. It was worth the 20-minute wait.

Proscuitto burtata (amore) - fresh fresh fresh and quality ingredients. The proscuitto was perfect along with the burrata, arugula and balsamic glaze on ciabatta which was sweet mix. We were deciding on this one and the proscuitto tomato but we are glad we got this one! 2. Chicken caesar salad wrap- I think I could easily say this is the best caesar salad wrap i've had. The dressing was light and not overpowering with the mix of the chicken, croutons and outside wrap was a truly stellar combination. Very fresh and wasnt soggy one bit. the cookies: small black n white cookie, rainbow cookie and chocolate sprinkle and all were hits! my favorite was the black n white because the icing melts right off the soft cookie texture and tastes more like a cake than a cookie. All were amazing and is a must try when visiting. absolutely rec when you're on the east side!

I was pleasantly…read moresurprised to find out they had a location in New York City, so I obviously had to give it a try. There are a few locations, but I decided to visit this one because it was the most convenient for getting to and from home. I got there around 7:00 PM, which felt a little close to closing time since Google said they close at 9:00 PM, but it wasn't busy at all. In fact, I was only the third customer to place an order. I ordered the La Summer sandwich and added pesto. After sitting down and taking my first bite, I immediately understood the hype. Without a doubt, this is one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. I'm not even a huge sandwich person when it comes to subs and deli meats, but everything tasted incredibly fresh. The ingredients paired together perfectly, and you could still taste each one individually. The only thing I'd change next time is the meat. I had no idea prosciutto was a type of ham, but honestly, it didn't even taste like ham to me. It was sliced paper-thin, slightly salty, and worked surprisingly well with everything else. Next time, though, I'll probably add salami just to see how it compares. Overall, this sandwich was a solid 10/10, and I will absolutely be back--whether it's to try a different sandwich or, if we're being honest, order the exact same one again with salami added. I will say it's on the expensive side, but that's New York City for you. Apparently, all of the ingredients are flown in from Italy. After tax and tip, I paid a whopping $28 for a single sandwich. That said, it was incredibly filling and definitely kept me satisfied. The workers were also really nice and accommodating, and the indoor seating was beautiful. The atmosphere felt like a fancy Italian café, complete with couches and artwork throughout the space. I wish I had taken pictures, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying what might be the best sandwich I've had in years.
