I have been a long time customer at this store but lately, the service and quality has been lacking. Buying good bagels is now a hit or miss. Sometimes they are under cooked with raw dough or is hard and burnt. Fresh bagels are usually served in the early morning and mid afternoon. Other times are just unsold leftovers. The place is very hectic in the morning with everyone coming to buy breakfast and coffee. Only one person takes care of front counter; serving coffee and acting as cashier; in addition to be constantly on the phone. The other staff tend to the grill. I have at times spend at least 10 to 15 minutes waiting to buy just a few bagels. read more

Bagels are always so delicious and fresh and prices are decent they also deliver which is great

We Stopped by Dales Bagel for a quick breakfast bagel. I was pleasantly surprised how soft & delicious the bagels are. The Store is narrow and packed with stuff & very crowded. read more

Dale Bagels - Stop into Dale Bagels yesterday for a quick bite to eat. The bagels are soft & delicious. Not heavy at all. - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I was a weekly customer at the store for about a year. The manager/owner had answered the phone as I was almost ready to pay my bill. I waited patiently for him to finish his call, then he came to the register. Suddenly another customer walked in took an Italian hero bread and handed the manager/owner $2.00 with little regard to my being ahead of that customer. I even said "I was ahead and should have been taken care of first". He said " What's the difference"? He did not like that I was annoyed and started to yell at him. Dale Bagels lost a customer, me because of the treatment I received. read more

Wow, this is really not the bagel deli you want to partake. Flies around the bagels and the flat grill is as dirty as they come. Looks like they havn't cleaned it in months. The sanitary and cleanliness of this place is well below what it should be. Ordered the bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and the bacon was not crispy and eggs were runny. Had to totally throw it out after. Prices are a bit expensive as well for a bagel shop. Not going to visit again. read more

Bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel with a small coffee for $3.50. This is what keeps me coming back. One of the cheapest places to get that anymore these days in NYC. They also have so many different bagels to pick from (everything, onion, garlic, sesame, egg, pumpernickel, etc.) so that's also a plus. My only complaint is that the bagels are very doughy. They keep sticking to the back of my front teeth with each bite. That just really bugs me. They stick on pretty snugly too. Swishing with water doesn't dislodge them, and I don't want to be sticking my fingers into my mouth during my subway ride. I know eating is not allowed on the train, but that's what true New Yorkers do! Service here is usually pretty quick. It can get pretty busy, but the employees do their best to get everyone in and out in a timely fashion. My biggest gripe with this place is how they have their pastries just sitting out in the open on the counter, mouth level with customers. I pity the people that actually order them and get a whole lot of customer snot and saliva with it. How is the health department ok with this?! read more

3.5 stars The difference between Brooklyn bagels and any other bagel is the amount of cream cheese they put inside. $3 for a scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel and let me tell you, they definitely put a generous amount of cream cheese on it. Truly making it a Brooklyn bagel! However, although the cream cheese was plenty the scallions were not. The bagel was also more like a roll than a bagel, but they certainly have a large variety of options here. read more

I was so disappointed I bought a pre packed American cheese it was 6 months expired and the fresh mozzarella was MESS! Also the store is very dirty. Also awful customer service. read more

Been coming to this store since I've moved into the area. Although prices have went up by a lot overtime its not in their control. We are dealing with inflation after all. But this place makes the best sandwiches and platters (no matter what kind) that i have ever had. Id definitely recommend read more

I love their homefries, it is seasoned well, no ketchup or hot sauce needed. The guy at the cashier is very nice too. My father in law h as s come here in the past for bagels or sandwiches and always enjoyed them. This is a solid deli. read more

The guy thinks that if he's typing on the register quickly the customer will not see that he's overcharging, I was a regular customer and I will never go back there! Thankfully Brooklyn does not have a shortage of Bagel stores. read more

Back in the 80's, after the clubs closed, this was the place to go. Cars were triple parked to pick up hot fresh bagels. Now, the place is a disease, with a filthy cooking area and 2 day old rock hard bagels. The only good things are their fresh rice pudding and homegrown. New owners are pushy and somewhat nasty. read more

This place should and would be closed if not for the location - clean it up ! If you do order good luck getting the right order !

Best bagels in Brooklyn by far, and believe me I have tried a lot of 'em. These are really large and have that soft, almost gooey texture that you can only find in NY. I send bagels to my family down south each year from various places and these are everyone's favorite. I read reviews about bad rolls, croissants, etc. and I cannot review those items, as I am sensible enough not to order a roll from a bagel place and expect it to be amazing. I mean, I do not review a steak house based on their fish sticks...ya know what I mean? The pricing I find to be pretty good. Their pastries are good, some look crappy but most are fresh in the mornings. Their deli items like tuna fish, deli meats, etc. are also good. The service, well that can vary. I was very confused the first few times I came here and every time I come (unless it is nearly empty), I always have this awkward 'where do I stand to wait' feeling. But, this is kind of the norm at bagel places, so it isn't something to deduct a star for. The people ringing you up at the counter are always polite though. read more

I come here on Saturday and Sunday mornings before my games to grab some breakfast to eat on the road. My food of choice is a Whole Wheat Everything bagel, toasted with veggie cream cheese. Simple but effective. However, this bagel is one of the best bagels I've ever had in this neighborhood. The service is pretty good and the guys behind the counter are friendly. They have gotten my order wrong once or twice but hey, nobody is perfect all the time. I haven't come here at any other times but if their sandwiches are as good as their bagels I might have to give it a try one day. read more

Although this is called Dale's Bagels, it is more like a deli, that does bagels.. But they do them well!! The everything bagel I had was just as others described.. Little crusty, chewey, yet not heavy or light.. Perfect.. I added fried eggs and turkey, black pepper to it, and it was delicious.. read more

Dale Bagels - The bagel bins. French Toast bagels were on top, their aroma wafting through the shop.. Delicious! Regret not grabbing one.. - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

They leave their bagels out and exposed with flies crawling all over the bagels and then they sell it to people... They need to store their food in insect proof containers. If it weren't for all the bugs crawling on the food, it would be a decent place for a quick breakfast bagel. It wasn't like this when it use to be "hot bagels," seemed more sanitary then. The staff here now seem jaded and unfazed with all the flies flying all over their products and cooking areas. read more

Ordered a ham and eggs on bagel for $3.50 and only received 1 slice of ham. I think 2 slices is not overly generous considering the bagel costs under $1 along with 2 eggs at minimal cost. I might as well have ordered a bagel cream cheese esp since the other review said a bacon egg and cheese WITH coffee costs $3.50! read more

Dale Bagels - Sad bagel with egg and ham for $3.50 - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Hands down the best bagels in Brooklyn! Always fresh, warm, and so freakin' tasty! I swear, I don't know what they put in them.. Anytime I've wanted to try something new I've reverted to ordering a bagel. The everything bagel is my favorite, along with their vegetable cream cheese (my mouth is salivating right now). This place has been consistent for many years and never fails. The service is quick and friendly. You must stop by if you're in the area! read more

Perfect stop for a breakfast or lunch sandwich to-go! Great variety of bagels which are all handmade.

I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and my friend had egg salad on a roll, costed about $7 total. The egg salad roll made my friends stomach feel queasy (she only had half) and my everything bagel was a sad excuse for an everything bagel...because...where was everything that was supposed to be on there? ...Barely anything on my bagel...cream cheese was basic...just plain cream cheese but some scallion mixed in...price and portions were good but it did not satisfy my cravings...location is good because it's busy and close to the train station..but store was dark,old and did not look very clean...sorry..I'm not coming back here .... read more

Ordered bacon egg and cheese. Got one piece of bacon on side of the roll for $5. No thank you, I'll take my business else where. I ordered two of them and both of them were the same. read more

Used to buy bagels from here often. One morning my wife ordered a bagel with butter. Took it home, opened it because that's how she eats it, and found a small dead spider inside her bagel. We called Dale's and told them what happened. They said it was impossible and must have been us. Yea ok. So we didn't go there for a long time. Just went there this morning and ordered a dozen bagels. Took it home and and we all had bagels. Half way through my wife's bagel, she finds a hair. She shows it to me so I look at mine. And BOOM! Another freakin hair. So are we the unluckiest people in the neighborhood? I don't think so. This place is filthy. Look at what your eating. You know what, their bagels actually taste good. But dead bugs and hair in the bagels the last 2 times we went there? Disgusting. Never again. Eat at your own risk. WARNING: LOOK BEFORE YOU EAT read more

I got 3 plain bagels toasted with cream cheese and one cinnamon raisin bagel, a Monster, and an apple juice all for about $8-9. The staff is really friendly -- it's your typical neighborhood bagel spot with decent pricing and a plethora of options. read more

I've never had any problems with any of the owner's and I've been ordering from them for quite awhile (Turkey or Chipotle chicken on a roll). Sometimes they do cut half the amount of meat on my usual sandwich I order but other than that and the broken fridge doors that can hold back an apocalypse still haven't been fixed for years. If you want a good arm work out, get yourself a drink! read more

If you go in and there's a big line, and you don't order from Chris at the register or the brother with less hair, you're order will get messed up or lost. I might have thrown a V-8 at the other brother once, but he had given my sandwich to a Cop and I was super pissed. The other bad time to go in is when the teachers from the school a block away all come in to get coffee and lunch... they must be part owners because they always cut in front of me as if they own the place. Im doing better with my anger issues now and I still hit up Dale Bagels at least 5 times a week. read more

Best bagels in Bensonhurst...check them out first thing on a Saturday or Sunday morning for a delicious treat. Rumor has it that the little guy that works there actually lives underneath the store and he has an army of little guys making immaculate bagels for him. Maybe he sleeps by an oven, who knows! read more

When you go to dale's early enough and the bagels are hot and fresh, there is just something about these bagels that makes them so damn good. Any other time of the day and they're okay, but if you go 7am, you're in for a real treat. read more

I love this place. I don't even like bagels, but these ones are soft and chewy and really delicious. They have mini ones and medium sized ones, too, if you don't want a regular large bagel. They have rolls, croissants and other pastries, muffins, eggs, and a deli selection of meats and cheeses, cole slaw, caprese salad, egg, tuna, & potato salads, mixed vegetables, various cream cheese flavors, etc. The guys who work there are so incredibly nice, too. Just a great neighborhood spot, especially on a lazy weekend morning. read more

Bagels are just okay in my opinion..delivery is a total mistake...we placed an order at 9:00 am and didn't receive it till nearly 11:00 am

I absolutely love this deli. The bagels are fresh; the prices are low; the service is fantastic. This deli sets the gold standard for every other deli in the city. read more

This is like one of those obscure New York deli's that end up featured in some prominent foodie blog or article when someone comes across it and tries their awesome breakfast sandwiches. However, it's still a secret, undiscovered neighborhood gem! This place makes THE BEST bacon, egg, & cheese sandwiches I have ever had in my life! The egg was thick, warm and fluffy; the bacon is sizzled to a heavenly crisp; the layer of melted American cheese on top will make for a memorable breakfast experience that should be enough to run that filthy nearby Dunkin Donuts out of business! Have it with a lightly-sweetened iced coffee and you're good to go! read more

I love me a hot warm, chewy, crispy bagel. I am just a regular customer. Obviously it gets a lot of people during the morning rush. If that bugs you, you should get out of new york like now. Their customer service is better, Im starting to come here more, Columbus deli isn't the same,sorry. The food is great, never an issue with my food, or people. Thumbs up! read more

I have been going to this bagel store religiously for 10 years and they are by far my favorite. John is a newer owner he is there all the time meeting and greeting customers. The products are outstanding and fairly priced. Most people don't realize they deliver and offer curbside service if you can't find a parking spot. read more

Yelp rule number one, if you see a place with close to five stars and under 20 reviews chances are high that it's all the owners friends or family writing the reviews. I came here during breakfast and there was no greeting and not even what can I get for you when nobody else was even in the store. Okay I've had bad service before, no problem if the bagels are actually good. NOPE the bagel was hard and the bag was dripping with oil. Relax there cook. Not everyone wants a grease mess. This place is what it is. A poor deli with some coffee. Nobody should look further than that. read more

Best bagels and service. Greeted with a smile, and " Hi hunny." This hole in the wall is perfect for a morning coffe, bagel run. Great food, service, all in all in your in the neighborhood stop in. read more

Love to stop by Dale Bagels on the weekend even though I moved from the neighborhood I still get up and drive there before the family wakes so I can come home with a bangin breakfast!! During the week if I'm working close enough to stop by I make sure to get my BEC or Heathy Choice, best bagels in Brooklyn, not Tasty Bagels, not Bagel Boy, Dale comes first then the rest. read more

Don't let the inside of this place fool you...the bagels kick a$$. The service was great.

Come here early and you will get fresh hot bagels that are just the right amount crispy on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside, they melt in your mouth. No toasting necessary, the cream cheese oouuzes out. Place is great, Ima plain bagel eater and I tell you it's one of the best I ever tried. Huge drink selection as well. Enjoy read more
