Looking for an authentic bagel? Davidovich is your place. Hand rolled, boiled then baked, old fashioned, proper bagels. Best bagel in NYC, even better than Absolute. I usually order by the dozen and take them home where they are slathered with all manner of toppings. Sadly, good bagels have become really hard to find in the city but Davidovich solves that problem for those of us who know what a real bagel tastes like. Enjoy! read more

A bagel is a bagel, not bad at all. Fresh and soft, the bagel was tasty. Not much smoked salmon, but what you see is what you get. Nice and friendly staff. read more

My favorite bagels in the city. They have many different kinds and all the ones I have tried are great.

Davidovich is one of the first vendors that greet you when you walk into Essex Market and you can't help being tempted by their sweet treats! Took a mixed bag of pastries home using the YourLocal app, which is awesome, because you prevent food waste and save money at the same time read more

I now look forward to my weekly shopping trips at Essex market just for the thought of biting into my perfect, fresh, New York style bagel. When I walk in I head straight for Davidovich, order my black coffee and LES (a must-try classic) and take a couple minutes out of my errand to sit down and enjoy an immensely satisfying and delicious meal. Thank you and well done. read more

Wow. What a bagel. They have all kinds of spreads and stuff to put on your bagel. I usually get cream cheese because I'm a traditionalist but the beauty of Davidovich is that anyone can get anything! read more

a bit over a year later and I am no longer a fan. This store is just never open. whether i come at 4pm or 1pm. they are closed or closing or they have no stock. At times, there's been a sign saying, "Be right back", but it's a lie. It's annoying because on many occasions, I have refrained from picking up bagels figuring i'd get them on the way home at Davidovich, only to find them closed. They must have gotten some sweetheart deal which allows them to afford to be open 10 random hours a week. It doesnt seem like they are interested in doing business any more. read more

I am writing about their seamless service. I have never ever written a review- this is my first because I am so infuriated. It's been an hour and a half and my food is nowhere to be found. I've called the store three times, only to be very rudely dismissed by a woman who works there. On the first call, she said "there are other deliveries" and then immediately hung up the phone, on the second call she said "he's been walking for three hours" and promptly hung up the phone again. What does that even mean? The third call I asked to speak to a manager, and upon telling "the manager" about the rudeness of her employee, she ALSO was dismissive about my complaint and then told me that it was busy. She also told me the food would be late because their delivery guy was walking. WALKING?! Don't say my food will be delivered in 30-45 minutes if your only delivery guy is walking from the LES to 14th street! Never order from here. Their staff and their service is infuriatingly unprofessional. read more

Coffee was fine but it took ten minutes for me to get a bagel that wasn't even toasted (I asked for it to be toasted well). Service was fine. One of them asked if they should remake my bagel when I asked about it but the guy that took my order wouldn't even say hi to me and was not a good listener for more reasons than the bagel. read more

Ordered online using Delivery.com. Ordered 3 sandwiches, but unfortunately they weren't what we ordered- Delivery called to let us know they didn't have one item but then just apparently gave us whatever they felt like. My wife couldn't eat hers, so we ended up tossing it and ordering elsewhere. It came quickly and seemed fresh, maybe just a bad day- read more

The bagels are awful - they are like supermarket bagels. I could not have been more disappointed.

Get your Uber eats in check. Second time ordering food and not received. What the heck is going on . No one answering phone

AMAZING bagels. New York in creation and Parisian in taste. Also, Dan, the really helpful counter guy, was really great and super cool made the experience complete. EAT 'EM! read more

Small counter at the Essex Street market. Perfect to grab a bagel and a cup of coffee when on the run in the area. They make some signature sandwiches which look great - but I have not tried them to date. Solid bagels, muffins and coffee. Friendly staff. read more

ordered from postmates and they completely messed up our order. only gave us one of two cappucinos and forgot the chocolate croissant. the bagels are good but the attention to detail seems to be completely lacking. will definitely go elsewhere for my bagels in the future. read more

Pretty good bagel, though a bit dense. Service was great but they toasted it without asking me. I wouldn't go out of my way but I would be happy to grab a bagel here again read more

I really like Davidovich as my morning bagel spot! They are consistent with their bagels and coffees. I usually get an everything toasted with butter or cream cheese and I've never been disappointed. I've heard rumors about a tofu spread but have yet had the pleasure (always out). I would love to have not just plain but also a veggie tofu option! *A note for new visitors - Davidovich bakery is located in the Northeast corner of Essex Market. read more

Tucked in the back of Essex Market. Its okay... overpriced by a few bucks, nothing special. Would not go back.

Pick up the lox at Russ & Daughters but come to Davidovich in Essex market for superior bagels!

It's in a larger marketplace, so it took me some circling around before figuring that out. I've had better bagels, but it still was good... but the coffee was better. read more

Plus 1 star for nice counter service, 4$ maple cronut was mehs. Gonna try their famous bagels next time! read more

Davidovich Bakery - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

See all

I am ashamed to give this place even 1 star. We ordered for delivery and the food took two hours to show up. Once it finally arrived our orders were all messed up. Bagels not toasted, coffee black with no cream and we asked for cream and sugar, the list goes on. I will never order from this place again. read more

Really loved this place. Tried it for the first time because I feel there is a lack of good traditional bagel stores on the Lower East Side (Katz's and Russ and Daughters I consider to be more specialty places). The LES sandwich here was so good and fresh - generous portion of lax paired perfectly with onions capers tomato and cream cheese. The prices here are more than fair, bagels are very fresh even at 3 in the afternoon. Friendly delivery people and fast delivery - always comes under the estimated time. Try this new LES spot! It will be worth it. read more

So this is what bagels are supposed to taste like. Perfect chewiness, perfect amour of cream cheese, and the free coffee (from checking in) also good. I'll upgrade to 5 if I have consistent experiences. Glad to have this bagel shop in the neighborhood. Finally! read more

Top notch New York bagels and a genuinely friendly staff, located in the excellent Essex Street indoor market with some great neighbors. Quality cream cheese offered a perfect complement. Typical of the kind of perks we seek living in & visiting NYC. The bagel and herbal tea selections encouraged me to also order a blueberry muffin, which was airy and fresh without a trace of greasiness. A relatively tiny counter putting out some big rewards. read more

I stopped by here because I was in the area and this had good reviews and I love bagels. I did not like this bagel. It just tasted like bread and there wasn't much substance to it. Sad day for me. read more

3 people managed to ignore me standing there for five minutes. A free bagel couldn't win me back now.

Came in and had coffee and elvis sandwich. Truly amazing place and superb food.

The bagels here are made fresh and right in essex street market. They have a very small spot so it can be easily missed. The bagels here have volume and dense. It is somewhat chewy and this i am not used to. This is what a NY bagel should taste like but im just so used to the local deli bagels in midtown. Therefore, I prefer the bagels that are over toasted and slapped on with a massive amount of cream cheese. read more

Perfect way to start the day is to have a bagel and a fresh cup of coffee. My favorite was the "everything bagel". I only wish the staff would have been a little more polite and helpfull. Still a must place to try! read more

These bagels taste the way bagels are supposed to taste-- a bit chewy, with flavor from the bread in addition to the sesame seeds, garlic, poppy seeds, etc. I was actually going to call the company after I had them for the first time, but a real review on Yelp probably helps more-- so here it is. Thank you for bringing a super delicious bagel back to the Lower East Side. read more

Really DELICIOUS bagels. Flavorful and fragrant, the kind of New York bagels you miss in other cities. The lox and cream cheese are quality to match the bagels, a perfect combination with onions, capers and tomato. The white fish bagel is tasty. Nice service, great addition to the Essex Street Market. Grateful for the delivery, too, in this frigid weather. read more

Alas the 20 year conundrum of pumpernickel or everything has been answered!!! Thank you Davidovich for your brilliance in combining my 2 favorite bagels into 1. The bagels are delicious and meet all the requirements for a perfect NYC bagel. The staff is always friendly. My only complaint would be no low fat cream cheese (not sure if this is the norm but they had none listed the few times I have been). read more

Placed an order online bc when I called them they told me they don't take phone orders and had to go through seamless. Estimated time online said one hour for ONE bagel sandwich to be delivered 6 blocks away- which is fine. I waited. Only to end up waiting 2 hours with their phone off the hook and busy the entire time where I couldn't reach them. Would never advise to order online with them. Unreliable. read more

This is actually a really good place. The bagels are delightful. Coffee is well done. They have croissants and all kind of bagels. The reason I am giving this 3 stars instead of 4 is because they need to get a better online ordering system. The poor guy that came today with our breakfast was soaking wet and so was our bag with our bagels. A plastic bag would have solved the issue, of course. They do take quite a bit to deliver too. Last week we waited more than 40 minutes and we live 3 minutes away from this place. We still order from here since their bagels are a million times better than what you get in the nearby delis and coffee shops (I am looking at you Irving Farm!!) read more

I had heard good things about this place. The bagel was well priced but fairly average. Nothing wrong with it, but for somebody used to upper east side bagels this just doesn't compete. read more

This place was alright. The bagel was decent. The guy behind the counter seemed like he was having a bad day. I can't speak to their bagel sandwiches, I only had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and a house coffee. Nothing to write home about but I was not dissatisfied. If I was in the neighborhood again and wanted a quick, easy breakfast I'd come back. read more

Good place to grab a beagle, but Kossar's is better in my opinion. Very convenient location as it's in Essex Market so you can just go on your way to work in the am. read more

Get the elvis on an everything bagel!! It is really great! The ice coffee is also excellent. Staff is very friendly and helpful. They do get really busy at times so try to come off peak hours if possible. read more

I want to like and support this small neighborhood business, but you guys need to be more consistent with your opening times. I come mostly in the morning after dropping my child at school, then I'm off to work. Usually you're open, but there have been many times that I come by and I'm told you're not open. That means I'm going to go to another vendor and spend money that I intended to spend there. But what bothers me is that the times I was told you're not open, I wasn't told in a nice way. No need to be nasty if you're not ready to serve customers, but maybe don't have staggered opening times and I won't bother you. read more
