I ordered the baked kippered salmon sandwich and got it on a sesame bagel.. was supposed to be toasted and scooped I think but that fell thru but it's ok because that was a JAM PACKED sandwich with super moist, flaky, fresh salmon, fresh crispy lettuce, and the perfect amount of cream cheese. Also the sesame egg bagel was LOADED with toasted sesame seeds, exactly as it should be! I can't tell you how many times I've ordered a Nova or Lox or Kippered sandwich and the lettuce is like old ass brown shredded iceberg... which ruins it for me. But the veggies they use here are extremely fresh! You can tell they keep them temperature controlled properly and I'm just so grateful because things like that are an extremely underrated part of what makes a truly great sandwich (especially via delivery)! Also you get a yummy pickle and can choose a small side with your sandwich. Obsessed. I got the tomato cucumber salad but they had potato salad, coleslaw, macaroni, Israeli salad, etc to choose from. Love! Give them a shot.

Not overwhelming with sugar and still had the taste of cream cheese. The workers here are cool and kind. I liked that everything was laid out for people to make their choices better.

Yes there are many great bagel places across Manhattan - but this one always: 1. Gets the food right, menu 2. Will have a line, testimony to demand 3. Fast and efficient This is in my top three bagel places in all of Manhattan under 96th street. Got a lox bagel with cream cheese and a everything bagel with cream cheese and had peppers in both. One of the best lox bagels I have ever had. Was oozing with flavor. Highly recommend regardless of all income levels - to try this place at least once. Might become a regular - of which I would not be surprised at all. If I lived nearby I would be. Will always come here whenever I have a chance! 20/10

You can find this location of Brooklyn Bagel at 286 8th Ave, New York, NY 10001 in Chelsea. As with…read moreother eateries in NYC, probably best to walk to this location and forgo looking for the near non-existent parking. I was looking for a breakfast spot close to my hotel near 7th Ave and found a couple of contenders on 8th Ave - I decided to hit Brooklyn Bagel as it showed more reviews. We have Brooklyn Bagel in Atlanta so I'm familiar with the chain - most Atlanta bagels are sub-par, something about the horrible Atlanta water. I figured it was time to sample a location in NYC. This location is fairly old-school, directly on 8th Ave between W 24th and W25th streets. Coming in there was a line but it moved quickly - you go to the back of the shop, call out what you want and move towards the register to pay. I think it took about 7 minutes to get the BKbagel Classic - - smoked Nova salmon, scallion cream cheese, onion, tomato & capers. I asked for it on a toasted everything and it was everything I thought it would be - perfect bite. Service was great, no nonsense but friendly. I sat at one of the long wall counters and wolfed down my sandwich with a cup of Joe. No complaints here.

This location is loud and energetic when you walk in. Seemingly want to pumped up about buying some bagels haha. The staff was very helpful because we weren't sure what we wanted, but they helped walk us through some options and eventually settled on the classic NY bagel. Cream cheese, salmon, and capers, etc. on the soft, delicious bagel. Also got a blueberry muffin for the kids and they loved that! All in all great experience. I'd drop it down to 4.5 stars just because the loud setting is not really my vibe, but everything else was great!

I've been visiting my BFF for 30 years (who works across the street on 2nd Ave) and I'm sad to say…read morethat this is the first time I've tried Tompkins Square Bagels. I'm so very, very glad that I finally made across the street because, wholly guacamole, the bagels here are AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! I want to come back to try EVERY. SINGLE. HOMEMADE. CREAM. CHEESE! We had the Koch on an onion bagel and a garlic bagel, the Weezer, the Triple Crown, and the Kaitlyn. Of course, we ordered the quintessential New York breakfast, bacon, egg, and cheese. The deliciousness brought us to tears! Before leaving, we also tried the Back-to-School special, a French toast bagel with strawberry cream cheese, and I honestly don't think there's another bagel more perfect than that! With regards to service, I could only give 5 stars, but given the opportunity, I would've given 10! The staff here was fantastic in offering suggestions and sharing their favorites from the menu. They were friendly in a way that made us feel like home. They were quick to fix a problem another customer had with his bagel...no questions asked! How awesome is that? You can guarantee we'll be back before we leave!

Greetings and kind salutations. I visited Tompkins Square Bagels for the first time in my memory…read moreand perhaps in my life, but who am I to say as memories are often fleeting. The experience was positive overall. My order was humble yet superior: an egg everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese. Egg bagels are inherently superior to eggless bagels, except for individuals with an egg allergy. This bagel was moist and fresh, slightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. A bit like biting into a well-cooked morsel of crispy pork belly. The cream cheese was perfectly tasty as well. I visited on a Sunday morning, which is probably peak time. The venue was very busy, but the staff kept the line organized and moving, putting in orders as customers waited in the long and serpentine line. I deduced a star for the following reasons: first, the bagel was not in the top five bagels I've eaten in my life; second, I witnessed what some might call a war crime at the establishment...birthday cake cream cheese. I would certainly visit again when I am next in the area.

I got us whole wheat everything bagel with a fried egg, chipotle Gouda, and turkey sausage with chipotle mayo with a hash brown on the side. And when I opened the bagel open I could see the cheese from both ends of the bagel melting apart, I was in heaven. It tasted so good. And the best part was that my bagel didn't fall apart (like some places). Everything was so delicious. I was left very happy and very pleased with this place. I will be back.

It is not as chewy as I would like it. It is more on the doughy end. They take ur breakfast order at the smear area on a tablet so menu prices are not explicitly written out. They put an ample amount of cream cheese, but the bagel flavor/texture should be key. They have 9 other locations. I would come if i needed consistency, but i would go somewhere else for a better bagel/value/pricing.
