solid bagel spot, if order ahead takes a while to get from cashier ... would try again though

unfriendly service. I don't understand why they gave me such an attitude for asking for ice. offered to pay for it, but they required me to buy more items after already buying a full breakfast. it was only 50 cents and they made it a big deal. read more

Not my favorite bagel spot in Manhattan. There was no line and it was fairly quick to get my bagel. I asked for it toasted a little and when I got it, it did not seem toasted at all. The scallion cream cheese just tasted like regular cream cheese and the bagel was ok nothing wow about it. There are better bagel shops in this city. read more

The place can get some remodeling done, but they probably keep it like that for the old school vibes. The prices seemed in the lower end, and selections for breakfast were the regular bagel shop selections you would see. I only tried an egg and sausage bagel from here so far, but it was very good! read more

Bagels were very large and soft but almost more bread consistency rather than bagel (denser). The people seemed nice when ordering and was in/out fairly quickly on a Saturday. Sadly, will not rank in my top bagel spots in NYC. read more

David's Bagels serves some solid bagels- in an area densely populated by rival bagel shops, it holds it down with a good balance of flavor and price. They also use regular bacon for their BEC bagels (not a big fan of turkey bacon so this is a huge plus.) Bagels are nice and soft- for the everything bagel, they season the whole thing (unlike other places where they only season the top.) Great place where you can pop in and out read more

Basic spot. $4.60 for a small-ish bagel. Good value. The olive cream cheese was terrific. Didn't wow me. There was a line, surprisingly. read more

Just enough crisp to crunch a tiny bit when you bite into a good dense bagel. I opted for plain, untoasted with their salmon spread. The spread has a good ratio of salmon and they smear just the right amount, not too skimpy, not so much that you end up scrapping some off. Grabbed it togo, cheaper and tastier than some of their more popular neighboring bagel shops. The tables and floors could use a good cleaning, then they'd earn 5 stars. I'll go back anyway, since the bagels are solid. read more

Arrived at 11 am on a Saturday to a long line and an average bagel. The line moved fairly quickly to order my everything with cream cheese. The slow down was the cashier who was also making the coffee at the same time. Place is a little small with very few places to sit. Overall a place you can have a conversation if you were able to sit down. As far as the hand rolled everything bagel, seasonings only on 1 side with poppy and sesame prevailing. No salt or anything else. see my bagel reviews on IG @bagelmavennyc read more

Had to get a bagel while traversing the villages by myself on a Tuesday morning and stopped into David's because I heard that it was one of the best. It was certainly a little chaotic inside. As soon as I stepped in it felt like they were trying to rush me out! Ma'am I live in LA I will take my time looking at every bagel and cream cheese combination possible, TYVM. I went for the classic everything with cream cheese and it only took a moment to make. The bagel was toasted, maybe not enough for me, but still fluffy. Really good and a whole lot of cream cheese. I almost couldn't finish the whole thing. It was nice, maybe not the best bagel I've EVER had, but still very good nonetheless. read more

0.5/1 Ambience; 3/3 Food; 0.5/1 Value David's Bagels very much gives a mom and pop-shop vibe where the food is first and foremost. There is limited seating, and most customers took their food to go. While the we were not expecting a lot in terms of decor, the seating area was not very clean with scattered crumbs and food stains. The counter service was fast despite a rather busy morning with many patrons and delivery orders. I had a pumpernickel bagel with cream cheese and lox that came to $11.50 + tax. The bagel was delicious with a crisp exterior, but a fluffy and chewy interior. While the lox was fresh and this was overall a tasty meal, I can't justify the price versus the amount of lox. The smear of cream cheese, on the other hand, was generous and perfect relative to the bagel. Despite the few setbacks, David's is a perfect example of why NYC is famous for its bagels! read more

Stopped here while in NYC, and was not disappointed. The shop is small and quaint with limited seating. Ordering was quick and our food was ready by the time we walked down to pay. Coffee was okay, not the best. Cashier was a bit short but as to be expected in NYC. The bagel was crisp on the outside, tons of cream cheese on the inside, and the dough was pillowy. Amazing. read more

I got an everything bagel with egg and cheese to go. The service was quick and the cashier was pleasant. The bagel itself was pretty tasty, the egg was fluffy and it had ample cheese. My only complaint is that the top was a bit too toasted for my liking... the seeds on the top of the bagel tasted a little burnt. But I would go again for the price point and the overall quality of food. The shop itself is a little small and does not have much seating. Their selection and variety of bagels and cream cheese is also not as vast as other bagel shops but their price is definitely the most reasonable in the neighborhood imo. read more

I went here in the early morning as I happened to be a bit further up on 3rd on the way to work. There was two people working there with one person ordering and after waiting for the other person to finish as the other person there was paying no attention, then there was a bit of silence and eventually the other person asked what I wanted. I got a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese and tomato because whynot. The bagel was nicely chewy and there was a good schmear of cream cheese but there were definitely a couple hard burnt sections. There wasn't many raisins nor much cinnamon and overall it was a slightly more flavorful plain bagel. It's a step up from the generic bagels you find from carts but at least a lot of those guys are friendly also and the bagels are a buck cheaper. It's a local place that's been around for a long time but there's definitely a lot of better places for bagels and breakfast. I'd probably give it a 1 but at least it was a good amount cheaper than some of the other bagel places. read more

No frills Bagels. Love my go to bagel with cream cheese. Best paired with hot coffee and the occasional Thai tea. Simple, filling and possibly the best tasting bagel in the area. Don't expect 5 star treatment but expect 5 star bagels-- that's for sure. read more

came here once hungover as hell (basically still drunk) looking for a lifesaving BEC and i found exactly that, i've been thinking about the breakfast sandwich i had here for days read more

Best bagels and service is on point. Small place always clean. David Bagels never disappoint.

Amazing bacon egg and cheese even right before they closed the quality was amazing. It came out super quick.

David's Bagels is as good as it gets. Their bagels and cream cheese are all fluffy, fresh, and delicious. Their Thai ice tea always hits the spot as well. Price points are reasonable at this restaurant and the staff is always very nice. This has happily become our go to bagel shop and here in the city, that's writing a lot. read more

Highly recommend this cute bagel place! Had the everything bagel here with tuna (a first for me) and it was delicious! So delicious. Crispy and toasted and so filling. They have a bit of seating, a $5 minimum for credit card, and from the steady stream of visitors on a Sunday morning, clearly high amount of popularity. read more

Great quality and lots of options! Bagels were fresh and yummy. Cream cheese was also wonderful!

Bagel was delightful and the line was very short on a Saturday morning. Usually have to wait much longer for worse bagels at other places in the city. read more

Have you ever had a Flagel ? David's Bagels offer flat bagels to order. It started somewheres in New York City in the 90s. Someone decided to flatten the bagel before it was boiled and place in the oven. To us the flagel is much more chewy in the inside then the regular bagel and more crispy on the outside too! read more

Egg, Cheese & Sausage everything bagel (+toasted) was worth the $7.00 Delivery was super quick & made it safely. The only thing is, the bagel wasn't toasted all around. But I'd try this place again when I'm in the area once again. read more

Top quality and reliable internet ordering. Bringing some on holiday visits has always been a huge hit for me.

I've been going to davids bagels store for 18 months regularly and they have AMAZING Bagels, but a few months back got closed down bc they were not clean!!! I've gone multiple times since bc its one of the better bagels in the city, but have always been skeptical. At this point I realize I've had enough with this establishment. The short thin Asian woman who handles the cash register and answers the phone for takeout orders is incredibly rude. It's actually surprising how often she shouts on the phone to customers. Regularly yells on the phone EVERY time, hangs up on customers in the middle of ordering, and often makes errors on the order. Shes done it to a half a dozen of my co workers, along with myself. I've spoken to the manager about it and he claimed he would speak to her. Her attitude was better for about a month. This morning she hung up the phone twice on me before I was done ordering. I called back every time to tell her my order and when I arrive her response is "I didn't know if you wanted it still". Keep in mind, I walk in and there is not one customer in the establishment. I guess David's bagels doesn't need there regular customers anymore. ‍ After ordering multiple times a week for my co workers and I AND every weekend, I'm on the search for a new place. anyone who has recommendations in the area please share! read more

David, you totally floored me. I had no idea what to expect, and what I got was an unbelievably fresh sesame bagel with rich scallion cream cheese. I'd come back here tomorrow. Goodbye Murray's and Tompkins. I've got a new man, and his name is David. 5 stars!!!!!!!! read more

Four stars for a pretty solid breakfast bagel experience! When in NYC, bagels are a must. I relied on Yelp to help me find the place that was going to be good, but also reasonably close to where we were... David's it is! I went with a whole wheat bagel with lox, lite cream cheese (as in fat, but definitely not in serving size), and avocado for $1 extra. My better half got a class bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel. Both came out to around $18. I was very impressed by the lox! They gave me a decent portion and although I'm not crazy about a ton of cream cheese, it was good too. My fiancé really enjoyed his sandwich. The bagels themselves tasted fresh and the perfect amount of chewy. The place itself is pretty classic and no frills. Order in line, get your sandwich, pay, and be merrily on your way. I would definitely swing by David's if I'm in the area. I'm by no means a bagel connoisseur, but these sammies certainly hit the spot when we needed them the most! read more

This has got to be one of the better bagels places on the lower east side and is my go to sport on weekends. If you come here during rush hour though there can be 20+ minute waits but I personally think it is worth it. It offers all your typical bagels and and whole wheat everything bagels my favorite. I usually get egg and cheese on a bagel and it is cooked soft scrambled and so delicious. The bagels here are soft on the outside and have the right crunch texture on the outside. There aren't to many bagel places on the LES so if you are looking for a good spot look no further and come here. In addition the coffee here is extremely good, I am not sure exactly how they make but i think they put some Thai ice tea in the ice coffee mixture which gives a sweet tasty after taste and the hot coffee is just as good. In regards to speed they are very quick even when they have long lines and the staff is very friendly. In short: - My favorite LES bagel spot - Delicious bagels and coffee - Has all the basic bagels no specialty bagels - Fair prices - Quick but can have long lines during weekend rush hour times read more

Ordered ham, egg and cheese on a roll and a small coffee. I got a sandwich with melting cheese, very thin one slice of ham and one piece small scrambled egg for $9.50. This is not what I expect for a place with good reviews and photos. Never again! read more

Huge bagels, not chewy. Edible but as far as bagels go - go to Ess or further south down 1st, Black Seed, in the hood.
