Favorite Everything Bagel
Sam J.

Realistically I would give this location 3.5 stars. It wasn't amazing and it wasn't bad. It was good so I'm going to lean towards the 3 star side. We had their signature bagel on everything. I had a few bagels during my NYC visit. This was in the middle and the score says so too. The service was fine. The market is amazing with so many options. At the end of the day you'll probably wish you had gotten food from another place after making your choice. If you ar win the mood for a bagel it won't disappoint but it probably won't blow you away either.

The salmon bagel was sooooo good favorite lox bagel during trip. The toppings with it were so good the red onion and lettuce made it to be honest This is really expensive though like $19 sandwich but they filled the lox to the brimmmm it was a thick layer of fish

I love a good bagel and this was a recommendation from my husband's boss. Service was good, they, have plenty of options, prices seem fair. I think my expectations were set too high because I was told that they blow Goldberg's bagels out of the water. This was not my experience. I had an everything bagel with egg and cheese and it was good, but no where near the best bagel I have ever had. I don't think I would even call it great. However we were really glad we made the trip over to the market place because the views are amazing out front and if we hadn't tried Ess-a-Bagel we would have had fomo.

All the bacon!!!

Oh man, I was so pumped to find this bagel place after hearing about it on Tik Tok. I was fully prepared to see a long line but this location is inside of an enclosed street market and I went right when it opened, so there was only like one or two people around. I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese because I wanted a good NY bagel while visiting and Ess-A-Bagel delivered! I especially loved the generous helping of cream cheese-- I hate when places skimp out. The latte I ordered was also a great boost to start my day. Definitely recommend this place!

This was a great experience after Brooklyn bridge, sitting down to a lovely bagel. Highly recommend and great service

Morning Classic

Got the morning classic bagel - really nice and lovely staff, would go again. Loads of seating area too which was great

I'm a guy from Long Island, what the hell do I know about getting good bagels in the boroughs? I consider myself like Kung Fu, I travel the land and try the best regional specialties. Ess-a-bagel is one of my top five bagels in NYC. To have them located in The Time Out Market is awesome. I have my wife with me, I could have drove to Russ & Daughters for a quality bagel but I want to sit and sip some hot coffee and enjoy breakfast. Ess-a-bagel Brooklyn here we come. It's early in the morning and I find a parking spot close to the market, yay! We place our order for the Signature Favorite bagel. I asked for the bagel to be toasted and watched them create the signature which is stuffed with Nova Lox, Scallion Cream Cheese, Crispy Bacon, Avocado, Red Onion, Capers, Lettuce and Tomato. When I ordered, my wife said no to Bacon, Avocado and Red Onions thankyouverymuch. This is the Time Out market, there are communal tables for everyone to sit and enjoy their purchases. The toast on the bagel wasn't toasted at all and the bagel was a little doughy for my personal taste. But all is forgiven when they added the Nova Lox, Scallion Cream Cheese and Capers. Capers?! Yesssss.. This was an added treat, that salty pop made this a bagel treat fun to eat. Ess-a, thanks for making a good Bagel & Lox.

Ess-a-Bagel Wanted to check out Brooklyn and their Time-Out Market today. Haven't had a bagel during my stay in NY yet so I gave this place a try. I got their Signature Favorite: Nova Lox, Scallion Cream Cheese, Crispy Bacon, Avocado, Red Onion, Capers, Lettuce and Tomato (17.95). It was okay, wasn't anything special in particular. I was a bit disappointed, hoping the bagel would've taste more fresh. This market place was probably not the best place to look for an authentic bagel experience

I didn't realize it was in a food court before I went. At 8am on Sunday, it was pretty empty and the lines were short (about 5 people waiting to order before us), but the bagel wasn't particularly fresh. I found it chewy and tough, unfortunately.

Egg, cheddar, & tomato on plain bagel

The bagel here was absolutely delicious, but since I'm from Florida, I think that of all New York bagels! They messed up our order, giving my mom lettuce instead of tomato on hers, and switching which sandwich was on which type of bagel. The service was fine otherwise, but not very accurate. The ambiance is nice but a little overwhelming since it is in a food hall.

Best bagels around. Super filling and soft. So many options it'd take over a year to try them all but we have 2 down. Regular cream cheese and burger. Service was super quick and easy to see why there's almost always a line. Ambiance is cute but I'd rather eat it somewhere else as it can get quite packed.

Lox signature sandwich bagel

Dang should've read the other reviews before I ordered from here. The service was rude. They claimed they couldn't see the screen when I pointed to the item on the menu (they could've have just leaned over the counter to see the screen). They gave a buzzer to pick up the order but never rang it, so after 10 minutes of waiting I decided to check on my order and found it waiting on the counter. The lox bagel itself was ok. It had too much cream cheese and was overly salty. That being said, it's hard to go wrong with a lox bagel so overall it still a solid lox bagel if you're in the mood for one. The restaurant stall area itself is fine. It is in the middle of the Time Out Market so there are a lot people, but we managed to find a table nearby. It is a bit loud because there are a lot of people, but that is to be expected.

We went to TimeOut Market and thought this was the perfect time to have an NY bagel since I had not had one on my trip. I've heard Ess-a-Bagel is good and I was impressed. I got their lox bagel and a coffee which all came out to around $24 which is a lot for a bagel but also bet that is how much they usually are. Overall I enjoyed the bagel and it was hefty. The coffee was just okay. I heard that Ess-a-bagel usually has long lines but this location didn't which was great!

Not exaggerating. Took 35 mins for my food AND coffee. If you're hungry or in a rush. Not the place to go. Bagels were also burnt.

This place is great! Food is excellent. Came here with a party of 6, had a few different meals. My…read morewife hade the Cuban sandwich, excellent but $20, a bit pricey. I had the half chicken with rice and beans, may have been the best chicken I've ever had. Portion was huge. Everyone in party thought their meal was excellent. $16 cocktails Really friendly service but sloooow. Also at checkout had to ask server if gratuity had been already added. It had been..... credit card reader still had 20% and above tipping options.

TL;DR version- Some high highs and some very low lows. Hot Figs was a fun app. By a mile, the soups…read morewere the favorites, so I would recommend the Pepián or Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo. Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

Quaint neighborhood spot that's perfect for brunch. Came here on a Saturday and while the wait was…read moreabout an hr, there was plenty to do in the area to keep us busy. Every table has a placemat with crayons which is such a fun way to keep kids and adults entertained. The food was delicious and tasted fresh, living up to their messaging on sourcing local food. We ordered the egg katsu sandwich and the eggs rothko. The sandwich was very well made with a nice crisp panko crusting that didnt feel heavy on the oil, and yet still managed to have a light airy egg inside. The eggs rothko was buttery and flavorful but still managed to not feel too heavy. The broiled tomatos on the side were a nice touch to contrast the egg and toast from the main dish. Overall I enjoyed this place and would love to come back to try more dishes. The vibe was friendly and welcoming, making it the perfect weekend brunch spot.

If I were to do again, no sausage, I don't believe you need it for this sandwich. The chocolate milk is regular. - 4/5 Value (1-5): For what I got, I believe it is overpriced, even though it tasted really good, I don't know how many eggs are used to create the egg katsu, but $17 seems like a reach. There are other items on the menu that cost the same price but will make you feel more full. 3/5 Customer Service (1-5): The customer service was attentive and nice. 5/5
