These bagels are not overrated. They are actually some of the best bagels we've ever had. Its crispy edges on every bite. So addictive. Also live their schmears and so fresh ingredients. A bit expensive though but you pay for you get. Try their coffee too. Really good latte. I took off a star because one of the ladies on the counter making the food seems to be having a bad day. No smile or any emotions. Expensive for what it is but definitely worth a try once as they were rated having some of the best bagels. read more

Fantzye Bagels - The Big Lox - Two sourdough bagels topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and a generous amount of microgreens are displayed in a white takeout container. The bagels are placed on a piece of parchment paper, and the microgreens include various small leafy greens and sprouts. The background suggests the photo was taken inside a vehicle, with a blurred dashboard visible. - Bagels Near Me - Kingston, New York

For the cognicenti. One everything bagel to go, nothing on it, $3.50. Nothing special. Kingston heading to 4,000 a month rent, so why not 3.50 bagels. Enjoy. read more

My NYC bagel-loving friend Jane, has a better handle at keeping me in the loop with new restaurant openings in my area....than I do. On Hasbrouck Ave in Kingston, NY, Fantzye is a chilled-out and airy spot. Seating is decent- just cross your fingers for a table if you happen to come here Sat+Sun. Despite Fantzye's mid-range rating, I still made time to come here after noticing their menu. Plus, Bagel+Lox has had a strong hold on me for a while now. There are other combinations, like the 2 fried eggs+cheddar+aioli (you can omit) sandwich, the Veggie Delight or meat based like the Pastrami and others. Ordering is smooth and considering I just popped up in here, my Bagel+Lox with a sliver of cream cheese request was done ASAP. My sandwich was hefty and topped with a parsley+big amount of dill in a delicate dressing that seeped in the bread. Honestly, it didn't make the bread soggy at all. While the bagel had very little crisp on the outside, Fantzye's are also the chunky type. You, might find them comfortingly doughy. My hot chocolate (or hot cocoa) was creamy- but it missed a rich dose of cocoa and for $5, I expected better. Bagels are pricy here. I get it I'm not in the city where a bagel could run at least $1.50- even when you go to the many fame bagel spots in The BX- but $3 a pop here is way out of my league. And $20 for a Bagel+Lox? The only other place I can think of is in Dobbs Ferry, NY where Liebman's would make a gargantuan $30 bagel+lox; I could actually make 3 sandwiches out that one. Ventilation needs adjustment. Service is friendly though. read more

I read an article that this new bagel shop was set to open just around the end of November 2024 Unlike traditional New York style bagels. This shop makes their bagels by hand. Sourdough bagels you can get your bagel with plain cream cheese or one of their three flavored cream cheeses I figured I'd go in and just order a few bagels to go and one of their containers of cream cheese I parked and went in. The Shop was quite busy with a lot of people sitting at the tables eating. It was 1:30 PM about an hour before closing time. I was greeted warmly with a nice smile from the young lady behind the counter. She asked what would I like? I told her three bagels without anything on them. One poppyseed bagel, everything and plain. She said I put two extra bagels in your bag. Perhaps they did this because it was getting close to closing time. I asked what the most popular flavored cream cheese was. She said the lemon caper so I got an 8 ounce container Each of the bagels were priced at $3. Which is about double the price of a traditional New York style bagel at some of the popular bagel shops in Kingston. The flavored cream cheese was also pricier here than another bagel shop that I like in Kingston that's been there for several years I drove home and was eager to try one of the bagels with the cream cheese I looked in the bag and saw they did indeed add two extra bagels to my order. I sliced the bagel and put on the lemon caper cream cheese. I picked up the bagel and took a few bites. Bagel itself had a very nice sourdough flavor a bit tangy but a very good balance. The bagel had a moist consistency that I haven't noticed when getting fresh New York style bagels. The lemon caper cream cheese was fantastic. Just the right balance between the lemon and the caper. Neither flavor overpowered the other. I must say that I really liked the sourdough flavor of the bagel more than I thought I would. Just because it's not a "traditional New York bagel" shouldn't stop you from getting a sourdough bagel here The price,if you have the bagel in the shop are definitely more than the other bagel shops in town $6 for a " Schmeer" on a bagel, which means cream cheese, plain or flavored $10.00 for "the classic" a egg with cheese, aïoli and greens. If you want to add bacon, that's an extra. $4. Making it $13. So I can understand people feeling that these prices are pretty high. So I suggest going in and getting 3-4 bagels at a time. So you can enjoy the fresh taste of them. Get an 8 ounce container of either the plain or flavored cream cheese. So in conclusion, I would definitely recommend the sourdough bagels here. They're different but very very good. High-quality ingredients for sure for the bagel and the cream cheese. I'll probably come back and try one of the breakfast sandwiches with the greens and the aïoli and pick a choice of cheese read more

I grew up in Kingston and I'm always looking for new breakfast spots. I've had the veggie bagel once before and LOVED it but I had it again and everything was missing except the cream cheese and cucumber. Disappointed but still good nonetheless. read more

Fantzye is my favorite bagel shop - our family goes there constantly. The staff is always super friendly and fun to chat with, and the bagels are not only the best in town but the best anywhere in my opinion. It's almost bad that they're so close to our house because I want to go every day. read more

Another Fantzye Bagels (392 Hasbrouck Ave) day, here in Kingston. This time, stacked with meaty mushrooms and scallion cream cheese. I actually find myself craving these bagels. Nothing as crusty or crispy around. Pretty good coffee too! https://www.instagram.com/b.overly_delicious read more

This is a review by a vegetarian This is a premium sourdough style bagel that's not quite a New York classic. It's really an excellent product and also a tad more expensive than you'd expect at a regular yeasted dough shop. read more

When I heard there was a new bagel spot opening in Kingston I had to check it out. Handmade Sourdough bagels with fancy schmear sounds right up my alley. The location isn't the best for parking but it didn't take too long to find on street parking. The space is light and welcoming five tables to sit at and a small bar for counter service as well. The staff member working the register was polite and welcoming. I wish I had better things to say about the bagel and the coffee, but it was just not my kind of bagel. Iced mocha that I would have sworn had no coffee in it at all. Everything bagel was really nicely seasoned, I love when the whole outside of the bagel is covered in toppings but the texture of the bagel was not for me. Chewy to the point of almost being difficult to chew. Scallion cream cheese was the best part of the meal. Overall, not a bad bagel just not the one I would pick out of the many available spots in Kingston read more

Fantzye Bagels - Cortado - Bagels Near Me - Kingston, New York

The food itself is great dont get me wrong and a fresh spot in an outdated town...That being said the staff couldn't be more rude and the food couldn't be more overpriced. Wish they made you feel welcome after spending 60 bucks on 3 bagels and a coffee but instead they make you feel like you are a disservice and somehow the problem for the things they are all seemingly going through personally. Hoping they warm up their attitudes and not just the bagels read more

The food here is absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended. The service was attentive and informative. The vibe here is chill and the staff is kind and not overly sticky sweet - which I wonder if that's what other reviewers are b**ching about. They are focused on the food and that's just fine, you don't need a hug from everyone. read more

Fantzye bagels is delicious and we're super excited to have them in the neighborhood after watching them build out the space this last year! Beautiful food and coffee, amazing attention to detail, and efficient service - especially since they've only been open for about a week and have been slammed every day!! I love sunrise and some of the other cheaper options around, but don't mind paying for a fancy bagel once in a while. It's just a different category of food, and worth the price. Especially knowing that they pay the staff well and use really high quality ingredients. Welcome!! read more

Unfortunately I've been here twice and it hasn't delivered. Bagels are doughy, and they are extremely overpriced for what they are.

Didn't care for the sourdough bagel with cream cheese 1. @ $6.50 tough to swallow if you get my meaning... hopefully kingston can afford to eat here..they did a good thing with that bldg.i wish them well but can't go back will cont. W/ other providers of excellent bagels. read more

Perfect sourdough bagels and delightful schmear (I love the fermented chili; ramp has been great this spring). If you don't think $6 is a reasonable price for an artisan naturally fermented breakfast...??? read more

Fantastic "everything" bagel with the beet/horseradish schmear! Bagel was crispy on the outside, chewy and delicious on the inside. It was nice to sit and chat with other diners on a cold Saturday morning. The place was hopping! One request -- maybe play quiet jazz or a mellower mix of music. Looking forward to returning! read more

Best bagel I have ever had in Kingston. I love the taste, the chew of the bagel. The size is perfect. The perfection of the bagel is worth the price. I welcome this business to our small town of Kingston, please stay! Thank you read more

Fantastic addition to the Kingston food scene. Bagels were exactly spot on. They serve Parlor roasting coffee - also superb. The space is well thought out and comfortable. Folks behind the counter were pleasant and accomodating ... food came out quickly. I had the big lox and my partner went with the delicious egg and bacon. Will be back. read more

Stopped by with the family and had assorted bagel sandwiches. Awesome combos! Salmon melt on everything bagel was superb! You need to try this place. read more

Love this spot! Unique sourdough style bagels with amazing cream cheese. You can tell they use higher quality ingredients than the average bagel place. Bright airy space, nice layout for hanging out with friends. Love that they serve to-stay orders with ceramic plates and cute mugs. read more

Nice chewy bagel, really enjoy the Gouda & Fantzye. Since they're new, staff is doing the best they can with the amount of business they're getting, I'm sure they'll find their footing. The ambience is pleasant, warm art deco crossed with an airy farmhouse vibe. They get great light in the morning, grab one of the prime window spots to enjoy your bagel and coffee. read more

$17 for 6 Bagels. Mediocre at best. Ambiance, okay. Please go back to the boroughs. This is another hipster cafe, with extremely overpriced food and drink. read more

First time here, won't be back. Been wanting to check out this place since opening, so today I went in for a bagel with cream cheese. First impression: clean, funky, crowded - seemed like a new hotspot. Second impression: very limited selection of bagels (6-8 varieties) and even more limited menu that was unusual - but ok, unusual can can be good. Then I watched the tall skinny worker in a baseball cap handling the food - no gloves, yet holding the bagel in the palm of his hand while smearing butter or cream cheese on it. Itched his face a few times and wiped his hands on his grimy apron. Then he put on gloves to add salmon, then took them off again before serving. I was going to say something but didn't want to be that guy, so I hoped he would handle my bagel differently. Nope. He bare-palmed each bagel half while smearing cream cheese, then wrapped and handed it to me. I politely said thank you, walked to my car, and threw away my $6 piece of contaminated food. I can't rate the bagel because I never ate it, and from now on I will go to Sunrise bagels where at least they have a wider variety of bagels and cream cheeses. I'm sorry to write this review, I was looking forward to supporting a new business. I won't return but do wish them luck - the crowd seemed to be enjoying themselves. read more

I was Happy and excited to watch them Building, but Oh so disappointed ! These are not the Classic Bagels I grew up with in NYC , H&H , Ess-a- Bagel nothing like a true Bagel ( yes ,I get it "Sourdough"(?) no Schmears, no regular Salads. The Prices are way above what anyone should pay for a bagel ($3.00!) and $20 bucks for a small smoked fish salad! I don't know who they are targeting as customers. If you want another Overpriced Hipster stop , yes, but Waaaay to Fantzye for me! Give me Lox of Bagels anyday! Real NY style , 2 bagels and 1/4 lb of delicious tuna for under $8 bucks!! read more
