Update: owner responded on Google with a nasty reply. Pretty unnecessary considering my review was very neutral. Lowering rating as a result. Screenshot attached. So it was actually a phenomenal bagel. I haven't lived in NYC for almost a year so maybe my taste buds have adapted to the lack of good bagels in London, but I'd consider the bagel to be NYC quality. Similarly, the service was akin to NYC. A bit snobby honestly. With that said, the vibe on the inside was amazing and it seemed like a great cafe for working during the day so I'll give them credit for that. The bagel was expensive - €4.50 for a bagel with cream cheese. The amount of cream cheese in the bagel was a joke. Thank god it was a good bagel because I basically ate it plain lol. And considering the price... Would I go back? I don't know, maybe? I'd probably order plain bagels and buy the cream cheese at the supermarket. read more

Bagel was very good, the vibe in there was very nice. However... They never brought me my bagel. I had ordered and I sat down with my number clearly displayed. I saw many people be served ahead of me, I saw a bagel that looked like my order be delivered to a different table. The people at that table returned the bagel, I thought the mistake would be realized and the bagel brought to me. The bagel did not arrive. I thought they might be re-making the bagel because the other table of guests had touched it. They were not remaking it. I went to ask about my bagel after 45min, the entire time I had been sitting with my number clearly displayed as instructed. They tried to blame me and my number not being visible for their mistake. I would not have been upset in this situation if they had not blamed me and lied to me about their mistake. I saw the bagel delivered to the wrong table so clearly the issue was not with my number being unfindable. Again, mistakes happen and I would not be leaving this review if not for their reaction. read more

Totally relaxed bagel place and the bagels are the real deal boiled and baked. Miles Davis playing in the background, English books to browse and everything with a light and gentle touch. A perfect way to start the day. read more

Fine Bagels - Fine Bagels Berlin. - Bagels Near Me - Berlin, BE

Fantastic bagels that comfort NY expats! Great delivery service and super quality.

Been there first time today after reading about the place online. Other than location (close to impossible to park) it is a very nice bagel shop, as close to NYC UWS as possible, made me feel like home! read more

Whoooooa that cheesecake! Probably one of the best cheesecakes that I have ever tasted. Order it!

A very comfortable space to order a coffee and/or bagel and do work. There is many small tables and benches inside and a lot of space outside. Nice decoration and friendly staff. The bagels are quite tasty and their take-away price is 1.20 EUR each. Coffee is a bit expensive. The background music is amazing (indie-alternative). Kudos! read more

These bagels are the real deal. This place is situated in an English bookstore and they serve up some delicious bagels with all kinds of spreads, amazing cookies, various yummy treats and some slammin' iced coffee. We went here on our way out of Berlin and all took extra bagels home with us. The service could use some work, but this place still deserves 5 stars for the bagels alone. I will definitely be back! read more

The bagles - amazing. The coffee - as good as it gets. The service - kind, and one of the only places where you can actually get service in English! wooho! The book selection - also in English - is relatively interesting. And of course the atmosphere is totaly woth it :) read more

Great bagels, snuggled up in a cute little book shop. Super busy on a Saturday but managed to score a window seat in the back room. The rye bagel with cream cheese and lox was a real treat. My favourite bagels in Berlin so far! read more

Fine Bagels - Rye bagel with chive cream cheese and lox with a flat white. - Bagels Near Me - Berlin, BE

They upcharged me €1 for substituting the "fancy cream cheese" in the lox bagel with vegan cream cheese. I would be fine with that normally, but the price on the board for a bagel with vegan cream cheese is €.40 less than a bagel with "fancy cream cheese". So why upcharge for something you charge less for on the menu? Otherwise the bagels are pretty decent. And the latte is quite good. But fix your substitution policy, it's stupid. read more

We loved this place so much, we went here two days in a row during our 5 day trip to Berlin. Who knew bagels and books were such a great combo! read more

I liked the ambiance and the food, but the service was glaringly on the rude side of life.

Living in Europe for the past 6 years, we've really missed real NY bagels. After randomly finding this place on Insta a few years ago, we've only been able to enjoy these bagels when my husband was on business in Berlin. Well, today I actually got to have the full Fine Bagels experience! The place is super cute, inside a bookshop selling unique books with an old world charm. The bagels didn't disappoint either! My rye bagel with avocado smash was absolutely perfect and the kids devoured the babka before I was able to snap a photo! read more

Fine Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Berlin, BE

It's kinda ridiculous that i had my best bagel so far in Berlin, not NYC which is so well-known for its jewish-originating bagel culture. It had a nice crust, still slightly warm, great cream cheese. It would be great if they had something like eggplant/vegetable stuff to put on the bagel (they do have this stuff in nyc). "Fine Bagels" also offer "third-wave" style coffee (e.g. cappuchino with great aroma and perfect milk foam at 2.50) and plenty of books - maybe thats a book store called shakespeare and sons in the same place? I didn't really understand whether that belongs to "Fine Bagels" or they just use the same room. Well, there are unfortunately also those Macbookhipsters but the shop owners are not to blame for that ;) Staff is very nice. Place could be a little bit more cosy but that's not enough for taking away the fifth star ;) read more

Nice location inside a book shop (which used to be just a bookshop, but now share the space with Fine Bagels). The bagels are nice and pretty fresh, but not something I'd go out of my way to eat. Fairly standard toppings, feels more like a random café style bagel than a "fine" bagel. read more

Really amazing bagels and vegan cookies!!! Only reason it gets 4 stars is that the coffee tastes a little-watered down for my liking.

just a place to pass by and buy a bagel if you don't have time to find something fancier

Amazing bagels!! Super nice girls working there. Very welcoming and sweet. It is a place where you can be for hours. Most of the crowd are young english speaking students/people who bring there mac and surf endlessly. Only tip I could give them is to have a bigger internet volume, because when you are with many it sometimes doesn't work. But overall my favorite!! read more

While the bagels are yummy, I would have loved mine to be toasted. For me, nothing beats a good crunch on a toasted bagel with cream cheese. Instead it was just sort of warm bread. Loved the book selection and the overall environment. read more
