Decent quality bagels! Had the pleasure of stopping by here before a concert for a quick bite. I ordered the everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The bagel itself was done right - slightly crispy on the outside, a little (but not too) chewy on the inside. Did the flavors blow me away? Not really, but I was satisfied. Service was quick and efficient. What I liked is that this seems to have its fair share of regulars sitting outside, adding to the New York ambiance. In short, I would come back if I was in the area.

Homemade egg sandwich on a plain bagel

I'm very picky about my bagels when it comes to size, texture, chew, taste, and how well they hold up in sandwich form. I've gone to many bagel shops in the boroughs and on long island in my decades of New York living. Forest Hills Bagels is one of my go-to spots. The only knocks I have are some of the bagels aren't consistent in shape and when the server blindly gives me one of the misshapen bagels. Otherwise, they are solid bagels and they even have a juice bar for those into a healthier lifestyle. They're renovated the inside relatively recently and it's a nice upgrade

Toasted Everything Bagel with Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese
Carina H.

This bagel shop felt like an authentic NYC bagel shop, not a social media famous spot. There was only a few seats, so this is more of a grab and go kind of place. On the weekend, there was everyone from moms with kids to individuals there wanting to grab bagels. This spot was bustling. It wasn't too crowded and while there wasn't a wait to order, there was a bit of a wait for our orders. I ordered the toasted Everything Bagel with Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese. Although the Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese was good, it felt more of a dessert filling than a sweet cream cheese. The Everything Bagel itself was perfect, chewy and soft at the same time.

Got a couple of moldy bagels the first time we came here :( The place is located in a weird place by the side of the blvd too, not easy to walk to

Not the best bagel I've have or the best breakfast sandwich just kinda basic flavors and textures. Nothing fancy. Service was fast and got my order right but the food was just eh

Lox Bagel- fantastic
Najwa G.

Forest Hills Bagels is really great and I am glad that they are open 365 days a week (albeit I hold their employees get vacation too everyone needs it). This place deserves all the hype that it gets- it's solid fresh bagels at fantastic prices, what's not to love? They also don't skimp on the lox and capers if you order a classic lox bagel and you can tell the salmon is fresh quality. Coffee could be better but I could care less about that to be honest. Every employee is super nice too despite how busy it gets. All in all, I will seemingly always go to Forest Hills Bagels whenever I'm in the area (and rightfully so)!

I stopped by Sunday afternoon, and I could tell this was a neighborhood favorite because the parking lot was packed. Fortunately, it is a high-traffic area so you will not have to wait long for a parking space. I ordered a sesame bagel with sundried tomato cream cheese ($5) and a toasted egg bagel with butter ($2.50). These bagels are definitely on the softer and fluffier side and while they lack that thick crust, I thought they were very easy and delicious to eat. I wasn't a fan of the sundried tomato cream cheese though, as it had a strange chalky mouthfeel.

Hey there glad you guys are back and making bagels the way forest hills has always been congrats as usual my cup of cafe and a butter bagel with turkey bacon yum yum go get you some.

I'm a fan! This is a real NYC bagel spot. We got a sesame bagel with egg and cheese, everything bagel with 2 eggs, cheese, HASH BROWNS, and a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was so good, this place deserves a higher rating than what it has in my opinion. Service was attentive, fast, and delicious. Iced coffee also hit the spot, what more can you ask for?

Sausage egg cheddar cheese on an everything bagel
Amanda M.

This is our go-to quick takeout breakfast spot! They have some parking and some outdoor dining, but we always do take out. Sometimes there is too little cheese or egg, but the vast majority of the time they are consistent with really fast service. Takes credit card.

Thank you Utopia Bagels!!!***** I have been a long time customer coming here for many years basically putting the same order in that.

I went there today to put my order in to find out, they are no longer making mini cinnamon raisin bagels. What! That is absolutely ridiculous. In fact the only reason I come to Utopia Bagels all the way from Long Island is because of their cinnamon raisin mini bagel very very very disappointing.

I observed a lot of staff behind the counter and they were moving and shaking with great customer service. The store had a little bit of everything that a corner store/deli would sell. I noticed a vegan menu, waffles and pancakes, chips, fresh baked items, assorted cream cheese and hot and cold drinks. They also had a lunch menu with a variety of sandwiches. I ordered a toasted French toast bagel with peanut butter. I also ordered a strawberry bagel for the next day. I also purchased a cranberry and coconut butter cookie. Everything was fresh and delicious. I never had a strawberry bagel and it wasn't sweet. It tasted like a plain bagel with color, lol. Overall, I would check this spot out again and try some different menu items.

It was just I can't even get over how bad this was and it was my last morning in New York and to go to New York and not get an egg sandwich should be a sin but to get an egg sandwich that was this horrible. It's just down right disappointing. The bagels were good though

And the rest of the menu is impressive and expansive. I often only get a poppy bagel with lox spread but I've branched out lately and frequently get the breakfast burrito with avocado, potato, cheese and egg. It's fantastic and filling and comes with a nice little green sauce. That said, I do feel rushed anytime I'm here, even if I'm basically the only person in the line. I'd probably have ordered more stuff at this point if I felt like I had any time to read the menu. And it's gotten too expensive. I know the economy sucks right now but there's got to be other ways of adapting to a bad economy than by just raising prices. A bagel w cream cheese shouldn't cost 6 or 7 dollars. Inflation's high but not that high. And speaking of the menu, they're doing the weird and gross AI food menu thing that you're seeing all over the place now. It's completely unnecessary. It's inaccurate, the food doesn't look right, and you really should just either hire someone to illustrate your food or photograph it, or just not have the creepy AI imagery. It's unattractive. But the bagels are excellent. What can I say?
