    Says they are open at 5:30 but it's 5:45 and I'm waiting outside like an idiot. Bagels are good tho.

    Gerritsen beach bagels are a hidden secret of marine park/Mill Basin. Tucked away far from most public transit. Only accessible by car, bike, and a couple MTA busses. It's worth the hike. They now accept credit cards which is a huge plus.

    Gerritsen Bagels are some of the best bagels in Brooklyn. I really like how the seeds are on both sides of each bagel. Adds a nice extra touch to the taste of every bite. Their bagles are a nice size, and they add a good amount of cream cheese to each. The bagels are even better toasted. My favorite is the everything bagel.

    You have eaten a fresh baked bagel until you try this place out. They are the only place that palm rolls their bagels and that makes a big difference for me. Once you slide that butter on top... lord have mercy, praise the lord. You have been blessed. This placed also deliver excellent customer service with style. How? Visit this place and request for a bacon, egg, and cheese. You will notice that the cook make sure your meal is perfect. I actually walked out the place to confirm I was at the right store, because I thought I was on live set for Cooking Network. You want to confirm this place is excellent? -I am willing to travel 20 mins to eat their bagels and you now that mean a lot when gas prices are too high in NYC. -People have traveled from Ct and SI to purchase their bagels. Please realize the tools are over 10 dollars, so when a person is willing to pay tool for bread. You need to need to visit this place to find out why!

    Ham egg and cheese on a rainbow bagel. Basically me, if I were a food.

    You know when you go to a neighborhood and have food and consider moving there based on that alone? Yeah, this is one of those places. I got a rainbow bagel with ham, egg and cheese like a true goy. I had no idea they had rainbow bagels (or ham) so this was a real treat. The novelty of the bagel didn't take away from the quality. The bagel was the best I have had ever. Deliciously crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside. They put the cheese in between the eggs. I always appreciate a high regard for perfect sandwich bite ratios. Good job! We also had an everything bagel with lox spread, tomatoes and onions. I always prefer actual lox and cream cheese to lox spread but whatever. Who cares on a bagel this perfect? For a coffee, a bagel and lox spread and an egg sandwich it was like 5 bucks. Duh. Get your butts over to Gerritsen Bagels.

    Rainbow bagel with funfetti cream cheese. Kinda sweet but worth it

    I wanted to try a rainbow bagel for ages now. However, everywhere else ran out fast, loaded with tourists, and had super long lines. They were way out of reach of course. Well farther out than I feel is necessary to trek for a bagel to be honest. Luckily, this place is not far, its easy to park, not expensive, and zero tourists. Seriously, I am grateful that gentrifiers and tourists do not swarm to these parts of Brooklyn. They Betta NOT! Anyway they had a ton of rainbow bagels and different color cream cheese that taste freakin good.

    Had an everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. It was just ok. Way too much bread as the bagel was super thick.

As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

We wanted to try something different after having explored so many of the typical places in Manhattan and Shelsky's came highly recommended While I was expecting a long wait on a Saturday mid-morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find the establishment with only a few in line before us. Now, I was desperately seeking a very simple belly lox with schmear, but much to my dismay, they didn't have any more belly lox. I was heartbroken and had to figure out a plan B While I pondered, the family quickly ordered a Peter Shelsky, a Great Gatsby, and a Fancy Pants. I crumbled in my panic and jumped in with another Peter Shelsky. We also tried a small amount of whitefish salad and a beet/thyme salad The service was quick and we were able to grab two of the three small tables at the front to enjoy our fare. Soon we were digging in and from the immediate silence, I could tell everyone was enjoying their choices. The bagels were on the smaller side, denser with a firm crust. We did enjoy the bagels, but I could see how someone not familiar with this style may find them too "cardboard-y" I have to say, the pickled herring on the Peter Shelsky was fantastic, but was way too overpowering for the nova and sable. I actually regretted my choice and would order something more sunken next time. (Or get to the store earlier to beat the rush for the darn belly lox!) The beet salad was quite a nice balance to for the bagels adding a bit of brightness. The whitefish salad was solid - a hint of smoke and a creamy puree. Some who prefer a chunkier whitefish salad might find this less than satisfactory, but the flavors were great A cure store, friendly and patient staff, a great first exposure to Brooklyn for the boys. We'll be back (and we want belly lox!!)
