    Brokkoli-Caesar Bagel
    Marina B.

    My first time coming here after R&D closed but Gertie did not disappoint! Had the yummiest Brokkoli-Caesar Bagel (not a combination I would have thought of but shows what I know!!) and their patio is now dog-friendly. Expect to see me here a lot with my Laptop this summer!

    Inside Sandwich Menu

    After an early morning walk to Prospect Park on this not so cold Saturday morning, us three were walking back to our (actually their) condo, but stopped on the way to pick up breakfast at Gertie's on Vanderbilt. This small restaurant is the satellite of Gertrude's right around the corner. Both are excellent! The menu here at Gertie's was "Classic Jewish Deli" except for this unique twist - their sandwiches! These offbeat but delicious sandwiches were very impressive; and I fell in love with all of them. I chose the Egg + Cheese sandwich with cheddar, pickled peppers, Gertie's hot sauce and bacon. Wow, did I enjoy this sandwich! So much so, guess where I'm going tomorrow for breakfast?

    Egg and Cheese with Bacon

    Gertie is already packed! At 11:15am on a Sunday, I waited a total of 45 minutes. I tried the Egg and Cheese with Bacon Challah bread. It was really tasty and I enjoyed the peppers and hot sauce on it. However, I'm not sure it is worth $16. I also tried the babka, which I was lucky to get as a new one just came out of the oven making it nice and warm. It wasn't as sweet as some I have had but I enjoyed it. I also tried the lime rickey, which is overpriced at $6, but pro tip--ask them to add grenadine! Everyone seemed to be enjoying their sandwiches. There were no bagels left, so can't comment on those. The service was top notch and friendly, everyone was working diligently to get orders taken, food made and delivered. The inside is fairly small in the front with a few bar top seats. This is a great addition to the neighborhood, but comes at a steep price point. I'll come back when I want to splurge!

    Came to Gertie for a quick bite, we ordered the egg and cheese on a plain bagel. And grabbed two plain bagels on the side. The bagels themselves were very chewy and did not have the quality we are usually expecting from an NYC bagel

    "GERTIE is a modern "Jew-ish" deli and appetizing shop inspired by New York's great bagel institutions. " I AM a Gertie girl! I schlepped* from Bay Ridge to Grand Street numerous times to eat her chopped veggie cheese sandwich! What a sandwich, schlepping under the BQE to get to that sandwich.. worth it! Then, Gertie closed this past June looking for new home.. I stopped over the summer at Gertrude's* on Carlton to ask the Manager when the new Gertie's was to open. "Don't worry Fawn it's in the works!" Well.. here I am standing in front of 602 Vanderbilt Avenue with a huge smile! I opened the door to a packed house and pleasant order salutations: "Ernie, your schnitzel is ready!" Gertie's menu is a bit short and sweet; bagels, latkes and sandwiches. Bagels your way, if you are a Yenta kvetch* there is the Yenta Sandwich and latkes with assorted toppings. I previewed the menu before coming in and was leaning heavy on the Tuna Melt but then.. I totally switched gears and did a Costanza* ordered the Egg and Cheese on a whole wheat bagel with Turkey pastrami and a house made Black Cherry soda. There is only a small counter seating and that's it thus, when I heard "Fawn, Turkey pastrami egg and cheese.." I ate it outside. *Nu, you ask? How was it? The egg and cheese on the sesame bagel was delicious, the pickled peppers added a kick in my touchas* and I loved the turkey pastrami but a tad salty. The soda was lackluster and sorry to say, overpriced. What I loved about the new digs: the customer service is still outstanding, the quality of the food is excellent and love the menu options. I also loved the wall as you enter that is nostalgic to the Gertie's on Grand. I do miss the size of the other location, I love to sit and enjoy my meal and even if I had a seat at the window, too packed. The big letdown: no chopped veggie cheese. C'mon Gertie list it as limited edition.. How many *Mazel tovs: 5 602 Vanderbilt is bookmarked in my iPhone. *** Jewish Glossary *schlepped: move with effort *yenta: a woman who is a busybody *kvetch: a complainer *Costanza: ordering the opposite from what you intended as in Seinfeld, George orders the opposite: chicken salad on rye, untoasted, with a side of potato salad and tea, which is the exact opposite of his usual tuna on toast *nu?: Well? *touchas: posterior *Mazel tov: good luck or good fortune Gertie's: 602 Vanderbilt Avenue Take 2 train to Grand Army Plaza, exit at Plaza Street East/Vanderbilt Walk @7 minutes

    Sesame bagel
    Charlie R.

    Cute shop nice decor and pleasant vibe. $14 for two bagels w/ cream cheese without any other add ons is expensive even for the neighborhood. Limited bagel and schemer varieties.

    Bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel. With Gertie hot sauce and pickled peppers!

    Amazing bagels that they make in house! Super busy but worth the wait. They handed out samples for people in line which is awesome. Huge backyard with tons of outdoor seating too!

    Insanely priced. Bacon egg and cheese came to $17 and some change and was average. Go across the street to Brooklyn bagel shop instead

    Unbelievable lack of quality control. The moment I opened the foil, it smelled completely burnt,…read moreand as you can see in the photo, half the bagel is completely charred black. It's baffling that a kitchen would wrap this up and serve it. I tried calling to fix the issue, but the phone just rings out. Horrible food and zero customer service. Never again!

    I typically come in here only when I'm the area. The establishment is always clean and opens early…read moream 5am which is a such a plus if you work extremely early in the morning. 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.

    Well I have ordered several times from this. Brooklyn bagels for smoked salmon and bagels…read more Intrigued with the Szechuan peppercorn and cracked pepper bagels which arrived today mostly hard and waiting for breakfast to see condition Disappointing on first feel The smoked gaspe salmon though is always excellent and I had ordered.

It there was an absence of sufficient smoke This was a 1/5 for sure Tomorrow I will update whether this is the last time I order and retreat to Zanar's nyc and sable for these products Brooklyn may be left in the dust

I went with their Member of the Tribe which is one of their more popular items. The sliced Nova and toppings were fresh and flavorful. I found the bagel to just be OK as I have had better elsewhere in the City. Overall, I'd happily return when I'm in the area for another breakfast sandwich. Good food & friendly service made for a very enjoyable start to the day.

    You can find this location of Brooklyn Bagel at 286 8th Ave, New York, NY 10001 in Chelsea. As with…read moreother eateries in NYC, probably best to walk to this location and forgo looking for the near non-existent parking. I was looking for a breakfast spot close to my hotel near 7th Ave and found a couple of contenders on 8th Ave - I decided to hit Brooklyn Bagel as it showed more reviews. We have Brooklyn Bagel in Atlanta so I'm familiar with the chain - most Atlanta bagels are sub-par, something about the horrible Atlanta water. I figured it was time to sample a location in NYC. This location is fairly old-school, directly on 8th Ave between W 24th and W25th streets. Coming in there was a line but it moved quickly - you go to the back of the shop, call out what you want and move towards the register to pay. I think it took about 7 minutes to get the BKbagel Classic - - smoked Nova salmon, scallion cream cheese, onion, tomato & capers. I asked for it on a toasted everything and it was everything I thought it would be - perfect bite. Service was great, no nonsense but friendly. I sat at one of the long wall counters and wolfed down my sandwich with a cup of Joe. No complaints here.

    Decided to stop in for a bagel during our quick day trip into the City. Knew we wanted a NY bagel,…read moreso decided to go a little out of the way to try this one. This location is loud and energetic when you walk in. Seemingly want to pumped up about buying some bagels haha. The staff was very helpful because we weren't sure what we wanted, but they helped walk us through some options and eventually settled on the classic NY bagel. Cream cheese, salmon, and capers, etc. on the soft, delicious bagel. Also got a blueberry muffin for the kids and they loved that! All in all great experience. I'd drop it down to 4.5 stars just because the loud setting is not really my vibe, but everything else was great!
