Egg and cheese on everything bagel is 10/10. No crowd and line, unlike some of the shops in the main avenues of Forest hills. Quick service and fresh food as well. read more

These bagels suck. They are not real nyc bagels you would expect from a bagel shop. They are supermarket bagels from key food. Oversized, fluffy inside no crunch. Salmon cream cheese was also subpar. It was thin and foamy not rich like cream cheese should be. They're definitely skimping on the quality of their cream cheese. Service is meh - it's a bagel shop so whatever but they aren't particularly friendly. The shop itself is not exactly inviting or demonstrating that the owners care. So disappointed in this place. On top if that as of july 2025, they have a C rating from the health department. It takes a LOT of violations for a C rating. Yuck. Cross this place off if you want a real bagel. If you like supermarket bagels go to key food - they're half the price there. read more

The food was amazing and our waitress T Tanisha was the best. Definitely will come back. Food 10/10. Music was great

I'm a big fan of Michael's Bagels. It's a neighborhood spot and it always seems like there are regulars there. There isn't a ton of seating, so it's more of a grab and go spot, not so much a sit down place. They've got everything you'd expect from a typical bagel joint, including a ton of cream cheese options and other spreads. Living in Boston, I'm always excited to have a New York bagel and these bagels here lived up to my expectations. The bagels are soft, with just the right amount of chew, and they're not too dense. I just went for an everything bagel with no spread this time, but when I've had their tuna and egg salad in the past, they were pretty solid. I'd recommend if you're looking for a casual place to grab some breakfast or lunch! read more

A went here earlier this year when we first moved to the neighborhood and it was okay. Price was reasonable, and the bagels were hot while soft and bready on the inside if not traditional; good spreads. What I like best was the old signs and charm of a spot that had been around a while. Recently they changed all the signage to somewhat tacky modern stuff and raised all the prices. Lost the charm it had left. Not it just blends in with everything else on Queens Blvd. Hopefully the loyal clients keep coming as it is a decent place to get a grab and go on Austin that is not Dunkin. But generally I'll not be going anymore as it's way overpriced. read more

Excellent everything bagels! Staff was a bit more attentive before they changed owners recently but still very good. Sad,y, I believe the muffins are a mass Price Club or other big box store buy and they just double the price. read more

Bagels are not fresh, eggs are not beaten before cooking, bacon doesn't look real, cashier haggled me to pay more and kept calling me "Boss". I stopped eating the BEC read more

You come here for the bagels, not the service. We decided to try it one day when we passed by and noticed it was emptier than usual. We didn't see anyone use credit card so guess it might be a cash-only spot. We tried an onion bagel with scallion cream cheese and ate it right away. It has a great crunchy exterior with a gently toasted interior and thick slab of cream cheese. Firm, not runny cream cheese. Plenty of scallion. Good chunk and great flavor. It was really enjoyable. We came twice - one time where staff wasn't chatty (older gentleman) and another time when the staff (different employees) were great. It's all good because the bagels will speak for themselves. Almost $11 for two bagels so it depends on how much you really want that bagel. Yet another time, three bagels were $13. I do love that crunch with their toasted bagels though. Definitely look forward to going back. read more

Decent bagel shop with efficient service and a good selection of bagels (though you have to come early if you want all the flavors bc if they run out, then they're just out) and cream cheese. A little pricey, especially if you're getting additional toppings, like lox. If you're eating at home, I'd recommend buying your lox somewhere else and just adding it on yourself (though the lox quality is quite good here). Stopped by for a quick lunch and got a cinnamon raisin bagel with vegetable cream cheese. Bagel isn't too dense or too fluffy and the cream cheese has a good cream cheese to vegetable ratio. The flavors aren't particularly strong in either, which is great if you wanna top it off with some lox or different topping as well. There are definitely raisins and other chunks of vegetable in the bagel and cream cheese which is great for the occasional extra bit of flavor. Service was very quick and to the point. Not much of a line (though it WAS the afternoon). There was only one employee so I did not witness any screaming or oddities that the other review mentioned. I also got a pretty simple order, so did not have to repeat it or clarify. The few times in the past that I've been, I've never had an issue with my order though, so it may have been a fluke that the other review mentioned. read more

These don't taste like regular bagels at all. They taste like hard dry rolls. Dissapointing.

A look at the sanitary grade of this place (https://a816-health.nyc.gov/ABCEatsRestaurants/#!/Search/50149125) is sure to take your appetite away. Mice, flies, food stored at improper temperatures, and no place for employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom. Heena Bagel got a C grade, but removed the C grade certificate from their window, contrary to NYC rules. read more

The new owners make doughy bagels that look like bread rolls. Such a disappointment, even grocery store have better bagels than this place. read more

After hearing about how wonderful Michael's bagels is from many people, I decided I should give them a try. I am pretty loyal to Bagels 4 You. I went inside to order and heard the owner/manager yelling at a worker. That was SUCH a turnoff that I turned around and left without even trying the bagel. How you act in front of customers is very important. I am not sure I would come back read more

I asked for a buttered bagel with extra butter and what they did was suffocate my bagel with Margarine, I almost threw up in my mouth from eating it. I do not recommend buying or eating here as you're not going to get what you order. they're cutting corners by selling you margarine in place of butter. all I was left with was a balll of grease between my teeth read more

Meodicore at best . Save your time and money and go to any other bagel place in forest hills . Bagels for you , gotta get a bagel , select bagels . Just go somewhere else lol my first and last time here the bagels aren't fresh and I had a piece of paper in my bagel . read more

Always freshly-made and best bagel in town. Never been disappointed and it's pretty addicting. You just need self-control.

Giving 2 stars for exceptional customer service. They make the bagels on premise which is always a plus for me. However, I wasn't a fan of the cleanliness, but I still made a purchase anymore, because I was desperate to eat. Wasn't a fan of my plain bagel and will definitely not return read more

I'll never understand a bagel place that opens at 6am yet never has bagels ready until 7:15-7:30 :-/

This is not a good New York bagel, this is something I would expect to get in the Midwest. I see they have a kitchen in the back but I someone how tastes like a frozen bagel from the supermarket. I got a pumpernickel and it had too much caraway seed flavor to it. My husband got the everything bagel with garlic herb cream cheese. His was slightly better but nothing I'd go back for with so many other options in the neighborhood. read more

I recently brought six bagels from this establishment. Three plain and three Cinnamon Raisins. I purchased these items at 10am, last Tuesday morning. All six items were stale. I could have used the Cinnamon raisins bagels for hockey pucks (all three). The three plain bagels faired no better, they were dry and doughy, toasting them did not help, as toasting bought out the fact that they were not throughly baked. I also ordered the tuna fish, very bland. This was my second time ordering bagels, the first time I ordered three plain bagels, at a later in the afternoon, and they were very good. This time, I was extremely disappointed, an absolute waste of money. Will not be returning back. Previous reviews, complimented this place, even though there was a new owner. New owner is missing the mark for what based on the reviews, was a great bagel spot. read more

I'm a fan of this style bagel. Crunchy bottom, fluffy inside. Nice flavor and great toasted.

Somehow, someway I missed the new ownership signs frim Bagels, ETC. Odd, as I am in and around the area with frequency, so I walked in to give Michaels a try. The very first visual, I tease you not, was that of a sixty something year old gentleman behind the counter attempting to untangle a foot long strip of saran wrap with his mouth. So, I though that this fellow is either about to perform a magic trick, like making a bialy disappear or lacked any clue of food handling rights and wrongs. Well, the bialy didn't disappear & the offender waddled into the back after an assistant came to his rescue & saved the plastic, much to my chagrin. The bagels coming over the counter looked unappealing and my order wasn't eagerly taken by Frick and Frack in the front, as the folded piece of saran wrap image danced in my head. Out of the back came a woman, possibly married to the gent still playing with the same plastic I could view over her left shoulder, I think she was attempting to shield his buffoonery. She looked tired as if this was not his first attempt witnessing this Cosmo Kramer episode. Taking my order with a subtle smile, my everything bagel with scallion cream cheese was served up with a warm smile. It was excellent, rye made it in the everything topping adding a wonderful flavor to the finish. Saran Man promptly waddled back to collect the four dollars, apparently having lost round one to the scrappy little cut of sealing material. read more

Was there recently and got an everything bagel with sliced salmon and cream cheese. My two issues which prevented me from giving them a better rating is my bagel had very little cream cheese, and lastly the sign posted the price as $9.20 but I was charged $12.00 not including tax. Don't know how legal that is to do but doubtful I'll ever go back again. read more

Mediocre bagels. They skimp on spreads. Service is unfriendly. They don't take credit cards. read more

As a self-confessed NYC native bagel snob. Micheals on Ascan is some of the best Bagels. Their external texture is right on...the inside could be a little more denser. I think it was a little too on the airy side. They always give a bakers dozen - they are always busy and have plenty of options for spreads. read more

Good bagels but a sausage egg and cheese doesnt have hotdog on it, it's pattie sausage. If you dont want to serve pork they make turkey patties, but it was an unwelcome surprise read more

This place is as simple as simple can get, but OMG THE BAGELS! definitely 5 star quality! There's nothing fancy about this bagel shop but the quality and service speaks for it self. One of the best bacon egg & cheese I've had in a very long time! Keep up the great job! read more

It's absolutely delicious bagel place. I love their flavored CC. But every time when I went there the owner or manager totally ignored or never welcomed. Always take regular customers and than take my order even though I make A line. Every visit I felt racism. My last visit is the one makes me totally stopped going there. I live 3blocks away from the bagel shop and I know I will miss their bagels, but I won't go there anymore. By the way, I've living in this neighborhood for 12 yrs... sad experience. read more

The bagel was good (with cream cheese) but was greeted by a customer screaming at me to close the door...welcome to all! I was a little upset that the manager didn't do anything and just let the guy scream at me. Crazy people in this world. I realize its cold out but I just wanted to get my son his bagel! read more

I will never come back here and I will never recommend your deli to anyone. Write down the order so you don't have to ask me what I want on the sandwich after I just told you my order. I didn't want mayo on my sandwich and it's loaded with mayo. You guys are idiots. Both sandwich I ordered were wrong. Morons. read more

Really love coming here. It's a really nice place to sit and eat with coffee or tea. The staff are very friendly, and Ana (front counter owner) is always pleasant. I recently got the healthy Turkey sandwich on an egg everything bagel, and that will be my go-to for now on! Bagels are always soft and fresh! read more

Over priced for mediocre at best bacon egg and cheese. Plenty of other places to get a bagel in the area.

I really like their bagels. Maybe a little lighter than other NY bagels but that's what I like about them. My grown kids like them too.

Every single time i walk in here i regret it. The proprietor is rude, for example ignoring people waiting patiently in line, favoring others they prefer, or flat out just saying stuff aren't available in a rude manner. This has nothing to do with the lockdown, I've been in the neighborhood for well over 10 years, and every time i try to give them a shot, i am sadly disappointed if he's the one behind the counter. I just go elsewhere, there's too many better choices. read more

Went back to get 1/2lb of lox and I gotta say, their lox is very good.

I used to frequent Bagels For You and Forest hills bagels both on Queens boulevard religiously. Over the years the lack of quality and consistency is becoming very evident and I started looking for a new bagel shop to frequent. I've been to Michaels bagels a few times now and can easily say their customer service and quality is far superb to those in the surrounding area. Downside is it's cash only and closes quite early-3pm- but they have the best bagels around for a great price. read more

The bagels are hot airy and amazing the everything bagels best in the city only place that uses caraway seeds If you get there early on Sunday morning plenty of free parking in front 7 am Maayan Y. there is a huge sign behind the counter with all prices , so what are you talking about ? Micheal A same as Supermarket ?? what supermarket is that ? we drive over 5 miles to get there . THIS PLACE HANDS DOWN BEST BAGELS IN QUEENS !! read more

I believe in second chances (and due to convenience) I gave this place many more than that. But this morning I was compelled to this review I'll spare you my grievances from before, but today it was simple. I ordered the breakfast special $3.50 for a egg & cheese on a bagel with coffee. I ask if he has sausage and he says yes. Rings me up for $6.75. I question it and he says "Oh right, $5.50" I get home and I have hot dogs on my bagel. read more
