I stopped in for a Brooklyn quality bagel and that is exactly what I received. The selection of spreads was limited to about a few more than a dozen. I was satisfied with my plain bagel with vegetable cream cheese. I noticed that Highway Bagel had a large selection of ready-made sandwiches and wraps making it a very convenient location to pick-up lunch from. There was also an extensive selection of refrigerated drinks with teas and coffees available as well. Highway Bagel is certainly more worthy of three and half stars than just three. read more

loveeeee love love Highway Bagels ! their mini bagels are the best and their lox spread is delicious. They offer delivery which is perfect!

I really like the bagels at this place, & I really want to give Highway Bagels more stars, but unfortunately I cant because of the customer service. Before I get to the biggest issue, a minor issue that I have is that recently they changed the card purchase minimum from $5 to $10. Realistically, alot of people , like myself go to Highway Bagels for a quick breakfast in the morning, a bagel and a coffee or something along those lines, which is less than $10. No one wants to go there and buy more than they need to to support the card minimum. Its kind of ridiculous. Now to the bigger issue, the customer service. There is one girl that works as a cashier that is super sweet and I wish I knew her name to give her credit but I dont. Im pretty sure there are 2 girls that work as a cashier and the nice one that I am mentioning is the taller one. The other girl however (the shorter one) is extremely rude. She has a very bad attitude and isnt afraid to show that to the customers. Every single time I come on a day that she is working, I have seen her give attitudes to me & other customers for no reason and its very disturbing. Disturbing enough for me to have stopped going to Highway Bagels. I have considered going back but I will only go if she isnt there. I hate walking into an establishment where the employees are miserable & take it out on others. Food quality is important, but customer service is just as important and should be taken considerably !! read more

Counting down the days for this place to go out of business. Food is old, stale or lackluster almost every time. It has progressively become worse over the last 3-4 years and the prices have only gone up. If you can't keep up with rent...Kings Highway will push you out very soon. Better quality food and a nicer staff will keep you in business. read more

I placed about 5 online orders in the past few months. Always something with these guys, missing hashbrowns that i ordered, missing water that was supposed to be with specialized sandwiches, order is not ready by time specified. Going to have to skip them from now on. read more

I have been a customer for a few years and always enjoyed your bagels, but the last few times I have purchased your bagels, they were very different. I don't know if you changed your recipe or your chef, but the bagels got a lot worse. They used to be chewier and just denser on the inside. Now it feels like eating bread and it's just very different. Bring the old recipe back!! read more

We had an Office Party and Highway Bagels Catered. The Food was great as usual. Quality fresh bagels, fruits, sandwiches and salads. Thanks Highway Bagels read more

Should of listened to the other reviewers. I thought the low ratings must of be a joke because I order and buy from here all the time and it's great. After today's impatient and rude staff, this will be the last time I order from here. read more

Loved the breakfast and lunch from our Office boat party. The food was fresh and nicely organized for distribution. The wraps and bagels were amazing. read more

Came into an empty store placed an order. Waited 20 minutes as many people came and left until i finally said something. Dude behind the counter didnt even apologize just said "here". As for the food, too salty and i didnt even ask for salt . read more

The bagels here are good, I like their cream cheese selection. Location is very convenient, I stop in here often throughout the day working. I've had their panini and it was really lacking in meat/cheese, I felt like I was eating mostly bread, for the price you pay I was disappointed. I like that they have a variety of items to choose from though (bagels, sandwiches, shakes, salads). Their staff don't seem like the most friendly folks but I'm not going to judge them on that. My biggest grip is their added fees and tax to most items. $2.30 for a medium coffee which is $1.25 from most places in the area. I ordered a BLT on a bagel and the price jumps from $3.90 to $5.25. Most places charge $3.50/$4 for a BLT on a bagel. I feel like most hot foods there are like this, a crazy fee and/or tax gets added on to to everything. I get it, they have rent to pay and probably pay more for running a kosher place. But I feel like there's a lot of price gouging going on here, to squeeze an extra buck here and there from customers. read more

Great food & service..! Nice variety of breakfast and lunch options! 100% recommended.!

Bagels are good, service is horrendous ! One person working behind the counter during morning rush hour! Stupid move for business! People are walking out! read more

I had started to dislike this place a couple years ago after some bad experiences. However, I am not sure if it's new management or what, but they've figured it out! Wait times are much shorter, they've got seating and the restaurant is generally clean. They have also got a larger selection of cream cheeses and other bagel assortments as well. They now also have a bakery section: though the prices of most pastries are on par with Manhattan prices. Not sure if the quality matches. Recommendations: scallion cream cheese bagel! However, try to avoid their coffee (it's usually burnt or watery) read more

2nd time they messed up the same order. I ask for BLT on a roll with 1 fried egg. Get no fried egg, but pay for egg. I even double checked with the guy who put the sandwich in the bag. It seems like forever for them to take your order when you are the only one standing there. 4-5 guys behind the counter talking to each other with nothing to do, avoiding eye contact. read more

Best bagels in town . Great food and staff . If you want quality this is the place . read more

Will never go there again. I went there once and the person who helped me was extremely rude, but the food was ok (albeit, overpriced) and its in close proximity to where I lived, so I went again, although I was completely turned off after my first visit. Then, a completely different person was extremely rude, enough that I will never go there again. He didn't listen to anything I said, then started arguing and accusing me of not correctly telling him my order. Which, even if that were true, still a completely inappropriate reaction. But,I did tell him, and he was not listening. The food is standard deli food, but extremely overpriced. I got one sandwich and a soda for 11 dollars. They charge close to a dollar for every completely normal sandwich item, you expect come with a sandwich on top of their already inflated price. The manager should sincerely look into training staff to be friendly and not turn away customers, as evidenced from the large body of reviews regarding this matter. read more

never will i ever go or get anything from this rip off place they had the nerve to charge me $8.40 for 2 eggs over easy with ham double ham no cheese & my egg was scrambled on a f%#}^ roll this place needs to be shut down i can go to super market & get half a pound of boars head ham for this price shame on me for ever going there 1star cause it was warm at least i should've followed my gut & went to bassets at least for that price two people can eat & last the person on the phone was very nasty it's not my fault that you work there dude read more

Went in to give it another chance* ordered a large sub* which I was charged $28 dollars and it had no flavor whatsoever*** where is the salt the pepper the taste is sooo bland** read more

I don't understand this place at all, I worked in the food industry from 16 to 23... I know how to run a store. But every time I come into this store I tip them even though the service is ass. Normally i place my order on grubhub for pick up and go in. These people could never find the bag that says Kendell in bold letters that is printed on a receipt. I end up waiting 22 fucking minutes for an order placed and ready but cant read kendell. The final straw was when I placed an order for three egg and cheese bagels. I waited 38minutes for that. Now I understand they are busy but how the fuck do 5 people order behind me (except the person that ordered the blt on a everything bagel...that takes 3 mins to make) get their complicated breakfast orders before me? How the fuck do i wait 38 minutes for three fucking sandwiches? Seriously 3 sandwiches 38 minutes? To top it off everyone is getting their sandwiches and i ask are those three things in foil mine by chance, they tell me it is not. But as i keep staring at the three sandwiches it just so happens to magically become mine. No system at all in that store no sanitary standards are in place in that store. I dont mind paying 20 for three bagels but it taking that long urks me. Any referrals for a new bagel location? It will be much appreciated read more

The wraps were fresh and delicious. We had an assorrment of them and the broccoli rabe in the veggie wrap was delicious... not to mention the chicken ceasar wrap had great flavor also. They dont skimp on the salads either. I Highly recommend Highway bagels for any luncheon tht needs catering. read more

One of the slowest delis I've ever been to. It's the only one in years I've had to leave with my order still being made 15 mins later. Justa a wrap too. I was one of two people in line. I placed my order within one two minutes of entering. Then one of the gentleman who took my order went to the back and then came out. I never saw him tell anyone to make my order nor did he tell me he was making it. This was around 11am. 20 minutes of my lunch period gone. read more

The following took place at 7:19am on Monday, February 16, 2009 *Chun enters Kings Highway Bagel* Employee: Good Morning, How Can I Help You? Chun: Morning! I'd like a Whole Wheat Bagel w/ Low Fat Cream Cheese. Dough Out The Bagel Please Employee: Dough Out Whole Wheat Low Fat, You Got It! 45 Seconds Later... Employee: Plain Bagel With Extra Vegetable Cream Cheese Chun: *Stares Around the Bagel Shop And Notices No Other Patrons* Chun: Sir, I Believe I Ordered a Whole Wheat Bagel Dough Out w/ Low Fat Cream Cheese. Employee: Nope, Plain With Vegetable Chun: *Is Hungry And Decides To Pay For the Bagel* Chun: Eh, It's Fine. I'll Take It. Employee: *Rings Up The Cost Of The Bagel On The Register*, $3.25! Chun: *Perplexed?* Your Menu States That A Bagel With Cream Cheese Is $1.80. Is That Correct? Employee: Nope $3.25! Chun: Thanks! *Leaves Bagel Shop Immediately Without Paying For the Bagel* I don't mind common mistakes from employees. After all, we are human and mistakes occur even in the best of us. It's the unjust course of action an employee conducts to discard any recognition of their error that's deemed as unacceptable! Please do not think that I would accept an incorrect bagel order or pay in excess of stated value for a product that, although may be highly regarded, is overshadowed by the unrefined serviced delivered. Needless to say, I won't be going back to Highway Bagel Corporation. read more

I love highway bagel. The workers are the sweetest always running to help you as best as they can. They have a large selection of fresh made bagels, tons of variety, love it! They have coffee, its not the best, but i like it as much as i like Dunkin Donuts coffee. They have a huge freezer filled with paninnis, wraps, heroes, etc. But you can also make you're own. They have another large freezer filled with loads of soft drinks and juices. They have some seating in the back, like 3 tables. But this is a more of a run in and out kind of place. It's a little uncomfortable to be smushed sitting in the back there. I love Highway Bagel and i continue to come back due to the impeccable service i am provided here. *BUY ONE MEDIUM ICED COFFEE GET A SMALL FREE* ^ I also come back for that!! read more

Coffee is generally fresh, you get to make it yourself which to me is always a plus. Bagels are always delicious as is the cream cheese, I occasionally get a salad which is also very good a bit small but good price. Nice selection of baked goods ranging from cookies, muffin croissants and more. Open 24/7. I worked in the city for a long time so the prices here to me are just fine. Only issues I have with this place is customer service, very rarely does anyone smile. Sometimes when I order I feel like I'm a bother to the staff. They often speak Spanish to each other which is cool and all but makes it confusing, your looking at me but speaking to your friend. read more

This place has excellent service and good bagels.The cookies though they fire . This is a go to spot for breakfast and lunch.

Highway Bagels is a good spot to go for breakfast options. I dont usually go here but when I do, I get to relax because it's quite and theres different variations of food (especially bagels). read more

Horrible place don't go. Always mess up my sandwich. Burn my sandwich forget to put what I ask... read more

Highway Bagels - Completely burnt to crisp roll. Asked for slightly toasted roll with turkey. Who would serve this? - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Yeah this place sucks, stale food, mediocre coffee, credit minimum 10$ who the hells spending 10$ on a bagel and coffee, get your shit together Alberto lol! I read these yelp reviews no one wants to hear an apology the want to see action. read more

I don't go into Highway Bagels often and when I do, I'm immediately reminded why I don't frequent this place even though it's right by my house. Everyone is crowded around the counter ordering or waiting for an order. A sign that says "ORDER HERE" (that's not in front of the door) and "PICK UP HERE" would be great. Because it seems like no matter how patiently you're standing there, if someone else walks in and chats up the (ONE) guy who's working behind the counter (while the rest are kind of idling around or sauntering in and out of doors), they'll get their order in before you. I have to be pushy and aggressive for things like parking and seats on the train and everything else is this city, I don't need the headache just to get a bagel. I just wish I knew the magic place to stand to have my order taken so I don't have to feed the meter like I'm about to sit down for a meal just to get a bagel. read more

I was in the store and it was some what empty. all the Spanish workers goofing around and paying no mind To the customers. When asked if they wanted to help me they he hot an attitude. I purchased the hero called the Brooklyn It was definitely not worth the $10 they charge to me. I will cross this place off my list. Bed customer service. And no manners. read more

Pros: - open 24 hours - delicious rugelach and bagels - lots of variety (drinks and food) Cons: - Can be slower than the Rite Aid - Employees aren't always happy to serve you I attempted to get a bagel and some rugelach and it took about five minutes for me to get noticed since the three employees and other customers were too focused on the NBA game. I know he saw me because he glanced my way several times,c'mon. It's hard to come out of here feeling completely satisfied. read more

I've been ordering here for more than a year and honestly, I'm never 100% satisfied with my food. I keep ordering here because I haven't found a bodega to order a bacon, egg, and cheese which is not supposed to be more than $5. There have been multiple times at my job that we've placed orders to be delivered and there is always something missing. The omelettes look like they only contain one egg. Yes it's a bagel place but if you're going to provide other foods on the menu, at least make sure they are being done right! My co-workers and I are not ordering from here anymore. All in all, the quality and quantity of the food is poor. I have to explore around the neighborhood and find elsewhere to buy food. Can't complain about the employees because they have been friendly with me. read more

GENERALLY consistent service. The only thing inconsistent is the amount of cream cheese they put on the bagel. Some give you a ton, some spread it on like butter on toast. Can you please teach them to not go cheap?? Are they even from New York??? Coffee is almost like water. Good selection of cream cheese. Personal favorite is the scallion cream cheese. Lox is good as well. I love the flagels. For flagel virgins, it's a flat bagel. Toast it up crunchy. It's delish. read more

Been eating at this shop for several decades whenever I visit New York . Bagels are delicious and they make several types of cream cheese flavors to compliment the delicious bakery. Great customer service and friendly staff! read more

I really like Highway Bagels and try to come by whenever I am in the neighborhood. The place is very clean, and the pastries, salads, foods etc are always well stocked and neatly organized in their displays. When I came here with my husband it was a bit late and we were very tired. The two young guys working the counter were patient, helpful and friendly which we really appreciated, especially at that time of night. They are probably why we remember the place when were around. I had a pizza bagel which wasn't all that, and my husband had some roast beef sandwich which he really enjoyed, except that his order was suppose to come with caramelized onions and they gave him raw onions. He didn't complain because the service was pleasant otherwise, but that oversight was a little frustrating since he confirmed with them when ordering that the onions would be cooked. We also ordered a red velvet cupcake which was really good! The frosting was yummy! Overall, Highway Bagels is a really nice local food stop where you get a good selection of meals and snacks and the staff treats you very nice. I like it there. read more

Rude rude men behind the counter!! I saw them touch my food with out gloves gross! Does anyone understand cleanliness anymore ?? Wearing gloves touching money and then food is not clean read more

I just had a horrible experience at your establishment on Kings Highway. The young man he's I don't even know his name but he is tall he's young he has a mustache and quite frankly he was a very rude. I called to place a pickup order was left on hold for 8 minutes when I walked into the establishment it was empty I addressed the gentleman at the front desk his name was Jesus. He said that he does not pick up the phone he said that the person that does pick up the phone might have went to lunch or went home or some horrible excuse. While I was making this complaint the gentleman that I referenced prior told me that if I don't like it being on hold I can place the order online, granted that's possible but it's just good customer service to pick up the line and say I'm sorry for the hold do you mind continuing to hold...I will get back with you shortly. In the end I did not order here I will never order here again. I have ordered here and have had experiences but this is one of this one takes the win and unfortunately I won't be returning. I hope the owner read this message and takes heed to my experience and I could only imagine it hasn't happened to me it has happened to other people. The customer service in this facility is atrocious it really is uncalled for. I'm on my way to work I wanted to order my breakfast early in the morning and the experience I got was not up to par. read more

I'm not one to post a review but I need to share because I don't appreciate getting ripped off. This is one of the few places that over charges on every single item, and if the food wasn't half decent I would never come back. Today I ordered two pancake platters (which is on their website and paper menu), says it comes with home fries and toast. Bacon is an extra charge. When I got to the register ready to pay, the guy charged me extra for everything! Extra for home fries x2, extra for toast x2 and extra for bacon x2 (which was the only price that was accurate as it's extra to begin with). It went from what should be $15 - 16 dollars to $27 plus dollars! I reduced to one home fries, didn't take the toast and agreed to pay with no intension of coming back. I was told the platters were from an old menu and yet I got this directly from there website and on their paper menus. If this isn't accurate I suggest updating both menus ASAP. I used to come here every weekend for myself and my wife. Why should I come back to a place that is trying to take advantage of people and rip people off. Attached shows a pic of the menu and receipt to show what I paid vs what I should have paid. Advice, STAY AWAY unless you like getting taken advantage of!!! read more

I tried their bagels for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it was the best bagel I've ever had! The bagels were crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside and were even still warm so you know they were fresh. I will definitely make the trip to Brooklyn again. It's also nice that they help out in the community as well. You have a new customer and I'll be stopping by again soon! read more
