    One of the better bagel stores in the area. Bagels are excellent, and they are not skimpy with the cream cheese. Plus there is seating and two bathrooms available. Help is usually friendly. But if you arrive at the wrong time, expect a line. Large parking lot in back.

    My first time ordering breakfast is very clean it's crowded, but the line moves quickly. The employees are very nice. They have an assorted variety of bagels ( fresh baked) and different types of cream cheese.I ordered a flat sunflower bagel with olive cream cheese. Will definitely stop by again when I am in the neighborhood.

    Rainbow Bagel with Strawberry Cream Cheese

    Very okay bagels near JFK Airport. Howard Beach Bagel Cafe is a standard NYC deli, offering a large menu of made to order sandwiches, sliced deli meats/cheeses, salads, grocery items, etc. Prices are reasonable, and they offer delivery via apps like Postmates and DoorDash. My delivery order arrived quickly, and carefully packaged. I got a large coffee, which for some reason already had (way too much) cream and sugar added to it. I drink my coffee black, so this was disappointing. Their Rainbow Bagel was decent, but had a distinct raw dough aftertaste, and a plastic-y lamination on the exterior. The Egg Bagel was tasty, but very dry. Both the strawberry and vegetable cream cheeses were delicious, but there needed to be twice as much of them. If we were anywhere else in the world, I would say these bagels are pretty good. But, in NYC? Mediocre at best.

    Seating

    Highly recommended. Free parking lot in the rear. Excellent, fat, fresh bagels with an ample amount of cream cheese always added. Can sometimes be a bit of a line as they are usually quite busy, but there are usually up to a half dozen professional employees behind the counter to move things along. Specials offered each Wednesday. Seating and two clean bathrooms available.

    This is the bagel with only the top removed. Tastes great, but this is not 20 dollars worth.

    Do not order a bagel with lox. The bagel is 20 dollars and it has a sliver of fish on it. I love this place and the food is great, but they have become super cheap with the amount you get and the prices are overly inflated. So disappointed.

    Requested cheese on an egg sandwich. They charge you $1.50 and you only get a quarter of a slice. BALLS

    Every time I order from this place it gets worse and worse. Really need to step your game up. Charging 1.50 for a half of a slice of cheese is balls.

    Love their sliced Lox !!!

    Ordered from here a few weeks ago. Got a Philly cheesesteak and some other sandwich I forgot. Both were very good. We will order from again!

The baker's dozen (13 bagels) is worth it because you can choose between regular and specialty bagels and it still comes out to $24. And if you get the dozen on a Wednesday, you can actually get 16 bagels! The bagels are big, and airy. The combinations and variety of options go on and on. Excited to be try a new one every time. They are pretty precise with the weight of spread you order, as well. We ordered the egg salad, tuna salad, and scallion cream cheese spread. The egg salad and tuna salad were mild in flavor, not heavy, tasted healthy. I've only come on weekends, so there is always a line out the door, but there are many staff members, so the line moves. If you are ordering a lot of bagels, be prepared for back-up options because although they are constantly making the bagels on the premise, popular options do run out and you may have to wait 15min for a new batch.

    Utopia Bagels - I guess this explains all. Found few hair on my bagel. Waited almost a hour and having this kind of issue is not acceptable.
