    Loxury Double Sandwich: Double Sliced Lox, Cucumber Dill Cream Cheese, Tomato, Onion, Caper, w/ Lemon on the Side
    Tiffany P.

    My friend was on a mission to find the best Brooklyn bagels. Knickerbocker definitely nailed the chewy, dense bagel. That said, the toasted bagels came out cold. A little confusing. I ordered the Loxury Double Sandwich, but my sandwich didn't really look like it got the "double lox" memo. It was a decent bagel sandwich. One thing I loved was the giant refrigerator of drinks. There was so much variety! I was especially excited to spot Korean milk drinks, which felt like a fun little surprise. Sipping on the taro flavor was a happy way to end brunch!

    Very busy spot on a Sunday morning. Ordering took 20 minutes additional 20 for food prep. The three ofnus grabbed a table while we waited. There is plenty of indoor seating available. I tried a Luxory bagel on everything bagel. The bagel is thick nice crust, mellow flavor and very filling. My sandwich was loaded with avacado and super tasty. I also brought home a blueberry bagel for tomorrow. The sandwich cost 20$ the bagel 2$.

    First off this place was packed so it a popular eatery. IMO, the bagels were just okay. They say they boiled but the 2 dozen we had were soft like a roll.

    The staff is amazing and always great vibes. The food is delicious 6.5 out of 10 times we have had some hiccups which is normal no place is perfect!!! They do try to fix things right away!! However the prices are a little much sandwich $10.95 + $1 hero + $1.10 tomatoes + $2.75 avacado(understandable) is $16 change is $4 over priced. I didn't want to get a beverage after. We have to be more reasonable for the clients if you want them to purchase more.

    Great spot for bagels, I used to go whenever I was in the area . On a recent visit i saw that they have lots more items on the menu. - sandwiches, soups etc. They were near closing time so I picked up my TGTG order. they have a generous Too Good To Go offer - about 8 to12 assorted bagels . The bagels are great quality and delicious. Seating available. I must stop by to dine in and try the other menu items.

    I was absolutely blown away by this meal! Fresh, flavorful bagels with ANYTHING YOU WANT! Don't forget the cream cheese!!! Special shoutout to the iced hazelnut coffee YUMMY!

    $18 for a bagel is crazy, especially for a sliver of lox. Definitely not worth $18. Workers are nice. Lots of places to sit and eat.

    I think these may be the best bagels in Brooklyn. I'm almost regretting typing this since it means I'll have to officially give up gate keeping this spot. The bagels have a perfect chew, they're crispy on the bottom, and pillowy fresh in the center. Just get a dozen bagels with a few shmears and thank me later. Today I ordered a bagel with lox and the dill and cucumber cream cheese was reminiscent of tzatziki in the best way. If you're a bagel person, please order from here! PS: The earlier you order the better the selection! Oh, and the whitefish spread is sooo good.

    Everything bagel with plain cream cheese
    Tommy C.

    Very solid bagel spot. Got an everything bagel (untoasted) with plain cream cheese to try and it was great. The bagel seasoning was perfect and not too salty like a lot of places are. The cream cheese was light and fluffy and the cheese to bagel ratio was perfect. Will definitely be back soon!

    Food was great and service was good as well wait time was about five minutes. Not bad considering the restaurant was busy at 930 in the morning.

    I would say it was a 3.5/5 for me more than a 4, but I did round up because 3 is too low. I ordered an everything bagel, toasted with lox cream cheese. Although I appreciate the amount of cream cheese they gave me, for me personally, it was too much. I went a second time and ordered light cream cheese, and still got way too much. The taste of the everything bagel was slightly salty but not too bothersome. The texture of the bagel was incredible, perfectly fluffy! I want to give a special mention to the system they have in place. Other bagel shops in NY can be quite overwhelming when going up to order, but I greatly appreciate all the signs they have. I did have a short wait on Sunday afternoon but Monday afternoon there was no wait at all. Staff was friendly and place has seating. I did notice there is an extensive food menu, but I was only interested in the bagels.

    The American Grinder
    Taylor H.

    I've been wanting to try Knickerbocker for a while as I've heard so many amazing things! Ordered the loxury plain and the American grinder. The bagels here are good, your typical dense yeasty bagels. I always forget to ask for my bagels toasted so this review is based on a non-toasted bagel. Loxury plain - SO good, but wish there was more lox. Even though when I ate it the ratio of filling was satisfactory, a bit more lox would have been nice. I felt like sometimes I would just get mouthfuls of tomato, onion, and CC. American grinder - this was ok. The meat was not super seasoned so I feel like it was missing a bit of flavor which is disappointing because they PACK on the meat. Also wish they would put more dressing to make it less dry. Overall, would come back if I was in the area but wouldn't travel far for it.

    Some of their spreads
    Brian S.

    Good bagels. Big and fluffy. They do a high volume of bagels. Only good bagel place in this side of bushwick that makes their own bagels. Price can add up if you get lox etc. If you like the big round style of bagels then this is your jam. They have fresh squeezed OJ and seating inside. Also delivers.

    This is everything vegan food should be - creative and satisfying…read more Bold flavors, a thoughtfully curated menu, and ingredients that are allowed to shine. The bowl was packed with flavor and made with some of the best, freshest ingredients. And the mac & cheese? Creamy, delicious, and completely vegan. It lacked absolutely nothing except, you know, the animal products.

    Aunts et Uncles: Vegan food that doesn't need a disclaimer…read more Baby, that loaded baked potato?! One of the best things I've eaten at a vegan restaurant. Period. A strong 9.5/10, and I don't hand those out casually. The peanut butter cauliflower was a close second--absolutely delicious, just a little pricey for the portion. The lasagna was a solid 8/10. Flavorful and hefty despite its lighter ingredients. Unless you're skipping appetizers, prepare for leftovers. Fair warning: it's saucy and doesn't travel particularly well. I also noticed an aftertaste I couldn't quite identify, but nothing that ruined the dish. The mac and cheese? A 6/10 for me. The flavor fell flat, though my dinner companions thought it was decent for vegan food. They also loved their burger and the gorgeous steak-style sandwich with chimichurri and avocado. The sandwich looked delicious, but the portion didn't quite justify the price for me. Now, the sorrel cocktail? A 9/10. Easily. What would make it a 10? A bit more alcohol. I couldn't really taste any. It gave mocktail. My girls did enjoy their wine, though! Service was very warm and friendly, although the packed crowd meant extended waits once we placed our orders. The space is beautiful, cozy, and elevated, but cramped in many areas. Between counter ordering and table service, expect people moving around you. Some patrons could use a gentle reminder that their behinds are not a complimentary side dish. The aesthetics are beautiful, the bathroom was cute and clean, and there's a small outdoor patio out front. They even had a DJ bringing block-party energy during our visit! I could easily see myself returning for breakfast, brunch, or a little café workday. What I love most, though, is the community-centered spirit and how the owners' partnership and love story are woven into the space. My final word: I judge vegan food by the same standards as everything else. No participation trophies just because it's plant-based. My ultimate test? Would I order it again, and would I return to the restaurant? Aunts et Uncles didn't need a vegan consolation prize or watered-down standards. Some dishes could use tweaking, and the portions don't always match the prices, but the standouts absolutely hold their own against non-vegan food. I'm already plotting my return. That loaded potato and I have unfinished business.

Nice happy hour and a large chocolate drink selection I was at this unique Guatemalan (ish) restaurant a while back with one of my groups. I said "ish" because the menu has dishes from all over, ranging from sandwiches to BBQ ribs to Guatemalan and Mexican soups. It's out there, and even though not everything works that well, it's fun, and if you can't find something you want to order here, you probably shouldn't go out to restaurants. There was also live jazz music that night, which was loud but nice to listen to. Since it was happy hour, a bunch of us got drinks. I went with a maracuya margarita, which was decent; someone else had a jalapeño margarita, someone had a beer, and someone had a mojito. There were a few nice hot sauces on the table, with the red one reminding me of salsa macha as it had a smoky kick and a spicier green sauce reminiscent of ají verde. They gave us some complimentary blue corn chips and a very mild black bean dip, which was tasty enough and hard to complain about, as it was free. From the appetizers, we got the Hot Figs for $15.95, consisting of honey goat cheese, corn tortilla chips, and plum + pumpkin seeds. This was a unique and fun blend and reminded me more of something you would find in a wine bar. The mix of sweet and salty, with a bit of crunch from the seeds, was nice. This was good, and I would recommend it for a table rather than for a solo diner. There was also The Zingy Salad for $21.95, featuring zucchini spirals, yuzu, tomato, onion, cilantro, pumpkin seeds, and a jalapeño infusion. $18.95. The salad was fine with a bit of crunch and a mild spiciness. It was fine, though a bit wet, for lack of a better word. The best dishes of the night were the soups, which each had its own distinct flavor profile. My sight presence went to the Pepián for $21.95, consisting of chicken, pumpkin/sesame seeds, green tomatillo, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper, carrots, chili coban/pasta/guaque, and potato + rice. There was plenty of tender chicken inside, with the soup having a nice roasted flavor with some spice and a bit of sourness. The potatoes and rice on the bottom added more sustenance to this dish. Almost equally delicious was the Caldo Tlalpeño Rojo for a dollar more with shredded chicken, tomato, black pepper, garlic, onions, peas, chickpeas, corn, achiote, chipotle, Monterey jack cheese, and crunchy blue corn tortilla chips. By comparison, this was a bit heartier, with the melted cheese and shredded tortilla chips inside, similar to soups found in Mexican cuisine. While I also liked the mix of veggies a bit more in this one, as it added a bit more texture, I still slightly preferred the flavor of the other soup, as I usually prefer a bit more spice. The rest of the food was fine. The TPC sandwich for $19.95 with chicken, peanut butter, coconut cream, ginger, cilantro, pickled carrots, and lime was fine. For the number of ingredients, I found it a bit sweet, likely from the cream and the peanut butter mix. The bread was nice, but it also fell apart. It came with a nice side salad with a good vinaigrette. The most expensive at $24.95 were the Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs, consisting of baby back ribs with rice and beans. The ribs were almost a bit too tender as they lacked any bite, which was nice, but the sauce was a bit too generic tasting, reminding me of Sweet Baby Ray's or something similar. The rice and beans were standard. This was also OK. Next came some dessert. There was first the $12.95 Rosemary Churros served with dulce de leche & chocolate dips. While I'm not sure if it worked, the rosemary did add a unique smell and a bit of flavor, and at least it wasn't generic. The churros themselves were hot, and the sauces were standard, with my preference being the dulce de leche. I also ordered a Champurrado for $7.95, which was fine. It wasn't as thick as I expected, though perhaps the style is a bit different than the champurrados I rarely buy from Mexican street carts. The chocolate flavor was very nice, though, and I like that it wasn't too sweet. Another person got a $4 Alfajor, which I got a bite of, which was standard. This place is a bit hard to rate. The two soups were wonderful, I liked the appetizers, and I found a couple of the other dishes just OK. Overall, it was a good meal, but I'm not craving to go back. This would be the perfect 3.5, but I'll round up as that doesn't exist.

The setup is a little different from a full-service restaurant. You order at the counter, let the staff know if you're dining in or getting your order to go. If dining in, then find a table and wait for your name to be called. If you're seated farther away, they'll usually bring your food to you. For drinks, it's best to stay near the baristas towards the front of the store since those are typically called out separately. I ordered the Madeline omelette without the jalapeños. It was good overall but it could have used a little more salt. I also tried the matcha latte (which tasted a bit too milky) and I had to add extra sweetener, so I'd probably try a different drink next time. The pastries, especially the apple strudel and Boston cream donut, were both really good. Highly recommend the apple strudel.
