    Bagel Hole
    Jando S.

    A failed attempt at hitting up Di Fara's (http://www.yelp.com/biz/di-fara-pizza-brooklyn) (#1) resulted in my visit here at Kosher Bagel Hole. Despite being very saddened over missing out on some of NY's finest pizza, the underlying hunger overtook my need for preference and pushed for anything that I could shove into my mouth. After seeing random bunches of Hasidic Jewish gentleman walk in and out of this bagel shop, I was convinced this was going to be a good stop. And for a moment, it was. I ordered a couple of toasted bagels with lox spread and though a bit miniature in size, packed a worthy bite in taste. The spread was creamy, with just enough lox to get some salmon flavor and the bagel itself was devoured in a matter of seconds. I was ready to order another bagel (they have a decent variety here) but decided against it in fear of "bloated bagel syndrome" (#2). The Mexican guys behind the counter were egging my friend and I on about trying more stuff, but we decided against it. The owner seemed like a nice guy and offered us extra napkins after noticing the smears of lox spread on our faces. Instead, we went for some water and juice, which washed down quite nicely. In the end, these bagels are not so mind blowing that I'd go out of my way to return again. I'm not even sure I'd come back after another failed DiFara's attempt. But I do know that if I lived in the area, I'd be like the locals and hit this place up before heading to the train. ---------- (#1): Dom was vacation. I should've called ahead of time. Wait, he never answers the phone. (#2): Occurs after ingesting two or more bagels with some type of cream cheese. Clutching of the stomach and reoccurring bouts of sleepiness are sure to follow.

    Their lox

    While waiting for our 2-hour wait pizza across the street, we went here and ordered smoked salmon in a bagel. We requested to remove the inside to lessen the carb. They use traditionally made bagel. That means hard crust and it seems unleavened. My sandwich was good. The rest of the things they sell is standard deli items. We ate by the window. There are no regular chairs here.

    Half of whitefish salad sandwich on sesame twist.

    I haven't eaten at this place for years but was in the neighborhood and decided to stop by, they used to be known for great tuna fish and white fish salad. Picked up 2 sandwiches and honestly couldn't be more disappointed. I've never heard of anyone putting butter on a roll and tuna or whitefish salad on top. Whitefish salad is fatty as is, but butter??? Come on. Maybe it's under new ownership but when you pay $8 for a sandwich and they barely put any salad. Took a picture of a half so you can see.

    Everything bagel with salmon lox, scallion cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions

    This place is located right by my workplace, so I come here when I'm craving a Salmon Lox Bagel. I've been here twice already, and the first time I got an Everything bagel with salmon lox and plain cream cheese. I got a ton of salmon lox, and the total was around 7.50. The second time I came, I ordered an Everything bagel with salmon lox, scallion cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions, I believe the total for that was 8.59 I prefer the latter more, but nonetheless, I'd definitely come back for my salmon lox bagels!

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.

It was about a 20 minute wait from enter the shop, grabbing a ticket, waiting for your number to be called, ordering the sandwich, getting the food and paying. Waiting for your number to be called happens faster than you think as people do drop out like flies, so just be patient. If you order yourself a Classic Bagel & Lox Sandwich ($17) like I did, you can watch them filet the salmon fresh from the fish itself to be used just for your sandwich. I did everything bagel and choose Scallion cream cheese, which seems like the popular choice. It's good enough to go out of the way to try once in your life. To be a repeat customer, idk if I want to wait in line for this every weekend. Additionally, there's no seating besides the benches that's outside. I do have to give it to them, among the chaos, the employee that helped me was super friendly. I also saw some of the customers get salmon samples of the salmon for the lox. Idk if they asked or the employee just happened to be offering it.

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 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.

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!
