I ordered a cream cheese bagel and it was . They loaded it up tons of cream cheese, definitely not stingy with that.

Great bagels made in the shop always fresh in the morning! Probably my favorite smelling place in my neighborhood haha. Make sure to try the spicy tuna bagel if you can read more

Very clean, kosher, fast service. Ordered a low fat tuna wheat wrap. Family run business, bagels looked good but I'm on a diet so I will try them later. Reasonable prices as well. read more

Kosher Bagel Hole - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Stopped in here totally off the cuff just bc the wait for a slice at Di Fara across the street was too long and my husband wanted a snack. Didn't expect much looking at the outside -- only to go in and see the whole fresh bagel-making apparatus, and get a poppy seed bagel my husband calls "the best bagel I've had in quite awhile." And he eats them totally plain so, that's a testament to the bagel! A pleasant surprise! read more

This feels like a tiny family-run business that has served the neighborhood for generations (I'm not sure about that though). There is no seating so be prepared to carry everything out. The place is small and they're not going to win any interior design awards - it's purely functional. And the bagels do not disappoint! I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and lox. I watched the bagel come out of the oven and going from hot/steamy to hot/toasted was a nice touch. The fish was fresh and served in perfect proportion to the cream cheese. Really, just a great sandwich. Their cole slaw is excellent. Other sides are available and I ordered some black olives but they were the canned variety (I was hoping for unpitted Gaeta, which is a much better match). And there is a basic selection of teas alongside self-serve coffee. Will I return? Definitely. I do wish there was some seating but I'll take fresh lox over that any day. read more

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. read more

A kosher bagel indeed ! Got the shalom special here lox and also a salt and chive bagel. Very good and would eat another one. The area is New York so it is what you expect it to be , chaos and everything else. Overall I would recommend this establishment to folks for a good Jewish bagel. read more

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. read more

I love their spicy tuna bagel. Had one two days ago and really wanted to recommend it . So if you feel like a good , fresh , delicious spicy tuna bagel . That's the place ! read more

Kosher Bagel Hole catered our Bris and everything was DELICIOUS! I was super impressed. The tuna fish was sooo good kept coming back for more. Lox platters were perfect. Will definitely order again! Bagels very fresh read more

Very good bagel. Not the best in NYC, but very good. VERY generous with the cream cheese, which I like. Nice people.

Love the bagels and coffee, great staff. This is my go-to bagel place in the meighborhood.

Was starving - so I ordered a Bialy with omelette ... big plus for fast delivery - don't forget to write in the notes - "fresh bread or nothing". Really disappointed over my stale bialy. read more

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. read more

Top notch bagels whether you get the normal size or the minis . Always fresh always delicious . Great choice of cream cheeses, nice wraps and danishes etc. they do a great job on their fruit salad platters also read more

I usually have a great experience with this place. Bagels are fresh and hot, and they've got 20 different types of cream cheese. Their breakfast platter is awesome and includes eggs, coffee and home fries. My favorites: 1) Toasted cream cheese and tomato on everything (make sure to specify toasted!) 2) Tuna on everything with lettuce, tomato and spicy mayo 3) Egg and cheese on everything - will not disappoint 4) Marcus - secret menu item - includes munster, mustard, lettuce, tomato and mayo, usually served on an everything bagel. This hack has been around for 10+ years and won't be on their menu, but one of the best things they've got My only downsides are: a) their cream cheese is not temp-tee, it's chalav Yisrael style cream cheese which tends to have reduced freshness B) their orange juice is not fresh and the Tropicana usually expires quickly C) when I asked for a dozen bagels, half everything half sesame, the guy gave me a bunch of plain and whole wheat too. Not a huge deal but would have loved if he confirmed it. Line is usually long, especially on Sundays. However, it moves quickly. Definitely a worthwhile choice if you're looking for an affordable breakfast for the family. I got a dozen bagels, full size orange juice and a quarter pound of lox for around $25. read more

I give it 4 stars cause 3: that's what a good bagel is. I don't eat bagels outside NYC. I have my faves, for sure but I like this place because ya know it's hand rolled and baked in the back, love the cream cheese and lox and it's a solid gig. Love it!!!! So the 4th star is appreciation!!!! A bagel is a bagel is a bagel.... Till you leave NYC my friends!!! read more

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! read more

Kosher Bagel Hole - Everything bagel with salmon lox, scallion cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onions - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

One can certainly feel out of place if they are not Jewish. I came in yesterday with a blue hoody carrying my luggage with me as I was headed to the airport. I received the ultimate staredown predominantly by the hassidic jews also waiting in line to grab a bite but I understand particularly in current times why my middle eastern appearance (though I am Armenian) stirred up so much attention. I didn't let that stop me from ordering one of the most delicious bagels I've ever had. The everything bagel combined with an ample amount of scallion spread was absolute perfection. The eatery itself was organized and clean and I found the area itself quite charming. I actually preferred the small town feel of Midwood over the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my culinary experience here. I live in Las Vegas but if I am ever in the area again, I will certainly return. read more

Kosher Bagel Hole - Everything Bagel with Scallion Spread - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I stop into Kosher Bagel Hole several times a week. Sometimes just for a super hot and fresh coffee, other times I get a muffin or a bagel. You can get a bakers dozen here to take home too! The staff behind the counter is extremely fast and rarely make mistakes. Yes, they did make a mistake with me once. They mixed up the toppings on two bagels that I ordered. It's okay though because tuna on a cinnamon raisin bagel doesn't taste as bad as you think it would :P NOTE: There are two counters here, one to order a custom sandwich and one where you can get just coffee and pre-wrapped items. The one on the left when you walk in is the fast lane, the one in the back of the store by the oven is the place where you order. read more

Great bagels sandwiches and pastries. My favorite Jewish comfort food; an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese is prepared perfectly here. read more

The bagels are pretty good. One problem is that they don't write down your order, so sometimes you won't get what you asked for unless you double-check before paying. Also, the everything bagels are just poppy seed + sesame seed, no salt, onion, or garlic. read more

First time to try jewish babka and bialys. Their whitefish salad Bialys was too salty for me but the babka was really good! I thought the chocolatey bread would be too sweet but it wasn't ^_^ read more

I expected the bagels to be larger in size, but I guess quality for quantity triumphs in this case. I had the whole wheat everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, salmon lox, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions. The grand total was $7 ish and it tasted amazingly fresh. I will be back for more. Seating space is small, with about 5 stools along the window countertop. I like how there's a wash sink here because your hands will definitely get messy after eating. read more

Best bagel sandwich i have had in nyc. If you have heard about new yorkers gushing about their bagels... Well this place lives up to the hype. All bagels are fresh and taste fantastic. A little more pricey then other places but thats normal for kosher eateries. read more

As far as Kosher bagels go, Bagel Hole is the place to go in Brooklyn. Definitely the most popular kosher bagel store in the neighborhood. Good spreads, quick service, but parking is a nightmare. I highly recommend walking there, or having someone pull up in front. If you double park you WILL get a ticket. Really wish they would upgrade their coffee. I never buy it. Hate when a bagel store buys cheap coffee, because they figure if you buy the bagel, you'll just buy the coffee by default. Overall, quality neighborhood spot, and awesome to break a fast on. read more

Simply put, bagels here are not very good. I can try to pretend to be an expert and talk about their thinness and over-crunchiness/dryness, whether toasted or not; about woeful lack of chewy substance under that crispy crust, but fact is - I'm not, I just know that these were far from the best bagels I've had. Plain cream cheese was not very good either, and was too plentiful for the amount of bagel. They have farmers cheese, which is a nice, unusual and tasty touch - a definite plus (if you never tried, beware that it's practically unsalted.) Coffee is typical barely drinkable $1+ crap, stay away if you are prone to heartburn - it will give you a particularly atrocious one. This applies to both locations (the other one on Ave J.) read more

As a native Brooklynite, I'm super picky about my bagels, and this one definitely hit the spot! I love the classic, Brooklyn, feel of the shop, with the non nonsense decor, "capuccino" machines, and lots of kosher candy. The bagel itself (everything bagel, toasted) was crunchy on the outside and nice and chewy on the inside. I was back again with a week for more! read more

I work nearby and whike there are a lot of food options in the area, I always find myself at bagel hole. Their soreads are fresh, bagels are fresh, and everything is made fast and is cheap enough to eat a couple times a week. Their coffee is great too and as far customer service goes, well let's just say I can't imagine ever having a problem with any of the workers. All in all, 5 stars. read more

I wasn't aware that this KBH and the KBH on CIA were owned by the same people. Well, the bagels are just as good here as the other store. Plus, they have this really good avocado salad and sliced sable to boot. Nice crispy, sort of sweet bagels. You can't go wrong with that. read more

My favorite bagel store in Brooklyn hands down! The cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese is my favorite. Always clean and fast customer service. The minus is paying for small orders like a coffee. You have to wait in line with all of the other larger orders but its bearable. read more

Sundays are crowded but worth the wait. Bagels are fresh and the customers are friendly.

Excellent bagels for people who know bagels. They are water bagels. I am shaking my head at the guy who was upset that his bagel was stale the next day. What did you expect? It is supposed to be stale the next day. You can freeze them and toast them. read more

Not worth the Sunday traffic or the wait I. Line. Mediocre bagels. The service gets the stars. Every customer in line seemed confused or prepping to cut me..I don't think so yo. Regardless. Nothing was that special and worth a meeting trip . MEH read more
