    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!

    Everything Bagel with Scallion Spread

    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.

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.

We wanted to try something different after having explored so many of the typical places in Manhattan and Shelsky's came highly recommended While I was expecting a long wait on a Saturday mid-morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find the establishment with only a few in line before us. Now, I was desperately seeking a very simple belly lox with schmear, but much to my dismay, they didn't have any more belly lox. I was heartbroken and had to figure out a plan B While I pondered, the family quickly ordered a Peter Shelsky, a Great Gatsby, and a Fancy Pants. I crumbled in my panic and jumped in with another Peter Shelsky. We also tried a small amount of whitefish salad and a beet/thyme salad The service was quick and we were able to grab two of the three small tables at the front to enjoy our fare. Soon we were digging in and from the immediate silence, I could tell everyone was enjoying their choices. The bagels were on the smaller side, denser with a firm crust. We did enjoy the bagels, but I could see how someone not familiar with this style may find them too "cardboard-y" I have to say, the pickled herring on the Peter Shelsky was fantastic, but was way too overpowering for the nova and sable. I actually regretted my choice and would order something more sunken next time. (Or get to the store earlier to beat the rush for the darn belly lox!) The beet salad was quite a nice balance to for the bagels adding a bit of brightness. The whitefish salad was solid - a hint of smoke and a creamy puree. Some who prefer a chunkier whitefish salad might find this less than satisfactory, but the flavors were great A cure store, friendly and patient staff, a great first exposure to Brooklyn for the boys. We'll be back (and we want belly lox!!)

It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say.
