    Being in NYC I figured the bagels would be delicious. I was never one to toast my bagel with cream cheese so I didn't this time either. The consistency of the bagel made it seem like it was from yesterday. I wasn't that thrilled. I placed my order online and it was ready at the time quotes. I enjoyed the scallion cream cheese.

    Lox bagel

    I tried Leon's bagels for the first time a couple of days ago and I loved it. I ordered lox bagel with a few modifications - all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. It was a perfect amount of spread and lox. The service was wonderful as well. I would highly recommend this place!

    A little expensive for a bagel sandwich but overall tasty and hearty. Def recommend adding in the chili crisp oil!

    Warm, delicious bagel with box cream cheese filling. A must try when you're in New York.

    For the hype I was actually expecting mid bagels, but it was actually pretty good. I think the bagel is a bit flat and not as doughy as I like, but still a solid bagel. I would get there early, there tends to be a line. Staff are friendly, but are easily distracted with each other lol. I will say wayyy too much cream cheese

    bacon egg and cheese with chili crisp

    I went to on a Saturday morning around 11am, and I got the bacon, egg, and cheese with chili crisp on an egg everything bagel. The fillings were tasty--loved the kick from the chili crisp--and the whole thing had a pretty buttery flavor, which was nice. Still, I have to admit the bagel itself didn't quite live up to my expectations. Ordering was quick, with only a short wait at the counter, but it ended up taking over 30 minutes for my bagel to be ready. Overall, the experience was decent, but I'm not sure I'd go out of my way for the bagels here

    My friend recommended trying out Leon's bagels because she knows I can never turn down an amazing NY bagel. I had a wonderfully toasted and tasty scallion cream on an everything bagel. I'd definitely get it again! I've also tried the jalapeño cream cheese too. Has a nice lil kick to it. Service was food-- though they do get busy. Ordering ahead can be helpful! I'll be back!

    Cool little walk-up on the edge of Little Italy, serving delicious bagels and sandwiches! There is no shortage of places to eat in this area but there is definitely a shortage of breakfast bagels. Especially delicious ones! We got the bacon, egg and cheese on everything -Its great. And we also got the lox on egg everything-delicious! Friendly quick service also. They were very efficient.

    New York is known for its bagels. It's the water that makes them taste just a bit different than any other state. This one was no different than what we are used to. An everything bagel to go. It was large and chewy. There was a small sit down stall across from the place where most were enjoying their bagels and beverage. There was another stall across the street and we chose to sit there, people watch and enjoy the bagel. Try not to drive here, it's incredibly congested. Use public transport, ride share or taxi.

    We started our day trip in NY this past weekend with coffee and bagels. For the bagels we came to Leon's which was a 4 minute walk from Park at KIMS coffee shop. The line was long and we waited over an hour altogether but it was worth it. Being in the city is always fun and the vibes here were peak NYC. We ordered the BEC on plain bagel. It was fresh, hot and honestly the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. Lived up to the hype for sure.

    Everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese

    Flew into NYC early and my first thought was, let's go to Leon's Bagels! Little hole in the wall place that has delicious bagels and spread. They weren't too busy around 9 am, bunch of people were eating in the parklet across from the storefront. Ordered the everything bagel, cinnamon raisin and plain bacon egg and cheese sandwich. I totally see why these are the talk of the town! Their bagels are toasted to perfection yet chewy in the best way possible. Their jalapeño cream cheese was spicy! Exactly how I like it. The cinnamon bagel wasn't overly sweet and the bacon egg and cheese was hearty. They loaded it with bacon. The iced latte good and came out quick. I'll def be back next time I'm in NY!

    Leon's Bagels are probably one of the most tasty bagels here in NYC! Top three for sure. I am so glad I found this place one day while just walking around. The bagel I usually get is a sesame with scallion cream cheese. The cream cheese also tastes wonderful. Not too much or too little scallions in it. I have been interested to see how their egg sandwiches are as I have seen people eat it and they look amazing! There is no where to sit inside for these bagel locations. If it is nice out they do have some benches outside and people have stood around to enjoy their bagels. But if it's bad weather you may just want to take it home and enjoy it there. This is a bagel place I highly recommend! To locals and tourists. Get there early too as lines seem to always form here! Also this location you can order a head of time so you do not have to wait on the sometimes crazy lines.

    My absolute favorite bagel in the whole city! It is well worth the wait, and the wait doesn't even take that long. If you are in a rush, you can order online in advance. It is a very cute takeout counter, and the staff is very kind even though they have to keep going nonstop, they still make you feel welcome.

    These are quite mediocre bagels. Stop getting fooled by the green velvet ropes. It doesn't make them good.
