$7 for a plain bagel with cream cheese and turkey bacon.. they made it fast but shouldnt be $7 nonetheless. The cream cheese was also kind of runny..? idk maybe I'm just not used to theirs read more

We wanted a simple bagel, and found out that LIC Bagel was more than just a bagel joint; in fact, their selection of bagels was very limited. So I had to order a simple bagel with basic cream cheese, and my partner wanted something else. We won't be back read more

Long Island City Bagel has a large variety of breakfast items but I really wanted a New York City bagel so I was on a mission and found this place. Plenty of seating space, a large menu, and my bagel was so good! A toasted everything bagel with cream cheese to go. Yes please. read more

Earnest hard-working eatery. They have bagels, but I don't think they're made in-house. If you want something more special, see what's on the hot plates, or get a breakfast burrito. I order my breakfast burrito with bacon, egg, cheese, and home fries. Always made fresh to order and tastes great. read more

So this one's a head scratcher I was looking for a bagel in the area and while the nearby Dunkin' Donuts would've been okay, I wanted something a bit more "local". So I stepped into LIC Bagel expecting well...a bagel shop. Instead, I was greeted by steam tables of Latin American fare (including tripe), chicken in various sauces and a bunch of folks having eggs and coffee. The interior looks like it was once a regular diner and was later taken over by someone else, but that's speculation on my part based on the diner-esque layout with a counter in the front and tables in the back. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese (yes, they actually had them, but they don't make them) and some tripe stew to try. The bagel was average. I've had much (much) better but when you take places like Zucker's or Sables as your standard you're setting the bar a bit high, I know. The tripe was too gamey for my tastes, and I've had a lot of tripe over the years. The consistency was good however so no complaints there. I guess it's not high compliment to say that LIC Bagel is just "okay", but that's what it is. Not great, not bad just very "meh". read more

The staff here was really friendly and when they didn't have what I wanted on the menu they made it for me anyway. I got a bagel with two eggs, cheese and bacon for only $2.00-2.50 which is really good because I feel normally it would cost $3-4. So just the sheer cheapness of this deli makes it worth a breakfast trip if you live in the area. Also they don't serve a lot of bagel related items, which was slightly misleading, so I'm going to have to go with three stars. read more

If you want Bagels go elsewhere! If you want delicious Hispanic food then go check out the buffet. This is a hole in the wall that few know of. I come here regularly and I love it. Everything I've had so far has yet to disappoint me. If you see the ribs with green sauce then grab them and don't bother with a knife. They fall right off the bone. If you want an early morning bagel and coffee then go to dunkin donuts around the corner. read more

Went to LIC Bagel assuming it was a bagel shop. It is not, and that's kinda lame. Their food is probably alright, but if your name is LIC Bagel you should be selling bagels. read more

If you have a giant awning with the word "Bagel" on it, and you arent a bagel place, you get 1 star. This place is not a bagel place, which is what I wanted. They pulled a bagel out of some little plastic container and it tasted a week old. Change your name to something relevent and I'll re-review it. (suggestion: 36 Av Diner) read more

Okay, this is a hidden gem. Not only can you get breakfast all day but a true New York deli sandwich. I had the pastrami and Cuban sandwich. Mouth watering and huge portions. The pastrami was fresh and I loved that I could choose the cheese and bread. The Cuban was huge compared to other delis and it came with fries. Can't beat two sandwiches for less than $15. Breakfast: it's like I'm transported to my favorite deli from 20 years ago. Hard roll with egg, bacon, and cheese. I cry a little savoring this breakfast sandwich. They also make fresh juices and a buffet but I have not tried these yet but I will soon. Don't miss this spot!! read more

Quick and dirty review; been going here on and off for the 7+ yrs I've been working in same hood. Why its called NYer Bagels is beyond me; the distinguishing food is the Mexican/Hispanic food. Usually solid; the ribs and tacos (soft shell, enchilada) are the items most of interest to this cowboy but they have a bunch of stuff on the steam table that looks good. They've remodeled w/i the last year and the facelift is welcome. read more

I've come here on many occasions but actually never had a bagel! Things I have been here for: 1) hangover cures, a la breakfast foods 2) mexican food, top notch The food here is great for the price. You can pretty much get anything you want for breakfast for under $5. Again having never had a bagel, I can't speak for those, but I can say that they have good pancakes, sausage and eggs. If you're not in the mood for breakfast, they have a great selection of mexican food. Everytime I've come, people have ordered the enchilladas and I do have to say that they're pretty good topped with a sprinkle of a crumbly white cheese and sour cream. Microwaved though :( to heat up. Their tacos are very good (chicken and chorizo are the ones that I've had) and the portion size is more than enough for $2.50 a taco. Rice and beans are standard though they don't have black beans. Another plus is they do special juices. If you want something juiced, they'll juice it for you. My only real complaint about this place is that the service is terrible. I mean, I don't even mind that this place doesn't have ambiance because the food is so cheap (though they did recently redo the tables and the lit-up menu!). We had to ask 4-5 times for water and our drinks. My coffee came sugary sweet like a hot, melted milkshake. Overall though, this place is solid. Nothing amazing. Very filling food. Slow as snails service. Try it out if you're in the area. read more

WOW. SUPER CHEAP AND FAST. The place is a dump, don't expect anything more than a luncheonette run by Mexicans. But I wouldn't say it's dirty. It's just a dump. You have to pretty much bring your own food from the counter! What shocked me was the great buffet options they have! I would dare say it's even better than the Brazilian place across the street. Whether sitting in alone or taking food to go, definitely check it out. SUPER CHEAP! read more

This store got renewed Jan/11 but still the same food and menu... I like to came here for the grilled chicken sandwich... It is the best I ever had! The bread is crunchy chicken is tender and the cheese melting.. Fantastic!! read more

Just stopped here for a quick breakfast. Service was fast. Food was decent and inexpensive. My friend got an egg with cheese on a bagel while I got an egg, cheese, sausage (chorizo) on a roll. Everything came to $6. Definitely recommend it if you want a quick bite and you're in the area. Nothing fancy, but it's good cheap eats. read more

LIC Bagel - Simple egg on a bagel - Bakeries Near Me - Astoria, New York

See all

Pros: - Generous portions (especially off the hot food line) - Fresh squeezed carrot juice! - Breakfast specials - Univision Cons - Slooooow service - Weird tasting coffee (every time) - Boring, bland atmosphere - The name is deceiving (I've never had a bagel) Verdict: It's cheap and it's okay. You could say that 'you get what you pay for', but I've been to places just as cheap with plenty more character and deliciousness. If you're in the area with empty pockets, this will work. Tip: Bypass the menu and tell the cooks/waitress exactly what you want. They'll hook you up with a lot of whatever it is. And it'll be cheap. read more

Straight up breakfast counter near my work, I can call ahead and get my BECTT (bacon egg and cheese with tater tots) on an everything bagel with BBQ sauce ready for me to be picked up when I get off the subway at 36th Ave. So conveniently located too. And to top it all off, they do REAL fresh squeezed OJ with a machine where you can see the oranges squeezed in front of you. Like 8-10 per glass. Great friendly guys. Spanish speaking as well is a plus. read more

i just recently discovered this place, and i specifically go here for their coffee every morning. i think it tastes great -- definitely beats dunkin' donuts right next door, which tastes like crap. this place is really cheap too. you can get a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, plus a large coffee, all for $4. simply amazing for new york standards. also, the guys at the counter are super nice and friendly. by the way, i still can't figure out whey they are called new yorker bagel -- they don't have bagels... read more

I must say that this place started my addiction to tortas. Unfortunately every time I've gone in my torta has been made differently, and that isn't a good thing. I always get a vegetarian torta (cheese, onion, tomato, lettuce, mayo, and pickled jalapenos) and in the beginning they were loaded and the bun was perfected grilled but lately they have been lacking and when I unwrap my sandwich it has very meager fillings. I'm on the lookout for better options now... read more

I'm not sure how you can put bagel in your name when you only have 3 types of bagels and not cream cheese and microwave coffee. Will never be going back very disappointed read more

Not a real bagel place but good if you are on the go, I guess. Stopped in here for a quick breakfast sandwich to go before work.

the bagels here are good. ive had them but you come here for a cheap breakfast sandwich which i indulge in on sundays... a large coffee and a egg and sausage on roll will run you a very reasonable $4. totally filling and delish. the guys behind the counter and at the grill are nice...but when it gets busy, you do have to make yourself known to get your order in. im ok with that. its my reliable go to place for a quick, tasty and cheap breakfast sandwich. read more

This place needs a new owner. Yes the food is good but the owner.... He changes the price every week and doesn't understand English. Which makes it hard trying to order. I have totally given up. Unless you speak Spanish you get no customer service. Good luck. read more

I have been enjoying this place for several years. The food is tasty and inexpensive, and the people that work there are friendly. I recommend my favorite, 2 eggs, bacon and cheese on a croissant! read more
