My go to bagel spot in Fairfield county. Fresh baked bagels that are always crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I love their multigrain everything bagels and my favorite sandwich is the lox job. It is a perfect bite! Lox, cream cheese, tomato, onions and capers. I can't say enough about how good it is! It can get very crowded but the service is fast and it is always a good deal. read more

In my opinion, best bagels in Norwalk area (and better prices than some other spots). I had a sesame bagel toasted to perfection with the veggie cream cheese and it was on point. The guy at the counter was very helpful and knows great customer service. I'm looking forward to coming back more often and trying the strawberry cream cheese and sandwiches. read more

It is very confusing when you walk in. Are there multiple lines. Or are customers being waited on at the counter. We took cream cheese and whitefish salad from the refrigerator. Then stood on line to pay. That is where we could state our bagel order. The bagels were good as was the whitefish salad. When I am in the area I would stop by again. read more

I moved from NY to CT in 2015. I was surprised to learn that a good bagel is hard to find here despite the proximity to NYC. Lizsue is a life saver. Bagels are just as good as the top bagels in Manhattan. Try the egg salad as a surprise bonus. read more

If you're lucky you may get nice chunks of salmon in the smoked salmon cream cheese. The other half of the time it's smaller pieces but never is it ground up for color smoked salmon. The bagel is lovely as well. read more

Lizsue Bagels II - Bakeries Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

I was really pumped when I read the reviews and even more so when I got there for the first time on a Saturday morning and saw the line out the door! Inside was all abuzz with just the right amount of chaos to make it exciting. So, when it was my turn I ordered a bakers dozen -- 7 everything and 6 mixed. When I opened that nice white paper bag and stuck my nose inside it was heaven..... However, after all that, I was underwhelmed, bordering on disappointment. The bagels seemed undercooked, doughy and without much flavor...like biting into a big wad of dough. So, not sure what to make of the hype. I hoping that sliced and well-toasted, the flavor will come out. read more

Great local, no frills bagel shop. Easy to tell that it is a favorite local establishment. My bacon egg and cheese with avocado revived me after a long night out. It held up great in the to go packaging. I ordered it lightly toasted and it was still warm when I went to eat it about an hour later. read more

So this is one of those hole in the wall places that relies more on the neighborhood than Yelp reviews. It's been around forever and along with its sister place in Stamford, knows how to put out bagels. They aren't going to change their formula based on. Yelp review. There's nothing to the interior. No real sitting. No bathrooms. Just a counter and lots of bagels and drinks. So are the bagels good? Yes. They are more like the NY style. Thick and hearty. My everything bagel was a little too heavy on the salt for me. Felt more like a pretzel. But the cream cheese helping was generous and darned if I didn't enjoy the whole thing. Price is reasonable too. I wouldn't drive across the state for these but a very good local place with no nonsense service and good bagels is a place that most towns would love having. read more

Disappointing. Came in on a Sunday. Store wasn't too busy. Waited about 15 minutes for two cold sandwiches. Lox bagel and Italian sandwich. Bagels were chewy but not in a good way, thinking they were actually stale. They also messed up our order and swapped the bagels. Everything bagel is way too salty and the plain bagels are just too thin and not airy enough. Over all bagels were 1/5 but the staff was nice so 2/5 total rating. read more

Long time customer of Lizsue's in Norwalk. Great bagels and breakfast sandwiches. Consistent quality and great service! Always look forward to visiting! read more

When I moved up from New York City I was trying to find a great bagel place local to me and I've found it in LizSue Bagels. They have two locations; Stamford and Norwalk. Both all good, but something about the Norwalk location is just better to me. So I travel a little further for my bagel fix almost week. My first time coming I was 5-10 mins after closing and they gave me a variety bag of bagels to try. After that moment I fell in love and have been coming ever since. The staff is usually friendly but busy, the wait times can be long so you might want to call ahead on weekends. They have a huge variety of bagels also. Onions, rainbow, egg, everything, pumpernickel. Just to name a few. They are always perfectly toasted if that is what you want. I normally will order ham egg and cheese on some type of bagel or chives cream cheese on some type of bagel. Whatever I'm in the mood for that week. But you can make some pretty interesting combinations with what they have available. If you in the lower Fairfield ct area I highly recommend you check them out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

Pretty good bagels. The line is long and place is super crowded, so be ready to wait. But decent bagels.

As a Stamford native and lifelong Liz Sue customer (Stamford location), I have not one negative thing to say about their bagels. Hands down, they are amazing. HOWEVER, my review is based on how the store is run on busy mornings. This morning, I went decided to stop at the Norwalk location. There is no obvious line of "Order Here" and "Pick Up Here". Its just a mismosh of people, mostly blue collar men. I approach the counter to place my order and this young man starts yelling at me that I cut him in line. I tell him I didn't and he says "oh yes you did" and carries on being a rude POS. For reference, I am half his size and an obvious cancer patient. This unpleasant exchange could've been avoided if Liz Sue would simply invest in some signs that distinguish which line is for what. As much as I enjoy their bagels, I won't be coming back for this reason. I have too much going on in my life to be yelled at by some little jerk that could be my kid. read more

A+ across-the-board. Bagels, breakfast sandwiches on bagels are always loaded and tasty. I've only been there about 10 times but they haven't let me down yet and I hope they keep delivering the goods. The service is always on point and luckily have only mixed up one complicated order. Places seems to be always busy yet they move the process real quickly. As for the store, it's perfect for what you expect from a bagel place and they even have some seating outside read more

Worth sharing my secret?? Hmmm, I don 't know, but food is happiness, happiness should be shared, so food should be shared. I have been going to Liz Sue as part of my morning routine now since 2013. I have had the opportunity to get to know the owners and some of the employees. The bagels are the best around, and so is the customer service. If you go during prime time (typically anytime after 0700 until about 0900 in the morning), you may expect a line out the door, especially now during the #covid19season of life we all currently live with. But the wait is worth it. Bagels, breakfast sandwiches, deli sandwiches, pizza, cinnamon rolls, muffins, man, the list goes on and on. But it is definitely the best around to be had. If you are looking for a pick me up, look no further. These guys are the greatest. Thanks Pete and Tony for making my morning routine the best I could as for. Can't wait to get back and grab myself some "BAAAAAGELS" as Pete so brightly says when he answers the phone! See you fellaz soon. -Tim the Pilot read more

Arguably one of the best bagel shops in Connecticut. Huge selections of bagels and sandwiches and some pastries as well. The shop is small but the flavor is big. A typical morning at liz sues is bustling and busy so calling ahead is smart if waiting in line is not your thing. Plenty of parking. read more

This place is average at best. I don't mine paying more but I expect more as well. Nothing about this place would bring me back. Serving size was poor. For the price I would have expected much more. read more

Great place with awesome bagels, and cold sodas. And other food as well. Good vibe as well

Every time I go which has now been almost 25 years to the original Liz sue and now this location consistency is everything . Their Bacon Egg and Cheese is great and their cream cheese is the best on earth. Please go and try this place if you haven't already you are missing out on a GEM! read more

I have gone to Lizsue for over 10 years. It's consistently fresh and the service is unmatched. Added bonus, you get to watch bagels get made in the back! I highly recommend the lox bagel & BEC. The variety of bagels and sandwiches makes this a top tier spot for breakfast and lunch. Thankful for the many yummy memories! read more

Fantastic bagels! NY style bagels right here in Norwalk, CT! Their chicken, egg and tuna salads are yummy too!

This has been my favorite bagel spot in the area for years now. The egg bagels are amazing with scallion cream cheese. These folks are a real gem. read more

The BEST bagels in Norwalk! I've been going here for years. In High School I would get a blueberry bagel with cream cheese for only like $1.50! Each bagel is still $1 to this day. My current favorites are onion and everything. The bagels are super fresh. I love their soft chewy texture. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Some of the best bagels outside of NYC. Always a long line. Very popular location. Check out operating hours. They are a breakfast/lunch business and typically close early. read more

Great value for the best bagels in Stamford Wonderful service. We will be back !!!!

Best bagels in Fairfield County, bar none! Super friendly staff keep the line moving. Fresh delicious sandwiches (esp Cream Cheese, Capers & Lox), and you can even call in your order. read more

Really delicious bagels!!!! So fresh. Also really enjoyed their breakfast sandwiches. Did a big order on a weekday and they were able to have 25 egg sandwiches ready for when I needed them- in about 1.5 hours (called ahead). They also took the time to label all the individually wrapped sandwiches which was really appreciated. The staff is hard working and friendly. They also have boxes of coffee which is great when taking bagels to a bigger crowd. I'll keep coming back forsure. read more

Stamford location is better. Waited 15 minutes just to find out that the person who took my order never made the sandwiches and didn't even acknowledge that he forgot. I ended up just leaving, it's sad because I love their bagels but I waited until the whole store emptied out and still would have had to wait more. First and last time here. read more

Liz Sue II is one of those great little places that is tucked away and if you don't already know about it, chances are you wont stumble upon it on your own. I almost don't want to write this review because this place is already packed all the time. Moving to fairfield county from long island made us realize that bagels were pretty hopeless in ct, until we found this (and liz sue in stamford) .. i think they are the best bagels north of H&H. In Norwalk, they do great eggs on the flat top griddle - no microwave. They also make this totally unique Bagel Pizza - not just some tomato sauce and cheese on a little round bagel - they do it BIG - they make a whole big pizza pie from bagel dough and top it with some good quality sauce and cheese and its unlike any other pizza you will have. The coffee is good here too, and they have all sorts of cream cheese in the fridges if you are getting a bakers dozen to go .. for me nothing can beat a scrambled egg and cheese on a toasted everything from Liz Sue II. The staff at Liz Sue II is super nice and its been pretty much the same crew for as long as i can remember. i don't know the whole story behind the place, but i think its all family run - one brother at liz sue in stamford and one here. read more

Fantastic bagels (and that's from someone who lived in NY a long time), always a long wait, but its worth it!

Better bagels than NYC. The staff is great and everything is reasonably priced! Fresh bagels daily and the cream cheese options are to die for!! Enjoy!!! read more

Love! Great fresh tasting bagels, fried egg and crispy bacon. Can't ask for more. I do wish the seasoning of the bagels was more prevalent, but we will let it slide. read more

Stopped in on the way to Boston and my bagel and daughter's bagel were inedible! Bagels were okay but we got butter and it was definitely NOT butter - it tasted more like lard or some unknown artificial crap. We wound up throwing them away. My husband got cream cheese on his bagel and he said it was fine. read more

Surprised to see the lukewarm reviews for these bagels. They're pretty on-point Ny style bagels - the right chew on the inside, nice and toasty (if you request it) on the outside, and yes they slather on too much cream cheese. On that point I wish they had more cream cheese selection - esp on the low fat side. All I had available was low fat veggie or scallion. They had my favorite whole wheat everything but you had to ask for it; I guess they only had a little bit left. They also scooped it out for me as per my usual request and thought it was still very delicious. My husband got the same whole wheat everything with bacon egg and cheese. the service was polite and fast. The only bad thing is you pay when you leave which is kind of counter intuitive and a bottleneck since it seems some people do this or some people pay when they receive their order. They should just ring you up when you order. read more

Not sure what the fuss is about. Bagel tastes like something you get in the grocery freezer. 3 people in line, one kid working that looked like he was 15 - two other girls standing asking if people have been helped (the young kid took all our orders) and then they stood there chatting. You would think they would help with the orders. 10 minute wait for a less than mediocre bagel. Paulies Deli on Main Ave is the only go to Bagel place for me from now on. I happen to be driving past Lizsue and decided to stop for convenience. Next time i'll keep driving. Probably could have gotten a better bagel across the street at Dunkin read more

This is the place to buy NYC style bagels hands down! My favorite the multigrain everything bagel. I gi every Sunday to stock up.

Best bagels around. My go to place for breakfast bagel sandwiches, and bulk bagels when we have visitors. Perfectly cooked bagels every time, real bacon, and they don't microwave their eggs. They have great specials as well! read more

The only place to get awesome egg bagels! If you go early you might just get a hot one out of the bagel oven.
