Amazing NYC-type bagels with great spreads. The everything bagel with lox and lite cream cheese is my go-to here.

"Hey baby, I ain't askin' much of you No no no no no no no no, baby I ain't askin' much of you Just a big-a big-a big-a hunk o' love will do" (Elvis Presley) Big is the key word when you visit Lizsue Bagels. The two bagel sandwiches we picked up today were about the biggest bagel sandwiches I ever saw. They were about the same circumference as a hard roll and just as thick. We picked up a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese breakfast bagel and a Turkey Club bagel today. Both sandwiches cost us $17.50 total. The BEC was for my nephew, and I can assure you he made short work of it in record time. My wife and I split the Turkey Club, and if you check out the photo, you'll see how loaded with turkey it was. Half of that sandwich was plenty for each of us. And check out the gigantic slices of cheese pizza they sell. I'm not sure I've ever seen pizza slices that large. Easy five stars all around. read more

Love Liz sue. Always has been a nostalgic staple growing up. The bagels are great but the bacon egg and cheeses aren't my absolute fav read more

We bought half a dozen bagels and veggie cream cheese from their fridge, and half a dozen from westchester bagel shop before our trip to Maine because we weren't sure which we liked better. Thank God we also bought cream cheese in the rye bagel shop because when we got to Maine my husband took two bites of his bagel with veggie cream cheese and we realized the cream cheese was spoiled. Never buying bagels here again. read more

Why are the egg sandwiches microwaved? They don't even try and hide it and nobody seems to care read more

Lizsue Bagels - Inside the store, not the cleanest. Also has boxes and drinks taking up half of the waiting area every time. - Bagels Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

Came here on a recommendation from a friend. Small hole in the wall, which gets crowded fast. I ordered a half dozen bagels and 2 cream cheese. The bagels were big and fresh with a good chew to them. They make several kinds of cream cheese, which were so good. I had bacon cheddar and lite veggie. Both were creamy with the right amount of add ins. Waitstaff is busy and not super friendly. read more

Liz Sue has the best bagels in town. The cream cheese choices are awesome! My youngest daughter lives in NC and it's always the first stop from the airport! Plus she always takes a dozen or 2 home. The service is excellent! Pete & Tony are super generous, always ready to donate to community events. read more

Every time I pass this place thinking of the microwaved eggs & bacon makes my blood boil. I've thought about it and will upgrade this to 2 star for the sheer fact that they have the courage to do it in front of your face. Everything else i said before remains true. Goto Liz sue II in Norwalk, you'll be appalled they have the same name. read more

Price for bagel with cream cheese and lox was $11. Lox was not fresh and tasted off. Messed up my order and put tomatoes instead of onions on my bagel. No prices on menu to let you know how expensive a bagel is. Bagel was decent at best. read more

Very fresh and hot --- Would be nice to have adequate signage online or in store with prices ...

I ordered something for pickup. When I asked one of the staff if my order was ready, he looked at me with a blank cold stare and didn't say a word. Then a few minutes later, another staff member curtly asked, "excuse me, did you call?" in front of everyone, also with an unfriendly expression on his face. read more

They had a lot of bacon.no seating.food was yummy. Nice little local place.very warm inside

Stopped by to pick up 1/2 dozen bagels and was greeted with a smile and efficiency. The man behind the couch yet immediately started to make a list of what I wanted in 1 bag vs. the ones I wanted separated due to their strong herb smell. He did a great job and rang me up quickly. Thank you. I will be back. read more

Love this place! They're local, prices are fair, and bagels are always delicious. Their service is very quick and easy, they write the order right on the bag so it's very difficult to mess up. I go there fairly often and always enjoy it. Often times there's a line, so be ready to order when it's your turn! They're probably one of my favorite bagel establishments in Stamford. read more

Above average bagel spot with your classic bagel spot menu. The place can get busy but service is fast and they're always looking out to make sure you get your order in and food in a timely manner. Favorite bagel is the egg bagel with regular cream cheese. When I want to indulge I'll get a sausage egg and cheese with a hash brown on an egg bagel. read more

Best bagel I've found in CT and definitely in Stamford. My go-to is a toasted everything or egg bagel with chive cream cheese. Jalapeño cheddar cream cheese is great too. Haven't tried a bagel sandwich yet but take it from this jersey girl, this is a solid bagel. There's always a line outside of Liz Sue's for a good reason (luckily it moves pretty quickly). read more

I have been coming here since I was kid, these are easily the best bagels in Stamford!

If i could give 0 stars i would. I remember going in here one day and one of the cooks (chunkiest cook they got) was literally talking down on me saying i looked like a clown & a bunch of other f'd up things about me to his other coworkers, all because my hair was dyed red. Mind you he was talking in Spanish assuming I wasnt going to understand what he was saying. If i was in one of my moods things wouldve ended differently that day but im better than that. To this day i tell all my friends and family not to go there cause who would want that type of customer service. Its ridiculous what people think they can get away with nowadays. I dont care how good the food might be, always treat one another with respect. Lost me indefinitely read more

Came to the Stamford location. Located in the Bulls Head Shopping Center. It's small inside, no seating inside available and there was a line but they moved quickly. I had a Turkey egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Hot, fresh and heavenly. It was delicious the bagel was lightly toasted to perfection with the inside being soft. The cheese was so gooey, eggs were made great and the Turkey layered on top perfectly. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bagel with anything inside or just a bagel. Also tons of parking even though it's shared with the other businesses in this plaza and there is an area to eat outside. read more

Best breakfast sandwiches in town! The staff is gruff but fun. Check you order though. Sometimes things do t quite get I. The bag right. Line is out the door. Don't worry they are fast. read more

Best bagels. If you're from Stamford you know this is the place. Always busy! Best coffee too. Everyone's friendly. 10/10

I wouldn't recommend this place for a bacon egg and cheese, they microwave their eggs. The bagels are average, a little better than Dunkin but nothing out of this world. The place also looks a bit dirty as well. read more

Best bagels on the east coast!! Seriously try you will be amazed‍ Breakfast Sandwiches are unbelievable good! Chicken Salad Sandwich is to dye for Travel from Boston to bring home:) Thank you Lizsue for keeping it real. read more

This place makes the worst BEC I've ever had. The eggs are microwaved in a plastic container, not cooked on a grill. They overloaded the sandwich with terrible bacon that tasted off (either poor quality or near expiration). I took one bite and immediately threw it away. read more

Down right sad.... Is there still a health department in Stamford? Went in for a pumpernickel bagel got a bagel that was the color of a brown paper bag. No flavor to it. I went back to check with staff if it was indeed a pumpernickel, they said it was. Another customer agreed - they don't even resemble pumpernickel (see the pic). The staff also needs to make up their mind - mask on or mask off. Not in between hanging off the face. Haven't been there in decades seems they haven't cleaned since. Waiting for the shits for eating that. read more

Liz Sue Bagels are probably the best bagels in Fairfield County. The staff is always pleasant, and the owners and servers will bring a smile to your face. The bagel shop is an old school establishment that just does it right. How else could they have been in business for 40+ years! read more

Lizsue comes with some good ratings, so on our hunt for a good bagel place in Stamford, this was a must-try. The line is long, and you're guaranteed to wait for a good amount of time for bagels on the weekend. Once inside, the place is a bit cruddy, disorganized, and just not appealing. I was wondering if I was in the right place. The staff is efficient, friendly, and right on top of one another. There's a lot of reheating here - are those microwaves? Not sure if my egg was made fresh or not? I just left the place feeling like are these going to be worth the 20 min wait? The bagels are good, not great. I found them more gummy than I like. Not chewy, gummy, like they needed a min more in the water. We had the lox bagel advertised and promoted by hand-written signs. It was ok. Not amazing or anything, which led me on in my search for the best Stamford bagel. Will we go back, probably not, because I like to get my bagels quicker and in a cleaner environment. read more

The best! THEE BEST!!! What else is there to say. These guys know bagels and they know people. If you have any special requests or like something a little extra, just ask; they will accommodate. There's a reason why they are always busy here: they're amazing!!! Try the lox-job you won't be disappointed. 5 STARS!!! read more

This is our spot. Best bagels around. Microwave bagel orders slow down the line and seems like a bagel only line would help move things along. I assume they like the line outside. They make the rules because they have the good bagels. See ya out there every Sunday. Tip: get there before 8 and you won't wait in line read more

Don't order a bacon egg and cheese here, you will tell them well done bacon and it's not even cooked. This is how you get people sick. Super disappointed read more

Really average bagel spot that seems to always have a line. It goes fast, you'll get your bagels. But I know some people that RAVE about this place. It's a quick takeout bagel place. Very clean. read more

I have ordered various bagels and sandwiches; maybe a baker's dozen of times. This is an average bagel place relative to either nyc or mtl. Are they as good...absolutely NOT. However, it will do in a pinch especially when no other competitors exists. If you're not a fan of heavy amounts of cream cheese, make sure they are aware. They are quite generous even when asking for one side (they still give you enough spread for both). Eggs are microwave in a plastic container that doesn't appeal to me, however, it seems not to bother most patrons. The selection of bagels and cream cheese are the best in the area so far. Success seems to be similar to other establishments in the area; based on tradition, bubble life, or lack of competition. The staff is always friendly and efficient given the crowds. read more

Bagel and all breakfast items are great. The cheddar jalapeño cream cheese is fabulous. The guys at the counter are always fun to interact with. Don't get discourage with the long lines. They move fast. . read more

Very friendly staff, quick service and fair prices. Yummy food too, I got a deli sandwich and they gave me the perfect amount of cold cuts!

Average bagel and barely any cream cheese. Have seen long lines here but would never wait that long. Quick service.

So glad they have a gluten free option for me!!! Usually bagel places have frozen store bought gluten free bagels :( BUT here, they have fresh! I got a gluten free bagel with smoked salmon, cream cheese, & egg whites. The only downside is that they're microwaved which everyone knows :( but it didn't affect the taste much! Another issue I had, my boyfriend got an egg & cheese but they clearly cross contaminated & he had cream cheese & lox from my sandwich smeared on his. Probably used the same knife. What if he was allergic to smoked salmon or something? Sandwiches got out in a timely manner but maybe they should slow down & not cross contaminate LOL. But the gluten free bagel was really good, had a croissant buttery flavor, a bit small but still filling & best gluten free bagel I've tried so far. The salmon was fresh too! read more

Best bagels in Stamford Friendly service great variety Quality and affordable pricing.

Good bagels. Some of the only good bagels in town. Only get bagels... Buyer BEWARE... the egg Sammie's are cracked eggs into a plastic container that they then microwave! The container is used multiple times. Basically eating a plastic leeching sandwich.. gross! This has to be some sort of health violation... even Dunkin uses ovens! Get a proper grill for eggs or don't serve your community microwaved plastic eggs! read more

Small, local bagel shop. Can be a long line but moves quickly. Good choices and variety, all fresh. Definitely suggest if in the area. Seems like a place that has a lot of regulars read more
