I've been coming here almost every day for years, and somehow I neglected to leave a review. It's about time I fixed that. This is a small, family-owned place that does things the right way. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, the staff is friendly, and it's the kind of place where you can sit down, relax, and enjoy your morning coffee without feeling rushed. In a city full of chain stores and corporate coffee shops, places like this are becoming harder and harder to find. The bagels are excellent, the coffee is consistently good, and they make a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich exactly the way a New Yorker expects it to be made. Simple, fresh, and satisfying. After all these years, I can't believe I never took a moment to give these guys the credit they deserve. If you're looking for a great local spot for breakfast, coffee, or just a place to start your day, this place is definitely worth a visit. read more

Oof! They are VERY overpriced... My husband and I usually get our bagels from a different local spot that's further away, however we decided to give this place a try after running a 5K on Saturday. Everything was very chaotic from the start. The person who took our order asked us to repeat it about 3 times, which should've been a sign.. After taking our order, we awkwardly stood there waiting to pay. Then a second employee asked us what we wanted to order, which was puzzling. We told her that we already ordered and needed to pay. We stepped closer to the register, but then she began to ring up the gentleman who had ordered a few minutes before us. Very confusing. We ordered 2 everything bagels (toasted) with egg and extra cheese (one slice Munster, one slice cheddar). I've ordered this exact same bagel at many other establishments and have never had an issues with it, however this place didn't seem to understand. They gave us our 2 bagels: one with 2 slices of cheddar, the other with 2 slices of Munster.. We ended up paying $6 MORE (before tip) for the same thing we get from somewhere else further away. However our order was wrong and the bagels themselves weren't anything special - just average. We're not planning to come back. We'd rather walk half a mile further to save money and the headache. read more

I've tried so many different bagels in the city and this has to be one of the best! Not overwhelmingly large but still a decent size, crispy exterior and soft on the inside. Also love that they have bags of day old bagels for $2 read more

I really liked the bagels here because they're old-fashioned water-boiled bagels -- dense, fresh, and much better than most other spots on the same block. I've stopped by many many times for takeout and never paid much attention to the service. Usually there's an Asian lady working who is friendly and efficient. Recently, though, I've been seeing another older woman working there, and unfortunately she's been consistently rude. She barely speaks English, so I often have to repeat my order multiple times, which already makes the interaction frustrating. On several occasions she was yelling at customers, and the last time they got my order wrong, I politely pointed it out and she responded by yelling at me and practically throwing the order back at me. That experience completely ruined the place for me, and I absolutely won't be coming back. read more

Quality seems to have changed a bit in recent years, coupled with prices going too far up. Prices were raised when eggs were temporarily high-priced, but never lowered prices after, so it's really quite expensive compared to other options. Really depends who is at the grill to get a good order. Had enough orders done technically right but not well to stop coming. They've recently taken to imitating other long-popular shops' menus by copying one-of-a-kind Korean bagel sandwiches originated by Ben at Between the Bagel on 30th Ave., which feels weird. Hope they refocus on quality ingredients and better order quality, be realistic about pricing, and hopefully get back to a more solid foundation. read more

Forget the other reviews with their negative comments! This Bagel shop is the TRUTH! All their bagels are delicious and the price is Right On! Thank you so very much Lot's O Bagels! My Family Appreciates you!! read more

Terrible experience , second time already. They are poor with online orders and are not honest with the customers . I was told the food had been out for delivery on two separate occasions . Only to find out it never left the store. I waited an hour and a half , reached out to grub hub and grub hub canceled my order . The restaurant never once called me to inform me on anytning over the course of an hour and a half . I spoke with a lady and a guy each time. Terrible customer service skills. read more

Used to come here as a kid and it was my favorite bagel. The bagels were fluffy with a crisp outside, just absolutely delicious. The bagels are still good but I don't feel like they are as good as they used to be throughout the years. It's nice that they offer tofu cream cheese options and is still a solid bagel spot. The staff is friendly and always smiling and the place is cozy and comfortable to sit in and enjoy breakfast. read more

Great bagels. Good chew. Not hard. Excellent value. Service with a smile. Limited indoor seating.

This place used to be great but their prices have risen even more, and the last few orders were totally disappointing. Paid extra for an Everything bagel, medium toasted; got a plain bagel that was doughy and barely toasted. The farmer's omelette was more potatoes than anything else. The last breakfast that I had, they didn't even bother to cook the onions and the peppers in the eggs, just sliced cold onion and some pepper pieces on the egg. Paid $17 for a farmer's omelette, no substitutions, everything extra, and it was dry and the bagel was a total disappointment. read more

Don't be fooled by the outside storefront - this place is awesome! Delicious bagels with a variety of spreads. Opened early and on my way to an early weekend shift at the hospital, the staff were extremely kind and helpful. The menu has a variety of options and dependable breakfast sandwiches. The coffee is great tasting, and the bagel fillings are generous. Granted, there are plenty of good breakfast spots in this area of Astoria so it's difficult to identify features that help separate this from other spots. Food selections deviate from the norm, in a good way, though. They offer acai bowls, "overnight oats" and "overnight chia seeds," for those who wish to try something different. They have savory French Toast bagels right behind the cash register to tempt your appetite, and flaunt their rainbow bagels (for good reasons). I would certainly be back here to order my egg white bagel on a gutted poppy seed bagel + regular coffee - it's simply fast, efficient, and delicious. read more

Needed a bagel, got a bagel, does the job. Staff is nice, and a good price point for NYC. But there's not much you can do to make a bagel "super great" so location is often the deciding factor for a bagel shop. read more

Great service but the bagels are the star of the show and go down well. This is my favorite spot for bagels when I am in the area.

I haven't had a bagel from NYC in a very long time and boy was I reminded of how good they are. Crispy on the outside and perfectly soft on the inside! Great prices, pretty fast service. I got a bacon egg and cheese on an asiago bagel which was stuffed to the max as you can see from my photo. They have so many different flavors of cream cheeses too. If I lived in the city they would probably get most of my money tbh. 10/10 recommend! read more

Actually, I like their ice coffees better!! I prefer coming here for cold drinks such as ice coffees and juice.The bagels are okay, so there is nothing to write home about read more

After owners/management changed, food portions have gone down while prices went up. I've given them a few tries just to see if it was just an off day but they are consistently really skimping on the fillings and the bagels are tough, so disappointing. I wanted to continue supporting this small business as I have been for many years but better off going to Between the Bagel instead. read more

Staff's SO friendly even at crazy early hours. Fairly priced, super quick. Slightly too chewy for my preference but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Card minimum of $6, bring cash read more

My phone rang and the person on the other end did not speak English. She was lost and couldn't find my address nor could I help her because she did not understand me. I called Lots O Bagels and they said they were busy and had to send a grandmother who got lost. I said how is this professional and the person on the phone (said they were the manager) said she's on her way with the food so what's your problem. I'm not going to lie I told her off and she should be fired. Who sends senior citizens with a language barrier out in the cold to do deliveries? read more

My go to spot when I'm in Astoria. I personally think it's better than all the other popular spots. It's very consistent which is key. The bagels are very big and always cooked perfectly. I may go as far as saying that they have the best bacon scallion cream cheese. No other spot has been better than theirs and I've had plenty. They have a huge selection of cream cheeses in general. I also really line their bacon egg and cheese. The owner is one of the nicest people I've ever met. She runs a great business and loves to get to her customers. They all wear masks inside and observe social distancing. read more

They forgot the lox AGAIN. Wow. How do you forget the main ingredient, the thing that the item is named after? Never ordering from here again. read more

This is my go to spot for bagels in Astoria! They bagels are perfect NyC bagels- that are nice and doughy and fresh! The everything bagel and cinnamon raisin bagels never disappoint! The shop is just so consistent with the quality of bagels, that I always know they will be good and fresh! The bagels are also large, so you are full after eating one! The scallion cream cheese is also delicious and flavorful, so would recommend. For Instagram lovers: they even have a rainbow bagel to satisfy all your photo needs. They are taking covid seriously and wear masks and socially distance. When you are outside, the shop may look closed - but it's not - so definitely stop in for a bagel! Tip: if you buy 6, you get 1 free ($7.50 for 7 bagels feels like such a steal) read more

Bagel with egg and sausage was like $6.25. That won't make me full so I asked how much would it be with pastrami and it was almost $10. I didn't mind the price but when I got my food, I only got egg and pastrami without the sausage. I was like where is the sausage? She told me I ordered the egg and pastrami and I guess she misunderstood me because I wanted all 3! The pastrami is weak because it's supermarket meat, boars head and nothing special. I would not opt for egg and pastrami because the pastrami is thinly sliced and less filling compared to getting the sausage and I also paid more with the pastrami. Overall, I liked the bagel but I was not thrilled about the egg and pastrami. Lacked flavor. I probably will look elsewhere for breakfast sandwiches in the future. read more

Have been coming here for Years because I work nearby and absolutely love their Bagels ! Love that its a Family owned Business and you can tell in the quality . The local chain spots don't compare as far as quality . My Fav is the Blueberry bagel , they make it better than most read more

Almost a 10 dollar breakfast sandwich with two little pieces of bacon and one very sad egg. Not appetizing at all - how do you mess up a BEC in New York? Skip.... Overpriced and not worth it. read more

I think it's time they invest in a proper bagel cutter. Never get a bagel cut properly especially worse during rush hours. Still a great place to get a bagel. Service is quick even on busy days. read more

Been going here for years. My food was over a half hour wait. They said they had the wrong quote times. My food is cold. I called to have at least a refund on the sandwich... as the pastry could be eaten at room temperature. They were extremely rude and never said sorry. Poor customer service. read more

This place is the best! I love the food, the people work so hard and they are always so fast and consistent. Anyone who gives LOB a bad rating is an idiot. read more

This is my go-to bagel place in Astoria. The bagels are a perfect size and their sandwiches are delicious. One extra plus is how they sell bags of day-old bagels (five for $2.00). I'll take this place over most bagel shops in the area. read more

Loved the everything bagels and bacon scallions cream cheese! The bagels are also the right size not too big or small.

This place is ridiculous You ask for butter on the bagel and they never put anything on it And if you ask them for butter they wanna charge you extra And they just don't do it All they worried about is ringing up money in the cash register Instead of keeping their customers happy I've had it with this place it doesn't even deserve one star. There are so many people that have the same problem in this neighborhood. Thank God this a bagel place right across the street and they may be even cheaper or the same price read more

Bagels were nice and fresh. However, there are not many options for cold cuts- I only saw one meat option which was Boars Head and multiple mixed brand cheeses. Don't expect much more from this bagel store besides an assortment of cream cheese or butter. Also, not many chips (no Lays, Doritos, or "normal" chips options, all were gourmet) or drink choices. This is an "upscale" bagel store and pretty expensive. I got an apple juice, a buttered bagel, and two scrambled eggs on a bagel and it came out to 9$. It seems like this bagel store is only capable of simple orders. read more

Let it be known that this place has shaved ice now and it's actually very good! The owners are Korean so it's Korean style. If I was going to rate this place on the bagels and coffee alone it would probably be a 3.5. Good but nothing out of the ordinary. But their shaved ice puts them up to 4 stars. read more

The bagels here are actually pretty good and for a quick pick me up walking past it, it's definitely 5 stars. Delivery is a miss. It's always an hour plus wait to get your food and it just doesn't taste the same. Food prices have also gone up these past couple of years quite a bit! This place use to be packed with students buying bagels before. Haven't been that way in years, so I guess that speaks to the price hike. Pro Tip! Yato loves his everything bagel. Toasted with cream cheese? YUM! Yato doesn't like waiting for an hour for a bagel. (Sad noise, I don't know which to type out so use your imagination.) read more

This place had the best bagels for your dollar. Just like any other bagel place it has a variety of bagels and cream cheese to choose from. I got an everything bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese + coffee for $5 which I thought was a great deal. The bacon scallion spread was very tasty, they put just the right amount so that it isn't too much cream cheese and not too little that you just taste the bread. The service was super friendly. There is practically no lineup. The location is prime, seconds away from the subway station. They have free wifi, just ask the cashier for the password. read more

These are the best bagels. They have so many options (cranberry walnut, french toast, egg everything) but I always go for the everything bagel with plain cream cheese (they also have a huge assortment of cream cheeses). I've never had a bad bagel here in years of weekend visits. There are a lot of bagel options close by, but none of them are as good as they are here. read more

3.5 rounded up in gratitude for their generous portioning (for most items...) and competitive pricing. Love that you can easily get delivery through Seamless. LOVE how generous they were with the 1/2 lb cream cheese order! Solid bagel breakfast sammy. Love that they have a spinach bagel option. Wish they were more generous with the amount of bacon for the BLT (it is the star of that classic sammy, after all!), and fresher tomatoes (mind were kind of slimy...). Wish the bagels weren't so "flat". But delivery was within a reasonable amount of time. Delivery guy was nice. And they're slightly lower in cost than my go to (which requires putting on pants, or using a non-mainstream delivery order option). Give 'em a whirl! read more

I have been getting bagels here for many years. The coffee is great also They are very reasonably priced. Most times I go in to buy a dozen bagels to bring home. Other times, my husband and I go in to get roast beef, turkey or ham and swiss on a bagel. They make the sandwiches very well. Its usually very busy anytime you go in there, however that shows also that they do a very good business. Love this place and they are very helpful and friendly also! read more

This place is great. The staff is friendly and profesional. Best Philly cheese steak I ever taste.

Great bagels; great egg sammies; great deli sammies... Cannot go wrong!!! So many options from cream cheese variety to even the drink selection. This is our go to breakfast spot. We were in charge of picking up sandwiches before a football game and they were huge! Service is always great and I love that they sell "yesterday's bagels" for $2. read more

Ordered half a dozen plus a few single bagels for my team this morning as a little morale booster/pick me up and I'll say that they were without a doubt some of the best bagels we've ever had. HUGE, soft, and so incredibly fresh and tasty. The scallion cream cheese was also amazing. So happy we went with them! Thank you! read more
