THE TUNA MELT IS SO GOOD. My mother loves their egg sandwich with avocado. I'm moving a mile away from Lula Bagel and I considered eating their tuna melt every day until I move. It's really good. Their coffee is great too. I love the ambience of the place. read more

Unfortunately, my first and last time. I wanted to see if a local bagel store might measure up to Bagel Delight in Park Slope. All I can say, not all bagels are made the same! While the service was nice( Covid side window ordering), the bagels were disappointing. Flatter, harder, less taste. Almost stale! So I'll be making the 30 minute round trip from crown heights to park Slope for my bagels from now! read more

I ordered the gluten-free bagel with the celery red onion tofu cream cheese on GrubHub. It was terrible. The cream cheese was the main reason I ordered from this place, but it barely had any celery or red onion in it. I ordered it toasted but it wasn't. I am vegan but not GF, and the restaurant could not confirm that any of their other bagels were made without eggs/dairy. The bagel tasted like the processed ones you buy in a store - not what you want from a NY bagel shop! I wouldn't recommend this place at least for folks who are vegan and/or gluten-free. read more

Lived in Crown Heights past 2 years and still find myself ordering a Whitefish Scallion bagel whenever I need a good pick me up. Staff always seems friendly despite being busy. And one time they played the Hot 8 Brass version of Sexual Healing. Great stuff. I recommend trying some oat milk and your cold brew next time you stop in. read more

Small dry sandwich. They got my order wrong and then argued with me about it and then got it wrong again

This place was delicious- first I came in and the smell of the freshly baked goods filled the store. It's a bit small but the bagels were absolutely perfect and fluffy. The Nova (#2) was delicious. They weren't cheap with the amount of salmon that they put, they filled it completely with cream cheese, capers, onions, dill and fresh yummy salmon for only 10$. The staff was really nice and welcoming. Loved it and I'll definitely pass by on my next trip to Brooklyn. read more

Lula Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Their bacon egg and cheese buttered bagel? The heavens open up each time I bite in. So glad this place isn't closer to me because I would be broke! read more

Stopped here to grab a quick breakfast on the way to work and it did not disappoint! A quick walk from the Nostrand Ave subway stop, this quirky little joint served me a delicious breakfast sandwich. Prices are reasonable, and the staff was super friendly. read more

Lula Bagel - The countertop! - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love this place so much, when I get a new dog I'm def naming her Lula bagel after it :).

Slow service. Orders from pick up window given clear preference over orders from walk-ins. Employees not friendly and clearly did not care for the 30 minutes that went by without fulfilling our order. Will not be coming back. read more

This is my go to grab-n-go lunch spot, as I work in the area. The sandwiches and bagels are fantastic but I usually opt for the salad of the day! The ingredients always taste so fresh and while the salad is super light, it tends to keep me full for much of the day. My only knock on this place is the size. Do not come with a party of more than 3 and expect to have a comfortable dining experience. The space is super limited! I highly recommend Lula's for your next take out meal! read more

Love this place. Always stop In when I am visiting my daughter in Crown Heights. The whitefish salad is excellent. Bagels are yummy and perfectly chewy. read more

As a vegans visiting New York and staying in Brooklyn, my husband and I were excited to try this place out--especially after we read reviews of the vegan spreads. We thoroughly enjoyed our bagel experience, but I wanted to give fellow vegans a heads-up: the staff informed us that NONE of the house-made bagels are vegan. They all have an egg wash. Instead, we purchased the gluten-free bagels, which are also vegan. These bagels are store bought and kept in a bag in the fridge. We loved the tofu cream cheese and avocado spread! Just wish at least one of the house-made bagels was vegan. read more

Great and speedy delivery! I work a few blocks away across eastern parkway and this is a go to lunch spot at work! My favorite is the chipotle chicken salad; so delicious especially when paired with a large iced chai :) read more

The bagels are consistently edible but the service has devolved to something I'd rather not have in my day.

Pretty good bagels, very affordable for Brooklyn! Cute interior dining area, or you can pick up through a window straight out to Lincoln Pl!

I absolutely recommend. Perfect, local, fast breakfast place with unique freshly made sandwiches. We ordered through seamless, hours go by, still no delivery. Although not their fault, they gave us a complete refund and a cute note! Our food eventually came and it was totally worth the wait. read more

There's many bagel/coffee shops around here the reason I choose lula is they have a walk up and it's perfect to grab when you're walking your dog. Other than convenience it's always at minimum 10-15 min wait. The bagels are aggressively firm and they are a bit over priced. The staff are always friendly but if you were deciding between here and another place I'd go with the other one. read more

The customer service here is atrocious. It's in my neighborhood and food is decent, so I stop by semi regularly for breakfast or a baguette and was used to the unsmiling, indifferent folks behind the counter. But recently they took the rudeness up a notch. I ordered two fried egg sandwiches to go, but when I got home I found they had given me egg salad instead. When I walked back, I stood at the counter, and - no exaggeration - had to say "excuse me" six times before anyone would acknowledge my existence. No apology for the wrong order or me having to walk back and wait all over again. The woman took the bag out my hand and said "the order said egg salad." As if that was my fault. That was it. Glad competition has started popping up along Nostrand. read more

I'm new to the neighborhood and have been passing this place daily and finally decided to stop by yesterday. SO glad that I did! There was a decent line of people but they handled it like pros. I didn't wait long in line OR for my bagel. Also-shout out to the sweet lady working. I told her I was new and she gave me the quick run down. I didn't feel rushed or "looked down on". Ok. Now to the FOODS. I got a whole wheat everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese which was AMAZING. They gave a very nice spread of cream cheese which I appreciated compared to some places that only give you a small layer. The minimum for cards was $7 so I "had" to get a couple cookies since I didn't have cash on me. I got a few of the chocolate chip cookies and they were AMAZING too! They were pretty thin and more crispy than chewy but I loved them! Thanks! Looking forward to visiting again soon! read more

You gotta try the Turkey Mozzarella Pesto sandwich!! So good! And everyone who works here is the best! I love this spot -- one of my favorite coffee shops: chill vibes, great food, fair prices, nice people. read more

UPDATE: Alright so the owner reached out to me to address the problems I had with the customer service and food quality. I really appreciate that so it gets a bit of a star boost. Hopefully the next time I try out this place things will be better! You know I try. I really really try. But I just ordered delivery from them and was so excited to get some bagels delivered to me! Also ordered a caprese sandwich, which was SO OILY, but they forgot one of my bagels! When I called to inform them they were like "Nope. Everything was in the bag." Without asking who I was, what I ordered, etc. Only after I insisted I was missing a bagel did the guy I was speaking to sigh really annoyed at ME and go "Okay. I'll call you back." And then he hung up on me. Of course he did call me back twenty minutes later to tell me that they were just going to take my bagel off of my ticket, no option for them to deliver it or any apology. Just the same S**Tsippin attitude I've become accustomed to from this place. read more

Halelula for reasonably priced coffee! (see what I did there?) Small for $1?!?!! Oh hell yes. Bagel & cream cheese (although a bit too bread-y and not crispy enough for my taste) is also a reasonable $2.50. Friendly people, sunny, small but comfortable with a fair amount of seating in the windows and the back, good music. Will be back! p.s. Minimum credit card charge is $7. read more

I have been in New York for too long if I get excited to find a small coffee for a dollar anywhere but a coffee cart. I am the laziest of bones so I never make my own coffee, I always buy a cup. I finally swung by Lula on the way to the park and my eyes basically popped when I saw the menu. Did I REALLY spend only $4 on a medium coffee and a bagel with cream cheese? I'm fairly confident that would be around $7 anywhere else in NYC. Yikes. As for the quality, the coffee is perfectly serviceable. Leagues better than bodega or cart coffee, but it's certainly not artisanal. My cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese was the way it should be, and my three friends enjoyed their Everything bagels with other toppings. The decor is extra super duper charming. It's decorated with artifacts from a machine shop, paired with distressed wood and tarnished chandeliers. The counters have bolts, old keys, fasteners, and other errata below a piece of glass. Really cool. Will return. read more

Loved my croissant sandwich-panini style ;)) they use fresh quality ingredients also ...the cheese and ham are a perfect mix for a quick bite to eat for lunch... And the strawberry tart was delicious as well... read more

Lula Bagel - Delicious!!! - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

The owner of Lula happened to see my review and contacted me about my experience. I am pleased that he reached out to me and was genuinely sorry for what happened. He also assured me that his staff was addressed and that it would never happen again to me or any other customer. I appreciate his kindness and taking the time to reach out to me and giving me a gift-card to give his shop another try. Now that is good customer service. read more

Bagel was way over cooked. Gluten free bagel was sub par for a bagel shop. Lox we're very tasty tho!

Walking around my neighborhood my partner discovered this face stuffing gem of a spot. The coffee is pretty good. A little heavy on the syrups, but that was my fault the affable person behind the counter would have listened if I asked. Kind, sweet staff. I got a lox sandwich on pumpernickel. Bagel was underwhelming, but on the whole? Fucking delicious sandwich with a good hearty bent. Maybe a bit pricey considering the bagel was a tad dry, but still delicious and filling. Cute place, great staff, good sandwiches and lovely atmosphere. Love it. read more

I live in this neighborhood and come here pretty frequently. Bagels and sandwiches are good but don't bother if you're in a rush. JUST updated from 4 to 1 star. Can't come here anymore because efficiency is non-existent. It's a bummer but coffee and a bagel shouldn't take 15-25 minutes. read more

I absolutely love the decor, little sewing machine tables and I love that they always have citrus water available BUT! The Bagels! If I ask for it toasted it's raw inside and charred black on the outside. PLEASE fix your toaster!! I ask every time for double toasted and half the time it's chewy and raw and half the time it's chewy and black. I walk the extra six blocks and get better bagels. read more

"A-OK" is what yelp says for 3 stars, making Lula Bagel no greater than a 3 star joint. Pros: + it's the only decent bagel store within a walkable distance from my apartment + they are clean + they are sometimes friendly + they have raspberry flavored cream cheese + they are affordable Cons: - they cannot, for the life of them, toast my bagel (even when asked to "double toast it" - they have limited seating room - they are too noisy to sit down and get any work done - they don't remember you even if you go 3x weekly read more

Wayyyyy overpriced!!! Purchased 2 bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches for $19. Sandwiches didn't live up to the price! I threw the bagel away for one of the sandwiches. Such a let down. read more

This place is dope. My boyfriend lives nearby, so I've started coming here for morning coffee, which is strong and delicious. They have almond milk too, which is a HUGE plus. They're lemonade/ice tea is perfect for summer, and I've eaten both breakfast and lunch here as they're menu is pretty good for all kinds of sandwiches (also good hangover food). People have been friendly, prices are a lot cheaper than the coffee shops around my work and I like the all around vibes and aesthetics. I talked to the owner who told me that he built all of the furniture himself from pieces he found at antique shops. Lastly, this place is particularly good for people watching as there are big windows for watching the shenanigans on Nostrand Ave while you use their free wifi. So glad to welcome this place to the nabe'. read more

See all

Messed up our order. Tuna melt was far below average. When I asked if they had gluten free options the guy was condescending, judge mental and downright rude. Mind your own damn business and give me a polite no, thank you very much. That being said, their ginger tea was wonderful and made with fresh ginger. read more

A great place to stop by for a quick bagel, coffee, baked good, etc (on weekdays at least). This is right on my way to the Nostrand station and the service is speedy and professional. A few times I've sat down and this is also pleasant as you are surrounded by peculiar post-industrial decor (I would love to know where they found it all). Hopefully the price of avocados go down so that they can resume offering the Avocado delight. The Mediterranean bagel (hummus, peppers, sprouts, and some other things) is my other go-to. I've never gone here on weekends, purely because it gets packed around prime brunch hours. read more

It's not that lula is doing anything Wrong, it's that there are definitely better bagels to be had. I would say that if this is convenient it is worth a stop but you can find better bagels at the near by bagel pub or elsewhere. There cold brew was decent but nothing to write home about- not quite as strong as I would prefer. Pretty middle of the road place. The better thing they serve are their panini- a lot more flavor than their bagels have. The ambiance is cute and charming and it's convenient in the morning, which is why I probably go back more than I would other places. read more

Basically, if this place were to exist anywhere that has typical bagel shops in the vicinity, it would not survive for long. It's almost a travesty that it exists, this is the type of establishment you'd find thriving in some southern state suburb. Got a tuna/avocado sandwich for about $7 I think. Bagel was mediocre, toasted until it was burnt, and was lightly filled with thin layers of an uninspiring tuna salad and avocados. Definitely not coming back, I'll settle for a simple bagel w/ shmear instead, despite my fervent love of bagel sandwiches. read more

This place is amazing, honestly, I'm an addict. I go here damn near every day. The baristas are all wonderful, talented, and funny. The bagels are always delicious - I'm a sucker for the avocado delight or the dill cream cheese. As a huge coffee snob, living next door to such a wonderful coffee shop is a dream come true. The coffee here is amazing. I always drink a cold brew black, and it's awesome. Really can't say anything negative about this place; and I love that they have DOUGH on Sundays (though it certainly gets busier on Sundays as a result). Really, the employees here are killin it, and the only reason I haven't tried to get a job here is because I don't want to ruin my routine of being a customer here. I ordered delivery today and it arrived early, dropped off by a very sweet guy; so, I recommend it for delivery too. Tip these lovely people well, ya'll! read more

Here it is - I've been saving this for the perfect bagel spot, but I can finally say it: this is THE BEST bagel and lox I've had in New York! I travel all over the five boroughs for work and make it a point to seek out the best bagel spot in the area whenever the craving hits. I have tried many a bagel lox sandwiches but this is hands down my favorite one! When I bit into it I forgot I was supposed to be working lol Whole wheat everything was so fresh and fluffy and cream cheese selections were plentiful! The staff turned out a very long lunch line VERY quickly. Quality spot not to be missed for the best bagels in the area!!! read more

Big fan of Lula Bagel - usually stop by at least once a week for a bagel with cream cheese (onion and everything are my go-tos)! It can get a little crazy on the weekends so be prepared and while the bagels come out quick, the rest of menu items may take a couple minutes. The pressed ham and cheese on a croissant is a nice treat from time to time and isn't super expensive as well as the roll-type things with eggs and other good things in them. Haven't had hot coffee - only iced as well as the hot apple cider. As other folks have said, they do have a CC minimum of 7 bucks. For sure worth stopping by if you're in the neighborhood! read more
