Sourdough bagels, LOTS of creative options for bagels, cream cheeses and sandwiches. It's got a fun vibe and a nice selection of drinks too. Only real complaint is that the bagels are on display but aren't individually labeled by type so I had to guess or eventually ask someone to explain each one to me (which the music was a little loud to hear clearly and also thankfully it wasn't too busy when I was there but that would be hard to do if it was busy). The workers were nice explained when I asked and helped with additional weistions when I had-- which I had a lot because I felt like I walked into a bagel toy store! That may interesting options to try For the actual bagels-- I got 1) Egg everything with plain cc 2) Parmesan oregano bagel with buttah (their naming not mine) 3) Aleppo pepper bagel w/ Gochujang cc on the side 4) Blueberry bagel (plain) My favorite was the Parmesan oregano HANDS DOWN it was moist chewy and delicious. Definitely would go back just for that. I feel the others could be better esp the egg everything- it was oddly dry which is weird since I think they make bagels fresh. The Aleppo pepper was not bad but with the Gochujang cc it was too salty for my liking. Gochujang cc was interesting in general. Blueberry was good but also-- standard not bad can't go wrong. Overall my recommendation is try, and come back to try again-- until you've tried them all! I've heard jalapeño cheddar is great sadly I didn't try it-- next time Oh just to add-- there's no seating inside so be prepared to enjoy them elsewhere!

The best little neighborhood bagel spot to date. Always busy, but the food comes out promptly…read more Curley's has a very unique selection of bagels. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is the avocado bagel with an egg, which comes out with raddish, tomato, pickled onions, pumpkin seeds and a few more things. It is about $15, but every penny is so so worth it. When I want a quick b breakfast - I order a rosemary bagel with scallion creme cheese. I am not sure what kind of drugs they put in the dough, but I am hooked! Every bagels I have eaten from there in the last 8 months is consistent in quality. Just top notch! Everyone I met working there is also very pleasant. Once I walked in at 225pm, not knowing that their new closing time is 230pm and the staff still made me and my sister who came with me that day - two perfect bagels. They have a few benches outside, and I am always so eager to get to my food I just sit in front of the shop and munch on my bagels. There is also quite a selection of cold drinks to choose from. I personally like to pair the organic apple juice with my rosemary bagels. YUM YUM YUM!

I ordered the Bella Nova on a rainbow bagel. While the lox and herby cream cheese were great, the bagel was very very hard and chewy. Took forever to ingest. Should I have tried a regular bagel?

I tried an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and it was loaded! The cream cheese was so well flavored, airy and light, it had to be one of the best cream cheese I had.

Lots of seating area and a variety of food to order from Bagels, sandwiches, heroes and even breakfast along with desserts already prepped and made. Service was a bit on the slow side but it was lunch rush and it was fairly busy so I won't knock them too much on that. I got an American Grinder Hero (Roast Beef, Turkey, Ham with American Cheese, Swiss, Lettuce, Tomatoes and Honey Mustard) yeah pretty loaded there, along with BBQ Chips, Sprite and Chocolate Pudding. I did enjoy my meal as a whole but I got to bring address something and thankfully I noticed before I went through with my order. No knock on Knickerbocker Bagel but inventory leaves something to be desired. Half of the chips you have were past their expiration dates and the first soda I picked was a few weeks old itself. Gotta do a better job on making sure your stuff is good to go and not stale and dated. That bit of nitpicking aside, when it comes to food preparation, it's pretty solid.

Seriously it's like walking back into the 90s in Ridgewood. I'm not gonna lie, I had high expectations for being a bespoke southern breakfast sandwich shop because I like my morning flavors savory. They had some fun ideas like a cheese something biscuit whatever but I wouldn't know cause they gave me the wrong sandwich. It was busy so I didn't bother mentioning it... but this place always seemed busy, so maybe they should be used to it? Anywho, I ended up with two of their classic BEC and it was pretty standard and kind of a letdown for Southern. The wait on the line and the 15ish minutes after and the price weren't so standard but this was their last week, so you pick your battles.

I honestly have faith in anything that comes from their kitchen but their "New Yorker" with the spicy bacon and jam is my favorite combination! Make sure you order it on the cheddar and chive biscuit as well, and I must say that they definitely make one of the best chive and cheddar biscuits that I've ever had! They also make a MEAN bundt cake that I forgot to take a pic of. My ONLY hiccup with them is their wait time. Called in my order 20 minutes before I arrived and still waited an additional 30 minutes once I got there smh.... But don't worry I'll be back lol Ambiance is like a local coffee shop. Literally a Corner Shoppe lol.

Small luncheonette. Long lines but goes by fast. Everything is made fresh so expect a wait time…read more The Dill Party was amazing. Turkey sandwich, cheese dill avocado.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 8 This is one of the hottest sandwich shops in all of NYC over the past couple of years. You see them on social media and every list for the best sandwiches. Every time I stopped by, I see a line, which hopefully means that they have developed a loyal following. I have now visited a handful of times, hence I feel confident enough to properly evaluate the restaurant. Here are my thoughts on some of their sandwiches. Dill Party (7.5/10) - This is one pf their most popular sandwiches and never leaves the menu. It's not my favorite, but it's a super solid choice. The dill flavor simply permeates through each bite of turkey and avocado. If I don't see my favorites on the menu, I wouldn't hesitate to order this sandwich. Fancy Bologna (7/10) - I love mortadella, but this sandwich does not hit high marks for me. I think it's the pepper spread that slightly distracts my taste buds from experiencing the delicate flavors. Chicky (8.5/10) - Rare hot sandwich on the menu. Everything works. I love the juicy ground chicken patty paired with creamy feta and smoked paprika mayo on a sesame seed bun. Charred onion and arugula are perfect additions too. Dr. Broccolini (8/10) - I added Spanish anchovies to this sandwich, which took it from good to fantastic. Never thought I would enjoy a mostly vegetarian sandwich, but this is one of my favorites here for its textural and flavor contrast. Fillet-y of Fishy (9.5/10) - One of the best things I ate in 2024. They need to have this sandwich more often. I have been dreaming about this nearly perfect fish sandwich for over 1.5 years now. Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie (8/10) - Very good finish to the meal. Not overly sweet, with just enough touch of salt. Relatively crispy with a slightly gooey center. Pistachio Chocolate Cake (8.5/10) - Had this at the Queen's Together International Expo at the end of 2024. Couldn't get enough of this deliciously moist cake. Wish they make this product regularly. Rhubarb Custard Cake (7/10) - Not bad, but nothing special. The cake was moist and the custard was light and creamy, but the rhubarb didn't have any impact. Yuzu Meringue Pie (8.5/10) - What a great graham cracker crust. For a meringue lover, it's like a key lime pie on steroids. Slightly sweet for me, but a wonderful slice of pie overall. Coconut Cream Pie (8/10) - Nice coconut flavor with a delicious custard. Fluffy whipped cream. Excellent pie crust. Quite enjoyed it. PB & J Cake (7/10) - Though the cake is moist, I found the peanut butter a bit light in flavor compared to the jelly. Not my favorite, but still good. As you can see, I appreciate most of the sandwiches and desserts that Salty Lunch Lady offers. However, I have to admit that the prices are slightly high for a relatively small sized sandwich. I guess it's the norm nowadays with all these fancy sandwich shops popping up in different parts of NYC. Besides, I'm part of the statistics after all.
