I was so excited to come to this all gf bakery. I ordered items that I know I can't make as good at home such as bagels, the cinnamon roll, and the brioche donut. My husband got a breakfast sandwich on a bagel. Since becoming gluten free, I've missed soft pretzels. So obviously I had to order the pretzel bagel with plain cream cheese. It was delicious. We also ordered the cinnamon bun latte and chocolate babka latte. They were both ok. The everything bagel my husband's breakfast sandwich came on lacked flavor to be honest. The brioche donut was soft and tasted like the real thing. The cinnamon roll was the best one I've had since becoming gluten free. It was pretty busy inside, but because I ordered something simple it came out pretty quick. My husband's order, on the other hand, took some time. read more

What happened to Modern Bagel? Their food used to be excellent and one of the few truly gluten free options for bagels. Therefore higher prices were acceptable. But oddly this store location is just strange, no place to sit, just a counter or screens to self-order. I ordered a plain bagel and a breakfast burrito. That burrito was almost inedible - the doughy wrap was and tasted truly burnt (and not the beneficial 'toasted' flavors), the grilled onions inside were overpowering and out of place, then there was some egg and potato too, the sauce was good). Even someone without culinary education or talent can tell something is burnt, as I was reminded in every single bite, before I tossed most of it in the trash. And regarding tipping - my rule is 'if I don't sit, I don't tip'. Counter or screen order, bag of goods handed to me, walking out. Really what has happened to food service? Crappy ingredients, woefully prepared, even burnt food, no place to sit and expecting a tip?! read more

This place is open until 9:30 PM most days, but they stop serving toasted bagels with cream cheese at 5 PM when they switch over to their other menu. This is a bagel shop. Keep your toaster running until you close. read more

Such a cute location but the pastry I got was inedibly dry. It just gave straight hockey puck. I came by at like 9am, so I can only assume it was from the night prior. Staff did not make eye contact and just seemed annoyed to service people. read more

I was so happy I remembered that Modern Bread and Bagel opened their Midtown East location! I was in the office for our holiday party that was happening later on that night so I didn't want to eat anything too heavy, but I knew I wanted to try one of their bagels. (Sweet treat would have to be for another time). I decided to order a toasted everything bagel with tofu cream cheese. I am so glad I ordered because it was literal perfection. I can't wait to go back and try a pastry! read more

Went in to this location yesterday around 10:30am in which I simply ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese I then noticed my total was different than what I was charged on apple pay I asked the workers about it and they acted all confused until they were like oops guess it was automatic tip. I didn't know automatic tip is 50% of what I'm already paying, I asked for it back and they say it's ok we deserve it. As I'm walking out the store they say "Thank you so much for your tip we appreciate you" bad look on this company as a whole. I wonder how many people they do this to on a daily basis. DONT COME TO THIS LOCATION read more

Another amazing Gluten free bakery in the area serving up many delicious options. I had the chocolate rugula and it was a nice pastry filled with lots chocolate and baked to perfection. Sister had the pop tart and said it was a bit chewy and if we toasted it many it would be better. read more

After all the social media hype, I was expecting to love everything, but unfortunately was pretty disappointed with my experience here. I was really looking forward to trying these bagels, but didn't get there until around 4pm, so there wasn't a ton to choose from, which is understandable. My go-to at any bagel establishment is an everything, but they were out so I opted for cinnamon raisin, toasted with strawberry cream cheese. I also grabbed a chocolate zucchini bread. The zucchini bread was dry and had a spongey consistency. The outer edges were hard and the loaf lacked flavor and sweetness. I know it's GF, but I was just expecting more, because I've had many GF baked goods that were moist and delicious, and that you wouldn't know were gluten free. This was not one of them. Onto the bagel. It was decent, but again, not the greatest. I asked for it to be toasted but it was barely. The strawberry cream cheese was excellent, but the way it was put on the bagel was messy. Not evenly distributed and it clumped in the bagel hole and was spilling out everywhere, meanwhile the rest of the bagel hardly had any cream cheese. It was not suitable for walking and eating, although I tried! Ended up tossing the majority of it. Service was meh. Maybe things would have been better early in the morning when items are fresh, but I won't go out of my way to return here. If you are celiac, then it's probably awesome for you because it's a dedicated gluten free facility and everything in the shop is GF. So from a safety standpoint, probably awesome for those who absolutely cannot have wheat. Still, I wasn't a fan. read more

Oh no... ordered a Super Seed bagel toasted with plain cream cheese and it was the saddest excuse for a bagel I've seen in the last decade. So small, SO DENSE, no flavor. Yikes! What am I paying for here? What a disappointment. Ambiance was nice but service was also disappointing. The man at the register looked utterly confused because I asked if there were any low-fat options for spreads. Maybe it was his first day? Overall a poor product and I'll never return. read more

I can't stop thinking about this bagel, probably because I haven't had one in years being gluten free! Went with a cinnamon raisin with cream cheese and it was perfect. Also had a brioche donut which was different but very good! Not too sweet! Wish they'd open in Charleston!! read more

This is my first time back in NYC since becoming gluten-free, and OMG. The bagels were amazing. My husband, who is not gluten-free, said he would never know they didn't have gluten. This made me so happy! The donuts were amazing too. I will be going here every time I'm in NY. And shipping them home! read more

Stopped by this place because I read everything was gluten free. What a great experience. Finally a gluten free bagel place! I have to admit, the bagel was very good for being gluten free. We also had a berry muffin which was also delish. read more

Pretty disappointed with this place. Firstly, I think $5.95 for a bagel with butter is a ridiculous price point -- that's high for a bagel with cream cheese, which is the same cost -- categorizing butter the same is a mistake. That bagel plus an iced coffee was like $13 ... good lord. Second, the bagel really was really quite bad. It could be the time that I went (11am or so), but the bagel was quite bland, had poor texture and didn't feel fresh despite a toast. I'd compare it to a 2-3 day old bagel texture wise from another bagel shop but way less flavorful - debated throwing it out a few bites in. It could be the lack of gluten in their bagels that threw me off, but if you want a good NY bagel at a normal price point I'd go anywhere else (Ess-a or popup or liberty all close by) On the positive side, staff was nice - hope it's just a bad experience, but won't be trying again. read more

Always yummy and great choices here ! We popped across the street to sit down and got a free live band - bonus ! So good !

The short chubby white man working Christmas morning was very VERY rude. Food was mediocre, probably because when he tossed it at me I lost my appetite. But the tots were delish! read more

For all locations, bagels are good if you are Celiac. Pastries not so great. But the website is never working well so for preorders so if you are relying on their GF products for any particular event, beware! read more

1000/10 they have figured out the GF bagel! We were floored by the delicious GF options and blown away by the flavors. We enjoyed the BEC and Sweet Billy, in addition to the Latkes and so many baked goods. I highly recommend the Donuts and Orange cake. read more

While I don't have a gluten allergy/intolerance, I have a few friends who do and wanted to test this place out for the next time they visit. The shop is conveniently located near a few train lines and seems to be built specifically for takeout since there's no seating and limited space to stand unobtrusively (the staff did a good job of moving the line along quickly so it wasn't too noticeable 6). Not that that stopped me from taking a few bites of the everything bagel with chive cream cheese I ordered before heading back out into the cold. I was surprised at the decently chewy texture of the bagel considering it wasn't made with wheat flour. The real winner of the day, though, was the cinnamon roll slice. Instead of being baked in individual rolls side by side in a shallow pan, the rolls here are baked in a long rectangular loaf pan, iced with a cream cheese frosting, and then cut into thick slices. The cinnamon flavor was excellent and the dough itself was quite moist, especially once it was warmed a little at home. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE... they treat their customers horribly. There was an issue with my order, they refused to make it right and said I would need to basically pay for an entirely new order and call management to see if they would refund me later for the cost of my original order that was incorrect- mind blowing. No thanks- I left and bought a new meal elsewhere read more

I came in on a very cold Monday morning at 8:00AM, it was pretty much empty. Soooo many pastries to decide from so I decided on the brioche donut and cinnamon roll. The donut was absolutely delicious, heavy, and bread-like. The cinnamon roll wasn't bad but kind of hard. I wished they had bigger cups for the drip than 12 oz. Will be returning to try more pastries. read more

Did not enjoy this bagel. A bit hard, even not toasted, and pretty tasteless. Ate half and threw it away. Also pricey.

DO NOT GO HERE This might be THE WORST bagel spot I've ever been to. It's not even a bagel spot How could you have bagel in your name in NYC and serve fast food quality items. All this place is, is just a cute place to look at. Not even eat at. Trust me just go down 1 block and get much better food at the breakfast cart on the corner. This place ruined my mornin. I'm tight read more

We are visiting NYC for the holidays, my wife is gluten-free and she was so excited about Modern Bread and Bagel. They did not disappoint. My wife and I both got breakfast sandwiches on everything bagels and they were delicious. My wife loved all the bakery items she ordered. The staff was very helpful. It is small and nowhere to eat, it is definitely a more of a grab and go place. read more

All their products are amazing! Unfortunately, we stopped there on our way to the airport and bought a lot of goodies to take home. When we got home 6 bagels were missing. We were overjoyed that they decided to send us the missing bagels. I highly recommend! and I will definitely go there when I'm in New York and order from them online. I would have given 5 stars and next time I will check my bag before leaving the store. read more

For both GF and Vegan options, this was a good spot with very kind service! My first day I got the superseed bagel with vegan cream cheese and smoked salmon which was excellent. My iced latte was also great! I went back the second day for the vegan BEC which was...not so good. The brioche bun was nice but the eggs, cheese and "bacon" were basically inedible even though I'm very used to vegan food. Egg needed ANY seasoning, they didn't bother to melt the cheese and the bacon was so hard I had to take it out because literally couldn't bite into it. It also tasted disgusting so would've taken it out anyway. Time to go back to the drawing table on that one...I however did snag a chocolate chip cookie which delivered at least one delicious treat on my way out of the city! read more

I love modern bread and bagel. While we sadly got to this one after the kitchen had closed, I snagged a seasonal pumpkin pop tart with chocolate chips that gave me LIFE!! Real pumpkin inside, a fresh, flaky pastry...it's been decades since I've had a pop tart b/c of gluten so to have a gluten free one that was beyond delicious gave me a childlike sense of joy. I also grabbed to of the chocolate rugelach which I get every time. The staff greeted us with a smile and we'll Absolutely back to try some of the kitchen food. It's such a treat to be able to eat from the whole menu because everything's gluten free! read more

Really good! Enjoyed the pumpkin bread. Would come again and try more options! Yummy.

I can't say enough good things about this place! Their bagels, donuts, and cookies are hands-down the best I've ever had -- and they're all gluten-free and dairy-free. Every bite tastes like the real deal (actually, better than the real deal). I was in New York for a short trip and ended up going back every single day -- that's how amazing everything was. The texture, flavor, and freshness were out of this world. The staff was warm and welcoming, and the vibe made me want to hang out with a coffee and a dozen bagels. If you're gluten-free, dairy-free, or just someone who loves incredible food, this place is a must-visit. Modern Bagel sets a new standard. Absolute perfection. read more

Modern bread and bagel must mean served with no customer service and no toast option. Arrived at 3:15pm and bagels would not be sold hot and toasted. For nyc prices that is a joke. Will not return. It's unfortunate because it's a nice location. read more

Comically underwhelming food and coffee. Their bagel is the worst I've had in recent memory and coffee takes forever as there is one overworked barista making drinks. This is peak corporate slop. Go somewhere else. read more

The bagels and service were sensational! The breakfast burrito another big hit! But I loved my wife's BEC the best! Generous portions and great coffee! Can't wait to order delivery to my office! read more

Where do you buy the most expensive previously frozen day old bagels and mediocre matcha. Well go right to Modern.

The best gluten free babka! Their other pastries are delicious as well but the babka will always be my favorite!

The fact that this place only has 2.5 stars is insane to me... I went today and was THRILLED. Everything in the store is gluten free. We tried the everything bagel, cinnamon raisin bagel, glazed donut, and cinnamon bun. All delicious!!!!!! No it's not a normal New York bagel... it's gluten free. But for gluten free? DANG it's good. This place deserves more hype. read more

Absolute trash bagels. Hard as a rock and got my bagel type wrong. Don't go here for bagels

The bagels are small and dry. They are not doughy - not a New York bagel. They have a generous amount of butter on the bagel but it couldn't fix the bagel itself. The service was fine, but very slow. Only one cashier was working even though there were many behind the desk? The coffee machine seems to be down a lot and the drinks are very small for high prices. The store itself is nice, small and very hot, but nice enough! read more
