Moonrise Bagels has become my favorite bagel spot lately. I've tried their stuffed bagels from their regular menu and specials, and they somehow keep coming up with such creative combos! They just launched another super creative collab with Peter Som, inspired by his cookbook Family Style, which features recipes from his Chinese American upbringing. Service is also very fast as my bagels are always ready in 5 minutes. Everyone there is so sweet. It feels like going to a neighborhood shop where everyone knows you by name. Shoutout to Andrea! ＊Hoisin Honey Chicken Stuffed Bagel $13 Inspired by Peter Som's hoisin honey roast chicken recipe, this has the chicken stuffed right into the center and comes with ginger scallion aioli on the side. The honey and hoisin seasoning gave similar vibes to a Canto roast meat honey glaze. The bagel itself was already so flavorful with the furikake sprinkled on the crust. The ginger scallion dip was like blending 薑蓉 (the scallion ginger sauce that comes with cantonese roasted meat) into a creamy dip. I wanted to dunk the entire bagel straight into the sauce. Crunchy on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and even the chicken stayed super tender and juicy. There was also A LOT of chicken in there. read more

Loaded Bagels! Beware one of these bagels can definitely wreck your summer waistline! LOL. To be honest it does seem as if the inside of the bagel has been scooped some to allow for it to be stuffed so some carbs are taken away. These bagels are definitely delicious with something for every taste bud. There are many varieties of bagels each stuffed with egg, protein and cheesy goodness in each one. I've had several protein varieties including sausage and bacon, sausage being my favorite. My only deduction has to be the fact that these bagels are frozen and flash heated when ordered. There's no option to "have it your way" which may be by design. I'd rate it higher if there was an option without cheese. There are very limited options to eat on site, two tables and a sitting counter, all told probably seating for 6-7 folks inside. The folks behind the counter are friendly. read more

I came here on a weekend morning. There was a line but I only waited 8 minutes total to get my food. They had a lot of workers and kept things moving. The AC is nowhere near strong enough in here for the summer. People both before and after me on line commented on the heat in the store. There are 2 seats inside and 2 seats outside. The bagels come out extremely hot. I could not pick up the bagel without burning my hands for at least 5 minutes after I was given it. It is nice, and it's a good size. They had the items I wanted but they told two other people on line they did not have the items they wanted that day. It's a good bagel and a fun concept, and the workers are working hard, but it's still not an overall great customer experience. read more

Cute shop and a yummy stop with stuffed bagels in the village. They have a couple small tables inside and some outside dining tables too. You can choose what is put inside and then what type of bagel you want. Very good breakfast or lunch on the go. read more

Moonrise Bagels - Stuffed egg and cheese bagel. - Bagels Near Me - New York, New York

SO GOOD. Might be my all time favorite bagel in NYC. The eggs were so fluffy on the inside and the bagel was perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The only thing I wish is that you could customize them a little more. I wanted to add vegetarian sausage to one with real egg & cheese, but the beyond sausage was only offered in the fully vegan option which was a bummer. We went around 1 on a Friday and there was so line. Our bagels only took about 5-10 minutes to come out. Can't wait to go back!!! read more

I have been wanting to try Moonrise Bagels since they opened. Stopped by on a Monday morning when they were not busy. I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese everything bagel and bottle of water. I have to say this didn't wow me. The filling was fine except that I didn't like how the bacon was chopped up into bits. The bagel dough was the issue for me. I didn't find it chewy and bagel like. It was just dough. I would give it another try if nearby but I'm probably not going out of my way when there are so many good bagels in NYC. read more

Walked in on a Saturday morning before noon and was delightfully surprised there was no line. It's a small shop with 2 small two-person tables inside and 2 small two-person tables outside. The service is friendly and they do provide plastic knifes if you ask for people that want to split their bagels with friends. The bagels themselves were disappointing, and all 3 bagels we had were surprisingly dry. The bacon, egg and cheese had a lot of bacon, but there was no cheese to be found. The pastrami was dry. I would have liked the pastrami and sauerkraut to be a bit more mixed together. The pastrami ended up on the inner ring and the sauerkraut on the outer ring of the bagel. The buffalo chicken stuffed was the biggest disappointment. The bagel really didn't have much buffalo flavor or detectable sauce. I think the issue baking a fried cutlet inside a bagel is that the bagel already provides the bread and the additional breading just soaks up all the sauce and the breading loses it's crispiness. The ranch sauce was an additional cost, but was really good and necessary to eat the bagel. read more

Finally was in the area to try Moonrise Bagels and I definitely enjoyed every bite of it. The space is a bit small with minimal seating indoor and outdoor. The vibes inside were so fun! We were dancing while in line, waiting for our order, and when we were eating. I ordered the egg and cheese stuffed bagel with a dipping sauce on the side which is extra. The sauce complimented the bagel well and they gave a pretty good portion of it too. The bagel was pretty pricey; I think after tip I spent about $15. I love the idea of a stuffed bagel as it is unique and think it's something to say you've tried before. If you just want to pick up and go, I definitely suggest ordering for pickup. They also sell frozen bagels to reheat at home and beverages. read more

When in New York City, you have to get a bagel! But this bagel? Unique! Have you ever had a stuffed bagel before? Absolutely delightful! The shop was bright and clean, and we were welcomed as soon as we entered the shop. Our biggest problem was deciding what to order... Everything looked and smelled incredible! We ended up getting a bacon and an egg as well as a pastrami. They both came out really fast and were instantly devoured! If you're in NYC don't sleep on this place! read more

I love when Influencers actually know what they're talking about so miss matcha cierra miller posted her collab with MoonRise bagel for a Salted honey Ginger cream Matcha I said let me find out, I'll admit I was skeptical at first about that flavor pairing but let me tell you! After that first sip... I ran to my insta stories and said "GIRL" it was delicious all these flavors came together beautifully the kiss of ginger the richness from the honey the matcha bringing it all together , if you're a matcha fan and in nyc , then this is a must! Also the moonrise staff is amazing they were helpful hospitable and make a great beverage what more could you need? Stop by this cute and cozy cafe after or before your next west village day out and come get this before it's gone! here thru the month! read more

Stopped in around 11 on a Saturday and there was no line and still plenty of bagels. I wanted to try some of the specialty ones I've seen on Instagram, but those didn't seem to be on offer when I visited. That being said, you can't go wrong with a bacon, egg and cheese! I love the stuffed bagel concept and it works really well - you get a good ratio of all the toppings and flavors across the bagel and nothing falls out which is a win when you're eating on the go. There's only two small table tops outside, which were occupied, but fortunately Washington Square Park is right around the corner and a great spot to bring a bagel. Also, this has no impact on the quality of the food, of course, but I really love their branding! It carries through really well both in the storefront and the packaging. read more

Moonrise Bagels 58 W. 8th. St. New York, NY 10011 Viral Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Bagel This chain location has gone viral on social media because they sell bagels stuffed with a specific filling. On a positive note, the bagel was hot and doughy. It was served in a timely manner. But, I honestly was not impressed with the inside filling. Some of the buffalo chicken chunks weren't fully cooked and it tasted as if it was in the fridge. There was also an up charge for a dipping sauce, which is unfair because this bagel already costs $11. If you decide to explore this location, I would recommend placing the order to go because seating is limited to a ledge, 2 indoor tables and an outdoor table. While stuffed bagels are a unique concept, I feel it was highly priced and overrated. #moonrisebagels #stuffedbagels #buffalochickenstuffedbagel #viralstuffedbagels read more

I have no idea how they stuff the bagel but the bagel itself and the filling was perfect. And it's pretty hefty too. It's kind of hard to eat and is messy which is a minus. The spicy sauce wasn't my favorite. I got the egg and cheese. Eggs were fluffy and good cheese flavor. Service was so nice. read more

Too much bacon in the bacon egg and cheese. But will say it's cool how everything stays in the bread so well. A big pro for sandwich fans. Would come back to try the pizza read more

Ambiance (2/5): There were only 2 tables that can fit 2 each and then a standing sliver to stand against the wall for 3 people to stand. No bathroom. Service (5/5): The bagels came out extremely fast. Ran out of plastic knives to cut the bagels. Food (3/5): There was the novelty of having a stuffed bagel to give this place a try. I really enjoyed the bagel itself, which was dense, chewy, also soft. The downfall was the stuffing which was wildly unevenly stuffed. I got bites of just bacon, tiny bits of egg, then only egg, then nothing... For $11, you can definitely get a normal breakfast bagel with much more stuffing to make it worth. Fun to try though! read more

I didn't know what to expect. But the bagels live up to the hype! The service was really quick. The surfer was friendly and explaining all the bagel options. I really like the layout and design of the environment. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese in an onion bagel. Since everything is cooked on the inside, everything tasted juicier than a regular bagel. I highly recommend it and will be coming back. read more

After trying Moonrise Bagels at Bagel Fest last year and then seeing them featured on an ABC News - Neighborhood Eats segment, I made it my mission to get some of those stuffed bagels. Their newly opened store is conveniently located in the Village on W 8th St, east of 6th Ave, easily accessible from the A,B,C,D,E & F trains. When I arrive around 11am, I see that tons of people also saw it on the news because there is a line of about 20 people on the sidewalk and about a dozen inside waiting to order or pick-up. The gentleman ahead of me kindly shared his menu with me, so I could figure out what to order. The line moved pretty fast as people came out with their hauls. There is a simple procedure hung above the register: 1) Choose your stuff (BEC, SEC, VSEC, PatRueb, BuffChick or Pizza) 2) Choose your seeds (plain, everything, sesame, poppy or onion) 3) Choose your sauce (house moonie, ranch, chili aioli) +$1 ea or +$2 for all 3 4) Get stuffed I was excited when I got to the front, but was dejected that they had sold out of the 2 popular flavors, Pastrami Reuben and Cheese Pizza. So I ended up with a Bacon, Egg & Cheese (Everything), a Sausage, Egg & Cheese (Sesame) & a Buffalo Chicken (Onion). Each stuffed bagel is individually clamshell boxed. Even with walking in the cold back to the office, the bagels were still warm and the cheese was still gooey. They tasted just like a sandwich that was mashed together, which is novel, but I think I'd rather have them as a traditional sandwich instead. I didn't get any of the dipping sauces, so that might have enhanced the experience. Their dough is mixed and rolled up in Poughkeepsie, trucked down to the Village in the wee hours of the night (hence their name) and boiled & baked on the premises. That good ol' NYC tap water is what makes NYC bagels the best. Yes, they are pricey ($11/bagel). Yes, there will be a line (but it moves fast). Yes, they are unique, gimmicky & delicious, so they're worth a try. Yes, get there early because once they sell out, you'll have to come back the next day. But, there is nothing like a warm NYC bagel in the morning and even better when it's stuffed with tasty stuff. read more

Read about Moonrise Bagels opening in December with their stuffed bagels. As a native New Yorker, weaned on echt Kosher bagels and Kossar's bialys, wanted to try it out on my next daytime trip downtown. Noted they closed early based on whether they were sold out, however arrived at around 10:30 but still had a short, slow line that extended outdoors - it's a small storefront with hardly any seating. Have to say, whatever hype they stirred attracted some obnoxious, IG/Tiktok obsessed, FOMO tourists that dissuade us locals and kills the pleasure of being a customer - however, I still persisted figuring at even at that off-hour the line would be the shortest. My overall reco is absolutely NOPE, not worth it... go elsewhere! Moonrise Bagels stuffed concoction is a bloated, overpriced gimmick that, if you consider yourself a foodie and/or value your money, won't find deliver anything worthwhile! My experience - Ordered the $12 Pastrami Reuben, $9 Cheese Pizza (red sauce, mozzarella, asiago, provolone, basil, oregano), and daily special $9 Eggplant Parm Stuffed Bagels. (Note - You can choose which type of bagel you want stuffed, e.g., Everything.) What you (like me) will notice first - being stuffed means there is not much room for the filling. In fact, the Pizza bagel was barely filled! (See pic - a real, rip-off!) While best of the three was the Reuben, it was nothing to write home about or post online (except to complain). The other two were just ridiculously priced. Considering that Pizza Stuffed Bagel cost so much, you'll have much more to enjoy with two slices at fantastic West Village pizzeria's like Joe's! My reco to Moonrise Bagels - Lower your prices in line with what you're giving your customers before further word gets out that your original product is out of synch with what your asking people to pay. Hard to believe that locals will repeat a visit given your competition. You may want to also have product available late at night when hungry drunk people are heading home from nearby bars and not paying attention to what they're putting on their credit card. read more

I visited because of a video I saw on social media. Online it looked good, in person... a little underwhelming. I don't know why I tried this. I don't like bagel sandwiches unless it has cream cheese and mostly when the bagel itself is also sourdough bagels. I got the everything bagel stuffed with egg and cheese. It wasn't that great. Fun concept, and I guess it does keep the sandwich together if the insides are stuffed inside the bagel. I guess I'm more of a hero sandwich person. A bagel just feels like too much bread for a sandwich. read more

Got a bacon, egg and cheese bagel. I asked for no cheese but they said they were already made. They also asked me if I wanted seeds, so I went with Sesame. The bagel is massive, hot and fresh and was ready pretty quickly. Moonrise is extremely tiny and only has 2 small tables near the window. So I recommend taking your bagel to go. I'll definitely come back to try more of their bagels! read more

Such a cool concept! Hot fresh stuffed bagels !!! We got the last egg and cheese everything bagel and it was pipping hot and DELICIOUS! The Mooney sauce to dip it in was delish too.

Not much seating just by the window and two small outdoor tables. 1000/10 would come again! read more

The store is so cute, we loved the decor although there was minimal seating. We tried three bagels. We really enjoyed the classic bacon, egg, and cheese and the sausage, egg, and cheese. The Reuben was also good, although a little dryer. Loved the creativity of these bagels, but I forgot to try the sauces. Also grabbed the special strawberry shortcake latte. The strawberry was subtle, but still a nice iced latte. read more

Moonrise Bagels is one of the most exciting new food spots to hit Manhattan. It's amazing to see the journey from a small, creative operation to a modern concept in NYC and they've done it without losing what makes it special. These aren't your average bagels. The stuffed bagels are full meals on their own, packed with bold, comforting flavors you'd normally expect from a late-night cart or diner, all wrapped inside perfectly chewy, hand-rolled dough. Every bite feels intentional, indulgent, and satisfying. The space feels fresh and welcoming, the service is fast, and the quality is consistent. This is how you bring a unique idea to the city and execute it right. If you're in Manhattan, this spot is absolutely worth the visit just get there early because they sell out fast. read more

I had a good time trying Moonrise Bagels! It was a new concept, but we did have to wait 45 min in line before ordering! The shop is extremely tiny with limited seating, but service overall is kind and swift. I got my bagel after 5 minutes! We stood by a corner of the shop and ate our bagels. I got a sausage egg and cheese on an onion bagel. The filling for me was good! Evenly distributed. The bagel was also fresh and very hot. I wouldn't get the onion bagel next time though, it was too strong. My friend got a bacon egg and cheese, and unfortunately his stuffing was all to one side. We also tried the pastrami, and that was very solid too. read more

I stopped by after seeing these bagels online, and they looked so good that I had to try them. The spot itself is pretty small, mainly a pickup counter with just two small seats by the door. I came around 11am on a Sunday. It wasn't too crowded at first, but while I was there, a line quickly started forming outside and the inside got pretty packed. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel, and it was really good. Fair warning: the bagel comes out extremely hot. Be careful when taking it out of the box because it took a while to cool down. I also ordered the three sauces for $2. All of them were tasty on their own, but the chili sauce was my favorite, and it paired perfectly with the bacon, egg, and cheese. The bagel itself isn't a typical NY bagel that's crispy on the outside, soft in the inner. This bagel is all around chewy and soft, which is good, but doesn't have texture. The everything seasoning was good and proportioned well. The only small downside was that the eggs were a bit overdone. It didn't make a huge difference because all the other flavors came together nicely, but I think the heat may have dried them out a bit. Overall though, this is definitely a big, filling meal, so make sure you come hungry! read more

Waited in a brief line on a cold Sunday morning. Staff was super welcoming and energetic! There is minimal standing room and two small tables so it gets crowded. Tried the reuben ($12) and the BEC ($11). They recommended getting a sauce ($1) so we tried the mooney but would 100% get a different sauce another time; it did not taste good w bagels. Was a bit underwhelmed overall. I'm used to overwhelming flavor and textures and rich cream cheese with bagel sandwiches and this fell flat for all three. Love this concept and think the price is very fair especially in west village! Think the pizza bagel and maybe chili sauce would probably taste better but not sure that I would return to wait in line again to try it. read more

I've been to Moonrise Bagels twice now - after a disappointing first visit, I'm glad I gave them another chance! First visit - Buffalo chicken in a plain bagel with the house sauce (3/5). Definitely a pass, it was a bit dry, lacking flavor, and the house sauce wasn't my favorite. Second visit - sausage egg and cheese in an everything bagel, which was fantastic (5/5)!! Perfect texture, not too bready, and the Calabrian chili aioli is a must-try. Staff were friendly and fairly quick both times I visited and there was no line in the morning ~9am. Interior is super small with only 2 tables, plan to take it to go. read more

As others have mentioned, you're paying an arm and a leg for the New York novelty aspect of it-kind of odd that they deem themselves the "original stuffed bagel" would need the substantiation to prove it forreal. Because the shop is quite small (I wouldn't credit to its "popularity"), we had to wait in a line for a few minutes before being ushered in. At least in line, we were given a menu to look through-the menu is quite condensed so it's pretty easy to figure out what you do / don't want. We ordered: 1x Buffalo Chicken, Everything bagel 1x 100% Vegan, Everything bagel The bagel quality is nothing to write home about, the eggs are really overcooked since the bagel is premade. Because everything is premade, the distribution of ingredients are inconsistent and I got more egg / cheese vs. vegan meat, so it felt like I was eating an egg / cheese bagel. Seating is limited to tight, so it's truly common courtesy to eat and then go your way out however somehow we sat next to a group of three who ate and then eventually sat around using their phone. I mean it's a New Yorker thing, but you need to read the room-if you wanna use your phone post meal go to the library or elsewhere where space isn't a luxury. I would either wait for the hype of this place to die down, or bear waiting in line one time for the one time. Would still prefer Apollo or Pop Up over this though... Also three sauces for $2, that's just odd. The bagels themselves are quite dry so either bring your own sauces or bring them home to enjoy with your own sauces. read more

This new bagel spot is already a standout! They're known for their spectacular stuffed bagels and when I say stuffed, I mean literally packed with fillings. So many delicious options to choose from. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese, and the lady at the counter told me it would be about a 20-minute wait since it's their most popular item, especially in the mornings. Honestly, totally worth it. I waited, and let me tell you, that bagel was absolutely delicious. The shop itself is on the smaller side, so it can get crowded quickly, but the team does an amazing job keeping things moving and taking care of everyone. Friendly, efficient, and clearly proud of what they serve. Definitely check this place out, it's going to become a local favorite fast! read more

Swung by this morning for their opening day - unfortunately came a bit late and the vegan sausage egg and cheese was the only option left. I've never had a stuffed bagel before, but I definitely get the hype - warm, chewy, delicious, all neatly wrapped up. Like I said, the vegan option was the only one left when I came and I probably wouldn't get it again, but I enjoyed it as far as vegan sandwiches go! There was a good amount of filling and there was a nice mix of each in every bite. It's a small space but there's a few seats inside, and the staff is super friendly and helpful.

Delicious and such a unique concept. You come to NY and can find a great bagel on almost every block. This concept takes a tasty bagel to a whole different level. I love a bacon, egg, and cheese so that was my natural choice. It was piping hot when I got it, so took a few minutes to let it cool. But let me tell you, I almost burned my fingers because I was so anxious to take a bite! Once it cooled just enough, I dug right in. Every bite was so delicious from the filling to the bagel itself. It is pretty large so could be good to split if you aren't super hungry - but trust me once you take one bite, you won't want to share. I have already recommended this place to friends and will be back on my next trip to NYC! read more

Really unique addition to NYC's bagel scene. I got the pizza stuffed bagel in everything and plain bagel, no sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by how non overwhelming the bagel was. It had the taste of a pizza slice without the sluggish, oily aftertaste of one while also preserving the essence of a bagel. The bagel itself was really soft also, with the right amount of crisp as if you're eating a pizza crust. Would definitely come back to try their other flavors.

It's flabbergasting how Americans love their meat in the morning--pastrami, Philly cheesesteak, bacon, and the like. No wonder they have so many health issues.

I wonder if the trend will stick once the viral clips and long lines fade away. Mediocre at best . read more
