    Sesame with jalapeño cream cheese
    Ritvi S.

    Service was pretty quick and a good amount of seating inside. Bagel was on the tougher side and had to use my teeth to pull. Cream cheese hit so hard

    Pretty good bagel spot. Not the best place ever but the bagels themselves are pretty good. Shop is also cool and the prices are pretty reasonable. The special of the day salmon was not my favorite as I found the texture to be off. Should've just stuck with my favorite classic lox. Anyways if in the area I would get it.

    I love Murray's ever since my first time in New York years ago. They're consistent, fast, good people that get your bagels right. I got the whole Megillah and they stuff it to the brim. It's really two bagels in one. I think I would have liked a saltier cream cheese spread to add a little more flavor but loved all the veggies. My friend got a breakfast bagel and loved it as well. Happy to come back here for a great bagel.

    Great bagel place in Chelsea, the lox avo and egg on everything bagels combo was so good and filling. The ingredients are fresh and the bagel was toasted just right. Service was quick and friendly. There's ample seating spaces and classic nyc deli ambience we got seats right away even on busy Sat morning. Def recommend!

    Iced coffee and BECA

    The space here is really cute and spacious, which was a nice surprise in the middle of the city. It's definitely a place you can sit and relax for a bit. Unfortunately, the staff didn't add much to the experience. Even though it wasn't busy, they were pretty transactional and not especially welcoming. I wasn't expecting over-the-top friendliness, but it still felt a little cold. The menu is massive, which honestly felt more overwhelming than exciting. It took a while to sort through all the options, though I appreciated that they had a little "popular picks" section first time visitors (or just anyone who gets overwhelmed by too many options). I ended up ordering the BECA, which was huge and looked great, but it didn't quite deliver on flavor. The avocado kind of took over the whole thing, but weirdly, it didn't have much taste itself. It just muted the other ingredients instead of adding to them. The iced coffee, on the other hand, was genuinely great. It was strong, smooth, and refreshing. Overall, not bad, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit again. It gets the job done, but I was expecting a little more across the board.

    Had seafood soup and chicken bagel sandwich. Was just average for lunch. The soup was the highlight.

    solid new york bagel! especially if you like em chewy. nice crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. service is fast. a couple small tables if you want to eat inside.

    The BECA

    Murray bagels is very good! The bagels were great and the sandwich combinations we had were also good! I had the BECA and it was super good. My dad got an omelette bagel and it wasn't quite as good unfortunately.

    I got a bacon egg and cheese poppyseed bagel. It was good but the bagel felt too thick. The price of the bagel was about $8. It is very pricey. The staff was friendly and the order came out fairly quick 5-10 min. The plave has some seating for about 10-12 people and was a bit clean but people do leave a little mess and doesn't seem to be cleaned up fast enough.

    This customized bagel was so good and so fresh. We didn't have to wait in line for that long on this freezing day. It was super nice to have this yummy bagel as breakfast . There are tables to sit in and enjoy your meal. Great customer service!

    Murray's is open early, has great customer service and delicious bagels. Lots of toppings for bagels and a nice place to sit and eat breakfast. Not expensive and I hope to return.

    One of the best bagel spots in the city. Their bagels and smears are great but don't miss out on their lunch sandwiches either. They carry brownies from Fat Witch Bakery which are a great treat. Seating is limited and it's often busy so prepare to take your order to go.

FOOD: We ordered a bag of 3 bagels-- everything, poppy seed & salt. The bagels were cute, medium sized and served warm/hot. We chose the scallion cream cheese which came in a lil container. Apparently the bagels are not made in the traditional manner, but they were still delicious with great texture and taste. We also ordered the tea (ok) and strawberry lemonade (yum). We enjoyed our bagels on the little countertop area outside. OVERALL: Definitely recommend! A different bagel experience than some other places (as in, those places where you are served bagels topped with cream cheese and other things) but we enjoyed the simplicity of the bagels and controlling the amount of cream cheese.

Anyways, the girls had bookmarked another bagel establishment but the line was hella long like they were giving away Knicks gear for free. Ironically another "bagel shop" search on Yelp showed PopUp Bagels was like three doors down lol. No line! That in itself was making me question but there is a PopUp in San Diego that my daughter swears by. PopUp advertised itself as "Not Famous, but known." Whether or not this bagel is better than the one store three doors up is something I cannot attest to. However I can say THIS WAS A DANG GOOD BAGEL! And it was freshly made! How do I know? It literally burned my fingers when I ripped it open! The pain was worth it. Outside, a slightly crisp texture generously coated with "Everything". Inside was a dense and chewy dough that was pliable but able to withstand the dipping and shmearing of cream cheese (which was smooth). Best I have ever had for sure but then again my most common bagel experience is the place named after a scientist where tons of bagels are sitting in bins for who knows how long. So why wasn't this a 5-star experience? One, I only ate one thing. Two, sevice and setting are "just there". Considering it wasn't busy I would expect a bit more of a welcome. To eat you're bagel you can full on just leave, sit at the three stools inside where it is super hot (bc hey they actually cook), or three stand outside. There is a little, I'll say "patio", where you can stand, eat, and true story, watch two people argue about who gets to sort through the recyclables from the neighborhood eateries. Snack and a show???? I just stood near the door and enjoyed my bagel.
