Delicious! My everything bagel with nova lox and cream cheese was perfection. I subbed lettuce for the onions. Everything tasted very fresh. The employees were very friendly and efficient. I'll be back when I'm craving some salmon and cream cheese. read more

Finally found a legit place for good bagels with NOVA lox and cream cheese ... you get what you pay for here and the bagel sandwiches are loaded with deliciousness Definitely going to try their other bagel sandwiches the next time I return read more

Really impressed with their bagels! My bf and I found our bagel spot :) Thank you for the Yelp reviews online that helped us find this gem! The bagel was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Def a 5 star taste wise. I'm giving it a 4 because of its small size! It seems to be on a small side for the price. read more

Awesome bagels! Love the sandwiches and bagels to go with different spreads! My go to is the pastrami, egg and Swiss on the everything egg bagel! read more

One of my husband & my favorite things to do when visiting NY is to find great bagel shops. We've waited in long lines and stood in the rain for great bagels. We are so happy to have found this authentic NY bagel shop in Cary! We ordered the Nova Lox, cream cheese bagel with tomato, onions and capers with the addition of an egg. It was fantastic! We also ordered the pastrami, egg, and cheese bagel. It was ok but not great. We called in our order and picked up our bagels minutes later. Everyone working there was friendly and were wearing masks. This was a great find!! read more

Great bagels! Fast service! Definitely has the nyc bagel taste! I'm a NYorker and can vouch!

No where near enough cream cheese on a 1/2 stale everything.. overpriced for mediocre

The good: They were busy and working really hard and took care of customers quickly. A good amount of choices for bagel and cream cheese flavors. If you are someone who hates when places skimp on the cream cheese, they've got you covered. Prices are fine. The less good: Doing a DoorDash pickup was not as easy as I hoped. When I went in to grab it there was no indication as to where the pickup might be, so I waited a long time and would have been longer had I not spoken up. A small sign would make all the difference. Bagel shops often seem to not do as well with sweet bagels compared to savory. My French toast bagel tasted entirely like onions thanks to the knife used to slice all the bagels. My blueberry bagel did not have much flavor at all - I think I was expecting blueberry throughout the bagel, rather than a couple berries total. The bagels were kind of flat. I do love cream cheese but I had to scrape off a ton of it to be able to taste the bagel. In summary, underwhelmed. It's far from my house so I won't come again. If I'm gonna drive 30 minutes out of my way for breakfast, I'll just go to NC Jelly Donut, honestly. read more

I miss home -- you can't find a good BECSPK on a roll in the triangle. I'm skeptical of anywhere that boasts their "New York Style" anything, but especially bagel shops. They all serve their egg sandwiches on bagels which are inferior for egg sandwiches bc they're too hard OR on croissants which fall apart and are way too greasy OR biscuits and let's be honest here okay I know it's the south but biscuits are dry af and it's so unpleasant. We all know a BECSPK belongs on a Kaiser roll -- a difficult find in the triangle, indeed. It's the water, or so they say. Enter NYC Bagels of Cary, NC. They prove that it is not the water, but pure incompetence and lack of skill on the part of their competition (which, clearly based on this review, I consider there to be none). That is where you go. I accidentally found this place whilst heading to the mountains with my dead best friend and it has been the go to for Sunday breakfast on my days off regularly since. I spend $40 every single time I walk through the door. I regret absolutely nothing. I have memories here. I find a small comfort in closing my eyes and biting my breakfast sandwich sipping my Arizona peach tea in my car and imagining I'm stuck in traffic on the LIE. Brings me right back. Love y'all. Keep it up, you'll forever have my support. Thank you for bringing a little piece of home here. read more

Grabbed a bagel and iced coffee to-go from NYC Bagel and was happily surprised. The Nova Lox bagel ($9) was delish, and I got a huge iced coffee for like $4 to go with it. The customer service was laid back and friendly, and I was in and out of there within 5 or so minutes. I was particularly fond of the llama photo on the wall . For $15 it was a super filling / great lunch on the go and I'll definitely be back. read more

NYC Bagels - Lox on everything bagel....yum yum yum - Bagels Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

The bagel itself was delicious but the staff was extremely rude and unhelpful. I'm pregnant and from out of town so was searching for something from my hotel room on door dash before heading back home (not from Cary, and have never been to this bagel shop) The whole concept of DoorDash pickup, and stated across their entire website is "order ahead and skip the line". If you don't want people assuming they can skip the line for their order that's paid for and ready, don't even offer pickup. Or make a sign that tells people they need to wait in line. Not only did I get laughed at when I asked if the brown paper bag up front was for doordash (it was their make shift trash bag for straws and such), I was also rudely told in front of the whole shop that "next time I need to wait in line like everyone else, DoorDash or not" to which I apologized and said I didn't know, I wasn't from here and it was my first time there. Listen, I'm not a Karen. I didn't come in with a sense of entitlement and demand my bagel. I quietly asked my questions and waited patiently to the side with other waiting customers. Blame it on the pregnancy hormones, but I left incredibly embarrassed while everyone stared at me. It takes way less energy to be a kind person than it did to try to teach someone who just wanted to support your business a lesson. read more

The food and vibe was good. I ordered ahead and was able to get in and out with no issues so service was also good. I'm a bagel fan but I didn't really like the bagel with lox spread. Wish there was more salmon in it. There was more cream cheese and while I don't mind a lot of cream cheese, I wish it was balanced with an equal amount of lox. read more

We decided to get a couple of bagel breakfast sandwiches and coffees to go before our journey up North to pick up our kids, and we knew there was a 'new place' across the street. The bagels are some of the BEST in Cary. There's another NY themed place on the other side of town that has been our local favorite for the past decade, but NYC Bagels has at least met, if not exceeded them on the bagel quality. Now, they don't have other pastries, or deli sandwiches, but the sausage, egg, and cheese on an Everything was a top 3 lifetime item. My wife told me at least 3 times on the drive up, 'damn that was a good bagel' and 'crap, now we are going to gain 10 lbs.' The coffee was good too! read more

I had to throw away my food. The cooks don't understand the importance of following the ready-to-eat food process. They used bare hands instead of gloves when putting the sandwich together. This is how germs are transferred. read more

I had an everything bagel with cream cheese and bacon. Good but the everything bagel didn't have that hit of salt that makes them great.

Little bit rough, but can these folks are from up north. Ordered Everything Bagel toasted with Cream Cheese (which came back not toasted) sent it back and got attitude. Customer service is not their specialty. The bagels are very good quality and the coffee was good as well. May have just caught them on a bad service day. Would buy a dozen bagels from them without a second thought if I could just order on line, pay and pick up. read more

I happened to be in the area and thought I'd stop in for a snack. First impression: clean but sterile feeling. Somewhere I'd want to eat but not stay a while. They have a nice variety of bagels and cream cheeses. I noticed the chocolate chip cram cheese and asked for a taste. The young man behind the register obliged. It was good, but not something I'd want to put on a bagel. I ordered a sesame seed bagel toasted with vegetable cream cheese. Delicious...but I thought it was odd that a $1.39 bagel ended up costing almost $4. That's some expensive cream cheese! I noticed another customer ordered an omelet and it smelled delicious! read more

I went here around 10:00am on a Sunday and a line quickly formed behind me that reached the entrance. It's a smaller restaurant and seating is somewhat limited with 6 two-seat tables inside and a couple of outdoor tables. Placing orders was a bit slow but I attribute that to the place just having opened and dealing with the morning rush. I ordered an Everything bagel sausage egg and cheese sandwich and it was delicious! The bagel was nicely toasted, the egg was fried well done, and the sausage and cheese tasted great. It's a filling breakfast priced at $4.99 (+ tax), which is fair in terms of the size of the sandwich. Overall, I'm thrilled to have a quality bagel shop nearby that's open 7-days a week. read more

I have been here few times and the Breakfast sandwiches are the best! Staff is very friendly

Ordered online: Toasted bagels with cream cheese, but got cold bagels with cream cheese. Guess they don't give attention to online orders.

Very average bagel. Was super excited to try because the photos made the bagels look so good. But the bagels taste like average grocery store bagels. I would not go back. read more

Probably the worst bagels I've ever had. I'm from Long Island and this place should not have nyc in the name.

I came here to write a review that this place is legit. What I wanted to write, simply, was "legit". But there is an 85 character minimum. And now I can finally leave my review, for NYC bagels; legit. read more

I come here a lot as the bagels are okay and the bagel sandwiches decent. Ordering ahead is pointless as they make you wait in line even if the order is ready. read more

Best Bagel place I've had in Raleigh/Cary. I've tried a lot but this place does it best. Definitely check it out!

Closest spot that made me feel like I was back in Jersey. Everything is fresh and warm and all the food is just crisp like autumn air.

I really like this little bagel shop! I've only had their blueberry so far - I liked it so much I didn't want to choose a different one which is out of character for me. My husband has had a French toast bagel, a cinnamon sugar one (I think), and a breakfast sandwich on Asiago and the breakfast sandwich was his absolute favorite, but he liked the bagels, too. I love popping in before work to grab a tasty treat! read more

Decided today would be my 'cheat day' and opted for a carb heavy breakfast. I had heard that a bagel joint opened in the Harris T shopping center a bit ago and finally opted to try it out. Called an order in ahead of time (knew if I didn't I'd likely over eat)! Super professional on the phone - when I entered the store, it was spotless and the smell...OMG the smell was amazing. I went with my usual Everything Bagel Toasted with Ham, Egg and Cheese. It was perfect, no complaints and will definitely pop back in for lunch one day. read more

Authentic northern bagels along with the people to make them from Long Island, NY. Great sides of desserts and muffins also.

What a great addition to the neighborhood. I just happened on it one morning and so glad that I did. So much better than any chain bagel shop hands down. Lots of choices for bagel flavors and many different kinds of cream cheese. They also offer sandwiches if that's what you are going for. The employees are always nice and quickly get your order ready to you to start the day. So happy this is here as it has been needed for years. read more

NYC Bagels - Egg and cheese and jalapeño on a plain bagel. - Bagels Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

Cleanliness = 5/5 Customer Service = 5/5 Bagels = 1/5 Being from Brooklyn, I was hoping to find good bagels around Raleigh. As much as I wanted to like this place, unfortunately they're not the real deal. Real NYC bagels are boiled, then baked. It's a long process but ends up with a crusty exterior and chewy interior. The bagels here taste like they're only baked, which is a crucial mistake and you end up with "regular ol' bread in the shape of a bagel." Here's the science to backup what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/MrjLz207SzY read more

Thought the bagels were good. Definitely not stale, perhaps a little softer than I'd prefer. Would love it if they had an online pick up area to avoid waiting in the order line to pick up food. Other than that, a very solid and affordable morning bagel place! read more
