Only reason I give four stars is the price. It is a little more expensive than some of the other bagels in the area. A bacon egg and cheese cost me over $10 today. It's very good but the price point is a little high.

I went to NY Deli and was honestly flabbergasted by the lack of assistance I received just trying…read moreto place an order. First, the menu is written on the wall, but it looks like it may have been written years ago because much of it is nearly illegible--as the picture I included shows. When I asked the gentleman taking my order what the menu said and what some of the options were, he seemed almost as unaware as I was. Instead of helping me understand the menu or offering a few popular choices at different price points, he began making higher-priced suggestions that really weren't very helpful. At that point, I finally just asked for an egg and cheese sandwich because I figured that was something simple and safe to try. And I'm glad I did! The egg and cheese was actually very good, and honestly, that is the only reason I didn't give NY Deli a lower rating. The food showed me that there may be a lot of potential here--the ordering experience just needs some serious attention. Please consider rewriting the menu on the wall so customers can actually read it, providing paper menus, making sure staff are familiar with the menu and can offer helpful recommendations, or preferably a combination of all three. Good food shouldn't be this difficult to order. Make the experience as good as the sandwich was, and I'd be much more inclined to come back.

Would recommend getting there early or trying to place an online order!

The space is spacious and inviting, with plenty of freshly baked bread, pastries, and other tempting goodies on display. We ordered two items: Poulet au Fromage ($16.90) -- Focaccia loaded with herb-roasted chicken, cheddar cheese, Applewood bacon, tomato, and herb mayo. This sandwich was plentiful, flavorful, and seriously satisfying. Every bite was packed with delicious ingredients! Chocolate Almond Croissant ($6.31) -- Belgian chocolate and almond fondant wrapped inside a wonderfully flaky croissant and topped with roasted almonds. This was an absolute treat. The Chocolate Almond Croissant is simply to die for! While enjoying our food, I couldn't help eyeing the scones, along with their beer and wine selection. Clearly, I'll need several return visits to work my way through everything that caught my attention.

I am from Beverly Hills and I have never seen a restaurant be more out of touch in pricing. They are contributing to a class divide that is common in third world countries.

Tables are filthy, they serve you with PLASTIC FORKS and the lines are atrocious bc they are understaffed. This place is a joke.

Unfortunately, the food just wasn't for us. I got the #12 Frisée Lardon on an everything bagel with the triple cut house smoked bacon, crispy potatoes, runny egg, frisée and Dijon vinaigrette. It sounded SO good, but there was a ton of frisée, and the combination of the greens, vinaigrette, runny egg and really thick fatty bacon made the whole sandwich feel very wet and slippery with burnt potato chips. I'm big on texture, and I just couldn't do it. I also wasn't a fan of the bagel itself. I was hoping for something dense and chewy, and this was much flatter than what I personally like. I understand that's a preference thing and that Benchwarmers has its own style of bagel, but it definitely wasn't what we were looking for. The drinks were decent and the service was great, but overall the food was a miss for us. I can see this being someone else's thing, but unfortunately we probably wouldn't go back.

Grabbed lunch from here recently and had a good time!…read more NC Bagel is part of a reasonably busy strip mall, so it was actually surprisingly hard to find parking, but we managed to snag a spot a ways down. Inside, the restaurant was pretty small, but we luckily found an open table for our family. The cashier was extremely helpful, suggesting a "rainbow bagel" for my toddler (who was extremely opposed to everything else but fell in love with the multi-colored bagel). I got the buffalo chicken sandwich on a kaiser roll for myself, while my wife got the turkey club on wheat bread. Everyone enjoyed their food! Everything was reasonably affordable, especially because chips and fountain drinks were included with our sandwich purchases. The bathroom was out of paper towels, but other than that, everything was clean and well stocked. Overall, I enjoyed my meal at NC Bagel and would definitely come back!

| Overview (Based on experience from 4 visits)…read more + Fine amount of different bagels to choose from, including Garlic + Good variety of breakfast deli-style options other than their nice selection of bagels + Nice casual breakfast spot despite small dining area + Fast and friendly customer service + Reuben breakfast sandwich is delicious - Bagels are terribly hard to bite unlike Panera's, which is disappointing considering that NC Bagel has "Bagel" in its name. - Cost about $1 extra to add the Jalapeno Cheddar bagel in the half dozen or dozen order. - Drink selection is limited with combos. Restricted from choosing bottled soda of any of the fountain drinks. - Asiago bagel tasted Plain. I could barely taste the asiago. |Final Thoughts: There is almost no reason to choose NC Bagel over Panera or other bagel shops if you just want bagel. The hard texture is a huge letdown. I've never experienced this bagel issue in Breugger's, Panera, anywhere really. There are other breakfast options I haven't tried here so might be worth exploring but right now the only reason I'd return here is if I am craving for a Reuben sandwich for breakfast. And that mostly makes up the 2 stars I'm giving it. Really hope they improve the overall quality of their bagels. This breakfast deli spot has great potential to be "The Breakfast Spot" but it won't be able to accomplish that if their bagels are as hard as rocks. | Overall Score: 2.4/5

After 19 years of driving past and hearing all about New York Bagel and Deli, I finally stopped in…read moreto pick up lunch. There's plenty of parking in the parking lot. It's located in the Bent Green shopping center. I arrived at the perfect time, there were only a few people in front of me. There were several diners inside and outside enjoying their breakfast/lunch. I ordered 2 Rueben's with an extra side of sauerkraut and a chocolate eclair to go. Everything is made to order so be patient. They have so many options to choose from and I was hungry. I'm heading back soon to try a bagel sandwich. They pride themselves in having made from scratch dough using NY water, which makes all the difference. I got home and ate my Rueben immediately, it was absolutely delicious. My daughter who seems to be a Rueben connoisseur, said it was pretty good, for her that's a compliment. The service is great, it's like a big family in there. I'm excited to go back again soon.
