    Zaatar Bagel with Zaatar Cream Cheese (~$6) with tomato (75¢) and cucumber (75¢)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Zaatar Bagel with Zaatar Cream Cheese (~$6) with tomato (75¢) and cucumber (75¢) - toasted & scooped out Aya's take: Being Middle Eastern, I was shocked that I had never heard of this place considering this is the Home of the Zaa'tar Bagel! They were pretty busy considering it was 11am on a Sunday but we were in & out in 15 minutes. The Zaatar Bagel was quite dry and you get that aromatic, earthy, and slightly woody flavor from the zaatar on top. For some reason, the Zaatar Cream Cheese had an essence of truffle. I didn't mind it since I'm a fan of this flavor profile but it just wasn't what I was expecting. The zaatar was definitely not very strong to taste; I would've liked more herbaceous, tartness (from sumac), and richness. The tomato & cucumber were a must as it added a fresh bite and crunchy texture to every bite. It was a good try but I would probably try something else next time. Stop by and support this local Palestinian-owned business! FYI, bring cash if you want to save the 3% surcharge on credit cards.

    If you are excited for the vegan option, don't be. I waited longer than the 3 people behind me for ... this. Ordered with ketchup, no ketchup. And they cut in half one small vegan sausage lol $11 I'd be embarrassed as a business to have this representing me, vegan option or not.

    This has quickly become my go-to bagel spot in the neighborhood! The za'atar bagel with scallion lox cream cheese is super addicting. Quick service and lots of different bagel and spread options!

    Second visit to this hectic bagel shoppe. The line is always long so don't pop in expecting a quick takeaway. The line to order wraps around a tall display shelf. So you are unable to see the menu until moments prior to ordering. Be prepared to decide very quickly! The shoppe offers many cream cheese beautifully displayed in mountainous dishes inside a cooler. Today was the Fort Greene sandwich served on toasted everything bagel and chive cream cheese. The avacado and turkey was plenty. Skimpy on lettuce cheese and tomato. My two friends receieved their individual sandwich in order of the ticket number, while I was skipped by five numbers. Finally the cashier called my ticket to clarify that I wanted the pepperjack cheese listed on the sandwich description. Mind you I didn't modify my order . So again I was resigned to waiting as my friends paced on the sidewalk. The service requires improvement. The sandwiches are on par compared to others in the neighborhood. Price point is high at $19 for a turkey sandwich.

    Zaatar Bagel w/Olive Cream Cheese is amazing. The flavor of the bagel paired nicely with the cream cheese. This was recommended by the gentleman who took our order and he didn't steer us wrong. I'd totally go back to see what other unique flavors they have and when in doubt, ask for a recommendation and be adventurous. You can tell this has been around awhile, the shop is quaint and you can see the age and history here.

    Sesame seed + za'atar cc ($6)

    I came around noon but apparently that was too late as they were all sold out of the za'atar bagels. Fortunately, there was za'atar cream cheese, and I absolutely fell in love with it. Initially I was leaning towards the black truffle cream cheese, but I asked the staff member taking my order which they would recommend and they immediately responded with za'atar. My sesame bagel with za'atar cream cheese came out $6 and it was worth ever penny. The sesame seeds had a nice toasted flavor and the bagel had an excellent deep brown color. The texture was not too denser and the inside was nice and springy. But that cream cheese, wow! It's nutty, it's rich, and the tang you usually get from the sumac is tempered by the cream cheese. In fact, it makes the cream cheese taste even cheesier and savorier, thanks to the marjoram and oregano. I will definitely be back to try their za'atar bagel and black truffle cream cheese too. But the za'atar cream cheese is definitely worth a trip over to Olde Brookyn Bagel Shoppe.

    Got the vegan sausage egg and cheese and husband got the turkey panini with peppers. Both were awesome!! The staff was really nice, they get busy on weekends especially so the wait was kind of long. They have nice outdoor seating as well.

    Cute storefront with lots of items for purchase... like a bodega plus bagels. No seating at the store, but lots of tables nearby when open streets is ongoing. The bagels lacked a bit of something and were quite white. When toasted they we're burned. I'll save my bagel fix for the next stop.

    One of the best bagel shops in the area. Large menu. Be ready with what type of bagel you feel like. The service is quick and easy. And the cashier was friendly. Mr. F (Pastrami, fried egg, lettuce, red onion, and cream cheese on an everything bagel.)

    Soft chewy bagel, flavorful spread, perfectly crispy bacon and quick friendly service. What's not to like? My order: ~$9 Everything bagel Siracha scallion garlic cc (special of the week and great!) Bacon, extra crispy

    A nice bagel shop! Expect NYC prices, because you'll get them! We popped in for a coffee and bagel late AM. There are a lot of options with both bagel and toppings. The service was great! There's no indoor seating, but 2 long benches right outside, where we sat comfortably and enjoyed both the coffee (very good, by the way) and bagels.

    I tried the za'atar bagel, which I'd never had before (has lots of spices on it), and put egg whites, cheese, and tomato on it.

As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language.

We wanted to try something different after having explored so many of the typical places in Manhattan and Shelsky's came highly recommended While I was expecting a long wait on a Saturday mid-morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find the establishment with only a few in line before us. Now, I was desperately seeking a very simple belly lox with schmear, but much to my dismay, they didn't have any more belly lox. I was heartbroken and had to figure out a plan B While I pondered, the family quickly ordered a Peter Shelsky, a Great Gatsby, and a Fancy Pants. I crumbled in my panic and jumped in with another Peter Shelsky. We also tried a small amount of whitefish salad and a beet/thyme salad The service was quick and we were able to grab two of the three small tables at the front to enjoy our fare. Soon we were digging in and from the immediate silence, I could tell everyone was enjoying their choices. The bagels were on the smaller side, denser with a firm crust. We did enjoy the bagels, but I could see how someone not familiar with this style may find them too "cardboard-y" I have to say, the pickled herring on the Peter Shelsky was fantastic, but was way too overpowering for the nova and sable. I actually regretted my choice and would order something more sunken next time. (Or get to the store earlier to beat the rush for the darn belly lox!) The beet salad was quite a nice balance to for the bagels adding a bit of brightness. The whitefish salad was solid - a hint of smoke and a creamy puree. Some who prefer a chunkier whitefish salad might find this less than satisfactory, but the flavors were great A cure store, friendly and patient staff, a great first exposure to Brooklyn for the boys. We'll be back (and we want belly lox!!)

It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say.
