Since it's the nearest one to our hotel we decided to give it a try. With a pretty decent amount of options on the menu, it was just deciding on what to have. They also have a huge assortment of schmeres aka cream cheese blends. We decided to keep it simple by going with just bagels and shmeres so we tried a plain, a cinnamon raisin and an everything bagel, plus a Lox scallion cream cheese, bacon jalapeño and chocolate chip Nutella for our sides of cream cheeses. Since our hotel was nearby, we took it back to our room. My cinnamon raisin was a bit chewy. Not the texture I prefer in a bagel and the Nutella cream cheese just did not have enough Nutella flavor. Maybe I just got a bad one.
Pio Bagels take over the Chelsea Bagel & Pizza location 34th and Park. Definitely a step down as a multi location bagel store getting too big to control quality and value. Everything bagel with jalapeño crème cheese - bagel a few days old and lack of actual jalapeños and chopped fine and whipped. Overall weak bagel & crème cheese for $7.00 in NYC so disappointing. Bring back Chelsea Bagels with freshness & quality!
Fluffy and delicious! Various exotic cream cheese flavors. Grabbed a bunch of bagels to take home and the staff was friendly! A Good bagel always hits the spot and these did just that!
I saw Pio Bagel's high Yelp rating and decided to give it a try. I was their first customer, at 7:00 AM. The shop is not large, but they have a vast selection of bagel spreads, and ordered a Breakfast Burrito Wrap (Cajun chicken, sautéed beans, eggs, lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, and guacamole). This Burrito was cut in half, nicely wrapped, very filling, and I enjoyed every bite. The staff was friendly, prepared everything fresh, you could see your items being prepared, and I was impressed with this business. I will definitely return to Pio Bagel, in order to try those delicious looking bagel spreads and recommend it to every Yelper.
Pio Bagel was the perfect stop during a recent business trip to New York, right at the end of the block from my hotel. I popped in for a quick coffee and breakfast bagel and I would totally go back if I lived in the area. The house bagel (Pio bagel) came loaded with cheese, scallions, and a mix of items I can't fully recall, but I remember it being delicious. The Americano was solid and the bagel itself was hearty, the kind that actually holds you over. A great, easy breakfast spot if you're nearby.
These bagels are so good! Got the everything bagel scooped out, with jalapeño /scallion cream cheese. First of all I have yet to find another bagel spot with jalapeño/scallion cream cheese, don't understand why this is not a standard everywhere. And second the bagels (even if not scooped out) are not overwhelming to bite into, it's the perfect amount of bread and lots of cream cheese to save some for another bagel later Also pleasantly surprised by the iced chai! So good! Paid 13$ for both.
Kudos to Pio Bagel because ur was open on December 25th Christmas day The service was great and fast, the people speak english and Spanish! The space is small but you can definitely find a seat in between or to stay away from the cold of the city! I liked their bacon scallion but I wouldn't order the pio bagel again, felt it was just a plain bagel. Is a great spot for a quick bagel!
This is the ONLY BAGEL SPOT you need to check out while you're visiting times square! This place is so underrated, given their variety of cream cheeses and generous portions! Service was so friendly and welcoming. I'm no bagel expert but the lady was very nice at explaining what options they have and how I could order what I had pictured in my head. I got their lox supreme with jalepeno cream cheese on a rainbow bagel. Generous portion of lox (smoked salmon) and the cream cheese had a nice hint of jalepeno! Definitely the best bagel I had! The rainbow bread is also nicely toasted, got a good crunch! Very casual spot, I was able to sit down and enjoy my bagel.
Convenient location near Port Authority and no crazy lines. The inside gives a local cozy feel and the staff was friendly. Limited seating and no restroom. The menu has lots of bagels, breakfast items, desserts, and light lunch items. Picked up a variety of bagels to have the next morning. The bagels were massive. They felt a bit too dry/chewy for my liking despite toasting them. Perhaps they are good when you have them fresh but won't last beyond that? The cookies and wrapped desserts looked nice. Perhaps I'll try that next time.
This is seriously one of the best bagel spots I had while visiting the Times Square area. I just landed in the city after an early morning flight and was definitely craving a NYC bagel. I opted to order both the bacon egg and cheese and the sausage egg and cheese. I got one on a jalapeno bagel and the other on plain, and honestly - both were delicious! The BEC had a nice kick with the jalapeno and the bagel was perfectly steamed. There was very little bacon in comparison, so I would just want a couple more slices there since there was quite a big of egg. However, the SEC honestly won. The sausage to egg ratio was perfect and the bagel, being plain, didn't overpower it at all. It was a decent size and kept me satisfied until lunch! I'd definitely visit again.
Only planned on getting my an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. But saw the sign for a Cuban and had to add that to my order. Was also needing some coffee so went with a vanilla iced latte. The Cuban was outstanding. I had it on an everything bagel which I was skeptical of. The bagel did make it a little hard to eat but the ham and pork were so good it didn't matter what bread it was on definitely worth 12.95. The scallion cream cheese was the perfect balance of lots of scallions and cream cheese. The iced latte was too dark for me, but I'm a coffee wuss. Two Splenda made it much more palatable. The cafe itself is small with a few bar seats. But even at 1pm it was pretty crowded. There are a ton of bagel shops in the area, but I'll definitely be coming back here.
Very nice local bagel place. As a tourist, I can't say whether or not this accurately represents a true nyc bagel but for my first nyc bagel, I'd say it's pretty tasty. The total for 4 people came out to 45$ w/o tax (3 bagels w eggs, breakfast burritos, and 2 coffees). They have a wide range of options and is pretty easy to order. The seating is just stools and counters.
This spot is amazing. The bagels were fresh and the assortment of homemade cream cheese varieties was delicious. The servers were super friendly and the outside seating was nice to enjoy a quick breakfast bite with a customized cup of coffee. Lots of bagel spots to choose from but I highly recommend this location.

Review Pio Bagel was such a great New York experience! We had the rainbow bagel with strawberry cream cheese and the plain bagel with lox and cream cheese, along with a small cappuccino. Everything was so fresh.The bagels were made right there and you could really taste the difference. The lox bagel was excellent, and the rainbow bagel was just plain fun. Great food, fresh bagels, and that classic NYC feel. Definitely a place we'll remember from our trip! read more

Pio Bagel is another glorious shop in New York that produces great bagels. I applaud their ingenuity with the Pio Bagel, which had bacon, jalapeño, and scallions baked into it. It was quite glorious and grand, toasted and served with bacon and jalapeño shmear and nova salmon. It was incredibly satisfying with the iced coffee. Pio Bagel is also a great bagel shop that doesn't have a crazy line from the counter to the front door. Granted, we went on a Sunday at 9 am, so the crowds may not have been showing up yet. But I found we didn't wait long to give our order and receive it. Additionally, I liked looking at the various cream cheeses prepared behind the window display. The next time I am in New York and visit, I would like to order multiple bagels with the various cream cheeses so I can full enjoy myself with the flavors of life. There is both table seating and high-top seating in the shop. Not a lot, but certainly spaces if available to sit and enjoy your food, do your work on the laptop if you have one. It's a cool local spot on 9th Avenue, just around the block from some hotels like the one we were staying at and the Port Authority Bus Terminal. read more
Had a bagel craving while in NYC for work and stopped into Pio Bagel since it was right around the corner from my hotel on 39th between 8th and 9th. As a Jersey native, I've missed real bagels, and this place definitely hit the spot. First thing I noticed, no crazy line, which was awesome for Midtown. The staff was super friendly, moved quickly, and my order was ready in about five minutes. There's also some seating inside, which is rare for a bagel spot in this area. I went with two bagels (was starving): a bacon & cheese on an everything, plus an asiago with chive cream cheese. Also grabbed an iced coffee. Total came out to just over $20, not bad at all for Midtown. Coffee was solid, and both bagels were phenomenal. The asiago + chive combo especially stood out. Overall, great bagel shop with quick service, friendly staff, and tasty options. Definitely a spot I'd come back to next time I'm in the city. read more

This location definitely stays busy! We arrived on a Friday morning around 9:30 and we're fortunate enough to get our order in, but it was a constant revolving door of customers! They do have some general seating but they are barstool type seating. As one can imagine they fill in very quickly. They have a variety of offerings from breakfast sandwiches to plain bagels as well as a variety of creamcheese. My husband got the asiago cheese bagel with egg, bacon and cheddar cheese. He said it was very good. I got the plain bagel with plain cream cheese and avocado. Again delicious read more

Amazing selections and taste. love the options for cream cheese and sandwich's. Friendly staff and clean. read more
Nice authentic NY deli right around the corner from our hotel in midtown. We grabbed breakfast to-go and a half-dozen for friends at home before we headed to the airport. They were prompt and friendly. There are SO many choice of cream cheese which I wasn't used to but was so glad I chose scallion and jalapeno for my everything bagel - yum! Nothing like a NY bagel...is it the water? Doesn't matter - these were exactly what I was craving, plus the generous slathering of schmear was heavenly. They packaged my half dozen great in paper then plastic bags - it survived a whole day of travel yet wasn't stale! read more

Great little bagel shop in the city. I was in town for a tradeshow and on my way tot he tradeshow I stumbled on this bagel shop Selections of bagel 5/5 I order the garlic bagel and it was heavily garlicky which was perfect for me Shear 2/5 I got the vegetable smhmear and it was good until I got a few bites of fizziness. Now sure if it was sitting too long but it felt a little fermented or a little bad. Service 5/5 quick Ambiance 5/5 has seats and a great grab and go read more
it's very important to try new bagel places when you have someone to split with - it was late morning on a Sunday and there was no line so that's a win regardless of where we are in the city - the lox sandwich on an egg bagel was delicious. only complaint is not enough cream cheese (on either bagel) but the lox were delicious and piled high. the onions and capers added a solid crunch and twang. tomato's were perfectly ripe and the cucumber was a surprise - the bagels perfectly had a crisp outter shell and chewy inside, they were all a good hefty size but cut so unevenly that one side was giving ... toast! - the gorgeous mounds of fun cream cheese were calling my name so we got a sausage egg and bacon-scallion cream cheese sandwich on an onion bagel. the eggs were clearly just scrambled with a little fluff and a slight burnt (not bad, just real!) taste. the sausage was moist and well seasoned - I was bummed the cream cheese was only on one side of the bagel and a very light smear! sigh. it was def more scallion forward but the bacon added a little saltiness - the first time we ordered they gave me a sandwich with bacon instead of sausage (pictured here) and I let them know (I'm such a Karen) but they handled so fast and well! - for some reason the person next to me eating a pancake platter like...knew what was up. they looked oddly so good for a takeaway bagel joint read more

Best bagels around! Great small business spot to grab a yummy freshly made bagel before you start your day! read more
This place is fast, friendly, and very cute inside. The service was excellent, the menu is pretty concise, and they have a buck of ice cream style selection for their various flavored cream cheeses! Our bagels were fresh and chewy and the sandwiches were fantastic. We'll be back when we visit NY again! read more
Interior and staff were so nice. Honestly my bagel was pretty average unfortunately. A little bit dense ... I like a fluffy bagel though so this would probably have been so good if you like that Vs fluffy. I got a SEC and luckily eggs were pretty good too. Just an average bagel place IMO read more

This is a no-frills bagel spot that's definitely worth a visit! Before leaving the city, I had a craving for one last bagel and chose this place since it was within walking distance of my hotel. The staff was super friendly and courteous, and my order came out quickly. I ordered The Hudson, which included smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato, onion, cucumbers, and capers. I opted for the bacon scallion cream cheese, and it was absolutely delicious! The bagel was so big that I split it with my partner, and even half was filling enough. read more
This place was recommended by the hotel staff. So we went to get a real NY bagel. Frankly, I wasn't really impressed. The actual bagel was no better than one of the larger chains (like Einstein). But they did have a bit more options to top your bagel, which was good. Service was very friendly. I can't quite go to 4 stars. For the friendly service, and variety available, I want to give them more than 3 stars. Maybe 3.5, if Yelp allowed it. read more

We were so pleased to find this lovely, clean and cheerful Latin-inspired bakery around the corner from our hotel, a stone's throw from The Port Authority and in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Hell's Kitchen. We were greeted warmly and efficiently by staff and our orders were prepared quickly. They had such an assortment of freshly prepared bagels and spreads, very impressive. Their offerings included sandwiches, wraps, and sweet and savory combos - perfect for breakfast and lunch options. Their rainbow bagel was so enticing! I ordered a NYC combo on a specialty Pio Bagel (savory with scallions, highly recommended) and the ham, provolone and salami combo hit the spot. read more
