Riverdale bagels has the best and most affordable bagels in the neighborhood! Varies flavors of cream cheese (vegetable, strawberry, etc.) and all bagel types. The place is super small like a deli/bodega and the staff is super friendly. For deli coffee, I will say this is my favorite black coffee! I got three bagels and two coffees for under $20! read more

Loved this place! I was hungry and was in the area. I was on the search for good French toast, and I found some! I would highly recommend their French toast! It was fresh, delicious and hot. I also ordered orange juice. And the French toast came with syrup, too. It was exactly what I was looking for. I'll definitely order from here again. read more

The good: I came from California and visited my brother and of course wanted to try authentic New York bagels. He recommended this spot and it was delicious. The bagels were good but it was the schmear (cream cheeses) that I loved the most. The options are plentiful and the presentation looks like ice cream. In fact, the blueberry cream cheese was very milk/vanilla-esque and tasted a lot like blueberry ice cream. It was decadent and delicious and was superior to any fruit/sweet cream cheese I've had before. GOAT! The bad: I wanted more excuses to eat the cream cheese. The interesting: I enjoy toasting the bagels at home and then adding the cream cheese. The crunch makes the heavy bagel a lot easier to eat. read more

Got the toasted everything bagel with butter as a post-run treat. Honestly it was pretty good! I wish the bagel was a bit fluffier but that's a personal preference thing. There are a lot of drink and snack options as well. Overall, this is a conveniently located weekend bagel spot in Riverdale. read more

terrible over priced would not recommend, we are paying for people who dont speak english

Excellent hole in the wall bagel stop! They also have hot and deli sandwiches and hot breakfast. No seating. Fast service. Lots of regulars (which is always a good sign! ). read more

Somewhat convenient. Good bagels. Good BEC. Flow works. No seating. Staff no very motivated. Have to drive there. Someone please put a better bagel place in heart of Riverdale! read more

$7.70 for an ok bagel at 2 pm a little stale and small coffee that tastes - I'm drinking it now - old and cheap. This meal should have cost half what it does. I will not be back read more

Bagels are decent but overpriced for the quality. Got them here a few times since I live close, but no matter how early in the morning I get them they always have a stiffness to them. Chewy, never soft on the inside read more

This place is awesome! My new weekend go to. Bagels are delicious and fresh. I love the many cream cheese flavors that they offer. Easy parking. What I love most though, was that the staff is super nice! Highly recommend. read more

Riverdale Bagels - Everything bagel with garlic/pepper cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Bronx, New York

Awesome Bagels and Strawberry Pepper cheese! The bags were fresh and service wad excellent! Was there twice this summer and tge same impressionsLoved it!!! read more

Unfortunately I just walked up to this shop for the first time since the pandemic began and they are not even attempting to follow any of the Covid-19 safety guidelines. SO MANY customers were crammed into their tiny space, there was no way to even approximate keeping a good distance from each other. I won't be back until after I manage to get vaccinated, if then. Stay away. read more

0 stars. Terrible customer service, tiny cramped space and the bagels are dog food. You're better off going across the street to Gruenebaums or heck even Dunkin is better than this place. read more

Bagels are fresh, various flavored cream cheese options, the staff is friendly, respectful and gets the orders perfect every time! My favorite breakfast spot in riverdale. I usually get the everything bagel with nova lox or scallion cream cheese with fried eggs. Delicious! read more

Best bagels in Riverdale, decent size and perfectly soft and chewy with a good crust unlike the other two in the area. Only bagel store where you can get a bacon egg and cheese or a sandwich as well. Also have a great selection of Cream cheese. read more

Food never disappoints and the staff are great! My favorite local spot for a quick and delicious breakfast

This place is the best bagels in NY. Friendly staff, INCREDIBLE FRESH bagels, classic place been open for 30 years. I really deeply love this place and encourage you to give it a try. My fav is plain bagel toasted with lox spread ;) read more

Traditional NYC bagel spot filled with a variety of bagels, breakfast entrees, and some deli favorites. I typically frequent Riverdale Bagels because it is conveniently located about 10 minutes from my job. Granted there is a Dunkin Donuts right across the street, I prefer Riverdale Bagels for that authentic NYC bagel taste. My only con - pricing. Riverdale bagels charges a little bit more than i'm used to. For a buttered plain bagel, its almost $2, there is an add'l .50cent charge if you get it toasted. Otherwise, service is prompt and kind. I would definitely recommend to others. read more

Delicious bagel will recommend to anyone. That is my go to place on the weekends for my family.

Riverdale Bagels has been in the business for Thirty years. consistency is a great value

Riverdale Bagels make a solid NYC bagel. In a small shop, they also pack a lot of unique flavors, like a spicy bacon cream cheese and hot chili cherry. Do yourself a favor and try both! I also liked that their Pumpernickel bagel was more on the rye side, though that might not be great for everyone. read more

The BEST bagels in a bagel heavy neighborhood plus the absolute friendliest staff. Love this place. Do yourself a favor and try the spicy sundried tomato cream cheese. read more

Great breakfast sandwich and service. The workers were friendly and attentive. The bagels were fresh and tasted really good.

$5 for a Bacon Egg and Cheese on a roll (not a good one, mostly bread) this place is daylight robbery and just like the pizza place next door, only gets by because of its amazing location. Unless you live close by, never go here. read more

My favorite bagel place in North Riverdale. Lived up there for five+ years and this was my weekend spot. Nice people working there and good bagel sandwiches + coffee. read more

They accidentally put ketchup on my bacon egg and cheese and when I gave it back to them they just wiped off the ketchup instead of making a new one. It obviously still had a good amount on it because you can't get it all off when it's mixed in with the egg and bread. For $7.30 I would expect them to take responsibility for their mistake and make me a fresh one. No apology or anything either they just looked mad I was asking them to redo it. read more

Didn't try the bagels, walked in at 1:30 on a Sunday and was told the grill was closed. So I left. I'm pretty sure the people that walked in behind me walked out for the same reason. If you're open until 2, be open. This is a bogus business practice. The neon bagel guy sign was cool though. read more

These bagels are some of the best in the Bronx. Loved this spot ever since I was a kid!

Great choice of bagels as well as a nice assortment of cream cheese flavors. They make a great cup of coffee. Support this local business in Riverdale! read more

These people are *not* friendly unless you happen to be one of their friends. The man who seems to be the owner (manager?) has a permanent scowl on his face and looks at you like he wishes you hadn't come in the door. The price of the coffee has gone up and is not that great. The blonde woman who works there is also a sourpuss. The bagels are just bagels. Mostly it's the unfriendly people who are such a turn off. Go across the street to the Kosher bakery where the nice Hispanic lady in the bakery always smiles and tells you to "Have a beautiful day". And the lady in the deli at the back is always very nice. So you can't get ham or bacon? So what? It's bad for you anyway. And you can make your own coffee the way you want it. And funny how they don't seem to find it necessary to charge as much for a large coffee as this place. read more

Good bagels but a bit expensive. The owner and the rest of the "older" people that work here are perpetually unfriendly. However, the younger hispanic workers are very friendly. I've been here numerous times over the years and never a friendly greeting or a good morning. My common sense tells me to bring my business elsewhere but then some sick part of me wants to go more often to see if my increased business brings about some appreciation. This morning I asked for a sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel at about 1:25 (closing time was 2:00) and they said the grill was shut off. This is not the first time this has happened so it appears they shut the grill down 45 minutes to an hour before closing time. I can understand walking in about 10-15 minutes before closing time, but 35 minutes??? Either you close at a certain time or you don't. So the bagels are good and its walking distance from my house so I know I'll be back. Maybe one of these days I'll get that "Good Morning"! read more

Look, their bagels are great - okay? Yes, they are a bit expensive.... but so is everything else, elsewhere in NY. Yes, their staff isn't the friendliest. But do you need to receive the treatment of a king/queen when you're just doing a quick stop to get your bagels? Don't be such a diva. Bottom line: Grow a thick skin and indulge in awesome bagels. read more

North Riverdale needed a solid bagel option...enter Riverdale Bagels. This place has more spreads than a fashion magazine. And bagels aren't the only thing on the menu; they serve up other breakfast fare like egg and cheese on a roll - and the like. The coffee is great here too. Most importantly - the bagels here, while not perfect, don't disappoint. Everything is fairly priced, and the shop is immaculately clean. The staff is always on point - friendly and efficient, even when the line is out the door (it happens often) And it's a mom n' pop place - so skip the DD across the street and come here. You can even park in that little lot about 3 stores south. read more

Best bagels and cream cheese! Everything is so yummy and they make it quick. Only downside is that it is a little over priced.

Hands down, the best bagels I have ever had. Whether you want a quick bagel and cream cheese, or a more substantial sandwich for lunch, this is the place to go. They are quick, precise, and kind, even if you have a difficult order. And their coffee is just right, they even make cappuccino with espresso if you ask for it. read more

Hands down some of the best bagels you could ever ask for in NYC. The shop has been there for 25 years and is always a local favorite for breakfast in the morning. They get your order in and out very fast so if you need something in the morning on your way to work this won't slow you down. Love the staff that works there, always very welcoming and friendly with anyone who comes in! read more

The bagels were fair but not exceptional. Not a sit down place, gets very crowded on saturday's.

Delicious bagels and sandwiches. The guys behind the counter are great, very personable and kind. The owner and his wife however are not... read more

Good local spot. Bagels are fresh and tasty. They get BUSY so it is advisable to know what you want before you get to the front of the line. I'm strange and don't like tons and tons of cream cheese on my bagels. Most places ignore my requests and stick about 3 feet of cream cheese on anything I order. These guys listen they even show me my bagel and let me decide if I'm happy. The staff is friendly and professional just not seriously outgoing. They are New Yorkers and act accordingly. I've never ever felt unwelcome. I've also never felt the need to share my life story with them. Often when I go in there are folks who are clearly their far more frequently than I am and I overhear snatches of gossipy conversations. That said I've never felt like I wasn't welcome or that my order wasn't important to them. read more
