Came here to buy a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel and cream cheese for breakfast. The bagel was perfect. The right amount of crisp and chewiness. I was served quickly and the servers were really kind. Aside from the horrible increase in the price of something as simple as a bagel and cream cheese, I have no other complaints. The shop is also very clean and well organized. They even had a NY Knicks colored bagel to show support for the winning team. read more

After getting a facial, took a walk to find a quick breakfast. I'm not sure if I was just hungry but it was 1 of the best bagels I've ever had. I ordered the everything bagel with lox spread and it was sooooo good. Definitely will stop by any time I'm in the area. read more

Unfortunately not as great as it used to be. So I ordered a bagel package number 2 and when I got home it was not the bagels that I ordered and on top of it they short changed me my extra bagels. It's so sad that a business has to resort to this when you are spending so much for their products. read more

I enjoyed the jalapeño cheddar cream cheese on a rainbow legal. It was very rich I a quater of the bagel was enough. I probably would have enjoyed a half bagel. I wanted to to try something special spicy chiro egg melt on a bagel. Nothing special it need more kick. I didnt lole the 3% surcharge on credit card charges so I paid cash. One positive part about this is this gives cash a fighting chance to survive. read more

Its me again with another review of a poppy seed bagel with strawberry spread. Smith st bagel did deliver you freshly baked, soft and crunchy New York style bagel with great tasting spread. But hold on, let's mention the guys behind the counter. As always, I asked for a little advise, a recommendation on how to order my bagel and the two guys behind the counter not only gave a recommendation but got into a small friendly chat. Gentlemen, you get 5 STARS on top of the 5 stars for this review and a huge THANK YOU for being so friendly. Looks like Smith st bagel offers a huge variety of freshly made bagel and a fridge full of different spreads. I was pleasantly surprised seeing cucumber dill, honey bacon or chipotle flavors just to name few. The shop has some indoor seating and few benches outside. This place certainly becoming a part of the neighborhood. read more

This place had such great reviews and I decided to give it a chance on Uber eats! They use different couriers so be aware they send you a link for tracking. It to be honest this was one of the best Uber eats experiences I've had I ordered an ice latte, an everything bagel with bacon, cheddar and scallion cream cheese and a bacon egg and cheese. The latte was absolutely excellent and strong. The BEC was exactly what I needed and that was some of the best cream cheese ever. 10/10 read more

My favorite bagel spot in the whole WORLD! I wish I could take these back home (Texas!). I love the vibe, location, service is quick & easy, menu is plentiful, bagels are extraordinary! We've ALWAYS been able to grab a spot to sit, inside or outside. read more

New owners. Shop completely redone. I haven't tried yet. Menu offerings look overly base now bit won't judge.

I used to like their bagels, but since they reopened a couple weeks ago after a long re-construction, their bagels are now twice the thickness of the old ones - no longer dense and chewy (as bagels should be) but are now huge yeasted rolls. Not bagels. I tried to post this on their website's "contact us", but it considered it to be spam and wouldn't take it. read more

I had a delivery order from Smith Street Bagel since it was nearby. We got the Lox Bagel ($14.95) and Lox Spread Bagel ($5.95). The plain bagel was too chewy and hard with little cream cheese, so felt this was lackluster. The lox was decent, but I've had better. For the price, it's not too bad but I'd rather spend a couple dollars more for a stuffed bagel. read more

Happy when this finally reopened under new management. Went in for half a pound of tuna salad. Got charged $11. I aksed how much for a pound they said $22. I had already paid so I left. Looked up the price later, it was $13 a pound. Won't go again. Stupid move. read more

First time at Smith St bagels. Order in the back at the counter and pay at the front after. They stick to the traditional bagel flavor offerings but have a large variety of cream cheese flavors. At noon on a Saturday the place was reasonably busy but not swamped, so we were able to grab a table for two to eat there. I ordered the Mocha special (lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion, capers) on an onion bagel for $13. On the whole it was good, but there was too much tomato for my liking- it distracted from the rest of the ingredients. There was less lox for the price compared to another place in the neighborhood I've been to, but it was still a reasonable amount. The bagel itself was more dense and doughy, which held up the sandwich well. read more

Came here at about 12:30 on a Tuesday, pretty empty. The woman at the register took my order, forgot to give the ticket to the kitchen. I waited like 25-30 mins for two bagel sandwiches. Brought them home in the pouring rain and both were COMPLETELY wrong. Totally different order. This place used to be good. It's really a shame. read more

I noticed Smith Street Bagels as I was heading into an imaging appointment across the street. I just knew I was going to grab a bagel before I headed home. Sooooo glad i stopped by, as they didn't disappoint! I ordered a whole wheat everything bagel with lox spread and it was utterly delicious!!! SSB had a wide variety of cream cheeses: vegan, gluten free, and a myriad of flavors. If you're not in the mood for a bagel, they have juices, smoothies, pastries, etc. Slightly overwhelming, but in a great way!!! If you're ever in Cobble Hill, Smith Street Bagels should be your breakfast destination, regardless of the time of day! Oh and they have a b&w cookie that's a must!!! read more

My first bagel experience in New York hit the spot. I shared an everything bagel with lox cream cheese, though they forgot to put the extra tomato we paid for. This was soo tasty and perfectly toasted. I also shared the egg sandwich 9 on a pumperknickle, which was also decadent. Coffee washed this all down well too! read more

Tried their rainbow bagel with strawberry cream cheese. The bagel didn't really hold up well with the cream cheese, so it was eaten in pieces. Def not something you can grab and walk around without it getting all over you. I'd wonder how other bagels would hold up and if in the area I'd give them another try. read more

This is one of the few bagel joints around that is open late. I believe they used to be open 24 hours, but I'm not sure that is still the case. When I came around 5pm, most of the bagel selection had already been depleted so I opted for an everything pumpernickel with scallion and lox cream cheese ($6.95). I was stuck between that or the mushroom and truffle, but decided on the former after both staff members recommended it. But, I did feel that the cream cheese lacked any real lox flavor as it was mostly just salty but tinged with scallion pieces. The pumpernickel bagel had an excellent chew and was perfectly dense and hearty. read more

Every time I order a blueberry bagel, they give me cinnamon raison without asking or telling me. I won't be fooled again. They also left out one-third of the items in my last order. read more

Smith St Bagels rules. I get them all the time. Great bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and the most delicious, freshest OJ! They have other fresh juices too including watermelon juice, and they sell them by the bottle. And then a whole slew of other things: smoothies, espresso drinks, non-bagel sandwiches, pastries, desserts, etc. They're open 24/7 which is a total game changer. If you go in person on weekend mornings, expect a long wait. Don't have time to wait? Order delivery! I've ordered at like 10a on a Saturday and received my order within like 15 min. They accept cash, credit card, and Apple Pay. read more

Love the bagels from here, when you go early in the morning the service is bustling and hustling and the bagels are warm and have a soft delicious inside. It's a daily visit for me when I have a job site close to the location! read more

I don't know what is going on with this place lately but the quality has dropped tremendously. Every time I've ordered from here over the past couple months at least one thing is either missing or wrong with my order. Today I ordered a veggie wrap, ate half of it, and now have food poisoning. I'm pissed and while this has been a long-time go-to for me, I can now never trust it again. read more

(4.5/5) Fast service even though there was a long line and a lot of online orders. I ordered the Brooklyn loved (lox, cucumber dill cream cheese, avocado, onion and tomato) and the two eggs with cheese and chorizo bagel with jalapeno cream cheese. The egg one was delicious!!! However, I just wish the lox one had more lox, there was probably only 2 thin slices. read more

I have seen this place before and have even gotten some coffee from there on the go when I'm walking by.i love the white and back checkered style they have inside. They do have a nice layout with seating. I usually go to the city for my bagels, it's a few min drive for me, But with the new congestion price on the bridges and tunnels going into the city is a no. I usually go to the city to see my dad, bring him some bagels from around his house. But since we aren't going to the city as much we figured why not just give smith street bagels a try. When I first walked in a worker told me to wait he would tend to me, but then another worker came by and said next, so I was ready to order and he told me to wait. I was getting aggravated but finally the other worker came. I got my bagels and cream cheese and left. I can honestly say these bagels did not disappoint. They were absolutely delicious! Their in-house cream cheese was delicious! Their bagels were light yet soft made to perfection. If you're in the mood for some delicious bagels and cream cheese you won't have to cross a bridge or take a tunnel. All you have to do is come here to smith street bagels. read more

Smith Street Bagels - What we have left after what we purchased. Delicious. - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This place is a joke. Just ordered a lox bagel, it literally has one micro slice of lox on it. For 13$. Won't be returning to cheapskate bagel with so many other quality spots around. Avoid. read more

Smith St Bagels makes it to one of my top three bagel spots in Brooklyn. Does it claim the top spot? No, but it arguably offers the best value for the quality and price ($1 each). Their bagels are consistently solid, with the requisite chewiness inside. I love their everything bagels and even their everything, sesame, and multi-grain flats. For a sweeter alternative, their French toast bagels are fabulous. For novelty, they even offer rainbow bagels. Personally I don't think the multi-color swirls add much in the way of taste and don't love the use of food coloring, so wouldn't order them again. Definitely a neighborhood favorite of mine. read more

Looking for some amazing NYC bagels in the hood... you've found the spot. The bonus you'll get is the amazing flavored cream cheese options. Try cucumber dill or apple cinnamon (savory vs sweet). Service is efficient and quick. Apple Pay accepted easily so leave the wallet at home. Seating outside if you want to take it slow (covered and also easy access to the F train if you need to take it on the go. read more

This is one of those places that you go to when you absolutely need to charge your phone, need a bagel when you are drunk at 3am, or end up in this neighborhood. This is the only place that is available for this at this hour, and is one of those classic NYC delis that has everything you need, the delicious smell of food, and your high NYC deli prices, a neighborhood staple. read more

Bagels are decent abs good texture but also can be hit or miss. Cream cheese is outrageously abs and the staff aren't very good at customer service or kindness. Not my fussy go-to at all and there are better placed for a bagel in Brooklyn. read more

There are a lot of things Smith Street Bagels does well. Where they often fall short is in getting orders right. On numerous occasions I have ordered bacon, egg and cheeses with SPKH (salt, pepper, ketchup, hot sauce) and they often forget the condiments. No biggie, I can add it at home. I've also asked for avocado and they've forgotten that too. When you're charged an extra $2 for avocado on your order, you expect to have it on there. Disappointing. Delivery orders often miss the mark too. We used Door Dash to get a chicken salad sandwich a few weeks ago and asked for lettuce tomato and cheddar cheese - none of the extras were there - luckily door dash gave me a credit for the oversight. Today (in store), ordered an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and tomato: forgot the tomato. My wife's plain bagel with scallion cream cheese was seriously lacking on the spread. Normally cream cheese is spilling out the sides of every bite. What's most surprising of this is that there's a person who writes down your order on a post it note and hands it directly to the person making your food. If you're going there in the future, make sure you check everything before walking out the door, otherwise you might be missing something and overcharged. I would really like to rely on this place more since it makes good quality bagels and sandwiches for Carroll Gardens, but they have to do better on getting the orders right. read more

Yummy bagels. Good service. Plus green juice! It was solid and quick and had a few tables and counter space.

I don't understand the harsh reviews. The bagels are fresh, dough-y, and delicious. Had a wonderful toasted whole wheat with strawberry cream cheese. Service is always friendly and fast! read more

Stay Away from this place !! Got a Lox Bagel with Tomatoes, onions & capers for $16. They only put ONE SLICE of Lox. Next day i approach the manager and he simply laughed in my face and said "ONE SLICE is what they give. I replied I've been coming here for 12 years and this is how you will treat your customers - he smirked. If a customer is paying $16 the bagel should be stuffed with enough Lox, especially for a loyal customer ! NEVER AGAIN!! They lost a customer & a bunch of others as i told my colleagues!! read more

Amazing bagels and sandwiches in a cute location! I'm supposed to be eating healthy rn but I woke up with a craving for carbs and life is short. We came here on a Sunday morning around 11am and only waited in line for about 5 minutes. They had plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. They also had the prettiest rainbow bagels I've ever seen. They had a huge selection of specialty sandwiches and bagel sandwiches. They also take credit card FYI. We got the lox mocha special on a rainbow bagel and a pastrami rueben, and both were delicious. I like that they put the perfect amount of cream cheese, not too much and not too little (I feel like most bagel shops put way too much and I end up wiping it off). The rueben came on a baguette that was toasted to perfection fr, with a lot of pastrami and sauerkraut. I def recommend taking your food to eat outside on the street. This place was also cheaper than the other bagel places I've been to, for even better quality. Will definitely be back! read more

I have been going to Smith St. Bagels for years and absolutely love the fresh bagels, atmosphere, and friendly staff. The ONLY reason I am rating this establishment with 4 stars is because they recently changed their hours. They have always been a 24 hour bagel joint. Smith St. Bagels has served Smith St's night life for years and it was incredibly disappointing to hear the news of their hour change. They now close at 4pm. Regardless of their hours, don't miss a chance to taste a Smith St. Bagel, Sandwich, or Baked Good. read more

Smith Street Bagels - Fresh Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

On a recent trip to NYC, we stayed in Brooklyn and thankfully, it was just a few miles from Smiths which I was familiar with from reviewing Yelp before the trip. After a short Lyft ride on a Sunday morning, we found ourselves feeling like New Yorkers standing in line at bagel shop. We had never seen anything like it. New Yorkers will put anything on a bagel! My wife had to have their famous rainbow bagel and she added cinnamon butter. It was odd looking, but tasted fantastic. I had to go all in and get a blt with avacado on a plain bagel. It was so good. I'll be thinking of that for a long time. If you are visiting NYC/Brooklyn be sure and put this place on your itinerary and experience a little piece of NY. read more

I've been coming to Smith Street Bagels for a while now, and it never disappoints! The bagels are always fresh, perfectly toasted, and packed with flavor. My go to is the bacon, egg & cheese on an everything bagel always hits the spot. Plus, they've got a nice dine-in area if you want to sit and enjoy your food. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and even during the morning rush, they keep things moving. If you're in Downtown Brooklyn, this is the spot to check out !! read more

Expensive but delicious!! Delivery was fast and the bagel was still hot! I ordered the garlic bagel with cream cheese with chives...pastrami and onions! A little pit more pastrami and less cream cheese and it's perfect'!! read more

Consistently good bagels and good service. The pumpernickel is especially good. If you're travelling they also freeze well.
