    Asiago bagel with bacon egg and cheese
    Nathan D.

    Got the asiago bagel with bacon egg n cheese. Was super filling and delicious.. they really stuffed it with bacon. The staff member was upbeat and helped me by answering all my questions. Also got an iced coffee.. I was full for 6 hrs. Def recommend.

    My sister and I got "the thriller" on an everything bagel. It had chicken, bacon, pepper jack cheese, avocado, lettuce, and chipotle mayo on it. We both enjoyed it. I also grabbed some of Joe's strawberry lemonade and it was really good. We stopped here during the NYC Bronx, Brooklyn, & Queens tour. Service was friendly as well there.

    I came here in the morning around 10ish and ordered a garlic bagel with two eggs sausage and american cheese. The bagel was flavorful. First time i could taste the difference between this bagel and a normal bagel from any stores - the flavor. I could taste the freshness and the imbued garlic flavor in the bagel. The rest of the ingredients: eggs, sausage, and cheese tasted pretty much the same as you would order elsewhere. I checked in using Yelp and i got free coffee as part of Yelp check-in deal. Pretty decent deal. I will definitely come back to this place more often! : )

    $9 Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich not worth it don't recommend go up the block to the deli for the same $5 sandwich

    Was charged nine dollars for one bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel very very overpriced Save your money don't let people get away with this

    Great neighborhood bagel shop! Coming from LA, I always have to have my bagel fix when I'm in NY and Bad Bagel delivered.

    sesame + spinach and artichoke cc

    Located right outside the entrance of Jefferson St (L) station, Bad Bagel is a convenient place to pick up a sandwich on the go. I came on a weekday morning and ordered a sesame seeded bagel with spinach artichoke cream cheese ($6.75) which was unfortunately rather bland. The bagel itself, while studded with fragrant sesame seeds, was chewy and had a good crust. But the spinach artichoke cream cheese spread tasted like neither spinach nor artichoke and was just very disappointing in general. I could see chopped up bits of spinach and artichoke in the schmear but it tasted like it needed a good dose of garlic powder or salt.

    I was in town and looking for a great Brooklyn breakfast sandwich and that's exactly what I got here! It was located right across from where I was working and it had a cool look to it so I gave it a shot. I got a traditional sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. This sandwich competes with any and every single breakfast sandwich I have had at home. It was so filling and delicious. Everything was made when I ordered it and not just heated up and slapped together like some places. I also got a cinnamon roll as well. Which was also equally delicious. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.

    Decent place to get an everything bagel by the Jefferson L train. The decor is trendy, it looks modern and hip compared to a lot of other bagel spots. They have a wide selection of signature sandwiches, as well as more simple breakfast options with eggs. The texture of the bagel is good, although it is a bit too bread-like and not as chewy as some of my favorite spots. There can also be a bit of a long wait time, especially when lots of delivery drivers turn up, they seem to prioritize them.

    Everything Bagel with Flavored Cream Cheese: cucumber dill cc
    Justin T.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon closer to their closing time to get an everything bagel with cucumber dill cream cheese. Bagel isn't as chewy w as I would prefer, but it's a good bagel; cucumber dill cc schmear was very generous - it was airy and refreshing- exactly what I was looking for as a solid snack between meals. Staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. Nice clean space with ample seating.

    Everything.

    The Bad Bagel is a top contender in the bagel game. I stopped by recently for a coffee and bagel. Everything with scallion cream cheese. The bagel itself had a perfect chew, perfect crust, and close to what I'd consider a perfect Brooklyn bagel. Scallion cream cheese was on point. Do wish the bagel had some more seeds though but not a mood killer. The place is modern, employees seem alright, and its spotless. Coffee was "meh" but did its job of washing down this delicious bagel. Eat here!

    Food was really bad, and over priced. The closing time was also extremely inaccurate. Don't waste you time or money coming here.

    Have had the pleasure of dining at La Cantine a few times now and can definitely say I have never…read morebeen disappointed by anything ordered. The menu changes constantly and you can find the latest menu on their Instagram stories which they update daily. As a rule of thumb, plan to get dessert. The dark chocolate tiramisu slice we were served was healthy in size, rich in flavor and perfect to split between the two of us. I tend to order 3 dishes (one protein and two side dishes) when coming in with a friend. The dishes are always a reminder of how simple ingredients can be combined to create fantastic flavors. As a note, the Chicken Cutlet was perfectly crisp and now I feel inclined to stop in for lunch and grab a sandwich. The wines are definitely selected by someone who has a preference for funky I almost want to say musky flavors. Never really found something there that I liked which is the only drawback to this place. Get a reservation, this place can be packed very quickly. It's also good for small groups, I've seen many a birthday dinner take place here.

    Very disappointed with this spot and was rudely accused of not paying the bill!…read more Came here extremely excited to try out their birthday cake tiramisu and check out the restaurant in general since it had been on my list for a while. While the place is pretty cute aesthetically, the service was awful. I had made a reservation since that's what's recommended by the establishment and everyone we interacted with was pretty unpleasant. In addition, the cake tasted old and so freezer burnt that we had one bite and discarded the rest. Nothing about it was appealing. Worst of all no one seemed to want to wait on us so we spent the whole time trying to flag someone down so we left cash on the table for everything and left. Dispute all this we decided to still tip 30% since our order was so small and we wanted to be courteous. 15 mins later I get an extremely rude phone call from the restaurant immediately accusing me of leaving without paying! They didn't even have the decency to check the table without immediately assuming and being unbelievable disrespectful. Still in disbelief about the entire experience, would not recommend this establishment to anyone.

    I am very pleased that a place such as Sauce and Soda exists…read more We were out having drinks on a Friday night, and Sauce and Soda presented itself as a lifesaver to us. Being Angelenos, it's VERY hard to find ANYTHING that is open IN-STORE after 10 or 11pm...even on the weekend!! We were so happy to find this establishment while walking between bars and starting to feel very hungry! Also, it doesn't hurt that the pizza here is also EXCELLENT! Having visited L'Industrie earlier in the week, which I absolutely LOVED, I was very pleasantly surprised to find the pizza slices here to be quite comparable in taste, quality, and size. It's also a very bright, open, warm, and welcoming space within. Service was prompt and efficient, if not a tad bit curt...although I give them grace...considering the fact we were visiting late at night around 2am. Anyways...if it was THAT good when we went in the middle of the night...I feel I can confidently recommend this spot as great for grabbing pizza slices. It's definitely worth a visit, in my book!
