Believe the hype: Utopia also lives up to its name. Superb bagels: crusty on the outside but with a light and soft interior. The atmosphere is cool and casual, but comfortable and oends itself to hanging out. The staff is efficient but super nice, with an extra shout-out to the manager, who quickly sorted out an issue with my order (all my fault). My egg bagel was steaming hot right out of the oven, and was one of the best I have ever had.
This place can get very busy on the weekends but service is decently fast. They're worth it and cheech are my favorite ones, super fresh and tasty. My only thing is that I order a jalapeño and cheddar bagel twice and both times the bagel did not have a single jalapeño on it, which made the surcharge not feel worth it. Their coffee is okay but a nice addition with a classic Nyc bagel. Their prices are also reasonable
Tasty morning bagels in a clean dining room, but with counter service rather dismal enough to create an impression they probably don't deserve. Hopefully it was only a fluke. I wanted to come away feeling that the Utopia Bagel experience was worth the online hype that drew me to it in the first place. I was visiting from Florida and staying nearby for a few nights. Can I recommend? Absolutely Yes. Would I return myself? No, probably not.
On an early morning in LIC, I stopped by for a quick breakfast here. First of all, the space is huge with lots of seating. There are even people doing work here in the afternoons. I ordered the Worth It Bagel ($16.75), which is their lox bagel with all the works although I skipped the capers on mine. My bagel was ready within minutes and I was on my way. The bagel is hefty and was enough for two meals. They also spread a good amount of cream cheese from both sides sandwiching the lox, onions and tomatoes. This is a delicious bagel amongst so many bagel spots in NYC. It's too bad their locations are not the most convenient for me, but definitely would recommend if you're in the area.
Rating: 7/10 Date Last Visited: 1/19/2026 I ordered the Worth It bagel ($16.75). The bagel contained cream cheese, lox, capers, onions, and tomatoes. They gave a generous serving of the lox, and it went well with the cream cheese and everything bagel. The bagel was a bit too crispy in my opinion, but the overall bagel sandwich was quite good as all the ingredients went well with each other. Compared to the top bagels in the city, Utopia is a bit lacking, but still very solid. There's very few bagel spots in LIC, so this is a great addition to the area. Overall, I would recommend this place if you live in LIC and want bagels but don't want to travel into Manhattan.
As a native queens resident, utopia has been a staple for our family for years. It's so amazing to see them expand into other locations! This location is really comfy and homey, all the decor feels like a beautiful homage to queens. Had the cheech on sourdough bread which I ate in two seconds, sooo goood.
Came on a busy Sunday for a morning pick me up. Def packed but they're moving quick and constantly making fresh bagels. It was def too packed for seating, the standing waiting was already getting a little crowded so we just took it to go. Probably took around 10 min to get everything ~ For a busy Sunday, we weren't bothered. The kitchen is moving and packed, they're honestly killing it :)) We grabbed 2 iced lattes and 2 bagels. Actually loveddd their coffee, needed the extra shot of espresso and they delivered. Got a Lox bagel, added cucumber slices. Also got "The Freak" - Bacon Egg Cheese with Hashbrown and Jalapeños The actual bagels were great, good texture and bite. The lox was fresh, I'd ask for less cream cheese next time but if you love a good schmear, I feel like they do a decent one without it being a blob. It looks like the Lox layer is missing but it was PACKED in there. The Freak was yummy, the jalapeños and hot sauce really added a little extra and eggs were made well.
If only you could smell the good toasted bagel smell in the area from a block away through my video!!! You can never go wrong with Utopia Bagels!!! NY bagels are the absolute BEST!! It's probably in the water! There are so many bagel options and choices for topping. Best part is you KNOW they are fresh. I'd definitely return to this location or any other Utopia Bagel in NY. *This is NOT the location with the giant bagel pizza*
A yummy bagel spot in the neighborhood! There is plenty of seating inside and the lines moves SO quickly. I got a toasted everything bagel with low-fat scallion cc and well done bacon. My husband got a toasted sesame bagel with low fat cc and well done bacon. There was a good amount of cc on each bagel and bacon was super crispy. I wish the everything bagel seasoning didn't fall off during toasting bc there was so much seasoning on the bagels! It's cool you can see them baking the bagels as well, it's all open kitchen with glass. Would def go again!
Service was friendly, place looked nice and lots of options to choose from. Unfortunately they got my order wrong. I ordered whole wheat and got a plain white bagel.
Utopia bagels has the best bagel sandwiches I've had in a very long time. There's plenty of space to sit, the ordering process and customer service is impeccable and the ingredients taste fresh and come out hot. I highly recommend eating here.
This place was such a big hype when it first opened. Videos on Instagram showed that there was line down the street on opening day. I came here recently to try their Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on an everyday bagel. It was around 2pm and the bagel was warm and soft like it was just made. Surprisingly, I got a decent amount of eggs. But they gave me 2 thin slices of Taylor ham and a slice of American cheese. It was very good but for almost $11 it was an expensive breakfast sandwich. I would have stayed there to eat but all of their seating was occupied. It's a nice big space inside with seats/ tables and barstools. They do have some competition from Pumperkickel Bagel around the corner but Utopia Bagels is open 7 days a week and I believe that Utopia does have the better bagels. I'm looking to order some bagels from here for my next company luncheon.
Awesome experience. Good ambiance on a Nice Saturday morning. Egg everything bagel with scallions cream cheese. There is a pac man game for you or kids to play while in line. The vibe is young and energetic. Open design with a cool look into how the bagels are made through a glass wall. Bagels are big and fluffy. We will come back for sure

Utopia is always on the list of best bagels wherever I look, so I finally decided to give it a try. I got the egg everything bagel with egg and salmon, toasted. The bagel was good but nothing too spectacular - it was soft enough and the flavor was good, although my addition of salmon really overpowered the flavor lol. On its own it was also decent. read more
Got "The Cheech", which consists of sausage, egg, cheese, hashbrown & avocado. Hearty breakfast sandwich split between two adults. I enjoyed the Utopia bagel man machine (works like pac-man) while I waited for my food. This is a pretty spacious bagel house. I enjoyed the large lounge chairs as I looked out the window. read more

Bagel. OKAY. The Everything Bagel actually tasted GOOD but the Schmear was spread a bit thin. This is UTOPIA'S newest location with a fourth Shop opening in MIDTOWN soon. EXPENSIVE. read more

First time in New York and we heard amazing things about this place. And they were all right! This place was absolutely amazing I ordered a cheddar and jalapeno bagel with scallion cream cheese and it was amazing!! I also ordered a coffee and have never in my life tasted such good coffee. I never really liked the taste of coffee and covered it over with sweeteners, come to find that I just wasn't having the right kinds!! I also got decaf and it was amazing! The guys at the counter were super nice and helpful. The overall environment was cozy and welcoming . Will be going back to bring some bagels back home. read more
Serviceable bagels in LIC. Have been here twice. Lots of seating inside which is nice. Bagels are generally quite fat and have a nice fluff/chew to it. However, both times I've gotten the bagels toasted for a sandwich it inevitably gets burnt bits which is annoying. Most recent visit got The Freak ($13.51) and The Worth It ($19.26) since I had an Uber Eats gift card. Both were fine, but certainly not on the cheap side. All-in-all, would go back if I had a bagel scratch, but certainly wouldn't go out of my way for them. Plenty of other bagel shops in the city, but I'm still happy there is a bagel shop in LIC. read more
mid bagels with mid ingredients at a pretty steep cost. got the worth it which i didnt feel was worth it. ingredients didnt taste fresh or remarkable in any way and they burn the bagel but some are into that. most confusing was how long they took to make my order when i was the only one there and sandwich was also not made that well with capers sprinkled on at the end and cream cheese everywhere read more

Utopia bagel is a great addition to the neighborhood. Bagels were something we were severely lacking in the part of Long Island city. Utopia filled in that gap nicely. The ambiance and atmosphere is very clean and modern. It's also very efficient. Classic ordering on the right and pick up on the left. Both with a good amount of space for people to queue. There was a wide variety of bagels to choose from. Pretty much all the typical flavors. Same with the cream cheese. Pricing is your average price nowadays. I ordered the sausage egg and cheese on a toasted bagel and that ran me about $10 ish. Bagels were good. Nice and chewy. It was dense and flavorful. The exterior had a good crust as well. It was slightly smaller in size than what I expected for some reason but delicious bagel all around. read more
very very good bagel , the price point is pretty high though so that's why it's 4/5! the food: both hot sandwich bagel and lox were great. i think the toppings aren't that much for the price , like the lox bagel comes out to almost $15+... but the bagel itself has a great crust and chewy interior. i ate the other half the day after, and it's stlll the same great texture. the space: it's pretty big but seating is by the door and it gets veryyyy cold lol the service: not memorable read more
After months of anticipation, Utopia is finally open! A bagel store was much needed in the neighborhood (love rollin bagels, but it's not really a place to grab a dozen dry unsliced). As a local, I'm happy I won't need to order from Brooklyn Bagel in Astoria anymore. I visited at 9 AM on a Saturday and the line was short/quick. Got a rainbow bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese, and an everything bagel to eat later. The scallion cc is fire!! The bagels are smaller than Brooklyn Bagel's, but they're fantastic and I will be back again and again. read more

Wow, recently opened and all the rage and well worth the wait. Day two we waited 13 minutes to order, much shorter than the day before. Within 7 minutes we had coffees and another six minutes we had four bagels and a cookie. Total experience to get food and eat was 25 minutes. Lines out the door and down the block for hot and fresh New York bagels. Smells are amazing and the line seems to move. Right in Jackson, just down the street from the food hall and the Aloft Hotel. Open 6am to 4pm everyday. The everything was delicious and the veg cream cheese is fluffy and chunky. The cheech sandwich is a huge bite but good. Not quite as savory as you expect which is probably a good thing. We got a French toast with strawberry for later. All in with four bagels, one cookie,one energy drink and two coffees was $58. read more
The omelet platter is a great value. In addition, it comes with a bagel or toast. I ate at Utopia Bagels. There are tables, couches and bar seating. The line moves quickly and staff are very friendly. The food was prepared fresh to order and very well. read more
This location opened up in the area, decided to give them a try. The space is beautiful, clean and big - you can also see them making their fresh bagels. It was fairly busy, but didn't too wait long to order, and was called in about 5 mins. Iced coffee and whole wheat everything w/ scallion cream cheese. Bagel was good, a bit salty but still good. $15.50 for a bagel and large iced coffee, I guess that's standard these days! read more
I've heard such good things about Utopia Bagels that my expectations were high when I heard they were opening up a location LIC. Unfortunately, I was let down by the quality of their food. The bagel was a little tough and there was not enough scallions in the cream cheese. It wasn't a bad bagel but just compared to other "New York Bagels" it wasn't great. The food is also expensive in my opinion. The reason I only got a bagel with cream cheese was because a bagel with Nova salmon or white fish salad was going to cost closer to $20!!! $6 for a bagel with cream cheese was already enough for me. The space itself is nice though. I like that you can watch the bagel making process and there is plenty of space and seating. There wasn't a huge line at 9am on a Sunday but either way the line moves pretty fast. Overall, didn't live up to the hype and it won't be my regular bagel spot but it is convenient if you live nearby. read more

Hyped up launch of Utopia Bagels - probably the new king of Bagels in the LIC Queens Plaza/ Court Square-ish area :) The space was much bigger than I first thought and featured ample amounts of seating ! I came the day after their soft opening and it was very busy at 8am on a Sunday ... though the line moved very quickly and our name was also called soon after Ordered the blueberry cream cheese on a rainbow bagel (which is a dollar extra but I think it's purely for cosmetics? Couldn't taste the difference) as well as a nova spread on an everything bagel. They were extremely generous with the blueberry cream cheese and nova spread , hopefully when I come back it wasn't just a grand opening mentality :) Nova spread was a tad too salty for my liking, but blueberry cream cheese was a hit for me since it felt softer and whipped. but overall both bagels tasted great , will be coming back for more read more
Ordered take out. 4 stars for the food 1. Egg bagel w/ veggie cream cheese, + jalapeños, & tomatoes: the egg bagel was the perfect texture, cream cheese was smooth but could have more veggies in it, glad I did add ons. 2. Onion bagel w/ white fish salad, toasted, + jalapeños, tomatoes, red onion: white fish salad was delicious! My bagel was a bit tough, probably toasted a little extra. However still enjoyed this combo and already want another. 3. The Freak: bacon egg cheddar jalapeños hash brown hot sauce. I added tomatoes and onions. I did not taste the hot sauce in mine but over all filling sandwich. Lot of egg and bacon in mine. read more
I'm just visiting the area, but I hear there has been a lot of excitement over the arrival of this new bagel shop to LIC. First, I was really impressed when I walked in with the spaciousness and welcoming seating areas in the space. I had ordered in advance (their website directed me to UberEats for ordering for pickup), and my order was waiting for me when I arrived. The Staff were pleasant. I ordered three bagels: Onion bagel with vegi cream cheese, tomato and onion; Egg everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and tomato; and Build your own Nova sandwich on an onion bagel with low fat cream cheese, tomato and onion. Egg everything with jalapeño cream cheese - my dining partner really enjoyed this, saying that the bagel had a nice texture and the jalapeño cream cheese was excellent. Nova sandwich - pretty pricy on the one hand (over $18), but, on the other hand, a large serving of Nova lox on the sandwich. My dining partner enjoyed this and did something they rarely do - usually they will eat half and save the other half for later. In this case, they ate the entire thing and enjoyed it. Onion bagel with vegi - This was mine. I think the bagel was toasted perfectly - nice light-brown color and the outside had a nice crunch. I found the bagel inside overall to be a bit chewy though. Overall, a good bagel, but very chewy. We all noticed that they put cream cheese on both halves of the bagel, which is nice. Also. One of their nearby competitors charges $1.50 for tomato slice and 50 cents for onion. Here, each is 50 cents, which is much more reasonable. read more
