We made a stop here on our last day in NYC, just a short walk from our hotel, and it turned into the perfect final food memory of the trip. I had the French toast bagel with bacon, egg, cheese, and hashbrown, and it was outstanding. The bagel itself was perfectly chewy, and the combination of sweet and savory worked surprisingly well together. It was one of those sandwiches that feels indulgent but still completely balanced. Before leaving, I also picked up a dozen bagels to take home and somehow managed to pack them into my suitcase. After freezing and toasting them later, they held up incredibly well--still tasting fresh and satisfying, which says a lot about the quality. A simple stop, but an unforgettable one for a very NYC way to end the trip.

Iced latte

A must to start your journey through the city. TikTok put us on to this spot and they didn't disappoint. The options were lowkey endless for your bagel, and of course a bespoke coffee. Can't wait to come again!

Citi fielder
Steven F.

Clearly the place is popular with locals, hectic foot traffic (all the tables taken) and brisk food delivery service. I had the Citi Fielder which was turkey, cheese, avocado, etc on a sesame bagel. The overall experience was ho hum. The bagel was ok (I'll stick with Tompkins Square), the turkey and cheese were folded into a mass which resulted in unequal distribution, and it overall would have benefited from a little salt. If I lived here, I wouldn't go back.

Lox bagel
Nancy M.

So many options! But I love lox so of course that's what I got. They stuff the bagel!! It was messy to eat but perfect. I also got some fresh juice which was refreshing. Great bagel spot!

For what it's worth it's the items I ordered from Utopia Bagels were good, but when you end up paying $18 for a breakfast sandwich and latte, can the price really be justified? I ordered a vegan sausage, egg and cheese on everything bagel and almond milk latte. The bagel was average sized and for the price I imagined it would actually be a decent size. It tasted good despite my disappointment in the portions. The latte was good as well. The staff works hard! The shop was pretty busy for late morning. My order didn't take long to be made and all the staff I spoke to were friendly. The seating area leaves a little to be desired since the shop is so busy you'd wonder why they didn't design it to have more seating. I guess they're use to people grabbing their orders and leaving. I was grabbing breakfast before an appointment so I definitely needed to sit and eat. Luckily I caught the last open table by the exit, before I ended up leaving the shop. I ate quickly since I felt like occupying a table for longer than needed was unfair to anyone else in a similar situation. I recommend coming if you don't mind the prices and taking your order to go.

Make your own egg sandwich
Audrey R.

probably the messiest bagel I've ever had, and I mean that in the best way - here we have an egg bagel with a sunny side up egg, jalapeno cream cheese, and turkey sausage. I asked for ketchup, thinking they'd throw a few packets in the bag, and they slathered that on too. it somehow worked. very well. - the egg was perfectly sunny side up and drenched the entire bagel. it blew all the ~oddly square factory energy~ eggs many bagel places use out of the water - the cream cheese was melting under the toasted bagel. it was more crunchy from the jalapeños than spicy. the serving size of it was wonderful - the bagel itself was a great size and chewy as it should be. the outside which should have that New York bagel hardness was the same consistency of the rest (even while toasted) which was a bummer

Egg salad bagel matcha iced
Kamryn K.

Yummy! Really enjoyed the egg salad and wheat bagel with matcha. I came on a Saturday around 2/3 and the place was packed, but I didn't have to wait too long in the service was pretty fast. My drink came out first and I was honestly really impressed with how good the Matcha is. Heads up, It is sweetened. There was not really anywhere to sit, but it was just me so I was able to squeeze in at the counter near the window, but it might be hard to get a seat if you have a group. Prices were pretty decent and I enjoyed everything will definitely come back to try some of the other bagels and drinks.

Lunch and Breakfast Menu as of 2.3.26

Happened to be in the neighborhood and popped in for breakfast. I ordered the spinach feta egg white breakfast platter which comes with home fries and the choice of a bagel or toast on the side. As a heads up, the only option they had for toast was sourdough but you can ask for it to be toasted with a spread of butter. Overall, the dish was okay, although I was not particularly wowed by it. The egg white omelette was decent in taste, but it felt like there were more home fries than omelette lol! The home fries were nice - thinly sliced potatoes, with slices of green bell pepper. The service was good; I did not wait too long. The place was packed when I went (around 10am on a weekday), meaning there were no seats. So, waiting for the food gave me time to wait for a seat :) I like the ambience. There are a good number of outlets and a bathroom so I could see this being a good work spot. The music was catchy. A good selection of pop! Overall, the place gets the job done. 1) Food variety is good. They even have vegan options! 2) Affordable for the area ($12.95 for my breakfast platter). 3) And great location! I'll have to try the bagels next time!

Vegan burrito
Hind A.

Great bagels and a fun, customizable menu! The olive cream cheese was a standout- super flavorful and something a little different. I also tried the vegan burrito, which had good flavor but was on the smaller side and a bit dry. I love how many options they offer and that you can really build your own bagel exactly how you want it. As for drinks, the cold brew was solid, but the cappuccino didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Three locations and nationwide shipping for bagels made "the old fashioned way." This location in Queens is their original, founded in 1981. My Everything was chewy but not tough, toasted and satisfying to encircle a stacked Hawaiian (ham, melty Swiss, fresh avocado, and chipotle mayo) - hitting all the right notes. An absolute delight upon arrival to be greeted by smiling faces, fast service, and hot food that comforts like mom-made.

The lex and bacon egg and cheese
Minji W.

DOOOOO NOT GET THE LEX!!! There was WAY too much mustard i literally couldn't finish it. The bacon egg and cheese was ok. We ordered for pickup so maybe if u get it super super fresh it's better? But both the bagel itself and the sandwiches were mid or subpar. You're in New York, there's probably a better bagel. I've had better bagels in London this was actually so sad for me

Everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese
Gin Y.

Solid 4 stars. I haven't had good luck with finding bagels that aren't super chewy. On our last day in NYC, we walked a ways to Utopia bagels. It was busy but the staff seemed to manage it well like clockwork. We ordered the everything bagel with jalapeño cucumber cream cheese and ate it onsite. Just like the pizza, you have to eat the bagel then and there for the best taste and texture. The everything bagel was crispy, airy, and seasoned just right. The cream cheese was light, tangy, and fresh from the cucumbers. The combination overall was delicious. I devoured that bagel in minutes. So good. I'll definitely be back when I'm in NYC and in the area.

I didnt realize that Utopia Bagels opened up a shop in Manhattan until recently. I knew I had to go. I lived in Queens for years and UB was a staple for us. Still the same delicious bagels, but now more accessible that I no longer live in Queens.

We visited mid-morning on a Friday and the line was fortunately short…read more INTERIOR: Small shop with limited area to wait for orders. SERVICE: Friendly. Orders completed timely. FOOD: We ordered a bag of 3 bagels-- everything, poppy seed & salt. The bagels were cute, medium sized and served warm/hot. We chose the scallion cream cheese which came in a lil container. Apparently the bagels are not made in the traditional manner, but they were still delicious with great texture and taste. We also ordered the tea (ok) and strawberry lemonade (yum). We enjoyed our bagels on the little countertop area outside. OVERALL: Definitely recommend! A different bagel experience than some other places (as in, those places where you are served bagels topped with cream cheese and other things) but we enjoyed the simplicity of the bagels and controlling the amount of cream cheese.

I've been waiting to try this for quite some time and on my way to work I stopped by quickly…read more Whole selections is not a lot, I still had a hard time making my selection! The staff member was helpful and patient with me. I went with the salted bagel and everything bagel. This week's schmear was spinach artichoke cream cheese and Sabatino truffle butter. I went with the butter and wasn't a bad choice. Will return to try the cream cheese!
