    Very friendly neighborhood spot with tons of regulars! This spot has been around foreverrr, but recently undergone new ownership, so the quality of the bagels aren't the same as what it used to be imo - they're still decent! The menu is pretty extensive and they have tons of other sandwich options, as well as your typical convenient store finds. The place opens bright and early at 6 am and gets pretty busy in the morning, but the service is thankfully quick. Everything is extremely affordable, unlike Manhattan prices. Some days the bagels are fluffier than others, so it's a bit inconsistent, but this place is still my go-to for a quick deli coffee and yummy bagels!

    The bagels here are not bad! Nice crunch on the outside, good chewy flavor on the inside. A little hint of the sweetness, and this is a darn good bagel. I knock points for the mediocre sandwich. The guy behind the counter let me try the whitefish salad which tasted absolutely disgusting. Then I tried the tuna salad which while better, was overloaded with onions. I should not have ordered it because I ended up throwing away a decent bagel when I should have better thought this one out, rather than throwing it out. I recommend this bagel joint to others, but keep it on the breakfast side of things when looking for what to get with it.

    The best on this block! Always busy, so we usually have to call ahead for a quicker pick-up. We get our breakfast sandwiches but never on a bagel (I know I know, they're called Zee BAGELS, we should probably try a bagel someday) and it hits the spot every time. Kinda hard to screw up a breakfast sandwich though, so their eggs are also nicely cooked and the entire thing cheesy to my satisfaction. Always get the double meat, because without it, it's quite a flattened breakfast sandwich. If I had to pick, definitely get the sausage egg and cheese - it's the sausage patty, not the links, phewww. Their breakfast platter is also ginormous! Those pancakes are the size of my face.

    Great little bagel place! It was a bit to crowded for a small little place . But they have you in and out in a snap! They do have a sign 5 people allowed in at a time but ..... I ordered my lox cream cheese on a pumpernickel bagel, very good! My in-laws and husband had the tuna on everything they said was excellent. I definitely will return.

    My go to bagel spot when I'm home now. Consistently good every time. Plain bagel w/ butter& jelly is my new jam. Tried an everything bagel w/ scallion cream cheese too (flavored cream cheese is more expensive). And the iced coffee hit the spot. I bet this place gets real busy in the morning, I don't usually stop by until 9-10am and there's been a line every time.

As far as the customer service goes I wish it was a bit better. The staff aren't the most pleasant. No good morning no acknowledgement of comprehending what you order they just walk away and start the order. Which is why I double check always. I do notice they speak more pleasantly to other customers that come in. Not sure if it's a culture thing or could they be discriminatory but it's a bit unsettling. Food: 3.8/5 I only order the poppy seed bagel and that's pretty tasty. Not to doughy although I do have them take out a good portion of the bread because I like it to be extremely thin. Service: 3 /5 Service needs major improvements , language barriers are also a major factor to consider as they do speak Spanish and their primary language. Ambiance: 3/5 Standard & basic bagel shop set up. Standing & waiting area is basic they have counter tops should you want to stand inside and eat nothing fancy. They do have a wide variety of drinks to choose from and coffee and tea.

I went with their Member of the Tribe which is one of their more popular items. The sliced Nova and toppings were fresh and flavorful.

Good food & friendly service made for a very enjoyable start to the day.

    You can find this location of Brooklyn Bagel at 286 8th Ave, New York, NY 10001 in Chelsea. As with…read moreother eateries in NYC, probably best to walk to this location and forgo looking for the near non-existent parking. I was looking for a breakfast spot close to my hotel near 7th Ave and found a couple of contenders on 8th Ave - I decided to hit Brooklyn Bagel as it showed more reviews. We have Brooklyn Bagel in Atlanta so I'm familiar with the chain - most Atlanta bagels are sub-par, something about the horrible Atlanta water. I figured it was time to sample a location in NYC. This location is fairly old-school, directly on 8th Ave between W 24th and W25th streets. Coming in there was a line but it moved quickly - you go to the back of the shop, call out what you want and move towards the register to pay. I think it took about 7 minutes to get the BKbagel Classic - - smoked Nova salmon, scallion cream cheese, onion, tomato & capers. I asked for it on a toasted everything and it was everything I thought it would be - perfect bite. Service was great, no nonsense but friendly. I sat at one of the long wall counters and wolfed down my sandwich with a cup of Joe. No complaints here.

    Decided to stop in for a bagel during our quick day trip into the City. Knew we wanted a NY bagel,…read moreso decided to go a little out of the way to try this one. This location is loud and energetic when you walk in. Seemingly want to pumped up about buying some bagels haha. The staff was very helpful because we weren't sure what we wanted, but they helped walk us through some options and eventually settled on the classic NY bagel. Cream cheese, salmon, and capers, etc. on the soft, delicious bagel. Also got a blueberry muffin for the kids and they loved that! All in all great experience. I'd drop it down to 4.5 stars just because the loud setting is not really my vibe, but everything else was great!
