Best bagel I've had in midtown east... cream cheese was perfect amount and had spread beautifully!!! Small but sufficient outdoor seating, in front!

Probably the best bagel place on the upper east side. Whether traditional, sandwiches or minis, its all good. Expect a line, but it moves quickly.

One if my favorite bagel places. Fresh bagels, good lite scallion cream cheese an I always get a 1/4 lb of whitefish salad on the side. Its a nice blend if smoke & fish without bring too salty.

Their bagels are way better than H&H! Good coffee and egg sandwiches too.

It's not like I'm the biggest fan of bagels, but the toasted bagels w/ cream cheese or butter are great! If you don't want too much cheese, ask for less, because they certainly aren't stingy with it!

Really great bagels. Shows why NY kicks LA's butt when it comes to bagels. But be warned - very high in calories, like 600 calories per bagel!

The Whole Wheat Everything Flagel with Lox Spread is the way to go. (You wouldn't think bagels are so big until they're flat!)

Good food and service. Good bagels, soup, tuna, turkey and turkey burgers. Worth the slightly expensive prices.

Recently renovated. Clean and welcoming. Bagels still excellent, and indoor seating restored.

Good bagels, though the staff and the dried out lox in the display case are a little off-putting.

They take cards and have a million awesome choices but they seriously rush you and the employees gave me ordering anxiety.

The tofu vegetable cream cheese is so much more amazing than it sounds. And I HATE tofu.

They list the ingredients for "LEO" in the wrong order.

Salmon cream cheese. Seems so fresh, normally the idea of whipped fish freaks me out.

Smoked salmon and cream cheese or ham, swiss cheese and eggs. They are simply delicious. In my opinion, it's better if it's toasted.
David HahnAugust 17, 2013
First visit in several years. Its service and lox don't compare favorably with H & H's.
