This place is awesome. Fantastic fresh breakfast sandwiches. The staff are really nice, and fun to interact with. They are very proud of their product. Prices are great too. They have great healthy products for sale and tasty stuff to for snacks too. Bacon and Egg on a Bagel was awesome.

Stayed nearby for 4 nights and ended up eating here 3 times. Great Pastrami grilled right to order right in front of you - try a Reuben or a Venice burger for under $10. Google says they close at 10, but the shopfront says 24 hours except Sunday morning.

I love this place. Get lunch here almost every day. Delicious deli sandwiches, hot or cold, incredibly quick service, efficient and friendly staff. Prices are very fair given the area, quality, and quantity of food you're getting. 6/5 stars

Working in NYC for a week, I was still operating on UK time. I was looking for somewhere open at this time. Based on not having many 24 hour places, I was a little bit worried, however, I walked in and the 2 guys working there were super pleasant and helpful and we spoke and football (soccer!) I got the sausage, egg, cheese roll and it was delicious! A great balance of flavours. I think that is an independent place, and if it is, those employees deserve the love, they are great workers and I may just go there each morning for breakfast!

I just reviewed in Grubhub but wanted to give some praise here. Great delivery deli that actually listens to custom instructions. Not to mention great food!

We spent a week in New York, and every single morning started with a bagel from Bagel Express. It quickly became our daily routine. Hands down, these were the best bagels I’ve ever had. Not only are the bagels amazing, but the coffee is great as well, and the service is friendly and efficient. Everything about this place made our mornings better. I would highly recommend Bagel Express to anyone visiting New York!

I have been visiting this bagel store for over 11 years on and off when I visit NYC. Unlike all the other ‘viral’ places this one is authentic and great value, the staff are always polite and friendly. The menu is extremely extensive and it’s used by locals always a good sign

That’s a New York bagel! So fast, so fresh, so delicious! I can recommend the blueberry bagel with cream cheese ✅

I want to commend this establishment today for saving me!!! I had to place a last minute breakfast order and they delivered it in under 30 minutes. I have not received any complaints so I'm assuming everything went well. Thank you to the manager who helped me out. Will order from here again!

this is my family’s favorite joint! They take such good care of the locals including the older neighbors in the area. Highly recommend - the bagels are amazing. So are the rolls.

First experience of New York bagels on the first morning of our holiday. Menu was a bit confusing for the inexperienced but the food was great and authentic along with the atmosphere. Lucky to get a table in the window to soak in the sights and sounds on the most incredible city.

I’ve been ordering breakfast from this place for 8 years, and it has never disappointed me. The food is always fresh and delicious, and the quality has stayed consistently great over the years. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and they always have the food ready on time. Highly recommend!

Best bagel in NYC! I ordered a plain bagel toasted with plain cream cheese and an everything bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese. Both were absolutely delicious. The bagels were large, fresh, and had the perfect texture. The cream cheeses were also fresh and full of flavor. This is the perfect spot for any breakfast item you’re craving. Highly recommend!

Germans in NY for 5 days. Went to Bagel Express every morning because they were just soo good! The amount of different cream cheese flavors is incredible. Thanks for providing us with the perfect breakfast bagel every morning :)

The bagels at Bagel Express are superb - not because of the bagels but because of the cream cheese flavors. The jalapeno cream cheese has a decent kick for a change and it's not riddled with vinegary under taste due to jarred pickled jalapenos. I paid $5.39 with tax by credit card for just the bagel.

Bagel Express in Midtown, Manhattan NYC. Very good bagels & cream cheese. Nice variety of flavors. Hot and fresh, thank you!

Admittedly, I came at 11am after the breakfast rush and before the lunch crowd, but the egg everything bagel with avocado and cilantro cream cheese was excellent. Slightly well done and crunchy crust, chewy inside, just the way it should be. Don’t miss this spot.

We've been coming here everyday during our 1 week stay in NYC. I consider these the best bagels out there, delicious, fully stuffed, vast choice of ingredients. They always welcome you with a smile. Muchísimas gracias! :)

Unassuming place looking from the outside, but these were exceptional great bagels! 🥯 Fresh too! We have tried a variety, salmon, eggs and bacon and also a simple blueberry one. The service is amazing too, helpful and easy going person at the counter. I would definitely be here on a regular basis if I lived in NYC 😅 Definitely coming back!

I stumbled upon this delightful Bagel store this morning and was pleasantly surprised. Not only did I meet my broker here, but I also had the opportunity to enjoy a delicious breakfast. The food is positively fresh - a clear indication that this store takes pride in using only the best ingredients. Their variety of bagels is impressive, and each one tasted more mouth-watering than the last. I also appreciated their customer service; the staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome. If you're on the hunt for a great breakfast spot, look no further than this Bagel store. Trust me; you won't be disappointed. This store deserves a glowing review, and I highly recommend you pay them a visit.

This was a quick stop for breakfast, and we are so glad we did! It was quick and easy, and most importantly delicious! I got the bacon and egg bagel with cheese, and my wife got the sausage and egg with cheese. We were both very pleased! We wish we had one close to our house, so we can try the different ones!

dj impulse

My wife and I were craving bagels when we woke up after a long night(it’s NYC, it happens). We found this place was in crawling distance from our hotel, so we gave it a shot. Quick, easy, and got the job done. She had the loaded lox and I had a classic egg & cheese. PERFECT.

No coffee shop! There is no seating anywhere in this establishment or ambience.... although the server is very hospitable and eager to assist you at any moment.

The bagel i eate is not sitting well in ma belly! I think they can do better.

Giving 3 starts for the “fresh juice” in bottles with no date or time or any information, honestly could be anything and for the “multigrain” bagel which is plain! bagel with seeds. I guess if you are a hungry and thirsty tourist it works, but I wouldn’t recommend this place to a gourmet New Yorker who can tell the difference.

I just needed a plastic fork since I’ve been starving for hours and my blood sugar was already low enough, I rushed and went inside to this store and asked for one single plastic fork, they literally asked for 5 cents🤦🏻‍♀️ and since I didn’t have any cents, they didn’t give me any fork. That is the most stupid thing that’s ever happened to me in the city! thank god “just salad”, which was just a few blocks away, gave me whatever I needed! You should be aware of that how small acts will effect your business. I will never think this place is a nice and kind environment whenever I pass through it anymore, while I always remember and keep purchasing things from the stores that have nicer employees and managers. yes, all because of a single fork, tells enough.

Skimpy sandwiches rude service over priced not welcoming to customers this place needs Boot Camp 101 for customer service you walk in they’re not warm. There’s no reception then they will destroy your food or flat out make it wrong then It’s made very poorly and very skimpy Deli guy has no clue what he’s doing properly does not work the grill or knows food properly they guarantee will mess up your order and overcharge you for a bacon egg and cheese price 5.99 to $15 within the price range and every day you can guarantee you will get a different price when there’s a special for 5.99 and a free coffee. They guarantee will mess up your order or roll your sandwich smashed or do something dumb intentionally if you do so much as to even think to add ketchup and mayo to your sandwich they would overcharge you. disgusting

Took about 5-6 min for someone to even acknowledge me waiting to order. When she finally did, I ordered a fresh celery juice. After waiting another 10 min with only one person ahead of me she rang me up and told me it would be $16 when on the menu it says $10. When I asked her, she said because celery is not on the menu?! She should have told me that before making it!! I would never have continued with the order and paid $16 for a cup of fresh celery juice when it’s almost double just cause it’s NOT on the menu?! Honestly that’s ridiculous. Maybe tell your employees to communicate to your customers the price if it’s different than what’s posted on your menu.

While we had been to the restaurant many times over the years. The new ownership is quite rude, food is subpar, and yesterday will be our last time. If you have another choice of restaurants I would strongly suggest picking one of them over Cafe Venice.
