We stopped by this bagel shop while visiting from out of town and were immediately greeted with warm smiles and incredible hospitality. Even as non-locals, we felt right at home. We all ordered the special of the day and were not disappointed, the food was fresh, flavorful, and truly hit the spot. The staff went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Highly recommend this spot for both the food and the welcoming atmosphere!

The best bagels in NYC!! Aandrila was so incredibly lovely and made sure I had the best experience. Lots of love from Australia!

Best bagels in upper east side! Also, the best freshly squeezed orange juices. Favorite cream cheese spreads are spicy tuna, strawberry, and jalapeño cream cheese. If you want to splurge get their smoked salmon too - worth every penny! Great staff who are always smiling ☺️

Best bagel of my life no kidding! A local recommended it so I trust that. But I am from U.K. i got cinnamon raisin with butter. It is can be busy and popular and hectic spot so come earlier if you want to sit and chill

I recently had the pleasure of dining at a bagel restaurant in NYC that offers the best pastrami bagel. The combination of the flavorful pastrami and creamy, rich cream cheese was absolutely outstanding. The bagel itself was perfectly toasted and had a delightful chewiness to it. The pastrami was tender and packed with flavor, while the cream cheese added a smooth and tangy element to the overall taste. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients was evident in every bite. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made the lunch experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this bagel restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal in NYC.

Honestly, the bagels both looked and tasted delicious. I got the hot pastrami and it was so good. I’m a tourist, and the bagel definitely didn’t disappoint. My only concern was during dine-in: it wasn’t busy, but the tables were dirty and felt unsanitary. I’d recommend that the staff stay more on top of maintaining cleanliness. Overall, great food, just needs better attention to the dining area.

Great bagels, but they’re heavily prioritizing delivery orders on the weekend. No orders taken from a long line of customers for 10 min, everyone just watching a dozen delivery orders get prepared. Also may be the most expensive bagel in NYC. Recent interior refresh looks great though so I’m not saying it’s not justified.

Tal Bagels really delivered with their hot pastrami sandwich — absolutely delicious! The pastrami was perfectly fatty and peppered, full of flavor, and served hot just the way it should be. It hit all the right notes for a classic, satisfying deli sandwich. The only reason for not giving a full five stars is the overall atmosphere and service, which could be a bit more polished. But if you’re going for the food, especially that pastrami, you won’t be disappointed. Definitely worth a visit for a crave-worthy bite!

You know what ? Very good salmon bagel but 21$ for a bagel?!!?!? Too expensive in my opinion but freshly cut salmon was good Also too much of a wait time for no reason

Toasted bagel was burnt and the service was super slow. The tofu scallion cream cheese and lox was good. Overall way too expensive.

Super honest review here: The roast beef and bagels looked amazing. BUT It took 20 minutes to get it during a not so busy time. 6 people in line AFTER us. Not a fan of inefficiency. Another guy was ahead of us waiting 10 minutes for coffee. If you have the time, it seems like it could be a great bagel spot. If you are in a hurry or just need efficiency, maybe not the place. The staff was thoughtful and pleasant still… they gave a free treat to our boys on the way out. I think I will go try it again to bring the bagels home on a slower morning and see if the experience is any different. It could have been a training day; I’m not certain. But the non-busy (seemingly) wait definitely affected the experience.

Expensive bagels and employees were unhelpful when it came to identifying prices (which are listed on a difficult to read Vestaboard). Charged me 18.95 for a whitefish bagel listed as 15.95 on the website.
