According to my husband who rarely who rarely eats bagel, he can finish one if it’s from Curley’s bagels! My youngest daughter who dislikes fried eggs, tells us I like fried eggs when it’s on a Curley’s bagel. ❤️❤️❤️ We love going to this place. Service is fantastic even if you see a long line not too long of a wait. But wait is always worth it. We try our best to wake up early so we can get our favorite coffee and breakfast bagel ❤️❤️❤️

Food is fresh and delicious. We had bagels with cream cheese...and they don't skimp. Just the right amount!! Very pleased!!

This place recently opened and I’m soo happy they have gluten free bagels! Their service is super friendly, the place looks clean and inviting and the food has not disappointed!

We loved the bagels. My sister who doesn’t like bagels said it is the best she ever had.

What a great bagel shop in Sunnyside, with an awesome team!

Delicious bagels! Excellent service. Warm, welcoming, accommodating and the best ingredients.

A top notch bagel shop. Lots of choices and stellar service. Owner shows up every day and takes time to say hello. Come every week.

Love the standard New York City bagel, but sometimes it could just get a little much. These are light airy fluffy and just delicious. Would definitely recommend visiting if you live in the area or visiting. 10/10 bagels 🥯

Hands down best bagels in queens and possibly in nyc. Very quick service and across the street from a beautiful park

Curley’s is the best bagel spot in town!! Their quality of food and menu is incredible and the staff is always awesome!! Can’t say enough about the great people at Curley’s!!!!

Grabbed a BEC with a hashbrown on an everything bagel to-go, it was awesome!! Really delicious bagels and great service!

Have to give praise where praise is due! Great ingredients! Great bagels! And best of all you very easy on the stomach because of the sourdough no heavy feeling afterwards! Definitely my new go to in Queens!

Truly some of the best bagels I've ever had. My first order was a rosemary salt bagel with butter, and it was so excellent that I had to circle right back into the shop to tell everyone how wonderful it was. Then placed an order for a half dozen to try out some more of the special flavors, like za'atar and Aleppo pepper. They're all excellent. Such a cute shop space too. Will be back every time I drop into the Sunnyside library!

I'm surprised at the negative comments since I find this place amazing. My favorite, a tuna on sesame is so huge I can only eat half at a time. And their tuna is the best in the neighborhood. If you want to try something outside the box they offer an array of creative kinds. With the warm and outgoing staff and the quick service for my money Curley's can't be beat.

Really good spot. I think the bagels are the perfect size. To the people saying these are 'mini' bagels, you need to probably get on a diet or something, no one needs a bagel the size of their head. I usually get their sausage egg and cheese bagel and the sausage is legit and tastes homemade. Everyone is super nice, it's usually pretty quick as well. Definitely the best bagel spot in the area.

Was visiting NYC from PDX and stopped in this bagel shop recommended by a friend. Apparently this a fairly new spot, but it’s got that classic, timeless feel and seems like it’s been there a long time. The staff was really friendly and were patient with ordering for our 3 kids. Can’t go wrong with your order. Ingredients are fresh and delicious.

Curley bagels is the best. The taste is great and the sandwiches are also amazing great places with amazing people. Thank you Curley for everything always a pleasure when I’m in that neck of the woods

These are the best bagels I’ve had in a long time! So fresh, and great seasoning. I had the rosemary salt with scallion cream cheese and the Mak on an everything. Both were delicious! I can’t wait to go back!!

Best Bagels in Queens! Quick service, clean and delicious. I’ve had the Mak breakfast and Lunch sandwich. They didn’t disappoint!

We ordered An Avocado Sandwich and Za'atar bagel with Gochujang cream cheese!Healthy sourdough bagel.We love them and Definitely will Come back again.

If you come to New York and you don't go to Curly's, you're going to be bummed. They have the best bagles ever ! I had the New Yorker, and it was amazing! I will be going there again before I leave New York. There is no seating inside but a great bench right outside to sit and enjoy the city and the best bagel ever!

The best bagel spot in the 5 boroughs!! My daily spot. Owner prides himself on quality ingredients, excellent bagels and great service!!

Lightest most beautiful bagel. Will be back often. Authentic and delicious.

By far, and I mean by far the best bagels in queens. The team is so cool and friendly and the owner is awesome. Great experience and a Queens gem. Rosemary bagel is the best bagel I’ve ever had. Unique options and all flavorful

I dont know why it took me so long to come and try this place out. The bagels are top notch very good quality. Easily best bagels in woodside/sunnyside

Bagels and schmears are fresh and delicious. This is our go to place weekly and we love it!

Had my first bagel from Curleys today. I bought two: everything and jalapeño cheddar. After eating the jalapeño bagel it was so good I couldn’t wait to eat the everything bagel. The bagels are a perfect size: not too big and not small, the schmears are just right. Clean restaurant, quick and organized service. The prices are reasonable. I would recommend this place and I plan to be a regular customer.

Such a great addition to sunnyside. The jalapeño cheddar and rosemary salt bagels are so good. Nice people and pet friendly.

First time ordered by delivery, bagels and cream cheeses were delicious! Have to make a trip over to try these bagels in store next time!

Great bagel spot! The owner, staff service and food are excellent! Sunnyside is lucky to have a business like this.

Absolutely love this place! The bagels are incredibly fresh, made daily, and absolutely delicious—they’re the only ones that don’t upset my stomach. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The owners are warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do. A true neighborhood gem. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for the perfect bagel!

This is our regular go to place for bagels. We ordered bagel trays for a birthday party and it is a hit. Lox Royale is the best!

Got to come in on the first day and everyone was so appreciative. The owners were kind, the bagels were delicious, and I hope they remain here. Loved my bagel ❤️

If I had dollar for every time I went to Curley’s - I would just get more Curley’s with that money.

Wow! As a native long islander, I have to say this is the BEST bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel lightly toasted I’ve had. Eggs are great, bagels are made to perfection, and overall quality is incredible. Amazing people running and one-of-a-kind bagel store. Cheers

Every time I visit NYC, I HAVE to have a bagel. This trip, I chose Curley's and I definitely made the right choice. The spot is clean and bright and very inviting. The owner, Curley, is front and center and spent a good ten minutes with me (while moderately busy) chatting about his journey from film and TV to opening his own bagel shop. We got a variety of bagels, all customizable and plenty of options to choose from. The bagels were delicious!

Freshest bagels in all of queens!! The dough literally melts in your mouth!!! And the bacon and egg is 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

I've been to Curley's 4x now and while my first 3 visits during their first 5 days were not the greatest (i.e. incorrect orders), it was fully rectified after having a candid and open conversation with Anne, one of the owners. She wanted to make things right and truly listened to my concerns. I'm happy to say that my most recent visit was great, the order was correct, and it seems like they're taking feedback from the community regarding the size of the bagel. It does appear a bit bigger and the quality or chew has improved. Anne did also explain the hard work the team puts in to create this bagel: A sourdough bagel that takes three days to produce, made from non bleached flour, freshly made every few hours with no preservatives, no high fructose syrup and triple filtered water and no added dye. Using mostly organic and local ingredients. I know the price is an issue for some but the explanation from Anne helps in understanding the why. Let's all remember that Sunnyside was severely lacking a decent bagel place, so now that we have an excellent one, I'm more than happy to spend my money here and support its success. Thanks again, Anne, Curley, Chef Park, and the rest of the team for all the work ya'll do and for continuing to improve the product!

I ordered the Lox Royale a couple of months ago. It was really good. When I ordered, they had run out of everything bagels, so I had to choose another option, which I thought was not the best match—it was too salty for me. I have tried their iced coffee (I cannot exactly remember what it was!) but I think it was pricey and not the best. This place always has a long line, which is a good sign as it usually indicates food quality. The staff are so friendly. I wish they had chairs/tables inside the place; this is the reason why I gave it 4/5 for atmosphere. But other than that, I like the place!

love love love I have always wanted to have a NYC bagel and this place was awesome. Sourdough base, light, chewy and absolutely delicious! "Curly" was very friendly and happy to listen to out of towners rave about his shop. Having an awning and bench outside was the perfect place to enjoy this perfection! I hope to return 🤩

I don’t enjoy most bagels because they’re usually too big and dense and they tend to upset my stomach. So upon learning Curley’s makes smaller sourdough bagels I was ready to give it a try. Been there at least 4 times since they opened at the start of the month. They got our order wrong during the soft opening but I haven’t had issues since. The bagels are soft, fresh, and oh so tasty (tried everything and sesame). The schmears are delicious (tried plain, scallion, and black truffle - all great but scallion is my favorite). The whitefish salad slaps. Their arnold palmer is not too sweet. Big fan overall and looking forward to trying more of their flavors and varieties.

Best bagels in Sunyside, excellent service, very reasonable price. Must visit this place.

First off, so happy to finally have a bagel shop in Sunnyside. I’ve been coming in frequently to grab a bagel and schemer, but no one told me HOW GOOD THE SANDWICHES ARE!! Not only is it delicious, but so much value for your money!

OMG, I’m so glad I visited Curley’s Bagels. I ordered a closed Lox Royale on a Plain Bagel (gonna order Open-Faced next time) and the bagel was delicious and soft, and the taste was impeccable. Definitely worth the $18 with the toppings used. In addition, their cold brew coffee is not too strong, but still very flavorful. The owners and staff are all so welcoming and friendly — Sunnyside definitely needed a bagel store with fresh top-quality ingredients like this one. All in all, they do listen to feedback from their customers, and so they’ve been adding more variety to the kind of bagels they have as well as cream cheeses as well! I hope that they continue to expand their space as their are only benches outside, maybe small tables would be nice!

Now I will say their bagels are amazing and I love coming here to treat myself and get some bagel for the week. But I am kind of disappointed I ordered a lox royal and there was absolutely no caviar like what? I guess that’s why the price was 16 instead of 18 they should’ve told me and I would’ve ordered another type instead.

These bagels are excellent. Soft, tasty , extremely fresh, and their Bacon egg and cheese with provolone cheese was dynamite. It’s also owner operated and the friendliness of everyone in the store is a great start to the day.

Hands down the best bagels in Queens. Every single time I order in person or delivery they’re unbelievably fresh, soft on the inside with that perfect chew on the outside. The quality is consistently top tier. Their sourdough bagels completely changed the game for me I didn’t even know that was a thing before, and now I can’t go back to regular bagels. I’ve even bulk ordered just to make sure I always have some at home. If you’re a bagel person, this is the spot. can’t recommend the jalapeño cheddar bagel enough….

We stopped by to grab some bagels for us and a friend on our way back home to NC after a weekend getaway. The service was fantastic. The man at the counter gave me my half dozen bagels in a paper bag which ch is normal but o knew they wouldn’t travel well so I asked it he could help me prepare them for a 9 hour drive home. Not only did he package them for travel, he ran out to our car with more cream cheese in case we wanted a snack on the way home. Not many people care enough to do that. This will be our go to bagel stop from now on.

Curley's is absolutely phenomenal. A stalwart establishment which produces tried and true New York bagels. This is my go to breakfast whenever I get home from traveling. We are lucky to have them!

What an absolute gem in the Sunnyside neighborhood! From the moment you walk in, the delightful aroma of freshly baked bagels envelops you, setting the stage for an incredible experience. The bagels themselves are nothing short of perfection—crispy on the outside and perfectly fluffy inside, with a variety of flavors that are both classic and innovative. Every bite is a taste of quality and freshness! (They offer a bakers dozen if you want to take them home for the fam!) What truly sets Curley’s apart is the friendly and welcoming staff. They’re always ready with a smile and eager to help you choose the perfect bagel or recommend their delicious cream cheese options. The management clearly prioritizes customer satisfaction. Curley’s Bagels is not just a place for amazing bagels and coffee; it’s a fantastic addition to our community! This place is a beloved staple for the area’s residents and visitors alike. If you haven’t had the chance to stop by yet, make it your next destination—you won’t be disappointed! Highly recommended!

The best of the best of the best of the best! What an absolute gem! This is a long overdue review/love note 😘 Sunnyside has never been luckier than the day this place opened up. Easily my family's #1 spot for breakfast, lunch, second lunch, brunch, and all of our snack time needs. It's zero surprise that they just won 2nd place overall for the People's Choice Award at New York Bagelfest in Nov 2025!!!! 🏆🥯🏆 My current favorite bagel by far is the apple cider cinnamon gtfoh deliciousness. Super seed, blueberry, and parmesan oregano usually make it into the bakers dozen as well. The avocado sangwich on a black & white sesame bagel reigns supreme in my books 🤤 but I also tend to get hooked in by their seasonal specials (like the classic leftovers with turkey, stuffing, cran, gravy on a rosemary salt bagel 🤌). Can never go wrong with an iced coffee or peppermint tea. 💙🧡💙🧡💙 Bonus points for Mark Curley's love of the Mets and the entire Curley's team's positive vibes from open to close every single day! 🍻 Cheers!

Dejah Ashor

First time in and the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Was not expecting the sandwiches to be so BIG! Bagels are made fresh everyday and delicious. Family was very happy, full and satisfied. Definitely coming back!

Frank Caba

I work all over Queens and I have to say this is an elite bagel spot. I ordered the jalapeno chedder bagel with buttah(kerrygold ftw). The bagel was perfectly made airy yet still a little chewy. The shop looked extremely clean and the sandwich menu looked phenomenal. They will be a regular stop for me from now on.

henry Isherwood

Online ordered. Every option there like lightly toasted. The bagel list is big too. I ordered a jalapeño cheddar bagel with Taylor ham, egg,cheese with SPK. Even the time you want to pickup was a option. Food was hot and in a bag when I walked in n out. Sourdough bagels! Hit the spot for me.

Oleg Zalman

Curley's bagels rule. Great texture, and tons of flavor in the specialty ones. For all the reviews on here complaining that they aren't chewy enough, you can just grab a processed, pre-packaged bag of six from the supermarket instead of looking for a poorly made fresh bagel.

John Gonsalves

Curly’s Bagels has quickly become one of my favorite breakfast and lunch spots in Sunnyside. They do things a little differently here the sandwich options are really creative and go far beyond your typical deli combinations. You can tell a lot of thought goes into how they pair flavors, from their spreads to the toppings. Everything tastes fresh and balanced, not overly salty or heavy like some other bagel shops. The bagels themselves are made fresh daily and have some really unique flavors that you don’t see everywhere like rosemary salt, which has the perfect mix of savory and aromatic. It’s a nice twist on the classic everything bagel. I tried the pastrami cured salmon and it was excellent tender, flavorful, and just the right amount of smoky. You can tell the quality of the ingredients is high, but the prices are surprisingly affordable for what you get. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and patient, even when it gets busy. They take the time to make sure your order is right and they greet you with a smile. It’s one of those neighborhood spots that feels welcoming every time you go. Highly recommend if you’re in Sunnyside and want a bagel that stands out.

I went this morning for the first time! Once i entered, I was immediately greeted with a good morning and a smile on the cashier’s face! Great way to start! Ordering was so easy and simple. They were quick! I was out in less than 7 minutes! And that’s with coffee! Amazing bagel! Honestly the best I’ve had in queens! I got the turkey club highly recommend.

Chasses

We are local’s and Curley’s opening up in Sunnyside was the best thing to happen to Queens! The bagels are consistent the cream cheese is to die for and the breakfast sandwiches never miss. If you want to get a simple or specialty bagel, this is the place to go!

Amanda Andre

Consistently delicious bagels made with love. My husband and I have been picking up bagels here for the past few months and I have yet to try one we didn’t like. The place is clean. The food is tasty. The staff if kind. This is a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

Great choice for specialty bagel As someone born and raised in New York, I’m always on the hunt for a solid bagel spot and Curley’s Bagels caught my attention. It’s a grab and go place, but the inside is surprisingly beautiful and thoughtfully designed. Definitely more elevated than your average bagel shop. When I walked in, I was impressed by the variety. They had tons of specialty bagels, options with avocado and eggs, and even gluten-free bagels, which is a great choice for anyone with dietary needs. I was tempted to try something creative, but I decided to stick with a classic: a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese “my personal favorite”. Lol The woman at the counter was super kind and helpful, and the overall vibe from the staff was warm and welcoming. Even though it was busy, my bagel was made quickly. I also grabbed a coffee, which had a nice bold, dark roast flavor. They offered oat milk, almond milk, and half and half something for everyone. Biting into the bagel, it was everything I wanted: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and packed with generously spread scallion cream cheese full of flavor and fresh herbs. Honestly, it felt more like a luxury bagel experience than your typical deli stop. I spent about $9 for a bagel and coffee, which is a bit on the higher side, but the quality made it worth it. Plus, it was within walking distance from my doctor’s office, so it felt like a great find in the neighborhood. If you’re nearby and want a quick, delicious bite with great service and thoughtful options, I definitely recommend checking out Curley’s Bagels. Enjoy

Best bagels in Queens, NYC. Their sourdough is next level. Not only delicious but also easy on the stomach. Try the MAK and the Rosemary Salt with lox cream cheese. The owners, Curley and Anne, are amazing people. The Sunnyside community is lucky to have them!

This was such a wonderful discovery for great-quality bagels in Queens. Nice shop, friendly service, and a nice variety of bagels. I tried a rosemary and salt with truffle cream cheese, and it was awesome. But it was their Morty Mott that blew me away ! Fried mortadella, egg, and cheese on a toasted everything bagel - Heaven!!

Samra Adanalic

Curley’s bagels are light, fluffy, and super tasty. My personal favorite is the rosemary salt bagel. Their black truffle cream cheese is AMAZING and also super whipped and light. Staff is always really nice and helpful. Great drink selections as well. Perfect place to grab a quick breakfast/brunch and a bagel spot was well overdue in Sunnyside.

Sesame bagel with blueberry cream cheese 4/5 it was good , atmosphere nice

Both the cream cheese bagel and breakfast sandwich we ordered were very good. The outdoor bench seating was a nice addition.

Yes, I am an “Everything Bagel”! And so excited to Finally have Authentic Delicious NYC Bagels in My neighborhood! Reminding Me of the Fabulous Jewish Deli’s Years ago! Enjoyed a Number of The Bagel Sandwich’s…last was a Tuna Combination! Quality! Quality and Quality…Sooo Satisfying! Attention to Details…

I was excited to try this place out, but I’m honestly a little disappointed. Like others have mentioned, the prices of the bagels are expensive considering the size of the bagels (they are much smaller than your standard NYC bagel). I also went in this morning before it got hectic, and they gave me a burned bagel. The coffee is good though and I appreciate that they have simple syrup available for the cold brew. UPDATE: I wanted to give this place one more try and got a chicken salad sandwich for lunch. I’m really impressed with how delicious and fresh the food tastes, and the bagel is not burnt this time! I’m still taking a star off for price, but I really love this sandwich.

I got the MAK, it was tasty but it’s priced about $4 higher than Liberty bagels or Tompkins Square bagels for an equivalent. Almost $20 bucks for breakfast sandwich and coffee is pretty steep.

Sometimes when you’re craving a plain bagel it hits, haha! They carry sunshine gf bagels! No seating, but they opened up the front part with benches for the springtime. Fast service, and good amount of people on a weekend morning!

This spot has a great variety of bagels, and they’re always fresh. My go-to is the toasted Jalapeño bagel with butter—absolutely delicious. The customer service really impressed me, everyone was welcoming and attentive. Prices are a bit on the higher side (around $9 for a coffee and bagel), but for the quality and experience, it feels worth it. A nice place to treat yourself on a Saturday morning.

Was first introduced to Curley’s Bagels thanks to the “Along the 7 Train” Yelp event. I was thankful for that introduction after an early Sunday morning airport run. On my way back I decided a bagel for breakfast was exactly what was needed for my trouble. Upon arrival a parking spot was not in my cards on this particular morning, so a temporary spot at a hydrant was a risk I decided to take. Curley’s had steady traffic, but I quickly perused the menu and decided I would go with the AVOCADO SANGWICH on an Aleppo Pepper Bagel. After some wait, the bag was secured and I scurried back to the car. The Avocado Sangwich with Mashed avocado, heirloom tomato, fried egg, pepitas, pickled red onion, micro pea tendrils, Zhoug sauce was hearty with a fresh earthy taste. I could have used a sprinkle of salt and pepper to seal the deal. Nonetheless I truly enjoyed my bagel selection and might I add, it was quite filling and I had to save 1/2 for later indulgence. Well worth the pit stop on the way home. Just A Note: The specialty breakfast “sangwiches” might be consider a treat because they will run you double digits.

I visited this bagel shop 3 times. Prices are a little high for the size of the bagels they are mini bagels. I payed $4+ for two plain bagels and around $14+ for a sandwich on different occasions. The sandwiches are amazing and creative combinations. The texture and taste are amazing. If you’re in sunnyside and would like to try something new and different I highly recommended. Not my everyday bagel shop for me maybe if I’m craving something new I’ll stop by. Staff is really nice, friendly and good vibes.

First thing I wished for after moving to Sunnyside from Long Island almost 3 years ago was a bagel spot and it’s finally here! The staff is so really nice and welcoming and the owner is so friendly. Happy to see this place succeeding My only criticism is that they are quite pricey for the size of the bagel. Overall their price is pretty standard for bagels but since they’re much smaller than a typical NYC or Long Island bagel it doesn’t make sense

Unfortunately no sitting area. I am not a new yorker, but $13 for 2 everything bagel w/ cream cheese and a coffee, is more than I was expecting with no seating area.

This is a neighborhood spot that I’ve been going to for a handful of times now so I’ve given them a fair shot. Pros: Staff is very kind and sweet! Ordering process is easy and straightforward. Shop is always clean Line is efficient and fast Good cream cheese to bagel ratio Sandwiches are pretty great (albeit a little expensive) Good iced coffee Things they could work on: I’ve tried several bagels from Curleys now and can say that it’s a hit or miss within the variety. Bagels taste better when they’re toasted, giving a nice crust and inside is chewy. Some I’ve tried end up being slightly drier (ie: egg everything) A couple times now I’ve gotten the wrong items in my order. First time was near their grand opening and the line was very long. I figured they may be ironing out kinks in their process. The actual order was still good so I didn’t give much thought. Second time: I got their lox royale on zaatar(toasted), and a plain to go. However when I got home one bagels was the wrong kind. They had given me egg everything on the sandwich and given the cost($18), was a slight disappointment. I could be wrong but It didn’t seem like it was toasted either because the bagel itself was cold to touch when I picked it up. I really wanted to like this sandwich but it wasn’t the bagel I wanted and because of price I can’t justify the mistake. The plain bagel had a nice outer crust but the inside was dry. I do want to continue to support a local spot but due to these hiccups I’m not sure if I’ll be stopping by as frequently. I hope the shop can take these comments and make necessary improvements.

Ok so we finally went to visit this hype and the bagels were soft and little chewy for my husband. For me, they were soft which is what I like. However there are some areas of improvement. I found it hard to see which bagel is what so would love to see labels on the bagel trays and labels on the display window. I did order the jalapeño cheddar bagel and was good in size. Thought it was alright considering how everyone says their bagels are small and expensive for their size. The taste was little tart as it looked like the jalapeño’s were pickled instead of fresh. Cheddar part was just ok not impressed. What I would love to see is just a jalapeño bagel! Just take fresh jalapeños cut in small pieces and incorporate it in the dough! So you get a spicy and jalapeño tasting bagel. I always want jalapeño bagels but not a single bagel shop carries it this way except for the ShopRite bakeries! So Curlys management hope you like my idea and create a new twist to jalapeno bagels.

Tried four different bagels from here. I'm an everything bagel girl through and through, but their everything bagel is SO ridiculously salty it was practically inedible. It's way saltier than the rosemary & salt bagel, which literally has salt in the name?! Also, gotta agree that the size of the bagels is on the small side. Might be a nice treat to come here once in a while, but it's far from the Peter Pan and Bakers Dozen (both in nearby Greenpoint) go-to neighborhood bagel joint that I was hoping for.

To expensive mate . U end up buying two bagels for almost 40$ and I didn't even calculate the coffee. That's easy 50$ for 2 bagel 🥯 and 2 coffees plus tip because you wanna be a nice person. This all should be around 30$ not 50 $ anyway good luck scamming people with this prices . I know rent is high in Sunnyside but cut a bit those prices

I really like the vibes of this spot: friendly staff, good music, food out quick, and cute bench outside to enjoy the fresh air. However I must say, after having tried this place a good 10 times before leaving a review, it could improve in some areas: - I do agree with some reviewers that the menu seems to be overpriced, but it’s a hipster bagel spot, so I wouldn’t have expected anything cheaper to be fair. - The bagels are well packed with the fillings which I love, but my toasted bagels are never warm??? I want it toasted so I can eat a warm bagel, not a cold hard one - especially in the wintertime. I just dug my bagel out from my bag to find it hadn’t even been properly wrapped in the foil:/ it was cold already (time from receipt of food to eating it in my car was a matter of 45 seconds) - I asked for a decaf coffee (I’ve ordered this here many times) and added some oat milk. It tasted so bad, as if it had been made with dirty water. I immediately got nauseous. I asked the nice gentleman behind the counter to please give me a new one. He did, but not before telling me he tasted the coffee and it was fine. That was reassuring - maybe it was the oat milk I thought to myself. But when I sipped it a few more times in my car, it was just no good. Decaf coffee does not tend to taste exactly like regular coffee, but it doesn’t taste bitter and sour at the same time either the way this one did. I couldn’t drink it. Today I ordered a toasted sesame seed bagel with egg salad and a medium decaf coffee (they don’t carry small cups. Only medium and large). Price was $13.88. Not good, not bad. ** I read some reviewers calling these mini bagels. These are not mini bagels. They’re regular sized bagels.

Sunnyside was a patiently waiting for a bagel shop like Curly’s. I go every weekend, and literally every time something goes wrong. It’s a total shame. If you ask for tofu cream cheese - check before you leave. Likely will be incorrect. If you ask for dark roasted, watch them run the bagel through the toaster once. I’ve had to correct over four orders on four different trips.

Darla

$14 for a New Yorker, plus $2 for Rosemary Salt bagel plus another $2 for vegan CC? When substitute CC on the board says 50 cents. Spent a total of $19!! For one bagel! it was good but not worth $19 good. I shouldve bought groceries instead. Won’t be back. Too expensive. not worth it.

I've really tried to like Curly's. I was very excited to support a local bagel shop here in Sunnyside. Unfortunately I just can't. After trying it a couple other times, I gave it one last shot today and got an egg and cheese with avocado, and a sausage egg and cheese. After paying $3 to add avocado it's extremely disappointing when it's brown all the way through. And as long as I had to wait, I assumed everything was being made fresh in the back, but the sausage on the SEC was so hard and dried out it must have come out of a warming tray. This is on par with my previous experiences. The bagels and schmears themselves are good, but they need to work on the freshness and quality of their other toppings. The shop also needs some organization. I shouldn't have to ask the 20 people waiting on their order if they're still waiting to order.

I don’t find this place anything special. I guess the people in the hood never taste good bagels or something. What are these raving reviews all about? Their bagels are salty. Never go for their sandwiches. They make it like a Latin burger; gobs of catchup. This morning, they served stale bagels with a week old cream cheese. Again, they were salty and bitter, cutting my mouth. This place is known for freshly baked goods. If they can’t bake them for the day, can they close the shop instead of being greedy? You know bagels notoriously lose freshness quickly. If they keep it up, reputation will go downhill. Enjoy, folks, while it lasts.

Not great bagels. Don't know what else to say. The shop is quaint and cute looking but the bagels just aren't good. Not very soft and lacking the snappy crust.

After reading the rave views decided to check this place put especially gluten-free bagels. I went on Sunday morning was busy. Just bought the bagel , which unfortunately was a bit dry. I assumed they bake every day as would any bakery? Giving it a miss. It cost $2.80. I get a better and reasonably priced gluten-free option at Wholefoods.

First the good...its a unique tasty bagel sandwich with combos I haven't seen before. Now the bad: The prices are outrageous! And The bagels are mini bagels (these aren't your large NYC baytgels they are smaller). They are so small I need two sandwiches or bagels with cream cheese to be satisfied. Plain bagel is $2 each with no discount a dozen is $24! Add $20 more and I can buy groceries for the week. The price is about double what you should pay. I ordered the mort with no egg. It's $13 (no discount for no egg but extra $2 if you want to add something) med iced was $4...so $18.5 for a bagel and coffee. Those are Manhattan prices not side street of Sunnyside...the place and prices just don't fit our community... Super busy and super loud with no indoor seats when you walk in. They take your order quick then you wait about 10 to 15 min for your sandwich. I tried it twice and probably will only come back when I feel like splurging $20 on a bagel sandwich.

the place is nice!! workers are lovely. the bagels are pretty pricey. the most expensive one i saw was 18 dollars!! i got a plain cream cheese bagel for almost 5 dollars and the cream cheese was WAYYY too salty.i got it for my sister and she couldnt enjoy it. i cant imagine if you added bacon or other salty stuff on top.

23.50 for a medium coffee and breakfast bagel that you have to eat outside on a bench or takeout. No indoor seating.

Awful. Unprofessional I was trying to get an order no one was waiting on me and I saw the owner outside taking pictures. What kind of circus is this Is this guy currently running here is it a professional business or is it a multimedia frenzy to get people into your front door. Disgrace of a staff. How is it that you go in wait about five minutes no one is helping you and the owner is outside and the staff inside is being so unprofessional. Guys go to Long Island city or Astoria for bagels

Wish I could give this place a better rating. They are right by my house and was looking forward to coming here a few days a week. The food was average. It is a new style place, so it has unique bagel flavors, I find that cool. The real issue comes down to size of the bagels and pricing. The bagels are mini bagels. A bagel with cream cheese is $5. All of their specialty sandwiches are insane pricing. Place is clean, and if you are willing to spend well over the value of what you are getting, then it is a solid place.

I ordered a Sesame Bagel with a little cream cheese on it and a coffee, black no sugar. What I was served was not even close to be called a NYC bagel but more like a roll with a hole in the middle. It was interior was light and fluffy not dense like a traditional bagel. The crust was crunchy and not chewy like a New York City bagel. Hey some people will like this but not me. When I go to a place and it has the words "Bagel" in the name I expecting a bagel. But was tick off the born breed true New Yorker was the coffee. I drink it black, no sugar, no milk and this coffee was bitter. The bitter you get when the coffee maker is not clean or from poor quality coffee beans. I paid $8.44 for this WTF food experience.
