Dunkin exists, but you gotta park by fire hydrant 🙃It’s 24 & my frozen coffee tastes amazing . 🤩 thank you so much and idk what the bad reviews are about . The guy was nice and welcoming . I just don’t like they don’t have a bathroom or chairs , so now I gotta run outta here .
Clean and excellent service always treat u right
I came on a Sunday afternoon. It was empty. I got a sausage, egg, and cheese and a donut. The cashier was polite and the food came out hot.
this place is absolutely delicious all the time. the people who work here are the sweetest as well. big hot fluffy bagel with an incredible schmear. what more could you want? and so cheap!
Delicious bagel and amazing service! Our family order bagels from David’s at least twice a week and they never disappoint. Service is always good, the ladies are so good to my family.
Best morning breakfast anyone could have. Amazing quality for bagels, when toasted, it is crunchy in the outside but still warm on the inside. If you love CC, the will put so much. Amazing service with amazing people. The lady at the front is always so nice that she has even remembered my order every day I go. In the end, one of my favorite places to go and have a great bite.
Paradise in the shape for a scruffy bagel shop. I have a thing for Everything Bagel with Scallion Creme Cheese, and their blueberry turnovers are delicious, too. The everything bagel is really tasty. Did I mention how great the bagels are here? This place seems popular for delivery and takeout as well.
I haven’t eaten here since I was in Jr. High. But I’m glad to see they are still open for business. I had a turkey bagel sandwich on an everything bagel. It was delicious and comforting. Service and food were great. Definitely love to support small local businesses like this one.
Get their BEC sandwich! It’s the dream sandwich that drags me out of bed, the best in all of New York. Most of nyc’s famous bagels are too tall, imo, for a decent bite into a sandwich, and a bit too chewy for how big they are, but David’s bagel is perfect: still got the excellent chew of a bagel, but retains a softness that mesh with the fluffy eggs and cheese, and a bagel sandwich at David’s is the perfect portion for one person, unlike some common nyc monstrous constructions that tire you out half way through the sandwich. Would add a photo but I just inhaled my sandwich
Tasty bagels. We stopped by on a Friday morning around 10:30 and had to wait for 10-15 minutes to place our order and then get our food. We ordered four bagels - one everything, one salt, one egg, and one plain - all with the garlic chive cream cheese. We had them toasted. The bagels were great- crunchy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside. The crunchy outside did tear up the roof of our mouths a little bit, but it was worth it. The bagels themselves were pretty big in size plus generous spread of cream cheese made them very filling. My wife couldn’t finish hers. The cream cheese was very very garlic forward, like spicy, so if you don’t enjoy garlic or don’t have some gum to chew afterwards maybe steer clear of the garlic chive cream cheese, but personally I liked the flavor. A good bang for buck at just about $20 for the four bagels with cream cheese. I’d come back!
Have you ever had a Flagel ? David's Bagels offer flat bagels to order. It started somewheres in New York City in the 90s. Someone decided to flatten the bagel before it was boiled and place in the oven. To us the flagel is much more chewy in the inside then the regular bagel and more cripsy on the outside too!
David's bagels is a neighborhood staple. Hands down best whole wheat everything bagel. I go out of my way every morning, walking past both Blackseed and Tompkins Square Bagels to get my hands on a nice toasty, buttery bagel and Thai ice tea. Staff is so nice and friendly, and you can tell this place is kept open by regulars. Also very affordable, from bagels to soups to drinks. When you walk in, you order in the back, then move down to cashier.
They are people-friendly with their customers. They have what you want. However, since they are so popular. They tend to run out fast. You will always have to make sure that you are able to get there at a reasonable time for the majority of their locations(like this one for example.) Aside from that the locations vary in size.
Staff is friendly but my hot coffee taste like water
plz less ice
This Dunkin Donuts never surprises me when it comes to lazy service, dirty floors, and always being unsanitary. When I came to this Dunkin Donuts and got a spoon i found that the spoon was dirty as if it had been used before and the workers just left it there. Do not recommend
It's 45 degrees outside, so I order a hot coffee. Does this look like a hot coffee? The label says hot coffee, but there's ice cubes. I understand that substitutions must be made from time to time for various reasons, but on this 40 degree day, who in their right mind substitute a hot coffee for one with ice cubes? The remedy should be to refund the customer, right? Unfortunately that wasn't an option either. The restaurant proactively refunded the hot coffee and charged me for one with ice cubes, generating a 1.13 refund. So now I'm locked out of that option. You think I can save this drink until the weather hits 80?!?!
They had a problem with the scanner like the last four or five times I think you need a new scanner but the workers are good service was good. Disappointed about the app I called up because you guys didn't put points on and the guy almost didn't want to give it to me until I said I want to talk to the manager or his boss. And then he says oh I'll do it for a courtesy this time it's not my fault that you guys made a mistake not once but twice and usually a good promotion they'll probably give you a free donut or something nothing for Dunkin donuts as always
Location needs more employees during early morning hours. 1 employee doing mobile orders and in person customers is not enough. Even though employee was working as hard and fast as possible the wait time was still 30+ minutes which is unacceptable. This is a problem with ownership and not with the actual employee who was clearly overworked and overwhelmed with too many orders. I ended up leaving without my order because I couldn’t wait any longer.
Bagel was good, but sadly that’s where it ended. Got the italian sub, and for a $14 sandwich, expected it to be more than mostly bread. Paid extra for lettuce, tomato and onion which was extremely sparse. The layer of meat was incredibly thin throughout (hard to even spot amongst the bread), and not a hint of oil or vinegar, which was listed. Unfortunately my partner and I each got one thinking it’d be safe to go with an italian sub. Do yourself a favor and stick with the bagels it seems. Would have been cheaper and more filling to buy ingredients and make my own sandwich!
December 10th @ 7:30pm. The worst cappuccino blast I’ve ever had, she put it in the blender, for 1 second and served it too me with the biggest chunks of ice. Re-train this one
They don’t know how to make black tea with milk.is this English black tea with milk.?its Fu*** lemon.!
Waited 15+ minutes to get my tiny wake up wrap and it had bacon I’d specifically asked to leave out.
I had been there and I purchased a donut and in dunkin app I saw that there is an offer going on purchase anything and get a drink free. I purchased a donut day before around evening and the girl was nice to and she gave me a free drink as per the offer without being asking but today I went over there in the morning and there was a different girl, I think she was the manager over there and she didn't gave me my free drink when I asked she said that no we have no offer going on, I showed her in dunkin app and she was like no you need to purchase drink and a donut will be free, I asked her to read and guess what she was unable to read english even she was unable to speak well I don't know how dunkin is hiring these kind of people, I have no problem with dunkin and there food but the service over here is awefulllllll
Came here today and asked for a Butter Pecan coffee. I received a different flavor which I believe was Pumpkin Spice. Told the lady and all she did was shake my cup and hand it back to me without trying to fix it. Slightly allergic to pumpkin so had to throw it out. The same lady kept looking at me when I was waiting to order and did nothing, just kept walking back and forth. Very disappointed.
Normally happy with this store but today I was sold a bagel with cream cheese and jelly on a hard what tasted like at least a day old. Or at least someone ordered it earlier in the day as this was at 1:10pm. My bagel hurt my teeth biting into it. I was so upset that I don’t want to go back. To top it off they didn’t give me a receipt for my meal if they would have I would have sent my opinion to the store directly.
Really rude every time I walk into this location they’re always so busy talking they get annoyed because they have to take the customers and stop their little conversations
Today there were four servers behind the counter and yet there was a long wait because they were helping customers one at a time, all the while socializing and laughing and joking with each other. They are clueless about customer service.
This place is great if you are looking for regular generic coffee. It doesn't fit the family or uniqueness of the city. It's a basic place to go too. Plus service at this one was not friendly. I usually like to get a smile & a goodmorning with my coffee not get it thrown at me as if I was worth nothing. I recommend not to come here.
Snowy night, walked to get a donut. The guy there kept scrolling down on his cell phone near the coffee machine and pretended I wasn't there. Just simply pretended not to see and hear me to get my order. What a waste of time.
