Long standing cafe offer baked goods, sandwiches, and coffee. Very nice staff. Gets busy.

Wholesome vibe you can’t get much anywhere else.

Great food, excellent NYC vibe. Easy going and the shop next door is awesome.

I got a porscuto classic panini and it is my favorite item on the menu!

I love this place. Great to stob and grab a coffee, pastry or sandwich.

The cuban sandwich was on piont the people were great

Great bagels and great coffee.

Classic Coffee Shop on The Upper West Side of Manhattan!!!

Bagel is the best

Very good 👍 service

Good as advertised!

First time been here. Im a bit confused with the isle, i asked 1 of the associates, her name is DESTINI L! Omg ! She’s soooo nice ! She helped find all my items , she even told me to grab the item before she bring me to the next item . And she also helped me take a plastic and helped me grabbed 10 tomatoes, after the last item, she asked me if i still have any other items or no? I said im done , she said ,” Great i’ll check you out” All associates in this store very helpful, one of the giy next to the nuts section saw us looking for somehing, he offered assistance. Thank You Destini ❤️

Picked up pastrami, rye bread and knishes to bring home to my dad. He was over the moon I brought a piece of "NYC" to him.

E stato il mio primo Bagel, e devo dire davvero buono. Zabar's è un isitituzione del Upper West Side, e affianco al supermercato storico c'è il bar che fa i bagel al momento, più altri prodotti. Ho preso un onion bagel con lox e cream cheese, più pomodori e capperi e da bere una root beer. Il panino era super imbottito e molto valido, la root beer è stata la migliore di quelle provate a NYC. Ho speso 22.5$ che è ok con i prezzi della città Consigliato

Es impresionante la gran variedad de productos que ofrecen para desayunar. Tienen muchas cosas caseras espectaculares y a buen precio. Nos ha encantado.

Lo avevo letto consigliatissimo sulla guida lonely planet , appena arrivata all'albergo ho scoperto di averlo a 2 passi e ovviamente l'ho provato subito . Ampia scelta di dolciumi tutti buonissimi e il bagel, che dire , con soli 12 dollari ho pranzato a giro per Manhattan .

The Best bagel 🥯 I've ever tried.

Known for both their Zabar’s classic nova on a bagel of your choice but lots of great items on their menu like the BEC on a Kaiser roll, panini’s, and very solid coffee selection including their Vietnamese cold brew. Big fan of the Vienna roast cold brew as well.

My go to spot on the upper west side for a great bagel and even better Babka.

Super fresh and tasty options. The coffee is fantastic. Not sure why it’s world famous, but I would skip the knish.

I have been here so many times and I just can't remember to take photos of my food. Overall, I love Zabar's. The Nova is the best in the city and I would put the Ameracano against any other that I have tried in the world. 10/10 for everything. Try other menu items and don't stick to what you always order, you will thank me.

Zabar’s is a top notch family owned deli and is one of our favorite places to stop when visiting NYC. The store has an impeccable cheese selection and one of the best coffee selections you will find.The cafe side has a great menu to choose from with lots of different bagel options. The bagels that we had were decent but the pastries were incredible. Would recommend it if you are visiting NYC!

Standard nova lox and house bagels, cookies, and other deli staples from the cafe. The Cuban sandwich is seriously underrated. You can spend all day (and all your money) at the market.

everything’s delicious and they are so kind

I really like the Reuben Panini here, it's delicious! However, one downside is that this place closes very early.

Zabar’s the grocery store is famous but have you tried their cafe?! Its AMAZING. More specifically it’s got the top 3 best bacon egg and cheeses in NYC. You wouldn’t think it because they have their delectable pastries and coffees and soft serve ice cream staring at you but trust me, order the the BEC next time. It’s absolutely tasty and perfectly cooked. The roll is Kaiser and the bacon is crispy and the eggs are scrambled, oooooooo baby!

Been here almost everyday of my stay in New York City and I highly recommend coming here. The people who work here are very nice and calm, the food is good and it’s a 15 +- min walk away from central park in case you want to have your breakfast or lunch there.

Love this place. Their Nova Scotia smoked salmon is great. This is an iconic store.

The coffee and BEC on a kaiser roll is INSANE! Traveled all the way from Mexico to enjoy it. Will always return!

Bagel with smoked salmon was decent. The actual bagel itself was pretty good. The rest was okay

4/5 Classic Nova

4/22/26 first time here, got an egg sandwich, it was really good. Coffee good too.

빵 정말 질기고 딱딱함 케이퍼 맛이 강하게 느껴짐 크림치즈 너무 맛있음 괜찮은 연어베이글

A very New York experience in the sense that the service was mostly gruff and unfriendly. But then the bagel with cream cheese was one of the best I've had in the city, and the coffee was also fantastic. Definitely would put up with the service for the food.

Good coffee ☕️ and good blueberry muffin. The apple turnover was not that good.

excellent chocolate babka, some of my favorite (get it warmed up). I’ve had better Bagel and Lox Sandwich elsewhere.

good

Many choices. Fish, breads all excellent. Prepared food depends on your taste. Okay for me, but not always great. Very expensive and fend for yourself environment!

They have the best apple strudel’s and salmon bagel. Also they have very good coffee.

I can't believe I'd never tried a bagel and schmear from Zabars until they recently had an anniversary deal. Man, I've been missing out! Usually, I'm a fan of veggie cream cheese, as it gives a good crunch; but their veggie cream just is meh at best. The way to go is the everything bagel with regular cream cheese. I was initially excited to see that they also serve Vietnamese coffee; but it was just regular iced coffee with some condensed milk. Wouldn't come back for that coffee; but will for the bagels.

Pros: Great smoked salmon, a perfect light schmear of cream cheese, and top tier Upper West Side vibes. Cons: unimpressive stale bagel, and too much tomato.

Can be a wait so don’t delay, get in line. Bagels and coffee are top notch.

Got a knish to go, and for all intents and purposes, it was just fine. Rewarmed to order, nicely spiced, but nothing to write home about. Probably won't be back for another.

Historic cafe and shop; food was average, neither here nor there. Good atmosphere as it felt truly classic (as expected!)

The place was very dirty. I ordered an egg burrito and it was cold in the middle. I felt that the employees are not being paid enough and are not very motivated. Seems to be a bit overrated.

I wanted to get a beacon egg and cheese on a croissant with no cheese, but they were premade on a roll and you can’t make any changes.

I went here twice first time the food was good, but never and I mean never get the prepackaged sandwiches they are gross and they will not warm them up for you, selling a "grilled cheese" that was ungrilled and not melted in anyway, a simple cheese sandwich for $11 is a scam if I have ever seen it. Also the packaged corned beef was sweaty and overall disappointing.

I don’t come to this area usually, and it’s annoying that the kitchen closes three hours nearly before Zaabars closing. You can’t really grab anything hot to eat or drink.

Ordered a nova bagel and got no lox :(! Paid almost $20 for tomato, bagel, and cream cheese. Disappointing at the lack of attention!

It's a joke that on Saturday at 7 p.m. in downtown NY you can't eat because Zabar's is closed. We came from New Jersey specifically and saw the doors closed.

I ordered a whole wheat and tofu. Got plain and cream cheese. They made a big deal out of fixing. Never going back

I ordered soup and it came with a bialy which was moldy. Horrifying that this product is old enough to grow mold and no one noticed at any point before serving it.

I ordered a spinach knish here and it took 10 min for them to microwave it to an inedible temperature and consistency. The pastry was not flaky and the smell of the giant sticky ball of spinach in the middle was bad enough that we threw it in the trash can outside the store. Super disappointed. I love Zabar’s but that was just terrible.
