WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT UPPER EAST SIDE
Finally a real bagel shop on the Upper East Side! These are authentic NYC bagels — chewy, dense, perfectly baked. The scallion cream cheese is incredible.
We stop here every time before going to Central Park. The everything bagel with lox is the best I've had uptown. Staff is always friendly.
I work near Lenox Hill Hospital and this is my daily breakfast spot. Fast service, amazing bagels, and the cold brew is perfect. Can't recommend enough.
Took my kids here before The Met and they loved it. Great vegan options for my daughter too. The Beyond Delight sandwich is surprisingly good.
Moved from the East Village and was so happy when they opened uptown. Same quality bagels. The Triple Crown sandwich is massive and delicious.
Best bagels on the UES by far. I've tried every bagel shop in the neighborhood and nothing comes close. The cream cheeses are all house-made.
