“Their bagels are not just oversized but literally an explosion of flavor. I had a Sesame Bagel, dark toasted with Scallion Cream Cheese, and literally couldn't believe my taste buds. Although the storefront seems old, this spot is def a gem and takes the cake at number 1.”

“I have eaten at all the spots you seem to have tried and almost all the ones other recommended and completely agree that Brooklyn Bagel Co. is #1. The combination of the right size for me while not losing flavor or the snap from the outside is really hard to match anywhere else.”

“Some of the best bagels I've ever had and some of the best roast beef I've ever had. I have days at a time where I crave the Here's the Beef on a jalapeno bagel... their coffee is incredibly good too for drip coffee at a bagel shop. Can't say enough good things about this place.”
