Bagel Joint

Discovered Bagel joint from the park slope farmers market. I was so excited to check out their storefront. Bagels were delicious as always. I got the Tuna Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Gochughang everything bagel and a few other bagels to go. Tuna bacon was excellent though a bit salty. Service was amazing, everyone was very nice and they even brought me water while I was waiting for my sandwich.

TLDR; get the bagel and cream cheese separately and eat them at home. The bagel sandwich has good concept but needs a lot of improvements for $15. Especially when you have to wait at least 15 minutes on weekends. We recommend the gochujang bagel and duck egg sandwich that has slight savory taste. To the owner: there were blue plastic on both of the duck egg bagels we got. The bagel sandwiches need way more cream cheese than what we got for $14. There was too little cream cheese and salmon. I was honestly very disappointed and upset. They need to hire one more part time worker on weekends to clean the tables, refill napkins and tell customers which items were sold out by the door etc. The tables and chairs are so cute but need to be cleaned! Also, for some reason it is very smoky inside the shop. We would only come back for the special bagels but probably never the sandwich again.

Bagel Joint’s Asian inspired bagels definitely piqued a lot of interest and I had to try. The shop is trendy and clean and the staff were all very friendly. The person taking orders was eager to explain the menu, give suggestions, and answer any questions even though he was very busy. The cashier kindly thanked me by name on my way out. I ordered a tuna BEC on gochujang everything and the St Marks. The BEC was nice and crispy and overall the sandwich was good, you wouldn’t notice it’s not real bacon. I will say it did get quite salty after a while. The St Marks was so fresh and the wasabi cc had a great flavor. Would definitely get again! The bagels were crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. Their unique flavors were a bit masked by the filling but on their own you could taste the gochujang and miso. For their first day they seemed to be running very smoothly! They ran out of a few things but I’m happy to come back to try them on another occasion.

Really really good bagel. One of the best I’ve had in Brooklyn. The operation is a mess, though. Takes forever to get a simple order. They’re constantly sold out of popular items, but the teller doesn’t know it. Had to ask to have my bagel sliced. No one refills the water. Hope they figure that stuff out, would love to make this my new go-to because the bagels really are that good.

Delicious bagel! I got the st marks - first time trying wasabi cream cheese and smoke tuna and it's so amazing that I also got the wasabi cream cheese to go. The pastries are the hidden gem - bought knish and rugelach to go and love it. The store is very cute and cozy and the staffs are very welcoming!! Will definitely come again!

As a fan of Bagel Joint from the farmer’s market, I was so excited to attend their soft-opening a few weeks back. These bagels continue to amaze me! They have such creative bagels, schmears and sides (egg creams, rugelach and babka). My zaatar bagel with scallion pancake cream cheese was excellent. I tried a bite of their tuna bacon and was blown away. I’m telling everyone I know about this place and I can’t wait to become a regular.

Something extremely special is going on here. The combinations of flavors on display at Bagel Joint are so elevated and inspired. I live a block away and go nearly daily. Nothing I have ordered has fallen short of fabulous. My favorite is the St. Marks. Greenpoint is blessed to have this brilliant bagel spot. Don’t sleep on the sweets! The rugalech is the best I’ve ever had.

We heard about a new bagel spot that had just opened, so we excitedly made the trek over from Queens to try. At 11am on Saturday, this place was already packed out the door with a line forming towards the end of the block — must mean it’s good! We waited, eager to get our hands on a bagel sandwich. To our disappointment, the bagels did not live up to the hype, the 45-minute wait, or even the price point. I figured they’d keep up the churn of fresh new bagels, given the large crowds that’d show up, but upon ordering, we were told that a lot of the bagels were sold out already — bummer. The bagel itself was stale, hard, and dry. For nearly $20, I expected a fresh bagel, but instead was handed a subpar sesame bagel (with very little sesame topping) used for a sloppily made bagel sandwich. The whole operation seemed chaotic as I could see staff were frantically making sandwiches and, unfortunately, also making mistakes to multiple orders. Presentation-wise, the glass display case of the ingredients was very disorganized. Other things to note for the owners: the half-melted ice bucket should probably be a bit more discreet along with the cold brew that’s stored in the plastic jug. I understand it’s a brand new storefront and everyone is learning, so I want to give the team a benefit of the doubt. But for the relatively high price point and expectation to deliver quality bagels in NYC, I wanted to see (and taste) more.
