"This small chain of New York bagel shops in Brooklyn and Manhattan turns out bagels with lots of chew, perfect for an egg and cheese sandwich or good enough on their own. Breakfast sandwiches are available in myriad forms, including those with turkey bacon, asparagus, and chipotle-bacon cream cheese. Expect a line that goes out the door on weekends, with a selection of inventive bagels — egg everything, pumpernickel everything — visible in a row of stainless steel baskets, that is regularly replenished." - Robert Sietsema
"Walking into Bagel Pub in Crown Heights on a Saturday morning can be overwhelming. The folks behind the counter are simultaneously slicing bread and taking names, probably with an Ariana Grande song from 2010 blasting in the background. Once you taste the thick bagels, you’ll thank yourself for pushing through. Exceptional spread options like za’atar cream cheese aside, the airy bagels from this Brooklyn mini-chain will bring you more joy than at least two or three of your current friendships. And even though it gets busy, the bagels typically come out piping hot." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"A trip to Bagel Pub on a Saturday morning is a Crown Heights rite of passage, and the crowd, discussing their Friday nights at the tables outside, or waiting in a line just to get through the door, can be overwhelming. Inside, the folks behind the counter are simultaneously slicing bagels and taking names, patrons stand in two separate lines glued to their phones, and an Ariana Grande song from 2010 will probably be blasting from the sound system. But once you taste the thick bagels, you’ll thank yourself for pushing through. Exceptional spread options like za’atar cream cheese aside, the airy bagels from this Brooklyn mini-chain will bring you more joy than at least two or three of your current friendships. And even though it gets busy, the bagels typically come out nice and hot. photo credit: Kate Previte" - Willa Moore
"I observed a dispute at Bagel Pub's Crown Heights location over leftover food: a local, Ted Rao, has been digging through the shop's trash to collect what he calls 'perfectly good' bagels to redistribute, while manager Chris Kotsis says Rao has led to him being ticketed three times and, allegedly, has been mixing leftover bagels with wet food scraps and cleaning chemicals in the trash to deter collection." - Luke Fortney
"This neighborhood bagel spot, which has locations in Crown Heights and Park Slope, has an extensive selection of flavored cream cheeses, including bacon cheddar and tofu. Sandwiches, smoothies, and other deli items round out the long menu. Order online." - Carla Vianna, Eater Staff
