On the Grid : Bagelsmith

"A Williamsburg must for breakfast. The staff is always super friendly, the variety is great, and the service is fast even during the morning rush. You’re guaranteed perfectly chewy bagels with a generous amount of toppings (you’ll never get more lox than you do here), and the feel of an authentic and local shop." - Krrb

Very good food but overpriced. I ordered a cranberry muffin and barely got any cranberries. I felt like I was in a scene in the movie Casino. I also paid almost $9 when the sign behind the register says $5.50 for coffee and a muffin. So that's annoying lol. The upside is that the sandwiches are great but again overpriced.

Absolutely love this place - hands down one of the best gluten free bagels in Brooklyn! Deducting one star only because the gluten free bagel costs more but is significantly smaller than a regular bagel :/ (see picture) lots of vegan/vegetarian cream cheese options available as well! i would recommend the tofu scallion cream cheese

Bagel was fantastic and the cream cheese was very good. Overall I enjoyed the bagel and the coffee was very too. I got the sun-dried tomatoes cream cheese. Boy that was good, the added herbs which made it really flavorful. It’s expensive tho. Like in typical bagel shops all the bagels are same price but it differed if your bagel had toppings or not, etc. Also, custom cream cheese are same prices besides Lox but here the cream cheese price depends on the flavor it is.

This place is generally fine and a good neighborhood spot to grab a bagel / sandwich but they really need to fix their toaster. It's getting ridiculous at this point as every time I ask for a toasted bagel the toaster simply chars the inside of the bagel - leaving the bagel somehow both burnt and untoasted / soggy. I have mentioned this to them but every single time I ask for a bagel toasted this is the same result. Be warned.

The man taking orders was incredibly pleasant. My bagel was exactly what I wanted - I added cream cheese to my bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich for exactly the rich texture and flavor I was hoping for. Bagels are high quality and there’s a variety of beverages available. Prices are fair.

We got bagels with cream cheese which were alright. The garlic and herb cream cheese had too much raw garlic or scallions or something that made it a bit less enjoyable than a typical cream cheese of that flavor. Overall the bagel itself was decent though.

Late Wednesday night in Williamsburg, I've just moved to the neighborhood and am wandering Grand Street at 1 AM looking to find, of all things, some yogurt. I hit two bodega-type places, one of which was about to close, and employees at both gave no indication that they had ever even heard of yogurt. I vaguely remembered Bagelsmith, since I pass in on my way to the L train. I was completely surprised to find it open, and was greeted warmly by guys behind the counter. There I found yogurt, in several different forms and flavors, and a whole lot more. I asked an employee what time they closed, and he explained that they are open 24 hours a day. He said their full menu was always available, and suddenly moving to Williamsburg seemed a whole lot better. They had about six homemade soups, sandwiches made to order, and all sorts of other things I was surprised to find at 1 AM. The place was bright, clean, and friendly. After leaving, I managed to drop one of the yogurt parfaits I had purchased about a block down Lorimer. I went back to repurchase another, and the guy at the counter told me to just take one, no charge. I'm like, "who trained these guys, Trader Joe's?" Way impressive. It's good to know that there's a place to hit up at all hours, where the atmosphere is friendly and the offerings extensive. I will be back many times in the future. Exceptional!

Ordered delivery on Friday around 4am (under “Luke L”) & my order arrived wrong in a bunch of different ways, AND the bagels were very stale :( Ordered an Onion bagel— arrived Plain. Ordered a French Toast bagel— arrived Cinnamon Raisin. Ordered Asiago— didn’t arrive at all… So disappointing & inedible, and GrubHub won’t let me get a refund for it, so I’m stuck making this review. The cream cheese was good though!

Classic bagel shop. Solid bagels and cream cheese options. Its not anything glamorous or trendy but you'll find a ton more variety here. Loved their Everything Egg and Everything Pumpernickel bagels. So good!

I think Bagelsmith is a solid bagel shop. Lots of reviewers are talking about how they are pricey. I do agree that the prices are a bit high, but I'm also not *entirely* convinced that they are any higher than the average bagel shop in nyc. The bagels themselves are very tasty and well baked. They have such a good variety of cream cheeses and spreads. The staff is nice, though usually overwhelmed on busy weekend mornings. The shop is open 24/7 and always seems to be clean and in order which is a huge positive. They are my regular go-to bagel spot and that won't be changing soon.

When it comes to bagels, I have a very simple and quick order: (toasted) everything bagel with cream cheese. You order first, they write your name on a post it note, then you go through the line, once you get to the cash register, you let them know what you order and then pay. Then they'll call your name to pick up your order. I really enjoyed my bagel! I didn't give this a 5 star because there were a TON of people in front of me that were worried about their order since it's been a while since their name was called. Even my order, a girl who was behind me received her order before mines. So I'm not sure if orders get mixed up (as in the names) or if the food order is easier to make etc., but there should be a better process, so that people are not going up to the register multiple times and asking where their order is. Other than that, this place is a good place to grab something "quick" and go. They have a LARGE menu!

So today around 6:18pm August 3rd me and my friend walked in and wanted to order us 2 sandwhiches there was a lady in front of us she ordered first after her order another guy comes in and the worker ignores us after being in line patiently and started servicing him next!!! I will never come back here horrible customer service. And the guy ordered a coffee while I was planning on spending $30 here.

Bagelsmith is definitely solid from a bagel aspect. The bagel itself was very solid and I'm not going to complain about it. They tasted fresh it was a good egg to cheese to bacon ratio. The French toast bagel also proved very good. The thing I'm disappointed on is the fresh oj didn't taste very fresh. I'd definitely recommend if you just want a bagel. They have drinks and stuff in a fridge too. Cheers!

Decided to come here for Saturday egg sandwiches. I ordered one bacon egg and cheese and one sausage egg and cheese. They got my order wrong and gave me two bacon egg and cheese. Also they gave like 1/2 slice of bacon for both sandwiches... would not be back.

i'm drunk on a Saturday night so I always come here even though they're friggin overpriced and they don't have any bagels. Correction - they do have bagels but those are reserved for other stores they are supplying with bagels. I can literally see the fresh bagels over there . so they can't give me a bagel with bacon egg and cheese on it even though I'm wasted and I'm here in person. yeah we have bagels but they're not for you they're for other people . Bagelsmith, you suck . please go sit on a fire hydrant

Bagelsmith on Lorimer is open 24 hours, which can be super convenient for those who have a bagel craving or need to purchase sandwiches or beer any hour of the night (or day) - their menu is pretty extensive, offering breakfast options, a variety of bagels, cold and hot sandwiches, and even vegan items. After a not-so-great experience with a previous bagel place, I decided to do a do-over at Bagelsmith; I got a toasted Everything with the Jalapeno Cheddar cream cheese. The bagel was extremely large in size, more on the dense size, and pretty thick; the shmear of the cream cheese was generous, and I really appreciated that the cream cheese was chock full of the cheddar cheese and diced jalapenos. It was thick and creamy, and it really did have a kick! The bagel itself was slightly over toasted, and while there could have been a more proportionate spread of the everything seasoning (it was more sesame seeds), it was still a decent tasting bagel. Service was friendly, while the cashier was a little pushy. There are some counter seating available for those who'd like to enjoy their eats before going. +jalapeno cheddar cream cheese +open 24 hours

This was a terrible experience. Got sent the wrong bagel because they clearly ran out of the original and instead of calling and checking was sent a default plain bagel and the wrong smoothie. Lots of laziness. As a pregnant woman hoping for her correct order I am so sad. Do better.

Bagels are $1.75 okay no problem let me get two with butter please sure that will be $8.00 . Are you kidding me? Service was extremely slow and rude especially when we asked about the price and all he says is tax?!? Also the place needs to be shut down its kinds gross inside and probably has some sort of infestation or at least it looks like it does. Bagel was tasty but at that price I should have gotten double the amount. Absolute rip off avoid like the plague

10/10 the best bagel shop in the city! They're open early to very late, so any time I have a gig in the evening and need to fill my stomach after a long night, I go here! They're quick, convenient, and offer a verity of options of not just bagels/sandwiches, but snacks and drinks too. They're also relatively well priced, and you're not going to over pay for what you get. The portions are satisfying, and you'll probs crave another bagel very soon just because of how good it is! Every drag performer in NYC has rolled up to bagel-smith at 2AM at some point in their career. Sure we get some weird stares but Hey! The food is super good, the staff is nice and accommodating, and I wouldn't choose any other place to get a midnight bagel when I'm craving one!

Heads up...They sent a coupon via email. It is for online orders but there is no place to enter the coupon code. When I picked up my bagels, they said it was for a purchase of $30 or more. My order was $31. They would not honor the coupon. That said, the bagels and sandwiches were good.

Bagels vary in thickness between the whole wheat everything (flatter) vs whole wheat and plain were 1.5x thicker than the whole wheat. Nitpick: cream cheese is pricey for the amount you get, e.g. 1/4 lb cream cheese on the side comes in a condiment cup for $3.65. However, I had a pleasant experience with ordering ahead of time for pickup. They have a wide breakfast and deli selection too!

The bagels were fresh and hard shell on outside, soft inside. Tasty sandwiches made to order. Went every day for my breakfast sandwich. Even ordered some to take back home to Texas. Service was prompt and orderly. Ambiance: typical New York corner store small place bench and stools along the front window. No frills

I ordered a toasted bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was very delicious! The process of ordering and receiving the meal was fast and simple. There was seating by the windows for a quick bite.

Food was good. Decent bagel. Could've been better tho. 4/5 for the bagel itself. Could've been fresher but regardless it was chewy ish in the inside and crunchy ish on the outside. Lox was ok, nothing special. 3.5/5, Cream cheese was good 4.7/5, onions and tomatoes seemed and tasted pretty fresh so 5/5. Overall: 4/5 Service was great. Cashier was friendly. I was just taken aback with the price tho I paid a total of $19 ish, but I got a cookie for $0.85 I think. I thought the bagel sandwich was cheaper but that's probably on me for not seeing the menu as clearly as I should've. Also maybe I'm not updated with the bagel prices these days My bagel was promptly made and the person who made it asked me for my preferences, he was efficient and kind. Moreover, I asked him for a nice spot around the park to eat my bagel and he directed me to the area in my photo. So I'd say 5/5 for customer service. What more could you ask for? Ambiance wise it's very old school vibes, very authentic, not pretentious at all vibes. What you see is what you get. 4/5 because the shops ambiance could use a little update here and there. If you're in the area, give it a try. :) this place was particularly recommended to me by a local.

I have to start off by saying this place has very fresh and good bagels unlike other bagel places! Not to mention their customer service is very nice which is a plus in my opinion! I decided to order their "Breakfast A" specialty sandwich with a little twist! I got the sausage instead of the bacon. The sandwich consist of your choice of bread and obviously a bagel is a no brainer with bacon, eggs, pepperjack cheese, tomato's, avocado and salt and pepper. This combination is absolutely amazing and I will definitely be coming for me! Also their coffee was on point as well! Another added bonus to this place is that they have seating so you can enjoy your food right on the spot!

Of the two Bagelsmith locations for some reason I prefer the smaller location on Bedford Ave. Sure, this one is larger, with some inside seating along the window, and an outside seating area too, and it's also like a convenience store with other food items, drinks, and snacks available which the other location really doesn't have. It's also right next to the L train subway station. Courteous service here too. Yet, in comparison I simply like the bagels better at their smaller location. I can't put my finger on it but I guess it's a personal taste thing.

Out of the way but 24 hr. Availability makes up for the journey. Not a bad product. Quick service. No available parking. Their homemade soups are good.

Delicious, affordable food and friendly, honest service. I dropped my wallet on my way out of the store and not only did they hold on to it, but they reached out to me via social media to let me know it was there with them. Very grateful for the good people at Bagelsmith.

Bagels were delicious and it's the first place I've been that serves kielbasa on a bagel. Complaints: one guy was kind of rude to me when I came in. Asked why I was back in there a second time that day. (I had to leave before ordering the first time bc I got a call.) Then at checkout the girl tried to make me pay twice.

Quite a few options on the menu. The lox bagel was really good and my wife loved her gluten free mexican bagel. I don't remember what was on hers, but gluten free bagel whaaaaat! So glad to find places that are accommodating of her allergy. Prices were a tad high, but eh idk I don't eat bagels every day so it's a nice treat. Lots of other good options as well if you're in the mood for something else or just need snacks. I'd gladly eat here again.

Food was ok but service was horrible, they messed up an order and then followed up by trying to say they were right. Putting pork on a sandwich for someone whose religion observed not eating pork, then saying oh well and offering no resolution

Overpriced, but the bagels are fine, service is fast, but the female cashier is so negative and awful every time I go in she's mad at a costumer. She cuts you off while your trying to say something, snatches money out your hand, is just angry and hostile 24/7. I can't go there anymore, I always leave with such a negative feeling, if the bagels were amazing and cheaper I might come back. Im done.

Been to this place 3 times in the past 7 days in the early morning. They're open 24/7, but never have anything that you want. For a business thats open all hours of the night, they should have a full menu, or specify that the menu will be limited after a certain time. Why advertise that you have certain items but never have them on hand?

It took 30+ minutes for me to get two bagels. I got my first one within 5 minutes and asked where the second one was. The cashier told me to wait until it was ready. I waited 20 minutes until asking again and she told me that they lost the ticket so she put in a new one at the back of the line. After waiting by the counter for 30+ minutes they disrespectfully asked what I was waiting for (even though I followed up twice). In the middle of me saying that I was dissatisfied because I had been waiting for over 30 minutes, she cut me off and shoved the bagel in my face, which had been sitting on the counter for a while. I did not get a single apology throughout this entire experience and needless to say, I'm very disappointed with my experience in this establishment.

This review is mainly for the pumpernickel everything bagels. They are EVERYTHING - well-seasoned, great topping to crust ratio and just the right amount of chew. I was such a fan that we went two days in a row on a recent trip and bought a half-dozen to take home. The cucumber dill cream cheese is divine. Fresh and flavorful. Whole wheat everything bagel good but not as amazing. Ordering system a little confusing as by the time you make it down to the cashier it's hard to remember exactly what you got on a multiple sandwich order. We all agreed our bagels on day two weren't as stellar (forgotten tomatoes in one, under toasted in another) but still quite enjoyable. Will be going back on my next trip!

I swear to God this place never has their sh1t together. I live in the neighborhood and have gone here multiple occasions and I think there is only been one or two times where they didn't fuc4 up my experience in someway. Wether it be the wait time, my order, or the customer service, they suck. I gave 2 stars bc the food isn't half bad

Courtney L.

Yelp
The service here is so bad. They are in zero rush to serve you and are quite indifferent. The staff are disorganized/not trained well and even simple things like ordering a coffee take forever. They just don't have any sense of urgency or really care. On several occasions I've had to wait at the cash register while staff are chatting on the side and not paying attention to the customers. The bagels are just okay. I've never tried any of the sandwiches. I'm not confident in the quality or freshness of the other ingredients.

Got an everything bagel with cream cheese on it here-- very good classic NY bagel. This was the first stop on the Brooklyn Bagel Tour (which was great!) and a great start to the whole experience. Not much seating inside but that's okay, the day was nice and we got some sun while we ate. Service was quick and straightforward.

Bagels usually suck here but in a pinch since there is nothing else around I always go back and give it another shot. 4.50 for a bagel and plain cream cheese is robbery. Everywhere else in Brooklyn a bagel w cream cheese is under 3 bucks. Owner said "you should see what I pay for cream cheese" People that work there are ok. Owner seems like a real jerk. If you can avoid this place avoid it. Oh and the location on bedford Ave sucks even more than this one.

Over the years, quality fell off a little bit, still a solid bagel overall, but not worth the price they ask for. Also, you guys make a ton of money with these bagels, every time I go there's a huge line, with only one girl doing the orders, making the coffee and taking payments, you can afford to put another register and hire another worker. As a customer, it's annoying to have to wait, and I genuinely feel bad for the girl behind the counter, I know she's not happy with all this work load.

Don't yell at the cashier about your bagel that took 5 minutes longer then expected. Appreciate that you have Saturday's off to enjoy the stupid bagel. It's not her fault that every other entitled jerk in the neighborhood wanted to order from there too. Expect to wait. Even if you ordered on an app. Their bagels are far better then Murray's too. Please explore more vegan options! (Add an earth balance option, vegan BEC- I mean, it is Williamsburg!)

This place was very tasty. Def fulfilled my craving for a New York bagel, only complaints were the price of the cream cheese..wtf?! $5 plus? This is unheard of in Cali but i suppose it's to be expected in New York. The bagels Themselves were sooo tasty. Def better quality than Cali. I got the everything whole wheat, boyfriend got the garlic. I also got an iced coffee, which was way a little on the sweet side. Anyways, the shop is small so not much seating options. This was a downside given it was 40 degrees outside. The staff wasn't the friendliest either but it was busy so I get it. Overall, decent place but not amazing either.

This place has been working with my employer for over two months now. We place our breakfast orders with them each morning (about 20) bagels and a large assortment of coffees and drinks.

I'm not really a bagel connoisseur, but I thought the bagel and schmear was delicious. Got the whole wheat bagel and strawberry cream cheese. Quick, fast and cheap. Points that it's right next to the lorimer subway station. Pro tip - buy a leftover package from the TooGoodToGo app, and get a dozen for like 5$. What a steal!
