Delicious and filling bagel sandwiches!! (Fave was the BEC) The bagels here are a mix of NY/Montreal style! The bagels themselves are not too thick and have a great crispy crust. Staff is really friendly. I’m excited for a new bagel place in the neighborhood!

This was my third time stopping by Black Seed, I’ve never been to any of their other locations but honestly I’m impressed. As a local New Yorker born & raised in Queens, I have high expectations for my bagels but I was pleasantly surprised to find out that their bagels are absolutely delicious. So far I’ve had the BEC 9/10, Plain with Cream Cheese & Bacon 1000/10 and then a Sausage Egg & Cheese solid 9/10. I encourage you guys to check them out, bagels are perfectly toasted. Also, Doug and Derek at the front are the absolute sweetest. Oh and please try their cookies!!!

A welcome addition to the neighborhood since Hunters Point was severely lacking good bagel options. A love that they're a dog-friendly establishment. There's limited seating for about 8 people and there are a couple tables out on the sidewalk. I ordered takeout and had the sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel and an iced cold brew. Both were delicious. My only gripe was their limited cream cheese options. Would love to see Jalapeño cream cheese added to the menu! 😋 (Also they charged 50 cents to add ice to my coffee which I thought was a bit absurd 🤷🏻‍♂️)

The best bagel place in the city! Kind genuine young lady at the counter with beautiful name and adorable smile! She was so sweet to me and my son 🤍 Thank you for making our morning and spread the joy, will be our ritual to stop by on Sundays now 🌸🌿

Nice to have black seed in the neighborhood! Loved my tuna salad sandwich today! I wouldn’t say black seed is the best bagel itself in Ny but very delicious bagel sandwiches and hits the spot if you have a bagel craving :)

Extremely disrespectful—black seed consistently parks their van blocking our driveway. Totally inconsiderate and unprofessional. Won’t be supporting a business that shows such disregard for the neighborhood.

I’ve come here 4 times since I live nearby and have always loved the other locations. I always ordered the same thing, and all 4 times it was not toasted at all, and there was no hot sauce, even though I ordered it that way, and it’s on the receipt. I would have taken it back, but usually it’s grab and go for a bagel, I keep getting home to open an untoasted bagel with no hot sauce. Makes me think the cream cheese is probably with dairy too even though I order tofu. Seems like they don’t really care.

Grilled cheese everything bagel with pickled green tomatoes. I almost want to take a star away because it was going to be $4.50 to add a small cup of cream cheese to dip but the sandwich was amazing how it was. I also love their cream cheese which I'm pretty sure they make fresh.

Really good bagel. Nice crunch, tender dough and the dough has a good flavor. I got an everything bagel with vegi cream cheese and sliced tomato. There was plenty of "everything" coating the bagel and the bagel was well toasted. The vegi cream cheese had diced vegis in a creamy base and was outstanding. My one disappointment was paying $1.50 for a slice of tomato. That seems a bit much. And there are no onion bagels on the menu. Wonder why it's so hard to find an onion bagel. The staff were working hard and seemed to be processing the many orders very efficiently.

cute little bagel shop! came Saturday around 1-2pm and the line was short and got my bagel around 5-8mins. It was an efficient grab and go I'll definitely be back! Solid bagel :)

I live in LIC and could never find a good bagel spot, so I'm thrilled that Black Seed opened here! Their bagels are super solid, great texture, tastes fresh, and just the right size. My favorite flavors are the cinnamon raisin and everything bagel. The Boca comes with avocado, tomato, and eggs and cheese - a perfect light meal! Their cream cheese is also really unique- feels somehow more whipped and fresh than store bought. Love this spot and can't wait to be back!

I'd give this place a 3.5, overall decent bagels but definitely not one of the best. I feel like the loch bagel, which is a classic, wasn't that flavorful and also didn't have as much salmon as I wanted. We also got a pastrami salmon (classic 2.0) which was actually much better. It had some pickled vegetables that gave the bagel a kick, but still wish there was more salmon.

Wednesday Morning slow service (counted only 3 workers). Maybe it was just a bad day but ended up waiting 25 minutes for two bagels. It felt like the employees prioritized taking orders over fulfilling them. The queue grew pretty quickly and up to 10 groups were left waiting a lot longer than they probably should have. The bagels were good but I can't see myself coming back unless I have an hour to kill or they up their headcount.

Grand opening!! I got an everything bagel toasted with chive cream cheese and it was yummy. There wasn't much of a wait when ordering and there's a couple of indoor seating options. Definitely worth checking it out!

Love this place! Team is friendly, helpful, and attentive. When it's busy, they communicate with customers about their orders. The staff is efficient and pack my bagels to go with care. Bagels are delicious! My go to order is the BEC. Definitely will keep coming back.

I went to this new place called black seed for a breakfast bagel and was very disappointed with the quality of the bagels, flavor and price. I think I'm going to stick with Bricktown bagels. This is actually the 2nd bagel shop to open on 50th avenue in the last year, the other one closed and is now Starbucks. I bet in a few months this place will be Dunkin Donuts.

Delicious! So happy to have a new bagel spot. If you want a huge fluffy bagel, that isn't their style. But they're delicious, crispy and lots of amazing menu options for sandwiches and spreads. We did a sausage egg cheese and a veggie bagel, both perfect.
