Broadway Bagel

Such a fantastic spot for bagels and so much more! They have an incredible variety of spreads to choose from, plus pancakes, blintzes, salads, wraps, sandwiches, and desserts. Coffee and tea are also great here. The menu is diverse, the food is fresh, and everything tastes amazing. A perfect place to stop by whether you want breakfast, lunch, or just a sweet treat. Highly recommend!

Absolutely spectacular Bagel place on the UWS. We tried Modern, we tried Tal, we tried Absolute Bagels (now closed) and were happy that we found this amazing place, but sad that we did not find this sooner! Self-service options, extensive selection, quick service and most importantly - reasonably priced (Modern has good selection, but expensive and is closed on Sat. and Tal is just expensive). This will be our go-to place for bagels.

High on my UWS bagels list! The service is great. They’ll customize anything you want (in my case, a BLT with light mayo on a plain bagel). Most bagel shops will do that, but in this case, it’s not sloppy and doesn’t feel random. They know how to customize right the first time. My bagel was also really well wrapped which goes a long way for me.

Every neighborhood deserves a dependable bagel shop, and for me, Broadway Bagels plays that role beautifully. Their bagels have that perfect balance—chewy yet flavorful, hearty without tipping into dense brick territory. My go-to order is the everything bagel with green onion cream cheese, a combination that consistently earns its place as a star performer in the bagel world. Now, let’s address the elephant in the room—or rather, the mountain: the cream cheese. Yes, they’re generous to the point of excess. It’s practically an architectural feat. I usually end up editing the portion myself, but on the bright side, it makes the bagel hearty enough to stretch into two meals. Efficiency and indulgence in one. The one drawback is the absence of indoor seating. This isn’t a “linger with your laptop” type of spot. Instead, I take my bagel three blocks down to Central Park, which, truthfully, turns the whole experience into something rather idyllic. Bagel in hand, city all around, nature just ahead—hard to complain. A neighborhood classic, and one I’m grateful to have nearby.

Title: Fantastic french toast and Service! My experience at Broadway Bagel was exceptional! I used a $30 gift certificate, and it was definitely money well spent. The store was quiet when I arrived around 12-1 pm, and I was greeted with a warm welcome. The staff quickly filled my order, and the service was fantastic. The Continental order I had was absolutely delicious - I can't think of anything better! Kudos to the talented cooks and the attentive service staff. Although I wish there was a seating area in the store, I found a nice spot to enjoy my meal mid-block between Broadway, 101st, and Amsterdam. I had a perfect lunch with my son in a pleasantly empty seating area. I look forward to returning to Broadway Bagel for more delicious treats. Keep up the great work!

Delicious bagels and coffee! So happy I found this gem literally 2 minutes away from my hostel. The food was so fresh and staff so so lovely :)

great bagel spot — quick, easy, and the amigos here work really hard! people are grab and go, not too much sitting spot in the store.

So many different flavors of bagels and cream cheese! I did blueberry on blueberry, and it was delicious! These were a little chewier than some other bagel places but still delicious. A lot of options overall. The coffee wasn't that great. Service was fairly fast for as packed as it was.

A solid place to get bagels. The dough is good, they have a good selection of cream cheese and bagels and the prices are pretty decent. I got the scallion cream cheese on the garlic bagel and my sister got the everything bagel with egg, turkey and cheese.

This place is THE WORST! They have screwed up my order every single time I go there. So now I'm not going there anymore. You see rats running around outside at night. I am sure they have them inside the store.

Ever since absolutely bagels closed down, I've been trying to find another bagel place. Broadway bagel is now my new bagel place. My favorite is the egg everything bagel. Scallion and lox cream cheese hits, and I've also had a BEC on egg everything. Quick turnaround, friendly folks behind the counter.

My new go-to bagel spot in the UW after Absolute closed! I have been on the hunt for a bagel shop with an egg bagel that is on-parr with Absolute's custardy, slightly sweet egg bagel. Broadway Bagel's egg bagel is a good replacement! The scallion-lox cream cheese is packed full of lox! No small lox bits here. The plain scallion cream cheese is also great! Unfortunately, they ran out of plain egg bagels when I came (Friday afternoon). So, I settled for the everything egg bagels-- still tasty. Service was very fast-- no line and convenient kiosks with ipads to order. Bo's egg bagels was a disappointment, but I would recommend Broadway Bagel's egg bagel!

Our friends had this delivered to their apt after arriving in from a long flight. My sandwich was really damn good. I also got hash browns with it and they were good. I also got a couple bagels to eat later on the day. I'm very happy with the results and can't wait to try other food in the future.

I had the Nova Scotia while wheat Everything Bagel, what a treat! It was sooooo good! Lox, tomatoes capers onions cream cheese!

Bread rolls and bagels extremely stale! You would think with location and price food would be fresh

Awesome bagel spot! The everything bagel wasn't too heavy on the seasoning mix which I personally appreciate. Also, as you can see, they are very generous with the smoked salmon.

Snowy day calls for a hot bagel sandwich with egg, sausage, and cream cheese. I'm usually a BEC girl but today I wanted to mix it up! I really enjoy their sausage and you can't beat this spot for a quick bagel on the UWS. The store front itself is very clean and the counter guys are friendly!

My go to bagel spot. Food - Really solid bagels. No need to get the lox. Just need to get the lox spread which is not just pink cream cheese. Its regular cream cheese with huge chunks of fresh lox in it. Last I went before I moved, it was like $6 Ambiance - Its a bagel shop. What do you expected Service - Always on point. Nice people. Always smiling.

Great fantastic The bagel was fresh. Soft plenty of cream cheese, onions, and tomatoes. Good but the locks If that's what you're looking for is the locks you get plenty of locks that it is top cut and you can take a look at the pics When it's good, I'll say it's good and this is really good

Apologies to all the locals here for being in your way and not having out act together when it was our turn to order! We came with a couple of local friends who tried to set us straight. This was a really cool experience and gave us a great picture of what it would be like to live here. We ordered a couple of bagels, a bacon egg and cheese, and one with just schmear. These were very solid, and with the wide (and lowkey overwhelming) variety they offer, you are bound to find something that you'll like. Do have your act together when you go to order so you can keep the line moving. There is a lot of stimuli in the locale but you have to stay focused! Overall great bagels, would love to be back!

The bagels are MASSIVE & the spreads are properly savory. Both combinations were delicious: I liked the scallion/everything more & my husband liked the jalapeño sundried tomato/onion...so you really can't go wrong with either! Service was friendly, relatively fast (they're busy on a Saturday around 11/12 & that's to be expected), and the value for price was great. We'll definitely return!

An amazing spot for the perfect breakfast bagel / breakfast sandwich fix! The sandwiches are very affordable and hearty, filled with plenty of bacon and eggs. The service is quick and efficient, and its a perfect place to grab a solid bagel and enjoy at one of the nearby parks.

This place was so so for me. I had lox and cream cheese on a sesame bagel. You have to request the tomatoes, onions, and capers to be added. My sandwich had no crunch. I thought it was a standard to add those things but I guess not. They do have a good cream cheese to lox ratio. Don't go out of your way. Just come if you are in the area.

First lemme say, WOW! The bagel size is tremendous.... Service was quick with lots of staff...Lots to choose from in spreads...fairly crowded. So you ask, "why only 4 stars?" Here comes the negative. First no seating available. Had to take my bagel and cawfee to the Broadway Mall benches and consume breakfast there. Cawfee not that hot. Now onto to the goods. Despite the oversized bagel, seasonings were not only light on the seasoned side but non existent on the bottom. Also the bagel was about 90% cooked leaving it a little too chewy. Decent experience but slight room for improvement. I will go back to give them a second chance at getting to at least the top ten. Perhaps being a busy Saturday led to deficiencies.

Great the service was fast and the food was good! Just missing a hash brown that's it. The ambiance was fine and clean. Definitely would come back again.

My favorite bagels in the UWS is Absolute Bagels but when I know that there are too many people waiting at that place, I come to Broadway Bagels. I feel so sad to say that they are second best, but trust me they are still amazing. Put them anywhere else in America and they will be the best tasting bagels you've ever had. I always get the Everything Toasted Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese and Egg wherever I go, I really should change it up though. The cream cheese itself is delicious, extremely scallion-y which goes well with the eggs, although I wish they were fluffier. The everything bagel is also delicious as well although the outside bits could be ever so slightly crispier. This is all just nit picky things but I still really enjoy this bagel! Overall, solid bagel place in NYC. The wait here is also pretty short, we waited only 3 minutes on a Sunday morning which I consider a win.

Good bagels! The only disappointment was that they were pretty sparse with the flavorings like Everything Bagels, Sesame and so on.

Efficient, quick service. Got a garlic bagel with jalapeños sun dried tomato cream cheese which was excellent. The coffee was pretty good too. My g/f got a bagel with egg salad which was also pretty good. It's a no frills bagel shop with really good bagels!

This is my go to local bagel place. Sometimes the egg can be over cooked, but overall the service is efficient and the bagels are good. There are bagels, pastries, coffee, and other deli sandwiches. I usually order the SEC or the BEC which are both solid. Upper west side is known to have absolute bagels as the best bagel place, but this is the place I go to when I don't want to wait 30 mins. I liked how the guy at the checkout counter skipped the tip option on the computer and didn't pressure me to tip on a takeout order. Not the bagel place that you dream about, but it's the one you always end up going to.

Why can't you be in the Bronx??? The best bagels I've had since l moved from Brooklyn to the Bronx. Got an everything bagel with cream cheese and a blueberry bagel($4.50!) So delicious and fresh. I ate the blueberry bagel the next day and it was still fresh and chewy. Very nice friendly staff.

Fast, efficient and friendly service. Standard bagel shop setting with display counter. Bagels are solid, not life changing, but check all the boxes. I need a neighborhood bagel place. Lenny's (RIP) was my go to, and left a hole in my psyche (pun intended). My girlfriend is not a fan of B'way Bagel, saying the bagels are too large. Seeing my bagel, she has a point, but that's not a deal breaker for me. Now, I broke a cardinal rule and instead of ordering a plain bagel as a control I ordered pumpernickel. The pumpernickel was quite serviceable -- good tooth resistance to the crust, and decently chewy. Lox spread was very good with ample pieces of fish. Black coffee was very good. Though I will not dream of this store when I'm out of town, but this place is a go.

Not my favorite bagels in the city but fulfilled my NY bagel craving. The bagel was airy, crisp on the outside but soft on the inside. Service was quick with a short line when we walked in. Seemed to be a local morning stop judging by the PD and other local workers stopping in to order. The lox spread was exactly what I wanted that morning. All around no complaints but there are better bagels in the city.

Back a second time. This time all 14 bagels (in the dozen) present and accounted for. This batch was excellent: crusty and chewy. I'm officially a regular.

Super friendly service and super tasty bagels! These bagels are huge and they fill them with a hefty amount of cream cheese so no complaints here! I also love that there wasn't a huge line like some other places, and the prices are so cheap. Make sure to look at the display of all the cream cheeses instead of just the menu because the menu doesn't list all of them down!

I ordered from uber eats received hair in my food! hair nets are very important and should be worn for the safety of customers the hair was cooked into the egg a long possibly female hair so I'm unsure if it's the person that scrambled the eggs or the cook either way this is unacceptable and disgusting

Great bagels! Very nice staff. Nice alternative to the other famous spot that shut down.

We ordered $95 of bagels, sandwiches & drinks. The bagels & sandwiches were delicious. It was really convenient to order on their digital board. Their chai latte failed to satisfy though. Very watery and lacked spice. Oh, well, I took a chance to save you the trouble.

I don't know who they have on the grill but that person makes the best breakfast sandwich's ever. Have to try my go to order - bacon egg with cheese on a roll with ketchup, mayo and onions. You're welcome

Ok let me break this down for you: 2.2/5 flavor - these bagels taste like chewy white bread. 2/5 texture - visually, the bagels look like fluffy grocery store bagels. Upon taste...very bready. No crunch, or craggily crust at all. They are hardly chewy, the hallmark of a good bagel's texture. 3/5 ambiance - it's kind of dark, commercial chipotle-esque, or like a trendy salad spot. It's very busy, the staff is bustling. Nothing nostalgic about it, which is what I really look for in a bagel shop. Overall, disappointing.

I love broadway bagel. Delicious, friendly, fast service, no frills, a great place for any kind of bagel sandwich or deli side in the UWS.

The service is fast and friendly! And the bagel is huge!! I loved it:) Will be going there more often, recommend 100%

Broadway Bagels is so very excellent!! I wish it was in my neighborhood. The only problem is they don't have any seating whatsoever. I really hate to sit outside with the wind blowing my hair in my mouth when I'm trying to eat. I was treated so nice by the cashier who promptly explained the drill to me. I said I thought I saw a Pumpernickel Everything Bagel and she said yes they have them. I couldn't believe I found Pumpernickel Everything Bagel other than at the bagel place that is not fun to deal with. I'm not mentioning their name. The best thing was my Pumpernickel Everything Bagel to go was only $1.25! Geez I am loving this place called Broadway Bagels! Great service, efficient, clean, delicious, and great bang for your buck! I'm looking forward to the day I can sit in this friendly atmosphere and eat a bagel with coffee!!

Cool, fast-paced spot to get a yummy breakfast! Atmosphere is everything you'd expect for a busy Sunday bagel run. Bagels are very tasty, but could be fresher. All in all, very good!

Broadway Bagels is not just a bagel shop. It is a full Deli and a place to get fantastic sandwiches and breakfast. They have a great selection as Bagels, cream cheese, deli meats, Cheese's and other items. There is no need to go anywhere else for your meal. You'll get everything you need right there. Their bagels are so great and if you order one with cream cheese they give you a healthy serving. The service is fantastic. Everyone is friendly and this place is tourist-friendly as well. You can get whatever you want to go, have it delivered, or enjoy right there. The prices are reasonable, considering its location, and the fact that they only use the best ingredients. Everything is fresh and delicious. Have the best time.

If you're trying to get an authentic bagel, go elsewhere: They steam their bagels, rather than boiling them, and so you're not going to get a traditional bagel: They're very large, a little dry, kind of crunchy. That being said, these folks move sandwiches like nobody's business, they'll throw anything you want on a bagel, and it's the size of your head. It's a utilitarian spot for when you need something huge to shove in your face, rather than the place you bring your out of town friends to show them a New York delicacy. RIP Lenny's.

NOT WORTH IT SAVE UR MONEY N TIME The manager needs to tell their staff who takes the orders to follow the line. I was standing there waiting to order(keep in mind I come multiple times a week) and as I'm still waiting for someone to take my order(keep in mind im the ONLY person at the counter waiting to have order taken) a guy walks in says hey to the guy(he clearly comes all the time too but on a first name basis but just a regular customer) LOOKS AT ME IGNORES ME AND TAKES HIS ORDER EVEN THO IM STILL WAITING JUS BC THEY ARE FRIENDLY. DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU WANT TO BE SKIPPED OVER THIS PLACE IS OVERRATED ANYWAYS BUT THE STAFF REALLY NEEDS TO BE TALKED TO!!(only register ppl r wonderful) ALSO This is NOT counting the MANYYY times they have messed up my order including just yesterday giving me the wrong cheese YOU HAVE TO CHECK UR STUFF IN STORE THEY MESS UP ALL THE TIME!!! I never had wrote a bad review over that I kept my mouth shut and still came since they're the closest but after today with the rudeness and PURPOSELY skipping me and constant messing up .... DO NOT COME HERE!!!

Got food poisoning from this place. It was the only thing I ate before I got really sick and left me sick for 2-3 days

YUM such good bagels - went here 3 times during our stay on the upper west side. Everything, egg everything, and sesame bagels + scallion cream cheese were amazing. Their BEC and egg sandwiches are also great, though I would skip the pastries. Clearly a spot frequented by locals with quick service and friendly staff.

It was a little out of the way, but I'm so glad we made the trek up here to try out Broadway Bagel! I had a bacon and egg breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel, and it was phenomenal! The bagel had a crispy exterior and a soft, doughy inside. They gave a very generous portion of bacon and egg inside the bagel. Service was efficient and helpful. Adding this to my list of great bagel places in uptown Manhattan!

This will always be my weekend go to. Best bagels and coffee for blocks with fast delivery. The Spicy Mac burger is amazing. Clean and great service.

I got the fried chicken bagel sandwich and it was a decent size and the service was okay. They're normally pretty busy

About 3 months ago I ordered their bagel and lox . I got it with scallion cream cheese with tomatoes and onions . Now I've ordered this from other places and they did their twist to it and it's nothing special. This place though , wow . It was amazing . I would say it's the best I've had . Everything blended . It wasn't like your biting into a sandwich and one aspect stands out over the other . For example too much tomato flavor , or the onions are off or even not the right amount of cream cheese and lox . This place first made it blend perfectly it's like a rainbow . Also they add their own twist to it which makes it better. Bagels are great quality highly recommend .

I have been a customer of Broadway Bagel for almost 15 years and today the staff was extremely rude to me after they messed up an order. I ordered a plain bagel with butter and an ice coffee with milk and sugar. Instead they thought I said hot coffee with milk and sugar and instead of just fixing the order and just giving me the ice coffee they decided to charge me an extra $1.34. I said this is their mistake and I shouldn't have to pay the extra money for their mistake. All the women there have major attitude. This is not proper customer service.

Right after getting off the subway, I was determined to find a NY bagel (from Chicago). Saw Broadway Bagel, and knew we had to stop there. Prices were very reasonable and the taste was AMAZING. Schmear was outstanding. I got a sesame bagel with chive cream cheese & this was the best bagel I think I've ever had. Doughy, airy, filled with good cream cheese. Can't wait to come back to NY for another!

ONE OF THE BEST local bagel spots in the uw! My go to stops every morning en route to the metro. Extremely fast & excellent service (even with heightened covid/ takeout busy-ness)... ive never waited longer than 10 min for even a relatively large order. For bfast, i recommend the egg & sausage. For cream cheese, try the chives! The everything and multigrain are my faves :)
