Brooklyn Bread Cafe

Unassuming and hard to find if you aren’t looking. It is a narrow shop so if more than 5-7 people are in here it would be packed. It is a small spot but packs a punch. They have freshly made cookies which I has. The churro nutella were awesome and I would reorder. The muffins looked delicious as well. I would however go with the bagels. Large fluffy and delicious. The turkey sandwich I got on a bagel was lovely. Would definitely come back.

Fire BEC on pumpernickel, the way they wrap up the cheese in the egg is like beautiful honestly. Bagel was nice and fluffy. Got a tropical smoothie too since I just finished a run, and I chose the Tropical Sunshine. It was pretty good and really fresh, although I did wish it was a bit sweeter, not in the sense of extra sugar but I feel the fruits themselves werent as sweet as normal but it still was a great pair to the sandwich.

Really happy to have found this place! Not as flashy as some other sandwich shops but this one is a GEM! We had a chicken sandwich, acaii bowl and coffee and enjoyed by the water close by. 10/10 start into the day

We recently catered from Brooklyn Bread for a union event with over 230 members, and it was an absolute hit. From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and delicious. The food arrived fresh, hot, and right on time — which is no small feat with a crowd this size. We ordered the executive box that comes with a sandwich, soda, chips, and a fruit. We ordered a wide variety to suit different tastes: the Vegan Hash, BB Ruben, Brighten Beach, Mila, something close to the Mary B., Chicken Club, Hangover Chick, and the Gabagool — and every single item was a standout. You could tell everything was made with quality ingredients and real care. Nothing tasted mass-produced — each sandwich had its own flavor and identity, and people were raving about them during and even after the event. Our members are still talking about how good the food was. Brooklyn Bread truly made the day feel thoughtful, enjoyable, and well-fed — and we’re incredibly thankful. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for top-notch catering and genuine flavor. We’ll absolutely be ordering again!

I ordered from Brooklyn Bread for a lunch meeting and Lenny, the owner, was so kind and helpful. You can do a catering order online but I preferred speaking to someone and Lenny answered my call. The food arrived 10 minutes earlier which I appreciated. The sandwiches were really good. Everyone enjoyed them. So if you’re looking for a business to cater, give them a call.

This place is seriously one of the best lunch spots I’ve been to!! I got a matcha smoothie and the tuna avocado salad to be healthy—and I have zero regrets :) The salad was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had (no kidding!). The Brie and ham wrap is also a treat! Guys try this place out !!

Even though the staff moved quickly, and clearly most people were locals, they still kindly stopped to briefly answer a few questions I had. I ordered a simple everything bagel with cucumber-dill cream cheese and an iced coffee. Tre' yum! Bagel was fresh, pleasantly chewy. Cream cheese was tasty and generously smeared on. Coffee was great! Nice little bench area with trees next to it. Great in the summer.

I would call myself a bagel snob as I have had some really great bagels before…that being said…..these are probably the best bagels I have ever had. They are big but light and soft with the perfect crisp outer edge. My partner had a “honey apple” sandwich and said it was also phenomenal. If you are in the area definitely stop here.

tried their top 20s one of them is mott st it was soo deliciouss! also bb reuben their pastrami with russian dressing! omg! not only that their latte was so delicious! gonna be my fav all time

We stopped by Brooklyn Bread cafe on a Wednesday in early September with my brother and his wife. We arrived slightly before 9 and they were quite busy. They have a large and varied menu, so you'll find something you like. All of our food was excellent. When you order, a breakfast bagel sandwich be prepared to tell them what kind of bagel you want it on. My wife had the breakfast bagel with egg and potato. It was so large, she ate half of it and brought the other half home. I had the breakfast burrito on a flour tortilla(there were 3 or 4 types of tortillas to choose from). Brooklyn bagel puts the peppers onions etc in an omelette (not scrambled eggs with a scoop of various other things added in as most places do). The then roll up that omelette with the cheese and salsa in your burrito. This make for makes each bite much the same. I liked it. They have a good coffee also. We ate outside in the shade on a beautiful morning watching people walk their dogs. A great experience!

I got a chance to get a Chopped Cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes on a hero roll. for breakfast and it was delicious. I paired it with a Snapple Fruit Punch. It definitely was the perfect combination to start the day. The service was great. It took only a few minutes to get my order. They have many menu options to choose from. It's a small restaurant so not much seating room but I was able sit outside at the little bench areas right outside. Will be back soon for another round!

The sandwiches are sooo good!! I'm going to make this a must stop every time I am in !!

Ok so being 100% honest it wasn't what I expected. It wasn't bad. Just not what I expected. I had a Reuben on ciabatta. It tasted more like a corned beef with Big Mac special sauce. Good but not a Reuben. The wife had some sort of southwestern chicken sandwich that tasted really good. For some reason it came up when I searched for bagels and we weren't too far of a walk away. It had been a long day and it hit the spot. It's a decent sandwich shop but you're better off hitting a deli if you want that NY experience. There's a very small bench area inside so incredibly limited seating. Outside there is seating and a few pigeons. Walking distance from ground zero and the 9/11 museum. I should have taken some food pics. The pigeons were more fun.

The holy grail of delicious bagels and sandwiches! Came here after reading other reviews and so glad we did. I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a garlic bagel and my friend ordered a chopped cheese sandwich is pretty much like a ground beef, adobo and cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes on a hero roll. They have great service as well. It's a small place so not much room to sit for large parties or strollers so we sat out at the little bench areas near by. I am definitely coming back here anytime I'm in NYC Go here for breakfast or lunch, you won't regret it !!!

Great sandwich! Had walked by but did not realize the variety of sandwiches that Brooklyn Bread Cafe offers until coming across their menu on Seamless. Had the Tribeca sandwich on a hero - nicely prepared and a good size. Will need to come back to try some of the other sandwiches.

Best breakfast spot in NYC hands down. It's agreeable that NYC has the best bagels, and this spot takes the win. Lots of options and very customizable for anyone and everyone. Coffee is great too. We will be visiting each time we come.

Ordered on their website. 15 minute pick up time ended up being 38. It was a quicker wait for the people who ordered in the store - saw one girl get in and out in 20 minutes. Very little room to stand and wait inside. The people working there were definitely rushing and doing a good job getting things out, but would've appreciated a better ETA. Felt like there could've been more meat on the sandwich. And they forgot an ingredient I paid extra for. Disappointing.

Nice bagel spot in lower Manhattan near the World Trade Center. The service was quick, the bagels crunchy and big, and they have a rather large menu to choose from. One of these will keep you full most of the day. The coffee was good too. Only drawback, there were only a few stools for indoor seating so we sat outside. Still it's a good place to grab a bagel breakfast.

Perfectly chewy bagels. Love the large sized bagels. They have an array of standard bagels and some specialty ones aa well, like the Prosciutto Bagel. French Toast Bagel and Whole Wheat Ciabatta Bagel. The also have a large sandwich board with deli favorites. Very clean space. Counter seating and a few tables outside as well. Hot spot for construction workers in that area- just saying lol. Friendly Staff.

The bagels here are very good. I had the egg bagel with cream cheese for $4.75. Texture was soft and delicious. Fast service and there are stools and tables here. The coffee here is standard.

For the sake of consistency, I will continue moving the line on giving this restaurant a five star review, even if some of the food items do not necessarily warrant it. As you know, I give new restaurants a fair shake by trying multiple things on the menu. Given this is largely a sandwich shop, I got both a Chopped Cheese, and a plain bagel with cream cheese and lox. You can probably see where I am going with this. Anytime you order a Chopped Cheese outside of Hajji's, you have to lower your standards. This applies. It is not bad by any means, but it lacks a little of what makes Hajji's special. At least it is a full sandwich, though it could use a bit more cheese to bind it all together. The chopped beef spills out way too easily here. The bagel? Outstanding. The cream cheese and lox? Even more outstanding. The bagel is fluffy, crunchy, chewy, light, and very easy to eat. It felt hand rolled, I almost forgot I was eating a bagel as I was eating this. The cream cheese layer and lox is spread beautifully and are in equal parts. I was expecting a huge mess, and I ended up with one that required very little, if any napkins on my part. They also offer bakery items, but those are just bonuses if they are good. Nothing is added or detracted. If it was a pastry shop it would get weighed in. Since bread is the primary focus of the restaurant that is what I am going to primarily judge. The restaurant has very little indoor seating, but that is okay too. Outside has plenty of seating that is shaded and protects you from the elements. If I had the time, I would have taken advantage of this. They also offer breakfast and brunch options throughout the day. I am going to have to try one of them eventually. For the bagels, I can happily endorse. Everything else is passable. However, I promised to maintain consistency, and that is why this is getting a five star review instead of a four star review.

This is an excellent little bagel shop in Tribeca. I recommend them for quality bagels, cookies and coffee.

This place had one of my all time favorite Ruben sandwich. I was skeptical at first because they used saute onions instead of sauerkraut, but it worked. I had mine on a hoagie roll and it was more than enough to share. The service was great, and very patient with us outsiders. They had a nice seating area outside to enjoy your food too.

This place has the best menu! Tons of special sandwiches to choose from. Great location as well. Easy to double park right out front too! Highly recommend the bagel with pastrami and cheese!

One of the first bagel sandwiches we got to try in NYC. Coming all the way from LA, you don't find delicious delicacies like this. We had the Diablo on an everything bagel! This place is very underrated and I'm shocked you don't see a line out the door.

Tiny cafe but cute and really great food with fresh ingredients! Would recommend for a quick bite, brunch, or lunch!

Freshest bread in Brooklyn. Also expensive. At least they have a place to sit. Outdoor seating is nice. I get bagel or their French toast bagel with butter.

Food was quick - sandwich was unreal and huge! Ordered the Montague on toasted ciabatta and loved, already looking forward to trying their bagels.

Amazing food. So many yummy choices. I always want to order everything plus the bagels. Friendly staff as well.

I had one of the worst cafe experiences at brooklyn Bread Cafe. I waited over 30 minutes for a simple bagel, only to be served cold--and not even toasted properly. To make matters worse, several people who walked in after me were served before me. There was no explanation, no apology, just bad service and a stale bagel. Totally unacceptable. Don't waste your time or money here.

Found this on Yelp. Loved the cucumber dill cream cheese I got with my bagel and the iced mocha was just perfect, not too sweet. Definitely recommend.

Everything is made with fine detail. The chicken cutlet is a must. Roger is the best. When Roger is around I have no complaints. I am a very picky eater. I give Brooklyn Bread Tribeca along with Roger A+

Really awesome spot! Although the cream cheese slightly lacked in flavor, the bagel was extremely well seasoned and fresh! The staff was super nice, and the atmosphere was great! The music was such a vibe!

Great place! Ordered Mott St. sandwich and it was so fresh - ciabatta bread nice and soft, chicken cutlet fresh, the size of the sandwich is huge. Will definitely order from there again and recommend to others.

The bagels are terrible, literally made of styrofoam. Only redeeming quality is the ketchup that I added and the C+ coffee.

Food wise...compliments to the chef(s)! So far what I have ordered has tasted really yummy. Customer service wise.. it's awkward. There is a young girl there (all Hispanic workers) who is very antisocial and has poor customer service skills. She is very dismissed and depending on who you are, she attends to you or not with a smile. This is the second time I waited almost 20-30 minutes for my order. She's so inattentive and appears to give attention to other customers (noticeably the white/caucasian customers.) Today, I was waiting there 20 minutes of an order I placed 10 minutes in advance (total 30 minutes) and she had it at the counter all along. Handed it to me once I approached the manager to ask about my order, and she dismissively handed it to me and turned around not even apologizing. Not sure what her problem is, bc I have always been respectful of all the staff there. But she always has an attitude towards me for some reason. So unprofessional. Funny thing is I'm the paying customer, and their prices are not cheap! So they should be more gracious to anyone who uses their facility.

Wonderful selection of beagles and beagle sandwiches. Out door seating by One World Center.

Very good . It's the most delicious hamburger in the world. my family also think so. I love it. I love it forever.

Exceptional choices, speed of service and location near the Hudson river and the 9/11 memorial.

My company recently hosted a breakfast Grand Ribbon Cutting service that extended some pomp & circumstance to the recipients and our order from this deli was Superb. Everyone was amazed with the presentation, quality, portions of the breakfast offerings. Fantastic deli in the Tribeca neighborhood, My team will surely visit this deli often for an exceptional repeat experience.

I absolutely love the bagels here! Especially the chocolate chip... they're the best in the city!

Food is always great - breakfast and lunch. put the wrong delivery address in and they comped the order - no one does that!

Brooklyn Bread is exactly what the neighborhood needed! The bagels are fresh, flavorful and delicious. And HUGE! Perfect to bring as a guest for the NYC bagel experience. Rodger was patient with me as I decided my flavors, and even let me try the delicious french toast bagel they had. He even gave me a cookie to try. Will be back time and time again. Thank you BK Bread!

best bagel shop in tribeca by a long shot. fast, well priced, huge portions, great quality
