The 20 Best Bagels In New York City, Ranked

"You can tell you’ve got a great Knickerbocker bagel as soon as you give it a nice squish. The crust crackles just a little as you push down, before it dutifully springs back into form like a stress ball. That’s how you know that it’s big and fluffy, but still dense enough to support the chunky home fries in their breakfast sandwich. Knickerbocker is the only shop in Bushwick that makes their own bagels–hand-rolled and boiled—so there’s always a line. But they move quickly, and you can keep tabs on the M train from a table by the window. " - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah

Knickerbocker Bagel - Review - Bushwick - New York - The Infatuation

"Knickerbocker is the only bagel shop in Bushwick that makes their own hand-rolled and boiled bagels. Lucky for Bushwick—and anyone willing to visit—they make really good ones. Give each bagel a good squish, and you’ll feel the crust crackle just a little as you push down, before the bagel dutifully springs back into form like a stress ball. That’s how you know that it’s big and fluffy, but still dense enough to support the chunky home fries in their breakfast sandwich—or an extra layer of jalapeño cream cheese. There’s always a line, but it moves quickly, and they have a lot of big tables if you want to stay. Including one made out of bagels and epoxy resin." - Neha Talreja

The bacon, egg, and cheese on an egg bagel was delectable! I woke up early just to arrive at Knickerbocker as it opened. The bacon was beautiful and thick and the bagel was perfectly sweet and fluffy! The staff were super kind and put so much care into their service. They even gave me the option to add salt, pepper and mayo. Once I ordered, it took less than a minute for them to make. The seating inside is super cozy and they have lots of space. If you want to work on your laptop for a bit they even have free wifi. Their coffee is also really good and affordable!

Bagels have been inconsistent lately. I’ve been coming here for years but not sure why some days the bagels are a bit dry or they skimp out on the shmear. Still will be going but just a friendly call out so hopefully management monitors the consistency/quality of the product a bit more!

Since there’s so many reviews I’ll just post about our food so you guys know what these items oook like. She got the Loxury Flavor on an egg bagel with scallion cream cheese. I got the turkey triple decker on whole wheat. Decent environment very lively. The staff is decent and welcoming. It took them about 15 mins to make the food. Plenty of seating and wheelchair accessible. Overall a great spot. Long hours too!

Knickerbocker Bagel is hands down the best! The bagels are always fresh, perfectly made, and packed with flavor. On top of that, the service is top-notch—friendly, fast, and welcoming. A go-to spot for anyone who loves a great bagel with great vibes.

Really enjoyed visiting Brooklyn and going to Knickerbocker bagel. They had great salmon/lax bagels. Really enjoyed my meal. It can be busy in the mornings, especially weekends, but the food is worth it.

The bagel is one of the highest quality I’ve had. Very fluffy and well flavored. My only complaint is that the bagel was so big is kind of overwhelmed the sandwich.

Laura Lacy

Google
There’s a reason this place is so busy all the time - it’s just really good and really consistent. The sandwiches are gigantic and thoughtfully made and because they go through so many bagels everyday they’re always super fresh. This time we got an Italian sandwich, hummus bagel and an omelette all great! Also thankfully the sandwiches come with pickles on the side (bless up) and they have really good juices and smoothies! Make this your bagel go-to.

I was in the area and stopped by for a meal. I got a garlic bagel toasted with cream cheese and tomato. I also got a chocolate marshmallow cookie warmed up and a bottle of the Brooklyn-made sweet and spicy hot sauce to bring home. The bagel was pretty good but nothing to write home about. The cookie was excellent. I haven’t tried the hot sauce yet but can’t wait to at home.

Everything a New York City bagel should be. Fresh, fluffy, with a pleasant level of chew and shiny laminated exterior. Knickerbocker Bagel keeps the fresh bagels flowing all day long, and offers the best selection of schmears in town. Prices are low, and quality is high. I opted for an everything bagel with egg and vegetarian sausage, NYC deli style with American cheese, salt/pepper, and ketchup. Though I did not love the particular sausage they use, the sandwich was better than the sum of its parts. The blueberry bagel was not overly sweet, pairing perfectly with the blueberry cream cheese, which was packed with real blueberries and tasted of blueberry jam. They do not skimp on the schmear; it's more than you need, but certainly not more than you want. 10/10.

I think these may be the best bagels in Brooklyn. I'm almost regretting typing this since it means I'll have to officially give up gate keeping this spot. The bagels have a perfect chew, they're crispy on the bottom, and pillowy fresh in the center. Just get a dozen bagels with a few shmears and thank me later. Today I ordered a bagel with lox and the dill and cucumber cream cheese was reminiscent of tzatziki in the best way. If you're a bagel person, please order from here! PS: The earlier you order the better the selection! Oh, and the whitefish spread is sooo good.

I've been wanting to try Knickerbocker for a while as I've heard so many amazing things! Ordered the loxury plain and the American grinder. The bagels here are good, your typical dense yeasty bagels. I always forget to ask for my bagels toasted so this review is based on a non-toasted bagel. Loxury plain - SO good, but wish there was more lox. Even though when I ate it the ratio of filling was satisfactory, a bit more lox would have been nice. I felt like sometimes I would just get mouthfuls of tomato, onion, and CC. American grinder - this was ok. The meat was not super seasoned so I feel like it was missing a bit of flavor which is disappointing because they PACK on the meat. Also wish they would put more dressing to make it less dry. Overall, would come back if I was in the area but wouldn't travel far for it.

I would say it was a 3.5/5 for me more than a 4, but I did round up because 3 is too low. I ordered an everything bagel, toasted with lox cream cheese. Although I appreciate the amount of cream cheese they gave me, for me personally, it was too much. I went a second time and ordered light cream cheese, and still got way too much. The taste of the everything bagel was slightly salty but not too bothersome. The texture of the bagel was incredible, perfectly fluffy! I want to give a special mention to the system they have in place. Other bagel shops in NY can be quite overwhelming when going up to order, but I greatly appreciate all the signs they have. I did have a short wait on Sunday afternoon but Monday afternoon there was no wait at all. Staff was friendly and place has seating. I did notice there is an extensive food menu, but I was only interested in the bagels.

I just had to drop this review. Went here Saturday for the first time. Ordered a flat bagel w/cc. It was the BEST bagel i've had in quite some time! Crisp& a little sweet. Fresh squeeze OJ topped it off. And GREAT customer service! Will definitely be back!

I've never been a bagel lover but recently have been finding myself fiending ~once a week. Crazy what this city will do to you amirite. Went for the first time to Knickerbocker Bagel a few weeks back and already have been back hehe. Same order both times-- sesame bagel toasted with garlic and herb cream cheese. You order at the counter to the left and once they call your number you pay at the register. Note that if you want a coffee you need to order it at the time you order your food so it can be printed on the ticket! The bagels here actually aren't too heavy (which is one of the reasons I strayed from bagels before), they are chewy, filling, and that garlic and herb cream cheese is SO good if you like aromatics. I'm genuinely looking forward to trying the sandwiches once I tire of my current order but that probably won't be for the foreseeable future :)

Such a good basic bagel - service was quick and friendly. Very hefty bagel! There is amble seating and the interior isn't crowded like other bagel shops.

Knickerbocker Bagel has been my go to for two years, it's always been great service and large portions. But today--look at the size of this bagel? Almost two times smaller than their typical bagels. I'm shocked and really disappointed that their quality has gone down. Also our order came cold and we had to reheat it. I'm really sad this bagel was as flat as cardboard.

Good bagels. Big and fluffy. They do a high volume of bagels. Only good bagel place in this side of bushwick that makes their own bagels. Price can add up if you get lox etc. If you like the big round style of bagels then this is your jam. They have fresh squeezed OJ and seating inside. Also delivers.

Wow oh wow the best bagel I've had in NYC thus far ! My friend ordered a dozen to go which you get a free one if you do :) I wish I got a dozen but decided on two bagels to try since it was my first time there. I got a cinnamon raisin one for my husband and a sundried tomato one for me. I took it home with me and ate it the next day. Omg the sundried tomato one was huge, fluffy on the inside and super delicious! Next time I go I'm def. Getting a dozen before I leave NYC

I had the garlic and herb spread with a sun dried tomato bagel. 10/10. My friend who doesn't like cream cheese absolutely loved this spread. This place was packed in the AM but the service was incredibly fast. The seats were a lil uncomfortable; this problem could be resolved by taking a nice walk around Knickerbocker ave. instead of sitting. Go out and enjoy.

Best bagels in Brooklyn. They're always so fresh and pillowy. I typically get the whole wheat or cinnamon raisin, but I'm sure they're all good.

Knickerbocker bagels has just okay bagels, but pretty nice ambiance and excellent orange juice. I loved the exposed brick and steel aesthetic of the interior, and that there was plenty of indoor seating space to enjoy your bagel. I ordered an orange juice, and despite being obscenely overpriced for such a tiny portion, I must say it was delicious and very fresh. The bagel itself tasted ok and the texture was ok, but did not have the desired craggley, bubbly, crispy crust I look for in a bagel. The bagels were fluffy, a little bit bready. I did however love that they had scallion lox cream cheese.

Sometimes the wait is a little slow to get your food, but it's all delicious. I've gone a few times and had different bagels, and they've always been good. I don't love the salt bagel--a little too much salt for me, but I'm sure someone else would love it!

I'd been craving a lox bagel recently, went to my local bagel spot, and had a not-so-great experience. I decided to try again with Knickerbocker Bagel and my craving was satisfied. I ordered an egg everything bagel with lox, cucumber dill tofu cream cheese, capers, onion, tomato. I also got a fruit bowl and chocolate rugelach. The bagel was good, I do wish there was more salmon and that it had a smokier taste, but overall it was good. I loved that the tofu cream cheese had fresh cucumber chunks. And they didn't skimp on the capers. The rugelach was disappointing. You get one for almost $4. Fruit bowl was good, fresh, but again pricey. I think it was around $5. I'll definitely be trying other bagels here.

Somewhere between a 3 and 4 stars... 4+ stars: -Friendly staff, efficient service. The bagel shop is quite large and runs an organized process. I was here at 8am, so not sure if it gets chaotic later on in the day. -Wide selection! Many bagels, sandwiches, smoothies, wraps, etc. -Large space. I came here with a running group - it was easy for all of us to place our order and find a spot to sit. 3 stars: -The bagels. The bagels are pretty large, and have a nice selection, but the bagel itself was just pretty good. I opted for an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. Overall a pretty good experience!

Visited this spot after leaving urgent care across the street and I can't speak to the service or the ambiance but I can definitely speak to that Greek Omelette platterrrr!! I haven't had breakfast this good that wasn't homemade in a good long while. Eggs and home fries were seasoned perfectly AND it even came with a yummy toasted bagel. Just writing this review make me want to head there again tomorrow for breakfast!

Ok Ok, Best big light and fluffy fresh bagels I've ever had in the city so far. Got half dozen delivered and they were so good I'll be ordering more soon. And need to try some there composed bagel sandwiches. Bagels came fast and also got some good iced coffee drinks. This place is worth checking out!

No air-conditioning in 90 degrees weather. The place is packed, orders take forever. I get it's Saturday Morning, but maybe redesign your ordering to fit the volume? Or, failing that, erm, air conditioning. Also, seems like they're prioritizing online orders. Probably because they don't want to lose business from them for late delivery. Well, I guess you're betting on your local patrons to eat your crap and thank you for it.

Obsessed with Knickerbocker Bagel. Absolutely amazing bagel, I got the everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and lox. Every bite was a delight. The service was impeccable, orderly and kindly. I made a Yelp account just to come on here and sing its praises. The music is fun and everyone is just happy to be here.

Consistently outstanding experience. The bagels are big and properly cooked (boiled/baked). Three cheers for the varieties they offer--pumpernickel everything is amazing. Of course they have mountains of cream cheese and lox and every kind of sandwich imaginable. Plus soups and other bakery goods. It can get super busy (this is a NY bagel bakery!) but worth the wait, and the staff are efficient and kind. The dining area is large and pleasant and I've never not found a seat--on slower weekdays it's not a bad place to take the laptop and work. In a nutshell it's a top-rate NYC bagel experience.

Amazing bagels. Great selection of bagels and spreads. And so much more however not sure why wouldn't get one of these perfect NY bagels. Long line that moves quickly because the staff hustles.

Popular bagel spot, but it just didn't hit for me. Bagel was toasted but wasn't that warm, and loads of butter. There are two types of bagel shops. The ones that take a knife and spread the butter evenly on each side of the bagel, and then there are those that take a heap of butter, place it in between the bagel and just close it. this one definitely just puts a scoop of butter and closes it.

Hands down best bagel I've had while in NYC. Everything with veggie cream cheese and a loxury bagel for my husband. They were huge and yet somehow we couldn't bring ourselves to stop and had to eat the whole thing! Service was both polite and fast.

Having stopped here more than I'd like to admit I'm starting to think this place may be one of the best bagel spots in Brooklyn. Yes its kinda out of the way depending on where you live but the bagels here are definitely worth the trip. Knickerbocker bagel as I said before has the characteristics that make it a damn near perfect bagel! sort of chewy/crispy exterior without it being too doughy in the inside while covered in seeds. Utopia and knickerbocker bagels so far are my top two bagel spots in the whole of NYC!

My go-to bagel place. Very yummy stuff and nice staff. It's often busy, so I recommend ordering off an app for pickup. The orange juice is hella pricey but SOOO delicious. I ordered off the Too Good to Go app today and they let me choose between several huge bags of bagels. Went home and ate one, still quite fresh- going to freeze most of the rest.

Today I ordered a bagel w bacon egg and cheese. The charge was 8.60. What in the world? First the sandwich was cold and tasteless. You can go to any deli and get a way better sandwich and for way less. I suggest just getting bagels here and make it at home. Waste of money. The bagels are decent but there are better prices elsewhere

We had delivery bagels with schmears from here. Pumpernickel, everything, egg everything, sesame and cinnamon raisin. Proper large crispy outside chewy inside water bagels. Great lox spread. Very good cinnamon walnut raisin spread. A side of steamed pastrami was lean and tasty for pumpernickel sandwich. Really good considering delivery. Love to go eat in person next time. Thumbs up!

This place had glowing reviews from friends in the neighborhood, so had to check it out. I cannot oversell this place; I've had many bagels, but the Loxury bagel here ($16) slaps. It's huge (I shared it with another person) and generously loaded with lox! They have an amazing variety of bagel and cream cheese flavors, including garlic and egg everything bagels and jalapeno lox and bacon scallion cream cheeses. There's definitely something for everyone here.

When in New York, you gotta grab a bagel in the morning. While visiting my friend that lives in the Bushwick neighborhood of Brooklyn. We woke up on a Saturday late morning after a night of debauchery and needed food. This bagel spot was nearby and we got there right before the line got long. My friend got a breakfast bagel originally wanted it to be on a roll but they were out. I asked what the most popular bagel was and they said the Loxury (cream cheese, lox, capers, onions, I don't remember if their was tomatoes) all on a bagel. I asked what the most popular bagel is and they said the everything bagel. Once you order up, there are tons of fresh juice drinks, smoothies, and coffee as well to order to. You order then go in another line to wait for your number to be called and to pay. While standing in line tones of locals were super friendly and overheard we were visiting. They raved about the bagels and that you can't go long with the Loxury bagel. They have a ton of drinks at the fridges but one thing I do regret is not getting a fresh smoothie or orange juice. I got a coffee instead which was great but I wanted something a little more refreshing. It got really busy, the line got long and the seats were taken but it was a very steady flow. The music is not too loud and the workers were working very hard and efficient. Glad I got my bagel fix here! There is some street parking in the surrounding area and fairly priced food.

Kendall G.

Yelp
There is no better bagel spot. The bagels are perfectly stretchy and warm on the inside with a crispy golden crust. They have the best cream cheese I think I've ever had. It's so flavorful but not too dense! Also the sandwiches are super well priced compared to others in the Bushwick/williamsburg area. A very large hero is $14! I live in Williamsburg now so I don't come here has often as I'd like but it is so worth the trip every time. This is the spot if you want a great bagel. Just beware though if you go on a weekend morning, there will be a wait! And definitely don't try to order through an app. It can take way over an hour.

Sydney G.

Yelp
Yes. Absolutely love. There's some mediocre bagel places out there, this is not one of them. The service is great, even when it's busy. They're always so happy and energetic. The line moves fairly quick. My go-to is the Spicy Mama (egg, Cajun Turkey, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle cream cheese), sub the chipotle cream cheese for the bacon sriracha (trust me). The bagel texture is beautiful, always fresh. Drink selection is outstanding. Get yourself a probiotic soda to down after that thicc bagel, your stomach will thank you. Any time after 11am during the weekend is usually packed. Early morning or weekdays are your best bet if you're in a hurry.

This was my first time trying a bagel shop in Bushwick and this place definitely hit the spot. The prices were so reasonable compared to the city. In the city it would've been already $10 for anything Lox related. They are so generous with the filling that I couldn't fit the bagel in one bite. I recommend spreading the cream cheese on both sides of the bagel and take it apart to eat. Still delicious, but easier to eat that way. I will definitely be returning if I am in the area!

I am amazed at how awesome this place is. If you're looking for a great place to get delicious bagels and coffee delivered without the drinks spilling and spoiling everything, this is the place. They tightly plastic wrap the entire cup, double cup for sturdiness, and double lid (the inner lid flaps open and close and the outer lid is the one with the natural open spout). There was no drink spillage! I was impressed by their variety of coffee drinks they have to offer. I ended up going with the Dirty Tazo Chai Latte. The coffee delivered was still hot and the drink wasn't too sweet. The egg sandwich was also amazing! I got the 2 egg any style sandwich with a jalapeño bagel, scrambled eggs, American cheese, and turkey. The eggs were light and fluffy, cheese nicely melted within the egg, a great serving of meat, and the softest lightly toasted bagel. I think I've found one of my favorite bagel shops to order from.

OMG, what an experience coming from San Francisco. I ordered the everything bagel with the delicious jalapeño cream cheese - my mouth was definitely in for a treat. I've never had a bagel with the everything seeds on both sides - mind blowing. I enjoyed every single bite so much I visited there 3x in my 10 day trip. Unfortunately, I'm now back home and there is no comparison

I just got the worst (and most expensive) egg and cheese sandwich. My first order on Uber eats and it was awful. It came 23 minutes late, the sandwich was cold, the cheese was unmelted. It was a paper thing slice of plastic cheese. I put it in the oven to warm it up and the cheese still did not melt. No salt in the eggs. I ordered a latte and it is just a regular cup of coffee. I paid $6.00 for that. Will not order again.

Knickerbocker Bagel is a top-tier bagel place in Bushwick. When my partner lived just a few minutes walk away, Knickerbocker was our go-to bagel place. If you walk in on a Saturday or Sunday the line is usually approaching the door and you will wait about 10-20 minutes to get your order and leave... BUT it is absolutely worth it. Loads of bagel options as well as cream cheese spreads. Bagels are nice and chewy with a good amount of seasoning. They also have some tempting looking desserts, which on occasion I've tried 1 or 2 and they were good. We're not so close anymore but we recently ordered delivery and it was just as good as always. Ordered the turkey avocado club which has plenty of meat. Also got a scallion lox bagel with bacon; it was equally satisfying! When I'm in Bushwick, Knickerbocker Bagel is my preferred bagel spot.

JJ S.

Yelp
The service in this spot has been hit or miss since they opened, they know they can get away with bad service since they're one of handful of bagel shops in the area. Food is exposed to flies and I question the quality of the bagels, pastries, etc., especially when they're handled with bare hands. The ambiance is hectic, hostile and overcrowded with people picking up mobile orders, delivery drivers, and people placing in-person orders. Today was my last straw, as they fell back on their disordered ways when placing in-person orders. They choose to expedite certain orders while taking a good while to make others, especially when you arrived before. People behind me literally got their order in 10 minutes or less (ordered the same thing as me, bagels with fillings) while me and someone else had to wait a good while to get ours. I only ordered for myself, and they took quite a while to prepare. They've done this before, so I felt waiting would not be worth it at all. Not recommended.

So the bagel is not bad and they have many options of spreads. The service was also ok nothing to complain or note, but the ambiance... terrible. I would have rated a lil higher as the general store is a very classic bagel shop, but the music they played was just horrendous. They were blasting the literal worst dubstep and gave the whole shop a super weird vibe.

Solid place, nice addition to the neighborhood Great bagel aardvark spread selection Friendly employees, custom salads with no problem . Fresh ingredients and a variety of toppings and dressings available. Fresh homemade soups, toasted bagel chips on the side which is a nice touch. Great breakfast and lunch spot with ample seating. If in the area I wouldn't hesitate going back for breakfast or lunch. Prices on par with the quickly changing neighborhood.

Love this spot! The line can be long but moves quickly. The sandwiches are made fresh, the bagels are hard on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside and the cream cheese flavor variety is unmatched. My favorite is the seasonal cinnamon apple! Can't go wrong with anything here though, down to the endless drink choices. Lots of seating too so perfect for when you need a break from a day of exploring.

This spot never disappoints. You can literally put anything on a bagel here and it'll be amazing because of how fresh these bagels are. Nothing beats a classic New York bagel. Their cream cheese spreads are so unique and flavorful - I can't wait to come back and try more. This is an everything bagel with Egg, American cheese, vegetable sausage, avocado, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cucumbers and mini everything bagel with jalapeño Asiago cream cheese! The mini bagels are great to try the spreads!
