Leo's Bagels

Bought twice through a third party app. The service is great, the person who served me is always patient and polite. The bagels are fresh and really tasty. They last pretty nicely throughout the week, they don't get tough or stale. I look forward to buying again!

Went with the Catskills bagel. It’s sloppy. Bagel hard to chew. Size was decent. Satisfactory for the price. Overwhelming with the amount of cheese and condiments. Not excellent but good. It filled me up. So worth it for the price. I may visit again and give them another try. Order something less complicated. There is counter seating along the windows. Was busy during lunch hours. Tourists and local workers but I snagged a seat.

Maybe the best bagel I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a few. Look at the pic and see the cheese melt split. With a quality deli and kitchen, the combinations are endless and each variation is quality. A must visit in NYC, and will def be coming back.

Fantastic bagels shop, bagels are fresh, well loaded and very tasty. Bagels are on the higher price but for the location and great quality I think they are worth it. Limited seating inside but there is a small park next door if the weather is good to sit outside.

Very busy but this is very classic New York City. Bagel. There wasn't anything profouindly innovative but the bagel shop delivered. Texture was unique salt of the salmon + onion + creaminess of the cream cheese and teh crunchiness of the onion and bread. I don't have any complaints :) Bagels taste fresh cooked as well. Lot of people but the service was patient. Wasn't overly hospitable, but within normal range.

Solid spot for high-quality bagels with a massive variety of toppings. I had "The Whole Shebang": great flavor and very filling, though definitely pricey. The staff is friendly, but keep in mind that seating space is very limited. You’re paying a premium, but the quality is there.

The establishment offers exceptional bagels; however, the service provided by a staff member named Loreto Garcia leaves much to be desired.

Bagel was amazing but what really stood out was the kindness of one particular worker. While waiting in line, a lady came in yelling for someone to buy her a bagel and instead of letting the situation escalate, the nice man behind the counter simply asked her what she wanted and gave her a sandwich free of charge. Was a touching reminder of the goodness of humanity.

We got everything bagel with smoked salmon with jalapeño cream cheese loved it . The only recommendation will be get one for 2 people it's huge. Don't get regular coffee there it wasn't good. For 2 coffees, 3 everything bagel with salmon and one plain we paid $67 .

Zero taste... really confused why this place exists. No line and did I mention, zero taste? We got the Everything with Sundried tomatoes and Garlic cream cheese (no taste) Super disappointing!

Unfortunately this bagel ranks at the very bottom of bagels I've had in the past decade. I ordered a sesame bagel with cream cheese and it came burned and was slightly flattened. I thought I had taken a photo but I can't find it. If I do I'll add it to show the charring. With so many other places to get a bagel from in the city, I won't be returning, especially since they aren't cheap.

GREAT bagel joint!! Good service and with super yummy super short wait time. Definitely a must stop for all bagel lovers

Great choice for a NY bagel. We had poppy seed, plain, and a black and white cookie. Can't go wrong with Leo's.

Coming here, it didn't seem too busy today. I got their belly lox bagel. For the bagel, I had egg everything. I usually get either strawberry cream cheese or scallion cream cheese, but I saw that they had a sun dried tomato and roasted garlic cream cheese and decided to get it. I don't usually see that personally so I was glad to try something different!

I've come here quite a bit through the years. Their wait time/speed has definitely improved with the expanded space! Pretty good bagels, not my favorite but a reliable option. Egg sandwiches always stuffed quite nicely, so half is filling enough for me. Usually grab it to go, since there's a few stools, but do sometimes see people eating inside, so it can be an option if you hit timing well.

Although this place was packed with people, the line was well organized, staff handed out menus and the cashier was calm and pleasant. The restaurant was clearly used to handling a busy bagel shop on the weekend and they were very efficient. The food was ready fairly quickly. The bagels were really fresh and the perfect combination of a bit of chewy texture on the exterior and softness inside.

Really, really good NYC bagels. Warm and chewy, with just the right amount of bite! They even have delicious gluten free bagels! Stopped by for breakfast in the Financial District before heading to Wall Street and the WTC. Service was friendly and efficient. It was a bit crowded, which is a sign of a great eatery, but we didn't wait long. Limited counter seating inside. Clean, bright, great vibes.

I ordered a Too Good To Go surprise bag from here and was pleasantly surprised! I was given more than a dozen bagels of different varieties and all very fresh! Fresh being the kind where the bite is soft and chewy. The bagels are also pretty sizable! I can't speak about ambiance or service, as I was only there to pick up the bagels. But, 12+ fresh bagels for $5.99 is a deal! I appreciated the owner waiting for me as I arrived slightly after the pick-up time. Based on the bagels alone, I'd give this place 5-stars and I'd most definitely welcome returning here for a proper meal.

we came at around 3pm on a saturday afternoon. it was not super busy at this time. i wanted to pay cash but their cash register that took cash was being sorted at the moment, so i had to pay card, which was a bit annoying but not the biggest deal. given that the store wasn't too busy, our bagels were ready in just a few minutes. they hand you the bagel over the counter with a smile which is a nice touch haha. these bagels were HEFTY and thick. i got the whole shebang on an untoasted plain bagel. the bagel texture was perfect, a nice crisp exterior with the perfect chewy soft inside. the cream cheese was delicious and as with any cream cheese nova bagel, the flavors all just melded together so perfectly with the tangy and soft cream cheese, the crunchy cucumber, sour capers, and melt in your mouth nova. this was just a perfect bagel sandwich. i was sad when i took my last bite. as per nyc standards, this bagel came out to $18, quite expensive. but i'm thankful that at least it was so so delectable.

Was staying at a hotel on Wall Street and I Postmated Leo's on a Sunday a.m. I ordered the egg everything bagel toasted with scallion cream cheese. The bagel was divine, however, the cream cheese to bagel ratio was a bit overpowering. All in all, a solid bagel in NYC. Would rank in the top ten.

Excellent New York Bagels! We stayed in this neighborhood on our last visit to NY and I decided to try Leo's Bagels. Very happy to report that their BEC sandwich was just perfect.

Buzzy and busy bagel spot! Make your own or pick from their menu, be ready this place goes fast! Grab a bagel and head to the battery!

I bought this thinking it would be overpriced and tiny. Thankfully, it wasn't and was reasonably priced. So that left us pretty well off for the day.

Got the Boychick and an everything bagel with cream cheese. The everything bagel actually tasted seasoned. So many everything bagels just taste like a plain bagel with texture but it was seasoned and very tasty. Great slight crunch with a soft inside. My first time trying potato latke on the Boychick and didn't really care for it, didn't add much to the bagel and made it feel heavy for me. The lox spread was good. Small place like most nyc bagel spots seem to be. 8/10

Excellent and quick service bagel shop in Manhattan with delicious breakfast selection!

Got sun dried tomato and roasted garlic cream cheese with tomatoes on a toasted green everything bagel (they were sold out of normal color everything bagels when I went, and instead they had a green version for St. Patrick's Day). A pretty good place for a bagel. The cream cheese wasn't too crazy or slathered on too thick and the flavor itself was yummy. The bagel was fluffy and not toasted too hard, and I loved the seasoning on top. The roasted garlic pieces really added a nice flavor. Would return again if I was in the area.

I hadn't been on Leo's in ages, but I stopped by last week for a bagel when I was in the area. It's always a busy place, and that morning was no exception. That's probably why they got my order wrong. I ended up paying $20 for a bagel that was supposed to have cream cheese and sturgeon, but when I bit into my bagel after leaving the shop, I realized there wasn't any sturgeon on it. I had paid $20 for a bagel and cream cheese. Otherwise, I thought the taste of the bagel (pumpernickel) and cream cheese were good, and the service at the counter was good. But it was a bummer of a visit because of the mixup.

Picked up a couple of bagel sandwiches from Leo's on a holiday afternoon when they were not crazy busy. Had the Boychick specialty breakfast sandwich on a toasted sesame bagel which was pretty good but could have used a little more salmon and also Shrimp Salad on a toasted cinnamon bagel which was not bad.

Leo's is a FiDi staple, one of the best bagels in the area. They have a good mix of bite on the exterior and doughy chewy interior. I recently picked up 20 bagels for an event and they price a bakers dozen (14 bagels) at the same price as a dozen individual bagels $25.80, as long as you choose from a specific list of flavors, which encompasses your general favorites like everything, sesame, poppyseed, egg, plain, cinnamon raisin, onion, just to name several. Any extra individual bagels up to the next bakers dozen are at the single price of $2.15 each. Cream cheese starts at $4 for the smallest container, $7 for the the 1/4lb container, kinda pricey though it's hard to get fresher whipped style cream cheese elsewhere. Service is fast, blunt and on point, they run like a well-oiled machine. Mornings usually mean a short line but it moves quickly and you'll be in and out of there in 10 minutes. A handful of seats but don't expect to bring a large party or hang out for a while, quarters are tight and a steady stream of patrons will be brushing past you. I haven't tried their bagel sandwiches mostly bc I'm not a huge fan of more than a very slight schmear of cream cheese on my bagels, though some people really enjoy them.

Delicious bagels in the financial district. I liked the convenient location close to the Staten Island ferry and subway stations. The interior is somewhat small with limited seating so my partner and I ended up eating outside. Fast paced environment! The bagel was perfectly chewy and the pastrami was so amazing. Ordering is a bit confusing because all the toppings come separately. It was a bit pricey at about $19 for a bagel sandwich.

I had this place saved for some reason but it was probably by mistake. We were in the area hungry and saw leos bagels. We walked in, got in the queue, ordered, and waited. Although we were occupied by amazement in work ethic and chaos, we waited about 30 min for three bagels....When we got the bagels they were soggy, not toasted at all, no fluffiness, and the fillings were just ok. Not worth the drive nor wait.

Overall this shop was decent. The people were nice and they quickly made the orders even though it was so busy so that was good. However, the bagel wasn't the best I've had. Additionally the classic had way too many onions. The salmon quality was actually really good though. There is limited seating inside but there is an outside seating area along the "park" that was ok but then you have to deal with the pigeons. Would not come here to seek the best bagel in nyc but it's a good option in fidi.

Yes $20 for a bagel sandwhich is quite insane but I'd do it again because this was heavenly. I got the hanover hangover and added avocado mash and it was bigger than my head. Definitely recommend sharing this! The potato latke complimented well with the sausage and egg but I do wish the cheese was melted. The service was pretty quick and my friend and I had no problem finding seating inside. Decorations were standard but I do like the high bar seating against the window. Overall, if it won't break your bank, would definitely give this place a try.

Leo's Bagels, nestled in Manhattan's Financial District is a cherished spot for authentic New York bagels. Established in 2007 by Adam Pomerantz, a former Wall Street executive turned bagel artisan, Leo's pays homage to traditional Jewish appetizing culture, offering hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels made in small batches for optimal freshness. Leo's bagels are celebrated for their ideal balance of a crispy crust and chewy interior. They come in various flavors, including cinnamon raisin, sesame, and everything. The cream cheese selection is extensive, featuring options like jalapeño, kalamata olive, and maple-raisin-walnut . And believe me u only need one bc half the sandwich is more than enough. Leo's Bagels stands out as a top choice for traditional New York for sure. Its commitment to quality and authenticity makes it a must-visit for bagel (or carb) enthusiasts. While the small space might not be so ideal especially during busy hours butttt so very worth the wait!!

I got the whole shebang and it was tasty but the price was pretty crazy ($17.25) I'm new to NY bagels so I can't speak to the quality compared to other NY places but I would come back here. I got it on a garlic bagel. Service is pretty fast here and it's not the most comfortable dine-in vibe since it's crowded so I would opt to take it to go.

This was recommended to me by the excellent barista down the street, and it was a top notch bagel. So fresh and soft! The staff was friendly and efficient. The omelette on the sandwich made me miss my New Orleans spices, but to each their own.

Accidentally stumbled across this nice and clean deli in The City. It was busy so we knew it was going to be good. We ordered and our food came out fairly quickly. The portions were huge and everything inside was fresh EXCEPT my bagel. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because my Garlic Bagel was definitely a bit stale. My boyfriend's sesame bagel was so tasty and fresh and classic bagel but mine was just hard to bite out of and chew. You could definitely tell there's a difference. I know they are capable of serving great bagels I'm just a bit sad with my experience.

Salted bagel with avocado mash is so damn good! Perfect saltiness of the bagel and chewiness, and the avocado is fresh and creamy. YUM!!! I would get this every day if I could!

The first time I visited I had the traditional with multi grain and I loved it. There was a thick layer of salmon and the bagel was kind of soft. Look at the beautiful bagel, half of it was salmon. HOWEVER, I came back today and had the whole shebang because I wanted to try the scallion cream cheese. While the cream cheese was better but the amount of salmon was atrocious!!!!! And I got the everything bagel, it was very tough, my jaw was hurting. So I'm not sure.... Maybe I was just unlucky.

I was craving a bagel and this place didn't disappoint. It was a great walk up spot with many options. I'm pretty plane Jane and got a bagel with cream cheese and it was delicious. They are very generous with the cream cheese! When we went in the line wasn't too bad but within minutes it was wrapped around the store. Surprisingly enough they had us in and out of there pretty quick. Not much space for seating but perfect for on the go!

Amazing Bagels.. Fresh and ready to go. From the bagels to the over 15 types of fish to add on their bagels including spreads. The catering options are excellent as well. The service can be a bit brash at times and no one really greets you but once you get past that the food is worth it. The ambiance is neat and clean. It's gives off a tourist attraction vibe as I saw ppl taking pictures with their families inside. Good stuff.

What a great local bagel spot! A friend recommended we try it out and so we swung by for some breakfast. The place was packed! But the line moves quickly. We got the Hanover Hangover on an everything bagel and an everything bagel with the sun dried tomato and roasted garlic spread. The bagels were well toasted and super fluffy on the inside. They really packed the sandwich - made it worth the $16. I would come here again! I'm interested to try their other spreads and bagels. For gluten free folks - they have a dedicated GF station (from what I could see)

Good place, they are busy, but quick, lox tasted nice. Perfect bagel small when you come in

Bagels are made fresh and you can taste it on first bite and they are super soft as well. Service is usually quick when lines get busy, but early mornings are best I usually get my LEO (lox, eggs and onions) omelette on a multi grain bagel with ketchup!!! Price is definitely up there in terms of nyc value but you get a top of the line bagel sandwich in the area. So definitely stop by Leo's Bagel, enjoy the ambiance of food extravaganza and treat yourself

Great bagels in Fidi. However it's often really busy - so you'll have to get there early. Inside , the line snakes around and you'll need to know what you need to order because it's fast paced. I have enjoyed lox bagels, cheese smear and bacon egg and cheese I find Leos is a bit more expensive than some other bagel places in the area.

Food: I highly suggest the one and only Bennys Club, scooped out on a plain bagel add jalapeño cream cheese and extra bacon (drools lol) I used to work here after college so I've tried almost every bagel this is the one that is lunch and dinner lol I've had my fair share of bagels in NYC, but this sandwich is in a league of its own. Every bite has the perfect mix of flavors and textures salty, savory, creamy, and crunchy. Seriously, bagel sandwiches don't get better than this! Plus, the vibe at Leo's is unbeatable. Even during a busy rush, the staff kept things moving fast and with a smile. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely brunch, Leo's Bagels is the place to be. If you're in the Financial District and looking for a bagel that'll blow your mind, you have to try the Benny Club. It's a bagel sandwich that's worth every bite! Shoutout to Ronny the manager he still remembered me years later lol

Got sesame with cream cheese and jelly. Excited about the tofu cream cheese options too, maybe next time! Great bagel, very soft and the toppings were very generous !!

I've been to Leo's Bagels as few times. Never disappoints. Bagel has a nice crust and a delicious chewy inside. My go to is "The Whole Shebang" Salmon lox and smear with capers, tomatoes and cucumbers. DELICIOUS! I walk a few blocks and find a bench on the water and enjoy my bagel while watching the activity of New York around me.

Whether you want a plain bagel, bagel with toppings or a deli sandwich type bagel, this is your place in FiDi! So many choices. Price range for items can rage from affordable to pricy, but you get what you pay for. Bagels were on the harder side for me, it did not have the chew that I love. Line can be long some times, but we ordered for pick up so we were able,to "grab and go".

NYC Bagels are truly something else @leosbagels We grabbed breakfast at @leosbagels in NYC financial district before exploring Wall Street and NYC financial district. The portions are huge and they're challenging to finish in one sitting...order 1 bagel sandwich per 2 people or save the other half for your midday snack. They offer preset bagel sandwiches as well as build your own bagels. We ordered from both. They had a unique cinnamon raisin walnut cream cheese which was absolutely delicious and I wish more stores offered this flavour. Food 5/5 Ambiance Service 5/5 Seating availability (there's a total of ~10 window seats)

Leo's is a typical NYC style Jewish deli. The nice thing they have going for them is the ambiance (exposed brick, beautiful tiling), and just a very efficient ordering line. HOWEVER, the lady yelling numbers occasionally mumbles and if you ask to clarify what she has yelled, she is very angry and upset you've come up to ask her what number she just yelled. The wait for the food does take a bit of time. It took about 25 minutes to get our food from getting in line to walking out with our food. The bagels themselves are ok. But they totally got our order wrong and then didn't include the whitefish salad we paid for. However, we didn't notice until we were a mile away and already started eating our meal. We got a beca, the maven, the whole shebang and requested all of those to be toasted. Aside from the whitefish salad, we also ordered a large coffee and two bagels to go that were NOT supposed to be toasted but came toasted, a shame cause they are being brought home in another state and now will be dry. The breakfast bagels were pretty well stuffed, but two of them were not toasted, though they were supposed to be. For gluten free bagels, they were good but not a one to one substitute for regular gluten bagels. I don't think I'd recommend this place if you're coming to NY. It's a decent place cause it's not too touristy, but the experience and being shorted our whitefish salad just cemented that we won't be back even though one in our party lives just down the street.

Great Bagel Breakfast sandwich from Leo's. Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

We were downtown and visited an old fave Leo's Bagels. Expanded digs looked great and the place was as busy as ever. Took a while to get our order and the lady offered me a free coffee for my wait which was super nice. I had a pumpernickel with lox spread which was yummy. We had the BEC with a Latka messy but good. Some quibbling about how bacon could be crispier but I digress. We also got the BECA on a sesame. Angel which was well received. Since we were going to an exhibit we didn't get bagels to bring home but after all this time Leo's is still great.

Very tasty. This place was extremely busy with a line out the door. No place to sit. But it had good bagels.

I had been in a wet bliss of imagination and excitement because I was in NYC and the bands of Tropical Storm Ophelia was hitting NY FiDi hard. I had been thinking what other type of foods New Yorkers love to eat when getting breakfast and I went to my friends Instagram to see that she loves bagels. This beautiful place was 5 mins walking distance from my hotel. It was still raining and I was in need of breakfast. I came in and the place was clean, service was fast and customer service was A++. I didn't know what to order because I wanted everything. I had to mentally tell myself "Vanessa, STOP EATING WITH YOUR EYES!!" and therefore I saw THE BECA. Avocado mash, Cheddar, 2 fluffy eggs and bacon. Lots of bacon. I was sold and the person who was making it suggested to use "everything bagel" but I didn't have any floss with me so I chose their freshly baked warm plain bagel. I surely was not disappointed. However, the bagel sandwich was huge. I would've definitely split it with someone because half of the bagel went to waste. I could not eat the other half. My time there was meaningful and memorable. I will return but maybe just a plan bagel with my fav butter and a coffee. Thank you for the service, mi gente.

I can agree that these are probably the best bagels in the area, but definitely not the best bagels in NY. The place is cute and looks like a very traditional deli, small so if you are planning on eating there, be careful it gets very busy, specially on a Sunday. It was a little loud but the staff was nice and very efficient as they took our order and served us. I tried the hanover hangover which had potatoes sausage egg bacon, I mean need I say more.... and my boyfriend had the Leonardo, both very solid sandwiches, huge with very generous portions inside, but the Bagel itself was a little hard, maybe not as fresh that day? I dont know They did have a selection of shmear that looked amazing, so I will be going back to try it! And hopefully the bread will be a little softer

This spot was convenient to the Financial District and easy to get to, didn't have to wait long and they have a pretty nice selection of bagel flat and cream cheese. They also have an assortment of sandwiches available, but I opted for bagel and cream cheese which was very good. Price for one bagel with cream cheese was about $7.00 which is probably about average for New York I guess but didn't expect it to be that much.
