Lula Bagel

I got an egg bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese, it was very yummy but I had to take off a lot of the cream cheese it was too much for me 😅 The coffee is reliable. It’s a good spot overall.

Food was delicious. I especially loved the Whitefish so I placed another order of it and when I did, I saw the two cooks look at the cashier ring it in and then looked at each other and started LAUGHING. It was almost like they were laughing at me for ordering MORE food? Even if they weren’t, they should consider how that can come off to a customer. Took the food and left because it did not make me feel good. Cashier was very sweet though :)

It’s funny to see all the reviews about the bagels being bad. I’ll grant it, they are a little unconventional, but I think they’re really awesome in their own way. A lot of flavor and really pleasantly chewy. Just have to come in open to something a little non traditional. I typically get the bacon egg and cheese and it’s one of my favorites I’ve ever had. The cheese is quality cheddar, the bacon is perfectly done, and I always get mine with the hot sauce which is absolutely killer, super garlicky and so good I had to ask where it’s from (apparently they make it in house). The guy doing the cooking kills it every time and seems like a great guy too. All in all, a really solid establishment, 9/10

Found this place on my way to the 3 train. Conveniently located on my travels for a delicious sandwich. There was a bit of a wait but everything was made fresh. They have a wonderful variety of bagels and cream cheese flavors. Vegan and nut free option. On top of coffee (but cant speak on the quality as I don't drink coffee). As well as other pastries..

The bagel tasted staled. Or day old and I bought it at 11am. I was hoping for a better bagel taste in Brooklyn

Service was good, staff was kind. The price for the quality of the bagels is pretty whack. I’d definitelyyy expect something better for the prices, otherwise I’d just go to the deli for a better sandwich

Probably the best lox bagel I’ve had in my life! They don’t skimp on the lox, which tastes super fresh. The bright burst of fresh dill adds that herbed taste in every bite. The bagel itself was toasted but perfectly soft, not chewy at all. I’m not a bagel connoisseur by any means but I really think this is an awesome bagel! One of the best I’ve had in all my visits to NYC. The staff are cool and nice as well! The pastries and other options looked awesome too :) … I would get the lox bagel again and add onions next time. Soooo good! I ate half because I wanted to save it for later to enjoy again!

Lula Bagel is my favorite neighborhood bagel spot. Their lox bagel with the fresh dill is the best. Always reliable. Nice, casual service, great coffee and pastries too. ♥️

Pro-tip: The sandwiches are a much better value than the bagels. Highlights: The amount of chicken they put in the grilled chicken sandwich is a really good deal and they are also generous with the avocado, which is nice to see these days. I thought the sandwich was delicious. I love the variety of the bagel choices. Lowlights: It's a small place, so it takes some time for the order. I thought the bagel was a little overpriced.

It was my first time in Brooklyn, New York, and we were so impressed by these bagels. We went every single morning to get a bagel and a coffee. The service was friendly and efficient. We loved how when we sat at the tables, we could look at the window at everyone and people watch. We even got extra coffee and bagels to go on our way out, it was hard to go anywhere else.

Time has passed. Seasons change...and I'm glad we're back together. Your staff goes above and beyond to deliver fast and consistent service. I love your selection of cream cheeses and the bagels are chewy, great for sandwiches. Best price per piece in the hood

I love this place. It used to be my go to spot when I lived in the area, and today happened to be that day. Every items it curated with love at least that's how I feel. Anyway stop by, unused food goes to a pantry at night

One of the best bagel shop in Brooklyn! Very underrated! The cleanest so far. The service is impeccable!I highly recommend this bagel store!

Lula Bagel is a gem. I came back recently after 9 years to see if they were still around and they haven't changed. They've kept the same delicious ingredients but also shockingly their prices. In this economy that's big. Amazing service, clean and top notch paninis. Enough said!

I went to Lula's and 777 across the street and got a bacon egg and cheese from both. 777 was much better, 1/3 the price, and much faster. Coffee was not good either. staff was very nice though.

I asked for a plain bagel toasted dark not burnt. Why would they think this was ok? I thought I'll taste it maybe it's not as bad as I think. All I taste is burnt bread.

Delicious Amazing This is a must stop when in Brooklyn. I have never been a huge bagel fan. But these are everything. The service was quick. Seating is limited but good enough for a quick bite. You can order online or at the window. Or even inside. My friends had different coffees and they loved theirs. I will definitely be back.

This place is so nice! The ambiance is perfect it's calm a place you can chill in the morning and eat a warm and delicious bagel! The people working here are nice sometimes I might have to repeat what I say but I believe that's just because they are pretty busy! One thing I would change is the indoor seating is a little uncomfortable but other wise I like this place

I get the same sandwich every time the tuna , with avocado & tomato on a sesame toasted bagel - no matter the price it is my go to every time - perfect

I got an everything bagel with cream cheese. The bagel was dry and hard. It tasted like a bagel you could buy from the grocery store like Thomas's or something, but I actually think those bagels are better. A bagel store should have good bagels and this bagel store does not.

My favorite bagel spot in the neighborhood. They also have great healthy lunch options. I'm so happy they extended their hours.

I am vegan and every now and again I find myself missing a lox bagel on everything. I found this place on Uber eats during one of my I miss lox bagel cravings and I seen that they have a vegan lox bagel and was immediately sold. I must admit that while excited I was nervous about how the taste would translate and interestingly enough the bagel was really good! I've literally been eating them all week and they're satisfying, the flavor profile absolutely mirrors the actual lox and who knew carrots could be so convincing!

Loved this spot! Amazing bacon, egg, and cheese bagel and iced mocha! Tiny little shop, but the line goes quickly and it's worth it. Tried my friends spearmint lemonade and it was delicious too. Will definitely be retuning!!!

THEY DID WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE with this breakfast bagel, baby!! I am normally a bodega baconeggandcheeseonaroll girl myself, but I decided to get fancy because I had friends in town. This bagel was perfection, toasted perfectly, bacon wasn't burnt, good quality cheese. *chefs kiss*. So good I came back the next day. I wasn't sure about the coffee when they handed it to me but once I took a sip... all the doubt left my body. DELICIOUS! Made with love. The line at the order window does get long, so be smart and order ahead. You can sit inside which is cute too. Small and quaint. Enjoy!

cute little coffee shop in the neighborhood. staff are very sweet and their lattes are good! My go to spot for a quick breakfast

Literally so dank. Love. Best matcha I've ever had. Cool workers. Cute shop. I think I'm going to have this for breakfast again tomorrow.

Brought 3 friends here for the first time, and we all got customized bagels and liked it! If you get a bagel with toppings, you may want to split it with someone because the portion is pretty big. I also got a health drink - they have a lot of options! No wait later in the afternoon, may be hard to find seating for more than 2 people.

A very sandwich focused bagel shop. Not the best bagels, but solid ones, and lots of fun options for vegans! I'm pescatarian and prefer to avoid dairy, so I was pleased to order a vegan version of a bagel with lox and the works-- a bagel tofu cream cheese, dill, capers, and carrot lox. The carrot lox was very unique. It was so tender that at first I thought it was made of peppers. It had a very strong, pickley flavor which I thought was a nice substitute. I do still eat lox and like that better, but I'm glad I tried this and would definitely recommend it to vegans and vegan curious folks. The coffee was good. Nothing to write home about, but that's all I really hope for from a bagel shop. There was room for about 8 people to sit outside which was nice. Overall, a good spot for interesting sandwiches and good vibes!

Been here a few times , bagels are good. Love that you can order from the window. I got the whitefish bagel one time and wasn't too crazy about it. The egg and cheese on the scooped out sesame bagel with bacon is my go to. Just make sure to ask them to crisp the bacon or else it comes out really soft. Their tuna salad is also pretty good.

My first breakfast "pre-order" ever, comes courtesy of Lula Bagel. I was up real late the night before, watching zombie flicks and thinking about the next day's breakfast. I got online and scheduled a food delivery for 930AM. Right now, I'm dining on a toasted, buttered, onion bagel with bacon, spinach, cheddar and tomato. Washing it all down with a tall iced latte. Everything is scrumptious and extra points to Lula Bagel for arriving 10 minutes early. I'm so pleased.

Honestly did not feel like cooking breakfast this morning. Food apps are the backbone of my world world, man. Thank god. Ordered a bagel with lox, cream cheese, and red onions on a sesame bagel and now I need nap fresh salmon, huge bagel, definitely two servings for me, and delivered super quickly. A new go to bagel spot?

Not a good place to eat last time I ate here a turkey sandwich on a croissant they didn't toast it how I ordered and the Turkey was yuck .. service is watered down prices is to high for nothing 12-14 for a sandwich on a croissant or even the tiny sub it's not worth the food or wait , the ambience is very dry and disturbing people are too close to each others food.

Our favorite local bagel shop, even our dog knows to stop when we pass it. Love their bagels, coffee, wraps, and salads.

Quality bagels and great ingredients made for a good takeaway experience and saved this review from the mediocre service.

I really enjoyed my egg salad bagel. Their coffee was decent too. My friend and I sat and enjoyed our bagel breakfast before setting off to the museum to see Frida. While the bagels and vibe were nice (think spring and birds), the ordering experience wasn't the best. The girl taking the order didn't seem to know exactly what she was doing. The other girl behind the counter was clearly annoyed with someone or something, and the regulars behind us were in a hurry, and thus visibly annoyed with us taking too long to order. There is also no bathroom for public use, even if you decide to sit and eat here. So while I did enjoy my meal, I would probably look to try other places first before returning.

- I thought the bagel was kind of soft, for it to be "toasted" - They loaded my bagel with cream cheese (although I aske for lioght) - Coffee wasn't that great - They were kind of stingy with the bacon o my BLT - There's a wide variety of menu options - the line numbers go from 0 to 10, rell quick * don't get stuck vacillating

this particular morning i had no time to make breakfast. It was a humid day, i was feeling very sick and this was my first time in the neighborhood. This cozy little vintage nook does not have a restroom but that is not the only issue. The issue here is how my tragic bagel looked. My bagel was burned. My bagel barely had any egg. My bagel barely had any cheese. I had sent a photo to my cousin who's a the head of administration at a hospital her response was "Do not finish that!" Enclosed is the roasted bagel with burnt egg and half a cube of cheese: Dear Business owner, I would gladly accept an apology.

i was overcharged. i paid $8.75 for salmon and all i got was two pieces! this is a scam. also their bagels are absolutely dry and not well tasting. do not eat here. you can get better bagel at the deli.

Good vegan options & service! They accidentally gave me a regular lox bagel instead of a vegan one, but they fixed it really quickly, no questions asked . Really appreciated that!

We are so happy there is a local bagel shop in the area. Fortunately, this place did not completely shut down during Covid and adjusted their business during these difficult times. Also, the delivery is timely. I will say, it is on the pricier side BUT it's so worth it. Better than the other local delivery shops on door dash and seamless BTW. I typically get the salmon and capers. Classic. Always made well while my boyfriend likes to order random things off the menu. Thank you to Lula Bagel team for serving delicious bagels for New Yorkers!

Coffee needs work or should I say the guy in the front needs a coffee himself to wake up. Asked for a large iced latte, he looked at me like I asked for a kidney. He said the latte only comes in small. I pointed at the large cup and said can you please give me extra ice and put in to that large cup - I'll pay extra. He looked again at me like I asked for the meaning of life and said "No". I'm not asking to cure world hunger here - just asking for a large iced latte in the middle of summer. PS the scallion cream cheese on everything bagel is worth the cold reception

I ordered an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese. The bagel itself tasted a bit stale also kind of hard. It unfortunately arrived cold as well. But taste wise the lox is fresh and delicious.

This place is just okay. It's good if you really want a bagel and don't want to walk to Franklin Ave, but it's sub par at best. They're friendly and have quick service, but they've messed up my order a handful of times and there are much better bagels in the area. And what they try to pass off as pumpernickel just makes me sad- I'm pretty sure it's just a wheat bagel. Updating my review 3 and a half years later to say that they still get my order wrong nearly every time. The last four times in a row my bagel has been wrong. I've been coming here for 4ish years and this issue has never improved. It's still just so-so.

I ordered for pickup via Seamless yesterday. #5 turkey with mozz, red peppers, garlic mayo -- YO for $11 [$9.75 + tax], I would expect the fucking panini to have more than 3 thin ass slices of turkey [see pic]. There was like no garlic mayo - certainly didn't taste like garlic. 2 small pieces of roasted red pepper. The bread was extra soggy. Sandwich wasn't worth the money. I'm extremely disappointed. Must be all the gentrifiers who are praising this place, bcuz IT AIN'T SHIT! oh, and when I went to pick up the sandwich - the dude at the counter was rude af, he acted like I was disrupting him.. ummm. C YA NEVER LULA BAGEL. #wack

The bagel sandwich I got here was pretty good but nothing spectacular. I like that I could order at the window and not go inside, and that Lula offered two different types of vegan cream cheese (regular tofu and jalopeño tofu). However, the amount of cream cheese on the bagel was pretty thin. Our total cost for 2 whole wheat everything bagels with jalopeño tofu cream cheese, onion, tomato, and avocado was $17.50, which seems very steep (adding avocado costs $2.50 - much more than other bagel places I've been to). The sandwich was good but nothing special.

I've been going to lula bagel since before its reconstruction, and I feel as if the quality has gone downhill. They gave me an iced tea without notifying me they were without mint. The inside of the bagel always has like 4 shards of lazily cut onions.. no greens or anything. Sporadically there is someone friendly selling me something. The bagels themselves are not bad, but it's New York. There are good bagels everywhere. Overall just kinda overpriced and average.

Altogether cool but meh food experience. The coffee is good and you can add CBD (lol) to your tea, so these things are a plus and earn the stars here. You can sit in this place but counter/table space is limited in quantity and comfort. Great music/vibes. Unfortunately for them, Colina Cuervo across the street still objectively has them beat for coffee anyhow and is more my style aesthetically. Reviews about bagels (it's in the name) from this place makes me wonder if people have had bagels almost anywhere else in the 5 boroughs. Bagels are ok and left me wanting; the everything bagel with cream cheese is what I use as my metric. Not sure if they're baked on premises, but would find it hard to believe as they lack physical space. They taste ok (trends toward bread rather than bagel) but lack bite. Everything seasoning was standard. Wouldn't do scrambled eggs for my girlfriend, only fried. Those processes are not all too dissimilar, but service was minimal. Funny thing is Lula Bird next door (obviously same owner) is ~phenomenal~ and will be even more so once they figure out in-store logistics of ordering/paying.

Sorry, I used to love you guys but I can't with this. I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. Look at the size of this bagel... and look at how much everything seasoning is on it.. and wait! It's burnt inside. You don't deserve my tip.

I first tried this gem while I was dying from a hangover. 5 stars for restoring life. Now I love taking my laptop and working from this cozy little spot. They, of course, have wifi, as well as a convenient little printer. Big windows to watch the city streets while you sit. I could probs get a pizza for the price, but the Everything Bagel is everything to me. I also tend to customize my orders because bacon. Luckily the staff is chill and they don't try to rush my indecision. ‍

This place is pretty good the prices are fair, I don't wanna badmouth them but I have to share my experience this morning, they don't have an email address otherwise I would have emailed them. I ordered a bagel w lox, cream cheese & everything, and I'm waiting almost 20 minutes. from 9:17 (says on the receipt) to 9:35. It wasn't even toasted (they didn't ask and I didn't care, I'm just saying it shouldn't take that long). I realize that there's a ton of people who order online and this is the future, but it kinda sux to just be waiting outside for almost 20 minutes, and when you ask about your order you get ignored, and you see like 15 people walk up after you and leave before you. I'm just saying here that maybe a little more care could be shown to the people who just walk up the old fashioned way and order a breakfast sandwich before work, like maybe tell them their estimated wait time when you have a million online orders that I guess you have to get to first... I have to go now some neighborhood children are playing on my lawn and i have to yell at them. (ok last line was a joke but come on man...)

Sunday, 9/12/2021 around 8 a.m. Order was taken quickly but, it took awhile to get 2 Bagels and 2 coffees. Bagels were very stale even after they toasted them. One was a plain with peanut butter and jelly and the P&J was spread so thin it was ridiculous. Other was an everything with lox spread. Not edible as the lox spread was spoiled and as soon as it was unwrapped the other person across 5he room smelt it. Tossed it in the trash where it belongs. Coffees were not even hot and being that they had a sip top and no stopper they, kept spilling out during my 3 block walk. So, this lesson cost over $20. I tried to give this business a try but, very disappointed so, back to the corner deli I go.

Honestly, I wish another decent bagel spot would open up in the neighborhood because Lula is truly subpar. I've been coming here purely due to convenience for 3+ years and it's been consistently crappy. The food is "meh" at best. The waitstaff is rude and indifferent. The only things it has going for it is the location and the fact that Colina Cuervo (spot across the street) is usually crowded.

I love their pesto and mozzarella sandwich... definitely one of the best places in Crown heights for a quick snack or breakfast.

First off just some updates for some of the comments who are confused. Yes, the BACON EGG AND CHEESES are not $3.50 from a standard bodega because 1) the bagels are freshly delivered everyday from one of the top local bakeries 2) the bacon is cooked fresh and isn't hard crispy old bacon and 3) it's freaking bomb and you can customize it with anything you want! Secondly- if you are getting "subpar" food and drinks, maybe you might try ordering from the variety of a menu :) Thirdly, I have been coming here for years. Yes, sometimes the staff might be a little rushed because they are so darn busy from being so darn good all the time! The staff looks consistent as well- meaning they probably have a great boss and work their butts off- so, cut them some slack- hey this is Brooklyn! & also- if you ask there is a restroom you may use. No one will refuse you that. Try the #5 and am original cold brew or even a dirty iced chai! You can't go wrong by going here. Get out of your bubble and try communicating and talking with the staff as well- I bet you won't be disappointed as they are very sweet! Enjoy!

Lula Bagel, I'm not sure what I did to deserve you and that perfectly crispy, wonderfully smoky bacon you blessed me with this morning. I'm really at a loss for words to adequately describe how satisfying my bacon egg and cheese on an onion bagel was. All I know is that I am definitely going to be ordering from here again and trying other things on their menu, especially if they involve more of that bacon.

Fresh pastries, large drink menu and a darn good bagel to start your day...whenever that is (they close at 7.) Great service. WiFi. Might be a line- but it's fast moving and worth the wait.

Holy moly is Lula a score. I originally stopped in because they have a Print With Me machine, but Serious Heavenly Bagel Vibes persuaded me to stay for a bite. I got an untoasted pumpernickel bagel with scallion cream cheese, cucumber, and a heavy dose of their homemade hot sauce, which has a sweet, numbing, Korean spicy profile. One word: amazing! I also got a mint lemonade, which needed to have been just a little more tart to be absolutely perfect. But it was still a delicious beverage. I'm already crying big carby tears that I don't live closer, and I'll take any opportunity to return. Service was kind and efficient. There's a decent amount of seating inside and out.
