Lot’s-O-Bagels

I use to work in this place and always felt if I leave. I would come back to eat with my friends and family. Quality, quantity, price and people. Probably wouldn’t find in another place. The best place to try and check for self once.

Ordered from this place on seamless and was presently surprised by both the quality of the food I got and the price for it.
It was a tough Saturday morning for me after a night of heavy drinking and I couldn’t possibly leave my bed. After placing an order on seamless for a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and a sesame bagel with cream cheese (total about $ 9 with tax included) I waited for my food. It came 10 minutes earlier than expected and although the delivery guy didn’t follow the directions to call me when he got here he was still really nice and brought me the correct order.
The bagels were fresh, the cream cheese delicious and the bacon egg and cheese was on point. Honestly it’s such a simple order but I’ve seen many other places mess it up. In the end I scarfed down my food and was able to drift into a peaceful nap.
That’s a success in my book.

I like this place for both delivery or take out. I honestly think it’s the exact same as Brooklyn Bagel, so I don’t understand when my friends prefer BB.
The bagels are fresh, esp on the weekends (that’s when I go), and they do a good job with the eggs. Hash browns are also good, although they come with a ton of peppers. It’s like half peppers, half potatoes. Oh well.
Prices are the same as most places. Around $ 4 for an egg and cheese bagel. About $ 9 for cc, lox and tomato on a bagel.
Just renovated, always clean. The people who work here are nice. They move pretty quickly, so even if the line is long, its bearable.

Lot’s-O-Bagels has been my go to bagel spot since moving to Astoria 5+ years ago. When I started going, the bagels were the only reason I went, as the shop was a transplant back to the 80s, but now, it’s a place I like to sit and enjoy my bagel and coffee and surf the net. They did a really nice remodel in early 2015 (or late 2014) and the place is really nice looking and allows for a better flow of customers for how busy it can get. I would recommend Lot’s-O-Bagels over all other shops near by.

LOB is my bagel go to joint. They make pretty good bagels, cream cheese is always fresh and they have awesome portion sizes for the price. Once in a while they’ll mess up a delivery order, but you can’t always get it right. I usually get bagel with lox and cc which is great and affordable. My bf gets egg sandwiches almost every Sunday and they’re pretty good. Not too greasy and you always get what you’re looking for. The remodel this year is really cute. It’s a great place to stop in and grab a bite before getting on the train. The staff is attentive and always nice.

Lot’s-O-Bagels is a bagel joint in Astoria. Take the N/​Q train to Broadway in Astoria.
Just like the other bagel joints in the area, the seating is limited, and there might be a line. The line moves fast, so don’t fret — you’ll get your bagel soon. They give you a good slab of cream cheese. I got the everything bagel with tofu cream cheese. Bagels are fine, not great. Crunchy? Not so much. Fresh? Meh.
I like Brooklyn Bagel that is a short walk a few blocks east.

This is my go to bagel place. I wish they would toast it slightly more and be consistent with the butter, but not enough to complain about it. I’m in there a couple times a week.

So I actually used to work here many moons ago. It was my first job ever lol I can say they have definitely come a long way since I was there. That’s not really including the food because the food was always good. The place itself is larger and a lot more cozier than it used to be and they certainly have added a lot more food to the menu. When I was there, it was just a basic breakfast place. Now they have a bunch of lunch sandwiches and other things they cook. The service is always good as well and the prices are reasonable. Everything bagel is my favorite lol I usually get whatever on one of those bagels. They are obviously made fresh everyday as well. I used to be fascinated by the bagel making process when I worked there haha it’s really cool.
If you’re in the area– make a stop here!

i guess americans must be reeeeally particular about their bagel. im actually surprised to see only 3 – 4 stars overall for this place. im a semi-​new astoria transplant, so i haven’t seen the transformation of this place from what it use to be, but it certainly has a nice vibe to it now.
i like getting the mini bagel and asking for lox spread or lox with cream cheese (easy on the cc!!) they definitely lay on the cream thick (perhaps because they ‘charge a lot for it’?) but either way, people complain.
how can you tell that a bagel is a 6-​pack or not? seriously new yorkers…
extra stars for excellent service. they’re always smiling and friendly even though their customers are sometimes DOWNRIGHT RUDE. chill out, grab your bagel + coffee with decency, and leave. it’s not a gourmet restaurant, and these people work damn hard!!! stop acting so entitled and move back to brooklyn if you miss it so much.

I love the bagels and the owners and I come here all the time but every time I ask for little cream cheese they never listen and put so much… so I called and the girl was just complaining about how her colleague messed up ?? Interesting…
Great place for breakfast overall

Have a plethora of bagels/​spreads to pick from and quick service. The place may be a bit pricey *(see below), but convenient, as they’re one of few places open in the wee hours.
Will recommend if you’re looking for a quick bite. If not, diner around the corner sounds like a better/​more filling idea for the same cash spent here.
*2 C/​C spread bagels and an sausage, egg n cheese for 12 $.

Love their choices of bagels, spreads, coffee and other breakfast options. I usually get the jalapeño cream cheese with whatever bagel I am in the mood for. Their iced coffee is delicious so I grab that and go! However, I’ve tried their egg white omelette which wasn’t to die for, just a regular omelette.
What we do love about it, is the ambiance. The vibe is great and has a Brooklyn feel to the place which we love
The place for a bagel spot is a bit pricey, but overall not too not!

I want to give it 3.5. If I’m on my way to the N or Q I’ll dip in here. Sure they gave themselves a facelift but their bagels and spreads are just ok. I will say that the service here is pretty good. They’re friendly and I’ve seen them deal with a lot of difficult customers with a really cheerful attitude, apparently for some the amount of ice that goes into an iced coffee needs to be calibrated with a graduated cylinder but they’ve dealt with it and make a decent bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel.

Great spot for a quick breakfast, they have a bunch of options, different cream cheese and all.

When I’m feeling lazy (and/​or probably hungover) and don’t want to (can’t) walk the 400 steps to the nearest deli, this place is my jam.
They close early in the day (by 11am I think), so this place is strictly breakfast.
Speedy delivery, hot food, always perfect made to order. They even wrap the coffee in saran to prevent spilling and leakage (because for me, nothing ruins a breakfast sandwich like soaking the bread in coffee).
The bagels are good, though not my favorite in the neighborhood, so this would be a 4-​star review — totally solid and a definite repeat order (since I’ve only ordered 30 or 40 times already in the last few years — yeah, I get lazy A LOT). The 5^th star comes from my experience with them this past week.
When my GrubHub app fritz’d out on me earlier this week and I accidentally put in a pick-​up order, they were super accommodating in swapping it out to a delivery, pretty quick in sending it over, AND when it did arrive, the over-​easy eggs with bacon and cheddar on a croissant were still hot and messy when it had every right to be dried out and cool.
Can’t say for sure that they remade the sandwiches fresh for us, but that there is doubt in my mind gets the extra star.
Damn, now I made myself hungry…

If I had to decide between Bagel Nosh and Lot’s O Bagels, this place wins, hands down. The bagels taste fresher and fluffier. The coffee tastes significantly better. Amazingly better. Like this didn’t come out of a folgers can and was 4 days old brew but they actually mixed it up right and I can even put some soy milk in that sucker if I really want. I come here when I’m starving and on my way to work if I end up spending the night in Astoria, which as of late has been a perpetual weekly habit. Quite a variety of cream cheese and everything is still significantly cheaper than Brooklyn Bagel and at a higher quality than Bagel Nosh. A bagel with special cream cheese plus an iced coffee has always been under $ 5. Booyah. Store is very clean. Service is exceptionally fast I want to add because I jet in here and there’s usually a morning rush hour line and they just push me out in what feels like 90 seconds. Keep in mind though, this place closes by 4pm like numerous bakeries tend to.

This is now actually a place you can sit and eat/​read or meet up with a friend — The renovation has definitely improved the vibe here.
The sandwiches are not bad — not the best I’ve ever had, but satisfying. Agreed that the line is not well-​defined, but what I love is that the employees are always, always friendly. I’ve never had rude service here.

As a new resident of the Broadway/​31^st Street area of Astoria, I was excited to see this bagel place re-​opening just a few blocks away from my apartment. I’m a huge fan of Brooklyn Bagel and New York City Bagel and Coffee House in Astoria (I’m a former Ditmars girl), and I was hoping to find something similar in Lot’s-O-Bagels.
I ordered an everything bagel with whatever jalapeño cream cheese they had to offer, along with an iced coffee.
I was really disappointed. The bagel wasn’t fresh. It tasted a little bit like something I can buy in a pack of six at my local grocery store. The cream cheese was just plain cream cheese with a few pickled jalapeño slices swirled in. The coffee wasn’t any better than what you can buy at the nearby Dunkin Donuts. Everything was edible, but nothing stood out.
Needless to say, I’ll definitely be walking the few more blocks to Brooklyn Bagel from now on for my Sunday morning bagel fix.

I’ll give them 4 stars for the renovations & the place is now clean.
Service is fast, prices are reasonable & pretty decent bagel.
I’m not a fan of mediocre coffee.

So they finally renovated the place. It is beautiful!
Somehow though I noticed that the size of their bagel has gotten smaller. The price of a small bagel is $ 1 and if you want cream cheese that’ll be an extra $ 1.15. In the city, they charge just an additional 75 cents for cream cheese and sometimes 50 cents. I think $ 1.15 is just too much.
