Bagelsmith

Bagelsmith is a good neighborhood bagel shop. We stop in pretty regularly and the bagels are usually very fresh. Nothing to write home about, but a good easy spot.

Decent bagels. Got a pumpernickel everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese for $ 3.80, so a bit on the pricier side. It was big and satisfied my starving stomach, so no real complaints.

Fast service, pretty cool set up with lots of choices of beverages, beers along with the sandwich and bagels. No minimum for credit card plus some seating by the window and waiting bench outside was cool.
Bacon, Egg and Cheese on everything bagel was fairly good — Fresh bagel!

Great customer service. Super convenient location. Bagels are fresh, but if you like flavored cream cheese, specifically strawberry, don’t do it here. It’s plain old cream cheese with a couple of strawberries sprinkled in. You guys can definitely do better in this area.

Rude, terrible service. Bagels just ok. Not worth the hassle. Awful communication. Bad system. Just terrible! Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

Quality is actually quite good but it’s true that it takes forever to get your order (maybe because it used to be so popular?!) and the staff (especially at the counter) doesn’t care about their customers, not even bothering to thank them for their order, keeping on chatting with their ‘friends’, barely acknowledging you!

By far my favorite bagels in New York. The quality is consistently amazing and they are so nice here.

I mean, I like this place just fine. I come here all the time.
They’re open 24 hours. They accept card with no minimum. And they have bagels! What more could you ask for?

No complaints. Surprised to see bad reviews. All the girls at the counter were very cool and nice. The bagels were perfect. Will definitely come again.

This has been my go-​to bagel shop since moving to williamsburg. But I hate to say I was very disappointed with my order today. Ordered a bacon and egg sandwich with eggs over easy but they came out scrambled. That wasn’t a big deal but I also ordered my girlfriend a bagel with whitefish salad and the amount of white fish was laughable.

Being a bagel-​obsessed person, I’ve always struggled with the fact that most bagel places close early. I present to you a bagel shop that’s open 24 hours (!!!)
This place is great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even late night. They’re very friendly, quick service, and have solid food. The bagels aren’t the best I’ve ever had (the reasoning for the 4 vs. 5 stars… they could use more seasoning on them), but they’re pretty delicious still. They also have very good bagel sandwiches, especially the chicken cutlet one.
So, whether you’re considering a bagel for breakfast or thinking «bagel or pizza» at 4am after the bars, I highly recommend Bagelsmith.

I visit often to order the Ortiz Special – pastrami, egg, cheddar cheese, avocado, and hot sauce on a toasted pumpernickel bagel. So good. Only problem is the price varies depending on (a) the cashier and (b) how I recite the order. If I lead with egg and cheese, it’s almost always cheaper than if I lead with pastrami.

After waiting an hour for delivery of a bagel that takes .5 minutes to prepare, I received a cold bagel with a cute post-​it note attached.
The post-​it note reads, «I received the wrong order & Bagelsmith asked me to wrap it back up & give it back. Enjoy! xoxo»
Do you know how hard it is to look at a bagel and not be able to eat it? Torture. Probably what the US did to Iraqi prisoners.
Grosssssssssssssssssssss

Well I’ve had an up and down relationship with the Bagelsmith over the past few years. At times it has been good and at other times really bad. This past Thursday was the end of it for me though. We went in around 10pm to grab a late night, cheap bagel dinner. I ordered a bagel with egg salad and my husband has a turkey club on a bagel. Firstly, it took 10+ minutes to make his turkey club, which one would have suspected would have melted cheese and be warm (ya, it wasn’t at all). Upon taking 2 – 3 bites of mine, i could tell immediately the eggs and/​or mayonnaise were bad and by bad i mean sour and disgusting. I went to bed shortly after and was blessed with some lovely food poisoning upon waking for work. gross, gross, gross.

Mediocre bagels coupled with rude, lazy service.
I really wanted to like this place but man-​alive they mess up orders like it is their job. I stopped going in person after I placed my order — waiting 15m for it, asked about it and they FORGOT TO MAKE IT. They then said it would be another 15m AND FORGOT AGAIN. Are you kidding me?
Now, that was close to a year ago and I still haven’t been back. I ordered off them via seamless a few times and it looked like they were at least OK at that. Nope — after two good deliveries of mediocre food, they take double the stated time to deliver a cold, crappy bagel sandwich. I kept calling and they kept saying 15 minutes.
I am done with this place. Their bagels aren’t even special.

The girl working the register was an absolute troll of a person and is doing this place a disservice. When a few people had came behind me, ordered, and got their food before I did, I felt it was a reasonable question to ask if what I ordered (the number 2) takes longer than other items. She just looked at me with a disturbingly blank stare, donning totally unnecessarily red lipstick and said «sometimes.» Her and a coworker were arguing about «some shit she said» and she ignored customers waiting to order, while still not providing an explanation for why I am still without sandwich after 20 minutes.
A couple people were paying for their meals and she asked what one of them got. He replied that he got the same thing his friend who just paid got. She says, «WHAT YOUUU GET?» The guy was cool but def thinking wtf and he just said he forgot but then said what was on it. She then says «YOU FORGET ALREADY YOU NEED PRACTICE YOUR REMEMBERING.» Like I hope she’s kidding but either way it’s not funny and really just unnecessary especially when I’m still waiting for my friggin sandwich off to the side.
As I’m a very patient dude and work in the service industry myself I always understand that stuff happens. The waiting wasn’t the part that made me wanna go Unilocal this. The sandwich was good. But this girl made the entire experience annoying and in the future I will likely pass by to one of the other countless places to get a good sandwich in Williamsburg.

Noticed this place while en route to an Elite event in the area and was attracted by its neon sign and its cute name. Decided to drop in on my way to the subway.
I always have more inherent affection for 24-​hour spots because they soothe my night owl soul. And I’m sure I would appreciate this place after late nights I lived in the area. But for a visit at a sane hour it wasn’t anything super noteworthy.
Prices were impressively decent though. A toasted bagel with spread, a large bottle of flavored seltzer and a chocolate croissant only set me back about 4 bucks.
Bagel wasn’t as soft and chewy as I’d have liked, but maybe that was just a 9pm thing.
Also, if the huge stack of magazines by the door was any indication, this spot is a Time Out NY pickup location which is handy. And they magically had them a day earlier than the normal Wednesday distribution date.

Not impressed. Came here sort of in a rush but it was empty so I proceeded to order my wrap. Three people came in, ordered, and got their food before me. Finally after 15 minutes I asked if it would be much longer. The cashier went towards the back and asked where my wrap was. No one knew what she was talking about and then found my order on a post it on the floor. She came up to me and said they’re making it now just a couple more minutes. Ok thanks for the lies. The wrap was ok, not great. The food gets a 3, the service a 1 and the lies don’t help either!

I have yet to understand the 3 star rating, since I’m new to the neighborhood. But so far, I’ve enjoyed their bagels. Service is fast enough during the morning rush.
And a nice surprise is they have delicious fries.

I’ve only come here once, and since i work in the area im sure ill be returning. Based on the other reviews about wait time, i guess i lucked out. The shop was busy and i ordered a CC w/​Jelly bagel — total craving made on point. Even shared some with friend who gladly swallowed it. The staff were friendly… and the guy who took my order (dark hair, ink on arms) was pretty cute. Maybe ill order him next time around lol hahaa
Also a plus — they dont have a credit card minimum which came in handy since i was low on cash!
