    Good bagels and cream cheese at affordable prices. There's usually a line when I visit but it goes by pretty fast. It's a little chaotic in there with all the people and noise and having to yell my order but that's New York for ya. Cash only but there's a Bank of America a block up and other banks around.

    Line out the door and as others have commented (thanks yelpers!) it moves pretty decently (about 15 minute wait). It's CASH ONLY so be aware. There's a refrigerator of drinks - milk, oj, water, etc. You order at one counter and pay at another. They have so many bagel and cream cheese offerings, it hard to decide. Ordered the sesame bagel with walnut and raisin cream cheese. The cream cheese was fantastic and made me feel like I was eating a dessert. The bagel is fantastic. Those on the West Coast familiar with House of Bagels, this is what it reminded me of from texture and taste. Will definitely come back. It hits the spot!

    What an experience for me!!! I'm from LA so I stopped by here as a recommendation from a local Newyorker. On a Friday late morning, the line was out the door. I waited for 10-15 minutes. Cash only. Friendly family owned place - they are so friendly and sweet. They have sooooo many variety of cream cheese including vegan cream cheese. I wish I was able to order like a dozen bagels but I was only able to get one - everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. As you can see in my picture, they will give you enough cream cheese to spread on another bagel!!!! Both me and the NY park pigeons really enjoyed it :)))) 10/10 would come back.

    Loved this place! Just recently moved to the area and decided to try this bagel spot. It's a small spot and there was a bit of a line on a Saturday afternoon but it moves pretty fast. No dine-in and they only take cash so be prepared. But the bagels were great, especially the bacon, egg and cheese. Super solid spot and will definitely be coming back.
