Bagel World — Restaurant in New York

I ordered a quarter pound of cream cheese only to add to an order because they had a min delivery. That is on top of the delivery fee that they charge which I had found out about only by accident. Not because they ever mentioned" hey just to let you know we charge an additional fee on deliveries"..... To add to that when the order came it was missing from the order. When I called them to tell them this after the investigation of the century they said they would redeliver. I just told them the next time I order just pls include with the order. A few days later called up to place an order reminded them and they said ok. Well......when the order was delivered it again was missing the cream cheese. I called up to tell them and the girl on the phone not only didn't believe me, but in not so many words said I was making it up with her NO NO NO NO your not going to do that?! They were not going to deliver it and not only one thing. Seriously!!! Like I'm going to make this up? I have 10 thousand better things to do with my time and really way better things that could be made up. Well, its safe to say I will never order again because I paid for something that I never received and quite frankly don't need to told in not so many words that I'm lying about $3 or $4 worth of cream cheese. I was ordering for the office here about $30 or so every other day...so really they lost a good customer. Cream cheese can be bought for way less in so many other bagel places...

Bagel world is close. That seems to be the largest selling point for the locals, who may not get the best version of their morning meals or even get melted cheese on their sandwiches. Wait staff is trying their best, and people in these reviews need to have some more patience and empathy for the folks working behind the counter. But it’s obvious the shop is trying to have quantity over quality in their menu. The drinks? Fabulous, and the major selling point here at a decent price. The food? Hypnotically disappointing. I seem to return to once a week to try something with the knowledge its pesto is lackluster and their portions of cream cheese spreads are so large they over power any semblance of the bread it’s spread on. If you moved here from Minnesota you’re gonna love the place and the Instagram ready rainbow bagel— if you’re a...

Just got a couple of bagels from here - grew up walking by their location on court but never really patronized it as there were many closer to the house I grew up in.

I am surprised by the poor quality of the bagels! This place has been around for so long and has a reasonably loyal customer base (just based on the lines that often form in the mornings) that I expected a decent bagel.

Instead, I have a dense, cushioned loaf of bread shaped into a bagel. No crisp exterior, no air pockets, no incredible bagel flavor to redeem the experience. Just a muffin-like texture, which is not a great combo with scallion cream cheese and lox.

Will definitely give this place another try, hoping that it’s a bad day for them, but for now: two stars and a warning for anyone looking for a superb experience to approach...
