Bagels & Co. — Restaurant in New York

If you want to feel at home and always welcome, and enjoy fantastic food across an amazingly broad menu—then don’t delay and come over to Bagels & Co. on the Upper East Side.

The staff is friendly, helpful, efficient, and knowledgeable—from Vlad (owner), who is here, aware, involved, approachable, personable, and always troubleshooting and problem solving whenever such is ever needed,

to Julio (front and center, moving things along at the registers and getting folks their morning joe as quickly as they need it—not to mention handling catering and special orders),

to Jeremy (behind the counter taking your order) always smiling, in a good mood, remembering your name if not your preferences, to Luciano (behind the counter taking your order) a veteran of the place, steady, reliable, and getting you your meal just the way you like it,

to Danny (the pizza guy) making delicious, fresh, addictive pizza, all-day long

to the many “nameless and faceless” (behind the scenes and in the kitchen) working hard and in special ways, day-in and day-out, who make Bagles & Co. run on all cylinders, my hat is off and my hands clap in applause.

From soups to salads, from paninis to wraps, from sushi (fresh and high quality) to shakshuka, from muffins (including a variety of gluten free options) to bourekas—not to mention nearly two dozen types/kinds of the very best bagels in NYC, this place simply has everything one could want (breakfast, lunch, and even dinner) to satisfy one’s hunger or thirst (make sure to check out and try the fresh my squeezed juices and smoothies).

And, yes, of course, it is Kosher (under reliable and respectable certification—assuring the highest of standards), but even the casual observer will see folks from all over and of varying backgrounds curious and patronizing this fixture of Kosher dining on the corner of 76th and York Avenue.

Try it—you will love it—and see for yourself just how the magical confluence of food, service, people, and energy make Bagels & Co. a pleasurable and (ful)filling experience, to be repeated, again and again, whether solo, or with friends and family—you simply cannot only not go wrong, but it is one of the best...

I recently had the pleasure of discovering a kosher bagel store that has exceeded my expectations in every possible way. As a food enthusiast, I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with others.

Atmosphere: The moment you step into the store, you're greeted by a warm and inviting ambiance. The modern, well-lit interior creates a comfortable setting, perfect for a quick bite or a leisurely meal. The cleanliness is evident, and the friendly staff exudes a welcoming vibe, making you feel at ease.

Food: The bagels are truly the stars of the show! Freshly baked, perfectly chewy, and bursting with flavor, they're a testament to the art of traditional bagel-making. From classic favorites to innovative creations, the variety of options is impressive.

Highlights:

The Everything Bagel: A masterclass in balanced flavors, with a delightful combination of poppy, sesame, and garlic.

Cinnamon Raisin Bagel: Sweet and savory, this bagel is a sweet treat, especially when topped with cream cheese.

Lox and Cream Cheese: A match made in heaven! Thinly sliced, smoked salmon paired with rich cream cheese elevates the classic bagel and lox experience.

Veggie Bagel Sandwich: A delightful vegetarian option, with crispy eggplant, zucchini, and bell peppers, all held together by a flavorful hummus spread.

Service: The staff's dedication to customer satisfaction shines through. Orders are fulfilled promptly, and the team is happy to answer questions, offer recommendations, or accommodate special requests.

In conclusion, has secured a special place in my heart (and stomach!). I highly recommend this kosher bagel store to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary adventure. The outstanding food, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive service...

Phenomenal grapefruit-sized bagels, soft and doughy on the inside with a thin sweet candy-coated shell. Bagels are boiled on-premise, which has become a rarity in NYC.

I go here for the ultimate bagel experience, sometimes grab a coffee. Cannot speak to the other stuff on the menu. When I visit friends and family out of the area, I stop in here and grab a few dozen.

Delivery is a tricky thing and I base this on my experience of ordering on Seamless 10+ times a week for the last few years. Don't hate, I work long hours. Reviews with a delivery component are skewed by speed and temperature.

When Sinatra ordered up 50 pies to be flown to the West Coast from Patsy Grimaldi, he wanted that coal oven taste that you can only get in New York. He had no interest in speed or temperature. Sure, Domino's could have been there in 30-minutes or less. But, you don't need to be Old Blue Eyes to know that ain't pizza.

NYC bagels and pizza are synonymous because of our soft-water and ancestral recipes that manipulate the dough to mirror the creations of the old country.

Bagels and Co. offer authentic bagels that make people swoon as they walk the line. Personally, I haven't had any customer service issues. Though, I would welcome some gruffness from the bagel-maker, similar to the soup nazi...
