NY Bagel Cafe & Grill opened up nearly directly behind my house. It is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. They have breakfast, lunch, and 'all-day' items. My first test with them was a bagel sandwich and a 6 piece of soy garlic wings.
I'll start with the wings. So juicy and tasty. I somehow got 6 drumsticks - no worries, they didn't last long!
The bagel sandwich was solid as well. The everything bagel had enough seasoning on it to add to the profile of egg salad and avocado. Portion was fair as well. It alone would have been fine to address my breakfast needs.

I would give a 4 star but it’s just too overpriced for average food, I appreciate all of the options available though! I got a Blueberry bagel with Strawberry cream cheese and the whole thing was very salty? Which was confusing because I was looking for a sweet breakfast. My partner got a breakfast sandwich and it was good, but $15 is a little much for a BEC. The staff are all really sweet though, and I appreciate their kindness. I want to give this place another try, and I’m sure I’ll be back to try...
