What our customers are saying!

Heard the gluten free bagels were the best in Manhattan...was NOT disappointed! Super friendly and accommodating.

Extra care spent preparing GF items. DELICIOUS! We’ll certainly be back!! ~ Rene

Best bagel I've ever had and service to match. This is now my regular stop for breakfast, brunch,

and just because I want a bad ass bagel. ~ Shane

This place is absolutely legit with the quality of their homemade bagels and their wide array of spreads, toppings and creative sandwiches! An absolute must go to when you're in the East Village! ~ Ryan

Amazing bagels! They do a delicious vegan sun-dried tomato tofu spread; and the cookie dough cream cheese

(not vegan) on French toast bagel is one of the best foods ever! ~ Debbie

Mac and cheese on a bagel? Birthday cake cream cheese? This place is WELL worth the long lines. The staff will do everything they can to make your order perfect and your experience great. Highly, highly recommend this place.

Other establishments in NYC could learn a lesson from them when it comes to quality and service! ~ Lindsay

Superb bagels – too damn many choices! Great service. Great atmosphere. A perfect place to spend an hour or so!

~ Kristie

Great people! We were from out of state and the owner made us feel right at home! We are a gluten free family due to allergies, and they had options for us too! Want to go back! ~ Leslie

I'm a sucker for a good bagel and Tompkins square bagels definitely did not disappoint! They hand roll their bagels

and make their own cream cheese. Everything is fresh, delicious and there are so many choices! ~ Samantha

I love this place because of the wide variety of bagels and spreads that are always fresh! Ive tried a bunch of different combinations, both sweet and savory, and you just can't go wrong. ~ Paalika

Don't let the line out the door scare you away – the wait is worth it! My go-to order is a classic bacon egg and cheese with scallion cream cheese to mix things up on an everything bagel, but you can't go wrong with anything here.

I don't let friends come to town without taking them here and you shouldn't miss out either! ~ Rene
