This was the worst food ever old and they rob me for a can coke 4.25 and wanted to blame the war. They turkey sandwich on a bagel 35.00 . Turkey was faux and macroni salad was old mayo turned to grease.
Just discovered their Soho shop and the bagels are fresh, tasty, and original. I was pretty happy with the outcome and the outdoor sitting area is really nice too.Ok, I originally gave 5 stars, but was a little disappointed after waiting over 15 minutes for my bagel order when there was no crowd. I was told it just takes a while to make the bagels, but when I eventually got them, the bagel was cold and I think they were embarrassed to admit that they forgot about preparing the bagel after toasting it 10 minutes earlier.
Great bagel sandwiches with sidewalk seating on a not too busy street. It was easy for me to walk up and be served on a Sunday afternoon without a wait. A little expensive for a counter service bagel shop, but the staff are friendly and the food was ready quickly. I will be back.
AVOID!!!! Placed two “Christmas brunch” orders through goldbelly and as you can see what I ordered vs what was received was vastly different. I also called to have one of the cream cheeses in each order changed to scallion, manager didn’t get on the phone and just said I had to go through goldbelly. They were giggling in the background and clearly on break or not very busy. Not sure why a simple switch couldn’t be made since it didn’t effect the price. Awful customer service and no way to run a business. I expect to get what I PAID for. Would never use them again and will stick with Ess-a-bagels. Always fresh and delicious and never gets my order wrong. Had I not received these photos, I never would have even known.
Glad we made this our bagel stop during our recent trip! Great bagels. The kids LOVED the Tie-Dye, the colors were crazy! Looking forward to shipping some out to us soon!
Got a rainbow bagel with blueberry cream cheese! Bagel taste good and chewy. Note that the rainbow bagel has no taste, just looks
This bagel place has the perfect bagel... seasoned just right the ideal soft chewiness inside...sooo goood! The cream cheese was very light and creamy, a very decadent style cream cheese! Coffee is just plain Jane which is fine, but I do like a few varieties. I do wish this place had egg bagels I am looking everywhere for the best egg bagel and egg everything bagel they sadly did not have that or blueberry or strawberry bagels...the ones they did have were killer!
Such great bagels!! The place can be a bit hectic in the mornings but it is worth the wait. So cute on the inside and nice staff too
Been here a few times. The food is good, but each time Ive been there its taken about 20-25 to make a BEC around 11am. For a Bacon Egg and Cheese with coffee, it costs $17, for what its worth.
Classic New York deli brunch spot, it’s casual enough to come in your sweats if you want, no judgement here, for some great bagels and some eggs and lox.Ironic 80s and 90s music was blasting on loop when I was here and the small tables and booths felt like a throwback.Staff was super friendly and helpful, A+ on service! Only one of two bagels came toasted even though we asked for both, but food came within 10 minutes us ordering and fruit salad and avocado on plates were fresh.Salmon lox was delicious, perfectly cured and sliced. Lots of bagel flavor options but they are well known for their pumpernickel which was perfectly doughy.
Artisanal, thats what describes the bagels at Baz. These bagels are rolled, baked, sliced and sold by a person, and it shows in all its artistic beauty. As with anything thats artistic and handmade, there is some waiting involved and thats to be expected, Welcome to NY! If you want fast and cheap, I suggest you find yourself a hotdog stand, but with anything thats worth it in NYC theres always a line. PS get yourself The Mel, The Mooch or an Everything Chicken Schnitzel and go about your day.
Overpriced bagels to be honest. Got the Baz bagel (salmon) and got a slice and a half. Paid $20. Lots of options around this area.
Delicious bagels, actually really enjoyed the iced coffee and they have alternative milks (I got almond milk). They have tofu cream cheese which is delicious and they offer gluten-free bagels as well. I ordered the everything bagel with tofu cream cheese and eggs. Loved every bite!
The bagels are good. The service at the counter is good as well. The only downside is I got a text saying my order was ready but when I arrived they were still packing it for 10mins. (Mid-size order)
This Bagel Restaurant located in the heart of Little Italy was a surprise. Very nice location, clean premises, friendly and organized staff. Specialized in bagels, for all tastes with vegan and gluten-free options. I recommend the one with salmon. You have the possibility to choose directly from the window the creams you want to add and ... Done your beautiful Bagel is ready. Of course you can also enjoy various salads, accompanying everything with homemade fresh Te’, extracts and juices. Enjoy your meal
Delicious bagels with lots of vegan cream cheese options. Their rainbow swirl bagel is especially cool-looking.
The bagels are a little pricy but they are definitely worth it. I had the pink rainbow which was full of cheese and salmon and the taste was incredible. You have quite a few options, you just can’t get wrong with this place!
They didnt have gluten free bagels in stock, which is the reason we planned to go there the morning we did. Disappointing but understandable that it might be out of their control.
The bagel tasted pretty good and the Lox was AMAZING! However, not much outdoor seating and definitely no shade in the hot sun.
Really cool decor with tasty bagels. We were seated by the bar and shortly we were poured a coffee and recommended some bagels. I had the Baz with smoked salmon and cream cheese - so much food! You can pick one of their menu combinations or make up your own bagel. There is about 7 different types of bagels, including rainbow. The decor is what I expected an American diner to be like.
Great bagels in a cherry environment! I had the nova salmon and added some veggies on a bagel. The bagel was exactly what I wanted with a slight crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. Would recommend over other shops. The staff are friendly. Seating is available here.
Tried the gluten free / vegan bagel and honestly.. it tastes very gluten free. Wouldn’t compare it to a bagel. But the tofu cream cheese is the best I’ve had, and I appreciate having a GF bagel option on the menu!
Walked in , they take to go order at the door, stay and eat means going a little further in and talking to the host. I ordered a pizza bagel and was surprised by the 12 dollar price tag. Now it has something to live up to. Waited a little while, music was like the oldie but goodie kind and the counter guy was nice. The to go bag was nice , white and big (logo). Ate the pizza on the Q train, was AMAZING. Sauce was good, cheese fantastic and the bagel had like a crunch to it. I think it was garlic. Overall , 9/10. You owe it to yourself to try it once. #Scott’s pizza tours from YouTube. The one who goes around bothering Mark Iacono. 😁
A superb experience in New York. The food was very delicious, the service was very satisfying and friendly. The music is right, the design and everything was great. Oh and the coffee was more than great. Loved the place
Service was fast, and the bagel was delicious. I didnt sit down, so I cant speak to table service, but the staff were friendly. I appreciate that they are Eco friendly. The only slight negative that I have was that it was a bit more pricey than I was expecting (about $1 more for a bagel and cream cheese, so not a huge difference).I will definitely be going back.
Food was super good and fresh, I had the Baz breakfast but added extra eggs into it, and it was amazing, coffee is ok, and the staff was very friendly, the menu is misleading though because it said breakfast comes with a fruit, etc.. but look at the pic to see what they mean!! I paid $20 for a single bagel and coffee!
At first I was a little skeptical as the Baz Bagel was $14! But I was so full by the end, it was a hearty bagel with plenty of goods on it. Salmon, onion, cream cheese on a delicious toasted bagel. I loved every bite. Didn’t get a chance to try their coffee, but maybe next time. I would love to try their other offerings too, they have a ton.
Baz is a gem! Found this amazing place on a wet May17, 2017.I fad a plain toasted bagel and cup of coffee... All was great. A 5 star rating is the verdict... Plus clean restrooms, always a plus!
Best bagel Ive had in my life, hands down. I was blessed to have a friend who used to work here recommend this place when I went to NYC for the first time and it is now the golden standard to how a bagel should look and taste. Small little place, but packed with a great crew and delicious food. Cant wait to go back!
Got “The baz”. Great quality smoked salmon and scallion cream cheese! The everything bagel was fresh!
The bagels themselves were fine but they didn’t toast my bagel and for $11.50 up charge on lox I barely got any at all. So tired of getting up charged for toppings and then getting barely any. Will not be ordering from here again
Way overpriced. Waited nearly half an hour on the sidewalk for a simple order. And the food wasnt good either. Spent 25 dollars for a bagel breakfast sandwich, coffee, and plain bagel. Ordered two plain bagels and they gave me one and insisted I didnt pay for the other. The one they gave me was cold, uncut and not toasted. Sandwich wasnt good either. Would not recommend, much better bagel options in the city, or even McDonalds.
This is one of the best bagels in NY. The bagels are fresh and cooked perfectly. The everything bagel has just the right amount of seasonings. The vegetable cream cheese you can tell is homemade. It wasnt too busy when we went around 1130am. I think the bagel with cream cheese is around $6, which is great for the high quality of the bagel.
Amazing bagels - best bagel shop in Little Italy. Highly recommend the Baz bagel sandwich.
Pretty good spot but I got a large black coffee and a banana and it was $7. SEVEN DOLLARS!! Absolutely insane. Hope they can make rent.
My company ordered rainbow bagels and Baz Bagels promised to deliver them, but they then said, if we want them, we have to pick them up, when we paid to have them delivered. Super disappointed in this company.
Incredible gluten free, celiac safe bagels with toppings. The Baz with a gluten free bagel was absolutely delicious. The price is a bit high, but for a rare gf bagel like this, worth it.
A good bagel place in NYC, has a wide selection of interesting bagels but the presentation exceeds the taste. Seems to be always packed like any place in the city, worth the try though.
Fast service and the bagels were perfect! If I lived here Id come here every day. They have lots of options on the menu.
Good bagels, cream cheese varieties. Good service. Good coffee as well. Wish they had better seating
Lovely customer service, such a sweet gal! The kids loved their rainbow donuts! Super fun NYC experience!
Ive been going to Baz for years - since I moved to NYC. They used to be a convenient spot to grab a bagel (~4 years ago), now theyve become a pit stop for the influencer crowd. The quality of the food has remained consistent (that is to say, good bagels), but the overall experience has deteriorated. Couple that with the fact that they cant get their delivery sh** together and youve got a recipe for a slow demise.
One of the best. Great bagels and incredible sandwiches. You can also go for potato latkes and pizza bagels.
Please go and eat here. Cozy spot so make a reservation. Staff was very friendly. You will not be disappointed. They also have a to go counter if you feel like grabbing a bagel and coffee and walking about. 10/10 would recommend
Food was pretty good and decently priced. This is one of those breakfast places that gets overlooked compared to some of the more famous ones, but it is still really good. Their bagels and cream cheese are really great as wellDefinitely recommend it,
Good bagel but overrated and overpriced in my opinion! the portion was large but not enough to justify the price
Cute diner experience. Pretty delicious bagel, filled us up all day! Coffee isn’t free so turn it down if you don’t want it or prefer another type of coffee, we didn’t realise. Not very spacious fyi but still a nice little spot.
Bagels are good, coffee is strong and delicious. Staff is friendly. Visited 2 times during my trip. Totally busy at Saturday morning.
Recommended by our hotel. Visited for breakfast and this place ticked all the boxes, great choice of food (all day breakfast option was fantastic), great quality of food, friendly staff who were always happy to help, and the music playing was worth the trip alone. Bowie and Cher back to back was certainly a first to my ears, but a welcome one!
Best Breakfast bagel 🥯You must try the egg, bacon, corn beef cheesy one!
We used to like Baz, but todays visit was disappointing. The bagels were too hard, there sure wasnt a ton of salmon (which was bland anyway), they tried to push moldy strawberries on us, and they seemed to be overwhelmed.
Incredible bagels ! Small and crowded but worth the wait. Get a breakfast sandwich on a bagel!
Stingy pathetic quantity of food. Wow, I have never been to a bagel place that cheaps out as much as Baz does. The picture shows a whole wheat bagel with Lox and onion (very sloppily made). There were literally one or two strands of onion at most and the flimsiest single, thinnest slice of lox. Didnt realize how little it was or I would have never paid for such a petty amount. They got me. Feels bad man.Never going back, I suggest you find a place that will give you at least half your moneys worth. Shame!
Baz bagel is heavenly! That crunchy outside bagel with soft, chewy inside. There is a line out the door , especially on the weekends, but it moves fast. They have a great selection of bagels, cream cheeses, smoothies, and all at a great price for the size and quality. Their coffee and service is also amazing ! We will definitely be frequent customers here.
With the rent skyrocketing all over the city and currently 2021 New York is the most expensive place to live its a miracle. That this place continues to thrive, sure you could go to a Place more renown. But this is what makes events experiences your time and your effort as Adventure, look whats around you the place has changed considerably if you look five years ago this place did not even exist so my hats off to these owners, they have the fortitude to stick around I do not know how long. So as long as theyre there please enjoy the greatness, that many of these pop and Mom restaurants are often declining because if it was up to the politicians. They would not exist all you will have in that area will be high skyscrapers where its impossible unless you belong to a co-op or you live in the building to get even a bagel let alone a meal
Decent selection of bagels and other breakfast foods.
My favorite bagel in NYC so far!!! They also have great gluten free and dairy free options. I got their rainbow bagel with lox and chives and it was one of the best bagels I’ve had! My friend got a breakfast sandwich and it was fabulous too, so you can’t go wrong!
Bagel was decent but crazy expensive and they are a little cheap with the cream cheese
A little pricey, but solid and great customer service! Lots of fresh bagels, fish, and smear to choose from with some very interesting house options.
The only picture I have from the bagel. It was VERY good, specially the lox… I’m craving it again. Bye.
I was in town for 24 hours for work and googled bagel shops in my area before I had to catch an Uber to the airport. Little did I know, it would route me to the best bagel I’ve ever had in my life, THE BAZ BAGEL. I’ve always loved a bagel & lox but this was NEXT LEVEL. With the chive cream cheese and pumpernickel everything bagel, oh my goodness, It was unreal. I especially loved how thinly sliced the lox was. I will definitely be coming back here next time I’m in NY.
Great bagel sandwiches & good coffee. The pancakes were good, but I wish they’d been “normal” size—I thought they were small. All in all, delicious.
Good bagel, but the order was wrong (didnt realise at the time) and it was totally overpriced. No pricing displayed so no transparency
Beautifully seasoned, crisp yet chewy bagels and the scallion cream cheese is fantastic. Fresh OJ and good coffee. What more do you want.
Adorable little bagel place in little Italy. Bagels are fresh, but a little pricey for what you get. The staff wears cute white deli jackets and nothing is finer than dining under a large pic of Barbara Streisand!
Asked for a toasted bagel ... 25 minutes later, got a cold, stale bagel, not toasted. My sons bagel sandwiches were clearly made on stale, cold bagels as well. They dont even have espresso drinks. And they are pricey. The crowd waiting for their orders here clearly doesnt know any other bagel place, like Black Seed Bagels, heck even Dunkin Donuts, is far superior in every way.
Great small restaurant in Little Italy. Absolutely fantastic breakfast. Try garlic bagel! Luxury!! :)
Bagels are delicious. Team are friendly. Cherry soda was wonderful.
Perfect menu & nice people
Amazing place. Very popular.Bagels to die for !
My favorite place! Absolutely delicious bagels (and other breakfast delights) for really fair prices. Super friendly and positive service!
My go to bagel place in NYC, get the latke corned beef hash or live with eternal regret
Seriously...some of the best bagels in the city. Fantastic smoked fish too!
All the yum without the crazy lines and prices at Russ & Daughters cafe. Great food and service. They play an awesome Motown track in the background.
As legit as NYC bagels get. Pro tip: order ahead for pickup to avoid long lines as pictured.
Texas Visitor, The BEST bagel Ive ever had, definitely flavorful and filling. Would definitely recommend and repeat food coma. Also enjoyed the limeade (Lime Rikey), most popular entres: Mooch or the Bunnys.
Great bagels, friendly service! Try their pumpernickel bagel! Rainbow bagels are so cute.
Not very friendly. You can’t read the menu or see prices due to the window that you have to order through, so there’s definite sticker shock when your order is totaled.Wanted chive cream cheese, but they didn’t have it, Again can’t see the menu board.Bagels are so-so. There are more tasty bagels in nyc than this place.
Delicious bagels and friendly service. They have tons of vegan cream cheese flavors!!
Took 15 mins for a bagel, not toasted with cc at 11am. The bagel was okay but there was little cc.
Bought these on Goldbelly with a giftcard and it was 15 bagels for $75. I guess I am just surprised because I would rather a Dunkin Donuts bagel. These are completely flavorless and dont have any crunch which is just strange.
Like a lot of places that used to be really good, the attention to consistency and quality control has sagged of late. Things are just not prepared with the care they once were. Seems like they’re suffering due to the slowdown…understandable, but not worth $25. Sorry, Baz. It was good while it lasted, but maybe it’s time to take a good hard look at yourself and regroup.
Hey guys! There is no chance to reach you out via the phone. We made an order from doorDash and got only half of the order (were charged for two items and got only one). You don’t pick up the phone and does not reply to the voicemail.UPDATE - I сalled the restaurant back next day and someone finally picked up the phone. The manager Ive talked to was extremely nice. She offered the refund or delivery of the missing item. I got it in an hour after the conversation was over.
I absolutely love stopping by this place for breakfast! The meals are aleays great, their service is superb, and these bagels are some of the best!!
Nice busy place, traditional booth type couches and good service. Food was nice.
I live a few blocks away and come here often for a deli food fix. Best bagels you can get in the area, and the cream cheeses & cold salads are delicious. If you love egg or chicken salad, this place has some of the best Ive ever tried (and very reasonably priced by the pound).Coffee is strong and tasty. They have oatmilk for those who want non dairy options in their coffee.Once indoor dining opens again (praying!!), be aware it does get very crowded so expect a wait. Once inside, the decor is so quaint and retro that youll be glad you did.
Honestly if I could give this place 0 stars I would. I came here, yes unfortunately it was on a busy morning, but I came here around 10:20 to place an order for BEC. I don’t think the order was that complicated.But y’know apparently it was. We were told to wait outside for our order and our name would be called. My boyfriend was curious about what the name on the order was since we weren’t asked for a name. He probably asked around 10:25. We waited until 10:40 to go ask again about our order since so many other people who ordered AFTER us got their food.When we wanted to know what was going on with our order, the woman behind the counter gave an attitude and said “don’t you see all the people in the back working really hard?” There was no valid reason given as to why our bagel wasn’t ready in 20 minutes. The guy who looked like the manager honestly looked like he didn’t wanna get involved and when I asked for a refund, she didn’t even refund the tip I gave her. I can’t believe I was raving about this spot to my boyfriend who loves bagels and my first experience in this shop was the worst. Never again.
Very tasty food. Service was friendly and fast.
I ordered the Valentines bagels to be shipped through Goldbelly. The order was delayed one day than when it was supposed to be delivered. The one day cost me a week because a huge winter storm happened right after so it sat at a FedEx facility in my city for a week before they finally delivered.I wont put that on Baz bagels, however when I finally received the bagels they were terrible. To me the appearance already had be worried because they were awfully flat for bagels. They tasted like salty dough. Cannot eat them and will have to throw away a dozen bagels. $100 down the drain. I also ordered black and white cookies along with it. They were delicious but not packaged well. They were packaged in baggies and ended up underneath the bagels in the box, so the bagels crushed them and they were mostly crumbles by the time I go them. These are delicate cookies, pack them in a separate box not baggies. If youre not in a neighboring state, I would not order from here.
Excellent menu for bagels and cream cheeses! Must go!
A local bagel shop had a ridiculous wait and I’m glad it did because we ended up finding Baz Bagel. The bagels are delicious and arrived still warm to our apartment. Will now be ordering from here for now on. Def give this a try! Good food and reasonably priced.
Fantastic bagels and lox. Fast, friendly service and a quintessential New York breakfast experience.
Bagels were delicious and creatively done. Service was good.
Bagels and fillings were excellent. The bagels themselves were priced extremely reasonably. The fillings were a little pricey but not unreasonable. Service was quick and friendly, too.Loved the ambiance. It was fun to have a diner feel but also one that served better fare than your average greasy spoon.I will say the latkes left much to be desired. They were too dense and not crispy and didnt have all that much crunch.That said, I will definitely return for the bagel game.
If I could put 0 stars I would. I ordered a Mother’s Day Brunch from Goldbelly from Baz that included 12 bagels, half a pound of white fish, one lb of nova, and 3 different cream cheeses.There was no perishable sticker on the box it was unknown to the FedEx delivery to ring the doorbell upon delivery as this cannot sit out in the FL heat. Secondly, they included 4 baby ice packs which were all completely defrosted and the oil in the white fish completely separated and my cream cheeses went bad. Next, they only included 2 2oz pack of nova when I paid for a pound. Lastly, when I called to complain yesterday, they wanted to resend the bagels to me but on May 13th.... what’s the point of a Mother’s Day brunch being delivered 4 days after? Also, they would not issue a refund to me for their mistake, only a credit to Goldbelly. Why would I want to order from Goldbelly again? After threatening to dispute the charge with the credit card company, they are only refunding me $60 out of the $94 I paid for the missing nova and the damaged white fish and cream cheese. They claim the bagels are fine since they were not in my initial complaint. I will be disputing the charge for the full amount and will never be ordering from this place again. This is because Baz poorly packaged my order
So glad I found this spot for breakfast. Friendly staff and great food. Pumpernickel Everything bagel is the best.
They make a really good bagel. Not cheap. Personally prefer Bergen Bagels. But def one of my fav bagel places in Manhattan
Ehh this place is fine. I’m not sure the food justifies the prices.
Ive given this place multiple chances, only to be disappointed every time. Expect an UNREASONABLY long wait time for them to make something as simple as a bagel (~35 minutes this morning). They also tend to get the order wrong. The bagels are not very fresh either. It seems like some of the non traditional bagels look good, but make sure youre willing to carve out ~1 hour of your time if youd like to go.
Great bagels. When you order to go they take great care in packaging your food, including hot beverages so they stay hot. Recommend Salomon Duet and Pretty in Pink.
Anytime I come to NYC for work, I have to stop here. Its across the street from our office (convenient) but also they serve gluten free bagels, and as a Celiac, Im thrilled to eat a bagel outside of my home. Its a bit pricey, especially since the gluten free bagels are quite small, but they are always generous with toppings. The options are so varied and delicious. I recommend this spot if youre already in the area, but as far as bagel shops go, there are plenty options wherever you are in the city.
The perfect cinnamon raisin or rainbow bagel for a gloomy day or any other day for that matter 🥯💕🌈🥯💕🌈
Ok, you need reservations even for breakfast but is it worth it!Cozy, fun, alive, great food in a super environment. Good coffee, fresh bagels, Nova that is top quality, great service. Our hostess was Rita, pleasant, efficient a true believer and had great recommendations.Well worth the wait, we didn’t have a reservation and waited 25 min, definitely worth it.AND the egg creams are original, fresh and crazy good.Enjoy
Every neighborhood wants a breakfast spot like this. Good coffee, fresh bagels, mimosas, and the best music selection in any restaurant anywhere. Go in for the music, stay for the latkes. Its a family recipe and they are HEAVEN! Good food, fun vibes, a destination for the whole family! (of less than 6 or 7, remember this is little Italy and this place is tight. If you have a large party, call ahead.)
Great atmosphere but the service at the pick counter, while pleasant, was clearly in over his head. Also the bagels didn’t taste very fresh. If your a New York Bagel place fresh bagels are pretty important.
Everyone in my hood loves baz bagel (at least my friends and colleagues), but I know there are some who didn’t try theirs out yet. Don’t hesitate to get one. You never regret.
We had bagels here twice on our NYC trip. They were fresh and tasty.There is a decent amount of seating if you want to eat there with bagel sandwich choices as well as plenty of smear choices, including tofu based for the vegans.Bright and cheery.
I’m sorry, but a breakfast of two scrambled eggs, half of avocado and one piece of potato cutlet it’s just not worth it.And the service was not welcoming as well.
Stopped in while at the office for an early take-out lunch after reading the reviews and deciding that the 10 minute walk from city hall area was worth it. Immediately noticed how many bagels were present, some lunch shops seem to run out at the lunch rush but Baz definitely had a bunch. I went with a cinnamon raisin bagel and their regular cream cheese. By the time I got back to the office, the bagel was still deliciously fresh, slightly crunchy outside and soft in the middle. The ratio of cream cheese was excellent and had a good flavor. Only reason for 4 stars is that the price was a little more than I wouldve liked to pay, but should be expected in this area.
Good service and convenient location. Bagels are good. Very fun atmosphere, especially for families and kids.Food is not cheap (think $14/bagel) and there isn’t much space.Still this is a cool spot and the food is solid. There are a lot of offerings in the traditional deli style, all of which are well done.Their catering is very good as well so it’s a good option for at an-hole brunch party.
Amazing place! Atmosphere is so American and I loved it. Bagels are super good, and breakfast in general is just top (example: avocado + salmon + bagel 👌) Prices are honest, stuff gentle and careful. Music is nice as well, I really cant find something wrong in this place. Recommended!
Great bagels. Great service. Everything I wanted for breakfast
My favorite bagel place!! The cream cheeses and lox are all so fresh, unique, and tasty. The lox with the pomegranate is actually incredible. Such a good breakfast before work. Just wish you guys made your own gluten free bagels bc those come out of a bag. Otherwise, the flagels are good too and a perfect option for people who want something a little crunchier/not as heavy!
One of the best bagel spots in ny!
Food was pretty good, but my latkes came with a super tiny Dixie cup of Apple sauce, barely enough for one Latke, and the order comes with three. So unless you don’t like Apple sauce or you’re planning on eating at home where you have more Apple sauce, I wouldn’t recommend ordering this dish. The pumpernickel everything bagel was a bit over-salted I think as well.Other than that, the order was good.Order:- Pumpernickel everything bagel w/ Nova, veggie cream cheese, tomato, onions and capers.- Green smoothie- Potato latkes
Very tasty lox and onion scramble. Great bagels. Staff very friendly.
Really yummy bagel!
Truly enjoyed breakfast here and will come again! I had latkes with poached eggs and nova, and I particularly enjoyed adding a sprinkle of “everything “ for some crunch and zest. The service was excellent and the place is clean and stylish in its own quirky way. Love this spot!
Solid bagel joint. Great decorations and music selection. Good throwback, low key diner feel.
Garlic and onion bagel was awesome. Fun food and nice staff.
We ate our last breakfast here in our yearly NYC trip and it was delicious. The menu is varied without being too much, the bagels are tasty, but where this place really stands out is the staff. All the wait staff we interacted with were friendly and wanted to chat with us.
Bagels are large, lox were tasty, the everything bagel was a tad on the hard side, but very flavorful. We dined in and it took about 25 minutes for our bagels to be served after we ordered so expect to spend a good chunk of time here.
I wanted to love this place. The customer service was amazing and the ingredients were incrediblely fresh. However I ordered lox bagel and the amount they gave was insultingly small. There are other bagel places that give a sufficient amount of lox like Tals bagels and Pick A Bagel. Mind you these bagels are not cheap. More salmon please.
This place looks warm and inviting. The decor and inviting nature does not constitute good food. The bagel was dry and stale and not remotely close to a fluffy New York bagel with a crunchy exterior and soft interior. The bagel was way over buttered and ruined. The only bright note was the fresh orange juice. Would probably not recommend to a friend.
My experience at baz bagels was so good I even bought a shirt! 😂 everything pictured was so good and service was good as well. Definitely my favorite bagel shop in nyc when I visit.
Good bagels and excellent selection.NYC has hit me with limited selection in the restaurants and bakeries I have been. So I read it specialty is the way to go. In any case this is a specialty but all about bagels and fixingsThere is a about a dozen or so flavor choice on bagels that are better than you get in conventional bagel shops. There is a ton of cream cheese options too. Look at the photos and cured fishes. Mm... yum.You can opt to either take out to go or sit in the cozy dining room for some hot coffee and a yummy bagel on a cold day.Happy eating
This is a very good bagel, if only a bit pricey.The whole wheat everything was especially great, and they have a good selection of cream chesses and some other things. The bread itself was very good. But the price jump from about a dollar for a plain bagel to over five for cream cheese is brutal. What sort of cream cheese is this? Next time I´m gonna buy a plain one, and bring it home.
Cute bagel shop. Their gluten free bagels are the best Ive ever had.Only hang up was that when we ordered tea, the water wasnt hot enough to steep it. When we pointes it out, they tried to get us hotter water but it was still too cool. We were then charged for two teas that we were unable to enjoy.
In covid world walk up window was safe and efficient. Outdoor seating set mood for people watching on a sunny sun morning and the bagels were outstanding toppings on everything and sesame bagels were plentiful and lox shmear onion cucumber were fresh and overflowing stuffing thoroughly enjoyed with a yummy smoothie quintessential NYC not to be missed
Russ & Daughters had a 2 hour wait so we found Baz and it was fabulous. Excellent fast service, huge menu, large portions, and the kippered salmon, gravlax and scottish salmon was top quality. This will be my new breakfast spot downtown!
Bagels taste delicious. Menu is very diverse. You can even have your sandwiches are even custom make your sandwiches. Depending on the person who takes your order you may need to explain it properly or else theyll mess bbn it up. But overall the food is great.
Really good bagel and cookie for my breskfast. Friendly and funny people here.
Pros/cons:Bagel was ok in a pinch. A little too denseCream cheese was decent. Not many flavorsExpensive $$$$ at $4.90 for a bagel and schmearPlus would have been an extra $2 to do half another flavor (never heard of such a charge before)Also bagel was kind of small.Overall very meh.
Excellent bagels...not a ton of Smear...7 bucks tho for a bagel with cream cheese...can find ones as good or better for a lot less...but convenient.
Amazing gluten free bagels! And vegan too! A lot of dairy free options as well. I was going to give a 4star because of its obviously not a gf establishment BUT it’s that good and so worth it to visit.
Not only was the food delicious, but their ability to deal with a gluten allergy was impressive. My mom is incredibly sensitive. They clearly took care to thoroughly clean every surface that touched her food (lox and eggs over latkes). She didnt react at all. I will bring more friends and family here when they come visit!
Super friendly staff, good prices and nice space (unlike most bagel shops in NYC, which typically are smelly, greasy and uncomfortable) earn Baz 3 stars for me.That said.We had the everything flagel with chive cc and salmon roe, and the onion garlic bagel with cc and Sable. The ingredients and topings were good. But the bagels themselves were quite tasteless, despite onion et all. My wife even added salt, which we’ve never done on bagels.Back to the smelly, greasy, uncomfortable typical bagel shops I guess.
Disappointing. Paid $10 for egg sandwich bagel that I ordered at the window, waited a few minutes and it came out cold. Barely any cheese and was falling apart. Way too expensive for not a good sandwich.
Cream cheese choices are amazing and the staff is super friendly. Waitress kept reassuring my Corn beef hash choice was the best and SHE WASNT WRONG. Ill be back.
Excellent bagels, outdoor seating works for singles or pairs. That said I know theres a ton of really good bagels in NYC and I am not an expert...
Excellent food, bagel with smoked salmon 💯. Needed capers, little surprised they were not included. Also, had to ask for coffee refill which is a pet peeve of mine. Otherwise quaint little place with delicious bagels.
Great breakfast place with decent prices
Great authentic bagels. Clean outdoor seating but a bit sunny during these hot days. Hard working staff. Fresh lox to go with tasty bagels.
SCAM: Automatic 20% tip charged on all to-go credit card orders. Watch out! This place has set up their card reader to automatically charge you a 20% tip when you pay for a to-go order with a credit card. The way the receipt prints out, you dont even see a final total that includes the tip, just your purchase total after tax and then another number below it for the tip. They even highlight the pre-tip total so you will think that is all you were charged (see the attached photo of my emailed receipt from them). If youre not paying attention, you can easily miss it, especially since every other restaurant allows you to opt IN to tipping, rather than forcing you to opt OUT. The people working there know what they are doing is shady, too. They refunded the tip when I noticed and brought it up, but how many people have they managed to trick with this tactic? It left a really bad taste in my mouth and I will never go there again because of it. The bagel and lox I had were fine, but there are plenty of great bagel places in New York that dont engage in this sort of scummy behavior. STAY AWAY!
Incredible bagels, as a born and bred New Yorker, this has to be some of the best bagels in the city. They can get expensive, but they dont skimp out on quality ingredients. A bit of a wait as well, so keep that in mind especially on the weekends.
Really good bagels and I love their options (especially everything pumpernickel). If you eat there in their very cute 50’s diner feel sit-down area, there are even better options. Get a latke! They’re sooo good 😀 I give it a four though because several times, I’ve gotten back to my apt with the bagels I ordered and they were incorrect; that’s always a disappointment but it’s otherwise great.
They serve gluten free bagels, in both plain and everything flavours. Their texture is a little dense, and they are a bit small, even for a bagel, but the taste is spot-on! Cream cheese and lox were marvelous as well: slightly fishy and bringing back great memories of a salty ocean. Docking a star for the price, because I paid over $11 for it...
Good food and service. Nice bagel menu that can be made gluten free. Th GF bagels are small and the texture is a bit tough but overall had a good taste.
This should be read with a significant caveat since I visited within the first 3 hours of its first day serving. For that reason I didnt even factor things like slow service and some trouble with their POS devices into my rating.However, in addition, I found my bagel sub-par.I ordered an everything bagel with the Nova and chive cream cheese to go. This ran me $5.44 after tax. The bagel itself was not good. The texture was very hard and seemed almost stale. The bottom side of the bagel especially was a very hard, rocky crust without much flavor. This was hard enough to scratch the roof of my mouth and make it hard to bite with my teeth. I think optimally a bagel should have a crisp skin and fluffy, chewy inside. This was hard throughout. The cream cheese was good. Well-flecked with lox and not pink goop like you might find elsewhere. The everything toppings on the bagel were a good blend of salty and flavorful at least. Hopefully this was an early miss for them and their baking will improve in freshness. Im willing to give them another shot.
I love a bagel with lox and cream cheese and this place does it perfectly! Wonderful atmosphere, incredibly pleasant and helpful waitstaff. I really enjoyed my experience here. My husband and I plan to start each of our vacation days here!
Ridiculously expensive. They charge $5.50 for a bagel with vegetable cream cheese while Tribeca bagels (located right down the street) charges $2.70 for the exact same order. Will never be going back here even though I was usually charged $3.50 for the same order at Baz. After I kindly explained to the cashier that I was incorrectly charged - he explained that they charge $1.95 for the bagel plus $3.75 just to have they spread a thin layer of vegetable cream cheese.
In addition to the food the staff are friendly and kind. If youre looking for a bagel and lox experience this is worth the trip. Plus, after breakfast, brunch, or lunch you can walk a few minutes away to any other eatery in the Downtown Chinatown area. Theyve got fresh baked goods on display and for consumption if you feeling like getting a NY bagel to take home.
Great bagels in a cute location with vegan tofu cream cheese options that taste like the real deal.
Really good but There was Too Much bacon on my blt so IT was Too Much salty.
Really delicious bagel with smoke salmon and whole grain tomato’s cream cheese it is really different than regular sandwich doesn’t easily breaks off during biting it’s fueling also. Looks small but it is a lot. Best bagels New York is good bagels and bread
My first experience was greatLast time I was so disappointedI asked to toast my bagel and make it crispy- it was wetCream cheese too heavy and tastelessPlus no dine in
Chaotic.Stern.Brusque.Food= mehThe man behind the counter appears to hate life and his customers.I gave 3 stars cause of the outdoor seating.
Toasted bagel was a too toasted, to the point of being dry.A little pricier pricier than I would have expected for what I got.Good serviceEdit: service was pleasant but I think they got my order wrong and I want awake enough to say anything. Ordered a dish with lox and got a side of bacon.
The staff here is so nice! The food is good, but the fresh orange juice is not fresh at all!
My sister buys coffee here all the time so I thought it would be nice to send her a gift card (I live out of state.) I messed up her address and they were nice enough to cancel the old one and send her a new one to the correct address. I greatly appreciated their customer service and highly recommend giving them your business 😊
Food is decent but delivery is the worst. Always delaying, changing the delivery time and missing items very often.
I paid four dollars for a bagel and cream cheese. Damn, I expected it to be better. The deli style sandwiches looked really good, but at fourteen bucks a pop, I shouldnt be complaining about my sesame and cream cheese...
Overpriced, overhyped, with mediocre bagels at best. We paid almost 40 bucks for bagel and coffee for 2. Wouldnt go there again, ypu can find much better and more affordable places in Manhattan.
Most amazing bagel. So fresh I had the onion and garlic bagel with scallion cream cheese. Staff is pleasant. Next time I will sit at the counter. Love the decor and the vibes.
Staff were friendly, and the place was clean. I had the EGGS A LA BAZ for Bfast which is two latkes as a base layer, topped with two eggs, and Nova salmon. It was delicious. It came with a small fruit cup which wasnt that fresh for 10am, but I will give them a pass.
Overpriced but great staff. Nearly $14 for a bagel with lox, creak cheese, capers, tomatoes. Sorry, wasnt that special to warrant the price. The staff was great. Friendly and helpful.
Favorite bagel place in the city. Love the decor, and the staff is super courteous and friendly. Love all the different open faced sandwich options, and the latkes are 👌👌👌 Ive tried pretty much everything on the menu and I have no complaints.
Hip ambiance, servers are cute, but the price is Hip too... I paid almost 20 for a bagel with salmon and another white fish on top, yet the bagel was cold when its served.... I didnt finish the whole thing and asked the bar guy to wrap up my leftover, however he only wrapped the bagel without all the fish left there..I didnt find out until I got back to the office. I want the fish!!! Not sure why he didnt wrap up the fish for me......You go there for the hip vibe, but I dont think the bagel itself has outshone any local delis...
Nice Soho spot for bagels to go or a cheapish breakfast. Kitty breakfast was great and the bagels that come with almost any breakfast item on the menu are legit. Really friendly staff rounded it out
Please offer sliced pickles for your bagel sandwiches! 🙏🙏🙏
I go here everyday and cannot get enough! It is the cutest, friendliest, most delicious bagel spot in town. Do yourself a favor and try the tuna melt and pretty in pink sandwiches!
The best breakfast sandwich in NYC. And I know because I tried 30 different breakfast sandwiches from 30 different places in Manhattan last October. Baz is the hands down best Bacon Egg and Cheese in a bagel and the winner of my weird breakfast contest that was actually one of the best months of my life.
Nice bagels, friendly staff, good service.
Great bagels and super friendly service!
Absolutely fantastic spot. When youre in NYC you tend to find that the main streets like Broadway, 5th Ave and The 40s have food spots that fill up with people really fast. Its hard to get served with all the folks waiting for their bagels or ruebens or whatever. Baz is just far enough away from W Broadway that you wont be waiting long, if at all. And even if you did wait itd be worth it. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient staff and all your fave deli foods done to perfection. The corned beef and latke hash was amazeballs. You wont be disappointed.
The sears are so narrow, and the staff has such a strange unattractive uniform.. the food was okay though, with big choice.
The pumpernickel was good and chewy. The cream cheese options are limited but a good breakfast regardless.
Must be under new ownership. It used to have excellent food and yesterday’s experience was no better than a corner bodega and 3x the price.
Found this place on Munch and can finally say there’s a good bagel in the area. A short walk outside soho but finally a decent bagel
I just paid $16 for a bagel and iced coffee, among what was apparently with every 7-foot-tall pasty-white 20 year old in new york city. Would not recommend unless the survival of daddys hedge fund is contingent upon your regular instagram sightings here.
Absolutely amazing bagels. Oversized and perfect consistency. I will return. Highly recommended.
We saw this referenced on The best thing Ive ever had where they covered the Salmon Roe Latke. It didnt disappoint because that is awesome. We tried 3 more plates, all great. Prices are not particularly cheap but well worth it.
Very cozy restaurant. Excellent bagel-based sandwiches. Large portions. Even though this place is busy, the staff are attentive. Very easy to miss the storefront when driving.
Delicious bagels! And an old-school place with 80s music
Bagels are fine, but service was very poor. We watched our freshly toasted bagels get cold for 10 minutes as staff were simply unaware. This place seems to prioritize delivery and take away over sit down customers. Nothing special here.
I love the decor here, ordered a Baz bagel to go. Nova, scallion cream cheese, on a pumpernickel everything bagel. The portion was generous and this could have been lunch for two, but I ate it all, yummmm.
Incredibly overpriced for bad bagels
Youre better off finding a bodega. Took 20 minutes to make egg cheese bacon, costed $11.
My favorite pumpernickel bagel in NYC. Great size/flavor/chewiness ratio.

2022-03-27When in NYC you must have bagels for breakfast, and Baz Bagel is 100% the spot to have some!There are so many delicious bagels to choose from as well as exciting cream cheese flavors. We ordered a lox bagel and a rainbow bagel with beat and horseradish cream cheese and the flavors were out of this world!!The staff here are extremely friendly as well and service is amazing. You won’t regret stopping by for some delicious bagels!

2022-03-17So good! I had a plain gluten free bagel with vegan tofu blueberry cream cheese and it was absolutely amazing! I also got a Berry smoothie and coffee, which were also very nice. I would suggest making an online order, as they were busy and dont have indoor seating. They do have outdoor seating though!

2022-06-23Great bagel spot in Little Italy. They had a quality selection of bagels, cream cheese, and other deli items including whitefish salad. No indoor seating currently, but there are quite a few tables outside. This spot was busy and it took a while, but it was certainly worth the wait.

2022-05-01The best lox and cream cheese bagel I‘ve had so far in New York!! They may be a bit pricy but the flavor and the size of those bagels definitely justify the price. They also sell tasty smoothies and baking kits, so you can make your own bagels at home!!

2022-07-08Went for a quick breakfast and got a everything bagel with cream cheese. Definitely satisfied me, and unlike other places the cream cheese was smooth and melty, not clumpy. The staff was helpful and communicative and I’d love to go again.

2022-01-24Good bagels, friendly staff. The place is a bit small so you have to wait outside which can get cold, so be prepared. The coffee was just okay, but the bagel made up for it. I got a plan bagel with cream cheese and chives.

2022-06-12Eh. Don’t see the big deal. The potato latke was unseasoned and soggy since they didn’t pack it like you should package fried food. Basically it had no flavor. I got a plain bacon,egg, and cheese bagel and they also didn’t season the eggs. My order was made on time though and the service was good so that’s a plus. Wouldn’t go back though.

2022-07-08This is my favourite bagel in NYC. They are generous with the toppings you ask for and really take to heart what your toasting preference is to deliver what you ask for. The rest of their menu also sounds delicious but I haven’t had anything else.Update: the NYT (I think) said they had the best BLT in NYC, so I had it and I will say I disagree on that point. Not enough veggies to balance the bacon and mayo imo, the tomato was cut thiiiiinly and they only put two rounds, but their bagels are superb and the service is great and quick.

2022-05-18A little expensive but delicious! Lovely nova! Bagels slightly salty, would pair well with more fresh veggies so I’d do that next time
