Black Seed - New York

Staying at CitizenM Bowery, this is by far our favorite place to get breakfast! Amazing bagels, friendly staff and great coffee and tea. Pictured is The Boca’s on an everything bagel.

Great bagels. Great coffee. Although I was expecting super thin bagels like I have had in Montreal I was actually pleasantly surprised that these bagels sit in girth somewhere between the fatty NYC style bagels and the too thin to hold anything true Montreal style. The bagels do have that unique chewy on the inside, crunchy on the outside NYC bagel consistency that everyone craves, but with an added something that comes from being wood fire baked. The eggs on the breakfast bagels are cooked perfectly, hand done, without that overly fluffy cooked in a microwave feel that too many NYC bagel places have. I'd take these over much vaunted places like absolute bagel anytime, and as an added bonus there is no line!

One of my favorite Bagel Shops in New York. I like the varied menu.

Great bagels and coffee. Super friendly…a little disjointed from the online ordering experience. It slowed things down. But it also filled me up and super delish

The bagels here are quite good and remind me of what you'd typically find in NYC. They offer standard varieties of bagels and cream cheeses, but nothing particularly unique. Nevertheless, the quality is impressive, which is what they've built their reputation on.
