Tal Bagels - New York City

Feels tired. But it’s basically all we have in the neighborhood, especially with a place to sit. Thanks landlords!Not enough and overworked “Mexican”workers, so the lines can be ridiculous. Not a dedicated cashier, which would make service smoother. Tables and chairs are old, wobbly and not in a cute antique way.The bagels? They are OK. Nothing like anything one would get in Queens. The spread display is unappealing and the several slabs of smoked salmon in the front case are far from appetizing, pardon the pun. Throw some oranges, some plastic flowers in there, make it look pretty.Should be good but mediocre at best.

Dishonest pricing. They will just add extra to your bill for the fun of if. Skip this spot and go to Broad Nosh on 86th and Broadway instead. Far superior bagel and fair pricing.

The bagel was warm and made with love. New favorite bagel

Excellent food, friendly servers, with that old NYC charm!

The best nova lox, cream cheese and the greatest freshest bagels. Great coffee. Long line moved quickly. Great neighborhood restaurant for brunch.
