Whether you're grabbing a lox bagel loaded with fresh avocado or a breakfast sandwich with crispy hash browns, you'll find the staff genuinely helpful and the energy warm and welcoming.

A must-visit for vegans who love a greasy breakfast sandwich. I always order the Pittsburgher, sub vegan egg, cheese, and sausage (and it comes with a hashbrown) on a vegan cheddar bagel. Absolutely mind-blowing. I've also had it on a classic everything bagel and it's so good. The portion size is quite large for a breakfast sandwich and I think it's worth every penny every time. I can't recommend the vegan breakfast sandwiches enough.
Delicious! I got a blt & a on an everything bagel. Maybe one of the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had. They have lots of bagel options as well as sandwich choices. We went on a Saturday around 11 and it was not too busy. The place is small so I can see it being hard to find seating in that case. They do have outside seating as well. I also got an iced matcha latte with sugar free vanilla syrup. Everything was great! The service could have been a little friendlier, the person who was working behind the counter seemed a bit uninterested
Brooklyn Bagel is so good. Service is pretty nice. The menu features a variety of breakfast and lunch options, of course featuring delicious New York style bagels. Ingredients are fresh and high quality. When I stopped by on a Saturday morning I tried the Avocado Bagel -which was very good- and the tasty BLTA Bagel. We also shared the spicy fried potatoes that bring the heat with a chili crunch. I would definitely visit here again. My only complaint was the limited seating, which I understand is unavoidable with the space provided. However, there should be a designated waiting area for customers who are just picking up a to-go order. Many were occupying seating, some even tables fit for four. My party of three who placed an in-house order struggled to squeeze into a nook to eat our meal. Staff should be more proactive and direct to-go customers to wait, standing off to the side, not lounging in seats other paying customers who wish to dine in could be using.
Good energy and great food. Staff greeted me promptly and helped me through the menu. Coffee was made quickly and plenty of seating while I awaited my bagel. Location itself is clean and comfortable - appreciated the well stocked station for napkins, coffee add ins, salt pepper ketchup etc. I opted for The Burgh - sausage, egg, cheese, and hash brown on your choice of bagel- I went with a well seeded everything bagel. Anyway—— it was delicious and I highly recommend giving Brooklyn Bagel a try!
Great spot. Easy and straightforward menu, sweet service, good food. I got the lox bagel and enhanced it with avocado slices (well invested $2), and the burg bagel which had a patty and hash brown and was satisfying. Lavender latte was surprisingly delicious. Service was patient and efficient. Not much parking around but with a bit of luck you can find a metered spot
