Crema's Take
“Lula Bagel trades precision for personality, prioritizing a relaxed, unhurried vibe over traditional bagel shop efficiency—expect friendly service and a genuinely chill atmosphere rather than flawless execution. The bagels themselves are inconsistent (some regulars swear by the lox version, others say they're mediocre), and the coffee leans bitter, but the split pea soup and fresh-made sandwiches keep people coming back for a leisurely breakfast or meeting spot rather than a quick grab-and-go.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, quick-grab spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Found this place on my way to the 3 train. Conveniently located on my travels for a delicious sandwich. There was a bit of a wait but everything was made fresh. They have a wonderful variety of bagels and cream cheese flavors. Vegan and nut free option. On top of coffee (but…
