Water Street Bagel Co.

Crema's Take
“This beloved Syracuse bagel institution crafts some of the finest bagels locals have encountered, with devoted fans returning specifically for their Western sandwich on varieties like the spicy everything bagel. The operation runs with impressive efficiency despite consistent crowds, though the cozy spot fills up quickly, making off-peak visits ideal if you want to linger. It's the kind of place that becomes a mandatory stop for visitors to town and a cherished routine for regulars who know a truly exceptional bagel when they taste one.”

Tried this spot for the first time, and their breakfast sandwiches easily compete with some of the best I had. I tried the Western on a plain bagel and it was truly delectable. Nice crispy bacon with the egg and cheese, paired well with the red onions and chipotle mayo. Can’t wait to try their other sandwiches soon. Will be coming back!!!
Busy spot and respectable food. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area; however there is limited seating so if it’s a cold day and you want to eat in perhaps find a time when it is slower. Recommend the rosemary bagel!
These are the absolute best bagels I have ever had! I am a huge Bagel fan and I definitely have tried many different Bagels from different locations. I was a little surprised by the price which was a little higher than expected. Once I took my first bite I was absolutely in love! Nice texture, dense chewy inside with a slightly crisp outside. I ate mine playing so I could really enjoy the flavor. Despite being a little higher price they are definitely worth it and I will be back every time that I am in Syracuse!
Stopped into grab a breakfast sandwich to go. Even with a line almost out the door they have a great system that moved us all through quickly. Our breakfast sandwichs didn't have toasted bagels and maybe that was on us for not knowing we needed to ask for that. Just a heads up if you are looking for a toasted or warm bagel to ask for that. We will definitely be going back!
These bagels are so freaking good. I’m not from Syracuse but a family member always picks up bagels from here whenever we’re in town! Most recently I tried the western on a spicy everything bagel and man I can’t stop thinking about it three weeks later. Can’t wait to try this place again!
