Noah Weiss

The bagels are good, but the smoked fish sandwiches are great. Get the #2 with beet cured salmon and horseradish cream cheese , or the #3 with Tobiko spread (fish roe ).

Ranu Rajkarnikar

You won't be disappointed. This is an upscale bagel done right. Lox , scallion cream cheese , capers , cucumbers and red onion on a toasted sesame bagel . BAM.

Alexis Bendjouia

Seriously delicious. The bread is so soft and melts in your mouth. They have tofu spread! Generous portions of smoked salmon which is awesome and sometimes rare. Strongly recommend

Epicurious

The not-quite-Montreal-style, not-quite-classic-New-York bagels begin with a yeast-raised dough that's hand-rolled, boiled in water that's been sweetened with honey , & baked in a wood-fire oven. Read more

Hugh Robertson

Don't overthink it. The lox schmear on a salt bagel is perfection. Flavours deliciously balanced and incredibly satisfying - and it is the cheapest thing on the menu!

Emily Jenkins

oh my gosh! These bagels are amazing!! I got #1, which is with smoked salmon , etc. all of the ingredients are delicious, some of the best I've ever had. There is seating, but limited, we waited 10 min

Liesel

Grab a bagel on a weekend morning. Beet cured salmon , tobiko spread - or both. Instead of eating it there, walk down to the Elizabeth St Garden on a nice day.

Epicurious

Yes, the bagels are delicious. But Bernamoff and Kliegman also tapped into something that restaurateurs have been keen on for awhile now—style matters just as much as substance. Read more

Adrian Phillips

Killer breakfast bagel . #20, all beef sausage two eggs and cheese on an everything bagel . Skip the salads and get a side of pickles as this big boy will fill you up.

nichole b

They make the sesame bagel of my dreams - crispy exterior made more crispy due to the abundance of toasted sesame seeds , perfect chewy interior. Better than Russ & Daughters, maybe even Murray's.

The New Yorker

The shop does sandwiches “extremely well , pairing bubblegum-pink tobiko spread with smoked salmon and butter lettuce , and whitefish salad with cream cheese and sweet marinated cucumbers .” Read more

Adley

Yum! Bagel with salmon , avocado and tomato spread is the best! Sweet options are yummie too!

Silvia Edgell

I had to try this place after following for so long at my IG. So glad I did, really fantastic and fresh bagels . Try the nova sandwich on a everything bagel - heaven ! Great coffee also.

Gothamist

Black Seed's eensy bagels wowed us when they debuted last year. And while they serve up a slew of praiseworthy sandwiches , our favorite is the spectacular Sable. Read more

Mari Talai

I love their collaborations and weekly specials !! So unique you won't find it anywhere else. Their bagels are so yummy - perfect in size!

Roniel Tessler

Very yummy. Crunchy, a bit sweet, and all around great bagel . I've had better salmon , but the inventive cream cheese flavors like horseradish will tickle your tastebuds.

Oliver Delgado

The specialty spreads and nut butters are great; even an everything bagel with cream cheese is delicious. The bagels are smaller than NY bagels by design, so sample a few combos.

melissa Hochman

Salmon on multi everything with tobiko is top 5 bagels I've ever had. Expensive but worth it. Not your big fluffy nyc bagel , but we could all use a little portion control

Jeffrey

And the bagels are hot and fresh throughout the day: Smallish in size with a largish hole that affords a superior crust-to-crumb ratio, they’re perfectly dense and chewy, with a hint of crispness

Jessica T

Get the Ricotta and apple on sesame . I didn't love the Tobiko spread with lox and butter lettuce because there was too much spread and lox for the bagel .

Marc

Tasting Table: A dream collaboration between Noah Bernamoff of Mile End Deli and Matt Kliegman of The Smile means Nolita is now serving hot, hand-rolled, wood-fired bagels at $1.50 a piece.

Jwow

Montreal meets New York bagel ... Sounds scary, but the bagels do not disappoint. Insider tip: grab a box of home made bagel chips to nosh on later!

Rebecca Mazza

Definitely the most expensive bagel I've ever had but it was also the best. The bagels are thinner than normal which I appreciate

Rafi Syed

Everything bagel is the move here. No need to get it toasted as it's already pretty crispy on the outside. Skip the sandos and just add your favorite schmear.

Faye H

Yummy bagels and sandwiches are great. They're a nice size so it's not overwhelming. It's really pricey , though! Definitely not an "every day on your way to work" breakfast .

Nikki Bogopolskaya

If you want to avoid a line , go before 10:30AM on weekends. Grab your bagel to go and eat it in the Elizabeth Street sculpture garden a few blocks down rather than the cramped tables inside.

Faith

Everything bagel with two eggs , avacado , tomato , and spicy mayo on the side ($10) really hit the spot! So delicious

Andrew Weiser

Italian combo with ham , salami , provolone cheese , tomato , onions , pepperoncini peppers , sliced olives , and Italian vinaigrette .

Michael Waxman

Some of the best bagels in NY. Hand rolled and decidedly hipster , but delicious. Also, check out the interesting home made spreads!

Nate Beatty

The bagels are really wood fired and are truly authentic ; not that prepackaged chewy oversized junk you find in midtown delis . This is the real deal

Bryan McKee

The #2 sandwich , with beet-cured salmon , horseradish cream cheese , and radishes is AMAZING...and this is coming from someone who doesn't even like cream cheese !

jennifer han

the #1 with tobiko cream cheese , hold the tomato . contrary to my usual greedy tendencies, i prefer the smaller bagel size...it's perfect. c'mon, there's TOBIKO SPREAD .

Jeffrey

Montreal Style Bagel Sandwich - the Montreal bagel is smaller, sweeter and denser, with a larger hole, and is always baked in a wood-fired oven.

Anechka M.

Grab your very tasty bagel and go to the park on Elizabeth street to enjoy it the most

Elie Bleier

Pricey , but so totally worth it. Dense, firm & fresh bagels . The #2 was absolutely outstanding. Will be back very, very soon.

Jeremy Jacobowitz

Ranks right up there with absolute best bagels in NYC!! Try all their unique spreads!

Jeremy Fisher

Best bagels in NY. #5 with sturgeon is amazing. Expensive though

Todd Bida

Everything bagels toasted with a little cream cheese .

Lauren Maddahi

Don't expect a good cushy NY style bagel because these babies are based on the Montreal style bagel . Thinner, larger hole in the center - and also $11+ for a nova sandwich ... Womp

Kimmie Ohh

Try all of their special collaborations with other small & local businesses! Worth the splurge!

Emily Wilson

Look out for their special bagels created by chefs from around the country

Nash Pleasant

Bagel sandwiches , can’t go wrong with the lox or an egg sandwich

Sara States

This place is magic. That tobiko spread with the smoked salmon and the butter lettuce ...damn. Not cheap but totally worth it.

Cuauthemoc Sandoval

#1 on a poppy was great! They are a bit small so plan to try two.

PureWow

Worth the wait. If you are patient enough, the tobiko-caviar spread is a must try! Read more

Varun Shetty

Get the #3. Tobiko spread , salmon and lettuce on a poppy bagel . It's small and expensive . Like a Porsche.

Shina

Can't go wrong with this spot, pick one of their specials or get something plain like an egg and cheese bagel .

Joel Savitzky

Perfect bagel size, fillings and garnishes . Lives up to the hype!

Annie Tolochinski

Bagel heaven. Be prepared to wait, but it's worth it.

Albert Alwang

Sable in a salt bagel . A little pricy but a great bfast treat.
