Our weekend game plan: Get there as early as we can, buy one egg omelette , one with fresh fish , a couple plain bagels for later in the day, and then get home before the queue forms around ten.
Jalapeño cream cheese and fresh lox are the best bagel based breakfast I've ever had
Great bagels ! The bialy is a bagel that's cooked differently than the others. Wikipedia steered me wrongly into thinking it would have stuff in the middle. Get it with spread with some flavor!
My go-to breakfast spot in fidi. Solid bagels . Impressive lox selection. My favorite is the Shimmy. Whitefish salad and lox on a bagel = heavenly ❤️
Pro tip: If it's crowded and you can, do yourself a favor and get your bagels untoasted and the cream cheese (if you're getting it) separate. Saves you the wait time and the people around you.
Best bagels in FiDi !! Great for a quick breakfast/lunch. They have a large smoked fish selection and their lox bagel is decent, but if you’re seeking really good lox this probably isn’t the place.
Great tasing my bagels ! Usually always a line but moves quick most days
Everything bagel , jalapeño cream cheese , smoked salmon , and onion . Grab, head to the Staten Island ferry , & enjoy as you cruise .
Expect a reasonably long line during the morning, very quick service and great bagels !! Definitely ask to toast the bagel .
Keep this on the down low, but rumor has it Leo's is serving the same delicious bagels as the ever popular Murray's bagels . They even have the same specials listed. Shh...
Possibly the best bagels in New York, so that's saying a lot. Whitefish salad on an everything bagel totally rocks.
Almost every one I talked to mentioned Leo’s, so had to try. I got an onion bagel with a garlic/sun dried tomato cream cheese . When I asked for it toasted, them had said the bagels were still warm.
I'm obsessed with finding the best sausage , egg , and cheese on toasted everything. This one is pretty damn good. Bagels are fresh and soft. Add avocado .
One of my favorite places for a bagel . It's tiny inside, but the options are great! Staff can be... Ugh, "snippy"... At times. But a fresh bagel makes up for it.
I had a turkey and bacon bagel . So so good. Will definitely return and work my way through menu, but have to agree with other comments - the coffee is truly awful and service doesn't come with a smile
Best bagel I've had in some time!! Loved the sun-dried tomato and garlic spread !! Absolutely delicious. So glad we stopped in :)
Large selection of lox , excellent bagels . Went here both mornings for breakfast , it was that good (and short lines around 11a)
Best bagels in FiDi . Skip the coffee .
Great bagels , though we went too late in the day for them to be hot. Sun dried tomato and garlic cream cheese was delicious.
These bagels are pretty great but the line can be completely ridiculous. Go after the morning rush, or just walk around the corner to the deli .
Fast, fresh, delicious! Many options you can choose from. Good!
very tasty, you can choose whatever you want in. Fast and cheap
The toasted everything bagel with cream cheese is one of those miraculous bites of food.
Boiled hand rolled everything bagel with scallion cream cheese ???? LOVE
Best bagel place I've been able to find in FiDi. But why is it so dark and dank in there? They need to brighten up the place! Literally needs better lighting.
It is okay to get the tofu spread (scallions , too?) once in a while instead of the real big cream cheese . I used to eat the Orchard Street sandwich consistently, but I switched to just lox only. Alas
Best choice for bagels in FiDi - lox (any type) sandwich on a everything bagel is hard to beat
Amazing bagels ! Lots of great breakfast and sandwich and cream cheese options!
The bagels are good. The cream cheese is really good!
Don’t be afraid of the long line . It moves quickly and the bagels are soooooo worth it!
bacon , egg and cheddar cheese on a sesame bagel - amazing to eat and fills you for most of the day. double win!
Best bagels in FiDi , hands down. Get any two-egg sandwich and you won't be disappointed
best bagel below Canal . Great for hangovers, but limited seating . Sit on the benches outside in the little park .
I tried a bagel from here and it was rock solid. They also have a very limited choice of bagels . Leo's did not have either of my two favorite bagels , Asiago or Egg . Very overrated.
Order in grubhub and pick it up, just throw it in the bag
Its a long wait but sure worth it!!! I got a breakfast sandwich on a plain burger ! ????????
What you expect a bagel to taste like. Get the Waldorf Chicken Salad for a sweeter version of the traditional salad
The line can be long and the wait more than 15 minutes - but the best breakfast bagels downtown by far!
Love the garlic bagel with bacon , egg and cheese ! Quality stuff. 4/5
Bagels are great. Egg sandwiches-not so much. They fry the egg like an omelette rather than break the yolk in pan, & it comes out kind of hockey pucky. They don't melt cheese either. Just get a bagel .
The chai latte had such a great flavor! Didn't taste like flavored water like other bagel shops .
Go early for the great tasting bagels
Personal favorite is toasted whole wheat bagel with jalapeno spread, egg , tomato and lettuce!
Very tasty (when they manage to make your order correctly). Best bagel option in FiDi.
The salmon bagels don’t come with cream cheese unless you make a special request for it.
Rating this best NYC bagel , not sure why it never gets on the lists. They obviously never had their jalapeño cream cheese .
So sad that Leo's has gone downhill....been a loyal customer since '07 ... ordered 100s of times. I place the same order every weekend, and 3x in a row, they omitted an item, the same sandwich .
Tip: order your favorite bagel and go enjoy it on the elevated acre 200 m from Leo's bagels
The space is very small and typically crowded but the bagels are worth the trouble. A FiDi gem.
smoked salmon here is amazing - try the scottish salmon :)
The basil and mozzarella and tomato is great. But the buffalo chicken pizza is amazing! - michele jarrett
The specialty burgers are my absolute favorite. Cooked to perfection and the fries are delish! - Taylor Smith
Great iced coffee, but the real charmer here is the (hot) mocha cappuccino. - Brian Masefield
Typical of their other spots but not so comfy to pause inside. The best move is probably to take it over to Union Square Park to enjoy. - DoubleDeuce
Great fresh bagels with everything you want. Great fish quality as well. Grab one and walk a view steps to Hudson River. - Kay Liedl
Amazing bialys and great lox! Cool guys and they do some fancy bialy specials with local chefs - ᴡ Meza
Second to none atmosphere. Casual , relax, no body cares about anything. Just enjoy the scene. Love it at the end of t afternoon! - Fabio
Try to get a table near the window. (Hanover Street side. ) the view can be very interesting during lunch time. - Pascal Antoine
Spacious, plenty of seating, well-staffed with friendly people. One of the best Starbucks in NYC. - Billy Henehan
