Tal Bagels

The bagels are tasty, especially in combination with cream cheese and tender lox . Freshly squeezed orange juice is a good complement. Cappuccino is offered in ceramic cups and is reasonably priced.

Friendly , efficient, fast staff . Delicious bagel , try the flat bagels , they are even more delicious. The mini muffins are to die for! Clean bathroom at all times, clean place at all times, I love it!

Their penchant for overportioning items charged by weight (like cream cheese ), which is a hassle to have them correct, is tolerated since the bagels are the best in the immediate area.

One of our favorite places to grab a bagel on the UES. We love to come here for the bagel & cream cheese and coffee combo - at $4.50 it's a pretty great deal!

One of the best bagels on the UES. Service is weird and clientele is annoying, but the bagels are legit. Ask for what's fresh, and if you buy 6 they will make them for you on the spot

Incredible spreads and delicious bagels ! Creamed herring A+. Super fast staff . Best location- the original!

Friendly , Excellent and Knowledgeable Staff ! Fast Service , Clean , they have the best Bagels in the world!!! Try the new Bagel Sesame Sticks, you will faint, they are sooooo Goooood!!!

The toasted flat everything bagel with scallion cream cheese is the best I've had in NYC.

Really enjoyed the smoked herring and cream. Bagels were fresh out the oven even at 8 pm. Delicious! Service also great!

Great Service, Fast, Efficient and Professional Staff . The same staff has been working there for years and know all the neighborhood customers and their tastes...

great bagels , only downside is they're kosher so no bacon . I love my bacon .

Toasted flat everything bagel with Nova and a little bit of cream cheese is out of this world

Had the everything bagel with lox spread . Delicious!!!!

Been going here for years. Definitely terrible service but incredible bagels and reasonable coffee . $11 for a huge bagel w cream cheese lox and all the fixin's, not bad at all

Very fresh bagels (nicely chewy interior) and great lox + spreads.

This is the best bagel shop in Manhattan, hands down! Be sure to try their egg salad - delish!

Crispy and chewy bagel with heaps of lox and cream cheese

Decent bagels , lots of space to sit. Obviously, not as good as ess-a-bagel. Watch out for the pricey OJ .

For a quick snack get the special: a large coffee latte and any kind of bagel with cream cheese for $4.50

Only second to Murrays Bagels . This place is my go-to on the UES!

most amazing bagel & lox on the face of this earth. ues jews are doin it and doin it and doin it well . #highlyrecommend

Sesame bagel with chives cheese

Good bagel , but I seriously doubt that the staff pays attention what customers say! For the last two times they screwed up my orders, giving me the wrong bagel , never going back

The better bagels for those living on the Upper East Side

Friendly , patient and efficient staff !

???? epic fail, nasty attitudes didn't help the experience ????

i echo the "unfriendly workers " comments some made, but also really like this place so I keep going.

If you ask for bacon , don't expect bacon . Expect some sort of mystery meat.

The Best bagels in the entire world!

Great bagels , fish and jelly donuts for hannukah

Tuna all the way.

Great service? Ask for a sample.

Not a good bagel spot. They mess up every order.

Only in NYC can you get a bagel "scooped" out... which essentially means more room for cream cheese .

WORST SERVICE/STAFF EVER. The rudest and most unhygienic employees, sneezing into their gloves and touching the food. I will never come back here again.

Best egg salad on the UES.

The best bagels in the USA!!!

Amazinnnnnggg bagels on the ues!!

The Spicy Tuna salad is crack.

How this place has good reviews? I do not know. Every single order was wrong. Make sure they got it right before walking out!! Not to mention they are rude as hell. Skip this place.

This place has some balls. They charge the same price for regular bagels as for minis. Not with it. Highway robbery. Do not eat here. Rude and slow service as well .

Not impressed with the service. It's 10 am on a beautiful Friday. No need to be so grumpy.

Get it toasted. Guy told me it was "fresh." gnope.

Great bagels , but TERRIBLE customer service.
