Brownstone Bagels

A few years ago, A.R.E.A. Bagels was the gold standard for bagels in this segment of Park Slope. While nobody can say why their original owners suddenly sold their business, since that bagel shop closed, Brownstone is your best bet for quality bagels in the neighborhood. Lines can be long, but they move the customers through. I've deducted a star for being a cash-only business, because when you're paying almost $9 for two untoasted bagels with specialty spreads, it's easy to see why their lack of a way to accept plastic is a disservice to their customers.

Outstanding bagels and bialys. These taste as good as what I remember from my childhood. Many flavors of cream cheese. Good coffee and sandwiches on many kinds of bread. Gets crowded but the line moves quickly.

This store bagel was awesome, fresh & good tests 10/10. Not too space for eating here, if weather permit you can eat outside limited chair. All foods very good quality . Price is little higher than the regular .

Bagels are delicious! Love the variety variety of cream cheeses especially the tofu cream cheese and I'm not even vegan but it's awesome! Sure sometimes is a little bit of a wait but it's a good bagel store. Read the review from Matthew who lives next door, I've been going there for 10 years I drive from Long Island to go to that bagel store and I've never seen any of the things he seen. Try them you wont be disappointed!

Staff was friendly and efficient, and the bagels we ordered tasted great. The only reason why I'm docking 2 stars is because I saw a number of flies flying around the store, which normally wouldn't be that big of a deal. However, they were landing and walking around on the bagels that were then being served to customers. I don't want to know what else the flies have landed on.
