Modern Bread and Bagel

Wow! First time in over 6 years of being gluten free that I have even liked a bagel! Easy to say best gluten free bagel I've ever had. Will definitely be back and place future online orders!

Ordered bagels for shipping and they were perfect. Such a pleasure all around. This place makes being Gluten Free much easier. I’ll order again and again and again.

I want to start off by saying it is never my intention to hurt a small business in anyway but I do want to give an honest review. I lived in NY for 10 years as an adult and I grew up eating bagels everyday- they are my favorite food of all time. A year ago, I found out that I am allergic to gluten which was absolutely devastating given my loves for bagels and any baked good really. Fortunately it’s fairly easy to find good gluten free baked goods these days but it’s NOT easy to find good gluten free bagels. I found modern bread and bagel online the other day and was SO excited to try the bagels that everyone swears taste exactly like a real bagel. I ordered them online and they arrived with no ice pack or anything which I found odd given the time of year…I used to order from Zabars out of state and there was always an ice pack included to keep them fresh. They were however vacuum sealed which I know is supposed to do the same thing I guess? When I opened them the garlic had basically melted everywhere due to the heat. Now maybe they taste better completely fresh and I have considered that. I proceeded to eat one anyways and I’m honestly not thrilled. The texture is off like way off, they are very dense instead of light and fluffy ..they don’t toast well (have tried 3 different settings on my toaster) and they get hard immediately after toasting -like many other gluten free bagels. I was pleased with the size of the bagel and the everything seasoning for the most although honestly it had a bit of a weird flavor. I’m only writing this because everyone is saying they can’t tell a difference. Well this is somewhat close to a regular bagel but in no way does this taste like a real New York gluten filled bagel. I guess bagels are one or the only things that can’t be recreated, it’s just extremely disappointing

I usually don't post about places, but this place is wonderful! I purchased 6 bagels ( 2 everything, 2 plain and 2 cinnamon raisin). The bagels were delicious. This place has the best gluten free bagels that I have ever had. I highly recommend it!

I went in part because of the great reviews. They could all be true. But, not for bagels. They charge $2.75 per bagel and have no clear signage that they’re about to rip you off. I can’t understand why they’d do this. They can’t make much money off of them. I’m hopeful that it’s some sort of pandemic pricing and they’re forced to charge like that. Either that that or they don’t respect their customers. The bagel is good, but not great. And no bagel could stand up to that sort of pricing. Obviously, I will not be returning. (Three stars because they are gluten free - so if you need that, perhaps you’re willing to pay the surcharge)
