Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company

I had high expectations because of the hype. Expectations not met. Still would go back if I don't find a better spot in the neighborhood.

Line moves quick enough but the staff are not organized in an efficient manner...it feels scattered...you're expected to be out of the way but also ready to claim your sandwich/coffee immediately upon it being ready.

The jalapeño cream cheese was a real let down.
Other cream cheese flavors were good - bacon scallion was tasty. Plain is good.
Bagels were fresh. They have a nice assortment.
Coffee is pretty good and they sell it in bulk - like a box of joe....got this and a dozen bagels for the moving guys who helped move me in around the corner and it was a real hit.
Cashiers are friendly in my experiences here.

I'd give it a whirl if you're curious, but the hype overdid the experience for me.

????????AMAZING NYC bagels! These bagels are huge, freshly baked, and hot out of the oven. They are slightly crispy on the outside, soft, chewy, and doughy on the inside. They are covered in tasty seeds and seasonings. These bagels are slightly larger than other places, making them much more filling and satisfying. They have vegan cream cheese options available. The vegetable tofu cream cheese spread went great on an everything bagel.

I would recommend NOT ordering your bagel toasted here, as the consistency of the bagel fresh out of the oven is truly divine. Toasting the bagel will ruin this wonderful consistency.

This place is a must-try NYC bagel place if you are in the area. It is an excellent option for vegans seeking breakfast. It’s a great place to have around Astoria!????????

There is just no denying that this place makes the best bagels period. The selection is amazing along with all the different flavors of cream cheese to try. I highly recommend this establiment to anybody looking for a solid breakfast choice before heading out to work.

If you don't have cash on you this is the place to get a quick breakfast. I didn't like the ordering system, food and drink in two different places can be confusing but getting fresh O.J over coffee was a good choice. The bagels here are the best in the area, eggs weren't overcooked and were made to order correctly. Definitely a place to come back too.
