Finally made it up to absolute bagels.. very much NO frills situation .. the queue went super quickly! But I actually did not enjoy the experience of the shop or the look/feel of it inside! Super super run down.. there’s authentic feel and then theres falling apart! With a queue down the block most days you can afford to make the shop look a bit more presentable! Anyway the bagels were great.. went for the classic everything with scallion cream cheese and a salmon and cream cheese! Bagel super chewy yet crunchy.. would have preferred more garlic/onion on the everything bagel also super cheap compared to other famous bagel shops!
The bagel itself was good; it’s crunchy outside, and it’s so soft inside, but I think this place is a little overhyped. I feel like I can get the same or similar qualities to the bagel that I bought in other bagel shops. I was waiting around 30 minutes in line, and I feel it's not worth the wait that long, but at least now I know how it tastes.
If you’ve never been here before my suggestion is to come here on the weekdays and not the weekends because the weekends tend to be crowded.
I got the Nova (smoked salmon) with garlic and chive cream cheese, with lettuce tomato, and onion. We also bought 4 everything bagels to go. It costs me a lot for the Nova (smoked salmon). No tables to eat inside, you can only buy there and eat it outside. CASH ONLY. The servers were really nice and friendly.
We got egg sandwiches, cinnamon raisin w/ blueberry cream cheese, and everything was great. Crispy surface, chewy flavorful insides. Keeping a star on this spot if I'm back up here.
One of the many bagels I got try in New York and will easily put it my top 5, has all the great bagel characteristics of a crusty exterior and chewy inside, no need to toast. Really enjoyed the garlic chive cream cheese as well.
The bagels were perfectly seasoned and baked. Probably the best bagel in New York city! Crispy on the outside, but soft and fluffy inside. All creamcheese flavors were delicious (especially the savory ones). I personally like the “chives” and “herbs” creamcheese. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I ordered a sesame bagel with chives and garlic, an everything bagel with tuna salad, and an egg bagel with blueberry cream. They are so good with crispy crust and flavory sauce. If you are international visitors, remember ‘Everything bagel’ is a name of the bagel instead of a bagel with meat and lettuce.
I ate Mozzarella cheese and tomato on everything bagel and vegan cream cheese with sun dried tomatoes also with everything bagel.
It is a pretty good bagel, but I didn’t understand what’s the hype.
I wouldn’t stay in line for this again, but if you are in the area and the line is short it is worth the visit
Absolute Bagels in NYC is a gem. I had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and it was divine. The array of bagel types - plain, poppy, sesame, onion, garlic - is impressive. This place is a bustling hub for both tourists and locals, and for a good reason. Fast-paced, friendly service, and the bagels are really, really tasty. A must-visit!
Best bagels I had during trip to New York. Crunchy outside, soft and chewy inside. Cream cheese is also I believe the best. Not to be missed, truly a gem. Line is long but totally worth waiting. Attention: cash only.
There's no other place I'd rather go for a bagel. There are options for all tastes, the bagels are baked right in front of you (so fresh!) and the amount of cream cheese they add to each bagel is ungodly. They definitely do it right. Once you have these bagels, you won't want to go back!
