BagelSmith

I came from afar looking for the perfect lox bagel sandwich. I looked at a bunch of nearby bagel places but could not see one online with the whole package. Bagel Smith did not disappoint! Lox, cream cheese, red onion, tomato, capers on a toasted everything to go- delicious. And the 2 women cranked out orders quickly on a busy Sunday am.

I’m a Long Island expatriate who’s “home” on a visit to see my dad. I know that some bagel shops sell dozens at deep discounts in the last hour of the day, so I ran down here to Lawrence Ave. to see if Bagel Smith does so. Google Maps said that they were closing soon—16:00. (It’s Thursday.) Well, I got here at 15:20, walked up to the shop, and noticed that it seemed dark inside. Yep. The door was locked. They were closed more than a half hour before their stated hours said they would be. That’s disappointing, because from the outside, it looks like a nice shop. I hope that they didn’t have a family emergency or something to necessitate closing early, but apart from that, I don’t know why they would. It’s unseemly to close early by 40 minutes just because things might be slow.

Awesome egg sandwiches, great bagels, and the spreads are all delicious and handmade. The ladies who run the show there are top notch,I've never had an issue with a single order in the five years I've frequented the establishment. That in itself is truly remarkable!!!

Excellent bagels, especially the sunflower seed bagel. Salads are a bit hit or miss - the ‘chicken salad’ is sometimes a rather off-tasting tuna salad.

I’ve eaten here 3 times over the past 2 weeks and got awesome egg sandwiches both times. My little brother went and he loved it aswell. We are super picky egg sandwich eaters and they nailed all 7 sandwiches we’ve bought. Highly recommended. Amazing bagels.
