What People Are Saying About Tal Bagels
Featured Review

The Scene – Abundant red neon signage and plenty of vertically suspended salamis compete for visual attention at Tal Bagel, a popular Upper East Side spot that serves some of the best bagels in the city. The restaurant is frequently a circus of activity on weekend mornings and is especially popular with families. An eager team of Bangladeshis fills orders behind the counter. – – The Food – Bagels from Tal have a great chewy texture, with an overall mass somewhere between those from H&H and Ess-a-Bagel. Accompaniment-wise, Tal stocks all of the usual suspects, including…

really good bagels. even a brit can tell that
by gmorient1 at Citysearch
I'm a Brit so what do i know about Bagels. I just walk past this place on the way to get my Sunday Times from a news agent across the street. This place looked busy and now I know why. I just bought some bagels to take home with me and they are definitely the best I've had. Normally I'd toast but no ned, they were still warm and absolutely fresh. Next Sunday I'm gonna eat in and try the smoked fish which looks really good.

Very tasty
by yumlum at Citysearch
I had a sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese and my boyfriend had a raisin bagel. We both loved our on-the-go lunch. They don't need to be toasted because they were nice and crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Much, much better than H&H Bagels.

A good bagel
by sandra at Citysearch
Good bagels and good cream cheese. None of that yucky whipped stuff. But they don't have a toaster, which is strange.

Break of dawn with Bagel
by Ronansari at Citysearch
Want to start your day with a great bagel. Try Tal Bagel located on 86th street on the East side. On return from a long night out I stopped by. They have great bagel specially in the morning since they are right out of the oven. The bagels here are perfect soft and tender on the inside an slightly crusty on the outside great for sandwiches. There chicken soup actually has chicken in it and the tuna is mouth-watering. These place is not fancy but with one the most organized, excellent and friendly service with is quick to go. The staff seems highly organized and fast worker with reasonable prices. Surprise to find out they do not make eggs and don't toast bagel I guess cause they are always serving fresh. Great bagel place.
- Pros: Fast & friendly staff, Excellent Bagels, Great Sandiwches
- Cons: No Eggs

Now That's A Bagel
by ilisa at Citysearch
Great bagels made the old-fashioned way. The appetizing is excellent - just as good as Zabars & Barney Greengrass at a reasonable price (if bought by the pound). Drawbacks: service is slow and they don't toast!
- Pros: delicious
- Cons: no toasting, service is slow
