The Wheat Crisis is OVER!

by bboop19 at Citysearch

I work in Astoria and live in Staten Island, NY. I love bagels (even though they are loaded with carbs and i do my best to watch what i eat) and was soo glad when i first tasted the bagels at "Brooklyn Bagels" 2 years ago. The prices were alittle STEEP then but i just couldnt get enough of their bagels and specialty cream cheeses. I also liked the friendly staff (they would remember my coffee order or even have it ready for me when i got through the long line of customers). However, the prices for these bagels and specialty cream cheese have sky rocketed and are ASTRONAUMICAL!!! THE WHEAT CRISIS IS OVER!! There is no reason any person (ESPECIALLY DURING THE RECESSION) should pay $3.40 for a bagel with bacon and scallion cream cheese! Or $5.10 for a mini bagel with tuna salad for that matter!!! Granted, this is the only bagel store in town...BUT C'MON! Once in awhile sure but go to dunkin donuts down the block for a better deal..

Best Bagels in New York

by bagelmeister at Citysearch

The quality of these bages far surpasses any bagels I have ever eaten. I love their extraordinary large size as well as the way they are very chewy, like goo bread. The toppings are absolutely grand in that they are liberally applied to the entire surface area of the bagel. My favorites are garlic, onion, cinnamon and raisin, plain, salt. Come to think of it all of them are great. My only wish is that I could import them to Houston.

• Pros: This is the quntessential bagel shop!
• Cons: None

THE BEST IN ASTORIA

by 212r at Citysearch

Great place to have Lunch... The staff is very friendly and helpful. The Bagels are all hand roll, and thats is the reason why they are so huge, for sure the best in Astoria.

I have been going there for 3 years now and i eat there at least 3 times a week.

lunch and brunch there can be very crowded at times, unless you get there before 11:30 or after 1pm. They also have a great delivery service if you want to eat at the confort of your home.

• Pros: GREAT FOOD
• Cons: none
