  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Bagel Hole is historic landmark in the world of Brooklyn bagels. Sticking to traditional baking methods since. They weigh in at about 4 ounces each (compared to standard 6 ounce NYC bagels). The size isn’t just for show; the smaller size results in a pleasantly chewy bagel with subtle flavor. Crowned with schmear, it’ll easily tide you over until lunch.
