Where Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company appears on New York Dearest
It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.
Worth it
- Address286 8th Avenue & 63 E 8th Street
- From my guide, updated September 2026.
Based on the name, I assumed this bagel shop hailed from Brooklyn, but, surprise, surprise, they only have locations in Manhattan and Queens. Kettle boiled, the bagels are airy on the inside and crusty on the outside.
Of all the New York City bagels we’ve tried over the years, these are some of the largest and most delicious. In fact, this our go-to spot for birthday bagels (a tradition in our home).
The impressive spread selection is half the draw. My favorite flavor is kalamata olive and feta (holy cow, the best spread in NYC!) which we haven’t seen anywhere else. Can’t recommend these bagels highly enough!
Worth it, says Antonina. Been? Say if you agree.
