Worth it
  • Address874 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10065
  • From my guide, updated September 2026.

Gourmet Bagels on Lexington Avenue is a go-to morning pit stop for lots of folks in this neighborhood. You can grab a hot coffee, a solid Upper East Side bagel, and be on your way without any chaos. Besides quality bagels, they offer sandwiches, wraps, and burritos for a quick, on-the-go bite.

Although there are a few chairs available, I personally enjoy taking a stroll to Central Park, a few blocks away. Having one of the best bagels from the UES in the park, does it get any better? I doubt it.
