First time I ordered... AND THE LAST!

When the food finally came, it was ok (not great the way a $75 order ought to be, just OK).

That said, the promised delivery time was 20-30 minutes. The actual delivery time was 1 hour 15 minutes - despite 2 phone calls to find out when the order would be delivered.

There are plenty of other places from which to order (even better) bagel breakfast sandwiches. I will look for one next time. Maybe you would be wise to do the same.

By the way, I am also going to avoid using Grubhub. Thought they were a good platform from which to order. Again, no follow up from them to my negative review. No more orders thru Grubhub for me.

Pros: Food when it finally came was OK.

Cons: Failure to deliver when promised., Lack of concern by store personnel (Guadalupe) , No follow up from store or Grubhub.

Delicious bagels

I got an everything whole wheat bagel with tofu vegetable cream cheese (my favorite). Bagel was toasted perfectly and the cream cheese was tasty! The food came fast given the large number of people as well.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere

Bagel & Bialys Shop with some vegan options

The vegan options available at this bagel shop has 3 tofu cream cheese, fresh orange juice and almond and oat milk for drinks. I recently visited for the first time in a while and had a delicious everything bagel with tofu cream cheese.

Like most other NYC bagel shops

To say that the bagels here are like those you’ll find in other NYC bagel shops is not necessarily a criticism—since all NYC bagel shops have great bagels, and they all offer vegan cream cheese (including many that are not listed on HC). Since I live nearby, I go to this branch of Kossars all the time when I am very hungry and want a filling (if non-nutritious) meal. But there is little that distinguishes this place from a HappyCow perspective. In contrast, the bagel shop across the street offers more vegan options.

Note that this is a branch of the famous Kossars whose flagship store is in the Lower Eastside. I might be influenced by sentimental factors, but from what I recall the Lower Eastside Kossars offers tastier bagels and bialys than this one.
