Staff was knowledgeable about the vegan options and generous with the tofu cream, which itself was quite nice. Staff seemed a little rude at first, but turned out to be really kind! The place itself is comfy.
The staff wernt very helpful when I asked what was vegan and it felt like they didn’t want me there lol but after I got a bagel with tofu cream cheese alternative, it was flavourless. But atleast they had soemthing I could eat I guess?
I have been to Tal Bagels plenty of times, both here in at their 86th Street location. The bagels are good here (just make sure to ask for what is warmest and freshest). Then again, the bagels in any NYC bagel shop will be good, and just about all NYC bagel shops have choices for tofu spreads, so there is little that makes this one stand out.
I had sesame and everything bagels with the tofu vegetable spread and it was super yummy. There are two other vegan spreads. Good place to go if you are visiting New York with non-vegan friends and want to try bagels
