Looking for the Best Bagels in Williamsburg?
Everybody's got an opinion on what makes a bagel good. Here's ours. It starts with the hands. Our bagels are rolled one at a time, every single morning, right here in Greenpoint. That's slower than pressing dough through a machine. But you can taste it. A hand rolled bagel has a tighter crust and a chewier inside, and it holds up when you pile stuff on it instead of going soft and squishy halfway through.
Fresh matters just as much. A bagel is at its best the day it's baked. So we bake every day. If you're coming from Williamsburg, the walk past McCarren Park is short enough that your bagel's still warm when you get it home. Or eat it on a bench in the park. Honestly, that's not a bad way to start a Saturday.
Picking a flavor? Plain and sesame are the safe bets. Everything is the one people fight over. Cinnamon raisin works sweet or with plain cream cheese. And then there are Cragels, our croissant and bagel mashup, which you kind of have to try once. Not sure what other folks order? Check out what our regulars have to say before you come in.
Sixteen Cream Cheeses and What Goes With Them
The cream cheese is where a lot of people get stuck. Sixteen flavors is a lot. And every one is made in house, so it's thick and fresh, not the stuff whipped full of air. Scallion is the classic. Jalapeno cheddar has a bit of a kick. Plain tofu is there for anyone skipping dairy, and it spreads just as nicely on a toasted everything bagel.
A quick tip. Strong bagels like everything or onion pair best with simple spreads, so the flavors don't fight. Plain or sesame bagels are your blank canvas. That's where the wilder cream cheeses really shine. Cinnamon raisin? Go plain, or try something sweet. You can't really mess it up, but a little matching goes a long way.
Want more than a schmear? Our smoked fish and lox sandwiches are built on the same fresh bagels. The salmon is hand sliced, so it's thin and silky instead of thick and chewy. Toss on the fixings and you've got a proper Brooklyn breakfast. Or lunch. We don't judge.
Breakfast Sandwiches, French Toast and Coffee
Not a cream cheese person? Fine. Our breakfast sandwiches stack eggs on a fresh bagel, and that's a solid way to fuel up before work. Pick your bagel first, since it changes the whole sandwich. An everything bagel adds salt and crunch. A plain one lets the egg take the lead. Hungry? Go for something sturdy that won't fold.
French toast is on all day. Yep, all day. Craving it at 2 in the afternoon? Come get it. We also keep fresh pastries around for anyone who wants something sweet with their coffee, or something small to grab and go when you're running late for the train.
Speaking of coffee, we pour Counter Culture. It's smooth, it's strong, and it goes great with a warm bagel. We've got fresh juice too, if you'd rather skip the caffeine. Grab a cup, sit for a minute, or take it with you on the walk back toward Williamsburg.
