Tasty Bagels

Fresh fresh fresh bagels made in house and they never mess up breakfast orders ;) there the best in area

We order a big bagel wheel sandwich for New Year’s Eve. It was ready on time and it was made well. It came with pickles, coleslaw, macaroni and potato salad. It was enough for about 12 of us with leftovers. It also looked cute and was very happy with the sandwich.

Best bagels in town. My fav is lox with scallion cream cheese on toasted onion bagel. Bagel sandwiches are good too.

For the last 10 yrs we have lived in this neighborhood, we love going here. Great bagles and incredible service. Chris knows almost every customer who comes in, the rest of the staff there are awesome !!!

Best bagels in Brooklyn. Hands down used to come here before going to school, grab breakfast and class. Now I come here before work almost on a weekly basis.
The lines may get long at times but that’s cause the food is that good.

Definitely brings back memories of when I woud come here after middle school and grab a toasted bagel with cream cheese and bacon. Once your order is taken, it doesn’t take long for the food to be prepared and you can even watch your bagel being toasted and prepared right at the counter. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of the food. I tried some flan that they had in the fridge but it wasn’t as tasty as other flans that I have tasted before. The muffin tops are really good and I’m glad that they are able to make their own bagels everyday. Haven’t been here in years but I will definitely be back to grab some breakfast soon!

I was visiting from SF staying at my brother’s place nearby and he suggested I try some of Brooklyn’s famous bagels. Walked in and loved the mom/​pop vibe! The lady, who I’d assume to be the restaurant owner, was very sweet and I felt comfortable despite my noobiness at New York Bagel ordering.
I got the eggs and bacon breakfast bagel and it was delicious. If I had to complain the ketchup was a bit much but aside from that, the bagel itself was soft yet crusty (?) and was just unlike any bagel I have had in SF.
If I lived around here, this would probably be my go-​to breakfast spot (but then again this is the only breakfast spot I’d been to). If you’re visiting New York and don’t want to go to some expensive «Best New York Bagel In New York!» place, try this!

Great bagels (always fresh) and food. My only complaint is they do not take debit or credit. I think that’s a little inconvenient for the customer and really should be accepted.

Seriously guys! This s NY and you gotta be fast! I live close to this place but because of their incredibly slow service I don’t stop a lot. Tell them what u want clearly otherwise they put ketchup in bagel!

Me: «Toasted everything with scallion cream cheese, please.»
Italian Dude: «Sure. You want tomato on that?»
Me: …*Squints*
************************
Yo I got a tomato on that. «How about salt and pepper?» I got some salt and pepper on that. And my new favorite bagel creation was born.
My brother frequented Tasty Bagels since childhood, and when craving «REAL» breakfast (oh, NYC) it’s his (and now, my) go-​to. The best in the neighborhood.
Their breakfast sandwiches does depend on who makes them, I’ll admit — so far the tastiest bacon egg and cheeses are made by Italian Dude.

Their bagels are definitely banging, especially with all of the cream cheese selections.
And their well known muffin tops are really great!
They are a little pricier for a bagel store than most Bensonhurst delis.
Sometimes they have a table or two outside where you can sit.

Fresh bagels and hot coffee always hit the spot in the morning the veggie cream cheese always has a lot of veggies

My wife and I love this place. The food is always great. We’ve had some standard breakfast sandwiches like bacon, egg & cheese, some unique knishes like their broccoli and cheddar knishes and awesome rice balls. We’ve come to get their antipasto salad once a week since we moved to Bensonhurst. On top of having delicious food, the staff is pretty friendly as well. This place caters as well.

Joined the early stream of customers at 6am, great bagels with a soft chewy and not too dense interior and a crunchy exterior (especially after a nice toasting).

My stomach rumbled as I strolled the streets at 6:00 AM — ravenous from not eating much the night before. Cue Tasty Bagels beckoning to my rumbling tummy: «Fresh bagels! Coffee!»
I walked in to no crowd and a few guys working behind the counter. I couldn’t find a description for the types of bagels they had so I asked them directly if they had blueberry with low-​fat cream cheese (my fave). Thankfully, they did and began to prep my breakfast immediately after I ordered.
My eyes wandered briefly as I waited and stopped when I saw a man working on bagels and preparing them. The ravenous appetite began to dwindle as I watched him drag what looked like soggy bagels through water and slap them down flat. It was not a visually-​appealing process by any means.
I began sipping away on the coffee after I paid (total was less than $ 3 for a coffee and bagel w cream cheese) and found they put way too much sugar for that small cup; not to mention, it was also warm and not hot which meant it had been sitting out. Other than that, it was a nice brew and I did enjoy the taste.
I broke off a piece of the bagel and I was very pleasantly surprised at how good of a bagel it was. I could feel a springyness in each bite that I simply haven’t tasted in a bagel before. Taste was not lacking either … This is probably the result of the dragging through water and palm-​slapping mentioned earlier. Keep that up if it’s going to taste like this!
A hot cup of coffee is my only requested change for my return visit.

My girlfriend from the Bronx has to stop by here anytime she is in my neighborhood for an everything bagel with cream cheese and jelly and an ice coffee. This 86^st bagel institution has stood the test of time for quite a few years, when the 13^th avenue bagel shops started to suck and/​or close, and the one on New Utrecht overcharging for not great bagels, Tasty is still the hands down number one option in the area.

You hear a lot how Brooklyn sets the standard of bagel making through
their rich history of the bagel making process. I came here based on
the few but stellar Unilocal reviews from the locals in the area. I
consider myself a bagel connoisseur so I know a little bit of what I’m
talking about. Check out my bagel reviews. After eating here it’s clear
that this place is surviving on rep rather than quality.
This is one of those typical, hole-​in-​the-​wall bagel establishments that
claims to have a long legacy of bagel making. I walked in here to
Mexican synthesizer music playing and workers that barely spoke
English. Not a problem, but not a group known for their bagel making
skills. Wasn’t surprised to see a couple Latin restaurants and taco
shops on the block.
Now that I’ve set the scene, on to the actual bagels themselves.
Nowhere are the types of bagels listed. You just have to know. They
aren’t even in plain view. They are behind the counter, behind the
worker activity. As far as «assortment of cream cheeses» go: they had
three specialty cream cheeses. That’s it.
I ordered and everything bagel with jalapeño cheddar cream cheese. It
was good but nothing that these amazing reviews made it out to be.
Usually when you get to a bagel place early, you are garanteed a bagel
that is hot and newly made. I came in a 630am and the bagel was cold.
Hard to believe.
They must be doing something right because the local brooklynites were
lining up for these bagels. It is believed that the reason why NYC
bagels are so good is because of the water. In this case, it is the
drinking water because there has to be something in it that makes all
the locals think that this is a really great bagel place when it’s
just average at best.

They weren’t kidding when they named their store Tasty bagels. My bf and I decided to come here for some coffee and bagel. Thanks to good reviews in Unilocal,we came here and we were not disappointed. Today was the first time I came here and I am proud to say that I will be coming back for more. The coffee was delicious too, just the way I like it light no sugar. Sometimes, in other stores even when I ask for light they make my coffee dark, but not here!
Also, the service was fast and the worker who took our order was friendly.
We got a plain toasted bagel with jelly, it was great!

What I love about this place is that everything they carry is spot on, unlike a lot of places with great bagels but horrible heroes or great pastries but terrible bagels, etc. The bagels are great; large, doughy not dry, ample amounts of toppings without going overboard. The pastries are also great; they carry a variety of muffin tops and really good homemade coffee crumb cake as well as the other usual’s.
The Peter Luger sandwich is just amazing. They use fresh mozzarella of course but that’s a given for this area. The tuna salad is great. Their grilled chicken sandwiches and cutlets are a little bland but at least they aren’t overcooked or greasy. They have a really large variety of bottled drinks to choose from.
Best of all, they are really nice and while it can get crowded in there, they take their time with each order.

So, I’m sitting at my desk when an email pops up from a coworker. The subject line: sandwiches
He said there were extra sandwiches left over from a training session.
I said I had just finished my lunch.
He said «But they’re from Tasty Bagel in BK»
So, not knowing anything about Tasty Bagel, I went downstairs. I grabbed an Italian slice and headed back to my desk with the intention of bringing my sandwich home for dinner. It didn’t last. The roll loaded with toppings (ham, swiss, turkey, provolone & mozzarella) looked so good I had to take a bite. And, as you may have guessed, 5 minutes later the sandwich slice was gone. And it was good. Really really good. The bread? Fresh & so soft. The meats & cheeses? Sliced & combined perfectly. Will I visit next time I’m in Bensonhurst? Absolutely.
