Knapp Street Bagel Cafe

This place is absolute garbage. Previous owners were much better. Bagels are now hard and manager is rude. Take my business to bagel supreme on ave u in mill basin; they are very good.

Heard they had amazing iced coffee so instead of going to my usual 7 – 11 I tried there. The man at the counter was quite mechanical and I understand working In a busy place you just need to crank orders out so I ordered a ice coffee medium he obnoxiously says «small or large» with sugar putting sugar in a cold drink is useless! It doesn’t melt so I asked if more sugar can be put in hot coffee to melt it his response «NO» «we don’t do that»! I understand if your busy but they weren’t and well I think that’s horrible customer service I wasn’t asking for a rabbit to be pulled from a hat but for 2 teaspoons of hot coffee to be added to sugar to melt it. It’s the simple things and it’s called customer service! I’ll never be back!

The worst. You walk in at 11am and there are no bagels. They promise you seven minutes. Then when seven minutes go by they say another 10 minutes. This is not the first time this has happened… it is not an isolated event. They did nothing to compensate me for my wasted time. Do not go there ever

Great prices
Quick service
Yummy Ice coffee
They don’t cut corners and make sure customers are served right.
Overall great place to get breakfast :)

This is a great little authentic Brooklyn bagels shop, I’ve known this spot for years. A while ago New York Times food section mentioned their «Ham, Egg, and Swiss on an Everything Bagel» as one of the best in Brooklyn! The newspaper page was proudly taped to that support column in the middle of a store, but eventually disappeared. They should have framed it! When the door to the kitchen is open, you can actually see how they boil the bagels, I think that’s pretty cool. They earned my 5 stars!

This place is always hit or miss but over the past year has been a lot more miss. It is the closest place to my house but from now on I will go somewhere else. They have become very skimpy with their sandwiches depending on who makes it and half the time they get the order wrong. I don’t know if this is management telling them to give less charge more but either way I am done. If Management reads this either you need to train your staff better or watch them more, you need consistency with your products. I don’t know if your Business is down but I would assume so because I rarely have to wait on line anymore. It used to be a good place but not anymore.

I liked the bagel a lot best light tuna that I have tasted … One thing I wasn t to fond of the guy in the front, seemed to be talking down to me, didn t like his attitude at all … Am going to have to say something a few people may not like ! I think by reading a lot of the reviews, people seem to like the bagels but not the staff… am going to assume it’s bc the owner is paying a low salary bc it shows in the people he or she is hiring ! When u pay low wages it shows in your employees ! I blame the owner !

I love this place, my usual go to spot for delicious breakfast. Five stars all the way. However, I am giving this 1 star today because the service received today was horrible. Usually the service is great with no complaints. But today, a young Russian lady was behind the register, in her mid-​20s. When she finished taking my order, she said «You were speaking so low, I could barely hear you. Did you say to order so and so?» I said «Yes» Well, obviously you heard me, so I wasn’t speaking so low. «But I was reading your lips to understand you,» she said. Worst. Customer. Service. Ever!!! Whoever owns this joint should fire her immediately to cut their losses. At the rate she is going, more loyal customers like myself are going to go somewhere else for their morning feasts. And this place will go out of business eventually as a result of this horrible excuse called service. Cut your losses NOW!!!

Terrible Service yesterday!!! I was in here yesterday morning standing on line for at least 15 minutes. At one point all the counter help disappeared into the kitchen for at least 5 minutes. The girl who usually is at the counter was in the kitchen with her boyfriend.
The bagels are great but the service is terrible. I don’t care if you’re a bagel shop or a bike shop but a staff member should be visible at all times.
People stop in for breakfast in the morning on the way to work & don’t have 15 – 20 minutes to wait for bagels.
Get it together guys!

Not the best lox, but pretty good.

This place has their crowd of loyal fans!
They’re bagels are pretty good.
It’s in a awkward place, in that little triangle, it could be hard to park most of the time.
The staff is nice, but they could seem a little rude if you’re taking too much time to think of what you want or talk slowly or what ever it may be.
They make very nice spreads that I like also.

The bagels here are great. Lets not forget it’s a bagel shop. They do that well. Their counter service though is poor, and classless. This is the only reason for the one star and it’s at one employee. This sucks for a small bussiness. I went in there the other day and the staff was taking about how customers want their bagels and sandwiches all different ways. (who cares?) This all being said in front of customers. I said to them it’s like at Starbucks how people want thier Lattes made up in crazy ways. I expected a laugh in similarity. What was said to me in response was well anyone who orders a latte you know is a fag, only fags… you know gay people order lattes. With his look of disgust and distain. This infront of customers who were a bit surprised by his comments. The employee is the profusely sweaty, gross, backwards hat wearing, sloppy, white guy that works there. Not the nice polite Spanish guys or ladies that work there.
It’s sad but at least he shows his colors upfront and does not care about expressing it.
I love the bagels and I will be back, I do not wish people to stop going here the bagels are great.
Good help is so hard to find. Just know this is the face of your bussiness. The front counter.

They just had a price increase. Bagel with cream cheese, $ 2.25, Starburst (which I have been buying there for a long time until I stopped going here, $ 1.50, 20 oz Coke $ 2.00, & a bagel with sausage eggs & cheese $ 5.50. I can get cheaper in the city!!! Sorry, I will never go back now. Bye Bye Bye

What’s up with the cashier? Does her Dad own the place? She is no help & today she went into the bathroom with a guy that was hanging out talking to her. Wow

So I’ve lived one block away from this place for nearly five years and never tried it until today. I am apparently a moron. In my defense, it doesn’t look like much from the outside and I spend most of my time in Manhattan or the Bronx. Anyway, I got home starving and craving a bagel so I decided I would finally walk over and check this place out. Mind you, I was completely unaware of the Unilocal/​NYT ratings, I was just hungry and too lazy to drive somewhere.
I ordered a toasted everything bagel with cream cheese, my standard order and quintessential bagel treat. While the guy was toasting my bagel, I happened to notice the pastry/​baked goods case (at which point my eyes nearly popped out of me head). After drooling over everything, I asked for a red and green (the seasonal version of the black and white). My order came to a total of $ 6 for a bagel with cream cheese, a gigantic cookie, and a bottle of OJ. Pretty reasonable.
I started on the cookie while waiting for my bagel and it was everything a black and white should be — fresh, moist, cakey, delicious. The bagel was decadent, too. It has a nice crisp shell that gave way easily to reveal a tender, flavorful interior. The schmear-​to-​bagel ratio was spot on.
I will now be a regular at this place; next time I’ll try the famed egg and cheese on a bagel.
If you happen to be on this area, I strongly suggest checking this place out. You won’t be disappointed.

The food at Knapp Street Bagel Café is always so good, and so satisfying. I find it hard to believe there is a better egg and cheese bagel in Brooklyn, or anywhere for that matter. I go out of my way to come to this place, and would recommend for everyone to do the same. I can’t comment on the delivery though, since I have always gone there via walking. Although, I do still kind of wish there were prices listed for many menu items somewhere inside. I never really know how much I will be paying for my order. But, not that it really matters, since the bagels are so good in the morning that the price is irrelevant. Bottom line, this place is so good that I created a Unilocal account just to review it. Do yourself a favor, go here and order an egg and cheese on an everything bagel. You won’t be, and you will come back again.

Once upon a time on a Saturday morning a mother and daughter ran errands and were absolutely famished. We hungrily crawled into Knapp Street Bagel Café and ordered two everything flagels (the most delicious flat and easy to eat bagels!) with lox, cream cheese, tomatoes, onion and an extra dash of pepper. We paired them with their most amazingly deliciously spectacular Chocolate Crumb iced coffee! I am telling you nothing beats this specific coffee! After we paid we went to sit in their inside sits to enjoy our food and literally finished every bite! The flagel was still warm and very fresh, had the right amount of everything seasoning and the lox was so yummy!
Everyone sticks to Dunkin Donuts or Bagel Boy/​Bob in Brooklyn but nothing beats the helpfulness and friendliness of a family owned bagel café! The food is absolutely delicious!
The café has a variety of cold cuts, bagels, flagels, cookies, bakery goods, cupcakes, juices, coffee and other sandwiches.
Plus if you are lucky, buy a lotto ticket maybe you will be the third winner of Knapp Street Bagel!
They also deliver! Check out the pictures of their bagel basket, cream cheese spreads and yummy bagel wheel! And yes that is one extra large bagel! hehe

I don’t eat much bread these days, but occasionally I give in to temptation and order a garlic bagel with cream cheese. Terrific.
On Wednesdays, if you buy a dozen bagels, you get six free. Pretty good deal.
Place is clean and service is good. Very busy in the morning, so a little crowded.

Hectic bagel store in Sheepshead Bay, they REALLY want you to move along here!
Pushy is the proper term, but definitely not rude in my expereinces. Their bagels are pretty good, most are chewy inside and a bit crispy on top which is what most people look for. My favorite is the egg bagel here (as it is in most places for me) but the everything is just as good if not better.
The store is a decent size on a short block in a weird intersection, smack in the middle of a strip-​mall type setup. They have a couple of old tables inside if you wish to stay but it’s not very inviting. They also deliver which is a major plus!
Lots of food options here with all the different types of cream cheeses for the bagels along with chicken and tuna salad and all the cold cuts you love. Egg sandwiches on a bagel are very good here! Never tried the bacon, though, but will attempt to next time.
No real problems with this place other than their pushy nature.

Bagels are light and soft, not lead weights, but hold up well with whatever toppings you like.
Clean area. Deli meats/​cheeses always sliced well.
BUT:
–One guy always has a pissed off attitude, and has insulted indecisive customers. «Thanks for nothing» –an actual quote.
–Another always tries to get around toasting my bagel by claiming they are hot and fresh. I have to watch his movements, making sure he doesn’t try to pull a fast one (he did it the first time I asked and I called him out on it).
–Another charged a different price than what was posted right above his head.
So what good is the first part, if the second part gives you agita? Unfortunately I choose to spare myself the drama.
