Line Bagels

Just off the G and F stop. The G is my favorite Subway btw. I know most people don’t like the G, but I do, just kind of feel bad for it.
Anyways, Line Bagels is quick with many breakfast lunch and dinner options. Tiss was the morning during my visit, so I had a bagel with coffee, just what I need and certainly hit the spot.

I ordered a chicken tamale, the chicken tacos, and a 20-​oz bottle of soda. My order came to $ 10.25 for a lunch that could easily have fed two people.
The tamale gets a B+. Satisfyingly greasy with a good amount of chicken.
The tacos geta B-​. The corn tortillas have good flavor and a nice chew, but the chicken is kind of sketchy and gristly, and the vegetable garnishes taste watery. Nice presentation with lots of sliced radishes and cilantro. The red and green salsa taste house-​made, but truth be told, they’re not that great.

Love this place, they have everything I want. The only thing is that they aren’t open when I get home and want dinner. The nicest people work here (although mama dukes is a bit slow, but who cares). Bagels are excellent, better than the park slope versions and I’m a native new yorker from the UWS. tacos are pretty darn tasty, salads are fresh and not skimpy, tamales are good and even chicken with rice and beans is good (although sometimes inconsistent).
Oh yeah, and they have smoothies.
Also, the staff is super fast so if you are headed to work you can be in-​and-​out without wasting any extra time.

This shop is at a super convenient location. Their bagels are freshly toasted and delicious. Service is fairly quick, order in the back and pay in the front, and run to the train/​bus.
I do find it amusing that on a few occasions when it was still called «F Line Bagels,» people would walk in, thinking that it’s the train station. I encountered quite a few pedestrians pointing to the shop and asking me, «Is this the F train?»

First let me say. The based on the positive reviews. I can say they are soooo true. Thank you Unilocalers.
I came to this place and I was welcomed with a wonderful greeting that encourage me to buy something there. I ordered the French vanilla muffin and. It taste exactly like the label. A+ for truth. Some place I go to saying they are the best and they are not. this place put words into action. So I give respect for that.
Seating. Got window seating.
Customer service. Is wonderful and awesome.
Price is affordable but quality is excellente.
People who is in Brooklyn or all the 5 Boros please stop here.
Can’t wait to try the bagels.
Kudos to kohen who works there. He is excellent soo far as customer service. Hope it keeps up.

Yes, the bagels and muffins are great. Sandiwiches and paninis are good, too!
BUT — did you know that the lovely Mexican staff will make KILLER tacos for you, too?
Order them. They come in threes. I tried the chicken and was so happy to taste authentic flavors in these parts of Brooklyn. The tacos are served on authentic corn tortillas, doubled, with lemon/​lime, radish cuts, chopped cilantro on top, and authentic salsas (the verde is good). Make the staff happy — order these and show your appreciation.
Edit: I have learned that the TAMALES are killer, too! Apparently, they make really brisk business on the tamales and the local American customers (not hispanic/​Mexican) love them! Who knew us gringos would catch on to killer tamales? Order these comfort foods from Line Bagels! Your tummy will thank you.

I work about 60 seconds away from here, and I eat here practically every day, sometimes more than once. The bagels are good, the staff is friendly, and they can make an egg sandwich in no time flat. The sandwiches are a bit more expensive than the regular delis across the street, but they have a wider variety of ingredients to put on. The salad bar for lunch time is decent. All in all, a solid spot to have a bite.

This is my work train stop so I stop in a few times a week. They make the old scholl bagels that are boiled before baking so you get that slightly chewy interior and they are not like the belly bombs most places make (Dunkins Im looking at you). I usually get an everything, toasted with butter. They dont overload it so you dont taste garlic in your mouth all day. They also make really good muffins. I am partial to the Cranberry one.
Had the Hot food but that was awhile ago when we had our office closer. I remember they made a pretty good burger and I had my first Tamale from here.

Great bagels and best in the area hands down. Breakfast sandwiches are really good but I suggest to extremely clear and listen to what the order taker tells the grill man. There’s a disconnect sometimes and I sometimes got something I didn’t order and was too late & at my apt to go back. Ie. egg whites instead of regular eggs. I learned the Spanish translation of the ingredients so there are no mistakes anymore… Still awesome.

Line Bagels, a small deli very conveniently located near the Smith & 9^th St. F and G stop, is not a cute or fancy café, but they serve a good bagel.
I got the everything whole wheat bagel with plain cream cheese and lox after my kickboxing class (Don’t judge! A girl needs her post-​workout protein and carb fix!) and was surprised at how cheap it was. $ 6 for slices of lox with your bagel! Yeah, I didn’t get it with scallion cream cheese or slices of red onion and capers, but I’d definitely give those up to pay $ 6 versus the $ 11 dollars I pay at most places to get real smoked salmon with my bagels.
Service is quick and polite and there are some places to sit at the bar by the window. If you’re in the area and craving a bagel, go for it!

That was a good bagel

After many frustrating experiences at the Bagel Café further up Smith Street, I am very glad to have discovered this place is so close to my apartment. Service here is quick, efficient and friendly… and the bagels are fantastic!

the bagels are meh
the checkout dudes are no where near even somewhat friendly
the selection of drinks and beer is good
the coffee is acceptable
the consistency of being a staple in the hood is great

Delicious Nova Lox bagel sandwiches and fantastic iced coffee! I was amazed at the wonderful full flavor of my iced french vanilla coffee. Great location and the staff is very friendly.

A fantastic wrap filled with veges and romano cheese– delicious.
The best was the fresh carrot and orange juice. Saw it made in front of me, with healthy looking fruits and veges and tastes delish! I asked for no sugar and no ice and it was so sweet even without them…
The warp was filling for 5.50. Lot of choices on menu, little confusing…

Unilocal! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND EVERYTHING HOLY! PLEASE MAKE IT AN OPTION TO GIVE ZERO STARS!!!
The food in this place needs to be inspected by the center for disease control ASAP! The food is inedible! Completely disgusting! My office ordered lunch from F Line Bagels today and I thought, eh, what the hell, I’ll give it a try (this is exactly why I rarely listen to my intuition!). I ordered the teriyaki chicken wrap or, what I refer to it as, raw sewage.
The wrap was the most DISGUSTING thing I’ve ever had in my life! I had a total of 3 bites, each made me believe less and less in God! Yup, it was THAT bad! The chicken and sauce literally tasted as if the person who made it poured salt on it for a good 30 minutes straight before dousing the thing with a pound of soy sauce. Hm, that’s weird, last time I checked, teriyaki sauce didn’t have the 18 lbs. of salt and some generic soy sauce as the main ingredients! The chicken alone tasted as if it were sitting on the stove for a few weeks and someone, me, just so happened to order it today right before they were about to donate it to science for mold experimentation. I know I may have said once or twice in my past reviews of other joints that that had been the worst food I’ve ever had but NOPE! This place definitely takes that shiny medal of disgusting, CDC needed food! Every bite was welcomed with 3 huge gulps of water. By the end of my TRYING to eat this wrap, I had killed 2 ½, 23-​ounce sports water bottles. Thank god we have those in this office or else I would have died of sheer dehydration due to all the disgusting salt!
I swear, I wish I were exaggerating on the sheer disgust I have for their food! My coworker ordered from this place last week, a burger and fries, and when it arrived, she opened her burger and… no meat! It was a bun that had nothing on it… nothing! It’s like they took a burger bun from the Schwebel’s bag and placed it nicely with the super soggy fries in the styrofoam container. Are you guys THAT lazy over there? Or did you think that a customer wouldn’t notice that a burger was missing everything? She called this place back after noticing this mistake and the conversation went a little something like this:
Coworker: Hi you guys just delivered to us and [interrupted]
F Line Douche Bag: yea yea yea, we’ll get you another burger.
Coworker: Oh, so you guys KNEW you just sent over a bun?
F Line DB: Yea, someone’s coming over in a few minutes. [hangs up the phone]
WTF is that??? If this were 7 years ago and we were being punk’d, even Ashton Kutcher would say «Not cool, bruh.»
Bottom line: If you crave the sensation and taste of raw sewage being doused all over your taste buds OR if you want food that isn’t complete delivered right to your front door, call F Line Bagels! They’ll make you doubt your religious beliefs and wish you were born without the sense of taste!

Best bagels in the neighbourhood. I recommend the signature bagel w/​feta cheese and olive oil (note: they are very generous w/​their olive oil so don’t get this if you don’t like oily goodness…) — everyone I’ve made try it has also loved it. They have this spice/​spread they put on that’s absolutely perfect — pepper, salt, some other things… I don’t know, but the end result is fantastic.
I’ve always had prompt, professional and friendly service here, and they’re cool w/​credit cards (there’s supposed to be a minimum, I believe, but they’ve waived it for me in the past), which is kind of unusual in this ‘hood.
They close pretty early, so don’t try to get dinner here (what, people don’t eat bagels for dinner? Weird…)

We need to correct the name of this establishment… It is only called LINE BAGEL, not F LINE BAGELS, which is what it use to be called…
I will tell you why… but first let me start by saying that I LOVE THEIR BaGELs, they are like no other!!! Any chance I get to eat them I will! If I could marry one I would!
The Previous owner (friend) first opened this business and decided to name it the «F Line Bagels» because the F train passes through there… it was great and business was kickin’ until the MTA had a HUGE problem with owner using their trademark without their authority…
So today the F Line Bagels stands as just the LINE BAGELS, yet still delicious, same great service, same great recipe and same great Bagels!
«…anyone who loves bagels, has a sense of humor, and believes that the MTA should run the subway system rather than prosecute bagel store owners.»
True story… Amazing Bagels eats!

The five stars are for the tamales, as I will probably never manage to order anything else. More specifically, they’re for the pork and chicken tamales*.
I’ve tried to order tacos the last couple times I went and failed. I gave it a try. I’ve given up.
It’s really about the amazing, amazing tamales, which are amazing. And large. They are large and amazing tamales.
*I tried the veg one once, but really, what’s the point? It’s there for those poor suckers who don’t understand how wonderful meat is. If I was to include the veg tamale in my star rating I’d probably subtract a star or two, as it was too moist and the masa tasted a little underdone. Or I could have just had a bad one. I’ll most likely never order another to compare.

The
Tacos
Are better
Than expected
But super slow and only comes in threes.
