P & C Bagels

Every time I go in to this place the line is long and the service is really lacking. I just ordered a Bialy with chunky lox cream cheese and ass I’m eating It I notice something tastes off. I look down and there’s mustard all over the wrapping! On the inside!
This place really needs to get it together, every time I go in there’s something off about my order. In the past Ive have issues with they’re cold cuts not being fresh. This is the last time, I will not be returning because they clearly do not keep they’re utensils and countertop clean. I don’t understand how they received and A on their inspection. If there was any other bagel place in middle village they’d be out of business.

Let me start off with I’m pretty regular and I would definitely give this place 5 stars for the taste of the food and me only coming back for the food but… It’s extremely pointless to advertise breakfast all day on the window because when I went inside to get a sandwich, an older lady yelled at me for asking for eggs today!!! How rude !!! And she slammed my change on the counter rather than handing it to me in my hand!!! She doesn’t even know how to make a decent cup of coffee. I had to ask to redo it and I got it done perfectly by one of the girls. However, the other two girls that work here were extremely helpful and memorized my big order very quickly and precisely. Coming back here I will only deal with them instead of the nasty rude woman who doesn’t know any kind of customer service. Do not bother with the woman you see working here. Nasty attitude and you can tell from the moment you step in here.

Best bagel shop in middle village hands down. I remember one time mayor Bloomberg rated bagel oasis number 1 in queens and I laughed so hard thinking their food and bagels suck and they are always burnt the bagels. P&C bagel have the biggest softest hottest bagels in town. When you go early morning like 8 the bagels are steaming hot and glob on what looks like a pound of cream cheese and the first bite you take you see the cream cheese melting and steam coming out. They have other breakfast choices like bacon egg and cheese or muffins, toast, eggs, hash browns and breakfast potatoes. Their bacon egg and cheese is so big and packed with a lot of bacon and eggs that when you eat it your jaw hurts. If your in the area try the bagels at P&C.

The two young ladies are always in such good energy every morning. They appear to work well as a team and my toasted egg bagel with egg whites and American cheese is always prepared perfectly… I am a new and already loyal customer.

Poor Service — Staff has bad attitude. They actually yelled @ a guy for coming in, in the afternoon; He asked for an egg sandwich and they told him that they wouldn’t do it again. Staff seemed more interested in texting on their phones. Disappointed — Last time I had been there, the bagels were excellent — now little taste. They didn’t even bother to butter both sides of the bagel. Would not go back again. Avoid! :-(

One of my favorite morning stops! They have the best bagels in queens! The bagels are so fresh, and most of the time still warm from the oven. I love that they have iced coffee year round because it’s never to cold for that! The staff is extremely friendly, especially to their rude morning customers who are half asleep! Working in the service industry and keeping a smile is hard so I commend their service! So grateful for this neighborhood gem!

Bagels are very good and better than most around Queens. Staff is rude, slow and suffer from a lack of people skills.

Go there everyday, bagels are great, and Zolla and the workers are very nice, always very helpful

The bagels are pretty good, and the coffee fresh. But, it is not worth dealing with the nasty women working there. There is one nice guy that has a good attitude and is pretty funny. But the woman who actually rings you up is one of the rudest, most miserable people I have ever encountered in a customer service situation. I used to stop here pretty often on my way to work, but the fact that they do not care about moving the line and do not even allow the employee that makes your coffee to ring you up makes the line longer then it ever should be. i happened to go there last week on a day that I was off. As usual, the cashier/​supervisor woman (who does nothing except operate the register) acted as if she was annoyed that I was there, gave me the wrong bagels, and snapped at me because I asked to use the bathroom. Even Dunkin’ Donuts allows people to use the restroom when they are paying customers. And cash only? even when I spend $ 30 on bagels for the office? Get with it. The only reason this place is still in business is because there are no other bagel stores anywhere near it.

Business must have changed hands or something. Damn shame they didn’t keep someone legacy onboard until they figured out how to make a bagel on their own.

I love the bagels here. What I don’t love is the girl behind the counters attitude. Anytime you order something she will roll her eyes at you. I didn’t realize ordering a bagel with cream cheese at a bagel shop was such a absurd request… lol. Other than that they do have good bagels.

Walked by this bagel shop, decided to purchase a plain bagel with cream cheese. Pretty early in the morning (10:10 am) so I expected a fresh bagel. The bagel was really hard. Not impressed. Service is ok, wanted to get people rung up in the register as quickly as possible.

Bagels are fresh & delicious (probably one of the best in Queens, NY), and even better when they make your bagels exactly how you want it. Coffee is pretty food.
One big issue, though, I have w/​them is that the workers who take your orders don’t greet you kindly, no people skills (especially, being that we are regulars and everyone knows us there), have the worse listening skills, & don’t pay attention to the simple details, and when you ask for something or add on to your order, after already giving your order, they have an attitude, because I guess you’re not allowed make changes, even though we give our orders a little at time, because like I said, they have the worst listening skills. They only have one nice guy there who is friendly and gets our order right all the time, also remembers for the next time. Unfortunately, he has some recent health issues, but hopefully, he’ll be back soon. We miss him!
On top of all that, they don’t use common sense such as to figure what proper utensils to put in your bag according to what you order is, unless asked for and when asked for, again, they have an attitude (I guess maybe they eat their scramble eggs, and their fruit cup with their hands and expect everyone to do the same).
Really, the only real reason I continue to come here is b/​c they really do have the best bagels in the area. Maybe they know that, and feel like it’s okay to be rude, because their regulars still come there. (I’m guilty for that too). However, it doesn’t mean it’s not a turn off.

This place is a disaster. Went here last weekend with my boyfriend on a not so busy weekday morning. Was greeted by the owner/​manager yelling at and disrespecting his employes. He then spoke very rudely to my boyfriend and made him feel very unwelcome. Plus, we only ordered two bagels and they were both burnt and had a solid inch of cream cheese on both

See my tip! Love these bagels!!! My son and I like the whole wheat minis with veggie cream cheese! The Flagels are fun too!
We get our milk and juices there as well.

If there is a better bagel in NYC I have yet to find it. Every weekend I drive a mile from my home to get them.
The bagels here are made the way bagels should be. Boiled then baked resulting in a crusty outside and a soft chewy inside. I favor their «everything» bagel.
On the weekend they get very busy so be prepared to wait. They also have a very small crowded parking lot and finding parking can be an issue. But it’s worth it, the bagels are that good.
My suggestion to the owners is that on the weekends dedicate one counter person to selling bagels only while the other staff makes the sandwiches. A bagels only line will speed things up, just my opinion, I could be wrong.
But these are the BEST bagels in the area, give them a try.

I love this place but for me and my family this is a danger zone.
First off, I need to come in here alone, because I cannot control anyone else that comes in with me to buy ‘extras’. There is ALWAYS a line. They have every bagel under the sun from Sugar Free to Garlic Salt. When you do get a dozen, you get a giant white bag filled with a Bakers dozen full of bagels. They are so good, they are seriously satisfying. Although, I have never seen anyone just eat one. I do splurge and get the pound of Smoked Salmon ($ 24.99) and pair it with the Sundried Tomato Cream Cheese. ($ 6.99/Med.)
Then there is the; «Ohh crumb cake», and the; «Ohh, Carrot Cake» and sometimes, there is the; «Wow, I need a Brownie, and a YooHoo so I can have it on the way home» feelings. I’ve heard regulars say on the line to each other, including me; «I know I should have Food Remorse, but when I come here, I just don’t give a s***.»
So Ladies and Gents’, if you are asking me; «Hey uhh, is this place any good?» I’d respond; ‘Well my bi-​weekly bill there is around $ 50.00 to $ 60.00, and never goes to waste So heck yeah, it’s worth it!
**Bonuses; The staff is friendly! (The uhh, frumpy Mr. Clean looking guy has his moments, but you’ll live) There is a parking lot! But don’t get angry if you parked in a legit space and there are three cars blocking you on Sunday morning after church. Short wait! No matter how long the line is, (its been way out the door at times, in dead winter) I’ve never waited no longer than 15 minutes. –Ever.
*~:-*TIP*-:~* = On the weekends, COME EARLY! if you refuse to wait, and I mean like.. . breaking-​dawn-​you-​got-​up-​to-​pee/​walk the dog-​early.
Happy Bagel-​ing!

I am here at least once a week for years now, I can’t believe I haven’t written a review about them yet.
Some of the best bagels in NYC can be found right on Metropolitan Avenue in Queens, NY. In fact, I’m so spoiled for the bagels here that I will make a special trip from Brooklyn for them. They also make their own cream cheeses.
My staple is an Everything with Veggie Cream Cheese for sure, and then I usually always get a side of bacon, really, really good bacon, you guys and if I am super hungry I will also get the eggs and hashbrowns. I’m not keen on the hashbrowns, but my boyfriend likes them a lot so they are probably good, it’s just me.
Two people can easily split the eggs, bacon and hashbrowns if they each get a bagel. My boyfriend and I do that a lot!

My friend was driving me to JFK and I needed one more bagel before I departed from New York. Luckily, this place was open at 5am.
The friendly man and possibly his wife took our order. They were super sweet and personable. The guy cut into my everything bagel and hot steam came out– now that’s what I call fresh! He applied a generous amount of cream cheese and carefully added the lox, lettuce, and tomato.
Most place usually slap things on top of a bagel, but this guy understands «the art and beauty» of a bagel with cream cheese and lox!
I only wish I had more room in my luggage so I can bring some back to Hawaii with me!

Definitely the preferred bagel spot in the surrounding neighborhoods. (Kew Gardens, Forest Hills, Rego Park, Middle Village).
Easy access parking lot that can be at times a cluster – you know what. Street parking is always available, so I recommend that parking approach.
The bagel itself is perhaps a little larger in size than many other local bagel locations, which is not necessarily a good thing as they tend to be more doughy. Limiting me to only one bagel is also a minus.
Excellent crispness, all varieties have a heaping portion of the flavoring fixed to the outer layer of the bagel. The eggs, bacon and sausage that is only served during breakfast hours are wonderful. Creamy eggs and quality bacon will take your bagel of choice in a new direction to a flavorful and completely satisfying breakfast sandwich satisfaction.
The lunch salads (egg, tuna, chicken) are equally comparable to the breakfast offerings in terms of quality and quantity. If you happen to miss the breakfast, try an egg salad bagel, lightly toasted (on an everything bagel) I try to get to P&C at least once a week for their bagels. My only carbohydrate vice I can not and will not deprive myself of.
Coffee and tea is served up scolding hot without the sleeves, so be careful and grip your beverage with a few napkins.
