New York Bagel Baking Co

BEST BAGELS!!! Real New York bagels with a firm exterior, not like the squishy mess you get at most places. Fresh lox, and they have an amazing cream cheese with chunks of lox in it. There is almost always a line out the door on weekends for a good reason — this place is phenomenal!

You know a good place when there’s a line out the door. New York Bagel is constantly busy in the morning. They have the BEST cream cheese options (my favorite being the olive hot pepper) and their lox is to die for. A cup of coffee to go, a bagel, a side of cream cheese and a piece of lox is exactly what I need to get my mornings started!
Customer service is always good!

Not only were the bagels delicious but the workers knew what the ingredients that were in their bagels. When asked if my allergy could be accommodated they were friendly and nice. My allergy was not a problem and on top of it I was able to have any bagel I wanted except Parmesan (dairy allergy).
5 stars from Grand Rapids!

Fresh and delicious. Great assortment of cream cheese flavors, try the one with chives. Super friendly staff as well.

The staff is ALWAYS friendly. The owner is so kind and generous. Bagels are made fresh every part of the day. What more can I say? I love this place.

I’m not that big a morning bagel person but I came across this place many times. Whether eating at Stage Deli a few doors down or studying at Barnes and Nobles across the street.
But I have come to appreciate the bagels from this establishment. They’re fresh and well-​stocked throughout the day. Crisp exterior, chewy interior. My favorites are the egg and New Yorker bagel (onions on onions on onions).
But the best part is the lox and chive cream cheese. My personal favorite. But there are a handful of options, from sweet to savory.
And nice owners/​workers that are friendly.
Check this place out fa sho doe.

The bagels are good, although seldom hot. The smoked fish was expensive and soggy. Yuck.

I just finished my day-​old Everything bagel with Lox and Chives cream cheese, and I’m PISSED!
Why did I only buy two bagels? Why don’t I have a dozen more and a vat of that amazing, mind-​blowing cream cheese? Then I could send Ken on a very important errand so I could eat all of it?! Damn it! I’m Monday morning quarterbacking these bagels!
Bagel consistency is different from anything I’ve had in Michigan. Hard outside, firm, chewy inside. One bagel really will fill your belly. A lot of savory choices for me, but only blueberry and cinnamon swirl for Ken.
At least 10 cream cheese flavors, hand scooped for you and sold by the half pound. My current (and forever) love, lox and chives, was $ 3.50 for a half-​filled 8oz plastic deli tub. I licked the empty tub this morning, not gonna lie.
Small place. Most times, they’re packed. I’ve never seen an empty metal bin of bagels, so they keep up with the hungry masses. Love the folks behind the counter — they’re rushed, but friendly. This last time, 2pm on Saturday so relatively empty, they gave us a sample of their pressed sesame seed cake.
Love!

Favorite bagel joint on earth. They have 100 different styles And flavors and all are amazing.

Excellent bagels, tuna and cheese for a weekend. I seem to always want to pickup food here when I visit from Chicago. Good prices nice workers.

The BEST bagels in Michigan, without a doubt. I have friends all over the country who ask for bagels when I go to visit. And yes, it is a little hole in the wall on the Boardwalk in West Bloomfield, but that’s all the space they need. It’s a regular stop for me on most Sunday mornings, on my family to brunch (BRING THE BAGELS AND CREAM CHEESE… LOL). And whenever else I have the craving. Onion bagel with chive cheese, a little nova… YUMMMMM.\

These are the best bagels in Detroit. The salt bagels are my favorite, chewy not cake-​like, they are perfection. I’m not sure if this place is family owned but that is the feeling I get every time I go in. They are so friendly and familiar I always leave a little happier than when I came in.

I grew up in this area, and have eaten at New York Bagels for as long as I can remember. Its a tiny little bagel shop off Orchard Lake Road just on the other side of 15 mile.
I flew into Detroit this morning at 7AM, got my rental car, and this was the first stop that I made before going to my moms house. I wanted to surprise her with bagels and lox, since its her favorite item from this place. She was over the moon happy!
Its a little walk in bagel shop, with bagels made fresh daily. They make their own cream cheese, with a variety of different flavors, along with bagels, locks, whitefish, and a bunch of other delicious food that you order from the counter.
Despite the fact that its small, its full of local flavor. In a day and age of chain bagel shops, and family businesses going under, I’m glad to see that this place has thrived.
I picked up an order of lox, a garlic bagel for me, and an egg bagel for my mom. I showed up, food in hand at 8:30 this morning at my moms house, and she was thrilled!
As long as I’m in Michigan, weather its as a visitor or a full time resident, I will continue to be a regular customer of this place. Best bagels in town!

I am a native New York who has lived in Michigan for the last 15 years. For 12 of those years, I was sure that there were no bialies to be found in the state. Then one day Zingerman’s started baking them in their grand style. While good, they suffered from the same symptom of most Michigan bagel like products. Too fat! No subtlety.
Then I discovered New York Bagel Baking Co. It was like an enlightenment. Finally, I no longer had to fill my luggage returning back from New York with Billies from Kosars.
Think about; a nice toasted bialy with a bistle cream cheese, a few capers, and nice slice of nova. You want one now, don’t you?

Yum! I absolutely love New York bagels! That perfect chewy-​ness with the amazing hard crust can make any morning into a Good Morning! Keeping in line with the other NY Bagel places, this location churns out perfectly yummy and chewy bagels every glorious bagel-​loving day.
However, this location is a bit lacking in other regards. Sadly, they don’t have the half the juice selection or sandwich selection that Ferndale has. They also don’t have all the varieties of cream cheese ready to go. I had to ask to have a tub of salmon cream cheese to be packaged up on spot. Yet, staff here is cool and full of young’uns on the weekend mornings. So despite the few shortcomings, I’m still a huge fan of that circle of bagel-​y goodness… and so is my belly!

Best bagels in the Detroit area. It is our family’s Sunday morning tradition. If I am in town on a Sunday we make the trip every time. Love the egg bagels. These are true bagels not bready bagels from Panera and Einstein. Be prepared for the long lines on Sunday. Worth the wait and the lines move fast. They also have a selection of fresh cream cheese, lox, and other deli items.

There are two kinds of bagel: Jewish bagels, and those that wish they were Jewish bagels. The soft, doughy, fu-​fu type bagels sold by Einstein, Dunkin’ Donuts and Bruegger fall into the second category. The bagels sold by New York Bagel are the real thing — traditional varieties that are boiled and get a really nice hard crust. Definitely worth the wait in line on a Sunday morning.
