Reviews for Black Seed Bagels in New York, NY

We loved our bagels. Didn't expect them to be good since it's inside Rockefeller center.

Good bagels! Friendly service and DRIP COFFEE = a must! (Not pictured!) regret getting a small size!

I was craving for bagels during my trip to NY and actually a New Yorker was the one who told be about this little place inside... of the Rockefeller center, without him I would?ve never arrive. The bagels were good, I had the egg and cheddar. The coffee isnot worth it, also there is no seating inside, so basically is only to go. Tip: buy the bagel and go upstairs to the Rockefellercenter, there are lots of seating and it?s much nicer than eating underground. Read more

Super famous bagel place that you must visit if you are in NYC! Super delicious bagel sandwiches.

Very highly recommend. We three tried the plain bagel with cream cheese, the salted bagel with cream cheese and salmon, and the... multigrain bagel with cream cheese. They were each excellent. Read more

Went to NYC a couple of weeks ago, stumbled on Black Seed Bagels, grabbed a couple (salmon classic of course). They were... probably the best we have ever had. Woke up this morning 250 miles away. Craving more and scheming our next trip? Read more

This is actually the worst bagel in NYC. Literally the delis around every corner had better bagels. If you?re a tourist go to... Essa Bagel or Russ & Daughters for something iconic! If you?re local literally go anywhere else. To be specific, super dense andflat bagels, everything seasoning has no flavor, barely any cream cheese, lox is stringy Read more

It was ok at best. The service was great but when your in NY the expectations for bagels are pretty high considering there are... so many amazing bakeries with them. I found the ones at black seed to be very small in comparison and incredibly doughy/ dense.I got lox and dill cream cheese with mine which sounded amazing but again fell short on overall flavor. Seems when cutting allof the cream cheese fell out into the wrapping as well so really gave a lack luster taste on my first bite. Really too bad Iheard such great things! Read more
