Reviews for Riverwalk Bagel in Oswego, NY
Really enjoyed my breakfast here today. I had a breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese, and bacon on an absolutely delicious bacon... and cheddar bagel. I also had blueberry cream cheese on a cinnamon and sugar bagel. Incredible! The staff was friendly andwelcoming. Will be back! Read more
The service at these places in town just isn?t good, mostly. There are some good servers and workers, but they are few and far... between. These people were unprofessional, uncaring, and they think you have to be courteous and kind and have ZERO expectationseven though you?re the one PAYING them to work. I had to hear about co worker drama while one of the employees was taking 45seconds to butter one half of a bagel. He kept pausing to talk. I wanted to go behind the counter and say, ?I?ll do it, thebagel is getting colder and colder by the second.? So, I will not take my kids there again. No big deal. Read more
Hmm - $1.65 for a bagel with your favorite toppings. That's $19.80 a dozen. Want a dozen, plain to go? Still $19.80. NYC style... bagels with NYC prices. Hit the Oswego Bagelry for better bagels, sandwiches and prices. Read more
New bagel joint in the Riverwalk building in downtown Oswego. Ordered two bagels. First, a non-toasted Salt bagel with Jalapeño... Cheddar cream cheese. Second, a toasted Everything bagel with regular cream cheese. Both bagels were delicious, however, thesize differential between the two was huge. The Jalapeño Cheddar cream cheese was hot ????. Definitely didn't disappoint in theflavor or heat departments. Daughter says it was the best bagel she's ever had. Friendly service, but slow. Will absolutelyreturn. Probably over & over.

Edit on November 8, 2021: Thanks for adding hummus to the menu as a spread option! I was dismayed, however, to see that a... bagel with hummus or avocado spread costs $7.00. When the price of a single bagel is $1.50, this $5.50 upcharge feels likeabsolute robbery. I could buy four avocados at the store or a tub of hummus at the grocery store for less than than upcharge. I don't think it's right that there is such a significant price difference between these two spreads and the cream cheeses youoffer. Thus, I'm amending my review to four stars. I stand by what I said about the quality of the bagels, but the fact thatnon-dairy consumers have to pay so much extra at your shop for a spread is just sad to me. FINALLY!! There is FINALLY a bagelshop in Upstate New York that is worthy. I grew up in the NYC metro area, and as a result, I am fairly particular when it comesto bagels. No place that sells bagels in Upstate New York has come close to replicating what I would declare to be a "real"bagel. But, Riverwalk Bagels has their recipe right. The consistency of their bagels is spot-on. They definitely areNYC-style in terms of the internal texture and the external crust. The staff is friendly and the space is welcoming andclean. A few suggestions: -While the texture is spot-on, the size of the bagels is smaller than true NYC-style bagels. -Ithink that the Everything Bagel seasoning could benefit from some additional salt, garlic, and poppy seeds. However, theaddition of black sesame seeds is great. -As someone who does not consume dairy, I love that there is a marked Non-Dairy spreadoption on the menu. I would suggest more than one; hummus would be a great addition. Overall, a great place and I am SO PUMPEDthat it's here!! I live in Baldwinsville and will be making the drive. Read more
I was so excited for Oswego to get what looks like a real bagel shop however all I have been is extremely disappointed. The... first time I came in I was full of promise only to be let down. I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese poorly cut and thecream cheese to be spread like butter not even enough to cover the bagel. I thought with the reviews being great maybe it wasjust a rough day so I let it go and gave it a second chance but yet again the same thing happened and I even asked for extracream cheese. I didn?t want to make a fuss in the store as it was getting busy and the production of the bagels was alreadyincredibly slow and the workers looked stressed. I?m not upset with the workers because clearly they weren?t trained enough tomake a proper bagel. This is a management issue. So I thought I would display my lower quality bagel than Dunkin? Donuts and endthe photos with how a bagel should look like and how much cream cheese real bagel should have. Read more
Moved here from NYC and have been craving a "real" bagel ever since. This place hits the spot! It's clear they've done their... homework: bagels have a crackly, bubbled exterior and a chewy, tender interior -- no fluffy monotextured nonsense. Service isprompt and friendly, and they have online ordering. Interior is bright, clean, and modern. Seating area is thoughtful: goodlighting, lots of tables with power outlets, and a booster seat available. Welcome to Oswego, Riverwalk Bagel -- we're so gladyou're here, and we'll be back! Read more
I grabbed a breakfast sandwich from here this morning..the bagel was increadibly chewy, the egg looked weird and beaten to... smitherines..and there were at least like 4 pieces of bacon on it(wich is WAY too much..I only need like 2!), it was allsmooshed on ONE side of the sandwich, and the bacon wasn't cooked enough either..the store was not even busy!!! My firstexperience here, and it sucked... Read more
