Best-selling items include the Greek yogurt parfait with seasonal fruit and the signature Bagel on the Avenue sandwich with fresh lox, cream cheese, tomato, green, leafy lettuce, capers and a Bermuda onion.

Another really awesome bagel sandwich, good any time of the day, is the Wake Up, which contains three egg whites, pepper jack cheese, spinach and grilled chicken.

The old-school Greek bagel is drizzled with imported olive oil, oregano, salt, pepper and a splash of lemon juice. Their heavenly match creation pairs slices of crispy bacon with a schmeer of cream cheese.

At Brooklyn Bagel and Coffee Company they make their bagels with your health in mind. Sure, their bagels taste good, but they are better for you, as well.

BrooklynBageAndCoffee Company 1
To start with, their bakers use only unbleached and un-bromated flour, which eliminates unwanted toxins from your diet. They offer several gluten-free options and have a nice selection of delicious spelt bagels.

They get started very early in the morning (or late at night depending on your view), making their hand-rolled, kettle boiled bagels. Every day there are at least 14 options to choose from, including the oats and raisin, onion, sesame, salt, pumpernickel and egg bagels.

BrooklynBageAndCoffee Company 2

All bagels come in either big or mini and there is a plethora of spreads and cream cheese flavors available to decorate your bagel with.
Expect the unexpected (and delicious) with Brooklyn Bagel's cream cheese flavor of the week. Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to receive your weekly flavor alerts. It will be well worth it.

Popular cream cheeses range from vegetable, pumpkin, apple cinnamon and garlic with herbs to chipotle and asiago. The strawberry-flavored cream cheese also has its share of fans.

If you're into low-fat cream cheese, then try the cucumber dill. It is simply outrageous.

BrooklynBageAndCoffee Company 3

We all know that as much as we love them, man and woman does not live on bagels alone. That's why Brooklyn Bagel and Coffee has such a varied menu. They make a great sandwich here and have a wide array of salads, including seasonal garden, pasta and a create-your-own-salad option.

NYC Bagel and Coffee House - Astoria

When you ask Astoria foodies just what makes for a perfect bagel, you are sure to get a variety of answers.

For some of us, it's all about the crunch. The bagel has to have a nice, consistent crust. As far as other bagel-lovers are concerned, their bagel has to be well toasted. All the better to warm you up on a cold winter morning.

NewYorkCityBagelAndCoffeeHouse 1

Most of us, though, would agree that some butter or a schmeer of cream cheese elevates the bagel-noshing experience to a whole other level.
 
However, the one topic that rarely enters the bagel debate is the atmosphere of the store or cafι where you purchased your bagel. Let's be real. Most commuters get their bagel to go and are too busy running to catch their train to notice what the decor is like.

The amazing ambiance, though, that you'll find at NYC Bagel and Coffee House just might change the conversation.The atmosphere does matter, big-time.

Warm and welcoming, NYC Bagel and Coffee House has an inviting, rustic charm to it. There is dark wood everywhere, exposed brick and  wooden seats and iron stools that are made from repurposed material. The furniture here looks as though it might have come straight from a quaint country inn, barn or bed and breakfast up in the Hudson Valley.
 NewYorkCityBagelAndCoffeeHouse 2

Owners, John Loukas and Mike Lagudis are very hands-on. This dynamic duo is almost always on the premises seeing to your needs as a customer. They want you to have the best possible customer experience.

The inside is quite spacious, and during the nice weather, John and Mike open up a sidewalk seating area for your enjoyment.
Usually, one would never dream of taking their significant other to a bagel place on a date. But the unique ambiance makes NYC Bagel and Coffee House the perfect location for a casual date or brunch.

Coffee is provided by Brooklyn-based roasters Stone Street Coffee Company, so you know that you're in for a great, fresh-brewed cup of Java.

NewYorkCityBagelAndCoffeeHouse 3

All bagels are made on the premises, as are a fantastic and tasty array of cream cheeses. Astoria residents adore the tomato and basil, scallion, olive, canoli and wasabi-flavored cream cheeses. Far and away, the most popular flavored tofu cream cheese is the spinach and artichoke.

You can also pair up a bagel with one of their home-made soups. Change things up from the usual dinner roll or crackers. Soup's always on at NYC Bagel and Coffee House. The kitchen whips up at least three delightful soups every day, depending on what ingredients are available from local markets and farms. The soup menu is seasonal, so you can always expect a surprise or two.

So the next time a friend or neighbor asks you just what  makes for the perfect bagel experience, the answer is no longer up for debate. You will experience bagel nirvana when you dine at NYC Bagel and Coffee House.

Lots-O-Bagels - Astoria

This quintessential neighborhood bagel place has been around seemingly forever, and with good reason.
The bagels are delicious, so good that they barely need any butter or spread. And they have lots of brew choices available, whether you like a nice hot or iced cup of coffee or tea with your commuter or brunch bagel. The guys and gals behind the counter do a terrific espresso and Americano as well as drip coffees, macchiatos and lattes.

Lots o bagels

They have a fairly decent variety of flavored cream cheese here. But the great thing is that they also sell cream cheese by the pound. Make your sleepy Sunday mornings a little more relaxing. Just swing by the store, order up a pound of your favorite cream cheese, grab a bag of bagels for the family and you are good to go.

One of the many specialties here at Lot-O-Bagels are  their egg sandwiches on a bagel. Most people don't really think of ordering eggs on a bagel but they should. The bagel makes things more substantial and tastier than just an average roll. Love meats or cheese with your eggs? Great! They've got a full line-up of fresh-cooked bacon, ham and sausage as well as cheeses ranging from Muenster and American to Swiss and Pepper Jack.
