Bread Brothers Bagel Cafe

Excellent service, love the raising bagels and the salads, fast and courteous crew. Defenitly will be back!

The quality looks and probably is better than that of surrounding places, but my service was terrible. It took minutes to get a panini, and man, i was hungry. Several people ahead of me got served first, and i dont think it was just because they got something easier to prepare. When i asked about my panini, the guy behind the counter said he had forgotten about it, as someone had taken it off his (order) screen. The hibg is, i had been looking at that screen a second ago– someone did indeed take it off, but it was already 13 minutes into the order, longer than anyone else’s on the display. By the time i got it, the cheese wasn’t even melted. The taste was good though. They need to be more efficient here

Our shop absolutely loves these guys. They are always fast and the food is exceptional. Michelle usually takes our order and even remembers me by name. Perfection everytime!

I want to like this place– I really do. They have a pretty extensive menu with many different breakfast and lunch options.
However, almost every time I’ve been there, there’s been some sort of issue. First, the employees seem more focused on making conversation and shouting along to the songs playing on the radio, rather than making food. Probably why the service is consistently slow.
Secondly, every order I’ve placed has been wrong to some consent. Something added to a sandwich that I asked to not have on it, forgotten French fries, the list goes on. The food is also hit or miss– the bagels are fine and sandwiches can be good, but then I decide to try the pancakes and cut into them and they’re raw and completely inedible. It’s gotten to a point where I open my bag and physically check everything in my order to make sure it’s how I ordered it before I leave. You can’t trust them to get anything correct.
This place could be good if the employees and managers focused more on their work, getting orders correct and providing at least decent customer service. It’s very frustrating dealing with whatever they choose to hand you whenever you go there. At this point, if I go here (though at this point I try not to that often) it’s because it’s the only place in the immediate area for to-​go weekend breakfast and lunch options.

The food is great, the staff is awesome, and if you need an order big or small they will fill it and make it awesome. Michelle is always super nice to me and willing to have a friendly conversation. I don’t get my bagels anywhere else.

Awful service. One of those places where you can be the only customer in the place and there are 10 people behind the counter, but everyone behind the counter is completely preoccupied cleaning or making food (for delivery, I presume) and do everything in their power to avoid talking to customers. Like, «completely avoiding eye contact» levels of neglect.
At first I thought this was a freak occurrence, but this is pretty much how this place operates every day. It seems like they are suffering from the fact that they are the only game in town (or at least on the block) for «quality» bagels, so they have little to no incentive to provide anything resembling customer service.

I love their selection. They have everything including multiple tofu spreads for the lactose intolerant. Their bagels are soso but they have most that you could think of. the service is usually really slow.

I don’t think I can convey how much I hate this place!!! Not their food, not the bagels or anything, all that is just fine… the service, the time it takes to make your order in an empty store, how rude the counter staff is!!! It is amazing they run their business this way. I have given them so many chances to get it together and time after time I leave annoyed and disappointed. Never again!!! Update: got home and of course the order was wrong. I hate this place!

Pretty good bagels and a nice cream cheese selection. I had a the pumpernickel bagel toasted with the bacon jalapeño cream cheese. Cream cheese was good, but it wasn’t as good as Bagelsmith. I also ordered a smoothie (this was in February) which had strawberries among other fruit in it… didn’t know why the smoothie took so long to whip up because the smoothie maker and the owner just said they smoothie’s coming… until another worker came rushing in with a pack of strawberries from a nearby grocer! Mind you… most of the smoothies have strawberries in them, so it was a little absurd to think they didn’t have any inventory… or maybe didn’t think anyone would want a smoothie during the winter? A little hilarious tale to tell. I would have happily accepted a fruit substitute if I had known! Overall a good place if you’re in the Greenpoint area.

Was happy to find this place BUT… The Everything bagel doesn’t exist there –they won’t tell you that — Instead they’ll just give you some other random flavor without saying anything. The coffee is «okay» but nothing great. No cream milk or half n half on the counter — and they don’t ask you if you want any. Just give you a very hot cup of plain coffee. No lid. No napkin. No sleeve. No cream. You CAN obtain these things IF you stand there and ask or remind the staff that you’d like them — but who needs that when you’re in a long line and half asleep first thing in the morning? It’s a jolting experience. One good thing to be fair: every day I’ve ordered an ET bagel and received some other non-​ET random flavor BUT they taste pretty good and are fresh and soft. They just need to get their shiz together.

Damn good bagels!!! Have passed by a bunch of times but always in a hurry, but not today. Great addittion to neighborhood.

Best coffee of the week. Don’t know if I just got a lucky pot, but it was delicious. I have had many a fresh bagel there over the last couple years. They have all been pretty great, except once when they burnt it in the toaster. So five stars, minus one for an aberrant toast episode. Go here!

Cool deli right along Manhatten Ave and Greenpoint Ave. It’s not a big place and there’s probably only half a dozen tables available. Fresh bagels and plenty of different cream cheeses available. I saw Jalapeño, bacon, and peanut butter with bananas, strawberry, goat cheese and herbs. I’m definitely going to have to try that. The varieties of bagels as well. Coffee and drinks as well.
They have a fresh juice bar here too. They have fresh carrots, apples, celery and a few more choices.
I had a whole wheat bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese and it was good.

I don’t get why this place doesn’t have better reviews — it’s a classic great bagel shop with a million different kinds of cream cheese and really fresh lox. I briefly worked out of a studio close by and everyone I worked with swears by it.

The best cinnamon raisin bagel i ever had! My friend and i had business in your next of the woods. Stopped in for lunch. Your smoothies are on point too! Im from california and will def. be back! And thank you so much for shipping me the coffee beans. Quick shipping, great service… What more could a consumer ask for ???
You guys ROCK!!!

It’s only been a few weeks since moving to Brooklyn, New York, but we’ve finally found our Sunday lunch ticket! Usually we called our Sunday’s «Chipotle Sunday,» now we call them Deli Sandwich Sunday. every bite is full of taste and freshen. There Peanut Butter Banana Coconut Soy Smoothie (No.7) #Elway #SoGood You can see them make fresh bread and watch them brew your order. The staff is wonderful and funny. We will be back for more, guaranteed!

Fresh hand rolled bagels with delicious shmears. Got the bacon cheddar cream cheese onN everything bagel, which is everything on a Sunday morning.
I didn’t want to give them 5 stars because their bialys suck!

I don’t know why I keep doing this to myself. My french bulldog – he’s stupid, adorable, and handicapped, you’ve likely seen him in the diaper – can basically walk JUUUST far enough from my apartment to make Bread Brothers doable.
So we do it, on the weekend, and every time, it takes about an hour to get a couple of UN-​SLICED BAGELS with some cream cheese to go and eat at home. Most recently, I watched dude behind the counter wipe a computer screen full of unfulfilled tickets off to start over. Good for you, dude, we all have to do that some times.
Please, for the love of Greenpoint, figure out how to run a damn bread store/​café. Serve people, one at a time, what they order. You can get that one for free. And if someone is ordering two bagels to go to eat at home? Maybe just give em those while you make the dine-​in orders. But IDK, man.

Many options here, but i was not impressed with the bagel. The scallion cream cheese barely had any flavor or scallions in it. Not to mention the bagel was a little too hard, didnt taste too fresh. (I came here in the afternoon on a saturday). The prices are really nicely priced tho!

I was excited learning that a new bagel shop was opening nearby, but boy… The first time I came in it was just for a lox spread everything wheat bagel. Spread was generous and bagel seemed fresh and good enough. The spread was way salty though, which I thought weird…
The second time, I was hoping for a hot breakfast and got the American wrap. Lady at the register had no idea what it was, I pointed up at the board where I ordered from. She needed help figuring out how to enter it in… sure they’re new. I got my order and left. You see, the American wrap was egg, cheese, bacon, sausage or ham. So when I ordered, i clarified with sausage. The wrap was more like a roll about the size of an Oscar Meyer hotdog, and it was just rubbery egg, cheese, and a grey nasty-​looking sausage. $ 5. I haven’t been back since.
