New York Bagels

We had quite an adventure getting to this place, and the bagel was pretty good. My wife and I both got blueberry bagels with strawberry cream cheese, and they fit the bill for our breakfast need. We were served quickly, then got back on the road.

Best bagel in Marin and an amazingly low price! Highly recommend! Their cream cheese is yummy too. Costumer service is always fast and friendly!

I really like this place. It’s quick and they have many great choices. It’s always good to see where your food is made and I can see right to the kitchen. Yum. Those bagels are ready to be eaten. It’s a bit of a darker place than I like, but all I really need is just the food and coffee which this place delivers with excellence. The staff is nice and always smiling, and its great to feel welcomed

Best bagels in Marin! Great white fish spread too! Nice quick service!

Saturday morning breakfast for under $ 5 and served in 3 minutes. That was my experience at New York Bagels.
Located in the Strawberry Village (right next door to Starbuck’s), NY Bagels has been a shopping center staple for years. Though truth be told, I rarely see anyone in there… like ever. Every time I’ve come in, there are only a few customers. So I sometimes wonder how they’re still in business. But hey — at least you don’t have to endure those long lines you usually find at Noah’s Bagels. Speaking of the bagels, they’re fresh and delicious. My go-​to is always the toasted sesame with regular cream cheese (not overly-​shmeared) and a bottle of orange juice.
They have other offerings including sandwiches and breakfast burritos. Call me crazy, but if I’m going to a bagel shop, I’m going to stick with the bagels. And NY Bagels does a mighty fine job.

Very good and quick service. Had a Lox bagel which was done well, you can tell that the bagels are fresh and crispy on the outside, with a nice soft center.
Great place!

Great location next door to Starbucks
Easy to park right in front
Lots of selections — always warm right out of the oven — owner always has a smile on her face when you order

Great bagels, breakfast burritos, and Chicago Hot dog. Very tasty. Ate here three days in a row. Loved it each time. A bit pricy but still really good. Thank you.

I was traveling back to the North bay from dropping my brother at SFO, and decided to stop by this shopping center to stretch my legs. I saw this nice little bagel shop, and decided to give it a try…
I ordered the Lox bagel sandwich, as this is one of my all time favorite sandwiches. I got it fully loaded, as I wanted to try it just as they would normally make it. It was really good. They gave a decent amount of lox, the perfect amount of cream cheese, and the capers were a nice touch. I did miss the cucumbers that other bagel shops put on their lox sandwiches. But it was good none the less.
I was pretty hungry mid morning, and this got ‘er done!!! I would definitely go back again. I feel this is a healthy, and cheep option for some barely off the highway fast food.

Holy crap this was DE-​LISH. The only place I have ever had a meat and cheese bagel sandwich, WITH cream cheese. I got an Empire State with no tomato, on a cheddar bagel, with garlic herb cream cheese. Soooo good. Service was fast and friendly. Wish I lived in Marin just for this bagel place!

As you can see from my check-​ins, I’ve been here a bajillion times hahah. Their workers are super nice and their bagels are consistently delicious :}! I pretty much either get the Veggie Village or the breakfast Veggie. Both are really good: DD~ their veggie cream cheese and their sundried tomato bagels are the best!

I had their Everything Bagel with Garlic Herb Schmear and it was amazing. Their bagels are excellent and that is coming from someone who worked at a bagel shop in the past and the Schmear was wonderful too. They even cut the bagel into quarters which made it really easy to eat on the run. They also has quick and polite service.

Mediocore bagels. Mine are always overcooked or undercooked, there never seems to be an in-​between, but it’s the only bagel place by my house so…

Man, this place can get packed especially when you’ve got a real hankering for a *double toasted everything bagel with garlic & herb cream cheese* like I do. LOVE their bagels — not too thick, not too chewy, and it’s just the perfect size. And most importantly — ya can tell it’s fresh!
They have coffee, but no hot chocolate — but that’s what Starbucks is for next door, I guess!

I’ve never tried to find a ham sandwich in Riyadh, though after looking for a good bagel in Marin I have a pretty good feeling for how frustrating the endeavor might be.
On a narrow, undistinguished field, New York Bagels stands, well, shoulders above most competitors (excepting House of Bagels in San Rafael, and perhaps Bridgeway Bagel in Sausalito, which I have yet to try).
If you’ve ever eaten at Murray’s, or Pick a Bagel, or H&H (ah, H&H) in New York, you will recognize in New York Bagels’ fare something of the true East Coast tradition. They boil their bagels properly, which shows in their consistency – you will not find Noah’s doughnut-​shaped bread loaves here.
The bagels are generously topped, and you can always ask for one with more seeds/​salt/​garlic, etc. If you feel their standard schmear is too small, ask for extra – it is gladly given at no additional cost.
Lynn and Ray, the owners, are friendly and work hard. Our children have grown up knowing them, and are always greeted with a smile and a wave when we come in. This is the kind of place where the regulars get to know each other’s names, and it feels good.
We always make a point of sending any large orders (for school events, parties, etc.) their way – they have never failed to deliver. The mini bagels (absent from Noah’s menu) are excellent for hordes of little kids!
I can’t speak to their lunch sandwiches, bagels dogs, etc. – we don’t order these for the same reason it isn’t wise to order the fettuccini carbonara in a Greek diner – if you stick to the basics, you won’t be disappointed, and you might be pleasantly surprised!
If you live in San Rafael, I’d stick with House of Bagels. Otherwise, if you’re in Southern Marin, give New York Bagels a try!

I wanted so much to like them.
The bagels were not that chewy (which is good, imo — nobody likes it when bagels are rubbery) but unfortunately, they didn’t taste like much of anything.
A bit pricey for (barely) mediocre bagels.

I moved here about a year ago from SF, and it’s become our go-​to bagel shop. The people behind the counter are really friendly and nice – and I will say even accommodating. This one time, I bought a baker’s dozen, only to return to my car to be told by my wife that this was way too many as I hadn’t been fully informed as to how many people were coming over. Anyway, I sent my wife back in there as I was too mortified to try to return half of the bagels and a shmear (spelling?) and they (according to my wife…) happily took them back. For me, this is above and beyond, so I’ve always appreciated this.
Aside from this positive service experience, I usually buy bagels to go, and I like their selection, and their shmears are tasty as well (scallion, lox, lowfat). I’d say their bagels are pretty solid.
Don’t know why there are so many rough reviews here, but maybe their in-​store bagel sandwich experience leave something to be desired, but I’ve ordered a breakfast burrito a few times, and while it wasn’t earth-​shattering, it was solid.

This place has changed owners a couple of times, but I love this place fast, easy, friendly.
I always get the same bagel, so I can’t say I’ve tried so much off the menu.

Alan and I walked over here yesterday after lunch at Harmony. We were curious about their bagels. I took one look at their doughy corpulence and knew they’d be just like Noah’s. There were some whole grain bagels w/​nuts or something and Alan bought 2 or 3 to try. The bagel dogs were smaller than Levy’s, which are excellent but huge, so we bought a couple for lunch today. Then we caught sight of a couple of onion covered bialys. Curious, we added them to our order. A container of lox schmear, highly recommended by another patron, and we were done.
This morning we tried the bialys. Alan was unimpressed. I would describe them as kvachy and characterless. Despite all the onions, the bialy lacked interest. It was too soft and the dough was flavorless. I ate about ¼ of it and tossed the rest. The lox schmear was good, but there was nothing to set it aside from lox schmear we could buy anywhere else. Unless the bagel dogs are exceptional, and I don’t anticipate that, there is nothing that would bring us back here. If I’m wrong I’ll update, but Alan’s happy w/​Berkeley Bagel and I’ll stick w/​the onion bagels from Levy’s.
Later: the bagel dogs were OK. The hot dog’s texture was a bit mushy, sort of like some British breakfast sausages we’ve had. Not inedible, but nothing we’d have again.

A colleague and I headed to New York Bagels the other day to pick up a quick lunch. He chose a bagel with lox cream cheese which was about $ 3.79. That seems like a lot to me since the bagel by itself is just 95-​cents. Apparently lox cream cheese is REALLY expensive. They had some other creative cream cheese spreads that were not as pricey. The honey walnut sounded really good and the tijuana hot sounded pretty crazy…
I tried to order a veggie panini sandwich but they were out of the bread. They actually told me they were out of a lot of items. They offered that I could have my sandwich on a wrap or bagel though. I opted for the wrap and it was pretty yummy! I wouldn’t rush back here but at least there are a lot of options…
