Best Bagel Shops to Check Out in Brooklyn

Bagel lovers know, a great bagel is a New York bagel. If your family has a hankering for an authentic bagel, we have your new lineup of must-visit bakeries and delis.

A good bagel can mean something different to everyone, but if your family is of the soft bagel on the inside with a touch of crisp on the outside variety, Brooklyn may be the best locale for your family foodie tour. Check out Brooklyn’s best bagel shops on your next family visit to the city. 

Olde Brooklyn Bagel Shop

For a stylish storefront with an old-school vibe, Old Brooklyn Bagel Shop is a must — not to mention, the homemade bagels are a local favorite. Grab a plain and test the bagel shop’s worth, or load up the schmear and lox for the ultimate New York experience.

Terrace Bagels

With hand-rolled bagels, an authentic New York deli-style menu and a long list of flavored cream cheeses, Terrace Bagels is a one-stop shop for neighborhood eats and atmosphere. Grab a few drinks and take a few bagels to go, exploring the fun neighborhood.

Tasty Bagels

If an old-fashioned kettle-cooked bagel is more your family’s thing or you’re just curious to give them a try, Tasty Bagels should be on your list. This cash-only, no-fuss Brooklyn locale is family-owned and -operated and rich in tradition. If you’re looking for a heartier, homestyle meal, they have great pasta entrées as well.

Bergen Bagels

Load up on lox and spreads at Bergen Bagel. Let the kids build their own hearty sandwiches, trying all the local flavors. Head to the industrial meets corner bakery-style shop on Bergen Street, the Brooklyn location, and choose from the full case of flavored cream cheeses and toppings galore.

Bagel Hole

Hot and crispy bagels are Bagel Hole’s claim to fame. Self-proclaimed as one of the “few remaining bagel bakeries,” Bagel Hole has been a local favorite since 1985 and a classic stop for the family on your self-guided foodie tour. Not in the Brooklyn area? They do ship to a select few zip codes, maybe yours is on the list!

If you’re staying in Manhattan and too short on time to get to Brooklyn, you can always order bagels to your hotel and have your own New York-style breakfast in your room.
