They offer plenty of spread options including Sun Dried Tomato, Plain, Olive, Walnut Raisin, Strawberry and Chive to name a few. |
| Ess-a-Bagel | One of New York City's oldest and best bagel companies, Ess-a-Bagel was established in 1976 by Florence and Gene Wilpon and Florence's brother Aaron Wenzelberg. The art of baking the perfect bagel came natural to them as they grew up in an Austrian-baking family. Ess-a-Bagel -- "Ess" meaning "eat" in Yiddish, translating to Eat-a-Bagel -- is consistently rated among the top NYC bagel institutions. And like most of the these companies, lines will typically be long, depending on time of day. If you want to purchase just bagels then skip the line and head to he back. You'll find Ess-a-Bagels to be pretty damn good. They are a favorite among locals, delicious and worth waiting in line for. |
| Bagel Belly | Bagel Belly's bagels are hand rolled and kettle boiled. These bagels all live up to the NYC standard but what makes Bagel Belly different is their fantastic gluten-free bagel and organic bagel. Their spreads are also very good and come in fun flavors such as Rainbow Cream Cheese, Roasted Garlic, Walnut Raisin, Pineapple Almond and Jalapeno to name a few. You'll find their bagels to be soft and fresh with the right amount of chew. |
| Tal Bagels | Robert Weiner is the owner of Tal Bagels. He focuses on the bagel-making tradition of boiling bagels because that's how bagels were originally made (and they taste 100 times better that way). Tal Bagels don't get a lot of pub but they definitely make some really good bagels. Their bagels, like most great bagel companies, are made in-house. Their dough is made the previous day and then left to rest in the refrigerator for a day. They then boil the bagels, put on the toppings, then baked them at 550 degrees until they are nice and crispy. That's how you get the crispy exterior with a chewy, delicious interior. Throw on your preferred spreads and you have one tasty bagel. |
Coffee & Hot Chocolate  | |
| Le Cafe Coffee | Nice little coffee spot with four locations around the city. There's about a 1% chance you go here and don't like your coffee. The lavender lattes, Red Tea lattes and Rose Lattes are very good. Flat Whites and cappuccinos are also enjoyable. They also sell baked goods from local bakeries. |
| Think Coffee | Think Coffee opened its doors in 2006 on Mercer Street. They pride themselves in making sure their suppliers in developing countries are afforded good wages and a better way of life. To ensure this, Think began importing beans themselves, working only with coffee-growing communities where they could address the needs of local people, through improved schools, medical care and food. Their company website supports this with their Social Project Coffee where they pay a premium price for coffee to benefit the employees and communities. Their coffee, which is the reason you're reading this, is very good. Their drinks are consistent (which is why you go to Starbucks) as I've been to several in the city. The cold brews, Spanish Lattes, Macchiatos, Chai Tea Lattes, Americanos are all good. |
