I was born in Brooklyn, raised on Long Island and know real bagels from "bagels". These are authentic, large with crust on outside, soft on inside like from bagel shops and very delicious. They make great sandwiches but a purist prefers cream cheese, Nova Scocia lox (smoked salmon) and some would add a slice of raw onion. I am not Jewish but was brought up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, a Russian/Jewish neighborhood. Slice and eat one or more when you get them delivered and hard freeze the rest. And DON'T microwave because it ruins them. Let them defrost naturally.

Very good but really big.

Well, it was a great experience eating these bagels. I sure will do it again.

I submitted a gift order but failed to change delivery address. When I tried to stop the order, I received an "out of office" email from Rob who had "limited email access". However, he replied almost immediately and assured me that they would deliver the bagels to the correct address no matter what it took. Also of note, is that simultaneously I called the company and actually got someone on the phone before "opened for business". George also said not to worry and it would be straightened out once staff arrived. And it was!

My friend said the bagels were fantastic and included whimsical instructions on eating now or freezing for future use.

Bravo. Every company should have such great customer service and product to match.

I've missed NYC bagels since I moved south 13 years ago. When I found this offering on Amazon I couldn't order them fast enough and they did not disappoint. Great texture and flavor. While they are not always in stock I keep checking back for when they are. They freeze very well and I keep them fresh in the fridge. You will not be disappointed in these bagels.
