Riverdale Bagels

I have come here before and always had the same problem with service. They pick and choose who they want to serve will make you wait if they dislike you in anyway. Will find other things to do before acknowledging that you as a customer are there or haven’t placed an order yet. Management should train the staff better. I’m not walking in asking for anything free. It’s crazy to pay $3 for a small coffee that isn’t even worth it. But still for convenience and near my home. Definitely the last time me and my family come here. Only 1 customer besides myself at 6:45am. The best bagel in the Bronx is the Bagel Corner still in riverdale, 581 w 235 street, they are always great, busy but will always acknowledge you as a customer and provide the greeting and service I never got at this location the last couple months.

First time trying this spot out. Picked up a dozed bagels for a teenage sports team. Ordered plain and everything bagels with cream cheese. While I waited, there was a consistent line of what seemed to be regulars popping in to get their usual orders. The staff were efficient and courteous and got my order ready pretty quickly. I ordered a mini plain cream cheese bagel for myself to try out. I ended up eating the bagel on the way to the game. The cream cheese had partly melted on the bagel, which was toasty and delicious. I'm gonna go back and try a breakfast sandwich soon. This is a very small store, not tables to sit at, good choice of cream cheeses. They also had some good tea options that I could see on the back wall behind the counter.

Among the best in the 5 boroughs (the only Bronx bagelry ranked on Eater's 22 Best Bagel Joints in NYC. See photo.) The bagels are crisp on the outside, chewy inside and big. Spreads are appropriately generous making a perfect meal which I partake in almost any time of the day! It is a small store, no seating, no frills. Just great bagels and spreads and a few other items like Bev's, cookies and chips to go. Also, ample free parking in shopping center across the street.

The bagels are on point but the customer service was a complete miss. We came in 40min before they closed. We were patient as one person ahead of us completed their order. It took another 10min to be acknowledged and when we asked for additions to our bagel were told the grill was turned off. I’ve worked in food service. To have the grill off ten minutes before close is reasonable but 40min?! It was clear they didn’t want to service us. Despite the hype, I would avoid this spot.

Great nook for all your bagel cravings! Great quality of in-house made bagels--toasted or not, makes an amazing compliment of flavors of cream cheese (spicy red cherry peppers are my fav!!). Their breaky sandwiches are great, as well! Small nook that delivers a powerful punch!! Highly recommend this place!
