Brooklyn Bagel is so good. Service is pretty nice. The menu features a variety of breakfast and lunch options, of course featuring delicious New York style bagels. Ingredients are fresh and high quality. When I stopped by on a Saturday morning I tried the Avocado Bagel -which was very good- and the tasty BLTA Bagel. We also shared the spicy fried potatoes that bring the heat with a chili crunch. I would definitely visit here again. My only complaint was the limited seating, which I understand is unavoidable with the space provided. However, there should be a designated waiting area for customers who are just picking up a to-go order. Many were occupying seating, some even tables fit for four. My party of three who placed an in-house order struggled to squeeze into a nook to eat our meal. Staff should be more proactive and direct to-go customers to wait, standing off to the side, not lounging in seats other paying customers who wish to dine in could be using.

Good energy and great food. Staff greeted me promptly and helped me through the menu. Coffee was made quickly and plenty of seating while I awaited my bagel. Location itself is clean and comfortable - appreciated the well stocked station for napkins, coffee add ins, salt pepper ketchup etc. I opted for The Burgh - sausage, egg, cheese, and hash brown on your choice of bagel- I went with a well seeded everything bagel. Anyway—— it was delicious and I highly recommend giving Brooklyn Bagel a try!

I’ve been on the search for a breakfast sandwich spot offering more than the typical options - I got The Burgh (sub vegan sausage HUGE bonus they have that!) and the Lox Bagel on Cheddar and Jalapeno bagels as well as a cold brew coffee. Food and coffee were excellent. Service was attentive and friendly, the cashier immediately recognized I was struggling with the creamer and thought it was empty and assisted. Plenty of seating and even tables outside for a nice brunch. Great spot, we’ll be back.

My husband and I have gotten breakfast here every morning of our vacation to Pittsburgh. The staff were so friendly and patient while we figured out the menu before ordering. My honey lavender latte was delicious and our food was spectacular. We will definitely be back solely for this bagel shop!

A must visit bagel shop in the heart of Lawrenceville. Bagel sandwiches are very good. Sausage is very flavorful and the avocado bagel sandwich is an absolute must try! Hash browns are awesome and make a nice addition to any sandwich! Tons of bagel options (onion, everything, & French toast) are a few we have tried and enjoyed! Lots of options for cream cheese spreads! Very clean with a simple modern vibe. We usually eat inside but you can order take out or to go! It is our go to spot for bagels; you will not be disappointed!

My new favorite morning spot in Lawrenceville! The bagels are really delicious and very affordable. It's also just a very chill place to spend your morning, it's got a very good vibe to it. The staff are super friendly and welcoming as well and made it an amazing experience. I will probably definitely be back. Highly recommend.

It’s a cozy, comfortable space with plenty of seating options and access to both WiFi and electrical outlets. I’ve never felt rushed or unwelcome. The food is good and just the right portions. I look forward to my monthly visits when I’m in the neighborhood for appointments. They also carry Twin Brook chocolate milk now which adds 100 joy to my day!

Great spot. Easy and straightforward menu, sweet service, good food. I got the lox bagel and enhanced it with avocado slices (well invested 2), and the burg bagel which had a patty and hash brown and was satisfying. Lavender latte was surprisingly delicious. Service was patient and efficient. Not much parking around but with a bit of luck you can find a metered spot
