Until a few months ago EMPIRE BAGEL was my favorite bagel spot in the Bronx but of late I’ve been disappointed.They seem to be rushing the ‘cooking’ process-the the regular size bagels are a pale to light golden color, sometimes just pale-as a result the bagel is gummy and the outside lacks the proper crunch that a bagel should have. I once got a half raw bagel🙁I cannot comment on the mini as they run out of them very fast
These are the best bagels and the best muffins in the Bronx by far. Zero competition. The staff is awesome and the line moves fast. You will not be disappointed. I see some people leaving negative reviews that they don't make egg sandwiches etc but they make them next door at the deli with empire's bagels.
Best bagels in the Bronx NY . These bagels are the freshest I’ve had in a long time . They are always busy but the lines go fast and the workers are always pleasant and work fast and efficiently. The bagels are soft and moist and just pure joy to eat. Only one downside is that they don’t make bacon egg and cheese sandwiches or anything that involves cooking . However the cream cheese selections are a good alternative. I would recommend this bagel spot. The 4 stars is solely because they don’t make breakfast sandwiches.
I’ve lived in the Bronx for 10 years + and been wanting to try this place forever, but never found myself in the area before 12 pm…until last week.
It is essentially a walk-up window. I got there around 11am and there was no line. (Usually there is a line there earlier in the morning, especially during the weekend) They are open 7 days/week from 5 am - 12 pm.
I got a variety of bagels and some jalapeno cream cheese.
Everything was really good…definitely the best in the Bronx and some of the best bagels I’ve had in NYC period. Very reasonably priced at $1.25 each/$13 per dozen.
They also have muffins, mini bagels, coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
The staff there were helpful and efficient.

I was looking for a local bagel shop. I am glad we took a drive the next morning. We picked up a bakers dozen with vegetable cream cheese. Wow amazing and incredible all at the same time! I will definitely be stopping by once a week!
Open 7 days a week from 5am to 12pm fresh made bagels on site. It's a walk up window and typically a line the later you arrive, but well worth the wait. Dozen bagels $10 bakers dozen(13).
Friendly staff and fresh cream cheese was amazing as well. Coffee was great.

Awesome place! So, so, so dope for the bronx to have a spot like this. I will say this it's not very known by most of the bronx but they are popular as there is ALWAYS a line. Great line up of fresh soft delicious warm and tasty bagels. I bought 4 dozen for a breakfast event I was hosting and the smell of fresh baked bagels was completely overwhelming in a good way obviously. They have rainbow bagels too and they aren't chewy at all I always thought I had to travel to Brooklyn for those so happy they make them fresh in the bronx as well, kids love these my son sure does. They also make mini bagels. Oh and they have different cream cheeses which is also delicious fresh herbs in the cream cheese and herbs. I will say this majority of the time by 10 they dont have many options for bagels left as they get a crowd super early so everything sells quick. The muffins are huge! And also freshly baked nice and warm and fluffy on the inside. Their everything bagel was delicious as well. Prices aren't bad either, good for the bronx for having this place!
I previously had a 5 star review. But lately I've had issues with my simple bagel orders. The women working there would either toast my bagel without asking (they're fresh bagels....don't toast!) Or, more recently, they barely put cream cheese on the bagel. I also got my friend a bagel with "extra butter". It was a thin layer of butter that you could barely see. Looked like a bare bagel to be honest. The women there are very nice, but they are very inconsistent. From now on I'll check my order before driving away. If they could do a better more consistent job, then my 5 🌟 review will return.
