Brooklyn Bagel & Deli

Making a trip to the Botanical Garden not far from here, I was excited to finally scratch my bagel craving after a few painful weeks. Having had only one true New York bagel, I was hoping to not be too disappointed. However, the large amount of bagels, spreads, sandwiches, wraps, and salads made that not even be a concern anymore. It is very clearly a busy establishment as all the cashiers were ready to take our orders immediately and efficiently. I got to try a multitude of combinations including their Sausage egg & cheese on French toast bagel, Ham, Egg & Cheese on a plain bagel, and Plain cream cheese on a cheddar bagel. All were great and I literally cannot wait to comeback whether it be to go or dine-in as there are plenty of seats to enjoy their chewy, soft, and flavorful bagels.

Solid place for a bagel in Atlanta. The location has a large free parking lot that can be crowded on weekends but there's definitely still parking even if you have to walk a bit.The weekend lines here can be long but it does move very quickly. There's a good amount of seating inside, but you can't always snag one with how many people come here.I grabbed the Sliced Nova on an everything bagel and got a side of fruit. It's a little steep for a bagel but you're strapped to find one any cheaper in Atlanta. The fruit cup was unbelievable small so def cannot recommend that. Get any other side. I added on some hashbrowns and I LOVE potatoes, but these were forgettable. Just looking at them you can see they weren't crispy and they weren't. Fell greasy and flat. I enjoyed the bagel and found it to be good overall, but would settle for just cream cheese next time.

Great Bagels! I travel from Roswell to this location. The lines are worth the wait. My favorite is everything bagel. A chronic problem sometimes when one orders a bagel is not enough cream cheese. This travesty is always avoided here. Plenty of cream cheese. Toasted perfectly as well. I always enjoy a bite here!

LITERALLY the best bagels I've ever had, and bagels are my favorite food. This place is the best!!! My friend is from actual Brooklyn, NY and says these are the best bagels she has ever had, too. Highly recommend! Quick service in person as well.

Great quality, fresh ingredients and fast service! A little pricey when you start making substitutions but still really good.

I have been hearing fantastic reviews about this place and it did not disappoint! they have a fantastic menu of new york style bagels and sandwiches at a decent price! we tried the Brooklyn sandwich topped with hot pastrami, coleslaw, swiss cheese, & Russian dressing was recommended by the staff and it was phenomenal. the california turkey avacado wrap was so fresh and delicious. definitely recommend trying the chicken salad - some of the best we have had. this is a walk-up to order store with friendly staff and a casual sit-down interior. the perfect spot for a quick lunch!

Since moving to the area from New York, I've been disparaging Atlantan bagels to friends as "round bread," but Brooklyn Bagel was the first place to hush me up with my first contemplative bites. The bagels we got here had some great crust and chew. We also managed to nab some fresh bagels so that the ones we got on our first (but certainly not last!) visit were warm in the bag. Bagels are clearly the name of the game here, but there are a tantalizing array of babkas at the very front of the restaurant, as well as a refrigerated section of prepared foods and dips. The menu is surprisingly stacked with options - both on and off their namesake baked goods. There are endless permutations of bagel sandwiches offered here, along with wraps, salads, bowls, and deli sandwiches (which can either be served on a bagel or choice of bread). I spontaneously ordered an egg and cheese sandwich, and received a bagel with layers of fluffy egg within. I came on a weekend, and from my vantage point in the dining space, there was a constant queue of folks hungry for bagels. That said, the cashiers are quick and the line moves with frightening efficiency, so much so that I'd actually recommend first timers step off the line and figure out what you'd like. My husband and I didn't do that, so when we hopped on the end of a seemingly long line, we were mildly alarmed to find ourselves before a cashier within thirty seconds without an order in mind. Orders that are ready for pickup are called out by number, and they use a mic and speaker to mitigate any confusion (in fact, the system is so well set up, I was amused to find that there are even speakers built into restrooms, so no worries about missing your order while you're in the loo). Even with the bustle of constant foot traffic and diners with to-stay orders, it's notable that the staff regularly come by tables to give them a sanitizing spray and wipe.

Bagels are an extremely unique item, as there is never neutrality associated with them. People either love or hate bagels. There is just nothing in the middle (yes, pun intended).Brooklyn Bagel is a second outpost of the family run establishment and the first within the city limits. Alan Ahlzadeh owns Brooklyn Bagel with his son, Avi, which opened the Johns Creek location in 1997 and the Ansley Mall location opened up in 2021. This location is in Ansley Mall, which is undoubtedly one of the saddest examples of strip mall concepts plaguing the city, is almost unnoticeable. That architectural distress is not the fault of Brooklyn Bagel, but just a fact. The restaurant occupies a former Panera Bread location and inside, is a fairly bland place. There really isn't anything notable about it unfortunately and it does not have the character that a family owned spot like this should have. Ordering process was smooth, but staff working the counter seemed to have a tough time providing any recommendations. They also did not ask if the order is for here or to go, thus making an assumption that it's to go. This resulted in a preparation of a bagel sandwich that can't be photographed without making the meal look highly unappetizing, very sloppily packaged.Yet, the area where Brooklyn Bagel gets it perfectly right is a spectacular bagel, with delicious deli meat. The bagel was a great balance of crisp and chewy, with more heavy emphasis on the crisp side. Classic side of pickle is all that one needs to put a seal on pure satisfaction. It all makes it abundantly obvious why the store's original location has been in business for almost three decades.

Pretty good overall. Place gets crowded but the lines moves super fast. I had the empire state breakfast sandwhich, my GF had the meditteranean wrap. She said hers was amazing, mine was good (would have been better with cheese) but overall a cool spot, and the bagel itself was quite good.

Their bagels are great. Whether plain, with a smear, with eggs, we never complain here! My boyfriend and I often get a bagel with turkey sausage, eggs, and cheese. Everytime we get it, we eat it in like 2 minutes because they're that good! The line can seems intimidating but it's worth the wait !
