Ess-a-bagel - New York City

What naseem g likes about Ess-a-bagel:
So far the best 'just ' bagels I 've had when I visit NYC . That is, no sandwich just the bagel. I love doughey, very slight firmness to the outside (light crunch if even that).They might not have the flavor when eaten plain like other places but this is the texture I absolutely love.

What Oliver Williams doesn't like about Ess-a-bagel:
Bagel was frozen par-baked so not the same as having one fresh. Staff were grumpy albeit busy. Cream cheese was nice but after telling the guy I wanted Salmon on it twice, I just got a cream cheese bagel. Didn’t live up to the hype for me. I’m sure it can be better service but you can’t get around the fact the bagels aren’t boiled and baked fresh like pop-up bagels for example. View all feedback.
