Spread Bagelry

Extremely rude staff and very slow service

Was craving a bagel and ventured into Spread Bagelry for a Carnegie Breakfast - egg, Swiss cheese, and pastrami on your choice of bagel. Felt like a quaint local neighborhood spot and it was decently steady on the Sunday morning that I visited with plenty of people coming to dine in and those ordering/picking up to-go. I didn't think too much of the wait at first because it was busy, but after a handful of patrons had long ordered and received their food before I had, I came up to the cashier to ask about mine. I don't know if my ticket didn't show up on their screens or if it was overlooked, but i ended up waiting even longer before it was done. I apparently wasn't the only one whose order wasn't made/overlooked /lost because a gentleman who was already waiting on food when I first stepped in line experienced the same long wait. I don't know if that's a regular thing that happens or if the staff was swamped, I'm not sure. I finally got my order and even after a 10 minute walk back to my hotel, my bagel was still nice and warm. The eggs were nicely seasoned and the Swiss cheese was a nice touch, however the pastrami was slightly lacking in quantity. On the plus side though, the pastrami was delicious and the bagel overall hit the spot. All in all, not a bad place for a breakfast sandwich. It might be more on the pricey side but I think it's still worth checking out despite the experience I had.

A bagel never tasted so good. Great place to have breakfast while seeing the bagels being baked in the wood oven

Great bagels, some staff is super friendly others just unmotivated; long wait times on weekends but worth it

Delicious bagels and bagel sandwiches. You can’t go wrong with any of their sandwiches but I recommend getting something with cream cheese. The cream cheese is the best texture and taste I’ve ever had (including fresh NYC and Montreal bagels). Took two containers and a half dozen for home and they travel well—I recommend steaming them first then toasting as they can get a bit hard. The picture I took is from three days later. There’s a decent amount of tables at this location but make sure to come before 11:30 as it fills up fast. Coffee is also really good, don’t miss out on the orange blossom latte.

Amazing bagels! So glad I stopped in, this will definitely be a go to whenever I’m back in the city! Friendly staff, great food and drinks, and even a place to sit in the back. Overall one of the best bagel places I’ve ever been to
