Leon’s Bagels

A perfect lil “hole-in-the-wall” type of bagel shop! Lots of ppl will mention other shops as “NYCs Best Bagel” but as someone who literally only comes to the city to walk and eat bagels, I can promise you this is an easy top 5. The bagel itself is quite perfect, but then they LOAD IT UP with all the fixings to make a boarder-line Katz Deli sized sandwich. I’m always getting the classic Lox on everything and I got BANGGGGG for my buck. Flavor was 5/5. Crunch was 5/5. Ingredients were 5/5. You get the point. I love the branding too. Lots of cool merch, nice employees, simple streamlined menu with enough options to make everyone happy. Truly you cannot go wrong stopping by their shops. 10 out 10 would recommend. No notes, keep on Le-on’s!

Leon Bagels in Brooklyn is a great spot for a casual breakfast or coffee break. The coffee is excellent, rich and well-prepared, and the bagels are delicious, perfectly chewy and fresh. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, making it a nice place to relax or catch up with friends. Definitely a spot I’d come back to whenever I’m in the neighborhood.

First time trying Leon’s this weekend!!! I’m from Chicago. 10/10 lovely people and bagel was perfect. I got an egg & cheese on sesame with scallion cc. Best bagels in the city.

Let’s talk bagels for a second. I will not say that I am a master of knowing what might be considered a “traditional” New York bagel or New York bagel experience. But what I can say about Leon’s is that the quality of ingredients and service really shined through. I ended up getting a bacon, egg, and cheese on plain egg bagel. The sandwich was great! But what I really appreciated and observed was the quality of service I experienced and saw coming from whoever was running the register this day! Food quality is always important but so is service, and Leon’s is crushing it at both!

Recently spent a beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon experiencing Leon’s. I heard it was highly recommended and they definitely delivered! Accessible by ordering via their window on Bedford street which is really cool, I had their staple Lox, 🥯 cream cheese, onions and capers on a toasted pumpernickel bagel. It was amazing!
