New York Bagels & Deli North Raleigh

It was very busy on a Wednesday morning, with a line out the door. You can’t see the menu until it’s your turn and prices aren’t updated. The space could use a refresh. The waiting area is small, but there are lots of options and the bagels are fresh. Service varies with some workers being friendlier than others.

Classic New York style bagels and deli. No aesthetic frills, but freakin' delicious food! Everything is exactly how I wanted it, and they are trying to nickel and dime you for things too. Good food, good price, will definitely go again and bring a friend. Very clean, very friendly, very tasty. Plenty of space to move around and plenty of seating.

This was my 1st time coming here and let me tell you, it was so packed! I can clearly see why though. I had order a sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and it was delicious. It was definitely worth the wait. They are reasonable priced too. One of the worker that took my order seemed overwhelmed though. You can eat inside or seat outside. They are only open until 2pm though so try to catch them before then.

The best bagels in North Raleigh, heck in all of Wake County as far as my experience. And they have Bialys!!!! Woo! I grew up in Jersey (NYC Metro) so know a good bagel. The bagel crust is perfectly firmly chewy (water bath) and the insides a perfection of texture. The Bialys have plenty of onions and seasonings on top and that lovely matte baked finish. They have a wide selection of bagels. The cream cheese is perfectly fluffy and delicious, although sometimes too abundant, so ask for less if you don't want to be inundated. The smoked salmon sandwich with Nova lox, capers, thinly sliced red onions, cream cheese, lettuce and tomatoes is a gustatorial delight ($12.99) and so worth the $$. The chopped liver and white fish salad are very good as well. Oh and the black and white cookies, y

Be prepared to wait in line outside before getting in, but once you're inside, the process moves quickly. They offer a fantastic variety of options—from fresh bagels and hearty sandwiches to omelets, sweet treats, and more—all at a great price. The small building and dining area mean it gets quite crowded, so it's best to know what you want before heading in. Despite the tight space, the quality and selection make it worth it.
