As a New Yorker, you know the bagel scene is a serious one, and when a new spot opens, it has to live up to the hype. Black Seed Bagels, now a delicious addition to Long Island City, does just that. We're not just another bagel shop; we're bringing a unique, Montreal-style twist to the classic New York staple. Our bagels are hand-rolled, boiled in honey water, and baked in a wood-fired oven, resulting in a distinct flavor and texture that is thinner, denser, and has a fantastic crispy crust. It's a perfect blend of two beloved bagel traditions, creating a product that is both familiar and exciting.

We understand that New Yorkers have high expectations for their bagels, and we are proud to say that we consistently impress even the most discerning local palates. Our customers rave about our bagels, noting their perfect crispiness and delicious chew. We've quickly become a go-to spot for breakfast, offering a wide array of sandwiches, spreads, and smoked fish to top your bagel. Whether you're a fan of a classic schmear or looking to try one of our signature creations, we have something to satisfy every craving.

Beyond our bagels, our staff is what makes the experience truly special. Our friendly and sweet team members, like Doug and Derek, are always there to greet you with a smile and help you find the perfect bagel combination. The positive feedback we receive about our friendly staff and delicious food is a testament to our commitment to providing a top-notch experience. We are excited to be a new bagel place in the neighborhood and look forward to serving you a taste of our unique bagels and more.
