Sams Bagels - New York

The food here is mmm mmm good! It’s a very busy shop but they move quick, friendly staff and just want to get you in and out... you can tell it’s be around for a long time so it doesn’t look so up to date and you might get a little scared of the bathroom but it’s still a little gem.. can’t go wrong with a BLT

Love this spot. The workers in there are very friendly and they always take care of us. They make sure the right amount of cream cheese is on the bagel and the right amount of milk is in the coffee. I can be picky at times and they always double and triple check that I am satisfied and getting what I pay for. The store is very clean. Sam and his wife are the sweetest people on earth. The workers follow covid protocols by wearing masks and are very sanitary — they do not use gloves to touch food and then touch the cash register and return to the food like other dirty places do. We see the staff frequently change gloves and wash hands. I am and always have been very comfortable going here. Great food and great prices. Love sam’s!!!!! My boyfriend and I do wish that their grill opened earlier on the weekdays though. Since we go to work early we are getting breakfast at 6am usually, and sam’s doesn’t start the grill until about 7am. Unfortunately due to this reason it has become mainly our weekend spot. We definitely miss our sam’s bagels for breakfast during the week, although we always take plenty home every weekend.

Great bagels and food. Fast and courteous service. Employees wear masks and work behind protecting barriers. Plenty of space to socially distance while waiting for your order. This is definitely my go to place for bagels and breakfast food.

My kids’ reactions to a Sam’s breakfast says it all without saying much. The initial excitement slips into contented ‘mmmms’ and repeated nods of appreciation. Hard-working, very friendly crew manage to keep fresh, delicious treats coming, and all at fair prices.

Delicious coffee, the best bagels, my kids and I love this place! Kind staff
