    At its best, Bagel Talk can hold its own in the crowded field of great NYC bagels. It can have a perfectly bubbly, crusty, shiny crust, with chewy innards and just enough rise by proper NYC bagel standards. Everything bagels are usually well seasoned on top and on the bottom. And when you get them fresh (they have always been fresh on weekday mornings, when we typically frequent the establishment), they come close to Tal's, which in our book are consistently the best bagels on the UWS. The problem is that the bagels here are so variable. We've had bagels from Bagel Talk a few times this week alone, and have periodically purchased them for the past 10 years. While we've had some excellent specimens, bagels are not always at their best, sometimes with dingers riding alongside the good ones in the same order. About 1/3 of the time, they come underboiled and/or underbaked and/or baked at too low of a temperature, with a wan, pale crust. (Is this to allow for toasting?) And oddly, some bagels seem to be undersalted while others are perfectly seasoned. Based on the (sometimes) blistered crust, their processes seem to be traditional, with a boil followed by a bake. But I suspect that process control, staffing, and/or training and/or a temperamental oven may be a problem, resulting in these inconsistencies in quality. We happened to do a side by side comparison with Orwasher's given their proximity. Orwasher's has a lot of things going for it (the focaccias are a favorite) but Bagel Talk was clearly the winner in the bagel category. Even the weakest BT contender had a better developed crust and a chewier texture than those bready Orwasher's specimens. ** Just a side note on GF bagels: They taste like concrete powder and I would avoid them if at all possible. They are wrapped in plastic, clearly not fresh, and twice the price of a regular bagel. Even a good toasting couldn't save these Frankensteinian rings. If you need a GF bagel, try Modern Bread and Bagel on the UWS instead. The owner and employees have been perfectly cordial and courteous in our experience. I'd be glad to add this place to our bagel rotation, but I might try to ask for the darker, fully baked specimens in the bin next time -- if the folks there will humor me.

    I think this place should have a higher rating. Great place to get a breakfast sandwich. Bagels are freshly made and my ham egg and cheese sandwich was really good and super hot when given to me. The service was pretty quick. The store itself is nothing special but it doesn't need to be :)

    Delicious!! I have the Honey Turkey BLT on a Garlic Bagel and it was amazing. We also had a Hot Pastrami BLT on an Everything and it was the best bagel I've tasted. The workers service are extremely friendly and kind. The ambiance is nice and super close to the museum of history if you stop by before or after. I definitely recommend
