Zucker's Bagels & Smoked Fish

The bagel was very small and dry and stale-tasting so already not worth the price but then I was glutened so deeply would not recommend.

This is a reasonable option if you are going out for bagels in the area with non-GF friends. Your basic takeout bagel shop with lots of amazing smoked fish, cream cheese/butter and egg sandwich options. They have a few tables inside and more outside (self-serve.) GF Bagels are from someplace else, smaller, and come frozen; they prepare them for you in a separate area (guy at the counter was very up front with this info). I would not have felt safe here, because there is no GF space or labeling and they smear the gluten bagels with knives that go right back into the cheese and fish containers, however, the server behind the counter was happy to give me cream cheese from a fresh untouched batch. I have had better GF Bagels, but I have also had far worse, and the lox was amazingly delicious! Tables were covered with gluten - I washed mine down carefully before eating. Not inexpensive, not GF-centric, but yummy and a good option for you if you have non-GF friends who love bagels. I am celiac but asymptomatic so I don't know if I was glutened!

Really cute place with gluten free buns for año the options they have!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Well, what can I say, the GF bagel did not live up to my expectations after the reviews I read here. Very small, dry and tasteless.

Not an udi bagel thank God!! Bagels are homemade and they offer plain and everything bagels so so so good. My favorite was the everything. They don’t have them on the menu you just have to ask. And they have limited supply so double check if you want before to make sure they’re not out. I have celiac and didn’t get sick and had it toasted

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They use frozen greater knead bagels and did not have a gluten free toaster

This bagel is AMAZINNNNNG! Best tasting gluten free bagel I have ever had since being gluten free for 8 years. The cross contamination is possible but they do their best. I didn't get sick. They don't skimp on the bagel fillings! The bagel with scallion cream cheese hit the spot and kept me full for hours!
