Bagel Talk

Tried the GF bagel - was glutened!! They buy frozen gf nyc bagels (straight from the bag) and put it in their contaminated toaster, charging 6.26 for a very small everything bagel with butter… just to get glutened 👎🏻

There are maybe two delis in the area that open before 8am and offer gf food and this is one of them. On a good day they will have gluten free plain and everything bagels that are much smaller in size than your average NY bagel. These are not only kept away from other foods in the display case but are also individually wrapped so as to prevent any cross contamination.

If you are celiac, in this area, and are craving an early morning bagel then I would recommend this place only if you are buying it plain. Having them toast it, add eggs or bacon, or add any other topping will cause cross contamination. I’ve repeatedly been glutened by this place and so think of it more as a last resort.

Additionally, I would not recommend going here just before noon. The local schools let their students out to buy lunch and this seems to be one of their favorite places, causing a relatively long wait.

Arrived on a Thursday afternoon and was excited to one of the delicious wrap options since their menu stated in large print that the offered GF wraps. When I went to order they told me they were out of GF wraps and directed me to the small section of GF bagels that looked to be small UDI’s bagels. I asked to order home fries instead… they were also out of stock. I ended up going with a plain GF bagel with cream cheese. I’m not celiac but they took it away to the back so celiac’s beware of cross contamination. When I went to cash out my small UDI’s bagel with plain cream cheese COST $7!!! Don’t waste your time with this place when you can go a few blocks up the road and get a delicious GF bagel w/ cream cheese for $5 from Modern Bread & Co.

If I could do 0 stars I would. I can’t even review on taste because I didn’t even end up paying for it. They literally make the bagel (looked like udis) out back and used the cream cheese from the front that touched everything. They also put the wax paper down on the same cutting board they cut everything on and get everything bagel seeds all over it. If you’re celiac DO NOT EAT HERE

Celiac friendly?

This is a great local spot that has delicious gf bagels! My husband and I meant to go to modern bread and bagel but it was closed and ended up at Bagel Talk. So happy it worked out that way! We ended up going there for breakfast nearly every morning! So tasty and affordable!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten bagel is sooo good!! Really recommend!

I was blown away by their everything bagel! It was fresh, with fluff, yummy overall!. Absolutely better than a bagel with gluten! They also have wraps. And all gluten-free items are prepared in separate kitchen space. Definitely worth it!P.S I’m gf, but can’t vouch if it’s 100% celiac friendly
