Not good… skip. Save your money and try another place, seriously. I ordered via uber eats the plain bagel with chive sour cream and smoked salmon and the raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese…
The first bagel didn’t have the frikin salmon and barely any cream cheese… the other bagel was basically plain with jam. They were dry and hard. It was just not good try another bakery
I visit MB&B every time I’m in the city since 2021. Thankfully, as of 2025 I can say the customer service is far better than it used to be. The bagels are good, and they offer a vast menu. The seasonal specialty lattes are delicious. The donuts and cinnamon rolls, along with all other bake case items personally leave a lot to be desired. They’re dry and gritty, with an odd aftertaste.
I found out I had to start avoiding gluten in November 2024. Very upsetting news to me, but came across this bagel spot very close to my apartment. Got my usual everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. And honestly so delicious. It hits the spot just like a regular bagel! Plus their chocolate babka is delicious as well. Makes me happy knowing there are spots like this that are still so tasty.
Pastry’s were absolutely delicious, they had such an amazing range. The bagels were also great. The bagels were sweet and flavoursome and they weren’t dry nor did they fall apart like many others do. I had to keep on checking to make sure if everything was gluten free because it all tasted so good!!
Absolute best gf bakery I've ever been to across the entire country! My best friend and I went in so I could try a NY bagel, she isn't celiac, but got one as well. We both loved them! She said she wouldn't even need to try a non gf NY bagel because these were so good. I also got zebra cakes, pizza (UNBELIEVABLE), and a cinnamon roll. It was just a great experience. We went to another location the next day with a third friend who lives in NY and our driver (also lives in NY) and they also agreed that their bagels were the best and added them to their list of places to visit regularly. I see I can order them online and will be having them shipped to me. The wait to get items after ordering them is insane - so don't go if you're in a rush, it's also really disorganized the way they get food out to everyone, but again - WORTH IT for the fantastic flavors and safety of a fully gf bakery.
Everything was absolutely delicious, but the best thing was getting to tell our wheat allergic son that he was able to eat anything he wanted. With so many delicious options, choosing was impossible, so we had a little bit of everything. We’re very excited to discover they ship, so we’ll definitely be ordering some treats.
Wow!!! I’ve seen this place highlighted on social media but finally got to go while visiting NYC. Best bagels I’ve had since going GF. And the pastries!!!! Everything was delicious and I loved that I could have anything on the menu. It was so amazing that initially I second guessed myself that it was gluten free because it was too good!
We love Modern! Everything is gluten free. My wife has celiac, I don’t, and these are still some of the best bagels I’ve had, gluten or not! Delicious breakfast sandwiches and pastries, and a very friendly and helpful staff! Ordering online is great too, and their breads will last a while in the freezer. Highly recommended!
Uhm … wow!!! Worth all the hype and love they receive. We had so many yummy items! I have a sweet tooth so I definitely recommend the cinnamon bun and ALL the donuts. Oh and the coconut French toast sticks have a special place in my heart, those are sooo yummy!
Bagels, I bought six and brought them home and put them in the freezer.
What an amazing place. ❤🥯
Amazing bagels and pastries like the other locations BUT THIS LOCATION HAS PIZZA!!!! OMG mind blowingly good Sicilian style pies. GF pizza by the slice with lots of different toppings to choose from. I tried the margherita, sweet and spicy vodka and Cacio e Pepe slices. Hope there are lots more Modern Bread pizzerias on the way. It is 🍕😍
Best bagels, best pizza, best everything! BRING BACK THE YODELS/SWISS ROLLS! Spicy vodka slice is 10/10 (pictured), as are all the bagels.
Tried this bakery for the first time. Bagels and donuts were great, I could live with this. I would recommend. But the brioche bun tasted very “yeasty”, not getting that one again!
I am Ashkenazi so bagels are part of my culture. I’m always on the lookout for an excellent gluten free bagel, and the ones here are the absolute best I’ve ever had! We bought a dozen to take home and freeze; the cashier told us they will last 3 months! I tried a glazed donut as well (warmed in microwave for 15 sec) and it was divine. Definitely the best gluten free donut I’ve ever had! It was fluffy and yeasty and tasted like gluten. They also have a wide selection of baked goods including black and white cookies, babka, and chocolate chip cookies. And pizza. The pizza looked great too. Can’t wait to go back!
