This has become our go-to breakfast place while we’re in NYC. Reliably safe for me to eat, a great selection of food and treats, and good coffee.

It’s a small shop that can get very crowded, but food can be ordered ahead of time for pickup. There are a few places to sit outside on the sidewalk, but we usually walk down to the Museum or Central Park and find a bench to enjoy our meal.

We missed the bagels - got there too late in the day. Got the donut, cinnamon roll, and a “Twix” bar. All were downright amazing. Ordered bagels to be shipped out today bc we’re not local and we really want to try them!!

There’s not much more I can say other than it’s 100% gluten free. Everything is amazing and it’s the first time I had an everything bagel. My spouse loves it and he is not gluten free. It’s pricey and crowded but it is the first place I go when I get to NYC.

Amazing 100% gluten free and kosher cafe on the Upper West Side. I love the variety of gluten free options but my favorite is definitely the Jerusalem Egg Salad on an Everything bagel. There are also great vegan options too. Highly recommend!!

Great stress free GF bagel cafe in Manhattan. You honestly can’t tell the difference with their gluten free bagels! Staff are super friendly. Also plenty of options for other allergies/intolerances, including vegan options.

If you’re celiac, this place is a MUST!! I’ve been to the city multiple times and Modern Bread and Bagel continues to be my favorite gluten-free space in all of NYC. The donuts are fantastic and the bagels are the closest thing to classic bagels I’ve ever had. Definitely go if you’re in either Chelsea or UWS!!

The bagel is good, a bit tough (texture/consistency) but good taste/seasoning and appropriate size. It was quite busy when I got there but it didn‘t take much time to have my bagel ready after all. The spreads/ingredients are on flat trays, I‘d prefer if they were kept in bowls to minimize accidental cross contamination because of the seamless border of the tray. Range of options to chose from cover most likings and are good with other allergens as well. Prices are okey, as it is a dedicated bakery and celiacs depend on finding proper gf options, it would be nice if it were a tad cheaper to make it more affordable to return.

Health code rating - We have been ordering bagels and baked goods from this establishment for awhile. We were looking forward to finally making it into the city to try the food in person, alas we were given a heads up that they repeatedly have sanitary violations. NY law requires this rating to be displayed. FYI! We did not go this time, hoping they can work out their sanitation issues.

Giving 4 stars because they aren’t super vegan friendly (I’m veg, and the options they do have are good but I feel they could do some more!) Some of the workers are so kind- one time as they were closing they gave me a few freebies. Super sweet of them to do that. Wish they had more than 1 vegan bagel option bc I hate pumpkin seeds (and that’s a big part of the bagel). Their desserts are unmatched and huge plus that thyme and tonic is right next door!

Everything is gluten free, so I bought three bagels and a cupcake. The bagels were good, the funfetti cupcake was tasteless and too sweet. Felt great to eat bagels with cream cheese like before my diagnosis. It is very pricey though and the ordering process at the counter is chaotic, heard a lot of people come back with their order because of mistakes and I got a coffee with milk instead of a latte. Was good but didn’t live up to my expectations.

Y’all- if you are in NYC, this is a MUST STOP. I’ve had celiac for two years, and I haven’t had a good bagel- until now. I’m in shock. The only reason my review wasn’t higher was because the cashier was very rude to me- and, based on conversations I overheard from the other patrons dining outside, very rude to them, as well. Just make sure you’re very clear about what you want, and you should be fine! Enjoy! :)

I think I’m the outlier here; was so excited by the reviews, I spent $50 on bagels, an artisan loaf, and pita bread. None of it was good, and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. I’ll give them another go eventually, but it’s gonna be a single bagel, not a spending spree.

The most incredible bagels and bread. And I’m a Jersey native so I am very critical of bagels. A must visit for anyone who is GF. My only complaint is they have stocking issues with DF options, especially the dairy-free cream cheese. But they’re trying. The Sabich is my fave - highly recommend.

The staff first of all were very helpful with multiple allergies sometimes people become impatient and they didn’t. Even the customers were helpful. The only suggestion I would make is that they have the ingredients if their menu available to see. Because as you know with allergies it can be tricky.

Absolutely the best. Safe. Dedicated. Clean. Delish. The absolute best gf place we’ve had. The bagels are rich and dense but super filling and tasty imo. We didn’t get sick. Loved their deserts. They have the best cookies hands down. Very busy.

Everyone was complaining about the wait but it didn’t seem too bad. The line was out the door when we got there, but we only waited maybe 20 minutes, which wasn’t bad at all. The food was AMAZING. I have celiac disease so I was so happy to find a dedicated gluten free space that made bagels and sweets. Their glazed donuts were the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I had to go back in to check to make sure it was gf, because it was that good. I’ll be dreaming of that donut. I got an everything bagel with chive cream cheese and it was so so good too, best gluten free bagel ever. And the employees were so great and kind.
