Kossar's Bialys

Really good ingredients and good recipes, not so expensive but quality/price really high

come here for the bialys & stay for "dat schmear" of cream cheese. Kossar’s—the iconic bialy, bagel, & more eatery— anchored on the Lowe East Side. Kossar's has bright clean interior old school interior with a small amount of seating. menu is posted on the wall. glass display has the cream cheeses available as well as lox. refrigerated unit has a variety of soft drinks. there's tea & coffee options as well. there are some breakfast/y sandwich options as well like bacon-egg-&-cheeses, egg sandwiches, & such. the toasted bialy with a heap of cream cheese is my go to. warm carby fatty smooth creamy gluttony. the bagels are fine but the bialy is where it's at--it reminds of any finely baked Jewish bready roll. so freaking good. the prices on some eats here seem a tad high but this is a some-times indulgence for me so it's no big deal. the staff? pleasant and fast. drops mic cuz i be all about the bialy

I very rarely leave reviews, but I feel obligated because of the consistently poor service I get. They consistently will mess up orders. Two times, they left out the lox on a LOX bagel. I have never gotten a well-made, correct, order.
