We were pleasantly surprised.
They reconfigured the seating and they have a very nice staff.
What was the most noticeable was how CLEAN the store was.

If you haven’t been in a while you should give them a try.
Just did a google search and "Brooklyn Water Bagel" came up on 27/441 - is this the one you're talking about? Can't move down yet, but that was one the things I was definitely going to miss coming from NYC.

Thanks!

Brooklyn Bagels are good. They're yeasty, crusty, soft inside, crunchy outside. They toast well, and have enough bubbles inside to catch and hold the cream cheese so it doesn't all melt off the sides right away.
All things Lender's Bagels are lacking...

People who say lenders bagels are good need to try some good water bagels with poppy, sesame or onions baked in

I'm from New York and when you think of bagels you always relate them to a Jewish Brooklyn neighborhood.
But the best bagel in N.Y. for the longest time was H&H Bagels, which were owned as I understand it by a Puerto Rican family.
So, who knows what an actual bagel is.
I miss Zabar's

How about a boy from the Bronx?
Great bagels. Enjoy.

When I went in February they still had some serious training issues for Food handling & hand washing by the front of the house staff. Do not handle $ and then use that dirty hand to open bag and drop in bagel.

Brooklyn Bagel
 
After some bad experiences with Brooklyn Water Bagel and not using them for a few years, our club went back under the new ownership and couldn’t have been happier. Nick and his staff took good care and our 200+ members were very happy. We will surely be using them again

they are probably the best around, but not much competition. That said, they are not close to NY bagels - it's the water......

Was it owned by a Puerto Rican from the get go, of did they buy an established business. Significant difference...

Thanks to the post, I’ll make a trip up to BB. Loved their coffee too.
Sesame seed bagel… yum.
If you want a solid "new spin on an old traditional" get the Williamsburg, without the tomato, on a *toasted* garlic bagel.

That's a bagel, lox, cream cheese, raw onion. You can pay a little extra and have them add some capers to make it perfect.

Suggestion though: bring a friend who orders -just- a bagel with nothing on it. Ask for a knife, and buy another bagel on the side. Scrape off half the cream cheese and peel off half the lox, and make a second sandwich. They really do stuff them generously.
