Brownstone was around the corner from our hotel so they got us in the door with convenience. The bombs got us back the next day! First visit: salt & pepper bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese and plain bombolini - that donut will ruin you for life. 2nd visit: egg and bacon on everything + bialy (tomato and ricotta) and a slice of cheesecake. The bialy was ON POINT - soft, warm, little doughy and hint of garlic.
When you stop here, look in the case with the bombs and claim one before you do anything else! You’ll never look at a Krispy Kreme again.
The owner brought the tray of fresh bialy out when we stepped inside and I knew I had to try it.
Cheesecake is a very subjective topic so will say that this one was excellent in our opinion. Nice, firm texture and not overwhelming. A shared slice was perfect. Owner said he’s been making cheesecake since he was 15 - he’s got the hang of it! 😉
Sorry - no pics of the bombolini. No one here has that kind of self control.

Stopped in to try the bagels 🥯 . Hands down you can tell this place makes them fresh. The everything bagel is everything you'd want it to be, add the mile high cream cheese for the win! A must stop and try place. We'll be back.

Only came here because, as far as i know, they’re the only spot that has pork bacon off the union train station. All the delis surrounding have beef. I understand with inflation the prices of everything are going up but $10 for a bacon egg n cheese is criminal. Id maybe pay $5-6 for this. If u got money burning a hole in your pocket i guess this is the spot for you.

Usually my go to spot for bagels when staying at Sonder. Great service, bagels are delicious. Jalapeño cream cheese could be spicier.

Gets the job done. Good assortment of bagels and bialys. The bialy variety pushed this up to a 4⭐.
$15 everything with lox, cc, tomato, onion, cukes and capers. I thought the lox was a little skimpy for the price. But a fair sandwich in the end.
Make sure you ask them to toast your bagel or you're getting a sad doughy bread with cold cream cheese.

Brownstone Bagels are good bagels for a quick grab and go! Onion bagel with bacon, egg and bacon cheddar cream cheese is excellent!

The atmosphere represented NY. I enjoyed walking in the place to see a pure bakery. Great bagels. I had the cinnamon with ham, egg and cheese. I will definitely come back when I visit NY.

Delicious bacon egg and cheese on an egg bagel. Wish it wasn’t a little over $9 but hey it’s park slope so I can’t expect it to be cheaper. Nice staff, bagels are soft and fresh!

Sadly, no cinnamon rolls today. But the bagel was great. Lots of options. And I think they’re all made in house?? Thanks

Since I live in Jersey, I don't get to come out to this area often but these are the best bagels I've ever had in my life! (And I've been a professional chef and baker for years.) Crispy exterior, soft fluffy interior, generous and tasty cream cheese and plenty of other delicious options to choose from. It's a touch more expensive than a regular bagel but worth every penny considering the quality and taste. Highly recommend a visit!

This store bagel was awesome, fresh & good tests 10/10. Not too space for eating here, if weather permit you can eat outside limited chair. All foods very good quality . Price is little higher than the regular .

Some dam good bagels. Yes it is more than what you would usually pay for a bagel (about 2.50)but that's pretty normal for more upscale bagel places. Got my bagel super fast and yes they do only take cash.

Delicious ham egg and cheese on a baked in the store everything bagel - can’t say enough ... sandwich was great and the service was friendly. Preparation was quick and the coffee is bold - outstanding, definitely stop by if you’re in the neighborhood

Amazing bagels!!!! Delicious assortment of bagels and cream cheese! Unfortunately they were out of the "Pumpernickel everything bagel" but I'm gonna try again tomorrow!
