Well I finally got to eat here since the reopening of the former "New York Bagels". For those of you former customers, it's the same owners, new name. I had the Smokehouse and my wife had the Pizza Bagel. I must say it was quite good however I don't remember the bagels being so chewy. I love water boiled bagels but it didn't seem to have the same taste. Perhaps we got bagels sitting out all day I don't know? Average sandwich bagel price is about $4.50. A bakers dozen of bagels is $7.00. I'll definitely be eating there again to get my fix of water boiled bagels. The decor was nice, reminds you of a nice old library. I was actually surprised how much money they probably sunk into the decor. Only thing I can say bad about the place really is I don't like the location. I wish they had one downtown or inner city.

i agree about the taste! I ate there a few weeks ago in the morning, so I "assumed" they were fresh. it is missing the "umph" that the NY bagels had, but I did like the texture.........go figure. maybe I need to get a sandwich and try that!

My family and I are VERY happy to have the bagel shop back! We ate there daily in Stillwater and since they opened we have been in heaven breakfast and lunch! They have told us that they do make their bagels fresh every morning so I can't explain why they didn't seem fresh.

As for the location, it surprised us too, we never would have thought this would work, however I will say we LOVE the location, it is within walking distance from our home so we are often there! They are doing a great job if you ask me, hopefully they will keep doing well and will expand to other areas of the metro!

They're most likely going to expand the current space to the south, and then the next location would be Edmond.

A CBD or MidTown location would be a gold mine.

I agree. I think in the next couple of years, when the population downtown increases significantly, that location will be a goldmine for a lot of restaurants. I'd love to see one in Bricktown or Edmond

Just tried it out the other day, it was really good! Especially because I don't know of any other place in the metro that water boil bagels (the NY way!) - if I'm wrong somebody please correct me. I loves me bagels, its one of the things I've miss most (besides pizza, but Falcone's filled that gap). Plus they give you a PICKLE on the side with all sandwiches. Can't beat that! Garlic bagels rock my world.

Only thing is that they could have put some more lox on the bagel with lox. I know lox are expensive, but I'd rather pay a dollar or two more and have more fish than the current price with a tiny slice.

Do they have a good selection of spreads or is it just sandwiches. I love Veggie Cream Cheese! If their Bacon, Egg and Cheese and Veggie spread are good, I'll eat there at least once a week.

JerzeeGrlinOKC, Papa Angelo's in Bethany is really good for a NY style pizza. I just moved to OKC from New Jersey in August, and it is the only REAL pizza I've had. The owners are from the Bronx. I'll have to try Falcone's.

Thanks sgordon! Ya know, I'm not sure what sorts of cream cheese they have there to be honest. I did try the veggie cream cheese one time, and it was very good. Veggie cream cheese on a garlic bagel...yum. I think they have a decent selection, you can take them to go too (they are on a refrigerated rack right by the cashier). I've only had plain and veggie. I'll pay more attention next time.

Thanks for the tip about Papa Angelo's, I'll give it a try!

BTW, where in Jersey are you from?! So as not to get off topic, send me a message or something!

tppk my kids there for breakfast, awesome!, theyt loved it, personal attention from the owners, bagels were wonderful, now a regualr stop
