At Zucker's, they like to do it the old fashioned way, hand rolled and kettle boiled. This is a true New York bagel and often a winner of awards. I think anyone can find something they like here with a big menu for breakfast and lunch, including sandwiches on bagels, wraps, or artisan breads, soups, salads, and smoked fish. I also like the steel-cut oatmeal, homemade granola, omelets, coffee, and pastries. They have gluten free bagels, excellent service, and they get the line moving fast.
Really great experience!! The line was out the door so I knew this would be an amazing bagel, and it really was. I got a whole wheat flat bagel with regular cream cheese, and it was so good! It was a perfect mix of soft and crunchy. The order took only a few minutes to be ready, and considering the line was SO long, this was impressive. The employees were really kind and helpful. There was enough seating inside as well as outside, which was nice. Hoping to come back soon!
