I broke the code. I finally broke the code to getting good service...I told them I would yelp their asses the first time they were good to me. They laughed and were like. "ya gonna be the only one wit a good think ta say bout us!" So we made friends and now they always treat me like the gay mayor of this neighborhood that I actually am.

What I love: No. Six wrap.
What I hate: This place has the worst FLOW I  have ever seen----everyone just rushes the front...and stands there while helpless 20 year olds rush to get it right.

All in all---if you have a few extra minutes...this place is a neighborhood gem. If you are in a rush or a little difficult...you should keep walkin.

My favorite bagel spot in New York and it's right down the street!

This place will make you pretty much any kind of sandwich you want, on a bagel or otherwise, and they're very generous with the freshly sliced meat and cheese. Oh, and they offer WHOLE WHEAT EVERYTHING BAGELS. All the salt, flavor, and carbs, but the whole wheat part helps you delude yourself into thinking you made a healthy choice.

Contrary to the other reviews, I've always found I get good service here. I love the fact that everyone who works at Baker's Dozen has a Brooklyn accent and calls me "dear" or "sweethaaht".

Big ups to Baker's Dozen.

Whole wheat everything bagel!!!! How I LOVE thee ... !!!!! Everything I've had at this place [so far] has been amazingly fresh and delicious. In addition, recently went here with a group of 7 and everyone was in awe. Among the orders were egg/cheese/meat bagels, breakfast burritos, coffee, and a smoothie-the smoothie was not that sweet and after you let it melt a little-it tasted a lot better.

A MUST in this neighborhood-and since I live some blocks away...it's hard to keep myself out of this place.

How is it possible that a bagel with cream cheese and a coffee here costs more than the bagel shop near where I work in Manhattan?  I feel like I'm Axl Rose in a bizarro version of "Welcome to the Jungle."

The bagels and coffee are good, but as other reviewers have pointed out, the service is spotty.

I'm convinced that this is the friendliest and happiest bagel place in New York City. Everyone who works here is always very patient and pleasant and willing to make small talk. Get there early in the morning for extremely fresh bagels and you won't be disappointed. Oh, and the whole wheat everything bagel? I'd walk halfway across Greenpoint for that any day.

This place has improved quite a bit, their bagels were always great and so is their coffee, but their staff was not great.  It seems they have really shaped up staff-wise, they are courteous and accurate now, which has me showing up more often.  True it does get kind of crowded around lunch but so do most things in this hood.  I find them really cheap, $3 for a bagel with cream cheese & tomatoes and a large coffee.  I was paying way more in Manhattan.
Definitely check them out or give them another try!

baker's dozen is the real deal. if you go on a wednesday and ask for a deal, boy do you get one. 12 bagels for $6 ain't bad in this economy right folks

also your choice of tofutti veggie spread. reg, vegetable, forget about it. if you hassle them about their name they'll give you an extra bagel

Great bagels, but make sure to double check your order. The staff of teenagers cares little about your food. They messed up all 3 orders I placed this week. The tofu cream cheese is great tho! Just make sure you get what you order!

Curses on you Baker's Dozen, curses on you! Damn you for being my bad selection for hangover food and for your deceptive specials that only apply if you get plain bagels.  Also a curse on your household for taking a good five minutes to get me a cup of shitty soup to go with my shitty bagel. Really? How fucking hard is it?   Thanks though for giving me three quarters of the worlds supply of cream cheese along with said bagel.  I don't know what I'm going to do with enough cream cheese to cover wisconsin but thanks anyways. OK so I'm in a bad mood and you probably deserve a two stars bud damn, how hard is it to run a reasonable deli that primarily serves bagels and coffee?

The service is comically bad; my order was messed up twice in one visit.  But the bagels are pretty good.  I just don't go there if I am in a rush, or want to order anything slightly complicated.

good bagels. great when you're desperate for a portable cheap lunch. but yeah, they could step on it a bit. also--have a hard time being graceful about paying--awkward layout to the whole bit. at least they have tables!

Yeah, I had high hopes for this place, but they have quickly diminished. Firstly, mostly all the fresh bagel places I have been to before have given a baker's when you order a dozen. This place is called _________ .....Yes, correct, Baker's Dozen! Did I get one? No. True, I didn't ask, but then again, I also assumed it would be 12 + 1 without saying anything. The service was mediocre and would have been better if the person behind the counter didn't look so blank or emptily at me when I was ordering. The bagels are okay, but damnit, I really want access to excellent water boiled bagels as opposed to OK ones, which are all over the place and brings me to my next point, the bagels were not worth the price a paid, which, if I recall correctly, was $12. Gimme a deal on these OK bagels or I'm going to go elsewhere for better. I still haven't found a good place in The Point yet, but I'll tote the bagels back from the bagelsmith rather than give my business to this place.
