Review from Georgie S.

1/27/2012 5 Check-ins Here
This is the closest thing to a New York bagel as you'll find in Phoenix. Proper consistency, texture, I dig em. They make a mean breakfast sandwich too. In addition, they have a bunch of the traditional NY deli fixins like Wise brand potato chips and Cheez Doodles, black and white cookies, Dr. Browns etc which is important to this transplant.
Now, the bagels may be a little bit salty like many of the other posters have noted before, but you know what, beggars can't be choosers. And when it comes to finding quality NY style bagels in Phoenix, we beggars. -

Wow! Where to begin.
We stopped here last Sunday when they had a $4.00 for a dozen bagels offer and we were really very impressed. The bagels are outstanding and VERY NEW YAWK-ish in taste and flavor. The owners wife offered me a New York deal (which I took them up on without hesitation) 19 bagels for the dozen price of $8.00. Don't laugh. Yes, I did the math but I also enjoyed NY kibitzing.
Go! Enjoy! This is the real McCoy! -

As most Phoenicians from the NY/NJ area know, one is very hard-pressed to find a quality bagel in AZ. The bagels at Brooklyn's Best are really pretty good. They have the proper NY style firmness and texture. The everything bagels, which are typically my favorite, were a little too salty for my taste but not to an unbearable extent. They have fresh squeezed orange juice that is pretty good. Disappointing for a restaurant with a name like "Brooklyn's Best," the restaurant does not have a display case for meats and cheeses and various baked goods like any NY deli would. Nor do they have an enormous list of various combinations of sandwiches. Especially disappointing, they do not have taylor ham - a NY essential. I do, however, like that they have other breakfast items like eggs and pancakes. I haven't tried them yet, though, so I can't attest to the quality. On a side note, the bacon is a bit strange; I think it might be turkey bacon but I'm not sure.
Despite not being like a real NY-style deli, these bagels keep me coming back again and again, frequently going out of my way to do so. The bagels get 4 stars, but I'll have to keep the overall rating at 3. -

The worst greek salad I ever had!!!
I ordered the Greek Salad, they said they were out of feta cheese, so I said cheddar was fine. What I got was a bunch of lettuce (right out of the bag), chopped up green pepper and a huge wedges of mushy tomato! Nothing like any Greek Salad I ever ate! Where's the greek olives, capers and cucumbers??????You can order the same entree three days in a row and get something different, totally inconsistant! Most people in my office have stopped going here just for this reason. Guess I learned my lesson, its off to Pita Jungle next door
Believe me, in Brooklyn they would never have let this out the door! -

I'm not going to be too hard on them, considering this is AZ, and NY bagels outside of NY are pretty much non-existent. The bagels are decent, but they seem very salty to me. Service was fast and friendly.

Friendly staff, fair prices.
On Saturday mornings before work the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel is the best and its only $3.50! Its perfect when you're in high school working at an hourly rate. The staff there is always friendly. -

Had a business meeting here this morning, it was the first time I've been. The place was small but sunny and clean. It was pretty good- you're standard breakfast / bagel place. I had a toasted bagel with cream cheese and an iced tea and my guest had eggs, home fries, a sausage patty and a soda for $12, not bad. They also offer Boar's Head meats, and lots of sides. The guy behind the counter was not a super warm guy, but he took care of us and got the food out quick and fast. The place was empty when we arrived at 9am, but it filled up quickly with professionals from the neighboring medical buildings. Overall, it will be a nice place to add to the breakfast rotation.

People there aren't very friendly. People that ordered their food after me got their food first. No remorse from the staff. Only went once, will never go back. Pretty pricey here too...about 25 bucks for one order of pancakes with chocolate chips, one order of french toast and two orders of 3 eggs.

We live around the corner and discovered the place about a year ago. The owner (Ben) is friendly and always makes it a point to say hello. We stick to the bagels and cream cheese which are warm, fresh and made locally. I recently brought a dozen bagels and cream cheese to work and my colleagues all wanted to know I bought them. This is a great neighborhood spot!

decent bagel, bad coffee, friendly staff. a little odd seeing the boars head sign in these parts if you've spent any time in new york, but it's a nice addition to this area. unfortunately, this particular location (west side of tatum across desert ridge) is one of the most poorly conceived developments i know of.
