Yelper J S. wrote, "Excited this opened up. It has a really nice ambiance and lots of good choices for breakfast and lunch. And the bagels are delicious."

Black Seed Bagels

1188 Broadway, NoMad

Black Seed Bagels is a spot to score bagels and more located in the Madison Square North neighborhood in Manhattan (NoMad).

With a few more outposts sprinkled around New York City, this location offers signature sandwiches made with smoked salmon, cream cheese and red onion; smoked trout with hard-boiled eggs and Dijon mustard; chicken salad with smoked bacon, lettuce and tomato; and whitefish with cream cheese and sweet cucumber.

"It's a small shop, with really nice folks working there," Yelper Brett S. wrote. "I actually love the vibe. Everyone is really sweet, accommodating, courteous and professional."

But Yelper Mia F., who reviewed Black Seed Bagels on Aug. 25, wrote, "I arrived and they only had rye and bagel rolls available. I got the Frankie's Prime Eats Special, but with rye since they had no pretzel bagels. It was a great sandwich overall, but the store needs to work on knowing what their demand is and have a better logistics strategy."

Black Seed Bagels is open from 7 a.m.–5 p.m. daily.

Prospect Provisions

597 Fourth Ave., Park Slope

Prospect Provisions is a breakfast and brunch spot, offering sandwiches, bagels and more.

Freshly baked bagels come with butter, seasonal jam or cream cheese.

Yelpers are excited about Prospect Provisions, which currently holds five stars out of 13 reviews on the site.

"Prospect Provisions is the bomb," wrote Yelper Isaac W., who visited the shop on Sept. 6. "This new place has become a constant go-to. Super friendly, fast service, but most importantly — Mark is a sandwich artist and clearly a professional chef with a great passion for what he does. I've tried different sandwiches here now, and they've all been extra special and delicious."

Yelper Evan K. added, "Everyone who works here is extremely welcoming and they make some of the best sandwiches in the neighborhood. It's reasonably priced for the the amazing quality — great coffee, great breakfast, and it's open later than most. I can't say enough."

Prospect Provisions is open from 7 a.m.–9 p.m. on Monday-Saturday. (It's closed on Sunday.)
