Ess-a-Bagel is a popular New York bagel shop known for its wide variety of freshly baked bagels and an impressive selection of vegan tofu cream cheeses. The venue is casual with typically long queues, especially during peak hours, though ordering ahead can save wait time. While the bagels themselves are vegan according to official sources, some staff have shown inconsistency in knowledge about vegan options, so asking carefully is recommended.
