Kossar's Upper East Side
Kossar's Upper East Side branch focuses on classic New York bagels and bialys served with several vegan tofu cream cheese varieties and plant milk alternatives like almond and oat. The shop attracts quick-service customers with fast food delivery during busy periods and provides wheelchair accessibility and outdoor seating options. Despite its reputation linked to the flagship Lower East Side location, this branch offers a more limited vegan menu without significant differentiation from other NYC bagel shops, and there has been at least one reported order mix-up involving non-vegan items.
