Top tips

  • Good to know: Expect a line at busy times, though reviewers often say it moves quickly.
  • Check the cold case for extra tofu schmear flavors, including fruit flavors that may not appear online or on the board.
All 4 tipsShow fewer
  • Ask for your bagel toasted; the tofu schmear servings can be generous, so request a lighter portion if preferred.
  • Good to know: Ask whether the vegan egg or your preferred tofu schmear is available; one visit found the Beyond egg station unavailable, and another had only savory schmears.

About

This counter-service Union Square bagel shop pairs a wide range of bagels with tofu schmears in flavors like scallion, garlic-herb, and sun-dried tomato, plus vegan sandwiches such as the Beyond Delight. Lines can stretch during busy hours, but reviewers say they move quickly; indoor seating is limited to standing tables, and several reviewers flag the prices as high.
