Great place to start off the day. Bagels are great, lots of options to choose. Very filling and a frequent quick breakfast spot for us.

Since 1996, Murrays' superior thin, dense bagels have had a crackly crust and interior chew. Beyond standard cream cheese and egg sandwiches, Murray’s also offers chicken cutlet, pastrami, and salami. Read more

Get the Whitefish Salad Everything Bagel and the BEC on Whole Wheat. The herb taste of the everything bagel compliments the salty taste of the whitefish salad perfectly!

Murray's Bagels in Greenwich Village bakes fifteen varieties of huge, chewy bagels, but you can't get any of these bagels toasted. They're hot from the oven, and that's the point. Read more

In our opinion, some of the best bagels in the city. This spot doesn't toast their bagels, but they're so good on their own that you don't need it! Our go to: tuna on an everything bagel!

The bagels come out warm and delicious. I would get a plain bagel with veggie cream cheese, it is so good and so mouthwatering. If you are craving some good NYC bagels go to Murray's.

Go with a friend and do a splitty-splitty on a bagel with lox+scallion cream cheese and another with whitefish salad. Why pick one when you should have both?

$10 lox bagel seemed a bit pricey at first, but so deliciously worth it, and they're generous with portions. The bagel doesn't come toasted though, and the coffee was a little burnt

Best bagel in W. Village. If you like your bagels bigger and a little more on the chewy side, go here! FYI: they don't toast, but it ain't necessary.

Even if it's crowded, the line at Murray's moves quickly and is worth the wait. Tons of cream cheeses to choose from, try one with the whole wheat everything bagel!

Bagels are always warm because they're fresh out of the oven. Stopping in here for an egg-bagel sandwich on the way to work is a must if you live in the area. Even if you don't, it's worth the detour.

Murrays are my favorite bagels in the city, bar none. They don't toast, but the bagels are perfect the way they are. Good coffee. They keep the line moving, even at rush hour.
Emily WilsonAugust 22, 2015
Best bagels in the city. If you're getting one made at the store, ask for them to go relatively light on the cream cheese (otherwise it might be overloaded)
John McCombsJuly 25, 2018
Can be quite busy on weekend mornings, making it hard to find a table. If you go with others, try to have someone in your party secure a table while the rest order.
GothamistAugust 1, 2014
Though some turn their noses up at Murray's' no-toast policy, fresh bagels should never be toasted. Get a damn non-toasted everything bagel with lox spread; you're in the BIG LEAGUES now. Read more

Everyone says get the lox, and they're not wrong. But Russ & Daughters has as good lox, so you should really get what Murray's does best: whitefish salad on a bagel. They'll put a 1/2 pound on, too.

They don't toast the bagels, they don't need to. They do make the best tuna salad in the city. Put it on an everything bagel and stink-breath away your Sunday.

Strawberry cream cheese bagel with medium black coffee is my favourite after-workout snack. Bagel is amazing, coffee only so-so, but together they form irrestisible combo!
Sonny ByrdMarch 2, 2013
This place isn't over rated. Believe the hype. Wait in line. Get the whole wheat everything bagel with whatever you want. Be amazed. Welcome to NYC.

Delicious bagels that I crave almost daily. The health grain bagel is probably my fav, it's so hearty, and with veggie cream cheese..mm!Do not ask them to toast your bagel though. I repeat, do not.
Josh WilsonMarch 18, 2016
All of the spreads are on point. My personal favorite is the sarcastic sol on an everything bagel (both whitefish salad and nova lox).
Anechka M.March 10, 2019
Love it! Tasty Whole wheat with the best Scottish salmon I’ve tried. Huge bagel sandwich for only $12. And they deliver!
Mikahla VicinoMay 19, 2018
Expect to wait at least 20 min on a Sunday morning - but it really is a really, really good bagel. Choose from one of their many types of salmon!
Anna FrenkelDecember 18, 2011
whitefish salad on a freshly made bagel. the long line is worth it, but move quickly, know your order, and never *ever* ask to have your bagel toasted (they're freshly made on premises!)
Lauren MacNovember 16, 2015
Solid bagels, but $3.75 for a plain + strawberry cream cheese seems a bit steep? I'd recommend Brooklyn Bagel (bigger portions/menu) or Bagels on the square ($1.80).
julia tNovember 16, 2014
Whole wheat everything bagels and fat free choice cream cheese - the way to my heart. Bagels a bit dense / doughy but amongst the best.
Josephine SonApril 20, 2015
Ok yes they are slow, but they're busy for a reason. Really great bagel lox cream cheese when you really need it!
Jasmine TagordaFebruary 17, 2013
Pastrami Lox on an Everything Bagel and Chive Cream Cheese is yum! But my usual is the Veggie Cream Cheese on a Rye Bagel, simplicity at its best!

So delicious! Get the Sarcastic Sol on an everything bagel - Eastern Nova Scotia salmon, homemade whitefish salad, lettuce, tomato, onion. YUM!
David MilbergFebruary 19, 2016
Whole wheat everything bagel, plain cream cheese and lox is my favorite Sunday breakfast choice, especially from this place!

Possibly the best bagels in the city, you have to try the whitefish salad. The knishes are delicious too.
Lori LuoDecember 30, 2012
Scallion cream cheese is the bomb. Pair it with an everything bagel to make life perfect.
Rupak DebnathMarch 24, 2018
Bagel is soft and big. Tried everything and seseme bagel. Both were good and not salty. Cream chesse is good and has proper balance.
Ben HaddockOctober 4, 2016
Incredible, huge bagels – packed with fillings and delicious. Bacon, egg and cheese for breakfast is a treat.
Sarah RobsonJanuary 11, 2015
Tomato, egg and cheddar! Awesome bagels and great coffee...just don't go when you're in a hurry...takes a long time.

The coffee here stinks. The bagels are amazing (see my stink breath tip). But there's an app called foursquare that will help you find drinkable coffee. Go the extra yard
Caroline LeFebruary 3, 2016
bagel was a little tough for my taste, and the tomatoes and red onion didn't taste that fresh :( scallion cream cheese was yummy though. maybe I'll try something else next time I'm in the nieghborhood
Leanne AlyssaJuly 29, 2019
Bagels aren’t that great. Pretty generic place. For a really good bagel I’d go to Brooklyn Bagel
Steph KatrinaFebruary 21, 2016
Best bagels in the area. Generous with spreads and toppings. Bench outside is great for people watching

If you're going on a weekend, expect a long wait. If the line is at the door it will be about 30mins. That said, it's worth it.
Yisroel SolomonMay 22, 2017
Unbelievable bagel & Lox. Highly recommend. Cool, hip, bagel joint. Fast, efficient and a hell lot of taste.

2 eggs on an everything bagel with Canadian bacon, cheddar, and peppers is a great way to start the day.

Try the Salmon Pastrami - Salmon pastrami on everything with scallion smear and all the fixins at Murray's Bagels, New York, NY
Ana Marie 💃February 10, 2015
Classic, hand pulled NY bagels. Delicious house cured meats and Lox. Shallot cream cheese is awesome
Erin StFebruary 23, 2015
If you go in the morning to get bagels they are warm and delicious. After that they are a little stale and they will not toast them.
ᴡ AlvarezSeptember 25, 2018
According to one of the employees, the boss changed the closing time to 7PM. I was informed of this on Tuesday, September 25, 2018, 7:15PM. IF you go to this lication of Murray's Bagels.
Mark Neurohr-PierpaoliNovember 12, 2016
Try the Pumpernickel Bagel With Scallion Cream Cheese - Too long a wait and too much money for an average NYC bagel. Good, but not worth the hassle. (via @Foodspotting)
Minnie KimOctober 18, 2014
The best bagel sandwiches! The Rivington Street was absolutely delicious!
Cole KennedyJuly 5, 2016
I stick with an Everything bagel covered with scallion cream cheese, because I'm basic. Also: Counter Culture coffee!
f7oJuly 22, 2016
Traditional bagels place, loved the first 3 bites but then it's a bit too creamy for my French taste
