The bagels here are overpriced and mediocre. But, it's in the neighborhood so we stop by occasionally due to proximity. The bagels are essentially round bread instead of bagels.
They do seem to provide some community activities. A large banner outside advertises chess for kids every Friday evening. So, I appreciate that.
Brooklyn Bagel Deli is there when you want bagels and aren't too finicky about the quality. It's along the lines of Big Apple Bagels and other equivalent pseudo-bagel joints. But, my experiences have been that staff is friendly and well, it's better than nothing when the lazy-weekend bagel craving hits.
