Vegan bagel

I had the vegan bagel with tomatoes, mushrooms, sauce and more. It was tasty but kind of expensive at around 15$

Your classic NYC bagel.

This bagel was massive and they certainly didn’t skimp on the fillings! Was reasonably priced too.

Amazing breakfast choice

I loved eating at pick-a-bagel. Their bagels and tofu cream cheese were heavenly. I got the sesame seed bagel with tofu cream cheese on the side. It came with so much cream cheese I ended up getting a second bagel to go! I also got an oat milk latte which was one of the best I’ve had since being in the city!

Pros: Options, Price , Convenience

Vegan Cream Cheese

A cheeky pit stop for a real New York bagel. Off the Richter scale. The best tofu cream cheese I have ever eaten. No photos sorry I couldn’t pause for enough time to stop as it was so delicious. How fabulous a find.

Amazing Tofu Cream Cheese

Their tofu scallion cream cheese is incredible. It tastes just like dairy cream cheese.

Pros: Vegan cream cheese options

Delicious bagels!

Great bagels with options for plain tofu cream cheese, tofu scallion and peanut butter - would give 5 stars if they would go completely vegan. Also sell smoothies and to go containers of fruit.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Serves meat and dairy

My favourite vegan bagel in NYC

I tried a few different places, but thought Pick a Bagel was the tastiest. Whilst it may not have as many vegan spreads as other places, they do the clasics really well. We had the scallion tofu and vegetable tofu spreads, delicious!

Amazing vegan versions

After stumbling upon this eatery we ordered a tofu cream cheese bagel & a mushroom bagel. Both were packed with fillings and absolutely delicious, would definitely return for a breakfast, brunch, lunch option!

Pros: Tofu cream cheese , Veg alternative fillings

Pick A Bagel

Not great. There are far superior bagels with vegan cream cheese offered elsewhere. Try Ess-a-Bagel or Absolute Bagel instead.

My everything bagel from this location felt like it had nothing on it. To be fair, I have no idea how they called this an everything bagel. The tofu scallion cream cheese was fine. The bagel was not impressive.

Bagel with (vegan) smear

NYC is famous for its delicious bagels. Many bagel places in NYC offer tofu cream cheese and other vegan spreads, such as peanut butter--and this is one of them. To be sure, the bagels here are fresh and tasty, and the tofu cream cheese is very rich. I had a sesame bagel with a smear of tofu cream cheese, and found it quite filling. Naturally, such a meal is not that healthy. But if a good bagel with tofu cream cheese is what you have a craving for, this place will fit the bill.

Pros: Good bagels and tofu cream cheese.

Cons: Not particularly health oriented.

Yum!

I love this place. Best bagels, best tofu cream cheese! Options are limited for vegan eaters, however, and it's likely there is cross-contamination with animal and non-animal products due to the high stress environment of that location. However if that's not an issue for you, give it a try. It's honestly worth it.

Pros: Tofu cream cheese!

Cons: Not fully vegan.

Great food, horrible venue, meh service

There’s no denying this place knows bagels and they know vegan cream cheese. Damn this is some of the finest, smoothest vegan cream cheese I’ve ever tasted. The fact it’s tofu based, which as something of a distinctive taste, makes it even more amazing it tastes, well like cream cheese and not tofu. Pricing is good and there’s a few other things on offer here like fresh juice.

The big turnoff for me is the venue. It’s cramped, even though it’s large. The queue system is woeful. Some of the patrons, seemingly regulars are downright rude (not the venue fault I know but it doesn’t help when it’s so cramped). Finally, the staff are a bit hit and miss with their service. It’s like sometimes they don’t listen to what you say; I had to explain 5 times, despite no language barrier, that I wanted a garlic bagel with tofu cream cheese. That’s not a hard order to understand, someone else had to step in and take my order to speed up the queue behind me.

Pros: Good priced food, Tasty bagels

Cons: Cramped venue , Questionable staff service , Limited options for vegans

Solid choice for bagel with tofu cream cheese

Got the toasted everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and was super yummy. A lot of cream cheese. Skip the coffee though.

Cons: Bad coffee, Dirty bathroom

Exceeded my expectations

I got a Pumpernickel bagel with tofu cream cheese and it was amazing! The bagels taste fresh and have a perfect texture. I also felt energized after eating and not fatigued. The service was also fast, even though there were a lot of people there. This is an awesome place for vegans to enjoy fresh and delicious New York bagels!

Pros: Three vegan cream cheese options, Fast service , Inexpensive
