  My order was the avocado toast with everything and eggs. (Turkey bacon on top) I got hazelnut iced coffee with skim milk. The hazelnut was good could of put a pump more.
  
  My boyfriend got a Pastrami Salmon bowl. His was so good super healthy. The bowel is smoked salmon with pastrami flavor different and interesting.
  
  There is a lot of room to dine in. Customer service they are really nice.
  
  Flavor was good. They give many varieties of bagels, sandwiches and platter options. Especially for a small spot.
  
  You can pig out or be healthy here.

  This shop used to be starbucks coffee couple of years back and since then I havent been here.
  
  So , This was our first time at Bagels and Cream.
  We had quick bite with everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese and small coffee. Bagel was tasty.
  
  Inside this place is spacious and looked very clean and organized. Also they have a huge menu! With sandwiches omelettes and bagels. I had no idea!! They also deliver through -uber eats I believe- which is a plus.
  
  Overall we liked this place and glad we stopped by and definitely will come back for more.

  Total disclosure: I ordered delivery and the order took 2 hours to arrive. The food was cold by that time but I chucked everything in the microwave to heat it back up. We ordered the classic French toast and the avocado omelet combo which includes a choice of bread/roll/bagel etc and a beverage (I chose a roll and a ginger ale).
  
  The French toast was fine, except that they only provided one tiny container of syrup. (It's a good thing that we had maple syrup and agave on hand.)  The avocado for the omelet was black on the inside although it looked greenish on the outside (see picture). The avocado was just plopped on top so I didnt have to eat it which was probably a God-send. The omelet also consisted of sliced tomatoes, American cheese and the turkey bacon that I added for $0.75 extra. I finished most of it since we had waited so long for it to arrive.
  
  Although this place had some of the best reviews in the area for delivery it was a disappointing experience. To top it off, my bowels were a bit sensitive after the omelet. I will not be returning as a customer, but if you do, perhaps stick to the bagels..?

  I enjoy bagels, but I don't have them often because it's hard for me to justify all the carbs. When I do indulge, I always go to Empire Bagels in Pelham Bay since it's my opinion they have some of the best bagels in NYC. However, I'm an open minded person and will always give a new business a chance. I've been monitoring Bagels and Cream for a while, and when I noticed they finally opened for business I decided to stop here for breakfast.
  
  Bagels and Cream sits in the former site of Starbucks. A larger, more functional Starbucks with a drive-thru opened down the block and eventually this one closed. Walking into B&C, it doesn't look like much changed - they got rid of the bux aesthetics and replaced it with a mostly contemporary design with a metallic color scheme and clean lines.
  
  While they of course serve bagels with a variety of cream cheeses, I also noticed their menu had a number of sandwiches and lunch-style food offerings. It also looks like they're expanding the menu which will definitely help them being in a neighborhood with multiple hospitals and medical facilities. I just wanted a bagel though - so I went with a toasted sesame one and decided to try their garlic and herb cream cheese.  
  
  The bagel was pretty good; not the best I've had but way better than ones I've had in Westchester or upstate. The garlic and herb cream cheese had flavor but was a little too salty for my taste; I appreciate the creativity but it needs to be fine-tuned. The service was great - everyone was really friendly and service was prompt. This is a family-run business so hopefully this remains consistent.  
  
  Overall, Bagels and Cream is off to a good start. They have stiff competition from neighboring businesses, but if they keep it up I'm sure they'll get a loyal following. While I've had better bagels, the friendly service, an expanding menu, and a welcoming atmosphere all combine to a place I would return to.

  Wonderful, new locally-owned bagel shop in the Bronx. Great service and even better freshly baked bagels.
  
  I've had almost every flavor and they're all so good. I love the French Toast bagel, and the plain is NYC bagel perfection. You've gotta try the bacon and cheddar cream cheese, so good! Their lox and pastrami lox are super fresh and makes the perfect bagel & lox sandwich, you gotta try it. And to top it off they have Lavazza espresso drinks. I have yet to try their lunch but they have salads and sandwiches as well.
  
  It's a big, bright clean space with plenty of places to sit if you want to dine in. I'll be back!
