Ess-a-Bagel is a bustling bagel shop known for their large, freshly boiled then baked bagels, which many reviewers consider the best in New York City. The venue offers a range of vegan options including vegan bagels, multiple vegan Stockeld cream cheese flavors, tofu cream cheese, and a couple of vegan sandwiches featuring unique ingredients like koji mushroom meats. The shop has limited seating with about 6-7 small tables and tends to have long lines during weekends, but staff are noted for working efficiently to manage orders quickly.
