Briarcliff Bagels & More, Briarcliff Manor NY

June 2023: there’s been a change in management, and it’s led to a huge improvement. The everything bagels are actually covered all the way around again, and have more of the everything topping. The cream cheese is back to a good consistency and flavor. I think both could use a tiny bit of salt, but that’s minor in the scheme of things. Next time I’ll call ahead and ask for an order with salt added. I’m happy to say that my family’s old go-to bagel spot can be our go-to again!

2020 review, 2 stars: Ever since the last change in management/ownership, the bagels and cream cheese haven’t been as good. The everything bagels are more like “a little something” bagels, and the cream cheese is a different texture and flavor, especially the scallion.

After ~20 years of being a customer, I think I’m going to find myself a new bagel shop.

Today, I walked into Briarcliff Bagels not knowing a new owner has taken over the establishment. Within seconds I was approached and ask how can I help you which never happened in this store before. The feel alone makes me want to go back. I had an ordinary turkey sandwich on a multigrain everything toasted bagel. The bagel was amazing, completely different then the old owner. This bagel definitely is up there with the other locals in town. Actually I enjoyed it better than any other in the area. Keep up the good work Albert, who introduced himself. I never knew the names of the old owner and I was in and out for 10+ years. I will be back with my family and make this my go to place.

Delicious and fresh bagels, variety of delicious cream cheese spreads, including my favorite - olives with cream cheese. In addition to the tasty food, the staff and owner are some of the nicest people. We asked them to cater an event for us and they did a fantastic job. Thank you Albert and Shawn for your help and generosity!

It doesn't get fresher or more delicious than this. The team here is also amazing. They care deeply and it shows. Highly recommend!

Garlic bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon is my go to here along with a medium coffee. Highly recommend!

10/10, there is so much care put into this food. The sandwiches are massive, the bacon was clearly cooked to order, all of the little details are clearly considered. I got the Bronx Bomber and a Rocky Balboa, and while my Balboa didn't have the kraut on it? Still. Crazy good. Unbelievably good.

Stop the presses! My partner and I can't say enough about this amazing little deli! So happy with each meal we get here, and today was no different. The standard BECSPKOAR is always my go-to, and my partner grabbed the breakfast burrito special and it was SO GOOD!

I stop here every morning on my way to work. Briarcliff Bagels is a bagel lover's haven, flavorful bagels and a cozy atmosphere. Their chewy bagels are baked to perfection daily. The staff is phenomenal and the service is exceptional.

I hosted 30 people this morning and Albert and his team did a fabulous job. Everyone was raving about how delicious everything was! I'm so happy

Seriously awesome. Also: blending the jalapeno, chive, and salmon cream cheese on an everything bagel was the best bagel-experience I’ve had in my entire life. That advice is my gift to the world.:)

I've been getting bagels here since I was 3 or 4 years old and have always loved the place. Definitely the best spot in briarcliff to get breakfast?

The sandwiches here are so good and for a great price! Their chicken cutlet sandwiches are delicious and they put so much on the sandwich. On top of all that, this deli truly has some great service and hospitality!

Personal favorite, probably one of the best in the area for service, quality, and price. We love heading over here after some local errands but we'll even take the trip just to satisfy a craving. Usually hoping for a bacon, egg & cheese with salt/pepper/ketchup or a lox and cream cheese bagel with all the fixings but I haven't had a bad meal here yet. The staff have always been great, it's a cute little space, and the turkey sandwich I got today compelled me to write this review. Give them a chance, you'll probably be back. And don't forget the coffee.

Just checked this place out (under new management) and thought the breakfast sandwiches were great- looking forward to trying it again!

Delicious bagel (with boar's head) and coffee. Very friendly staff / owners. Definitely coming back.

So glad to see this bagel shop has reopened under new management! The bagels are delicious and Albert and staff are so pleasant! Will definitely be going back.

Best coffee and bagels in the area! Albert the owner is a sweetie. Lovely and spotless place. Well worth a detour. We will be back!

This place was reopened under new owners. It now has in additiom to bagles many deli options, and addition seating area. Very nice and good food.
