Finns Bagels - New York City

I am writing this review for vegans so they do not have the same experience as we did. We had heard they offered vegan bagels, so we decided to walk from our hotel to try them. However, when we arrived and asked the woman behind the counter which bagels were vegan, she informed us that none of them were. I mentioned that I had read they had vegan options and asked her to double check the ingredients. She replied that she did not have the ingredients list, but assured us they were not vegan. It was a confusing and disappointing interaction. My family and I left feeling puzzled and overlooked. It is odd that they offer vegan spreads but do not have vegan bagels, and it is surprising that they do not know the ingredients of their own products.

The freshly made gluten-free bagels at this restaurant are fantastic. They may be the best gluten-free bread I've ever tried in terms of mimicking the consistency of traditional bread. The atmosphere of the cozy coffee shop is very inviting. Despite being very busy, the service was quick and attentive. The prices are fairly reasonable.

I used to love Finn's as my go-to bagel spot and would always recommend it to my friends. However, I recently found out that a bagel with cream cheese now costs $6 and they even charge extra to have it toasted. Is this a joke? What will they start charging for next, maybe 50 cents for cutting the bagel? It seems like the quality of Finn's is going downhill.

The bagel shop has limited flavors for bagels was disappointing. There were dirty tables but no customers when we came in. I felt rushed and felt like I was annoying the cashier. We enjoyed our bagels and smoothie but believe there are better options for bagels in the area.

The best quality bagels I have ever tried, recommend 10/10. Also a huge variety of toppings, all are fresh and high quality ingredients. Super fast service as well.
