Brownstone Bagel & Bread Co.

Gets the job done. Good assortment of bagels and bialys. The bialy variety pushed this up to a 4⭐. $15 everything with lox, cc, tomato, onion, cukes and capers. I thought the lox was a little skimpy for the price. But a fair sandwich in the end. Make sure you ask them to toast your bagel or you're getting a sad doughy bread with cold cream cheese.

Only came here because, as far as i know, they’re the only spot that has pork bacon off the union train station. All the delis surrounding have beef. I understand with inflation the prices of everything are going up but $10 for a bacon egg n cheese is criminal. Id maybe pay $5-6 for this. If u got money burning a hole in your pocket i guess this is the spot for you.

Brownstone was around the corner from our hotel so they got us in the door with convenience. The bombs got us back the next day! First visit: salt & pepper bagel with bacon scallion cream cheese and plain bombolini - that donut will ruin you for life. 2nd visit: egg and bacon on everything + bialy (tomato and ricotta) and a slice of cheesecake. The bialy was ON POINT - soft, warm, little doughy and hint of garlic. When you stop here, look in the case with the bombs and claim one before you do anything else! You’ll never look at a Krispy Kreme again. The owner brought the tray of fresh bialy out when we stepped inside and I knew I had to try it. Cheesecake is a very subjective topic so will say that this one was excellent in our opinion. Nice, firm texture and not overwhelming. A shared slice was perfect. Owner said he’s been making cheesecake since he was 15 - he’s got the hang of it! 😉 Sorry - no pics of the bombolini. No one here has that kind of self control.
