Angel gave astounding service. He cheerfully fixed our coffees, asked me to try it to make sure I liked it, and was super friendly and funny. The food was extremely delicious. I don’t recommend getting a toasted bagel since the regular bagels already have a good texture. I got a cheese danish (very soft and fluffy, not too sweet), an iced French vanilla coffee (a bit watery but maybe it’s the way I ordered it), and a Cordon Bleu on an everything bagel. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. 10/10 recommend. Outdoor dining is appreciated but the tables were a bit wobbly and it could be cuter, but overall good.

A local gem in Bayside, Queens, Utopia Bagels on Utopia Pkwy offers a variety of fresh hot bagels, breakfast sandwiches, bagel lunch sandwiches, bagel pizzas, pies, pastries, muffins, espresso beverages and an entire wall of cold refreshments. It's a busy spot for locals & tourists alike so expect a line. Service is friendly & fast. A favorite is The Utopia if you like prosciutto; one of my favorites, the New Yorker with pastrami & coleslaw & The Worth It, is a Nova lox standby. If you like a chicken cutlet, the Yankee Clipper comes with sundried tomatoes. It's New York so nothing is cheap but the prices are reasonable with generous portions & good value. Free street parking; casual neighborhood vibe. Support your local small businesses & restaurants.

I may be the biggest Utopia Bagel fan of all time. This is my all time favourite bagel place. I come here at least 3x every break from college. But I have been studying and living abroad in Scandinavia since January, so have been severely deprived. BUT, did I have my mom bring my favourites (baconeggandcheese on a sesame, plain sesame, and French toast), to Stockholm, Sweden? Yes. The bagels made it to Scandinavia! And they were just as good.

Bagels could be bigger but I still think they are one of the top 3 I have tried so far. Nice selection of pastries cookies etc also. Plenty of room to sit which is a plus

I live in Connecticut for over 30 years. Grew up five blocks from utopia bagel. The bagels here taste like they’ve been frozen even when they come out warm. I’m very lucky to have family still in Whitestown frequently bringing bagels back home. Bagels in Connecticut are awful.

Although the wait can be long it’s totally worth it, there are multiple people attending to you. The prices are right and the service is swift. There is so much to choose from I can’t wait to come back and try more items on the menu. I had the everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. It was perfectly toasted and not salty at all. They have seating areas outside which is a plus. And plenty of drinks to choose from
