I've never actually been to Cropseys but I've had my fair share brought home to PA when my father was working in NY. These bagels beat any bagel in PA. They are so good, probably the best bagel I've ever had. A few weeks ago we got them again & they did not disappoint. Pre covid they used to be open at all hours but it's cut back. I hope one day to actually make it into Cropseys to taste a freshly made bagel sandwich... for now I'll take my brought home bagels over any bagel shop in PA!

The sandwiches are pretty good . They deliver . It's a bagel store , not much of an ambiance lol , they are always busy . The service is fine . Bagels are usually fresh . They are a hit or miss with following directions (when ordering for delivery) . I wouldn't not recommend it .

Good. Haven't been here since the mid to late nineties when Cropsey Bagels was a weekly breakfast staple in my household. Its completely different from what I remember it being both inside the store and the bagel itself. I remember the store being double in size with tables and chairs but now it boasts an open layout that makes it easy to get in and out. The bagels here are good. Slightly different from what I remember but still just as good. Not too heavy with a decent chew. Soft with little crisp. Good flavor. BEC are decent too but be sure to ask for salt, pepper, and ketchup. I will say that the coffee is horrible IMO.

Delicious hot and ready breakfast and bagels . I love the different varieties of cream cheese spread that available with your bagel. It's open very early by 5am I believe. And they also deliver within the area. Definitely a good place to visit if your in the area.

There's almost never not a line of cars double parked outside this spot because of its convenient location near the highway. For me, it's a good thing it's not walking distance and only on my way when highway driving because that me from frequenting them way too often. They have the best (and only?) French Toast bagel in the area (Deep South Brooklyn). When my previous gold standard was Utopia Bagels, it's very hard to live up to those expectations. But I recently had a French Toast bagel from another boro's popular bagel spot and it paled in comparison even to Cropsey's! SO, I have a new found fondness for them and their proximity to my stomping grounds. Also, I recently learned they have tofu cream cheese, so even vegans can get their fix too. I'm still partial to butter, but I'm glad to know they're looking out for all kinds of customers. An excellent destination, but I haven't tasted enough of the menu to fully assess things.

It gets busy inside and out, everyone just double parks in front. Very possible you'll be blocked in or blocking someone else. Their bagels and coffee are delicious! My go to basic order is a good old everything bagel, toasted, with scallion cream cheese and the significant other enjoys a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese. It's nice and spacious inside. There's currently no indoor dining available and a separate pickup counter. They have everything you'd imagine a deli and bagel shop to be and more. Many varieties of chips, snacks, candy, drinks, beer, lottery scratch cards. Other food like muffins, pastries, croissants, cookies, breakfast platters, burgers, sandwiches, salad. They have a coffee bar section with flavored coffee and iced coffee too, but unfortunate there's no dairy free creamer options to accommodate special diets.

I dropped by here for early lunch. The man who took my order was very efficient. I asked for a menu hence I can check off the items I want in my salad. He went out of his way to find a paper menu thus I can write on it. I enjoyed it. The salad dressing was light. Moreover, the lettuces and other ingredients were fresh. Most likely, I will be returning to this place.
