Great bagels but cream cheese a lil weird

They do a few options of tofu cream cheese and then added veggies. The tofu cream cheese is nice but a lil weird in texture, the plain one I didn’t like as much but the scallion one was really good I think cos the green onion took away some of the odd texture. The bagels themselves were perfect, delicious and chewy. More too ruins would be great but there was enough that it wasn’t an issue.

Pros: Scallion cream cheese , Bagels were perfect

Cons: Not many options

Good bagels

I had the everything bagel with tofu cream cheese. I asked them to add veggies, which were avocado, tomato, cucumber and red onion. It was quite good! 2 bagels were $24.50

Vegan bagel

I had the vegan bagel with tomatoes, mushrooms, sauce and more. It was tasty but kind of expensive at around 15$

Your classic NYC bagel.

This bagel was massive and they certainly didn’t skimp on the fillings! Was reasonably priced too.

Amazing breakfast choice

I loved eating at pick-a-bagel. Their bagels and tofu cream cheese were heavenly. I got the sesame seed bagel with tofu cream cheese on the side. It came with so much cream cheese I ended up getting a second bagel to go! I also got an oat milk latte which was one of the best I’ve had since being in the city!

Pros: Options, Price , Convenience

Vegan Cream Cheese

A cheeky pit stop for a real New York bagel. Off the Richter scale. The best tofu cream cheese I have ever eaten. No photos sorry I couldn’t pause for enough time to stop as it was so delicious. How fabulous a find.

Amazing Tofu Cream Cheese

Their tofu scallion cream cheese is incredible. It tastes just like dairy cream cheese.

Delicious bagels!

Great bagels with options for plain tofu cream cheese, tofu scallion and peanut butter - would give 5 stars if they would go completely vegan. Also sell smoothies and to go containers of fruit.

Pros: Vegan options

Cons: Serves meat and dairy

My favourite vegan bagel in NYC

I tried a few different places, but thought Pick a Bagel was the tastiest. Whilst it may not have as many vegan spreads as other places, they do the clasics really well. We had the scallion tofu and vegetable tofu spreads, delicious!

Amazing vegan versions

After stumbling upon this eatery we ordered a tofu cream cheese bagel & a mushroom bagel. Both were packed with fillings and absolutely delicious, would definitely return for a breakfast, brunch, lunch option!

Pros: Tofu cream cheese , Veg alternative fillings

Pick A Bagel

Not great. There are far superior bagels with vegan cream cheese offered elsewhere. Try Ess-a-Bagel or Absolute Bagel instead.

My everything bagel from this location felt like it had nothing on it. To be fair, I have no idea how they called this an everything bagel. The tofu scallion cream cheese was fine. The bagel was not impressive.

Bagel with (vegan) smear

NYC is famous for its delicious bagels. Many bagel places in NYC offer tofu cream cheese and other vegan spreads, such as peanut butter--and this is one of them. To be sure, the bagels here are fresh and tasty, and the tofu cream cheese is very rich. I had a sesame bagel with a smear of tofu cream cheese, and found it quite filling. Naturally, such a meal is not that healthy. But if a good bagel with tofu cream cheese is what you have a craving for, this place will fit the bill.

Pros: Good bagels and tofu cream cheese.

Cons: Not particularly health oriented.
