JK Bakery

"Great bagels! They're always fresh and still warm to the touch. The owner is nice and no nonsense, just the way I want it. She will also sometimes give you some extra bagels when you buy a dozen or so, especially if she knows you're a teacher. Lately through the years, this bagel shop has scaled down alot because of the owners health. I hope it stays in production because these bagels are delicious!!!!"

"This place by far hands down the best bagels in town. The place is not pretty with 100s of different cream cheese spreads and 100s of different bagels all in baskets. So don’t be looking for anything extra here. Just the classic bagel with plain cream cheese or even everything bagel with cream cheese. Chefs kiss. It’s crispy on outside and doughy on inside. When you compare a classic plain bagel with plain cream cheese, guarantee you it’s better than utopia bagel, bagel boss, and ess-a-bagel. For real."

"Absolutely the best bagels anywhere. Nice crunch on the outside. So soft and chewy on the inside. Used to get 2-3 dozen to freeze. Haven’t been able to visit as much recently after moving but still the perfect bagel as it’s always been. The owner works super hard and has always been kind to our family."

"Excellent bagels. They are chewy and big. Only disappointment is the cream cheese. It serves Kraft Philadelphia brand which isn’t my favorite. BTW it’s cash only."

"My son recently moved in down the street from JK Bakery and said "Dad. You have to try this place. They have the best bagels". Now, I grew up around Tuckahoe, Yonkers and NYC. I've had a lot of great bagels in my life. I never thought.. "you know where great bagels are made? Flushing." But it turns out that is exactly where they're made. I live in upstate NY now - near Albany - and it's tough to find a good bagel here. But the ones from JK in Flushing... Hearty but not super crisp and overdone on the crust. Chewy on the inside. Not really big, and not small. And the flavors - you know a good bagel when you don't have to toast it. And these definitely didn't have to be toasted. I asked for a dozen. Six sesame and six onion. You get three more said the lady behind the counter. Cinnamon raisin I said. Oh, those are the best, replied the lady. Water bagels, she said. Look back there - those are the ones we're prepping today for tomorrow. Fresh every day. I threw in a few extra for you. I got home and found 17 bagels in my bag. I think I had three of them the first hour after I got home. You don't go here for sandwiches or lox or whitefish salad. They don't have any of that. You go here for great bagels with great flavor. Anyway, if you can't tell - I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be going back there many times."
