Liberty Bagels
Liberty Bagels was founded in 2018 with a simple goal: to preserve and celebrate the art of the authentic New York bagel. What started as a single, rustic shop has grown into a multi-location NYC brand known for traditional, hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels made fresh daily, using time-honored techniques and top-quality ingredients.
We’re proudly known as the home of the Rainbow Bagel and the Liberty Bagel, alongside a full lineup of classic New York bagels, iconic NYC breakfast sandwiches, signature bagel combinations, premium cream cheese spreads, and freshly brewed coffee. Each Liberty Bagels location reflects the neighborhood it serves—ranging from our original Midtown shop’s quintessential old-school feel to high-energy Manhattan locations and community-focused Queens roots.
As we’ve grown, creativity and culture have become part of our identity. From viral bagel display walls to our one-of-a-kind Statue of Liberty mosaic made entirely from recycled real bagels, Liberty Bagels blends tradition with innovation while staying true to NYC’s spirit. Whether you’re a lifelong New Yorker or visiting for the first time, Liberty Bagels delivers a fast, friendly, and unmistakably New York bagel experience—every single day.

Liberty Bagels has quickly gained a reputation for its authentic old-fashioned hand-rolled kettled boiled New York-style bagels, made on premises. The shop’s dedication to using high-quality ingredients and traditional techniques sets them apart from the competition.
Over the years, Liberty Bagels has become an integral part of the local community. Winning number one bagel shop in Manhattan for their everything bagel and scallion cream cheese. They continue to be a staple in the New York City food scene, offering a taste of tradition and a slice of authentic bagel culture. For bagel enthusiasts and anyone looking for an unforgettable New York City experience, Liberty Bagels is a must-visit destination.
