H&H Bagels in Upper East Side, NY
Your Upper East Side Go-To Bagel Spot
H&H Bagels on the Upper East Side is your neighborhood cornerstone for legendary New York flavor. Located at 1551 2nd Ave (at 81st St), our shop sits right in the heart of the UES, serving as a daily gathering spot for locals and commuters, or anyone else chasing the real deal. From the morning rush to the mid-afternoon coffee run, it’s the kind of place that feels like classic NYC: busy and energetic, but always worth the stop.
Our bagels are world-famous for a reason. Since 1972, we’ve used a time-honored recipe and traditional kettle-boiled method. The result? That signature crunch on the outside and a chewy center inside with the kind of freshness you can taste immediately. If you’re searching for bagels on the Upper East Side, this is where the tradition lives.
Beyond the bagels, we’re known for curated deli favorites: premium smoked fish, and a wide variety of house-made, artisanal cream cheese spreads. Pair it all with freshly roasted small-batch coffee or a classic NYC deli beverage and you’ve got a meal that hits every time.
