Why go

This $ diner draws praise for a casual, carb-forward lineup: bagels, sandwiches, latkes, babka, cornbread, and coffee. Google has it at 4.4 stars from 209 reviews, with reviewers calling out the busy shop, kind staff, and standout iced latte.

The strongest signal is the backyard. Multiple reviews mention the garden or patio as a reason to linger, with one calling it relaxing and another noting plentiful outdoor seating plus a fireplace. Expect a cute, trendy bagel-and-sandwich stop that can get crowded; one reviewer reported a 15-minute Saturday noon wait for an everything bagel with schmear.

Best Iced Latte I had in NY. I’ve tried the hot and cold salmon Bagel, which was good too, but not 100% my taste. Staff is kind and the shop is always busy. I wish ive tried more of their pickled ingredients and other sandwiches but I was just visiting. Don’t miss their garden…

I have tried almost all the highly regarded bagels in NYC and Gertie’s is now in my top 5. My everything bagel had the most seedy crust I’ve seen in a while and it was so fluffy with the perfect hint of sweetness. Their sandwiches all sound so amazing and unique and the latkes…
