New Bagel (and Coffe shop?) opening on 37th and 4th

There is a huge wooden enclosure covering a shop site on 37th and 4th. Upon closer inspection by moi, it is slated to be a bagel shop. I hope its not a fast food bagel place, but someplace where you can actually sit and drink coffee.

Does anyone know for sure whether its going to be a bodega style bagel place or a nice cafe that you can sit in?

what i'd love down there is a place you can buy coffee without charging a fortune. the grimer corner deli near where i work (36th/3rd) charges $2 for a large coffee. that's 50 cents more than the coffee at the fancy deli i hit when i'm in the manhattan.

I hope we aren't gonna have a bagel store/coffee store overload...

that subway on 33rd and 4th needs to become something soon...been gated shut for months

there's that new place that finally, finally opened on 3rd between 36/35 (i think)... kosher pizza, felafel, knishes

I agree! The shittiest coffee is served in these parts and they charge Starbucks prices for it. My best coffee adventure is Roots Cafe on 17th and 5th, but its a hike from where i live. So I just amble over to Dunkin Donuts
on 35 and 3rd

dunkin` donuts is the best coffee you'll find from there. i'm not a big fan.

the kosher place is new, lots of seats, but very bright. certainly not great ambiance

looks like the wood partitions around the first floor are gone, has anyone passed by and taken a look inside to see what it might look like?

I have looked now that the wood partitions are gone. It looks like there may be MINIMAL seating. The store has a "tiny deli with bright lights" look to its interior so far, but who knows when they finally finish it. I am hoping at least that they may have excellent coffee. I have been sorely disappointed about the coffee options in this nabe. I know latin americans are FAMOUS for their coffee, but all the places I have been to: (mexican, venezuelan, peruvian, and dominican) have ALL had shitty coffee.

I've had decent coffee luck (although I usually make it at home due to my cheapness). If you don't like it super sweet, just say so. There's a place on 7th and 47th(?) called Los Brothers that has good coffee IF you get it fresh.

I've also had good coffee at various 5th Ave bakeries.

looks like its going to be called Jerry's Bagels... the signs promises hand-rolled bagels... we'll see soon enough

Just so they boil them after hand rolling them

I walked by today and it was doing brisk business. Anyone been?

Subject: Jerry's Bagels

Yeah. I have been in. I cannot vouch for their bagels cause I haven't eaten any yet, but their salads are pretty yummy and their coffee is to DIE for! Their hazelnut is super flavorful and strong

Its clean in there and nice. No seating area, too bad. It would have been nice to have a coffee shop around these parts.
