Brick Oven Bialy Breakfasts on the Upper West Side
Freshly baked specialties meet a very small dining area at this historic 72nd Street shop.
🥯 Built Around the Bialy
At the Upper West Side outpost, mornings focus on brick oven bialys, bagels, and breakfast sandwiches at 270 West 72nd Street. Specialty spreads, smoothies, and brews from La Colombe coffee widen the menu beyond a single classic order. A salmon pastrami bagel with avocado is the standout menu example, and build your own options let you set the stack your way.
Plan for a quick stop, or carry the order toward nearby Central Park. The counter is quick, though the dining area is very small, and lines frequently form outside, while the ordering process moves at a fast pace. Speak up clearly, know what you want, and expect many guests to take their sandwiches out.
Doors open at 6 AM every day. The shop closes at 7 PM Monday through Saturday and 5 PM on Sunday. That early start, the compact room, and the wide spread selection make this a focused Upper West Side breakfast run.
