#InauguralReview #TerrificTakeoutBrookyn #CourtStreetBagels by #AdamAlsoora #Bagels #181CourtStreet #Brooklyn
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know Adam and he came highly recommended to us by someone who achieved Peachy's Picks status and his business's culinary feats lived up to our food expectations! Remember, once in a Blue Moon Peachy actually does go to Brooklyn like when Paul McCartney had his exhibit there, but we couldn't meet Adam that day. So we spoke to him remotely before and after the review and he has bagels you must meet! This review was in the works for well over a year! We have been talking to Adam that long....
You KNOW they must be really something special if Peachy says you should go all the way to Brooklyn! Actions speak louder than words, readers!
The bagels are truly extraordinary and worth the trip, and if you take the green train it is only one stop beyond Manhattan. Pictures are unedited as always and the bagels you meet are uberfresh and really do look this gorgeous in real life. They don't even need hair and makeup and Adam Sr. tells us their human expert bagel roller is their secret to success. Adam Jr. told us that these exact bagels were baked thirty minutes prior; he can reference the cooking time on his phone. This is how important freshness is to them we can see!
Mohammed graciously greeted us and showed us he has the best social skills there of anyone -he takes pride in his work and is a six-year veteran he tells us- and Anjelica pleasantly and diligently took our order. Adam Jr. and Abe were delightful to meet later in the review.
There are a lot of bagel places that think they are great and rest upon their laurels that we do not waste our time with. It is shocking to us how many people must love to wait in line for a product that is hype without quality. This is not one of them because of the care of the owner and the quality of the food. This is our first and only visit so far so we hope they keep it up!
Adam took over as owner of Court Street Bagels on January 28, 2024 and he also owns Smith Street Bagels, so hold your horses until we get there. These are both in Brooklyn.
No, it's not a stop light.
Only pay attention to green since you have to GO!
Life is too short to not be drinking watermelon juice, particularly in July.
You're not going to find better watermelon juice in the five boroughs than this.
This is just what you need and will cool you down in this 100+++F humidity and you'll be Chillin like a Villain in no time as Peachy's friend that favors slang says. Of course, she says Chilling like a Villain because she is an Anglophile.
Of course, fresh orange SHOULD be the only thing in orange juice!
Note they make all juices fresh every morning.
You can obviously taste it.
Adam is making anyone that dares to serve us concentrated juices look not so good.
You are going to feel like a million bucks after drinking the Green Juice. It's truly amazing for your digestive system and completely refreshing. As much as we like coffee usually, you cannot beat having these juices with your bagel endeavors and they are a total must in your Court Street Bagels experience. It is too bad we don't want to go to Brooklyn every morning because these juices are that good.
The bagels are winners and in tandem these juices are totally spectacular and equally our favorite part of the review. We loved all three equally although probably the Orange Juice a little bit more because Peachy is a classicist. The fruit salad was also perfection and well-cut and fragrantly fresh. In particular, the flavor of the honeydew and strawberries was spectacular. We would like to see more salad ambitions here! Of course they did not scare Peachy with dressing because you know she likes all her salads au natural.
Meet the Lox Deluxe! Red onion, capers, salmon, and plain cream cheese strike a pose on an everything bagel, obviously fresh. Every bagel we ate here was perfectly fresh and we never want them toasted. Anyone trying to serve you toasted anything is more than likely serving you something less than fresh. This classic winner was adorably delicious.
Not all Tuna Fish is created equally.
Some is just superior.
The Tuna Melt might be Peachy's favorite. It was totally triumphant with provolone, onion, lettuce and sensational white albacore. Every bite was sophisticated savory flavors of victory.
You have to get this, if you like tuna fish.
And if you think you don't maybe you will after you try it.

Why on earth would you bother ever having Avocado Toast when you can have AVOCADO BAGEL?!!!! Elevated splendidly with incredibly fresh, flavorful salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, red onions and tomato as well, the superlative Brooklyn Way is a winner all-around. It reinvents the lox standard which is also delicious, and this edition is particularly coveted during the hot summer months we'd surmise.
The eggs are so spectacular here and in our experience they are among one of the best we've had recently. Everyone knows that Jacques Pepin uses The Omelette as a standard of one's ability. The Western Omelette hit the spot with its signature onions, peppers, tomatoes and mozzarella. We also loved the peppers and potatoes, in a chunky home fries presentation.
Finally, and Bethenny Frankel, this one's for you:
We absolutely loved the chicken salad!
Court Street Bagels really impressed us on our first visit and we can't wait to see what they do next.
Stay tuned for their social media developments here!
Court Street Bagels is at 181 Court Street in Brooklyn, New York!
