Master Critic Review

Modern Bread and Bagel 8.6
Upper West Side (Central)
Modern Bread and Bagel is a 100% gluten-free, kosher bakery-café where bagels, cinnamon buns, and pastries are made with serious technique rather than marketed as substitutes. The Upper West Side location doubles as a brunch and lunch spot, with baked goods, sandwiches, and breads that draw both gluten-free diners and everyone else.
Must-Try Dishes: Gluten-Free Bagels, Cinnamon Bun, Chocolate Babka Loaf
