Zip Picks reports that 'the line can be practically out the door even at 1:00 on a Saturday' at Bagel Boy, though staff keep the line moving efficiently. Weekday peak waits are shorter: Zip Picks cites 5-10 minutes during weekday lunch rushes, easing outside that window.
Yelp reviewers corroborate the weekend crowding, noting the shop 'gets so crowded on the weekends but they have so many workers, the line moves quickly.' The consensus across both sources is that lines are long but rarely stagnant, with early morning recommended for the freshest bagels.
