Bagels Restaurants near Central Islip, NY

“Coming from someone who lived in city I had my good share of Breakfast sandwiches. Long story short moved to central islip after meeting my wife and been coming in here ever since . Ofcourse you may find better but these are good ppl with good service and the sandwiches hit every time !!“

“We had stopped coming to this bagel location. Because the bagels were anemic and tasteless, it had gone down quickly. Well, it's back, my favorite bagel place has a new update. Bagels are terrific again.I no longer have to drive twenty minutes to get a great bagel when I can get one 5 minutes from my house. If you stopped coming to this bagel store, come back and try it again.“

“BEST BAGEL "DELI" IN AREA . FRESH FOOD, POLITE STAFF. LARGE VARITY OF CHICKEN SALDS PLUS BURGER PLATTERS AS WELL. FRESH MADE SALADS AND THE BEST HOME FRIES ANYWHERE !!!“

“One of my favorite bagel cafes on Long Island and easily the best place in East Northport. They have a great selection, some highlights include egg, egg everything, tidied, everything, garlic, and salt bagels. Their lox cream cheese is amazing! This place is always busy for a reason so get here early.“

“Bagels are always fresh. They have a great selection too. The Rye is my favorite!!!“

“The young man working here was very accommodating and made me feel welcome. He put together two sandwiches for me that were delicious; an egg everything bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomato and onion to share. Came with a side salad. Chose the cucumber salad which was fantastic. Was so good I decided to try a Greek omelette on a sesame oat bagel. Excellent as well. Prices reasonable and not ridiculous like other places. Proof that how friendly and helpful you are to customers makes a huge difference.“

“Bagels are always hot and fresh.
Cream cheese is just right!
Friendly fast service. One negative the lot is small and often gets congested and Hunter Ave is too busy to safely park on, very busy intersection. Businesses on all 4 corners.“

“very good product and service.“

“We were so excited to see a Brendel's in Selden! We would travel to the Hauppague location because it's our favorite bagel/breakfast/lunch spot. Now, we get the same fresh, delicious options closer to home. The decor is beautiful, store is always spotless (bathroom is the cleanest public restroom I've ever seen!), staff is always so friendly and welcoming. I even tried the acai bowls and smoothies too and they were delish! Cream cheese options are endless and salads always fresh and delish! (My hubs loves the macaroni and my faves are the slaw and the Greek pasta salad). Highly recommend you visit Brendel's and see for yourself! 🥯 ☕ 🥪 🥤 🍳“

“Food is always fresh soup is absolutely amazing homemade delicious friendly service highly recommended“

“I recently visited this delightful bagel shop and was thoroughly impressed! The bagel sandwiches and croissants were absolutely delicious. My son said it was the best bacon, egg and cheese sandwich he’s ever had. The staff is super friendly as well. I highly recommend this bagel shop!“

“I must say this place brought there bagel game! Bagels are delish! Nice to have another bagel spot in town. Welcome!“

“If you’re in the East Northport area, and you’re looking for a real bagel, this is the spot! It’s a gem! A whole in the wall, mom and pop, old school shop, with a lack luster sign, in a tiny parking lot, makes this place easy to miss, but don’t miss it!! I’ve been getting my bagels from here for about 8 years, and it’s always been consistent.
After living on the Queens border for many years, I was shocked after moving to East Northport that many bagel shops in town don’t really make bagels. They make donut shaped bread. And most locals are so accustomed to eating this donut shaped bread, that they actually have no idea what a real bagel should taste and feel like. It’s strange. Or maybe locals settle for a less-than delicious bagel, so they can sit in a trendier setting, which I also find weird. But, I digress.
The point of all of that is to say that at Stuff-A-Bagel, you will get the closest thing to an authentic city bagel that I have found anywhere in this general area. Yes, I have tried every bagel shop in East Northport, Northport, Greenlawn and Commack. And none of the ones locals brag about even compare to this one.
When you visit Stuff-A-Bagel, your bagel will be perfectly cooked, slightly toated and “al dente” on the outside, while nice and doughy on the inside. It will have that “pop” that a bagel should. (If you know, you know.) Their bagels are delicious and addicting! Also, their cream cheese tastes homemade, as every bagel store’s should be. If you’re not making your own cream cheese, are you even a bagel store? (Tangent again, sorry.)
Also, the owners here are such lovely people. They are warm and welcoming. They value getting to know their customers, which is a rare thing nowadays. Their prices are fair, and they’ve thrown in a few freebies a couple of times, when my order was larger. And, they keep the line moving. You never have to wait long for your order. I cannot say enough about how wonderful their customer service is. Warning to those who do not like kindness and socialization: (as a previous reviewer stated) you may feel an unfamiliar feeling to interact with your fellow man. But it’s okay. You can do it.
Stuff-A-Bagel is delicious! Next time you’re on Larkfield, driving by, stop in and see for yourself. Better yet, next Saturday, grab your weekly dozen from there! When it comes to bagels, THIS is a place that people should be talking about!!!“

“Wally’s Bagels is hands down the best bagel spot around! The bagels are always fresh, perfectly chewy, and have just the right amount of crisp on the outside. They have a fantastic selection of flavors and spreads, from classic cream cheese to more unique options.
The staff here is also friendly and efficient, even during the morning rush. Whether you’re grabbing a quick breakfast or enjoying a leisurely brunch, Wally’s creates a welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Everything I’ve tried here has been amazing! They even make their own ice cream, which you definitely need to try. The staff are super friendly, and the owners are right there running the place themselves. It’s a true family business and honestly just perfect.“

“I ordered through doordash; The custom options I chose for the egg sandwich were on point. The hero roll was just right (fresh and not too hard or dry) Having breakfast food delivered can be iffy (at your own risk) but the Hungryman I ordered from Bagel City Co. was excellent, best I've had since moving to the Smithtown area.“

“Their breakfast sandwiches have to be the best on the island. The two staff were incredibly efficient & got through orders quickly. I don’t often review, but had to to make sure I remember to come back here next time I’m in the area.“

“Just had a chicken cutlet sandwich on a roll with tomato, lettuce, cheese, bacon and a special homemade spicy sauce. The best sandwich ever!!! Please try it! You will love it!“

“Best bagels in town ! Customer service is awesome ! Please give them a try you won’t be disappointed!“

“hubby's in there now buying bagels and cream cheese“

“Wish I knew about them sooner! !! I would have gone there for years! They should open one by us in kings park! !“

“I ordered egg salad, lox spread and scallion cream cheese with a dozen bagels for the office. Everything was delicious and fresh. The new owner Sabira is so friendly and really makes sure you are being taken care of. The bagel store is so clean and they are really organized. We are so happy to have such a great place for bagels in town!!“

“Super friendly service, the BEST bagels on Long Island and a warm, cozy "greasy spoon" atmosphere - Avenue Bagels has the small town charm so hard to find these days. Always clean and comfortable if you choose to sit in and stay, it almost feels like hanging out at a friend's house - my mom and dad (Bob Walsh and Margie Holly Walsh go whenever they can - and they sold me, too. Avenue Bagels is the BEST! <3“

“Order a dozen from Ohio. Fast and Great! Thanks“

“A review recently said they didn’t have the cream cheese but i went about 2 weeks ago and they had plain and veggie. They helped me know which bagels had egg too. Funny the bagels without spread seemed a bit stale but the one made w the cream cheese was fresher and we enjoyed w the tofu veggie cream cheese“

“I've always been going to this location due to its convenience but now that it's under new ownership this year, not only is it better but you get more for your dollar. The prices now are actually better than they were under previous management. Great combinations for breakfast or lunch, many fresh cream cheeses and bagels/flagles. I highly recommend this location. If you cannot find it, go right past the Walgreens if you are heading north on Terry and turn where it says massage envy because it is easy to miss. If you hit Maureen's, you went too far north. It will be on your right.“

“It’s my favorite breakfast sandwich spot. You can text in and have ready usually by the time you get there. They are always busy which is a good thing. I love this place and the staff there. Chris, the owner’s son, is really nice and has a good personality.“

“They opened for me after hours so I could get my birthday cake! It was amazing!!“

“My daughters and I travel from Smithtown for the best bagels and coffee. Love the warm and friendly atmosphere and everyone gets treated like family!!“

“I had one tall looked, he appeared to be Spanish, that had NO clue what I was trying to order.
I have to repeat it three times and he still didn't get it right! The woman behind me was shaking her head and disbelief.
He never gave me a fork and knife, so I had to get up from the table and go get that. Then I told him for toast lightly toasted and he burnt it so bad, you could snap in half like a cookie.If I ever DO go back there, I will make sure that he does NOT take my order.“

“If you’re from the area, you already know. And if you’re not—let me put you on. JeJoJo Bagels is THAT spot. From the second you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, warm, and just real. It’s not one of those rushed, cramped places where you grab a bagel and run. There’s actually room to sit, chat, and enjoy—like the Sunday morning ritual we all deserve. And the food? Let’s talk about it. The bagels come out warm, fluffy inside with just the right crunch on the outside—the kind that makes you close your eyes for a second on the first bite. Whether you’re a classic bacon egg and cheese lover or you go rogue with lox and scallion cream cheese, every bite hits. The crew behind the counter? Terrific people. They know their regulars, keep things moving, and still manage to smile like they’re genuinely happy to be there. That energy matters. JeJoJo’s has officially become my Sunday morning cheat meal haven. I sit, sip my coffee, tear into a hot bagel, and let the world slow down for a minute. It’s more than a bagel shop—it’s a little pocket of comfort.“

“Do not go was best best place for a sandwich one day got a egg sandwich with 2 hairs in it Talk to the boss nicely he gave me money back and said don’t call back to the store his name was paul“

“The best place for bagels and food!!! The friendliest staff!!!!“

“I lived in Sayville, not far from Always Bagels. In fact passed right by it eeveryday on my way to work and never knew it was there. Now I live in Maine and ask any New Yorker what the miss most and New York bagels will be in the top 3. Here in Bridgton ME we found my favorite pumpernickel bagel at Food City. WOW, a GREAT BAGEL!!! Shared how these bagel were as good as the best bagels I had on Long Island, NY. Complimented Food City on their Great bagels. Never thinking to look at the label...Bohemia, NY. LONG ISLAND BAGELS!!! THE BEST!!! The thing I missed most is right here in my quaint Maine town. THANK YOU ALWAYS BAGELS...YOU ARE TRULY THE BEST BAGELS!!!“

“I love this place, much better than other delis in the area. However, they are a bit more pricey than the others. Bagels are always delicious and the staff are always friendly and kind. One big reason this isn’t a 5 star review is because the staff do not change their gloves regularly. They will touch cash, the register, other things around the store, and then go touch your bagel. Disgusting! Either have 1 hand for food and the other for money or just change your gloves between orders.“

“Since I was in the area, I noticed this was the only bagel shop nearby. I originally just stopped in because I was craving a coffee, but the place looked really nice so I decided to order my infamous breakfast sandwich. I’m glad I did! The sandwich was comforting, filling, and definitely hit the spot. The bagel was fresh and everything tasted great.

If I’m ever back in the area, this would definitely be the spot I’d go to again. 👍🥯☕“

“Called last minute for 9 dozen bagels to take to a team breakfast. Bari and her team got it done, bagged everything for freshness and the lacrosse team were so thrilled with their bagel breakfast! Best tasting bagels around and family owned and operated. Love it!“

“I definitely recommend it to everyone, the store is so clean and food is amazing ! Noor is absolutely amazing too! She’s always so sweet, hardworking, and full of positive energy. No matter how busy it gets, she stays kind and helpful to everyone. You can tell she really loves what she does — she’s the heart of this place! Thank you, I think this store will be my sec home now 😄“

“awesome french toast bagals are big and soft tast amazing, the smoothie are great and there cookies are great bacon tasty .“

“My family has been getting breakfast from this place ever since we’ve moved here 8 years ago and almost everything we’ve got were delicious. The bagels are soft and warm, you could choose from all different types of cream cheese and the breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I would highly recommend the Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich which is my favorite item and it’s unbelievable. I definitely recommend going here and you’ll most likely not be disappointed.“

“near where i work i think? gonna check it out!“

“Awesome food. Awesomer people. I know its not a word but says it all“

“I absolutely love the attention to detail, the care and love of food that these chefs prepare. Love the surprise of not knowing what you get. They work with dietary restrictions.“

“The best jelly donuts on LI for sure. Dunkin’ Donuts doesn’t even put an ounce of jelly in theirs. They put in 1/2 cup! Yummy! Their bread is of Arthur Avenue quality. The service is excellent and friendly conversations flow easily. A nice young man “paid it forward “ today and paid for our order. Thanks again to that wonderful customer!! Now it’s our turn to do the same! Run don’t walk to Prestano bakery In Ronkonkoma.“

“from the moment i walked in i was greeted by a wonderful lady with her bright beautiful smile while she was multitasking and taking care of customers so politely and patiently it really made my entire day because i was having a really bad day and decided to treat myself to a delicious fresh bagel and hot coffee and when i left there i could not stop thinking of the pleasant lady with the hat on and gorgeous nails and her beautiful skin just inspired me so much and i will be back to treat myself again one day and i hope i see that hard working lady again with that beautiful smile thank u for hiring her shes a wonderful asset to your company…i cannot remember her name when i asked her but i do believe it begins with an S and i hope she gets the recognition she deserves“

“Here's a review of Bagel Hero in Oakdale, NY based on My experience:
Bagel Hero - A Heroic Breakfast Experience!
If you're looking for a reliably good breakfast in Oakdale, Bagel Hero seems to hit the mark! You had a fantastic experience with their Hungry Man Hero, getting it just the way you like it. It's always a win when a place nails specific requests, and they clearly did with your order: toasted on both sides, perfectly runny over-easy eggs, and that extra kick of raw onions.
Beyond the customized order, I highlighted a few key things that make Bagel Hero stand out. Silvia helped me, quick and easy service is a huge plus, especially when you're looking to grab a bite on the go. And knowing it's a clean place definitely adds to the appeal.
It sounds like Bagel Hero earned a loyal customer with this visit! What other breakfast spots in Oakdale have you tried?“

“Highly recommend the catering package - made my holiday very easy and enjoyable! Ordering was easy, food was delicious, and pickup was a breeze. Everybody was very happy and not salty, greasy, or heavy!!!“

“This place is absolutely 10/10 I mean this little hidden gem was such a delight! I will be returning every chance I get!!! Don’t sleep on this place, it’s the perfect “mom & pop” feeling location. Feels like home! Vibes are on point and the food is so good it should be illegal! As a local guide who travels to every state every random food spot, today did not disappoint at all! Truly a life changing experience. Times are hard and business is slow for us all, let’s show support by enjoying good food with great company and let’s all share a laugh or 2!“

“I highly recommend the Hot Onion steak sandwich...loved the lox bagels but that one with the jalapeños rules!!!“

“I've been going here since 2016! Consistently a very solid establishment. Quick friendly service, and good bagels! I have honestly never seen so many petty and dramatic low reviews for a store before, reading some of them genuinely gave me a headache. This is a respectable small business that has stood the test of time and I will continue to be a repeat customer.“
