Bagels Restaurants near East Northport, NY

“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.“

“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!!!“

“Just catered a lunch from there for 45 people and Tony did an outstanding job. Food was plentiful, fresh and delicious and the presentation was beautiful. I would highly recommend them.“

“I give Margie 5 stars. Do you know why? every time I pass by she's cleaning my coffee cup i feel happy having a cup of coffee in a place as clean as here. Her work is great. I like talking with her while I make my coffee. She always has a smile. My favorite place“
