We have been coming to this bagel joint for 50 years, even after we moved away we would return every visit for a dozen bagels to get our fix. But when we stopped by this trip, the place was open but under construction. Not that it didn't need to be redone as prior reviewers have shared the layout wasn't efficient. But sadly the bagels were nothing like they used to be. There was no bagel smell to the bag and while the consistency wasn't bad, they had no taste. We were here last year and they were still delicious, but this trip was so bad, we won't be returning. So sad.

A hidden gem for fresh bagels. Service isn’t great, but the food makes up for it

A staple in the community for ions! Great bagels and friendly service. They have the best breakfast sandwiches and excellent hot chocolate. Wish the door were a little easier to open, especially if you're coming in with a stroller. (It closes quickly and it's very heavy) Be prepared to wait because the service is quite slow!

Great hot bagels and delicious sandwiches! Everything and Sesame are our go to with cream cheese. I highly recommend this spot and the staff are always super friendly. There aren't too many family run businesses anymore on Long Island and the quality here shows. Highly recommend!!

Still a great deal for breakfast sandwiches. Good bagels and a variety of other options for breakfast and deli food. Always loved their hot chocolate!

One of the best bagel stores on Long Island. Super friendly staff, amazing bagels and fast service. Pricing is reasonable and they offer a cash discount which is nice. One thing I miss however is they had a fun little Sue Bird item on their counter honoring her (as she's a hometown sports legend) and in recent years it seems to have disappeared. I think they need to bring back Sue! lol
Parking: There are about 8 parking spaces right in front of the store and there is street parking available. Seeing as the place does mostly take out, it's usually easy to get a spot.
The egg sandwich was ok. The coffee is excellent-probably one of the best cups on the island. I will definitely go back.

Disgusting! A clump of animal hair cooked into my bagel. How did nobody see this?!
Ontop of this horrible experience, my entire order was completely wrong. The gentleman that helped me out had a blue shirt at around 1230, with long hair.

Hmm giving this place 3 stars due to the fact that customer service was friendly and followed and prices was very reasonable. However place needs to improvise to me. Long line wait only to get inside and see that it’s really just a horrible Set up they got going on. Makes no sense why they take orders from one little counter when they have so much space to allow more customers to come inside the store and not being waiting outside. Also because of the very small counter space it adds to customers being all on top of each other. the bagel was soft and tasted fresh. But BEC just wasn’t that good compared to others I’ve had. Coffee is solid and not to forget it came free with my order.
