Today i went in with my last $20 and got 3 bagels and 2 Nedquick milks. Sadly i was over by 0.64 cents but the cashier was kind enough to round it down so i could pay! It might be because i come here very often, but it was very nice of them. They were about to throw out bagels so they gave me a whopping 10 bagels!! I wish i had more money cause I would definitely have tipped them more then I did. It's not just great customer service though, their bagels taste awesome! please go check them out they are so delicious read more

Disorganized and understaffed with long wait times and not great service. Bagels are decent but the sandwiches are very expensive for what you get. We placed an online order for a couple of chicken sandwiches and it seemed like we threw the staff for a loop by doing that. Order was 20 minutes late for pick up time but no one apologized - there were 10 people waiting a long time for their food on a Friday morning. The food really wasn't worth the wait or the price. Seems like this place might have some management issues. read more

The service was good, friendly staff. The place is clean for sure. Ordered a hungry man hero and was bummed to find that they never added the bacon, it was a decent sandwich but I just wish I got what I paid for! read more

Place is well maintained with lots of seating options and a big, broad menu. The staff were incredibly friendly. Most importantly, however, the breakfast box - a whole feast for $13 - is a fantastic deal and will keep me coming back. read more

We were in the area so my son could visit his old college and see some faculty for future endeavors. We arrived to the area early so I suggested we grab some brekkie before his appointments. We looked for a breakfast place and found LIBC. It was nearby by so we drove there, parked in their small lot on the side of a mall and walked in. They have a decent space and you can tell that they're very popular. There were many people dining inside as well as lots of people that came in to order take away. The menus looked really good. The first item I noticed was the Novalicious that is served on an everything bagel, with nova lox/belly, tomato, onion, cucumber and scallion cream cheese. It also comes with your choice of side. My son ordered this and had cole slaw on the side. The sandwich looked and tasted great but the cucumber slices were sliced pretty big. I opted to customize my order and got a whole wheat flagek with scallion cream cheese, lox, Dill, capers and red onion. It was perfect. I prefer falgels because sometimes a bagel is just too much, especially when you're adding stuff to it. My order also came with a side so I got their cucumber dill salad. It was not what I expected but tasted good. Everything they serve is made in house, even the bagels. The guy that served us told me they kettle cook their bagels which makes them stand out from the rest. The bagels are soft and fluffy and light. All of their cream cheese options looked amazing. They even have a bacon garlic variety. Their salads looks really good also. I was eyeing their chicken salad but couldn't buy since it would have been sitting in the car for a few hours. We wanted to come back before the drive home but time was not on our side. Hopefully I find myself in the area again and if so, I will definitely return for some stuff to take home. The service was very friendly and the food was really good. I'm jelly that the locals get this all the time. read more

I haven't really found a worst bagel store than this one. Long Island has some of the best bagel places around and stores abound...sometimes 3 to 4 in the same town. We ordered egg sandwiches which were just OK nothing to write home about. Being from Long Island we're used to flippant service at most Bagel stores...so to us the server's non caring attitude was OK...but the food! The egg sandwich does not come with coffee...lol it's expensive...we had a bunch of muffins which look great from behind the glass but were all stale and disgusting. We spent over $ 40 in all which was outrageously expensive and if the food would have been good, it may have been worth it...but it's not...this place is fake and what I mean by that is that it's bright and seemingly clean but it's all for show...its a facade! read more

Nothing like catching up with friends over some large bagels with delicious jalapeño vegetable cream cheese. Some have touted this restaurant as the best part of Long Island, so it's only right to see if it lives up to the hype. Food: I love a good bagel, especially with a flavorful shmear. Therefore, I ordered the rainbow bagel with vegetable jalapeño cream cheese. The bagels are sizeable and they offer almost every variety of bagel that I could list. Likewise, they had a wide variety of smears, cream cheese, and lox. I'm pretty sure there's something here for everyone, whether it be a egg and cheese on a bagel or sandwiches. However I did notice that the price was on the higher side for a bagel with cream cheese, but it definitely is worth it. Service: The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They are efficient and knowledgeable as they were able to serve a large number of people on a Sunday morning very quickly. The store is kept very clean, and I could tell it's because of the meticulousness of the staff. Ambience: the outside of the restaurant is very clean. The inside is also very clean and remind me of a deli type vibe. When I walked in, I noticed a large line of people waiting to get their food. The line went by really fast as the staff was able to quickly and efficiently manage orders. There was plenty of seating for our group, although some of the tables were not cleaned very well. Some of the seats also look like they were ripping, which might indicate their age. Other: Plenty of parking Plenty of options for vegetarian consumers read more

Service is always spotty. Not sure what they call having cream cheese in a bagel but this is a complete joke. See the picture read more

This spot is okay. The bagels and cream-cheese are good but I think there are many similar bagel shops at a lower price point. The cream cheese was nice and airy; not too heavy and too my liking. I would say the service isn't particularly nice. Ordering at the window was tough when they are busy and they are impatient (ex: my friend wanted an eggless bagel and the person by the counter took that question as a sign that she was not ready to order and got visibly frustrated for the additional time it took). Service is definitely also slow. read more

They could give a shit about you as a customer waited a half hour for the wrong order and then another 20 minutes for the right order which still wasn't right. I wouldn't come back here if it was the last bagel store around read more

Bagels & Egg sandwiches vary by day. Sometimes they're 5/5 & others are 2/5. Staff are friendly and the interior is clean. I'll return

Ordered three sandwiches and two of the three were wrong. Asked for tomato, confirmed tomato and well, no tomato on the sandwich. Asked for honey maple turkey and got bacon? I'm still trying to figure that one out. Place was empty, service was slow and I'm convinced the kid who took my order was new and made nothing but mistakes with my food. I'm annoyed and will surely not go back and deter my network to also stay away. $40.00 read more

Loved this place for years but went in 9/14 / 24 in a senior 63 only wanted a nice bagel w cream cheese took 30 year old daughter my bagel was $4,75 her w butter $3.59 I know inflation had no coffee What going on ... to pricy for me I'm done read more

GO-TO for your next BEC (bacon, egg & cheese). Great bagel store/lunch spot. Fluffy, warm bagels. Wide assortment to choose from. They have regular bagels, mini bagels, flagels, twists & even French toast bagels. Lunch sandwiches are also very good & generous portion sizes. However, one downside is that it usually takes a while on line/ to get your food. Pro Tip: txt in your order beforehand. read more

Ok... this place since new ownership has gone down hill. First things first, 3 egg sandwiches took over 30 mins to make. Mind you I usually wouldn't mind waiting so much but I was with my infant and toddler so waiting 30 mins for a sandwich was ridiculous. I then had to take my toddler to the restroom and it was a horror show, poop all over the toilet / bathroom. So unsanitary. I will not be going back, such a shame considering I've been coming to this bagel place for years. read more

This place used to be way better but not worth it any more. Foods not great people are even worse, not friendly at all. Go elsewhere

Unfortunately it wasn't warm, cheese not melted, bacon, eggs and hash browns ( they didn't have hash browns so home fries it was. No problem there at all. Ordered around 8:45. I figured I was getting a hot sandwich off the grill. Haven't been here in about 2-3 years. I'm not one to make reviews at all but after working 16 hrs to not have a warm sandwich at least is saddened. read more

Terrible experience--refused to accommodate food allergies and refused to spray and clean area of the grill where my food was being prepared. I have not had a problem in the past, however this time, the employee came out and told me I would "have to take my chances with my food allergies/bacon grease". Needless to say; I will not be returning, and suggest those with food allergies to do the same. STAY AWAY! There Plenty of other delis in the area that are happy to provide food safety (that only takes a minute) and that will take pride in their customer service. Bagel cafe in stony Brook clearly does not. read more

Extremely long line which is a good sign however not enough workers anytime I am there. The wait time is not conducive to a customer who is not retired. The food was OK nothing special and actually they messed up on part of my order each time I have been there which was two times. No longer going to this place. The kitchen staff does not speak English so I could not explain what was wrong with my order as I waited by the cash registers for almost 10 minutes. read more

Ok, I'm not used to getting something like this and extremely dissatisfied. Not with the bagel, (low carb). What do you see? This is cream cheese and lox spread that tastes like,,,,, cream cheese! Slight off white tint. I brought it back to the counter to ask was this really lox spread? Answer: sometimes there is more fish in it, sometimes there isn't. Tastes like plain cream cheese. Have another to go home with green olive spread. At least hopefully that will have taste. ETA: I just had that one olive one before. That olive spread one? Same crap. See nothing in it, not even pimento. Tasted like they put a little of the olive brine in it, and I do mean a little. Worker came by asking (in general) how things were. I nicely explained. He said complain to manager. That I should complain if I don't like it. Of course I got up to do so. Original guy said he'd give me something else. Long story short, I got 1 of those little cups of another flavored cream cheese to add to my bagel. Everything cream cheese. My bad, you'd figure it would be flavorful,,, but my choice. No taste. Nope it's not me, lol. Bagel of course is delish. Sigh, I just wanted my lox taste! Per my ETA above. I give up. I'll get bagels from there, but no more spread. I have to add, when this location first opened, not as LI Bagels, owner was from Brooklyn like me. By where I lived and hubby worked. Great, great place. Originally would stay open late, but sigh, it is not like Brooklyn. He ended up shortening store hours til he sold. And this place was good. Each time I go something is up. Just go for bagels period and your ok. Even bought one packaged cake by counter, not theirs, commercial keto cake about 2 weeks ago. Opened it and it was moldy. But still, that was $3.99 down the drain. I've better luck with Bagel Gallery in Smithtown. No low carb bagels there but at least open 24/7. read more

My wife and I go to the LI Bagel Cafe Rt 347 in Stony Brook on a Sundays around 1:00 pm after church services. The selection of bagels is poor...most baskets empty, only one or two types of bagels available. The food in the refrigerated section behind the glass is covered with clear cellophane. Coffee is either out or cold. The hospitality there is not good...not friendly. We were at Bagel Cafe this past Sunday Sept 15, 2024 1:00 pm and as the young girl on the register was ringing up two bagels with cream cheese for us, I asked what time they closed. She said 3 PM. I stated you are open for another hour and a half and there isn't any coffee in the urns. I commented about the coffee two times. She apologized and said she has nothing to do with the coffee. At that time, an older man (possible owner/manager) was taking money from the cash register listening to the conversation. As I was turning away from the counter, the man with an annoyed voice said: "You want coffee, I'll make coffee for you." I said not to bother. My toasted bagel was warm and I did not want to wait for a pot of coffee to brew. It should be hot and available. WE WILL NOT BE RETURNING THERE. Too bad because the bagels are pretty good. read more

If we had this store in Nevada or California, I'd be fat based upon our one visit. The service was fun and friendly. The area clean, light, and airy. The value was excellent and the food fresh and tasty with an abundance of choices including many salads in addition to the sandwiches and bagels. This was one of the best of many bagel establishments I've sampled and quite frankly puts the large chains we have in California to shame. read more

If I wanted a stale & chewy bagel, I would just get the bagels from the grocery store. I went to Bagel Cafe in the morning around 10am for breakfast. There wasn't a line but there were some people sitting inside. I got a mini everything bagel from here. I got a look from the cashier for getting a bagel with nothing on it. I didn't come here for frills, I just wanted a good bagel. The everything seasoning and the flavor was fine. The bagel itself was awful! I think I injured my jaw trying to bite off a piece of that one. They didn't have any fun bagel flavors. I don't recommend Bagel Cafe. There are better bagel options in the area. I don't see myself coming back here. read more

Stopped in for breakfast, 2 people standing and waiting, 2 employees behind the counter. I walk up to register ready to order, stood there for 5 minutes without acknowledgment. Person standing and waiting voices complaint they have been waiting a while for their order, now both employees and the short order cook are looking over the ticket, the small bag and trying to figure out the order. Gave it another minute and then left. Thank goodness McDonalds is next door, walked over and grabbed a McMuffin not what I wanted but they made it quick and had me on my way. Try and help the small local businesses but they seem to not want the business. read more

Service is incredibly slow and while waiting I saw a guy picking stuff out of one of the cream cheese bins and when I asked the girl who told him about it she miraculously didn't know what he was picking out, so Idk if it was a bug or what but that's the last time I'll be going there. If they were honest about it I wouldn't have cared as much but since she wasn't honest it must've been something gross. It's worth going a little further for blvd bagels on Smithtown blvd. read more

Bagel places are on every corner and strip mall on Long Island so it's pretty hard to stand out and this place does: excellent bagels and spreads. They also have a wide variety of sandwhiches, snacks and drinks. And they have some great throwback drinks including Orangina and Yoohoos (sorry for the spelling). Service is great, though it can be a bit delayed if you're there during a rush. Clean somewhat large space to eat in the deli if you wish, but they also pack up the take-out well by wrapping warm sandwiches and bagels in foil and cold sandwhiches in a nice container with their side salad of your choice. read more

We walked in on a Saturday afternoon to order bagels, spreads, fruit platter and mini-muffins for Sunday morning delivery to Lake Grove. The order was less than $100 but the manager and staff treated us and the order as if it was over $1000! On-time early morning delivery went to family who had laid their mother to rest the previous day. They raved how fresh and delicious everything was. Thank you Bagel Caf read more

It's says they close at 4pm. I came here at 326pm and the doors were locked and they weren't letting anyone else in. Update your hours if you're going to lock the doors earlier. read more

Way overpriced. Felt like I was robbed after leaving there. Egg sandwich doesn't come with coffee. Omelette that are $9 (no protein) doesn't come with a bagel anymore. Meanwhile my omelette was more peppers/onions then actual eggs. Place used to be so much better. read more

This is the place to get a warm bagel in the morning. They are always consistent and delicious. If you get cream cheese and butter it can be a little pricey. It smells like a good old fashioned bagel shop. They have a thing where you can text your order and then pick it up if you don't want to wait. The service is usually pretty quick. read more

Typical Long Island bagel store: good bagels, good coffee, nice set up, efficient service, ample seating. What more could you really ask for? They have a lot to choose from for breakfast and lunch as well as deli-type options like sandwiches and wraps but I'm not a huge fan. Nothing to rant and rave about (I've had better bagels - pretty sure it's impossible to get a bad bagel on Long Island) but if you're looking for a quick, decent breakfast, this is a good choice. I stop in here every now and again and I've never had any complaints. read more

It's 1pm on a Saturday and this place doesn't close till 8pm and yet you have one person vacuuming and another person mopping up the floors. The stench from the floor mop is absolutely disgusting while I'm trying to eat my food. The loud vacuuming is disturbing and pointless. There is no mess on the floor. Are you bored? Why can't this wait til closing to do this? Absolutely horrible dining experience. read more

Staff was slow, the food sucked and then it was $29 for two bottles of ice tea, a turkey club, and a bagel. Tremendous rip off.

Fantastic bagels and service. We love their food so placed a large order for a breakfast meeting. They went out of their way with a beautiful presentation and good food. Mike D. Is a consummate professional and all around nice guy. read more

Great service! Good bagels and salads. The bagels are "puffy" . Sunflower bagels could use more sunflowers seeds. Wide variety of snacks drinks and bakery items. read more

The food was good but they got a couple of things wrong. Ordered two bagels to go, One with butter and one with vegetable cream cheese. Repeated vegetable cream cheese a couple of times and they still gave us two bagels with butter, we didn't realize it till we got back to the hotel. Also had to go back up to counter because they forgot to give me my muffin to go that was paid for. Also a mistake was made on my check which they promptly corrected. If you go there just double check everything to make sure your order is correct, especially if you're taking anything to go read more

The service in this place sucks! sooo slow. was online today for over 30 min to get 5 bagels (that's it) The manager or owner is terrible and rude. He let people go to front to get and pay for coffee and with a massive line he was just fixing the counter top rearranging items on display. I said something and he was super rude. will not go back. read more
