I was in New York for a weekend and stopped by Bagel Express on my way to visit a family member at St. Charles. From the moment I walked in, I was hit with that New York deli feel. The kind of place you just don't find anywhere else, especially not back home in Virginia Beach. The inviting feel when you walk in, the regulars chatting up the staff, the air filled with the wonderful smells of fresh bacon, baked bagels, and savory spices. For my order, I went with a classic sesame bagel with cream cheese. It was absolutely fantastic. Soft on the inside, perfectly chewy, and the cream cheese was delicious. My dad was craving something a little different, so he got a BLT with chipotle mayo and avocado on toast. He raved about it the entire meal, saying it was one of the best BLTs he's ever had. It came with macaroni salad and a pickle (which I obviously stole from him). Even though this was my first time at Bagel Express, since I'm not local to Setauket, the whole experience was great. The quality, service, and authentic deli experience are definitely worth a stop. I'm already looking forward to coming back the next time I'm in town. If you're anywhere near East Setauket or just passing through, don't miss out on this spot! read more

Somehow all the neighborhood bagel spots are closing, bagel express is still boiling those bagels. This place used to be called Fratellis Bagel, I guess Mamma Fratelli got chased out by The Goonies. They make a nice bagel, walking inside gives more of a deli vibe than a bagel spot. I ordered a B.E.C. with S.P.K. and they did a great job! The bacon ratio was good and I asked for a soft scrambled egg. They made a damn good BEC today. My normal spot was closed due to a water issue, I think Bagel Express made my breakfast choice rotation. Enjoy! read more

I frequent this place when I'm in town visiting my in laws and it's amazing. The bagels come out fresh and chewy, I don't even need to warm it up when I get home. My favorite is their everything bagel. I also love their garden vegetable cream cheese. And everyone is so nice and approachable here. read more

Rude guy at the counter. And the way you have ask for a cup so you can make your own coffee. That's enough for me. Bagel places are everywhere around here read more

The best bagel shop around. Dave the owner is alway so pleasant. Food always fresh. ....

Bagels are fresh & delicious. Great, customer service. If you have an issue with something, say something....don't hide before your screen.

A good bagel to me is one that is soft and chewy on the inside but the outside doesn't resist getting ripped off, and a heavy layer of cream cheese. I will say that while the bagels are nice and fresh and chewy, the exterior does put up more of a fight than I'm used to with other places (but mostly in the city). It was pleasantly warm the most recent time I got it but other times they haven't been as warm and less chewy. Also the layer of cream cheese isn't as thick as I'd maybe like and as for the scallion cream cheese, it was lacking in scallions. This place is a staple for Stony Brook students though and is a solid place to get your bagel fix. read more

Great friendly breakfast. I went in for breakfast combo for 10 and you get so much variety with amazing bagels.

Best bagels I've ever had. Egg everything was out of this world. Great ambiance and amazing staff.

Wanted to try something new and had a great experience. Music was nice, food was good and self serve coffee was great. Food was ready quickly. They have wifi so I was able to get some work done while enjoying the atmosphere. I will be coming back again. Owner was a nice guy and made me laugh with some of his jokes. read more

Fratelli's is my go to Bagel/ Egg sandwich place on Long Island. I normally stop by with Nicole when getting a quick brunch. They have egg sandwich cards which lets you get a free one after ten purchases! Also you get a free coffee or juice with a purchase of an egg sandwich. The owner and workers there are great people and have catered multiple Stony Brook events! For all you students, they accept wolfie wallet. Definitely check this place out if you get the chance read more

For Long Island, these bagels have got to be a joke. Along with 2 coffees, the total was $27. There's barely anything in the bagel! You can go to any store that's not this one and find a bagel that actually hits the spot. I don't know if it's just because they hire teens who don't know how to do it right but if you get the white girl with the cap it's clipped. AINT no way they run their business like this TBH. read more

Stopped in for a tuna on everything but surprised that they were still serving breakfast at 2p.m., so bacon, egg and cheese on a roll it is! Would I like the eggs over easy? That sounds perfect! Salt, pepper, ketchup on that? Yes please! Would I like to add a sausage patty? Why don't mind if I do! The sandwich and homemade iced tea were perfect. The place was clean, the price was fair, staff was friendly, and the owner was a super nice guy, had a very nice conversation with him. I'll be back the next time I'm on Long Island! read more

Bagel Express - 7.99 for an egg salad bagel. Where is the egg salad? - Bagels Near Me - East Setauket, New York

This place has really bad and slow service, I was completely ignored and coffee was awful, had to throw it away

Price for a bagel with cream cheese is $1.50 more than anyone else. And there was minimal cheese applied. Then for $4.62 he handed me $.35 and ignored the three Pennies owed. Not cool read more

Really bad. Worst coffee I've ever had. Asked for two eggs on a roll with cheese and salt and pepper. Enough pepper on there to choke horse. Disgusting! read more

YUM. Their bacon egg and cheese is the perfect comfort food - especially with all of the craziness going on in the world these days! Delicious food and an amazing staff- couldn't ask for more! read more

Perfect bagels! I loved the size, texture, taste and consistency. Will definitely come back!

This place has legit New York Bagels. We had to bring bagels back home to Hawaii and we're in search of authentic New York bagels to bring home. Theirs was fresh, soft, and chewy - just the way we wanted. After comparing to others on the neighborhood, we decided theirs was the best. We bought 4 dozen, stuffed them in our bags and gave them away to grateful friends in Hawaii craving a legitimate NYC bagel. read more

The ratio of bagel to cream cheese is appalling. The prices are not justified in any way.

This place was pretty packed for a Thursday morning when I visited. It's a large bagel store with a lot of seating. The service was quick and there was a ton of people behind the counter all working together to get the food out. I felt a little rushed when ordering and the employees weren't overly nice. I ordered 2 eggs with a side of bacon and iced coffee and it came to 8 something?! Way overpriced and they only gave 2 pieces of bacon. Probably won't be back here unless it's for convenience. read more

Honestly upset the last few times I have come to this spot my experience has been really poor. The prices are extremely high and the quality of the food is soooo low. Sad excuse for a sandwich especially when they are charging $8 each. I understand not every sandwich is going to be perfect but a little consistency and price when making food read more

Quality food all around. There isn't a better choice. I have had several of their sandwiches, and we're good. No complaints.

ordered chicken salad on a bagel!!! 11.99.. I get same thing at another local bagel store for $7.50 and the food is just as good. I added a muffin and soda and I paid $20.00!!! Ridiculous.. My fault for not paying attention to the price menu when I walked in.. But.... They should'nt be allowed to over charge so much!!! Never going back. read more

I pass this bagel store time to time and today, I was in the area and decided I would give it a try. As soon as you walk in, there was no greeting from the eight employees behind the counter. The store set up is different so I was unsure where to go to order. Somehow, this annoyed the employee behind the counter. I didn't see the bagels at first because they're very far off to the side, you can't see them unless you walk all the way down the counter. I politely inquired if any bagels were left. He scoffed and said you do know you walked into a bagel store, dont you? I ignored the rude comment considering it is my first time in the store and how could I know their store set up if it is my first visit and the bagel display is not fully visible. I proceeded to order an egg sandwich. I said everything bagel, bacon egg cheese, salt pepper ketchup, and the eggs over medium please. He cuts me off while I'm speaking and points out that I should say the way I want my eggs cooked at the very beginning of the order or they always assume they're fried. It seems stupid to mention but what?? Why does it matter what order I say it in as long as it is said? I've never heard that before and he went out of his way to say it with an attitude, like I'm bothering him. I ignored that comment as well. I was given a ticket and stood there for a second and the guy is mumbling under his breath to the other employees. Too early to deal with this so I stood by the front register. While waiting, my egg sandwiches were ready before the rest of my order, the guy asked what else I got and while I'm telling him, he cuts me off and asks the guy who took my bagel order because I guess I wasn't talking fast enough for him? The staff was extremely rude. I was blown away by how poor the customer service is. I was being given an attitude the whole time during my order FOR NO REASON AT ALL. I'm polite so I'm not gonna cause a scene but I was pretty shocked and uncomfortable the entire experience. And after dealing with all of that, he got the egg sandwich completely wrong, probably because he was too busy instructing me that I have to say the way I would like my eggs cooked first. I've worked in the food business for a little over six years now. I would never make snarky remarks or give a customer an attitude like that. Honestly, if I were you, I would avoid this place at any cost. Their food is not good enough for the attitude they give and it's not worth the grief. There's a ton of bagel stores in the area, go to another. This will be my first and last experience at this bagel store. read more

One star because the front counter staff is terrible. The owner is arrogant and so is his son that works there. Owner is buddy-buddy with some clients and will literally ignore all other clients around when his friends are there. They have made fun of the food I'm ordering a few times (I order bagels with no CC and put on my on dairy free CC because I have an allergy. Why do they care and make comments?!) Sometimes I'm charged $3 for a bagel with LTO and other times I'm charged $5, and a few times I've been charged $9. Bottom line - rude staff, inconsistent prices read more

I ordered an egg everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese. It was a basic order and was brought out pretty quickly. I ordered to go with my friend Kelly and we were in and out of the place in less than 10 minutes. The actual bagel was a decent size, there was a good amount of cream cheese which was delicious. There wasn't anything extraordinary about this bagel place or anything negative either so overall, this place was average, I will probably visit again. read more

$4.62 for a bagel with cream cheese almost $9 when I added a tea. I asked him if the amount was correct and they were offended. I've eaten a few bagels over the years and work in the city and never came close to $9 for a bagel and tea. Attitude and cost just make it not worth your time. read more

Have been to this place only twice. Never again. When my family was there the first time, they pretended they did not understand what we were saying. I guess we had to to speak Perfect English for them to understand. Or maybe louder. The cashier was holding his ears when talking to us. It was quite a show. Same thing happened the second time. Very rude. I was told at the end that they only take cash. They charged my card anyway when I told them I did not have cash on me. I think there will be other better bagel business offer better experience. read more
