Bagels themselves are pretty good. I usually got one with eggs or smoked lox whenever I went to get one. Do I think they're the best bagels I've ever had? Def not.. but for the price, it's pretty reasonable and their variety is good.. I gave 1 star though because the customer service is absolutely atrocious. Unless they truly know you personally as a customer and you're either their friend or inside their inner social circle, they're either neutral towards you or straight up treat you like garbage. And that's ridiculous considering we are all your customers at the end of the day, paying with our own money, and I had even been coming here on & off for 5+ years due to the location proximity. It's wild to think I would encounter high school-like cliques, as petty as they are, within a bagel store like this but here we are. An older male employee with glasses (who I now think may be the owner of the store?) gave me such an attitude, walked off mid-sentence when I was still ordering, and even had the audacity to throw my card back at me on the counter as if he was grossed out by either the card or me... If I was rude or doing anything offensive, I wouldn't even be complaining. It's the fact that I was politely waiting in line and then ordering normally just like any other person that makes me wonder what was going on with him that day or if his personality/customer service behavior is just regularly like that. On top of that, a few of my orders were missing items or not done according to how I had ordered it. Customer service, at least to me, inevitably makes up a huge part of the consumer experience and luckily for me, this place is nowhere near the only bagel store on LI. Needless to say, I will never be back anymore. read more

I've been going to Bagel Master for almost a year. The store has been a fixture in the community for over three decades. It has become part of my mine now also. I've never seen so much friendly interaction with customers here than any other business. Ever. I've always been happy with the service, but I'm equally impressed by their wide-ranging offerings. Their cream cheeses are amazing. Their fish and lox is of the highest quality and fresh daily. There is nothing like a perfectly heated bagel or even sandwich just how you like it. They're also always trying new things and creating a new dish or two. They'll have special menus for holidays. On the shelves, you'll also see items from local food businesses all over Long Island. Lastly but not least, personally my favorite part is the bits of sports decorations. Natives like Sue Bird and Adam Schefter have visited in the last month! There's just more than meets the eye with Bagel Master. It really is more than just a bagel store. read more

Great staff amazing bagels AND flagels. Local favorite NOT a fan of their coffee (it tastes pre sweetened and weak in my opinion) but i know many people who love it. Everything else is amazing. read more

I came back once more after my last time there, and you have earned a star back because the lox was finally up to par again, however two days ago my family and I had your bagels (plain) and they were salty! Your customer service team has improved, though it was slightly confusing with who exactly was helping me because two people were semi-working together. I almost made a double order because they were not well coordinated. Another peeve is that last year you used to have some of the best fresh squeezed grapefruit juice on the shelves. What happened with that? Now it's only OJ. Please bring back the goodness! I miss the enjoyment I had in the past coming to your breakfast-brunch-lunch venue! Hopeful eats! read more

Love this business! Their bagels are delicious! I especially love their tuna salad! (and I'm very picky about tuna salad) The owner is super nice and accommodating. I have an out-of-town relative who misses Bagel Master's bagels and specialty cream cheeses. He shipped a 'care package' overnight for us to her! So grateful! read more

Food: 3.5 stars Value: 5 stars Service: 4 stars decor: n/a Will I go back? Yes. Stopped in this place when I was in the area for a quick breakfast. Cheapest bacon egg cheese i've had on Long Island. And it was excellent. but then again how do you mess up a BEC? I was pleasantly surprised to get 2 eggs for the same price most other delis charge for 1. I even got it on a bagel. my total was cheaper than most other delis. Unfortunately, I don't live nearby, nor do I work nearby. So If I do go, it will be out of my way. But I will try. read more

I asked for a pizza bagel. I told him that I am allergic to onions and asked if there were onions in it. He said no. The cost for the bagel and diet coke was $9.82. I got into my car and while waiting at the red light I took two bites. Then I looked and before my next bite I saw two pieces of onions in the red sauce staring at me. This can be dangerous for people with allergies!! So I had to drive back (the cost of gas is not cheap) and returned the bagel and bottle of coke. I pointed to the onions in the tomato sauce. I told him to credit my card the full amount and gave him both items to throw away. I just checked my credit card statement. He credited me -$0.82!!! So I paid $9 for a bagel that contained something I am allergic to that they refused to credit me for. I refuse to pay for gas to drive back there again so I will file a dispute with the credit card. But this is not a way to run a business. They put my health in jeopardy. read more

Awesome bagels and flats and great service- willing and able to take on complex orders!

Awesome service and such a friendly staff! Food is consistently terrific. Not to mention how serious they take the pandemic. Every employee is wearing a mask. Great local spot that cares. read more

Went in to get a half a dozen bagels. Got 3 plain. one poppy, one sesame & one bialy. I ate the bialy once i got home, It was just ok nothing special. Tried half of the plain, It was about the same nothing special. The place has a nice area to sit and relax. There is a full selection of spreads and deli style items. People behind the counter were friendly and helpful. read more

Been coming here for years. Bagel Master is the best of the best! Bagels are always hot. All the salads are always fresh. We used them a couple times for family occasions for catering and they come as planned and hook it up everytime. You can tell the owner cares about quality because he's there everyday early morning for years making sure everything is running well. I appreciate that the quality has stayed consistent for years since I started coming. All in all solid joint, great selections of spreads. This good review has been coming for years, I finally left it! Thanks to all the Team at Bagel Master read more

Been open throughout tough times and served the community. It is tough on everyone these days, stay well and thank you for working during this time. - J read more

For the most part we have enjoyed our breakfast sandwiches. HOWEVER, we feel employees gloves should constantly be changed after handling money and credit cards. Investing in a couple more boxes of gloves would go a long way in customer appreciation as well as sanitary measures. read more

You learn more about a business when a mistake happens. Without getting into it, Bagel Master made a mistake today but when they found out... they corrected it right away. A one star review now a five star. Thanks, Happy New Year! read more

Bagel Master - Bakeries Near Me - Syosset, New York

If you want to get some of the best bagels on Long Island, just follow your local white girls to Bagel Master. Every single Syosset girl frequents this establishment before school for their bagel and iced coffee. I would definitely avoid coming here between 6:30-7:30 am or you will be consumed by them. They have a huge selection of bagels and flagels (flat bagels) as well as a deli case with cold cuts and other deli specialties. I will always order a flagel, becuase it gives you a nice crispy bagel and there is more surface area to add more toppings and help make better ratios between toppings and bagel. I ordered a whole wheat flagel with two eggs and cheese. That comes with either hot chocolate, coffee, or tea, I got a hot chocolate. The bagel is perfectly chewy and flavorful and the eggs and cheese on top are done right. With a sweet cup of hot chocolate on the side it is a great deal and the perfect way to introduce someone to a great New York bagel. Be cautious of what time you come here becaues they are extremely crowded during lunch time and in the morning and you will wait awhile. But if you are looking for good bagels at a good price then definitely stop by and see what all the white girls are talking about. read more

Picture I'm posting is just one of the many reasons I love bagel master. Ever had a bacon egg and cheese that fell apart and you gotta eat it with a fork? Not bagel master! Their sandwiches stay together very well and they are very generous with their bacon and avocado, something a lot of bagel stores don't do. Every time I come in they always get my order right from me ordering light cream cheese and not putting a lot or too little, or me asking for a light bagel and not getting a dark-more burnt one. I've come in at 6am getting ready to drive back to my college and the fresh and warm bagels in the early morning always are the best. I really enjoy their tuna salad which is not too mayo-y. They have so many different selections and their iced coffees are always delicious and never burnt. I'll never forget coming here before high school for bagels and coffee and even moving from syosset to Huntington after high school I still find myself here all the time for a great bacon egg and cheese! read more

Bagel Master - Bakeries Near Me - Syosset, New York

This is my hands down, absolutely favorite bagel store on Long Island. I've been coming here for 25 years and it's just as good as it was then. Egg sandwiches are delicious - eggs are fluffy. The bagels are slightly doughy inside and have a bite on the outside. My absolutely favorite is the everything flagel. This time I got it with cream cheese, lox, red onion and tomatoes. So good! I devoured the whole gigantic bagel. I washed it down with some fresh coffee. My husband and I fight about which bagel store is better (Bagel Master or his local store where he grew up) but I will never let him win! read more

Bagel Master - Bakeries Near Me - Syosset, New York

Best bagels ever! Came home to visit my parents and one of only stops is to visit bagel master (even though way out of my way). Don't know why, but these bagels are better then all others. I've been coming here for more then 30 years, and glad to bring home some of my memories to my colleagues in Georgia, so they taste greatness read more

Best bagel store ever. I've been going here for years and it's always fresh and never disappoints!! From bagels to coffee to catering they do it all. Love this place. read more

Bagel Master has the multigrain sunflower flagel.. I now have a few families booked on them!

herring onions, tuna, dark flagels, good coffee.. fast - owned by people over from Russia - friendly but there is an edge when someone annoys them. Funny. read more

This is my go-to place when I am on this North Shore for a decent bagel and coffee. Although it is not my favorite bagel place, it is a good substitute. On Saturdays and Sundays this place is always packed with locals lining up to get their bag of bagels to take home or their bagel sandwiches, coffee and a paper. One thing I give them credit for . . . on a recent visit when the young lady (I suppose someone new), messed up my order, the manager (or owner), made sure she fixed it the right way without me having to say a word. They seem to be good like that, and he seems to stay on top of the employees. They also have a good selection of dairy products so you don't have to take multiple trips to bring home a bountiful bagel breakfast. And they make and bottle their own fresh squeeze OJ, which is always a plus in my book. And their egg sandwiches are definitely tasty and filling. read more

You can rate a bagel joint by the length of the line on the weekend. This place was PACKED, and I could see why - what a delicious bagel. And these guys have capers (I'm looking at you, Village Bagel). Though that line was long, it moved. Looks to have a wide selection of bagels and flagels. Granted, they don't have the old-school dense hockey-puck bagels, but no one does anymore. Five stars if the price were a dollar or two cheaper. But I'm picking nits here, I don't have any complaints. "A", but not "A plus". Pro tip: consider parking in the CVS lot & walking over, Bagel Master's lot is sorta small. read more

Best bagels around. I've been to bagel master a couple times when I've come to visit friends, and each time it's definitely impressed. Personally, I always go for the bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel, which is phenomenal. What I ALWAYS forget is that they have flagels (flat bagels) which are even better with bacon, egg, and cheese. If I were going there right now, I'd get a bacon, egg and cheese with either an everything or salt flagel. Throw in a coffee and I'm a happy man. read more

My fiancé and I were in town for a wedding and stopped by here around noon for a late breakfast. We looked on Yelp for a bagel place, because, "when in NY...(one eats bagels)." I loved the shop as soon as I walked in. It has a great "feel" to it, very old fashioned, sort of a one stop shop for deli, bread, and dairy products. Nishant ordered a bagel, egg, cheese, and sausage; I had an everything bagel with cream cheese with Genoa salami, yum. They were generous with the salami, and I actually gave some to Nishant to put on his sammy. I thought the bagels were delish, served up quickly with friendly, prompt service. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely make a stop here! read more

I gave bagel master another shot recently and they blew it. Ordered the Leo and they gave me little sad bits of baked salmon instead of nice slices of belly lox with the saddest looking bits of onion. There was literally like three tiny pieces of chopped onion. The rub is that I waited on line for 15 minutes and I was only the fourth person from the front. Plus, the sandwich (on a roll) was $7.06 with tax. the sandwich was all wrong and was mostly roll. I returned it for my money back immediately after taking a bite and then I wet down the road to food express and got a thick deli sandwich honey maple turkey,, American cheese lettuce tomato and mayo for a dollar less. I'll never go to bagel master again. Considering that there are three other bagel places within two miles you'd think they'd do better. But experience has told me otherwise. read more

The flat bagels are so delicious-- such a good idea! & the service was fast. I'll definetly come back when i'm in the area again! read more

This. Is. The. Best. Bagel. Place. On. Long. Island. Period. Any negative reviews here are because the employees aren't super cheerful and smiley. Who cares? All that matters is how delicious their bagels are. I would hate working there too. The line is always really long on the weekends (but moves fast), and they have to deal with people from Syosset and surrounding areas. I've seen countless amounts of people be so nasty and rude to the staff with typical Syosset attitudes. They have the best everything bagel. The best. Nobody even compares. The egg sandwich special is great. Cheap and it comes with a coffee, tea or hot chocolate. This place is 100x better than any Bagel Boss around, especially that horrible one on 25 in Westbury/Jericho. The bagels are always a great texture, fresh, and the cream cheese is great as well. There is nothing bad I can say about this place. Nothing. read more

I have been coming here for over 15 years. Wether it was a meal before high school or a 5am bacon,egg, cheese and hash brown on a bagel before going to work at the caddy shake it was always delicious. I'd like to think that I know my bacon egg and cheese sandwiches as I have had many. I also love their blintzes filled with cheese and preserves. The service runs pretty smoothly as they have a ton of very friendly staff to help with your order. This is a family owned business and it's nice to see that it is staying in the family. read more

Best Tuna, Lox, bagels and more! This bagel store hands down takes the prize! Every time I am in the area its a must visit place. Highly recommended and the staff is great! Even if there is a line it moves quickly! I have also ordered platters and pastries - all delicious! read more

Love it there I go there all the the time the bagels and the coffee are always fresh... Highly recommend!!!! read more

Best. Bagels. Ever. And if you get them hot, add a sixth star. I have been coming here for over 20 years, and everyone is treated like family when they come in. The fresh roasted turkey is delicious, and their catering is better than any of the "big" markets! read more

Came in today for bagels and cream cheese for a meeting this morning. Grabbed that and lox and juice. Everyone was more than happy with the food. We've been coming for years. Always great. Worth stopping in! read more

Bagel Master - Bakeries Near Me - Syosset, New York

I have no idea how this place doesn't have at least 4 stars. I've been coming here since I started dating/married a local 8 years ago. The bagels are the I've had in LI (please don't even offer me a gabbys or a bagel boss!). The bagels are certainly the star of the show but the sushi grade lox is also incredible. Great whitefish, egg salad, and herring. Really good desserts too. One of my go to orders is chopped herring on pumpernickel (never scooped) cream cheese and onions. Love an everything falafel with lox, cream cheese and the works. read more

So my review from years ago already says how amazing the bagels (low carb 4ever), coffee, and staff are, but I need to mention they have the absolute BEST matzo ball soup in NY!! Someone needs to talk about this!! A hidden gem. Soup at Ben's, diners, "famous" delis in all of LI/city literally cannot hold a candle. So flavorful, proper/perfect texture matzo balls - and of course comes with a bagel/bread of your choice :) read more

The best bagel store! The bagels are amazing as well as all their appetizing. The Jennifer salad is my personal fave---and they have the BEST iced coffee. Tons of variety, great drink selection, and excellent customer service. Thank you Bagel Master for being my go-to bagel store on the island! read more

Bagels suck, not fresh.. seems like they give you left overs from a few days ago. The place is dirty and the salads look old. Not coming back read more

Talk about terrible customer relations. An order was placed an hour before it was to be picked up. I arrive 10 minutes early and was told it was coming out , the bagels just need to get cut and it should be out in 10 minutes , 15 minutes later I'm told it should be just a few more minutes. 15 minutes later I was then told it will just be a few more minutes. 5 minutes later I just canceled the order. To be consistently lied to is inexcusable. Plenty of other very good bagel shops in the area. Will not be back-- if telling ur staff that they shouldn't lie to a customer is offensive than u have bigger problems .. stop deflecting the critisim ... again will never be back read more
