Wandered in here very randomly while driving home down Middle Country…read more Went in for breakfast, wound up with a breakfast sandwich and a Reuben for research purposes. The egg sandwich was above average for sure but the star of the show was my pastrami Reuben with Cole slaw. Not an overwhelmingly large sandwich like social media leads everyone to believe is necessary, but it was also only $13.99 which is definitely cheaper than most local places. Side salad and pickle are included and the pickle spear was delicious. The place is immaculate, the staff was very friendly, the man who made my sandwich even asked me to report back on if I like it or not because he said he takes pride in his creations. I will stop in this week to let him know I loved it. There's a massive amount of menu items, it'll take a while to try them all out but there's a few that caught my eye which will require immediate attention. It's hard to find good delis left on the island, this was a great cross between a deli and bagel place. There's a ton of refrigerators with lots of drink choices, there's a salad bar, and of course the sandwich menu. I got to talking with the owner, Mike. Real nice guy, he seems to actually care about his business, and he's got his kids working with him. All around great find, highly recommend!!!!

When I was looking for an at home breakfast for the morning of my daughter's wedding, I came across…read moreBrendel's Bagels. Now I wanted a nice breakfast at the home where the bridal party would be getting ready, and a hearty breakfast for the Groomsmen. It was going to be a long day and the next opportunity to eat was 4pm. I wasn't sure a bagel store would give me everything I needed. Much to my surprise, this brilliant owner has a bridal package. Plus, she tailors the breakfast differently for the men and the women. I can only speak on behalf of what my husband and the groom said, but their breakfast was delicious and just what they needed. On the women's side, I was so impressed with the food and the presentation. Stasi came and set everything up as if it was an event in itself. I couldn't give enough praises and everyone was happy all around. I would highly recommend Brendel's bagels to anyone who was looking for suggestions.

I know you ladies heard a customer enter the business because a bell rings when the door opens and I was passed at the counter several times. I waited approximately 5- 10 minutes before walking out. Might be time to invest in friendlier, quicker paced staff with more customer service experience! It's never too late to turn a business around but the quality staff and the inefficient work flow needs to be reevaluated and corrected fast! I will not return to this business and do not recommend this place to anyone. I took my business to another bagel place where I was greeted, smiled at, served and checked out in under two minutes!

Awful service, overpriced food - stay away!…read more I went back to 'Bagels Your Way Cafe' for the first time in maybe a year hoping the bad experience from a year ago was a one off. It was -- because it got worse. 3 people working on a Saturday morning in the most inefficient way possible. No one person is on grill, and the grill is 20 feet from the bagels. So each staffer is also a grill person. Awful process. While 3 people are by the grill (i kid you not) no one is help customers. The staff is slow. Like walking slow. No efficiency. No smiles. Plus, the lady before me got the wrong order twice because the staffer refused to write anything down. Oh, and I don't even get anything on the grill. Two (2) plain bagels, lightly buttered, not toasted: $8.20. $8.20? Stay the hell away. Never again for me.

Growing up as a Jew in NYC, bagels were always an important mainstay for our weekend breakfasts…read more And, because I am also a "foodie" (which makes me know the good stuff & makes my family reticent to dine out with me ), I must say that CELLA BAGELS in Selden, NY is the only place I frequent to buy bagels. The bagels have the perfect density and crispiness of those great ones I remember from The Lower East Side (in Manhattan). The taste is always a joy to the palate. If I'm having company, I'll typically go to specialty markets that sell an array of smoked fish, but for bagels, there's only CELLA. I typically buy one to two dozen (of mixed varieties) eat a few and slice the remaining bagels in half and freeze them. I just decided to make a dairy meal for dinner (including various salads); but realized it wouldn't work without good bagels. My kind husband just volunteered to make the trek (30 minutes) down to Selden (probably because he loves the bagels and sometimes me). And finally, if you ever get there and any of the bagels are just coming out of the oven, grab one for immediate consumption. They're heaven. {BTW - I don't know anyone who owns or works there, I am writing this merely to share my experience.}

Something seems off here, this bagel spot has been extremely busy for years…read more Today I walked in at 8:30 am and only two people on line and staff is sparse. Something felt completely different. The was NO cream cheese in the display case and staff seemed confused on what they should be doing. I ordered egg whites and bacon on a roll. When the server went to ring me up I asked if it included a juice or coffee or tea, she replied yes. It's a pet peeve of mine that if something is included in the price the server should offer it to you. Bad business in my opinion. The sandwich was ok, definitely smaller portions than before but still ok, the coffee on the other hand was horrible. Tasted like a dirty pot of grinds. Not sure when I will be back to try again.

The sausage & egg were not large enough for the bagel. This was also one of the more expensive bagel sandwiches I've bought in the area and I don't think the quality matches the price. The place also felt messy and unclean. Maybe the quality and cleanliness would have been better if I got food first thing in the morning, but I don't think I'll be heading back here anytime soon given the other options in the area.

If this place was ever really worthy of the high Yelp rating, I'd be pretty shocked…read more As soon as I moved back to the island, the first thing I immediately missed was walking downstairs to my bodega and getting egg sammies in the morning, then walking downstairs to the same awesome bodega, full of craft beers, in the middle of the night for chicken over rice and sh*t... so, I urgently searched for a nearby deli (there are none) but this place is all I've got other than the spot in the train station. So I made my way over there to try em out. Long Island really rapes you on a bacon egg and cheese, or at least this crap-hole does. Paid something close to $9 and it was god awful. I have a hard time believing this ever could have been good. I see 80-90% of the pix on here are from one dude three years ago, some look good n all, but this place is anything but. Hard pass.
