The food here is pretty good, and the staff is always friendly. However, the way they do things is pretty inefficient and if there's any sort of line, you will be waiting a very long time to get your food. Most places have a cook on the grill handling breakfast sandwiches, and the counter people butter the bagels and do the quick stuff, but here, every worker makes the breakfast orders. So you end up having like 5/6 people crowded around the same small grill trying to cook, and nobody who just needs a quick bagel is being helped. I would also imagine this leads to inconsistencies in the food, as everyone cooks a little different. If they got a dedicated grill cook, this place would probably get 5 stars. read more

This bagel place was good before. Now, not so much! Their bagels are so so...the pricing is ridiculous, service inconsistent. One time I was there and two of the ladies behind the counter were fighting and yelling at each other. Not a very pleasant atmosphere to be in. I don't like the owner of this location either. She just charges whatever she wants for the bagels. One day it's one price, another day it's a different price- get your act together will you ? read more

Staff has no manners and no longer me as customer. This place was fallen waaayyyy down on the bagel scale

was in the area and wanted breakfast we were at ollies and this came up close. The food was good i dont know if the price was worth it and they don't have almond milk. read more

SAVE YOUR MONEY. The food is mediocre at best but the service is AWFUL. The ladies that work there are so rude and SLOW. They completely ignore the line and have long drawn out conversations with the person in the front of the line. If there is more than 1-2 people on line, just LEAVE. They will take like half an hour and then spend 15 mins on your order, for literally no reason. They literally didnt serve a whole line of people because some girl was outside watching her dog pee or something. I thought maybe the food is cooking. Literally after 10 mins of waiting on line, the girls comes in and says she's ready. Ready?? They literally slapped on a 2 scoops of tuna! Like that would have taken 2 seconds. Why did u have to make everyone wait for a customer to go let their dog use the bathroom?? This place is ridiculous. The ladies there have this attitude that basically says "u should be grateful I even came to work" When you call them, they don't want to deal with you and just say come in to the store... How this place is open is beyond me! They also have a very blatant racist vibe and I genuinely felt uneasy. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! read more

So after a terrible experience on February 16, 2025, I received a response saying that they apologized for the terrible experience that I had and was told to please come back so they can make it right. I was hesitant for a while, but after thinking about it, I figured to give them a chance to make it right. Upon ordering my food, I explained to the woman (who was aware of my first experience) that I received an email saying that they wanted to make it right. Her response was "there is nothing she can do about it". She insisted I come back another day. So the next week I did. (stupid decision). She decided to ring up my food before it was even done. I decided at that point just to pay for the order and leave out of frustration. Just to clarify, This was the Selden location. These people could care less about their customers. Also, please beware of using credit cards when paying. They add an additional charge for not paying in cash and they don't even have it posted!! SHAME ON THEM!! read more

Came into bagels your way on a home visit from college and the environment was just a real comfort the way they spoke to everyone greeted everyone if your hole from College and wanna get a sandwich bagels baked goods etc this is the place to be 10/10 definitely will try again read more

I was in a mood to get a nice egg bagel with some cream cheese so I walked in here thinking it would be a pretty decent place as soon as I walk in I see this lady wiping her nose with gloves on and touching the bagels so I figured all right maybe she'll take off her gloves so I order and she didn't takeoff her gloves. She still proceeded to grab my bagel with those snotty hands so I walked out. They could improve by practicing safety procedures. read more

Buyer beware, check your order before leaving the store. I Paid $14.85 for 2 breakfast sandwiches and can't even get it made the way I ordered it. Called and spoke to the manager, she said I would have to come all the way back and bring in the sandwiches so they can correct them. I'm already at work 35 minutes away. A credit for the next visit would have been a better way to accommodate, but now they lost a customer. PS one of the lady's that works there was right outside the door arguing with someone on the phone. read more

Selden location has a horrible employee who does not want to do her job or work with the public. Will not allow phone orders when i called an hour before closing said the grill is off i said just cold cuts she said you have to come in we drove all the way there to be asked what do you want. Told her just turkey ham and swiss and she said "youre killing me." Then said they have no ham. Horrible attitude doesnt want to do her job or welcome business to this establishment. Good luck making money when your employees turn people away. An hour before close!! Trying to close up and not wanting to make food for people. Dont go here!! read more

Avoid this place at all cost. I have had better service and quality bagels in Florida which says a lot about this place. Didn't feel like NY. There was no one in the place, yet took 15min for a BEC. I got a sesame seed bagel, which barely has any sesame seeds on it. And the size of the bagel is quite small. Not what I expected for ~$8. I was not greeted on my way in or way out, even after I said hello how are you and thanked the lady and told her to have a great day. read more

OK the place is clean and neat. However that's where the good stops. I ordered a bagel with butter and it had absolutely no butter... It had such little butter on it I couldn't even taste it! They literally just scraped the knife. I grabbed an Italian cookie that looked delicious. Well it wasn't delicious at all. The cookie was stale, awfully dry. Don't bother coming here, it will be a terrible disappointment. With so many other options for bagels, save yourself and go elsewhere! read more

First off I drive for popular food delivery company's, normally I go to the counter and pickup the order. But with this deli I was completely ignored and not even said hello to. I asked if the order was ready and they started yelling around like nobody knew what was going on. I waiting for about 10 minutes. I had another pickup close by so I went to the Wendy's close and when I returned 10 minutes later the order still wasn't started. When I returned I waited another 10-15 minutes before they put the food on the burners. I had scheduled one hour today. Thankfully I had a second order or I would've finished the hour with only one job completed. Normally average 3.5 jobs per hour completed. It's not acceptable for a reputable place to ignore the paying customer wether in store or not. (These are paying customers who order online and we the driver work by the jobs completed) I never make reviews but I've never been in a circumstance like this. Slowest experience I've ever had working or not. read more

It's been a minute since I have had a real NY egg sandwich. Ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll from bagels your way cafe. Wow. Hit the spot. How do they get the roll so soft? Need to find out that secret ingredient. Egg sandwich was so good I am bought a bagel to go. read more

absolutely disgusting. they have a sign on the door about keeping the community healthy and to not bring in sick kids while not one staff changed their gloves. touching money and then going to touch food. I cancel my order and left. absolutely disgusting. read more

I'm in and out of bagel stores and deli's all week long and rarely on Long Island do you find one as bad as this place. Put it this way- don't stop here unless you're about to die of starvation! Service was very slow, over priced for bad food. I paid $7 for what looked like 1 egg white and a slice of cheese. The tuna and chicken salads looked like they were growing a skin. read more

Very unfriendly workers, especially the tanned, freckled faced weathered looking woman. I thought in an environment like this you should be greeted with a smile ( no matter your personal issues, fake it) . Food isn't terrible but the atmosphere is very unwelcoming. Not to mention the long wait for your order. read more

Went for lunch around 12:30, service sloooow. Ok, I know I'm impatient so maybe it was me. I don't think so. Big board lists around 15 "specialty sandwiches", they all sound great but not one has a price. They all say this: "$". I get The Zachary - fried chicken, bacon, american cheese and russian dressing. It was huge but the hero bread was not great. Actually the entire sandwich was weak - average at best. Chicken was bland, russian was so so and it didn't work with American cheese. Cole slaw was excellent. I'm not sure the price but the sandwich and a medium coffee was $14.43. Not worth anything near that price. I'll try a bagel next time. Oh well. Second trip: got 2 bagels with butter and they were good. Coffee was ok too. But man is the service slow. Not sure if its a staffing issue or they all just move at a snails pace. If this store was in manhattan it would be closed in a month. Good thing it's Suffolk lol. read more

I ordered 3 dozen bagels, 2 dozen croissants and rolls, coffee and doughnuts. Everything was ready on time and delicious. Everything was included. Very happy!!! Thank you!!!- read more

"Bagels your way" is an ironic name. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and bacon. I was served a toasted bagel with butter. I politely said that wasn't what I ordered. Most places would apologize and make you another bagel no problem. Not this place. At this place they put all the blame on the customer. "This is what you ordered" I was told. Reluctantly, the woman that was "helping" me finally made me the right bagel, but not before she tried to sell me something I didn't order. "Bagel our way" is more like it. Will never go back. read more

I asked them for a dark toasted bagel an they decided not to toast it at all messed my whole morning up read more

The bagels are borderline OK (and that's being generous). The service is atrocious. I wanted to give them another shot because of the convenient location. I ordered on Grubhub for pickup just to avoid dealing with the rude staff and they still managed to make it a miserable experience. read more

Called to ask a question and finished the ordeal after getting put on hold 3 times to be hung up all 3 times lol, worst service ever, 4 dollars for a regular Snapple bottle, you can choose if it's medium small or large, but you'll get the same thing for each, manager was rude and I was cursed out by the "only" employee on the floor. GO TO MEDFORD INSTEAD read more

In the past I used to think this place was great... Crispy bacon, nice and cheesy, but now I've been there a few more times and every single time they really didn't impress. Either they don't cut the bagel all the way, or don't make it the way I request, the bacon is always rubbery, over easy ordered eggs, hard and lacking all that gooey greatness... Just a let down. read more

This is my local bagel place. Ignore the various miscellaneous negative stories about it. This is the real deal NY bagel place. Has been for many years. The place runs properly as a bagel place should. I visit this place almost every day. The girls in the morning are the exact right mix of salty and sweet to be the quintessential Long Island bagel place. The food is consistent and delicious. I will be a customer forever. There is also a particular nice young lady who makes the best wrap on the planet. read more

Stopped in this morning for an egg sandwich. Everything about it was delicious. Cooked exactly to order, fresh roll There was a line and little wait but it wasn't because they weren't working read more

This is the second time I walked out of this place. Same reason both times. Two people behind the counter. Two of us waiting to place an order. Only one of us given the opportunity. These people literally looked right at me and proceeded to ignore me until I left. THIS HAPPENED TWICE in this place. read more

I've been to Bagels Your Way Café from time to time, and I've always had such a positive experience. Today, I was especially impressed by how much the staff did to ensure that we had an excellent customer experience. My mother and I came to have some breakfast, and ordered coffee as well, however they not only made our breakfast to perfection, but they came to our table and asked if we wanted more coffee and even refilled our cups. I was never so shocked by such excellent customer service at a bagel café! I would highly recommend this location to everyone looking for a bite to eat in the local neighborhood. The staff here are so thoughtful and kind. read more

If I could give no stars i would. Walked into this place with my brother for lunch, my brother ordered eggs and I wanted a bacon ham and cheese sandwich on a bagel. Blond girl behind the counter asked no eggs? No I want a lunch sandwich (didnt know I had to specify) got my sandwich with one slice of ham and bacon and cheese which was done on the grill. I guess the girls behind the counter were too busy talking to understand anything at all! I won't ever go back. Maybe they all should pay more attention to their customers than their own problems behind the counter! Get it together! read more

Child's Portion! When you order a bagel with a premium flavored cream cheese, be prepared for a child's portion of cream cheese on your bagel. They do you a favor by spreading the thinnest layer of premium cream cheese on your bagel. Yet they charge you the premium price, You're better off ordering a single bagel and a 1/4 pound of flavored cream cheese, Get a knife and make it yourself at the table. There are plenty of choices out there, Maybe it's time to explore? read more

I dont even know if I like this place or not. The bagels are overcooked a little. Like edible but hard. The egg sandwiches are good. What makes me not want to come back here is the consistent arguing and bickering back and fourth through the work space. Loud. Across the kitchen. read more

Overprice for what you get. The Experience staff who is obviously been there for a long time is very friendly but pay attention to what you're ordering the bagels are on the smaller side and God for bid you like lox Make sure you have a pretty hefty savings account. I just spent $20 onto bagels. It sounds nitpicky but I only come to Bagels Your Way, Café this and the Medford location at absolute convenience I do not understand how both locations do as well as they do there is a list of other bagel places in the area with better prices and better Quality. I know this dramatically negative review may seem like a one star rating but I gave it three because in all fairness I've never had their lunch or egg sandwiches at the Selden location and because they have a consistent customer stream I assume somewhere or doing something better read more

Horrible service at counter very rude and nasty girl working there will never go back and will tell all to not go here

I ordered an egg salad on a bagel (and nothing else) and was charged $7.50. Anywhere else I could have gotten two bagels for that price. It wasn't even that good. What a ripoff. Don't go here. Another member wrote a similar review about being overcharged. read more

Worst experience I've ever had at a bagel place! My usual bagel place wasn't picking up the phone, so I ended up here. I like to call in my orders since my husband and I get egg sandwiches and don't like to sit around waiting. It was pointless to do that here since I had to stand on a line anyway to pick it up, which would have been fine but they were so slow. At one point, they were all cooking and nobody was paying attention to the customers! So, I finally get my order like 20 minutes later and it had been sitting there the whole time, so I knew the food wouldn't be hot. However, I was hoping that would be the only issue, didn't expect the sandwiches to be totally disgusting. First of all, I ordered mine with just bacon and eggs, no cheese and they put cheese on it. My husband wanted the cheese on his and didn't get it and his was on some weird roll that wasn't what egg sandwiches usually come on. The bacon was rubbery and had an artificial mesquite flavor. There was one fried egg on each sandwich and that was it, didn't care for it at all. I would never go back here again! read more

Again I'm here and the workers forgot how to wear a mask. Some are and some are under their noses or on the chin. What a disgrace
