I ran in to grab a bagel. Been missing Long Island bagels since I moved to CT. Unfortunately the four kids that were behind the counter were just laughing and gave me meat when I asked for a vegan cream cheese bagel? I paid $13 for two plain bagels and the one disgusting item in the picture. It was so greasy, There were several other people waiting but just one person in charge of each order so there's no way the brown haired girl did this by mistake . . . I would love to live this place but love will set you free . Also they frequently run out of whole wheat everything bagels. read more

This little shop has a great variety of Bagels and spreads. I like to come in the late morning to pick up an everything with Veggie Cream cheese. There is parking in the back and in the street out front. The bagels are delicious and always fresh. 4 stars because the staff is inconsistent and not always pleasant. read more

St James is a nice town, lots of pride when it comes their local businesses. Both my sons still go to the barber on Lake ave. I live two towns away but when I saw Ham n Taters on social media I knew I'd be swinging by for breakfast. Parking in St James? Sucks. Either your parking on the street or your luck out with spot out back. Walking inside, Bean's Bagels is a small deli with a few tables. While waiting on line, I see how social media comes into play. Beans Bagels is trying to appeal to a younger consumer with items like oreo cream cheese and fruity pebble bagels. Not something my wife & I would try but if its a big seller then keep making them for your customers. A nice lady asks what I would like to order. I say Ham n Taters please and make the scrambled eggs soft. Also, can I have the Taters on the side? My meal is ready, it looks good in the picture! However, the scrambled eggs are overcooked and the taters are in the sandwich. I guess she didn't understand what I meant, she also gave me a side of hash browns? I've been raked over hot coals for a three star review a few years ago, most likely from a social media firm. People make mistakes, it wasn't in the cards for me today so it's not a big deal. 3 stars isn't horrible, Bean's Bagels isn't close to my home, so I will not be returning. read more

A step above your average bagel place! Beans is a new shop in the area, which adds a new bagel frontier for those who reside in St. James. I can only speak for the delivery aspect: ordered an aleko (egg whites, spinach, turkey bacon, feta) on a whole wheat everything with a side of hashbrowns. Delivery took a decent amount of time but, everything was still pleasantly hot by the time I got my hands on it. The aleko was huge! Piled high with egg whites and turkey bacon. Definitely hits that salt craving if you're looking for it. The bagel itself was surprisingly tender which was a nice surprise. The home fries it came were freshly made, not my favorite homefries of all time but servicable. And the hashbrown was a standard rectangle hashbrown. Not what I expected but I have a heart, so I didn't hate it. Honestly, I would be most definitely be interested in coming back here to try their other offerings. Their bagels are good, and their concoctions looks super interesting! read more

So happy to have found this place!! There are not many good bagel places in Smithtown so I was happy to find a new place in St. James! Beautiful space for a bagel shop and the place is spotless! I started following them on Instagram and they really have some amazing and creative creations! I came in on Friday with a friend and wanted to try something I saw on their Instagram. The owner said he created it for a friend and he'd be happy to make it for me. It should definitely be a staple on their menu! It was amazing and I'll be back again for it!! My friend and I split the sandwich and also got a Dorito bagel with veggie cream cheese. So so good!!! We brought it up a notch and bought a bag of Doritos and added it to the bagel... we're foodies, what can I say!? Haha The owner and his wife were so friendly, chatting with us about the shop and coming by to make sure we were ok and enjoying everything. We will definitely be back!!! read more

Probably the best bagels on Long Island. Definitely the best French Toast bagels in either direction. Do not miss out on these. Friendly and fast service. Clean and welcoming shop. Parking in the rear. read more

What I loved most was the variety of spreads and options they had available. They had everything from classic cream cheese to jalapeno cheddar spread, and even Nutella and peanut butter for those with a sweet tooth. It was tough to decide which spread to choose, but the staff was patient and helpful in helping me make a decision. I got a classic sausage egg and cheese and it was delicious! The service at Beans was excellent as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and efficient. They made sure my order was correct and that I had everything I needed. Overall, I highly recommend them their delicious breakfast sandwiches and variety of spreads. It's a great spot to grab a quick breakfast on the go. read more

This shop is all over instagram and with an intense push to drive people to their business for "insane creations" and "the best bec youve ever had". Yet, they are always out of everything no matter if its 8am on a Sunday or 10am on a Thursday. Twice we have driven 25 mins to this place and it is a disappointment every single time! STOP PROMOTING YOURSELF IF YOU CANT KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND! read more

This review is solely based on the bagels (got a dozen). They are very good and BIG! They have a wide selection to choose from and I loved that they were doughy enough and not hard. The flavor of the bagels were great. Friendly service and casual inside. I would like to try their breakfast/lunch sandwiches, salads and spreads next! Will be back based off of my bagel experience. read more

Good tasting bagels Vegetable Cream Cheese looked great fresh ingredients Prices are on the higher side but good option in St James read more

This shop is our NUMBER ONE bagel shop - and there are many to choose from in the area. The staff are all attentive, prompt, and jovial- they remember you and are so catering. The bagels are absolutely delightful - while their Doritos bagel recently garnered them some well-deserved publicity, I highly recommend a lightly toasted French toast bagel with cream cheese! It's never chaotic in here like other bagel shops, although business is always booming. They also have a generous rewards program that is easy to use. I am so glad that Bean's bagels made roots in our awesome little town - they are proudly our hometown bagel shop :). read more

This was worth my visit. The bacon scallion cheddar bagel was nice, soft and yummy. Mike the owner was there and made it fresh for me which was really nice. The bagel shop is clean and there is parking in the back. Pay attention to the signs because the barber shop next door says no parking or you will be towed! Don't want that. Back to the deliciousness. I didn't know what to choose because he has a nice menu and a variety of cream cheese. I made a great choice after all. I also tried the rainbow bagel with birthday cake cream cheese (I split it with my daughter). It was enjoyable. I plan to go back to try another flavor and I hope that French toast bagel will be on the menu! (Hint hint). Also congratulations to Mike and his wife on their new bundle of joy and lots of luck on your new business!! Go enjoy people!! read more

Got some bagels on TooGoodToGo. Great service! Quiet at closing time so it was very quick in and out. I'd buy again.

Awesome! Fresh!! Huge bagels! I would take off a half a star because the girl was not that friendly - I guess she was tired. But the man (owner?) was awesome! Answered all my questions. A Dorito bagel? hmm...no, I think I'll pass. Lol! But the rainbow bagel and the french toast bagel! Awesome! I will defintely go again! It was 10 am during the week and they had a variety. I like the interesting tables! read more

I really wanted to love this bagel establishment. My daughter and I went in to get some breakfast. We ordered two bagels with butter and jelly. The staff were very nice and gave us some mini muffins to take home. We sat in the restaurant to have our bagels. I took a bite. I don't even know what the heck was on the bagel. By the look on my daughter's face, I could tell she had the exact same experience. I don't know if it was vegetable shortening or what but it was certainly NOT butter. ... And it wasn't cream cheese either. It was awful. I should've gone up to the counter and complained or at least questioned them about the 'butter' But my daughter and I were so disgusted we threw out our bagels and left the store. The muffins were terrible. I should give this café a zero! I just feel bad for them. They are truly missing the mark. Considering the prices they are charging ($$$) the bagels and the baked goods should be delicious. read more

Bean's Bagels - Rainbow bagel with butter and jelly. - Bagels Near Me - Saint James, New York

Excellent large, fluffy bagels in a time where everyone else is shrinking theirs. Highly recommended.

I hate leaving bad reviews especially for newer restaurants that have opened up in Saint James village, but this is just unacceptable. I received my door dash order of a pumpernickel bagel with veggie cream cheese. I also ordered half dozen bagels and a half pound of cream cheese. The pumpernickel bagel with cream cheese is disgustingly stale. Just by holding it you can tell it's hard and stale, meaning whoever prepared this bagel knew it was stale and they still sold it to a customer. The edges of the bagel are white on this pumpernickel bagel. Bagel is also small compared to bagels from most other bagel stores as well as the other ones in the bag I received. The other pumpernickel bagel I received is also stale. The other ones in the bagel feel fresh. Me and my husband have come here a couple times because it's near by and we wanted to support a local business, but I think I am done and will go elsewhere for a bagel. Update: The other bagels in the bag that I ordered that I thought may be fresh were definitely on the verge of being stale. And the next day were stale. These are not bagels that are made daily. read more

We were just here for breakfast and my husband said that is the best egg and cheese sandwich he's had. So much so he wants to find out who made it and always have that person make it for him. He wanted to order another one but held back. I will say every time we've gone here, it's been great and the most delicious coffee. read more

This is my neighborhood place, and I had to give them another shot. And the rolls on the egg sandwiches has improved a lot. Going to stop by next week for a basic bagel, fingers crossed My previous review never commented on the staff, but everyone is very friendly. And they have done a great job of keeping the place clean. Take that for granted sometimes, a smile goes a long way. The staff earns their 5 stars now, even before I get my bagel. read more

I heard this place was new.   All I ordered was a buttered egg bagel but either the bagel or the butter (or both) were somewhat stale as it had a funny taste.  I also had to ask the person working to add enough butter because he didn't do it right the first time.   Many of the bagels they sell weren't even ready by about 730am when I arrived. All food should be served fresh and not have a stale taste. Is this being enforced? read more

Love that they participate in TooGoodToGo, which is how I discovered them. I just love that any bagels with seeds are seeded on BOTH sides! I honestly can't believe more places don't do this but this is the first place I ever saw doing this and it's honestly amazing. read more

This is the second time I've been here and I really have no intention of going back. It's convenient because of being right next to my barber but honestly for $12 this sandwich should have been bigger. Last time it was like $10 for a plain ham and cheese on a roll. I know businesses have to make money but it's pathetic at this point what this place gives, a bland everything bagel with bland chicken salad. read more

Stopped at 330 Saturday afternoon and ordered 3 toasted bagels with cream cheese. Homemade and wonderful!

The bagels are delicious and the guys are so nice. I placed an order online and when I went to pick it up, they threw in extra cream cheese.

So happy to have this new establishment across the street from my office. Everything My coworkers and I have tried so far has been delicious and the portion size has been very generous. The owner is really personable too! Great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Saw the owner during St. James day before he opened and he was there with his family in the doorway of his new store. So I had my son in law order from them for Mothers Day since they had a special and I wanted to give the new store business. Well it was great! So much food and all of it delicious. We had enough for the next day. I highly recommend Bean's and Bagels as they are family owned and the food is top notch and the service friendly. Owner is usually on site. A new star is born in St. James. read more

I have ordered from here twice. Their sandwiches are great but their pistachio pancakes were very disappointing. They just were green and had pistachios in the middle but no flavor in them at all. Hoping they change their recipe as these could be a big hit if the taste matched the name. Other than that everything has been delicious. Will be returning for sure. read more
