The bagels are phenomenal, but don't sleep on their lunch menu--the Chicken Caesar Salad Wrap is unbelievable. It comes with a side salad, and their cucumber salad is always fresh and delicious. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and fast. I used to stop in years ago as a rep for Montauk Iced Tea, and while they don't carry that brand anymore, my love for this place hasn't changed a bit. If you're in the area, Bagel Chalet is absolutely worth checking out!

Here we go, So the hype was big about this Deli…read more I even passed by a couple of times while in the area and the line would be out the door. My BFF and I decided to check it out. We went after lunch crowd was over. It was about a few people sitting down in the dining area eating. Deli was very organized and clean. Customer service was OK. As we approached the counter of ordering I viewed the pastries which looked scrumptious. I decided to order the Apple Danish . My BFF ordered the chocolate muffin. Then we veiwed the sandwiches. I wasn't 100 percent sold on the sandwiches so I asked for my sandwich to be made fresh. However it wasnt . It was reheated. There is a big difference in taste from reheated to making it fresh. I just dealt with it. You would think after paying 46 dollars I would be satisfied, but to be honest with you I wasnt. After eating half of the sandwich I threw the other half away. Im thinking to myself ok maybe the Apple Danish would make up for it. No.. The Danish was very dry inside. Didn't really have any kind of kick to it. To be honest I was totally disappointed. Overall it was not the greatest but it wasnt the worst either. Im undecided if I would visit again. Happy Yelping.

I have been coming here for the last 25 years since the Rannizizzi's owned it. About a year ago they hired a tall skinny male 30-35 years old who treats all customers terrible. He talks to you like you just committed a crime and got caught stealing a item from the store. He argues with all of the customers and constantly gives you the wrong order, then when you tell him that isn't what you order he tells you, "If you don't like it, go elsewhere'. He also is great at short changing you just about every time, and acts like you messed up, not him. Sticky fingers is the reason why the last month I have been going elsewhere, and EVERY DAY I see the same customers that used to go the Best On A bagel. I feel bad for the owner who is the nicest guy in the world who has to wonder why the past year his store is not doing as good as it was, STICKY FINGERS. So like many of his loyal customers who have been going there for years and are going elsewhere, we will not be back until STICK FINGERS LOAD MOUTH is gone. Very sad when your daily routine going for your coffee and sandwich before work has to change because of a jerk who trust me wont be there long. Hopefully see you soon read more

For some odd reason something turns me off and I am on to my next store. Three years ago I found West Side Bagels and they make me feel like family.

Upon learning I'm here they want an order. As they are primarily a morning business they close usually at 1:00pm and Saturdays 2:00pm, I work nights so I'd miss them.
