Wow, just wow. The Bagel Emporium is clearly the place to be in Yorktown Heights. Even on Father's…read moreDay, the entire shop was moving and grooving with a line of customers and so many delicious looking options to choose from. My friend has been raving about this place for years, so I was excited to finally experience it for myself. I enjoyed a very large iced coffee and a gluten-free bagel with egg and cheese. The staff explained that the gluten free bagel was not made in house and would take a little extra time, which I appreciated. While waiting, I was honestly impressed by how smoothly everything ran. From bagels coming out of the oven to the sandwich assembly line, the team worked like a well oiled machine. Everything we saw looked delicious and what we had definitely lived up to the hype. We even came back before leaving town to bring home goodies because, as my friend says, the bagels just are not the same anywhere else!

There are lots of different types of customers coming in and out, which I think is always a good sign. I thought the bagels were very good, and I have never seen so many different types of spread, including a cookie monster cream cheese. They really slab on any kind of spread, so bring an extra container if you want to siphon off any of the spread for later. (This is what I wish I had done with the whitefish spread!) They're also are a lot of sweet pastries, which looked really appealing. It feels a teeny bit sterile, but I won't fault it for that. I suppose that also means it felt very clean and tidy.

I am not sure if this is something they always do on Thursdays but I definitely got lucky as their donuts can be quite pricey. For the dozen donuts I got a Sand Dollar, Sunrise, Lemon Streusel, Strawberry Shortcake, French Toast, Strawberry Matcha, Cookie Crumble, PB & J and Blueberry Streusel. Had to get 2 of some of them to share. The donuts are made fresh and then decorated all right in front of you. I will say they are verrryyyyy sweet and decadent.

I recently stopped by Empire Bagels with my mom, and overall we had an okay experience. The setting…read moreis quiet, with nostalgic decor all over. It is clean and visibly attractive. I wanted everything on the menu I ordered the Popeye--grilled chicken, sautéed spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella--and it delivered. I liked it. Everything tasted fresh, well-balanced, and satisfying without feeling too heavy. At $11.99, I feel it's a bit on the expensive side. I also grabbed a side of curly fries ($4.99), which were crispy, it very flavorful, and an ok match for the sandwich. My mother's Sesame bagel with lox and cream cheese was $13.50 . What really stood out on the service side was Alex--he greeted us with a genuine smile and positive energy that made the visit feel welcoming. That said, the rest of the staff didn't quite match that vibe. One employee in particular seemed a bit rushed or bothered, which took away slightly from the overall atmosphere. Absolutely no hospitality vibes. Still, between the food and that one cool customer interaction with Alex, it was a ok. I'd definitely come back because their menu does have a ton of items I would like to try--just hoping for a bit more consistency in the hospitality next time.

The Bagels are always fresh and of the highest quality and they are significantly larger than any other bagels that are sold nearby.

The Juice and smoothie bar is also excellent. I don't know how they make a profit on any of their juices or smoothies because the ingredients that they put into their drinks alone is more than what they charge.

The menu is simple, and yet it gave me pause. Two large coffees (one iced, one hot), a fruit cup, a small baguette sandwich (they call them "twists"), an egg and cheese (which took less than 8 minutes to prepare), and a blueberry muffin ran me ~$35. Felt fair to me, honestly. Stopped in around 8:45 am and it was already pretty busy so I was surprised by the quick, kind service. Definitely a place for the "golf and tennis club" goers, which is fun for me to experience as I'm very much an outsider in that sense. Definitely would make this a regular stop on weekends.
