These are the smallest bagels I've ever seen. Dunkin' Donuts bagels are bigger than these. When u go to Long Island for a bagel there is an expectation because Long Island is known for their bagels. This was literally a mini bagel. I got an everything bagel that looked like Larry David after a haircut. Nothing on top barely anything on the sides. read more

No other bagel place open at 645am aside from this place on a Sunday. Thanks for the boost!! Ordered an egg everything bagel with lox and cream cheese, the bagel was still warm. Wahoo read more

The bagel selection here is always solid and the customer service is fast. Priced right. Not too fancy. Just exactly what I need. Cream cheese is always nice and heavy, as it should be! read more

Terrible customer service; the lady at front this morning...and the bagels are not good ...bread is dense and cheese was unproportioned...very disappointed, was looking for bagel store for our office go-to pick...will look for elsewhere. Please dont be rude to customers, they are human beings just like you. read more

Very good bagels , the best ones as far as bagels go, I actually buy a bunch and freeze them to enjoy whenever I want a good bagel

They are the best. I purchase sandwiches and bagels for my meetings twice per month and they do not want me to go anywhere else. Great staff and awesome food! read more

Young sleepy kid took our order. Ordered scrambled eggs - got fried eggs. Sandwich boring. Dry and no taste. One and done!

Worst customer service ever. The most unwelcoming and unfriendly staff. Took 30 minutes to hand me two bacon egg and cheese's. I paid for my order which is why I didn't just exit the building. read more

Nope, never again. I just went there becuase it was a close by breakfast spot from the current location I was at the moment. They take forever to make your food and it is expensive. The place is small so you are standing in an uncomfortable line/waiting area. read more

House of Bagels - Hungry man hero - Bagels Near Me - Commack, New York

I travel Long Island for work and eat at a new place almost every day, because of that I recommend new places to people all the time. House of bagels will not be one of those. I paid $5.16 for a bagel with strawberry cream cheese. That price I pretty high in comparison to other bagel places. The bagel was hard and the cream cheese tasted like plain, not even a hint of strawberry. I know it was strawberry because I watched him make the bagel. On top of those things they barely put any cream cheese on the bagel. My helper waited 20 mins for an egg sandwich which cost him $10. This is my first and last time here. The store was small and cramped too read more

House of Bagels - $5.16 Bagel with barely any cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Commack, New York

Love this place can't get enough of my whites on a bagel. Pick up bagels for work once per month and the folks love it. They were open during the covid lock down and kept me going every day! read more

we are usually not in that area much but after an appointment in commack went there for breakfast, the egg sandwich was very good, eggs cooked right and good coffee, since then we have come back and when we travel get off at exit 52, order sandwiches and pick up a dozen bagels plus six free ones like old times. Recommend this place, it's always crowded, one set back because sometimes you have to wait, also between 7 and 10 you get coffee with your order. read more

The. Best. Bagels. You won't find better bagels anywhere else. I wish I lived closer. These bagels stay fresh for days and they're huge!

Still the best bagel place in Long Island that we've had! Consistently great, fresh bagels and very good fillings. They now ship nationwide which I sent my sister after she moved to Utah. Can't beat NY bagels! read more

I fancy myself somewhat of a bagel expert. Well, I'm Jewish and I grew up here so that would qualify me. I've been to many many bagel places and have eaten enough bagels to make the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man a happy boy so it behooves me to say that this is definitely the best bagel around. I don't live very close so House Of Bagels is not my local joint but when you need them, you need them. Sometimes you just need to take that ride so that you can eat the nicest fluffy but chewy bagels you've ever had. House of Bagels fits that bill. Even my ex hubs can get on my good side for a moment if he brings me an everything bagel from this place and that is saying a lot! read more

What a disappointment. I normally come here all the time as the bagels are always fresh and their egg sandwiches are great. But I may need to rethink my next bagel excursion. I understand prices are high. $4.50 for a bagel with flavored cream cheese is insane but it's not even the issue. For this price, there should be at least an adequate amount of cream cheese. This is also the 2nd time I've been there in the last month and dealt with 2 different people who had awful attitudes. I've been in customer service long enough to know that not every day is gonna be rainbows and butterflies. However, I've seen one of the people be nasty to other customers on different occasions so it wasn't just a bad day. This is not a unique problem and theres no such thing as a perfect employee. Unfortunately, the combination of high prices, low quality/quantity, and terrible customer service has lost them a loyal customer who once championed them. Bagel stores are a dime a dozen on Long Island. Go somewhere else. read more

Ordered cheese cheese and lox bagel for $17. While the bagel was good, there was hardly any lox and cream cheese. Common guys, do better.

As a child, under the thumb of parents, teachers, schools, and other institutions and authorities imposing rules telling me where to go and what to do and when and how to do it, I'd daydream about the dream-day when I would finally reach adulthood, when I'd own a car and live on my own and do as I pleased and didn't have to ask permission for a second helping of dessert, even dessert for breakfast. I was, to paraphrase the sage Detroit rapper Danny Brown, rushing as a kid just to be grown up. And although I now am (as I observed in my review of Jericho Tires) an adult, I'm still under a thumb. Sure, I enjoy more freedoms than I did before the landmark ages of 13, 16, 18, 21. I can address most adults by first name. I can buy liquor -- lots of liquor. I can walk into a strip club, as long as I pay the cover. Which I won't. But again, the thumb. The thumb of responsibility. The thumb of holding down a job. The thumb of having to take care of others. The middle finger of adulthood. What does this have to do with bagels? Well, dear reader, let me tell you. If you've been reading my other reviews (and if not, why not?) you'll know that I currently have a Saturday morning routine that consists of going to Costco (which I previously reviewed), an odyssey preceded, if my daughter joins me, by a trip to Chick-fil-A (which I also previously reviewed). I don't mind running these weekly errands. Not only do I have control over what's coming into the house, I consider these trips mini-vacations where I escape the thumb and feel like my own person. I'm reminded of a young-dad Louis CK bit where he trashes all the toilet paper so he has an excuse to go out. I like Chick-fil-A (I gave 'em four stars, meaning "Yay! I'm a fan"), but I won't usually get breakfast because I practice intermittent fasting before noon. But I don't mind stopping for Chick-fil-A for [daughter's] breakfast. It's a quick to-go order when I use the app, it's not expensive, and it's this little "thing" [daughter] and I share, the kind of bonding I hope will be remembered at my wake; when everyone else is struggling to summon a positive memory of my living years, she can say: "Dad often took me to Chick-fil-A, and that more than makes up for the other things he's done over the years that made me spend so much on therapy that I had to forgo buying a new flying car." (I plan to live to an age old and ripe enough to own flying cars.) (Incidentally, between Chick-fil-A and Costco, we often swing by the drive thru at the Starbucks next door. I haven't reviewed that Starbucks yet -- stay tuned!) Toward the end of my Costco journey I'll receive the clarion call from [wife], [son], or both, requesting I return with something to eat, despite their easy access to a limited but suitable assortment of breakfast foodstuffs within the four walls of the abode from which they contacted me. But they're not in the mood for cereal or eggs or even the supermarket bagels we have in the house. They want a fresh hot bagel or an egg sandwich, two breakfast staples that form the foundation of the Long Island food pyramid. So, dear reader, because my role within the current family dynamic is something between "humble servant" and "resentful serf," I acquiesce to a breakfast run at House of Bagels, which is less a house than one third of a small strip mall behind a larger strip mall and a McDonald's, but I understand why they call the place "House of Bagels" because "Small Strip Mall Behind Larger Strip Mall & McDonald's Bagels" is a bit unwieldy to render on a sign. It's a very narrow establishment. Like many other bagel shops, the first thing you need to do upon entering is ask a random customer among the disorganized assembly, "Are you already being helped?" or "Are you the end of the line?" or, if you're feeling a little whimsical, "Why did you steal my penguin?" Order accuracy, as well as the time it takes for your order (accurate or not) to be filled can vary, especially if you're ordering something requiring more than a slash of butter or schmear of cream cheese (i.e., an egg sandwich) on a crowded Saturday morning, which I often, reluctantly, am. Why, once it took so long to receive my order that I was able to read the entire "The Myth of Sisyphus" by Albert Camus on my phone followed by my well-worn edition of "Goodnight Gorilla," which I always carry on my person. But no matter what, the folks behind the counter are courteous and friendly, when they're not friendly and courteous. And to ensure an accurate order, it might pay to hand the employee a scrap of paper with your breakfast desires clearly described -- and in English, not some kind of impenetrable code requiring the Enigma machine to decipher. And I am pleased with their wares. The bagels are among the better ones in town, and (more importantly) they know how to whip up an egg sandwich, which is a welcome respite if it's time to break my fast for the energy to return to the thumb. FOUR STARS read more

House of Bagels - EVERYTHING - Bagels Near Me - Commack, New York

I finally decided to try this place. Mainly because they are open at 0400 and I start my workday pretty early. I love places that are not chains. The staff here are so friendly and observant. I am a true New Yorker and love my bacon and egg on a roll! They do a great job preparing this for me. A great portion of bacon and eggs, and neat! I have not had the opportunity to try anything else, but I do not doubt it is not amazing and fresh! Everything looks so great. read more

Stopped here for a flagel and coffee. Two flagels and one coffee actually and when they rang us up it was $11. We questioned it and they said flagels were more , 1.85 ea.. that still didn't add up and it was a young man and many people there so we didn't argue but the cashier doesn't know how to add. I will not be going there again. Bagel was supposed to be toasted but it was cold as well read more

New to the area. Got a coupon in the mail for 12 FREE bagels! Luckily I came in on the last day before it expired. It was 100% free! The employee went to the back to make sure it was legit and then came back out 20 seconds later and asked which bagels I would like! It also came with a 1/2 lb of cream cheese (we got the lox spread)! I ended up getting a bagel sandwich for my wife too! Bacon egg and cheese was good. Everything bagels, onion bagels and garlic bagels are all good! I think bagels might be a bit better at Bagel Chalet, but its a little cheaper here. I guess it depends on how long of a line you want lol.. there was only 1 person ahead of me here. 25 ahead at Chalet. read more

We ordered 12 bagels and there was a promotion going on where if you order a dozen, you get 6 bagels free. Quantity-wise, there was more than enough. However, the cream cheese here is pretty pricy, costing almost $3 for a small 5-tablespoon amount of flavored cream cheese (we ordered a sweet nut-based cream-cheese). We ordered 6 egg everything bagels among our other bagels, and were a bit disappointed at how hard it was to tell which were the Everything bagels and which were not. In fact, the stuff on the everything bagels (such as the poppy seeds, onion, and sesame seeds that are usually on everything bagels fell off in the bag after just a day so it was even harder to identify which bagel was or was not an everything bagel). Consequently, the Everything bagels didn't really taste like everything bagels. Since everything bagels are my favorite, I think the way those bagels tasted didn't really make me want to come back to this place even though they have a pretty generous promotion. read more

House of Bagels - Nothing like a hot bagel! - Bagels Near Me - Commack, New York

Honestly. I've never seen anything like it. You go in and everyone's in the back. You stand there forever then they finally come out and act like your bothering them. Twice this has happened. Never again. Plenty of good bagel stores as well. 1 star is 1 star to many. read more

I've been coming here for aprox 20 yrs. I went in today at 0600 for 2 egg onion bagels, a pumpernickel, a half of chicken salad and a pumpernickel bagel lightly toasted with scallion cream cheese and lox. Well I was told they had no egg onion bagels and they haven't for a while now. Very disappointing so I walked out. The main reason I came in was for an egg onion bagel. The other items were just extraneous I'm doing a 16 hr shift and probably would've had that all; then a bagel left over for tomorrow's breakfast. Seriously you stopped making egg bacon bagels which I loved and now I can't even get something as simple as a standard egg onion bagel. Who doesn't have egg onion bagels. I make a 15 min detour on my way to work for this. It's just sad that after 20 yrs and going out of my way for the last 4. Now I'm going to have to find a new bagel place read more

Best bagels hands down. Used to have to wait to get them on my semi annual trips to the island but now they ship anywhere so i can get real bagels anytime. Friendly staff and more than just bagels, breakfast sandwiches are awesome read more

So I placed an online order, paid in full. When I got there to pick up my food, they told me the grill closes at 1. Mind you their system allowed me to place a full order and pay for it. Then the guy behind the counter just say sorry this isn't my fault, with an attitude. Horrible service I'll never return to this place again. I went to the deli in the same parking lot a got way better service and better food!!! read more

Early weekend morning, store not crowded, yet I had to wait because 3 out of 4 counter employees were talking while only one was working. 3 out of four were maskless. Only reason for 2 stars is that the employee who helped me was polite. Counter employees were young and need training and supervision. Management/ownership, please take this as constructive criticism. Will not be going back there. read more

Food was disappointing. Ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel toasted with a chicken cutlet. Bagel was doughy and under cooked. ONE small cutlet was placed on the untoasted bagel. Girl at the counter seemed to just hit random buttons on the register. $11.00 to boot. I Have no issue paying for good food and a decent portion. This place offers neither. Good elsewhere read more

Best bagels in Commack . Service is quick even when the line is out the door. Catering service is excellent

Every time I come here there is a long wait . Today I dropped in to get a roast beef and cheese on a bagel and literally has to wait 20 minutes although it was just myself and another person. The menu board advertised Boars Head so that's what I was expecting . I have no idea what brand meat they used but it was terrible . Very fatty , overcooked and hard fat along the edges. It was disgusting and overpriced . Will never go back . read more

Not what I expected. Ordering a sandwich , for $6.75, is just a slab of meat and bread. Any additional dressing , like lettuce, mayo, tomato,etc. on the sandwich costs more. And you really have to ask them to make a nice sandwich , definitely not like "Jimmy Johns" Just bagels for me please read more

The service was good and girl was very nice and quick. The bagel was delicious. Most mornings it's very busy. Most of the staff is very pleasant but there is one I think is a manager she has been there a long time and never smiles and is rude to customers and other staff working along side her. Don't know why she is so rude. I always just avoid her waiting on me. read more
