the front of the store

My first time purchasing food, the bagels are really good and the prices are decent. I ordered a mini everything bagel w/ olive cream cheese, and it was $3.00. I have been to order bagel stores, and because I asked for a specialty cream cheese, I have paid over $4.00 for a mini bagel. The service is great. The cashier takes your order right away, and you also can seat there and eat.

Of al the times I have been here, 1st time I got such a bad attitude from the 2 Indian women who work here. Pedro and most of the staff are great. Then the 2 Indian women were talking about me openly luke if they were High School girls. I come here on a regular basis and I was shocked to get the attitude from them. Wow this is a 1st. Hope it does not continue! It really pained me to put this here. I doubt it will make a difference. 1 example, today, I asked for 2 coffees. I bring a coffee back to a neighbor. I went over to where they keep the ice and plastic cups to see which size, the young Indian person stood by the cash register pouting, I wanted to show her which sizes of iced coffee to make. "OH, I can't figure it out from here she says" with an attitude also. My son told me he will show her and said she was probably in a bad mood. 1 thing I know in retail is not to have a bad attitude with customers. Even when I was paying, she refused to look at me, which is fine. She asked my son for payment, I gave me card, and she was whispering to her other partner. The 2 Indian women were the only ones serving customers since it was after 12 noon. I really enjoy magic bagels, I come 2 to 3x a week. I guess I may have to wait for the others to serve me to get my bagels in the future.

I haven't written a Yelp review in over a year and a half, but I felt the need to hop on here and leave an updated review for Magic Bagels, which has gone down hill a LOT, both in terms of quality and price. For context, we've been coming here for years every Sunday for family breakfast with our parents. Prior to 2020, this place earned a 4 star review from me. The bagels were always fresh, the quality amazing, and the service decent enough for a bagel shop. Over the last year, the quality has gone down hill substantially, so much so that if not for the routine we've developed on Sundays I would have stopped coming here after the first attempt. The bagels are always cold and stale, and the service mixed (in fact on a recent visit I had one employee give me a terrible attitude for literally no reason... I'm always extremely cordial and even leave a tip in the jar every week). Ever since the change in ownership and staff, my goodness has this place been disappointing. We've been coming here for 5-10 years every week, and I've given them way too many chances to improve, but we are officially done with Magic Bagels. Too many bad experiences over the last year with few redeeming qualities. I'm really hoping they'll return to their old standards sometime soon.

Everything mini bagel with lite vegetable cream cheese and decf coffee

Had a mini everything bagel with lite vegetable cream cheese and small decaf- $5. Bagel was smaller than in my neighborhood bagel store and just a tad saltier that it reminded me of pretzel from the NYC carts. All good.

egg everything bagel with scallion cream cheese

I was in the area and was craving a bagel, so I stopped by this place in the late morning. It was very busy and crowded and hard to communicate with the staff due to the noise. However, the bagel itself was definitely well made and tasty! I got an everything egg bagel with chive cream cheese and it hit the spot. The bagel was fluffy with a perfect outer crust, and the cream cheese was heavenly!! Give them a shot if you're in the area and want a bagel. Just be aware of the crowd!!

What's in the fridge...

I got a poppy seed bagel with cream cheese and lox and fresh pink lemonade. The bagel was freshly baked and great in taste. The lox was good as well. The pink lemonade did taste fresh with no pulp and wasn't overly sweet. There's ample parking I didn't have a problem in the early afternoon. Customer Service was good I was greeted and served very quickly They didn'taccept debit cards only.

Absolutely excellent…read more I catered my baby shower from here and let me tell you - I eat A LOT of bagels. I travel to great lengths for good bagels. This spot has some BOMB bagels. My experience with catering was wonderful. The owner is very nice and really cares to make you happy. We obviously catered bagels, lox, whitefish, etc, but also got pastas and salads, as well as pastries and fruits. The presentation was lovely, the price was great, and the service was amazing. 10/10 I will cater from here again. Well done!

He first told me the sandwich is $10.00 and when I saw thr bill and I asked him why the extra charge he said because of the vegetables. That I could get a tiny container of potatoes salad or cold slaw. Where do they serve a tuna sandwich without anything on it??? When i asked him to put the 1 slice of pizza and the French fries together in a small box, he ignored me and proceeded to give me the Pizza in a brown bag and the fries in a brown bag. Only after my telling him again to put them in a box did he do it making himself like I am the one that is crazy. I walked out paying $25.00 for a plain slice of pizza, a small regular fries, and a can of seltzer. I find the prices to be outrageous and the service to be bad. The boss was standing next to the Spanish guy and didnt even look to see what was happening. Mind you, I spoke to him in perfect Spanish (I am a latina jew) but it was aparent that it was not a language barrier. I shall not go back there. The boss would do go to read this review and check on his workers. And maybe give good and enough food for the prices he charges.

I returned to the store and discretely brought the issue to the attention of an employee named Alec to a pile alarming other customers. Unfortunately he was dismissive and denied the presence of mold even as I showed him the item . As a nurse practitioner with a background in biochemistry , I explained the concern calmly and clearly. I was not seeking a refund and was willing to purchase a replacement ; my concern was the handling of the situation . The interaction was unprofessional and disappointing as I've been a customer since since 2010. This experience has reconsidered me returning in the future as they have been a Sunday ritual for our family for 15 years . I also added a pic below.

I also love the vegetable cream cheese and the smoked lox - everything tastes super fresh. The owner and staff are always friendly and fast, even during the morning rush. Plenty of seating if you want to eat there, and it's open 24 hours which is a lifesaver. Great for breakfast sandwiches too. Highly recommend if you're in Hewlett or nearby - this is my go-to spot on Long Island for bagels. 10/10!
