Very few tables at this place. I recommend ordering out. The whole staff was eager to take our order. They also recommend cash instead of card. I think it's super unique how they have sweet and savory cream cheese spreads. I don't think you could go wrong with any of them. Iced vanilla coffee 3/10: weak. Bland. You could find something better at another establishment. This is the only reason they didn't get five stars. Everything bagel with bacon/scallion cream cheese 12/10: if I lived around, I'd get this bagel combo every day. It was that good. It's true that bagels are tastier in NYC. AMAZING! I was still thinking about the crunch and freshness of this bagel HOURS later. You can't go wrong with the bacon/scallion cream cheese. Perfect for breakfast. read more

Product quality has gone way down: Their whole wheat products are not really whole wheat....When cut open u see no whole wheat grains. They seem to be white flour artificially colored dark with areas of white dough where the coloring was not mixed in properly. This presents a health concern if you are sensitive to food coloring....also people choose whole wheat to avoid white flour for nutrition purposes.... so just getting a white flour substitute is shameful! In addition pricing is astronomical for the quality you get! read more

These are wonderful people, wonderful bagels, and a wonderful experience! I will definitely be back.

Came to order a couple of breakfast sandwiches (bacon egg and cheese) I was told they don't serve eggs! What type of bagel store doesn't sell eggs??? read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Local bagel shop Closes at 4 on Sunday. The three teens working in there deserve a raise they were great. Also this place has cool flavors like French toast bagel and walnut cream cheese and Oreo Cream cheese. I came for a bagel with lox but decided on veggie. Regular local win. Score! read more

I like to have a flat bagel. every now and then. I came hear a few weeks back and was able to satisfy that urge and was not disappointed. I love mine with scallion cream cheese. The bagel and cream cheese was fresh and delicious. The only issue I have is that the bagel seemed pricey at 4.75 for one. But perhaps it's been too long. Since I've regularly bought bagels. I thought it was 4.07 the last time I was here, 3 weeks ago. As an aside, on my 2nd visit here, I made an error by going into a store 2 doors down that was a deli, not a bagel place. They don't have the flat bagels and redirected me. Magic Bagels had a line and it grew longer after that checked out. That was a testament to me that they are well regarded in the business. I'll definitely be back. read more

They give you very little cream cheese, which is always a dealbreaker for me. Especially after spending over seven dollars for 1 bagel and a small coffee. read more

This my second time revisiting the location. My husband was charged $27.00 for 3 bagels , 2 water bottles and a medium coffee. I asked the women what did you charge $27.00 for? She tells me everything went up the prices. I told her I understand but give me an itemized receipt. After she did the math and charged correctly the total was $18!!!!!! How do you charge someone $9 extra for basic breakfast bagels? She apologized and gave the $9 back. But I got the feeling they do this when location gets busy or to certain people. Please always pay attention to your receipt!!!!!! Will not be going back anymore. read more

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. read more

Best bagels on the south shore. I grew up in Valley Stream and whenever I'm in the area I pop over to MB to pick up a dozen for my family. Great people and delicious bagels. My partner loves the variety of cream cheeses! I am trying to find a Magic Bagels tee shirt to send my sister because she has since moved to Michigan and would get a real kick out of it. Any chance you have tee shirts for purchase? read more

Half of my order was incorrect. Wrong bagels given Bagels really stiff and hard to bite into. Really poor quality bagels. Will never purchase from this shop again. read more

Hands down, THE best place to get a lox bagel !! Magic Bagels does get crowded but there is some type of order; even with the large crowd. I've visited three times, and every time the bagels are fresh. I'm currently addicted to their lox on a pumpernickel bagel. (Tip: don't get the lox that's pre mixed. It's fresher when the salmon and cream cheese are separated) Highly recommend! read more

The worst customer service ever and the bagels are tasteless and hard. The Indian women with the glasses has no manners and clearly doesn't understand the meaning of customer service. They behave as if the bagels are free, they don't even taste good. Don't patronize this business it's a waste of time and money. read more

Good local bagel store. Their bagels are fresh and tasty. However, because they don't use any preservatives the bagels get hard after a day or 2 (if you're buying them to go). Other than that, it's a nice place. Their prices are reasonable and their staff are friendly and helpful. read more

I didn't even order anything. I was going to order some thing and I thought to use the restroom before I order. I don't mind if the seat is up but when the seat bottom looks like it hasn't been scrubbed in a while, layer of poop spray on it and then I go to wash my hands and the soap that falls to the sink is so built up. It doesn't look like anyone's wiped it down in months. If that's how they keep their bathroom, I don't want to eat their food. Y'all need to swab your bathroom from top to bottom. read more

I was in the mood for a bagel and according to yelp this is the place to check out. It wasn't too far from my house so I figured I should give it a gander. Im a fan of the everything bagel and I noticed that they have an assortment of their regular sized bagels then they have mini cinnamon, everything, and plain bagels. I decided to go all in and get their regular sized everything bagel with the lox spread for $3. They were not stingy with the spread at all which I can always appreciate. I've never had the lox spread before but its worth knowing that it is a bit salty so maybe a plain bagel would be good in this case. They have a wide array of spreads that I would like to try out so I'll be back for sure. read more

Magic bagels has been a staple in the community for years. It was family own and operated until recent years. The bagels are baked on the premises and served fresh and there is a variety to choose from. They even have flat bagels and rainbow bagels! They offer fruit salads, veggie tuna, chicken and egg salad, lox and a variety of cream cheeses (veggie, chocolate chip, etc.) Its on the pricey side. The servers are usually friendly, but some can be skimpy when making sandwiches. There are lines at time but it moves fast. There is a bathroom and booths if you care to dine there. read more

They don't use eggs here, BEC doesn't exist .. don't know about the bagels but I came for a BEC

Worst bagel EVVVERRRERE! Very Chewy! New boss/management is so rude to her employees and guest don't go here save your money!

These bagels aren't fresh hand rolled bagels. The bagels are pretty horrible if you ask me. Price is up there also and on top of thag staff loves chit chatting with one another instead of working probably wouldn't ever come back unless I had no other choice read more

First time here and it's okay. I had a toasted onion bagel with butter. And I should say I had butter with toasted bagel. Dudes... chill on the "with bitter" please understand that does not mean "drenched". Gone are the days when they used to actually take the time to spread butter on. 3 stars for the level of toasted, price and semi fresh. read more

This bagel shop is A-OK, average at best. I came in this morning (Sunday) for a few bagels for myself and my parents. Prices are low, especially for Long Island: $1.50 for a bagel with cream cheese $1.25 for a bagel with butter The everything bagels were pretty good, standard. But my mom said her cinnamon raisin bagel was the worst she'd ever had. It was small and stale and hard. We don't eat bagels often so I was disappointed that she wasn't satisfied. Sunday morning is prime time so there is no reason for them to be serving subpar bagels; it's not like I went in the afternoon or near closing... Seems like this place may be a hit or miss. I might come again since it's close to home but there are plenty of better bagel shops in Hewlett/Woodmere as well (Bagelo, Bagel Boss, etc.) Also, cash only. read more

I am very sad to right this review. Magic bagels used to be the best. Recently they have been not good. Today I ordered a egg bagel with cream cheese not toasted and instead I got a plain bagel with cream cheese toasted. This is also not the first time I have asked for it not to be toasted and it was. Fix your staff to listen because your losing customers. read more

The grill here closes at 11 and you cannot get any egg sandwiches after that, we opted for a bagel with butter and it was swimming in oil went through the paper and through the bag. I got an everything bagel with cream cheese, and it was just OK. read more

Horrible ! at one point it was good bagel store.it became very disorganized couldn't get my order right..

Practically 5 stars because they have French Toast bagels that taste just as good if not better than Utopia Bagels. Regular coffee also wasn't bitter and heinous either taken black with one (heaping) sugar. Simple, straightforward bagel shop with affordable prices and ample parking. Next test will be how well they do a bagel sandwich. Definitely a go-to spot for a quick bite and/or breakfast fix if I'm ever in the neighborhood. read more

Went on a Sunday, around noon so maybe the bagels are not so fresh by then, but I ordered a plain to have fresher chance. Note to self, get it toasted because it was a bit cold and not soft so toasted helps. read more

I always got my bagel with cream cheese from here when I was a teenager. The prices used to be good before but now they just inflated everything. Still, their bagels are very delicious. I'd say to stop by in the morning hours if you do decide to get bagels because these get kind of cold and hard by the afternoon to evening time. The manager always has a problem with everyone. Their workers are rude and racist. I heard lots of things about their workers from different people. But the food is great. read more

worst bagel ever. so chewy I thought my jaw was going to break. It was a French toast bagel and didn't taste anything like French toast.

"Mini plain bagel toasted with chicken salad please! & Small iced coffee two sugars and vanilla creme". This is my order at Magic bagels almost 90% of the time I go there... It never gets old! Magic is a Valley Stream favorite. It's a tie between affordability and the variety of bagels/bialys/muffins/and salads they have stored behind the counter. I only needed to carry a $5 bill with me everyday for lunch and that was even a bit much for my order! No wonder I kept coming back. Or was it the friendliest staff in town!? I've been in Magic so much that the staff has grown to welcome me by name and even remember my order. Before I even finish my sentence, they know what I want. Order Plot Twist: French toast bagel with creme cheese, blueberry muffin top, and an iced tea (sorry chicken salad). read more
