Worst coffee I've ever tasted. Way overpriced and poorly made egg sandwiches. I don't recommend this place. Go to bagel lovers or signature instead. read more

Sadly this place has poor management and the employees are totally rude after they ignore you for 10 minutes They never have the right orders when you call in read more

DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Well now I have heard everything I was charged $1.50 to toast my bagel. All together we had 2 bagels with cream cheese and 2 small coffees it came to $16.00. The bagels were one of the worst we've ever had it had no flavor. We could have gone to the grocery store and bought some and eaten them plain and it would have been better. read more

First red flag, at 9:45 on a Saturday morning there was no line. Second red flag, barely any bagels available. Third red flag, the guy took my order, then took the orders of the next two customers, getting bagels for them. I had an egg order, so I would figure that should have been out into the kitchen. read more

Bagel was Delish ! Perfect outside crunch with soft ( not doughy ) inside . Staff were very hospitable and appreciative . Will come again

My boyfriend and I enjoyed delicious bagels here today and found the staff very friendy! We'd definitely come again.

First of all, I've been coming to this place for many years. The bagels were good. The service was excellent. Since the place was sold, the place has gone downhill. I admit that the eggs they make are good, but the service is terrible. The eggs are good, but by the time it's given to the customer, it's ice cold. Have you ever heard of a Diner/bagel shop running out of coffee? They did, and more than once. How can you completely run out of coffee when you have two coffee stations on the Customer side of the counter, and a coffee maker behind the counter. It boggles my mind. And, when I bring it to their attention, it doesn't seem to matter to them. The owner sincerely tries to do right, but the two boys behind the counter are clueless. In the bagel, business, good bagels, good coffee, and good service, or essential. The owner has got to get a better grip on his store, or they'll be no customers left. read more

This bagel store has gone downhill since they got new owners. The bagels are overpriced, and chewy. The sausage and bacon is definitely not real bacon and sausage, I don't know what it is exactly. The sausage patty looked like a hamburger and the bacon was a strange color, chewy and altogether not appetizing. We couldn't even eat it. Make the extra drive and go somewhere else. read more

good bagels, could eat a few at a time, surprised how well-textured egg bagel here is, it's not hard like everywhere else, would go great as a foundation for a meat sandwich. Try it! read more

Under new management, food is fresh, smoothies are made with real fruit. They have it all from bagels special sandwiches and most importantly a super clean area. Service is 10/10 very nice gentleman who cares for your genuine opinion of food and overall experience! Definitely a change from before read more

Excellent service, extremely nice workers. A gentlemen came around and asked everyone if they needed anything. I've never seen that before at a deli. I had a BEC and it was actually to standards as the old Strathmore, very happy in that note. read more

WOW, ONLY 2.6 STARS. I'm not surprised. The customer service I recently received a few days ago was not even worth 1 star. First the person who was taking my order just walked away before I was finished with the order which was rude in itself. Only for me to see that he has cut my bagel after playing with his ponytail with the very gloves he cut my bagel with. Disgusting. I was walking out, only to hear another employee ( Daniella ) Gooood Bye sarcastically. No customer deserves to be treated like this. There are many other choices to choose from in Riverhead to get a bagel. Don't just hire bodies!!! Because your employees can make or ruin your business. read more

I got a bagel with cream cheese and had hair in it. I tried calling but no answer. Nasty place

Ordered a sausage egg and cheese with salt pepper and ketchup on a plain bagel. The top half is a bagel, the bottom half is a roll. Very confused and disgusted. Never again, Strathmore. read more

I have lived in the Riverhead area for about 5 years now and when I first arrived I was thrilled to have a Strathmore bagel shop nearby and this bagel cafe did not disappoint. Unfortunately, in the last 6 month or so I have been less than happy with the service and quality of this "Bagel Cafe". In just the last 3 times I have been here, nothing has been made either correctly or to the quality that I have come accustom to. Coffee: certainly not hot! 2 sugars (teaspoons) please, not 2 shovels! Bagel: very cold, like came from outside cold. Egg Sandwich: Lets get the order right. EHSPK ROLL means eggs, ham, salt, pepper, ketchup. Service: There are two older guys that do pretty well. The taller thin guy runs like the dickens. My hat's off to you guy. The ladies during the holidays were terrible. Leaving customers standing around while they are sitting in a customers booth. Also unfortunately the younger staff seem to be like most other places, entitlement attitudes and just lack of fellow man respect. Sorry "Bagel Cafe" I will be going else where. read more

What do you have to do to get a bagel around here? Apparently, you have to be a clown with a shopping cart, a dog and a penis. I was ignored while three male customers who were not even in the store before me were helped while I was left to stand there- and wonder why I was invisible and could not get anyone to engage. Even the clown with the shopping cart and dog- who was asked to remove the shopping cart, so he left and came back in- got served before me. I will not be back- this middle aged female bagel lover will not be ignored. Three stars because I love there bagels. read more

Decent enough food. Occasionally they got our order wrong and we would have to go back to fix it. NO vegan options.

Its a hit or miss experience. Depending on who takes your order and who prepares it will dictate the price and quality of the sandwich ordered. I was a routine customer until it became a 50/50 chance on if my sandwich will come out satisfactory or not. When being charged almost 9 dollars for a roastbeef sandwich and getting next to no roast beef and the ends of the lettuce and then they forgot the cheese, its upsetting considering the price. I've gotten better premade sandwiches i stop and shop. I gave the place 3 stars because you can't do 2.5. Since the odds of my sandwich being satisfactory are 50/50, that's where my rating comes from. Please look at the pics of my meals i posted since words don't serve justice but a pic doesnt lie. I dislike the fact that i have to order my breakfast by my house and take it into work as it gets cold by then but at least they are consistent. read more

This place use to be a lot better, something has gone ary here, very slow service, (20 min) for an egg sandwich, and they were not super busy, they also got my order wrong, (asked for 2 fried eggs got one) the coffee was also not made right, even though I let the individual who was serving me how I wanted it. I will probably not be returning. The owner is usually here, however did not see him, perhaps that is why, On the up side the Bagels are good. read more

Super friendly. Got a bunch of bagels all of which were good. Coffee was fine, not great. Tried the french toast bagel, which was fine but not special. read more

Service is so bad here. Food is great though! Girl on the phone didn't even know their menu and kept having to ask someone else if they had what I was ordering (bagel with flavored cream cheese and a sausage egg sandwich). She also didn't tell me when my order would be ready I had to ask her myself, she needs to be trained on proper phone etiquette. When I went to pick up my order the young boy was rude and when I asked to add an easy extra cream cheese bagel to my pickup order, he gave me a dirty look, walked to the other side and told an older lady l added to my order, and she gave me a dirty look as well. Then he was overall unfriendly to me the rest of the transaction. Keep in mind I was the only customer in line everyone else in the building was already helped and sitting down/paid up already so it's not like he was busy! Food is always good, just wish the people who worked there were nicer and better workers. read more

Picture says it all. Girl was miserable that took my order figured maybe that's because of the horrible weather. The same girl made my sandwich which was such a mess I could even eat it. $5.50 down the drain. Disgrace to other strathmores read more

Strathmore Bagel Cafe - A complete mess. - Bagels Near Me - Riverhead, New York

I used to go here all the time on my lunch breaks until one day I asked for a LIGHTLY toasted bagel. I left and went back to my job to see that my bagel was so burnt it was black. The guy handed me my food like eveythigg big was great, knowing that he messed up and clearly he didn't care. I don't plan on coming back in to this place again. read more

Poor customer service skills. Be careful of sneaky tactics. Bagel was stale. Seats were dirty and garbage on floors.

Been there quite a few times, not impressed at all, today my wife orders an easy over fried egg on a roll, when she took the first bite realized egg was barely cooked and the yoke made a mess all over, unedible... I told the kid at the counter and he said sorry nothing I can do... I left it on the counter and left! I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Third time here; each time I have been promptly served and they even bring your egg sandwich out to your table for you. sandwich also comes with a drink and home fries for five and change. My go to spot when I'm in the area working. Bagels are great as well, can't seem to figure out the bad reviews. Good manners and a dollar in the tip jar goes a long way. read more

Grabbed some bagels and home fries from here the other day and was disappointed as I have been here many times before and the food has always been excellent. The bagels still have a wonderful flavor but the staff needs to put in a little more. The bagel was supposed to be toasted and it was seemingly warmed up but still had the consistency of one that hadn't been in the toaster. The bagel had WAY too much cream cheese on it, and it was all stuck together in one huge glob because the person must have just scooped it out and stuck it on there, thus making it rather messy and difficult to eat. The home fries were just potatoes, no onion or peppers. Sad for a place I used to frequent when I worked out here. read more

A nice little bagel shop in Riverhead. Very clean, the staff very accommodating with a wide selection of bagels even more esoteric flavors like blueberry and strawberry. Reasonablt priced-i would recommend and return. read more

This is my go-to place when I want an excellent Everything Bagel with Vegetable Cream Cheese. Their bagels, service and attitude are far superior to 'Signature' in town and their veggie cream cheese is perfect - the exact way it should be. I always get their Egg Everything since they're always amazing, large & have lots of seeds. Very fresh and doesn't even "need" toasting. Sometimes they sell out of most of their bagels so you may not get much selection if you go late. I've gotten good egg sandwiches here and also the worst one of my life one time that couldn't even be qualified as such, which I think was a one-off. Probably depends who was working there at the time. Most of the staff are nice and do a good job. Deducting 1 star due to the fact they STILL don't have paper menus or an online menu. I've been asking for years and it just doesn't seem like a priority to them. I don't drive & when I need my fiance to pick up an order, I have no place to look at their full menu when I want something different or extra (deli sandwiches, breakfasts, bulk orders etc) unless I go in person and look at the board. That's not convenient or possible for me but the place IS very cute to stop at or eat in. Wish they would step into the 21st century though and simply get their menu online and if not, have paper ones available to take home. That's not a lot to ask and it would increase their profits. read more

Horrible service gross food. Rude inexperienced staff. Do not go here. Looks dirty, need to clean windows. Probably will go out of business. read more

Would not go there again the employee was rude and unfriendly waited 20 minutes for a bacon egg and cheese sandwich when i received it the roll was greasy the potatoes were greasier soggy and undesirable. Truly disgusted of this so called deli read more

gave my boyfriend an allergic reaction because they did not listen when no cheese was written. He has a milk allergy that was stated and clearly ignored. Beyond irresponsible and unprofessional. read more

Strathmore Bagels Cafe & Deli is probably my favorite place to go get breakfast. Not only are the people there super nice and friendly, but the style of the dining area is very warm and homey. Like a cozy Christmas morning with a cup-a-joe. I highly recommend going there if you want to make some new early morning friends and need a place to stop before work. Also, that curly haired boy behind the counter is cute! read more

Absolutely the WORST egg sandwich I've ever had! We waited almost 20-25 minutes for one sandwich and one creamcheese bagel (and the place was not even busy). My egg sandwich was cold and the cheese wasn't melted (of which they only gave me a sliver of cheese). They forgot to put ketchup on it after the girl taking my order had me repeat it three times and she wrote it down. I've worked in delis for 15 years and can tell you this place isn't worth your money. It used to be good when it first opened, but I guess it's gone way down hill since then! Very disappointed! read more

Absolutely the best sandwich I've had in a long time. They have great quality ingredients and they can make some great sandwiches. Thank you! read more
