Outstanding spot! And the best bagels on the entire East End without a doubt. Stumbled upon Eccentric Bagel finally today and absolutely loved it and Darren the owner. Great local spot, great menu and vibes, and they actually have gluten free as well! Splurged on real bagels though and they were all delicious. Shoutout ! read more

I know you've come for the bagels but I'm telling you, try the Reuben sandwich on lightly toasted Rye. It's an incredible sandwich !!! Truly one of the greats !!! Their bagels are also pretty amazing of course and they are stuffed with really interesting fillings and flavors. The one thing I could kvetch about is, they could do better on the amount of cream cheese they shmear on a simple bagel with cream cheese order. It's such a light shmear you'd think they are rationing cream cheese. What's that all about ? Ask for extra. Their bagel chips are pretty fantastic too. The staff are lovely. And with an Israeli flag up in the window and a gay flag flying high outside, the eccentric bagel is on the right side of history and proudly gets my vote !!!! ‍ read more

A little expensive for bagels/bagel sandwiches but for shelter island, nothing out of the norm. Bagels are well worth it. They have some fun favored bagels (I tried the za'atar) and some unique cream cheese flavors. It can get pretty packed but they are pretty organized and get your order prepped quickly. Glad to have this addition to Shelter Island! read more

The staff are accommodating and friendly. The place has a very community local vibe to it which I love. Also, there's lots of different market baubles to look through, which again, I love. The food is good. Lots of fun bagel flavors and sandwiches. Yummy large looking muffins. My bf got the jalapeño cheddar bagel with the hummus and veggies. I got the egg and bacon bagel with avocado on a poppy seed bagel. Both were delicious but I think my bagel was a little hard. read more

Absolutely LOVE Eccentric Bagel! The Rosemary & Salt bagels are out of this world--perfectly chewy with just the right balance of flavor. And don't even get me started on the bagel chips... they're completely addictive. The vibe of the place is so fun and cool, with awesome decor that makes you want to hang out all day. Everyone who works there is incredibly friendly and welcoming. I'd take the ferry over any day just to stock up--totally worth the trip every time! read more

To bizarre owner of The Eccentric Bagel who likes to make up stories in her head and put them into Yelp. Your weird inappropriate response is just another GOOD reason to avoid this shop ! First, how would you know who left this review to be able to state you have me on "video" ?Unless Yelp gave you my private information which is ILLEGAL .And Yelp does not have my actual photo either. Second ,as stated in my initial review which was censored I did not purchase food there but my family /friends did. So I saw and tasted the food they purchased and also heard their opinion on it. They like I did not initially notice the flag until after entering.I was actually so unimpressed by bagel sandwiches on offer it was only when I left store and was waiting for their food to come out did I see flag. Third, we had zero interaction with staff except to order and to use bathroom . I SUPPORT workers so I am not about to harass folks just trying to pay their bills or harass them for the poor decisions of a miserable owner. Fourth , my review does not state bathroom is public. It states bathroom is CLEAN! While waiting for my family ,a nice lady hanging outside heard me wondering where could a bathroom be and she volunteered sometimes Bagel shop will allow you to use theirs. We asked a lady at the counter who said we could go to back of shop and use the bathroom which is located right behind the kitchen. A staff person opened the door and allowed us in. Fifth , if some other folks had such a strong negative reaction to your political statement one might think you would reconsider the wisdom of your choice. Anyways seems you are happy to serve mediocre food in a mediocre space and provide a mediocre experience . And then if someone writes you a negative review lie about everything reviewed. F- all around ! Prior review The food is basic NYC bodega /deli level . Line was LONG and not speedy at 10:30 am on a weekend. Bathroom clean. Space up front tiny. My original review was censored by Yelp. Apparently YELP doesn't consider a company creating a hostile insensitive and uncomfortable environment for many of their customers relevant to my food experience. I DO! It's very simple -don't shove your politics of hate against down my and other folks throat . Sometimes a bagel shop should just be a bagel shop. And by sometimes I mean ALL the time . read more

Excited to have a solid bagel purveyor on Shelter Island. The fixings are dense on the bagels (especially in my favorite, "Everything"...! Tip: Keep your dental floss handy!). The sides like white fish and egg salad are delicious but very pricey. The coffee offerings could be better but it may be the "off season effect". Love the 80's vibe too! read more

Their number 5 roast beef bagel sandwich is all I've ever wanted. Perfect balance of meat to sauce, fresh vegetables and of course an amazingly fresh delicious bagel. Potato salad also a must! We also picked up great salad. Decor also funky and fresh, makes you just want to smile. 5 stars all around. Can't wait to see what this new company expands on next! read more
