Check your receipts! How much would you expect to pay for 4 bagels (2 with butter and 2 with cream cheese) and one Snapple and one small apple juice? When my total was $35 I naturally questioned the prices and was told "everything's gone up!" I responded that I only got regular bagels, no eggs or bacon or anything that would cause each bagel to be $7?! I paid and then noticed that I was, in fact, overcharged! They charged me for an extra bagel and a liter of orange juice! How often are they doing this? With so many bagel stores in the area there's no reason to choose Town Bagel. I understand times are hard but there's no reason to overcharge someone and then gaslight them into thinking it's just things getting more expensive. read more

Horrible yelp needs to make a zero star rating. Service was friendly but slow , I waiting almost 10 minutes for a BLT, the store wasn't crowded. I spent $15 for a BLT and a Snapple! The only nice thing I can say was the drink was cold and the mayo was good. The bacon was dry and hard not crunchy but tough like bad beef jerky. The toast was burnt. Just a horrible experience just look how horrible this expensive sandwich was ! read more

Town Bagel - The worst BLT ever - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

I had a similar issue, I ordered an egg bagel with cream cheese went to pay the guy said $5.35...I said what? He stated the price went up for the new year. I responded no problem I won't be coming back anymore. He then said it would be less if I bought the cream cheese separately and put it on myself. See ya never again. Plenty of other bagel places in the area. read more

This is one of those situations where the business does not need to care at all about all these haters - their lines are out the door regardless! Not sure why all the negativity here. This was my first experience with Long Island bagels, and they were delicious! A bit different than the ones I'm used to at my neighborhood shop - in general not as jumbo, but equally chewy, super fresh (you can see them making them in real time in the back), and a great ratio with the cream cheese (it's not as excessive because the bagel itself is smaller). Lines are long on the weekend, but moves quickly and efficiently. People seem nice enough to me, not sure why people complaining about the service. Don't listen to the haters! This place has great bagels! read more

Excellent bagels, bad customer service. They regularly overcharge, get orders wrong, or neglect to put the full order in your bag. Complaints about this are met with outright hostility. I highly recommend Bagel Corner on Jersualem instead - top-notch food and pleasant, capable staff. read more

Agreed with some previous reviews. Good assessments. My experience, first the price, too high. A BEC and a small coffee $12. No thanks. The sandwich was good but I can go down the street to Otto's and get a better sandwich and coffee for less. Place is clean and staff used to be friendly but now they are just workers, no interaction except the cashier who knows the prices are too high but just plays dumb. read more

I don't know what is going on with this place but it seems they can never get orders for pickup straight but today was actually a walk in order that they couldn't get straight.. We come here all the time and my husband goes daily to get his breakfast because he loves the bagels here. If you order sandwiches make sure you check to make sure they are correct The past 3 orders in a row were wrong, missing bacon and given like 3 slices of turkey for a $15 wrap/bagel sandwich. I wouldn't come here anymore if my husband didn't like the bagels so damn much. Today I got my usually honey turkey, bacon and American cheese on a wrap and I went to eat it and it I literally has 4 crumbs of bacon in my wrap. So she knew to put it but then didn't. I have know idea what she did. Save yourself the time and annoyance and go to ivarones if you aren't getting a bagel or better yet, get your bagel bring it to Ivarones and have them make your sandwich. And guys would it hurt you to smile at the customers. read more

Town Bagel - Crumbs of bacon and hardly any turkey for $15 - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

Pretty decent. Good bagel, a little pricey but pretty good. The short guy at the front counter always has an attitude as if you're interrupting his day. read more

Cute clean good bagels large selection tables to eat nice people but seem put on and no one, at all speaks English. They were not unkind but made it clear they were over worked (place was empty) ‍ read more

I tried town bagel in Plainview and wanted to try their location in Wantagh. Order the standard plain bagel with cream cheese and a poppy bagel with chicken cutlet and Russian dressing and lettuce. My partner prefers a lightly colored plain bagel when we got the bagel home it was well done and she scooped out the center and couldn't eat the crust as it was too hard. I should've asked to see the bagel before she made it my fault. My sandwich was average. She put too much Russian dressing on it which I had to scrape off and the chicken cutlet she sliced it slices throughout the sandwich not a whole chicken cutlet quite weird luckily she didn't overcook it so except for having too much Russian dressing it was fine. The packaging was a bit substandard where as the salad was separate from the sandwich, not in a container with a slice of pickle a bit underwhelming All in all a standard bagel store that misses its mark from being a four or five star establishment read more

It really blows my mind that there's all these Long Island bagel shops like this one without a single non dairy CC on the menu. I mean, I was able to get tofu cream cheese at bagel shops in Manhattan and Brooklyn for the past 30 years, so I really don't get it. I guess Kashruth (Jewish dietary laws) aren't a thing? Just odd. That aside, the bagels here are good. Perfect size, good flavor. They have my favorite, pumpernickel everything. If I have tofu CC at my father's house nearby, I wouldn't NOT come here, but that's rare and I really just want my damn lightly toasted bagel with tofu cream cheese, please. One of life's little pleasures. So I'll probably head over to Bagel Boss in Merrick instead. read more

A question is it normal for a bagel place not to have bagels out when they first open

This place used to be good! Stay away from it now! Horrible!. I ordered a special right off the wall and he still didn't understand the English I was speaking sorry but that's the truth! A simple bagel with lox he kept asking if I wanted to roll, then I ordered another bagel with cream cheese. Took him almost 25 minutes for two bagels and then he ended up getting it wrong anyway and switched the bagel order around completely will never go back if I could give them zero stars I would. read more

Town Bagel in wantagh off of wantagh Ave in a shopping center, has fresh bagels, breakfast specials ( can not change) parking, and seating.

They didn't have ( even though sign says so) Fresh OJ No . Yet there wasn't any sign sign for it) only standard bottles for purchase. GOOD MORNING SPECIAL can't switch out a soda choice for coffee or tea Or Juice. Decor (Do see pix) lots Of nice things well decorated including a pix of Marylin Monroe, a cool collection of lunch boxes, decor on top of entrance and within foyer. Uber eats- or a place to go to get a fresh bagel properly toasted. read more

Town Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

Ordered a wrap off the menu. "Lite Bite". The guy who barely spoke English had no clue what I was talking about. I pointed up to the board were it's written and either he couldn't read it or still had no clue what it was I was showing him. He then had to ask someone else in Spanish what I was talking about. She spoke back to him with directions on how to make it. She then asked me what bread I wanted. I told her whole wheat wrap like it says on the board. I asked her if they can use fresh mozzarella and she said yes. The sandwich gets made and the gentleman brings it to the register and told the woman what I ordered. As she was ringing it up I asked for an ice tea and she ignored me and asked me for the money. I said I would like an ice tea also and was given an attitude. No wonder why this place has crap reviews. read more

I enjoy Jalapeno peppers and in every other edible form such as jalapeno cheese, jalapenos poppers, jalapeno cheddar biscuits - chips & dips too - I just can't confess to my internist these jalapeno indiscretions, he'd be pissed. And as a native New Yorker, there's bagel in my blood - been knoshing on 'em as ever since I had teeth enough to do it. "The Schmear" is the term (Curtis Dliwa to Bagels on Broadway 970AM) for spreading your cream cheese on NYC'c cheapest (occasionally considered Jewish) breakfast option. Dad would bring home a bag on Sundays, the silver Philadelphia brand and pink TempTee containers would be ready on the kitchen table. Bagels became bigger business in the late 80's followed by tricked out cream cheese options in the early 90's. Herb spreads and vegetable spreads were quite popular - the cranberry pecan and cookies dough sweet type didn't really catch on and have fallen by the wayside as other exotic cream cheeses spawned - such as caviar and Kimchi. Village Bagels had a vast cream cheese selection, visually, it's breakfast Baskin Robbins, schmeared not scooped. Staffers wanted orders - not in a rude manner, yet noticably not thrilled with indecisiveness as side mouth voices passed judgement, daily emotional reset being tapped into fat too early. But I decided my meal earlyish in the parking lot, the same didn't hold true for my buddy who was in a two day bender. My benders never have bagels - they're mainly focused upon sex, more drugs and an unspecified rebellion Such a generous portion was spread, teetering on overkill - and seeing the register ring at $18.00 it was the most expensive bagel spot I've been to in Long Island. I loved my Crumb Cake flavor coffee and this will push my review up a full star as it's daring to offer such a flavor, with Columbian as the only other choice. read more

Town Bagel - Lotta cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

I used to go here all the time when I lived in Levittown. So it's great that it was till busy when I went today. The staff was quick and the line went very fast. It still looks the same from when I went. I was able to get my good quick as well. Th bagel was very small from what I remember them being. Unless I just got that random small one this time around. The food is good, so I didn't really mind. read more

Every time we are in Wantagh, since my boyfriend grew up here, we have to hit Town Bagel. While the lines may be long, they truly do have the nicest people working here so it's worth it to come back. It's a Wantagh staple. Their bacon, egg and cheeses are always stuffed with tons of bacon, melty cheese and perfect eggs. There are so many deals that include an iced tea or juice, as well as really good iced coffee. If you have the chance, don't skip the iced tea because it isn't watery like every other place! There's usually plenty of seating so you can stay and enjoy, or take it to go. But even if there is a line, at least you can look at all of the delicious baked goods and vats of cream cheese while you wait! read more

Town Bagel - Bacon, egg and cheese on an egg onion - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

I received a surprise gift of a bakers dozen bagels sent to me on the opposite coast. The bagels traveled over 2,600 miles and when I opened the box, the aroma of the bagels was in the air. Still smelled fresh after sitting sealed gallon storage bags for at least 2 days traveling across the country. Thank you Town Bagel for making such delicious bagels. I got a mixed bag of bagels, cinnamon raisin, egg, poppyseed, sesame, plain, but my favorites are the onion and the pumpernickel bagels. I've prepped them for the freezer will enjoy them over the next few months. I have never been to Town Bagels and can only comment based on what was sent to me (this was only my 2nd delivery) and while the reviews here are very mixed, I am satisfied with the bagels--there's nothing like it where I am, so no complaints from me!! read more

Food is good, but service is slooooow and lacksadiskal. Place looks dirty and no cleaning in sight during the time I was there.

Yes the bagels here are pretty good although I dont believe inflation is at the point where it should be $3.50 for a buttered bagel, im sorry but thats to the point where you're just gouging the public. read more

This is my favorite bagle spot that is near me. I always come here because the bagels are delicious and they fill them! I usually get the same thing an everything bagel with creamcheese and loxs. I started calling my order in because it is always busy when I go and it saves some time. Only thing is since it busy it can get crowded very easily and they use to give free macaroni salads, last time I went they didn't offer them. I would recommend if you like your bagel toasted to tell them to leave it on extra or they will only lightly toast it this depends on your preference. read more

Town Bagel - Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and loxs - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

I see a lot of the negative reviews here are about the prices but all bagel shops on Long Island over charge so can't say I'm surprised. Price aside, this spot has some of the best bagels in my opinion. I used to come here a lot as a kid but since moving I haven't been back in 4-5 years & it still lives up to my memories! The bagels are cooked fresh on site (which you have a great view to while waiting on line). If you're heading there on the weekends, be prepared to wait on a long line! However, they have a decent amount of staff working so they try to keep it moving to the best of their abilities. Long Island bagels will always be elite in my mind and this town bagel keeps that argument alive!! read more

Always went here and then it changed. Bagels are good but the prices are out of control. For a bagel and coffee. Decided. To change. Good look for customers that throw their money away. read more

All I wanted was a plain bagel cut in half. when I looked at the receipt. There was an extra $.25 charge when I asked what the $.25 extra was for the person behind the counter said it was a charge for cutting the bagel. Are you freaking kidding me!?! read more

Great bagels. Every time I stop here, I ask if they have non-dairy/ tofu cream cheese... the answer is always 'no'. But, as a fan of their bagels, I hold out hope! They don't have an email or place to leave a comment... so I'm hopeful they see this and consider adding a plant based cream cheese or two to the menu (scallion is my fave!). Plant based butter would also be appreciated. :) read more

Haven't been here in years and got a cinnamon bagel with cream cheese. It cost $4.50 which is insane. It was just a normal tasting bagel, nothing out of this world that would make it worth coming back for. I get inflation but I mean c'mon read more

Well, this place did it to me again you would think I was putting in a massive order, one bagel, flat with cream cheese and tomato, and then one onion bagel with tuna... How can you mess up this order? What I got was a bagel flat with cream cheese and tomato and for my second I received a plain bagel with lox and cream cheese. How does this happen? My only conclusion is that this person does not speak a lick of English, but what is mind-boggling is that the order is written down so I am officially done with this place. They are clueless. It is amazing that they have the business that they do on how many times they screw up in order, unbelievable stay away from this place. Go to Long Island bagel Café on Jerusalem Avenue you much better and even the new bagels store around the corner better service. read more

This is the place to go if you are looking for slow service, overpriced food, and low quality. I've gone to this place several times out of convenience. However my last visit on 5/30/2020 will be my last. I certainly felt as if my food was overpriced after ordering and paying. I waited about 10 minutes for my order and saw every customer shake their head at the price. More than half the people complained and most of the orders appeared to have some issue. The staff was unhelpful and gave attitudes to anyone who asked for a straw, napkin, or questioned the price. One guy paid $18 for 2 bagels and 2 bottles of Tropicana. I highly highly recommend L&E bagel across the street from Town Bagel. They are reasonably priced and the quality far superior. And if you enjoy Town's salads, just head to Seaqua Deli down the road in Massapequa and pay 25% less. This place is simply not worth wasting your time and money. read more

Food is great but they messed up my order. When i went to pay a lady named Lori rang me up and i used apple pay. I was using a specific card on apple pay but i have two of the same. one has nothing on it while the other does. I accidentally used to the one with nothing on it and she yells loud and obnoxiously INSUFFICIENT FUNDS INSUFFICIENT FUNDS. she clearly saw how i annoyed i was and i proceeded to tell her yea i heard you let me get the right card.. honestly ridiculous because she's an older woman and you'd think she'd have some common decency instead of screaming like an idiot trying to embarrass me? and then once the transaction goes through you wanna laugh it off why don't you also scream APPROVED APPROVED also?? I'm hesitant about returning. read more

Figured I'd give this place another chance after the horrible experience I had with them maybe 4-5 years ago. NOTHING HAS CHANGED! This place is so CHEAP and they give you NOTHING but charge more than other bagel stores, including L & E located around the corner on Jerusalem Ave. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese, lox, tomato and onion... 13$ (only 8$ at L & E). You would think you'd get a decent sandwich for 13$. Check out the pics! One slice of lox! One thin slice of tomato?!?! and a few rounds of onion. So little cream cheese there wasn't even Enough to cover bagel!!! (Check out the pic)!!! How cheap is this place that they don't even put on enough cream cheese to cover the bagel?!?! Literally had dry bites or even worse, bites of onion and bread only numerous times! This place sucks and the reviews prove it!! You could argue it's due to Covid, inflation blah blah. Check out my last review 5 yrs ago and it was EXACTLY THE SAME! Simply put they are cheap scammers that charge high prices and give you !! Save your money and get a better product at L & E bagels located at 3346 Jerusalem Ave...literally walking distance around the corner. Had a bagel with lox there as well recently...although they were a little cheap with the lox also, at least the bagel had a reasonable amount of cream cheese and everything else! Done with you town bagel...YOU'RE SO CHEAP AND YOUR BAGELS SUCK! read more

I don't know why I continue to go there? The service is lousy. The owner is constantly touching the bagels with his bare hands, trying to straighten them out in the baskets. Some staff handle money and do not change their gloves between customers. Last year I contacted the health department and complained about the unsanitary conditions that I had witnessed. They were supposed to send an inspector to advise the owner and staff about proper food handling. I'm not sure if that even happened. Also, today I witnessed many flies landing on the bagels, bialys, etc. This store needs someone from the health department to come in anonymously and observe all that is going on in there. And then fine the owner severely so that these things never occur again. If I was able to give negative stars, I would!!!! read more

I think these are the best bagels around the area that is flooded with other bagel stores. They stand out for their freshness and quality. Yes their prices are high but you get what you pay for! My favorite is the egg everything with vegetable cream cheese. The bagels are always crispy on the outside yet soft in the middle. The spreads are ultra fresh and the staff does their best to accommodate the extremely long lines. read more
