    Everything Bagel with Butter other half is in the bag.
    Christine L.

    Just picked up an everything bagel with butter a little after 10am. The bagel was very stale and mediocre at best. I remember when the bagels at this location were the best I'd ever had but that was many, many years ago when it was family run by brothers. I believe there have been several different owners since then. I took two bites and tossed the rest.. a waste of $2.89

    This is what a $6 egg sandwich looks like. No egg!

    Update 8/27/21: They apologized and gave me another sandwich, which was appreciated. Original Post: I've come here a couple of times in the past and is now my second time there since what looks like a renovation to the establishment. It looks nice but they need to work on understanding and completing orders more importantly. It's the second time in a row with this issue. I'd like for this to be my main spot as it's close to my new place, but I might have to consider finding a new establishment. I ordered an egg sandwich for $6 and when I got to work, there's no egg. How does that work? And the Lady at the front is even writing down my order. English isn't her first language so it looks like I have to spell out my order. Some of the People I've dealt with are no longer working there, which is pretty unfortunate. I called and asked to get a replacement sandwich tomorrow. I'll see if I get it. Anyone who comes here, double check your order before leaving the establishment. I do Doordash deliveries on the side and I wouldn't feel comfortable picking up orders here for Customers.

    Solid bagel place. The bagels aren't the best on the island, but they are better than bagels you'd find anywhere off of the island. They're fluffier than the usual bagel I've had, which I enjoyed and definitely makes it different from other places and is sometimes exactly what I'm looking for, rather than those super dense bagels you find elsewhere. The quality is fine, staff is friendly and nice. The interior is a tad dated looking and can make it look unclean, but I don't feel that is really the case, but it is something to be aware of.

    I would give it zero stars if I could. Worst bagels never again guess it was bottom of barrel . I would of preferred if they told me they were out of bagels . They were burnt not dark but burnt out of 15 bagels 3 were eatable. And those 3 went to the kids . Reported them to Grubhub tried to get an email to send them pictures no web site. Never again

    My neighborhood bagel spot

    Another spot I can't believe I've forgotten to review. This is the closest bagel shop to my house. I love the ladies behind the counter. And I was so glad when they put the coffee station up front so you can make your own with all the fixings. Not sure why so many bad reviews it's a solid 3.5 star shop but I'm rounding up for variety & service. Not mind blowing but fresh consistent food. The bagels could be a little crustier on the outside but the inside is always soft & tasty. They have breakfast & lunch specials. The sandwiches are amply packed with your choice of fillings. Whether they be meats & cheeses or salads. The coffee is hot, like I like it always. Come in, give it a try. And I've been coming here for many years even under another ownership & they've never gotten my order wrong. 3-30-2016

    Toasted sesame seed bagel with butter. Dried bread.

    Updated to one star. I keep going back this place despite the constant issues with my orders and the language barrier of the employees. Final straw today...Ordered an egg sandwich for my 1 "singular"friend at my house and they made me two of the same sandwich for some reason then told I said "times 2" in broken English. I have never used the phase "two times" in my life a bagel store. These people are of very low intelligence. They wouldn't take the other sandwich off and already swiped my card then acted like they don't know how to refund me $6 on a credit card machine. "Sorry we can't refund you it's already on your card" are you kidding me? Learn how to run a business. Most of the messed up orders are due to them not understanding basic words. Bad business if you would rather lose a steady customer than refund them $6. You should be out of business like the last people pretty soon anyway. Cost yourself hundreds in business to scam me out of $6. Hire some employees that can speak English and this will stop happening.

    I've missed you so!!

    Bagels here are the bomb. Egg everything was just perfect, and the lox spread! I live in new Orleans know, so they first thing I get in the morning when I'm home is a bagel, and these are f'ing great. 10 dollar minimum on CC is the only reason i didn't give em 5. Love this place.

    Went in for a basic BEC on a whole wheat bagel. It was made pretty quickly so not much of a wait. I…read morewanted scrambled eggs but she circled fried, which I didn't see until after, not a big deal. The only issue is it was SUPER SALTY. I don't typically eat or add salt to anything, so I tasted it pretty easily. Next time I'll say no salt. The coffee bar is a "do it yourself" which I LOVE so that you can make it to your liking. They have hot and iced coffee. I did like this place, staff was friendly, I would return and I would recommend it. They also have a coldcut section, so you can definitely order a variety of foods/sandwiches. There are a few tables inside so you can sit and enjoy your breakfast. $10 for BEC on a whole wheat bagel and a small iced coffee.

    Long Island is home to oh so many bagel places and the Bagel Factory does an admirable job fighting…read morefor its place to be one of them. Came here for lunch, and my girlfriend and I had no problem getting our BECs. Despite the name, this place also does have a decent size deli inside too, so having that option for me I think always elevates any bagel place just a little bit more. Everything was fresh and delicious, even a little later in the day when you might expect that you'd get slim pickings on bagels. Coffee was only okay, but it's a bagel place, I'm not gonna ding them too much for it. There are a few tables indoors and outdoors if you choose to sit and stay, but you're probably better off to just grab and go. Parking can be a little tight, especially if you're going at prime time, but everybody moves quick so you likely won't be waiting long.
