Honestly love this place more than the other bagel spots in town. Their bagels are the freshest. Pretty busy but def worth it And Tina is amazing!!! read more

New to the area so I was really looking forward to having a bagel joint so close to me. The first time going the bacon was definitely undercooked. But bagels were fresh. So I understand that happens from time to time. Second time in was a not a great experience. I believe some of the staff need to be retrained on safe food handling. There was a young girl who took my order and handled my food. She was cleaning before taking my order and then grabbed my bagel with the same gloves. And while holding my bagel she used her other hand with the glove on and tucked her hair behind her ear. After she put my bagel into the toaster she came back over to the counter and rang me up with still the same gloves on! Then she walked to go back to get my bagel from the toaster. I had it and said could you please change your gloves you just handled cash! I'm not one to make a confrontation that is why I didn't not say anything the first time around as she handle it. Then she changed her gloves and continued to pull up her pants and play with her shirt. Unfortunately, I took my food and just threw it out afterwards. But I think this needed to be addressed in a review so everyone can understand the importance of food safety. As a new customer this was not a good impression to make. The business owner/managers need to pay better attention to this. I work in the food industry and as a manager I would call it out as soon as I seen an employee doing that and retrained. Hopefully this place speaks with their whole staff to ensure the food is being handled safely. That was very gross way to start off my morning. read more

Food and service was great. It's always busy so if you can call ahead for pick up. The staff is very nice and the bagels are fresh.

Great breakfast sandwich,,,, great service easy parking ,,,,,,, open real early. We really enjoyed everything there read more

I grew up in Wantagh so had many bagel spots to choose from my whole life. Moved to Bay Shore and found this lil place which trumps them all in my opinion. I always get the egg everything and it's just loaded with seeds, perfect size and dough texture. I always ask for well-done bacon, and they always get that right which to me is rare. This place has never disappointed me, coffee is really good. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for an amazing BEC. read more

West Islip Hot Bagels - A GORGEOUS egg everything with two eggs over medium well done bacon one slice of pepper jack and hot sauce - Bagels Near Me - West Islip, New York

Been going here for a while. Lately when I ask for the bacon to be burned it's not, like I mean turn it black...crunchy crispy. Like when I bit into it it crunches like a potato chip. Sometimes the cheese is missing from a BEC. Not sure what is happening lately but haven't been happy. On a mini there's all goopy egg it's not like cooked all the way and too runny. Thinking about going somewhere else. read more

Small bagel shop, but don't let that fool you....Bagels are always fresh and soft! Breakfast sandwiches are tasty as well. Staff is friendly and welcoming to all who enter. read more

Best bagels on Long Island. Always super fresh whether you're ordering a single bagel or a dozen. Bagels are soft on the inside and have the perfect amount of crisp on the outside. We are very frequent customers. Great prices. Great service, employees are always very nice and accommodating. Clean atmosphere and quick service, the line always moves very quickly. Their olive cream cheese is AMAZING, amongst everything else. 10/10 recommend for everything you need in a bagel shop. read more

5 Stars because the food is good, it's fresh, aaaaand the people are sweet. Thank you!

Once in a rare while I venture over to West Islip for the bagels in which I have set my standards by since I was a teenager. Turns out this place was not even on the yelp map yet!! I am astonished by this. It is so befitting and such an honor to be the one to add them.. Know what I think? West Islip is protecting their little hidden diamond where the bagels are so gooey and warm that all is right in the world with a bite. Its just not fair, we all should have these sexy simple classic bagels. Fancy cream cheeses and salads they are not- this place is old school. They do however do egg sandwiches, which I cant even think of right now or I will stop writing and head back in for one and Im way to full already. My buttered bagel was 2.67 with coffee- There are no tables but your bagel will not make it out if the parking lot alive I assure you. If you come in here tell em I sent you- they wont know who you are talking about but the shy 14 year old inside me who has adored this place since the doors opened back in the early 90s will feel honored. read more

This bagel is okay. I come in here occasionally and the bagels are really not up the par. I always get an everything bagel and it's not full or fluffy. The bagels are on the thinner side so I'm not really satisfied to be honest. The good thing is that this place has good service. They are always fast and get you in and out within minutes! read more

West Islip Hot Bagels - Not a huge fan tbh - Bagels Near Me - West Islip, New York

See all

I stop here most mornings on my way to work. The owner and his staff are the nicest, friendliest people I have encountered in a business setting. The bagels are good (I'm on Keto so I really cant have them but I do occasionally) and the coffee is the BEST. Looking at these nasty reviews makes me wonder if it is the customer themselves that have deep seeded issues they cant manage in their every day lives. That maybe they are the problem? The staff here are genuinely nice folks. read more

You know you are in Suffolk when you walk into here. The bagels are just ok and you know too are a questionable area when they also sell cigarettes at a bagel store. Place was busy so it has very fresh bagels but the quality is not as good as I'm used to working in Brooklyn. read more

The bagels here are good. Sometimes you have to wait cause it gets busy. Sometimes there hard to reach if you call on the phone but usually answer by the second or third try. They make a good egg sandwich as well read more

Bagels are soft and taste amazing. Staff is always friendly. Overall a Great Place. Egg Sandwiches are always very good. Great drink selection. Very Clean. read more

Been going here since I was 5 years old, very basic but hits the spot every time. Also a huge plus is they open very early , earlier then most deli's and other bagel shops in the area read more

I'm undecided about this place. The staff is very welcoming to some customers and not as welcoming to others. It's an odd vibe. Bagels & sandwiches are good read more

I like the bagels and sandwiches here but there's one thing they do that bugs me to no end. All of the staff wears those clear plastic food service gloves. Problem is, they never take them off. They handle money, boxes and food all with the gloves on. The only thing those gloves are protecting is their own hands. For the love of God, either use the gloves in a manner that makes them useful or be honest and just grab things with your bare hands. Edit: They still do it and don't seem to care. I am done with this place. read more

Stopped in here 3 times and not once did they get the order right. Could be one of west islips worst bagel shops. If you do not have a toaster simply say " we don't have a toaster". Don't throw it in the microwave. read more

Nastiest bagels in town not sure why it's called hot bagels they are cold and soggy undercooked the owners are rude steer clear to many other good options read more

VERY DISSAPOINTED!!!!!! I went to this bagel store to get bacon egg and cheese sandwiches for me and my family, but I was very upset afterward. Not only did they charge me the same price that every other bagel store would, but they only put one egg. The sandwich was so thin and not enjoyable at all!!!!!! They are cheating the consumer for their own profit and gain. maybe they think just because they're West Islip, that they are better than everyone else. Signed, a very disappointed and unfulfilled customer. read more

Wonderful place!! Very friendly owner !! Despite some of the rude reviews here, i loved it!! Great bagels !!!!

My boyfriend and I always get bacon egg and cheese on egg everything bagels here and they have our favorite egg sandwiches now. Very good. Only reason I'm giving 4 stars is because that's the only thing we've ever had from here read more

Love this place. It's so close to my house and the bagels are always perfect. It's the only bagel place where I can get a bagel that isn't going to be burnt or too hard - definitely my favorite in WI. read more

I grew up with this bagel shop and have loved their bagels however as i venture back to it for two breakfast sandwiches, the employees are always polite and nice however everytime there is an issue it's because of one of the managers being unprofessional and rude (everytime I shrugged it off). I had politely ordered two breakfast sandwiches for me and my mother. Everything was fine until they had told me my order was ready. After asking if it was good to go by asking one of the girls who confirmed, I had left. I had gotten home to realise that one of the sandwiches was missing. No problem I went back, when I politely and understandingly went to the counter and had said politely said (wasnt upset and i worked in a food place so i had no issues) "hi, i believe you forgot to add one of my sandwhiches to my bag" the manager while running around snapped at me saying "you mean you forgot your sandwhich" I was shocked at how unprofessional she was even when I was polite and was very friendly. I had gotten my sandwich, one of them didn't have ketchup or salt and pepper even when they asked me twice and I had said yes to the condiments(always happens I don't really mind). Never again will I go to my childhood bagel shop heart broken :( read more

This place is the worst they always screw up your food .. The owners wife talks about customers when they leave the store . She allows the young girls behind counter to say stuff about customers too . So unprofessional ..and the bagels are not good ... read more

This bagel store must be doing something right,the place is always packed.The owner and his wife are genuinely nice people. The service is fast and courteous. I have been a customer there for 20 years. I have a lot of respect for the owners because they are very hard working and caring people. They constantly donate product to all the sports teams and youth organizations in the community. The bagels are made fresh from scratch every morning and it's one of the few bagel stores that bake hot bagels all day. Their egg sandwiches are the best! Their chicken salad is epic and they use all boars head products. We need more family owned and operated small businesses like this in our community. read more
