Long Island Bagel Cafe, Bellmore NY

Seems expensive for what it is. I can get cheaper sandwiches of similar quality elsewhere. Parking is also an issue here, as the lot isn't all that big and is usually over full on weekends.

Very good food. Only complaint is the service can be very slow at times. I understand it's extremely hard to get help these days so sometimes you just have to be patient.

Constantly messes up orders. They don't write down your order and try to commit it to memory and the next thing you know your bagel is drenched in ketchup you didn't and would never ask for. Bagels are great but the people are sloppy.

Slowest bagel store ever on weekends, line barely moves. I managed bagel store in my twenties, this is not how lines and speedy service should work on a busy weekend Bagels are, GREAT, but so are others in South bellmore and merrick and lines are quick. They should make a line for bagels only, instead of waiting for a dozen bagels behind someone getting 5 egg sandwiches. Need to work in getting people and out. Possibly add a griddle or sandwich only line. They could be great if they get it together. I still visit frequently, when I see no line and close to home. My 2 stars is based on service not on the Bagels

Got here waited in line for 15 mins, then finally I called the store and they told me too go behind parking lot of the store for pickup. The owner came out was very rude and said that you cant be here so you have to go back in the line again in front of the store. They miss guide there customers and not friendly at all. I dont recomend this place at all!

My son called in an order for an egg sandwich and they said they would deliver for free. But they are charging him a small order fee and service charge.the cost was over $10 (normal cost $5). We then added another egg sandwich and toasted bagel and they said the cost was $25.this normally costs $14.00 at most. Some stores are doing the right thing and others are taking advantage of their customers. We will never go there again and I think they will just keep doing this because they think they can do whatever they want.

Love the bagels to the point that I crave them but this is the second time the staff has been just awful. The first time (last month) I think the owner or manager as soon as I walked in huffed and rolled his eyes. He asked for my order and after every item I ordered he huffed and rolled his eyes at me. God forbid I asked for salt and pepper: serious attitude. Honestly if I wasn’t so hungry for an egg sandwich and someone else wasn’t expecting one I would have walked out. I gave it another chance and the lady this morning was rude, but an angel in comparison. I would say I won’t be back but it’s close to my in laws. All I know is that if my boss ever caught me treating a customer like that I would be fired on the spot. I guess it’s different if you’re the manager/owner or whatever

Run off the mill bagel place with good eats and good portions. Surprising they don’t do a coffee or a juice with your breakfast sandwich for their prices but everywhere is different. But the reason for the one star was the customer service and attitude in this place was absolutely HORRENDOUS. It was absurd the way the owner and the other woman working behind the counter were talking to their employees and other customers! Not just me! It was talking down and making smug remarks to people and about their orders! Short spoken and a lot of attitude. I will not be recommending this place and I will not be returning.

I've been coming to this place for as long as I can remember. Their bagels are amazing, and the best I've had anywhere. For real, this place is essential to the ~long island experience~. I've never once been disappointed, and despite the fact that it can be busy, the employees are really easygoing! Definitely recommend.

If my rating was based solely on taste I would give this shop a 4.5 but there are other things you have to consider. The service is terrible. If you just want bagels you have to stand in line with everyone getting these out of the ordinary breakfast sandwiches that take the staff forever to make. Get a separate line just for bagels! Anything you buy all gets thrown in the same bag
Recently I purchased cream cheese and the dirty container that was sitting on the shelf, then the counter was put inside the same bag with my bagels.
It’s definitely better than any other bagel around but it seems like the owners have a bit of an attitude.

These are simply the best bagels.anywhere It's usually very crowded but the staff is well trained and the line moved quickly.

Place is always busy! The bagels are delicious! The salads taste great. The owner Ralph and his wife Trish are excellent kind loving people. The sandwiches that they prepare are also delicious. The wraps are good and the coffee is especially good! If your looking for a nice, clean descent place to hang out and eat or an order to go, this is the place! Keep up the good work Ralph!
