Bagel Cafe

Good bagels and salads. Unfortunately many of the workers there are incompetent and make mistakes on my order nearly every time we go there

I am not sure if this Bagel Café is affiliated with the bagel café in Merrick, but I found this one to be more reasonably priced. In terms of quality, they’re on par with other bagels in the area from places like Bagel Plaza on Merrick Road in Merrick. They also have a nice selection of bagels and spreads. Like other bagel places, they are very busy on the weekends. I have seen the line go out the front door though it moves fairly quickly. I do not like the parking for the strip mall that Bagel Café is in.

Just got a bacon egg and cheese on a french toast bagel from here and i have to say it was by far the best bagel ive ever had in new york. Absolutely amazing also friendly and hard working staff.

I have been going here for years. There is always a line but the food is pretty good and they make a decent bagel. Every Saturday I purchase a dozen bagels and during the week I go in to order a tuna melt on a panini. Today I was told they could not make one and I had to choose from one of their pre-​made paninis. I was the only person in line at the time and it’s not that difficult to put tuna and American cheese on a panini and press it. I just find it funny I’ve ordered it 100’s of times in the past and now they cannot do it. I will not be returning there again and will buy my Saturday bagels elsewhere.

Even with a long line, the employees work hard and fast to make the line go smooth and quick! I get the same thing every time; a sesame seed bagel with cream cheese and bacon, this is the only place i can get this and be satisfied besides when I’m in Brooklyn! Love the salads too. Love bagel café!!!

Probably one of the best bagels I’ve had in a while. I lucked out with a short line — but enjoyed a fresh toasted everything bagel with light vegetable cream cheese served to my delight!
Friendly employees, convenient location off jerusalem ave, fresh & BIG bagels, plenty of parking. Highly recommended!

Don’t understand what the hype is about. Crummy undercooked under-​seasoned bagels. On the upside the scooped out bread could be used for modeling clay.

So, a woman at work picks these up for us most Fridays (other Fridays a different woman brings bagels from a different place — not nearly as good.) It all starts with the money the coffee machine eats and never returns… all that is gathered up and PRESTO! we have bagels on Friday… Now, even though for some reason, the selection of our bagels seem pretty slim ranging from Plain to Everything (MOSTLY PLAIN) I must say that the bagels always seem so fresh and quite tasty. So much so in fact, they could change the name. :Fresh n’ Tasty: Not bad when it’s time for bagels.
It really made me want to check this place out over the weekend, thing is, the line was crazy long (I guess people really like em the way I do) I couldn’t wait and had to get on the road.
Good bagels but I’ve never been inside the place and met the staff.

Was rushing home and decided to stop by for a quick salad and bagel for today. Well i got the Thai chicken peanut salad and it was 13 $ a pound for some chicken, peanuts and carrots. Yikes im sorry but thats really expensive. It wasn’t very good either. The bagels were really stale as well. The one good thing was the Funyons steakhouse onions rings. But i won’t be returning. Wantagh bagels is better but their staff is MISERABLE as well. Sad that i can’t find one decent bagel place in Nassau county.

This place doesn’t need my review or anyone else’s. Just check it out on a weekend morning The line is out the door. I have been going there for years and have NEVER had anything bad. The bagels are the best. Cream cheese spreads are awesome. Sandwiches and wraps are great. Salads too. Eggs. You name it and it’s good.

I came to this bagel shop on the strong strong urging of the owner who claimed «it will be the best bagel you have ever had.» Well it was far from the best bagel.
To start off, $ 4.25 for a bagel w/​cream cheese… me thinks not. And it wasn’t even a tasty bagel
Secondly, I got lox w/​cream cheese on a plain bagel. I stressed to the gentleman who took my order I needed the lox cut extremely thin and not too heavy on it. Well, the lox was far from thinly sliced and I guess when I said not to heavy, I should have specified that for $ 9.25 I would want more than the tiniest bit of lox. Not to forget, that the bagel came with a side of mac salad and a pickle which was nicely thrown right onto the bagel therefore making the bagel real soggy… yippee!
Service sucked, food sucked, super pricey… definitely will not be returning.

To me, a bagel shop with great bagels is a 4 star. I give this place a 5 star for everything else. Since moving to Bellmore from Merrick 9 years ago, this was my place because of convenience. What I have learned over the years is this is more than your standard bagel place. Not only are the bagels phenomenal, but this place hits the mark on salads (tuna and egg), and a large variety of cream cheeses both regular and light. They also have a kick butt salad bar, which you can get great chopped or regular salads. The huge lines on weekends should be testament to how great this place is. If you are in the area, you really shouldn’t pass this place up.

This place is great. As most bagel shops on Long Island, their products are good. However, there’s a few stores that really just go the extra mile in their bagel-​making skills. Bellmore Bagel Café definitely falls in that category.
First, let me mention the parking before anything else. Like my good friend Steph, do not park on the street. It’s a big hassle since it’s on such a busy road. Instead, there’s a private parking lot behind the store.
The inside of the store separates the seating/​dining area and the counter pretty nicely. Even during the busy times (weekend mornings) the staff does a wonderful job at keeping the line flowing and the customers happy in a organized fashion. This is definitely hard to do and I give them a lot of credit since this bagel store seems to be hoppin’. And they’re super friendly.
Food wise, they have so. many. options. From your essentials like everything bagels and veggie cream cheese… to the unusual ones like Low Carb Bagels (this is a thing???) and Cinnamon Raisin cream cheese — good luck choosing one thing! And their egg sandwiches get a big thumbs up. They’re made super quick and are consistently delicious. I will definitely be back… like tomorrow.

Awesome bagels and my order is correct every single time.
I really love the whole wheat everything. Toasted with butter is my go-​to. For lunch, the vegetable tuna is awesome. Salads are good with your choice of toppings and they chop it to your liking.
I love their selection of creamers for the coffee. The coffee isn’t the best but the creamers help.
Best macaroni salad!

Easily some of the best bagels that I have had on Long Island! They also make one of the best macaroni salads that I have ever had. Check them out.

Cute little bagel joint with outdoor seating.
I went on a weekday so I didn’t experience any long lines. Got my usual whole everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. It was good.
I spotted some interesting cream cheese flavors like chocolate cream cheese. That would prob be delish on a cinnamon raisin bagel.
Ample parking in the back.

Probably the best bagels I’ve ever had and, growing up Jewish on Long Island, that’s saying a lot. The bagels are fluffy and perfectly firm and every type is en pointe; I usually get whole wheat everything or a whole wheat flagel. My dad loves egg everything. The sunflower bagels are amazing. The specialty French toast and cinnamon bun bagels are pretty amazing if you like sweet. They have whole wheat, pumpernickel, garlic, salt, etc.
They make all their own spreads including Nutella cream cheese. I usually get baked salmon salad, whitefish salad or tuna with tomato. Regular cream cheese is amazing. Scallion, veggie, lox spread, etc are all en pointe.
All egg sandwhiches are amazing; I’d come here when they opened at 530 after a night of bartending and get eggs, turkey and tomato. Iced coffee is dope.
There’s always a huge line that moves. Staff is pretty consistent and nice and accommodating. If you’re on LI, get a bagel here.

My favorite bagel place (along with the rest of the chains). Egg Onion with low fat lox spread is my favorite! The flagels are great too!
Sandwiches are always reliable too! Definitely get the Mac salad on the side!
Definitely worth the long weekend morning lines!

One of my favorite bagel places in Long Island. I used to work in the area so I was a frequent customer.
Bagels, flagels, cookies, muffins, OH MY! All are delicious. Sometimes they also put out free panini samples that are to die for.
The coffee is amazing. I typically don’t like bagel place coffees but theirs is really good, AND AND AND… they have SO MANY CREAMERS to choose from!
Line can get long, it moves fast. If they ever mess up your order, they always redo it. Really friendly employees.

Everything here tastes great! They have so many different types of bagels, cream cheeses, chicken salads, pasta salads and much more. Huge selection. Their egg sandwiches are amazing! This place is very popular, especially on the weekends so be prepared to wait on a very long line. Sometimes when I get there the line is at least 15 people deep. They have a lot of people working there so the line moves fairly quickly.
There is a parking lot in the back and there is some seats inside to eat. In the summer they have some tables outside.
