Wellwood Bagels & Bialys

I recently moved to Lindenhurst and I was having an extremely difficult time finding a good bagel place. Last Sunday I visited and I was very pleased. They bagels were good and they were a decent size. The man who helped me was very nice. I will be returning.

I want to give this place 4 out 5 stars, with the food tasting great I left it at 3 stars. I observed a male worker get frustrated and short with a woman for having to answer her questions about getting turkey bacon on a ‘Create An Omelette’. The store was busy, I counted 10 guests but heard people behind say the lines can get all the way to the door. I felt the worker’s attitude was uncalled for. Even for a deli, and I’m easy going but that was uncomfortable to watch.
Maybe I caught the guy on a bad day, but he was giving the lady a hard time.
Food is great, it appears to be a neighborhood gem.
Good:
–The Hungry Man on a bagel was very filling, warm and tastes great
–I saw the Create An Omelette and it was big one, with plenty of home fries.
–Vast menu with plenty to choose from
–Well lit store with lots of color.
–Food came out in a timely fashion, I did not way too long
–Huge parking lot
Bad:
–I observed a male worker get frustrated and short with a woman for having to answer her questions about getting turkey bacon on a ‘Create An Omelette’

These people are so rude, it’s incredible. At least 3 customers were yelled at in the 5 minutes I was there. The breakfast sandwiches however, are really really good. Maybe come in with a pair of headphones next time to drown out the negativity.

I come out of my way to go to this deli for breakfast. Great bagels and great breakfast sandwiches. It’s nice seeing the same staff every time you walk in. On weekends the line can be out the door but I don’t mind waiting. The staff is fast, professional and friendly and get you out and on your way very quickly.

This place def has good bagels, but the service is horrible. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl bc I lived up the block, but I’m done with this place.
The people who work here do not care about anyone. Half the time they seem overworked and rude. There have been times where I was skipped over on line because Im 5ft and the counter is over crowded with junk so the person on the other side couldn’t see me. When I was upset that I was skipped over, the guy behind the counter gave me a terrible attitude. I waited on a line out the door, YES I’m going to be upset when you skip me & YES I deserve good customer service, not an attitude.
The counter where the cash registers are is not big enough for all the orders they take so there’s pretty much no where to stand when paying/​waiting a really long time for your food. Whenever I order eggs, it takes about 10 – 15 mins for one sandwich.
Today the lady behind the counter was too busy complimenting someone else and literally handed my change to some random woman after never making eye contact with me even while I handed her my money. How rude can you be?
I asked for napkins for me and my 4 year old, the guy behind the counter did not verbally reply, he just looked at me and slowly handed me *2* napkins. I understand this place is busy, but it 100% needs renovations, better layout, better customer service & the bathroom walls look like they have never been cleaned.
I stopped coming here for a while and thought I’d come today bc they have seating and my new bagel store doesn’t, but Yep, For a loyal customer, I get shit service from the overworked employees.

Super busy, but what else do you expect from a bagel shop. Ran into a family friend. Local spot for sure. I liked my bacon egg and cheese sandwich but the coffee wasn’t hot enough and when you ask for cream, they put way too much in. Unfortunately, my mom didn’t like her cheese and egg sandwich. The sandwiches didn’t wow me and could have been hotter. Cheap prices though.

Solid bagel spot. As others have mentioned, try the French toast bagel. It’s sweet, without being overly so. Nice hint of maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar. This could also serve as a desert instead of a breakfast, but if you’re more of a donut/​danish in the morning kind of person this could be your new thing. Doesn’t need anything else (ie. butter), perfect as is. Salt bagel was also good, and not overly salty — which is hard to find. They only salt one side of the bagel, so I didn’t feel like I was going into sodium overdrive. $ 12/​dozen, which is cheaper than right where I live. Would definitely return.

Great everything bagels. Breakfast sandwiches are hearty and flavorful. The staff is energetic and friendly. Definitely recommended!

We found this place on Unilocal and it was everything that we expect and better. Al the owner is an amazing guy. His staff is fast and pleasant. The food, bagel and bialys are out of this world. He explained that they are good because they are hand made and not by machine.
I would highly recommend this place for anyone that’s looking for good food, pleasant service an a great experience.
Thanks you Al for everything.
Your new friends from Florida.

Omg I died and went to heaven !!! At the recommendation of the nicest man behind the counter my daughter ordered a French toast bagel toasted with cream cheese and it was extraordinary!!! it was light and fluffy and just melted in your mouth! Myolder daughter and I ordered the creat an omelette –what a bargain !! 6.99 for a huge omelette with 2 toppings s meat, a bagel and home fries! The omelette was cooked to shear perfection and it was huge!!! The bagels were the best we ever had !! I live in MASSAPEQUA but we will be traveling to Lindenhurst for the islands best bagel shop!!!

Tried this place based on Unilocal reviews last week and was not disappointed! Great bagels, huge selection, yummy cream cheeses. Just a side note: it’s in the huge shopping center in case you can’t find it, I almost missed it!

Best bagels around! Rare to find a whole wheat everything bagel in this day and age. Never seen it before here. Large and soft bagels with so many options.

Love love LOVE this bagel store! Fast/​good service every time. There bagels are truly the best around. They are more pricey than other bagel stores, but you get what you pay for. They’re the best!

One of the best bagel stores around. They consistently give out good product and never let me down. Definitely visit here for your breakfast needs

May I have the envelope please… and the winner is… Wellwood Bagel for the unforgettable French Toast Bagel! Maybe I shouldn’t be giving this secret away because they only make a few of them every day. Today a bagel changed my life. Tucked away behind the counter of the busiest bagel shop in town there is a bin with about two dozen of these rare beauties known as French Toast bagels. Sprinkled with a bit of powder sugar and a light golden eggy color these insanely delicious bagels need nothing but your taste buds to get that mojo working. I laughed I cried I wet my pants with just one bite of these golden treasures. I’m already thinking about them for tomorrow’s breakfast. If I’m hard pressed to fall asleep tonight it won’t be sheep I’ll be counting but I’ll be counting down till my mouth gets to watering on those amazing treats at 5:00am. Enjoy my friends. Enjoy!!!

The rudest bagel store I’ve ever been to. Everyone has an attitude whether it’s on the phone, or in person. I’ll never go back

We had a party in the Office and someone brought Bagels from Wellwood — OMG! They were HUGE and DELICIOUS! Soo many varieties of bagels (and varieties of Egg bagels YES!!!) If you have an office party, grab 2 bags of bagels from here — they will Thank You!

Wellwood bagels is my go to bagel store.
But just stopping here for lunch.
6.99 for a turkey sandwich. + $ 1 for Lettuce and tomato. +1 for a wrap = $ 8.99 for BASIC sandwich. That’s absurd.

I was pinched for time during lunch today. A colleague suggested we visit Wellwood because it was on the way back to the office. Well I was game for that — had been craving a nice Boars Head Honey Turkey and Tomato sandwich. I got it on a bagel — yummy. All three components were delicious an fresh. So good that I had to share with my colleague! HAHAHAHA The lunch special came with a side salad (mac, coleslaw, potato or a bag of chips.) I got chips and shared those too… not bad for you when you share.
The deli is a nice size and has a ton of specialty sammies and a daily specials board. Behind the counter were at least 8 different people ensuring you got your order taken. Congestion at the register but its okay — the food was good.
If you are in the area and hungry — check it! I will definitely.

I used to go to this place several times a week. I moved out of state about 3 years ago and recently came back for a visit. My first stop… Wellwood Bagels of course!
The food is amazing. No matter what I order I’m satisfied. So why the low review?
The two older women who take orders are INCREDIBLY rude! While on vacation I went to this place 3 times to get my bagel fix. 2 of the 3 times I was waited on by one of the two older women. Both times it was an awful experience. They were both rude, one rolled her eyes at me when I had to change part of my order (while she was still taking it down btw). I even told one of them who copped an attitude because I couldn’t tell she was talking to me that she needed to calm down because I simply wasn’t able to hear her.
I’d love to give this place 5 stars but the service… atrocious. Someone should teach those two women a thing or two about customer service. If you’ve lost customers recently, you’ll know why.
