Smithtown Bagels

Nice service. The lady behind the counter treats you right. And I’m sure that the bagels are pretty good. But when I decided to get a ham egg and cheese on a roll, it was a HUGE disappointment. The roll was tiny, dry and flavorless. Add I had to double check to see if I got the 2 eggs that I asked for, as it seemed there was only one. But no, there were 2. Probably Robin’s eggs, they were so small. And to top it off, only ONE slice of ham and ONE slice of cheese!!! A busy place like this doesn’t need to be so cheep with their rations…

Messed up my bagels but heck they were awesome. And the service outstanding!!! Definite recommend going there

Yeah… This place has been here forever. I don’t want to trash the neighborhood bagel store. The bagel itself wasn’t too bad.
Just waiting on line and looking around, the place is dirty. The ceiling tiles are stained and when you first walk into the store, the display jars are all dusty.
The best I can give it is a 3 star meh.

Same two guys taking orders, prepared and cooked the food as well.
Line took forever. The egg sandwich I ordered, was so pathetic, and not worth the wait.

The bagels are delicious, freshly-​made and authentic; with a variety of unique cream cheese flavors to choose from. There’s sandwiches and food as well. The ONLY downside to this place is that staffing levels do not sometimes match the amount of customers in line during peak hours. Prepare to wait a little.

I’ve moved from LI to an area where bagel shops are few and far between and you can’t get the variety or quality that you can find here. I was happy to find lots of options at this café. I had a sesame flagel w/​walnut raisin crème cheese, nothing like anything I have tried before. Was quite larger than a regular bagel and I had to save half in the fridge for later. My friends order was larger and the staff member put in the wrong total which my friend had to point out to him and then he needed a manager to fix it. All-​in-​all a good place to get breakfast or lunch though.

Food is not bad, and they are always busy. One thing that really bothers me is that every time the floors are a sticky disgusting mess. Please clean up!!!

I’m sorry to see some of the less than stellar reviews here. I have never had a problem with Smithtown bagels, I find the employees to be most helpful «Seth» is the one I remember as I have him deliver on his way home or during day if they staffed well the best Panini ever… And their bagels are good! I say good because I grew up in N. Babylon and went to Wally’s bagels for many many years and they have bagels that are light and fluffy and you don’t feel like you ate a heavy meal afterwards. I find Smithtown bagels to be right between light and heavy, so that’s fine with me… I just don’t like eating things that make me feel like passing out afterwards lol…
And yes, there are days that all business have their good and bad days, but I feel strongly they have more better days then bad…

I’m not sure if I caught them in a bad day or not. Let me set this up. The day after thanksgiving at 10:00 am. There’s roughly 7 – 8 customers on line ahead of me. I only see 2 people behind the counter. Then another emerges so there’s 3 people working with about 8 customers. Chances of being served soon is very high. NOT!!!
We waited about 15 minutes before placing an order (not exaggerating at all) then another 15 minute for them it make it. Here’s the order: BEC on a bagel, buttered bagel and 2 bagels with CC. Not a big order at all. Not really sure what took 15 minutes to make.
Service was less than desirable but again, it was the day after thanksgiving so I’m not sure if it’s a huge bagel day so I’ll cut them some slack. On the positive side, the owner seemed to know everyone walking in and this place seems to have a ton of repeat customers. The bagels are pretty good and the egg Sammy was delicious. I’ll have to try then again on a normal day and report back.

This place has a nick-​name around the office: «5 Hour Deli».
The service here is very slow…
The food is really not great either, but it’s the closest deli to were I work.
The bagels are OK, but Strathmore is much better.
