The sausage & egg were not large enough for the bagel. This was also one of the more expensive bagel sandwiches I've bought in the area and I don't think the quality matches the price. The place also felt messy and unclean. Maybe the quality and cleanliness would have been better if I got food first thing in the morning, but I don't think I'll be heading back here anytime soon given the other options in the area.

So I made my way over there to try em out. Long Island really rapes you on a bacon egg and cheese, or at least this crap-hole does. Paid something close to $9 and it was god awful. I have a hard time believing this ever could have been good. I see 80-90% of the pix on here are from one dude three years ago, some look good n all, but this place is anything but. Hard pass.

Something felt completely different. The was NO cream cheese in the display case and staff seemed confused on what they should be doing. I ordered egg whites and bacon on a roll. When the server went to ring me up I asked if it included a juice or coffee or tea, she replied yes. It's a pet peeve of mine that if something is included in the price the server should offer it to you. Bad business in my opinion. The sandwich was ok, definitely smaller portions than before but still ok, the coffee on the other hand was horrible. Tasted like a dirty pot of grinds. Not sure when I will be back to try again.

The longish sort of line seemed promising, but the hold up wasn't because everyone needed a bagel from here, it was only because of a discrepancy of some sort. The staff was hustling, and eggs were being flipped right behind the counter and everything looked like it was kept clean. The service is a bit subpar. I was skipped over, which seemed to be an honest mistake so I didn't fuss. More pissed at the dude that speak up to say I was next. I guess chivalry is dying. The bagel itself was also subpar. I ordered an everything flagel with olive cream cheese. It wasn't bad by any means it just wasn't anything special. The star of the show was the cream cheese. Wasn't too olivey and you can tell it was pretty fresh. Nothing was labeled so I couldn't tell you what other cream cheeses they had. The menu was digital and was hung on the wall behind the counter. It didn't have much besides the list of bagels and before I could try to read more it would flash off. This place is fine in a pinch, but I'm not running back any time soon.

That being said, I have never had a pleasant customer service experience. All the workers I have interacted with have been very negative and slightly rude. This morning I went in and it was busy, to be expected on a Sunday morning. I did not mind waiting. However when it was my time to place my order I walked up to the counter with enthusiasm and said to the girl at the counter "hi how are you". As she looked at me with a look of annoyance she responded with "what can I get you". Once I told her she just walked away and said nothing. I fully understand being tired or overwhelmed, like I said it was quite busy, but I do not think that that is an excuse to be nasty to customers. Especially considering I came at her with positivity and it was not returned. Not to mention they did not seem to be under staffed as there were many employees behind the counter. Now as I said this is a common occurrence at this place and I have gone at times where there has been no one in the store and still received this attitude. I do enjoy this establishment and will continue to return. I just think this is an issue to take into consideration.

Unfortunately, in Las Vegas where I now live, Einstein Bros which could not make it on Long Island, is the main source of bagel shops.      My Dad, whom I was visiting on Long Island is well aware of my fondness for the Long Island bagel. When my Dad was returning an Amazon package next store at the UPS Store on May 15, 2024, he decided to stop by Holbrook Bagels to treat us to a bag of bagels that would be our breakfast the next two days. When we walked into the shop around noontime, it was quiet. We walked into a small bagel shop that did not have the bells and whistles of a plenitude of seats and interesting interior. It was pretty much a small mom and shop bagel shop that appeared to be more oriented towards take-out. At noon-time, the bagel display had a healthy number of bagels as seen in my picture. On this quiet day, the customer service was solid. Related to a good customer service experience, Holbrook Bagels was a breeze to get in and out of.     Fast forward to the next two breakfasts my warmed up poppyseed bagel (added cream cheese) tasted really good. My Dad says the same about his pumpernickel bagels. This gave me the impression that they are really good bagels that I would enjoy eating again for breakfast.
