    OMG, REAL BUTTER..... Yes , I said it. It's true. Hard to find a bagel store that still uses REAL Butter. This bagel store is so friendly and welcoming and then to take a bit of my sandwich to find real butter was so unexpected. Affordable prices, clean and delicious. I will absolutely be stopping back here.

    For a place that calls themselves " express" they never pick up the phone to take orders. If you're in a rush don't bother

    They yell at customers inquiring about their order. There are plenty of bagel places on Long Island that value having customers.

Big board lists around 15 "specialty sandwiches", they all sound great but not one has a price. They all say this: "$". I get The Zachary - fried chicken, bacon, american cheese and russian dressing. It was huge but the hero bread was not great. Actually the entire sandwich was weak - average at best. Chicken was bland, russian was so so and it didn't work with American cheese. Cole slaw was excellent. I'm not sure the price but the sandwich and a medium coffee was $14.43. Not worth anything near that price. I'll try a bagel next time. Oh well. Second trip: got 2 bagels with butter and they were good. Coffee was ok too. But man is the service slow. Not sure if its a staffing issue or they all just move at a snails pace. If this store was in manhattan it would be closed in a month. Good thing it's Suffolk lol.

(Ended up being $28 and some change as charged on my card) I start doing the math in my head since I wasn't given a receipt and the numbers weren't adding up. Asked the lady at the register and she started saying prices that weren't even written down on the board. The day before I ordered the same thing +6 cookies for a total of $24. Guess they make prices as they go. Lady workers inside were also rude and snobby. Left and will not be going back.

I said I've come here multiple times and never had an issue with you as I've seen you maybe even everyday so please remember my face for next time? he then says let's go outside so I can take a picture which I was confused as to why outside or why even a picture? so I said now you want to fight me or something? I just want the food? Until another worker just walks in and hands me the food no problem? I was truly baffled I won't lie and I hope the manager sees this review so he can talk to his employee look at the cameras on Fri July 11 2025 I want to say around 6:45am I cam in with a bag of chips eating them waiting patiently for the food and then went to the bathroom after throwing it out while he was packing the food and then you will see he ran to the door to fight me I kid you not it's insane the energy he had so early in the morning! I mean the woman he was addressing before me didn't get that attitude wth?! I have a picture of him tho and I'll be sure to let his manager know when I get the chance....or if I don't forget....

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. Signed - a guy struggling with living on Long Island again.

    I was extremely disappointed with my bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich from Bagelicious. For the…read moreprices being charged, customers should expect quality and reasonable portions, but that was not my experience at all. The sandwich appeared to have only a single strip of bacon broken into several tiny pieces. There was so little bacon that it was barely noticeable. The cheese was even more disappointing, it looked like only a small corner of a slice had been added. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was difficult to find. The eggs were bland and lacked any real flavor, making the entire sandwich underwhelming from start to finish. What makes this even more frustrating is the cost. If you're going to charge premium prices, then the product should reflect that. Customers should not feel shortchanged when they open their food. There is a difference between managing costs and skimping on ingredients. When people pay hard-earned money for a breakfast sandwich, they expect a fair amount of bacon, a full slice of cheese, and ingredients that are prepared with care. The overall impression was that corners were being cut while prices remained high. A bacon, egg, and cheese is a simple classic, but it still requires quality ingredients and reasonable portions to be worth the money. Unfortunately, this sandwich missed the mark on both flavor and value. I hope management takes customer feedback seriously because no one should leave feeling like they paid top dollar for the bare minimum.
