Something seems off here, this bagel spot has been extremely busy for years…read more Today I walked in at 8:30 am and only two people on line and staff is sparse. 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.

I have been a regular customer of St.James bagels for the past several years and have been going…read morethere for their great service and great food products, however the past two months have been very disappointing for me as they are not providing the service they are supposed to do, first of all now we cannot order over the phone anymore like we used to, the reason being that their phone is always off the hook and when you enter the deli you will witness yourself that the phone is constantly ringing and no one in bothering to pick up, I asked them why aren't you picking up the phone and they say that we are short of help and we can't fulfill all the orders , then two times they literally gave me burnt croissant sandwiches instead of toasted , I took the sandwich to show them and again the reason they gave was shortness of help. I have special attachment to this place but don't want them to lose their standard and also lose valuable customers, hopefully the owner is able to attend to this with seriousness and make necessary changes

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.

The kind of place you just don't find anywhere else, especially not back home in Virginia Beach. The inviting feel when you walk in, the regulars chatting up the staff, the air filled with the wonderful smells of fresh bacon, baked bagels, and savory spices. For my order, I went with a classic sesame bagel with cream cheese. It was absolutely fantastic. Soft on the inside, perfectly chewy, and the cream cheese was delicious. My dad was craving something a little different, so he got a BLT with chipotle mayo and avocado on toast. He raved about it the entire meal, saying it was one of the best BLTs he's ever had. It came with macaroni salad and a pickle (which I obviously stole from him). Even though this was my first time at Bagel Express, since I'm not local to Setauket, the whole experience was great. The quality, service, and authentic deli experience are definitely worth a stop. I'm already looking forward to coming back the next time I'm in town. If you're anywhere near East Setauket or just passing through, don't miss out on this spot!

They have an easy to use online system which I highly recommend because the inside of the store is a little chaotic.

Don't love the slightly high stress pickup process, but the sandwiches are totally worth it. Service is friendly enough, and they have a ton of lunch options in addition to bagels. GREAT bagels!

I made my journey out east to Center Moriches where i came across this fantastic bagel place. I was craving a nice lox bagel because I missed out on breakfast this morning so I made my way. I highly recommend trying out their bagels, even after going a little late, their bagels were still fresh and amazing. I was amazed with their selections of bagles even getting there in the afternoon, the quality of the bagel was great. I got their plain bagel with Lox. Perfectly creamy cream cheese with chunks of lox. It's better than it sounds folks because I knew I should've gotten 2 of them because the bagel was beyond amazing. Some people don't find the liking in lox, but it's absolutely amazing how the team at H&R bagel make them. Such friendly staff and even better quality of food. Amazing.
