Gateway Bagel is my family's new breakfast spot fo bagels on our way thru LI. Convenient location whether driving or taking LIRR. My family had lox spread with toasted garlic bagel, bacon egg and cheese on cinnamon raisin bagel and pancakes with bacon. Everything was amazing with great portions. We will be back for the French toast bagel. Shout out to the owner Yim for her hospitality greeting everyone that comes in! read more

Gateway Bagels & Deli - Bacon egg and cheese, Lox Spread on a Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

Decent bagel. Good chew with a crisp crust. Respectable schmear of cream cheese. $5 and change $6 w/ the tip. Not cheap. PS... anyone who orders a cinnamon bagel, scooped with bacon and American cheese and complains about price shouldn't be leaving reviews. read more

Sorry to keep whining about the same thing but geez, these people take a regular bagel, smoosh it down before baking it flat, spread a little cream cheese on it, and for that they charge you five dollars. Combined that with a small container of juice not even the size of a cup and I'm paying over seven dollars for a bagel with cream cheese and a little orange juice. When do I get my chance to gouge society? Answer: I never would. Have a good day. read more

Hello Wantagh community, I rarely leave negative reviews for any business, but today I had such a disappointing experience at Gateway Bagel that I felt it was important to share. I ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel, scooped out, toasted, with bacon and American cheese. When it was time to pay, the lady at the register told me the total was $6.52. This seemed very expensive to me, especially considering that a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is $6.75. I asked if the price was correct, and she confirmed it was. I expressed my dissatisfaction and mentioned that I wouldn't be coming back due to the high price. Her response was simply, "No problem," without any attempt to address my concern. When I opened my sandwich, I was even more disappointed. As you can see in the picture below, the sandwich was very underwhelming, with what appeared to be just one small piece of bacon on each half. Stay away wantagh. read more

Not worth the price. Paid $11+ for a blt and it was as cheaply made as could be. Two slices of tomato, two slices of bacon- even the lettuce was light. Wouldn't return as there is much better within walking distance. read more

Gateway Bagels & Deli - BLT on everything bagel was as weak as possible - Bagels Near Me - Wantagh, New York

I reviewed this shop before, but after 6 years a revisit was in order. Sadly, my experience the 2nd time did not live up to the first (see photo & diagram please). In short, my bagel was overloaded with cream cheese, topped by an *extremely* and criminally thin layer of salmon - not at all what I was expecting for the price they charge. The bagel itself was good. But if you slap a giant slab of cream cheese on it, how is it possible to taste anything else? For kicks I calculated the ratio as 2:1 bread to cream cheese, 5:1 cream cheese to salmon, and 9:1 bread to salmon(!). But forget the math, bagel folks of America: you deserve better than the lopsided monstrosity that you will be served here. There are plenty of upgrades within driving distance that will give you what you pay for. Thank U next. read more

Love this spot for a quick lunch or just to buy a dozen bagels. Food delicious, bagels fresh, service great, staff friendly and helpful.

This is my first time ordering from Gateway... I usually don't review a place until I've been there a few times to consider their consistency... but I am so impressed that I feel compelled to review now. I ordered a chicken cutlet hero with avocado and pepper jack cheese. The hero was well proportioned, warm and crispy. The avocado was fresh and perfectly ripe. My coworker ordered a chicken cutlet hero with hot sauce, pepper jack cheese and bacon. His sandwich was deliciously consistent with mine. Despite ordering for deliver with UberEats, the waffle fries were perfectly crisp and delicious. I was pleasantly surprised, I was honestly expecting soggy cold fries. I think we finally found our new go-to deli spot! Very excited to have found them. read more

Gateway bagels has become my go-to place for the hungry man sandwich. For those who don't know what it is, it's pretty much every option for a breakfast sandwich all in one: Eggs, Bacon, Sausage, etc. Considering the size of the sand which and that it comes with coffee the price is pretty reasonable. They also have breakfast specials for those who are commuters! Would recommend Gateway for anyone looking to grab a quick bite for breakfast. read more

The best bagels and muffins I have ever had. The other bagel shops are good, but Gateway Bagels is a cut above the rest. An added perk is they deliver anywhere in the continental United States. Thank you, Joann and staff. Stop by this shop. You won't be disappointed. The atmosphere is very quaint and homey. This store is absolutely wonderful, but they need to expand, and reach a wider clientele. They are located in Wantagh, New York. Maybe they should open 2 more stores, how about 1 in Central Manhattan, and one in Eastern Long Island. read more

Employees are nice but the food is short of a few ingredients! Breakfast Booster Wrap and I asked for Turkey... still looking for the Egg Whites and Turkey...!) read more

We've been going to gateway since it opened. We order egg sandwiches frequently. 14 dollars for two sandwiches with bacon, unfortunately the bacon now is literally 2 pieces. We're switching to Becks that gives you your moneys worth. read more

Some of the best bagels I've had! Great staff & they've always got enough variety I can find what I want

First time customer ordering via seamless. A great experience. First, they followed my order and instructions of options I wanted on bagels & how I wanted my coffee perfectly. Second, the bagels are really great, a nice fluff on the inside with a great outside. Third, they delivered to Massapequa park, which I was super happy about and thankful for. A really enjoyable meal and I will definitely be returning! read more

ordered a toasted sesame bagel with lox & cream cheese...$10.35 the bagel was barely toasted; there was two thinly sliced pieces of lox and a blob of cream cheese. while I don't expect there to be a pound of lox on my sandwich, I did want more than two thinly sliced pieces that I could practically see thru. I was expecting the sandwich to be pricy, but I want to get what I ordered. I was craving this sandwich and this was a total disappointment. I won't be going back there for this sandwich for sure read more

I work in the area, so i stop by fairly frequently. I dont understand the reviews. I love this place, bagels are best around, homemade cream cheeses and salads, I love it . Try it, you wont be disappointed. read more

The bagels are always fresh and have great taste. Just be aware that if you do not pay cash they charge you a credit card surcharge fee.

Done. After a few questionable issues with the food, I had stopped going to Gateway. This morning, running late for work, I stopped in to get a buttered bagel. What could go wrong with a simple buttered bagel? Well, there was paper baked into my bagel. I'll end like I started. Done. read more

Very good deli close to the Wantagh train station. I stopped there a few times for morning bagels - they are tasty. I usually get the everything flat bagel with veggie cream cheese and it is good. This time we got a bagel and the "Long Island panini. The panini was huge and tasty - the bread well toasted, full of roast beef with fresh veggies. We devoured our lunch. It can sometimes take a while to get the food which is not good if you are catching the train but it's definitely a good place for breakfast/ read more

I love coming here to get their bagels and sandwiches. Their bagels are hand roll which tastes so much better. The staffs are wonderful. I would definitely come back. read more

Came 10 min after they opened and ordered and was rang up immediately, upon paying was told it's gonna be a little bit bc the grill isn't hot yet, something I would have like to know before paying. When asked for the coffee I was told it takes 30 min for machines to start up.. left without the coffee bc I have to get to work.. maybe if u open at 6 u should come in a little earlier to prepare for 6 or not charge for things that u have no intention of giving your customers read more

Ordered from here through Uber eats one morning for breakfast because they have gluten free bagels. My Mom is gluten intolerant and gets very sick if she eats gluten, especially from a bagel. She was so excited! I ordered her egg salad on a sandwich and checked off bagel. In the special instructions I wrote gluten free bagel. We were aware that gluten free was more money and were surprised we didn't hear from the restaurant for the extra payment. The food came with no note. After eating a quarter of her bagel my Mom said she didn't think it was gluten free. I called the restaurant and spoke to the owner. She confirmed that we had ordered the sandwich wrong, since there is an option to get just a gluten free bagel but not with egg salad and we had written gluten free bagel in the special instructions so they put her egg salad on a plain regular bagel. No call from the restaurant and no note explaining that the bagel was not gluten free. When asked why she didn't call us to get the extra $2 for a gluten free bagel her response was it was so busy. She did not care that this was a food allergy situation and she had put my mothers health and life at risk! She just did not care whatsoever! Do not eat here if you have food allergies! You will be taking your life in your hands! read more

The food always comes out quick, fresh, and correct. The staff is incredibly friendly and kind. I honestly prefer this place over town bagel or any other local bagel place. Their bagels are hand rolled in the back and they taste perfect fluffy and soft. Everything is priced very fairly. I can tell that they really care about this business. I would highly HIGHLY recommend checking this little place out. read more

Great local deli. Been here 3 times so far for sandwiches and wraps and wasn't disappointed. I recommend this deli.

Delicious, fresh, big fluffy bagels that have some crisp on the outside! Definitely my new go-to bagel store. They're also a deli so you can order breakfast specials and lunch specials. The only thing is I wish they put just a littttttle more cream cheese on my bagel. I hope this place does well and stays in business because I finally found a place that makes bagels just the way I love them! Hopefully more people find out about it, the way I discovered it was being at the bar next door one night and noticed it. A smart business move would be to do weekend late-night bagels and give the other place in town some competition! They would do so well being right next to the bar, and I'm sure that would get more people to notice it and draw in more customers! 10/10 would recommend these bagels!! read more

I got the buffalo chicken panini, not good. What a sloppy mess. The hot sauce was dripping out all over the place. The cheese was melted all over the wrapper and now in the sandwich. The panini was not even toasted or pressed which tells me the thing was microwaved. This gives the chicken a rubbery texture. Very little taste. This was not a $9 sandwich it was something my kids could have made for me in my kitchen. If your going to have a storefront business then make professional grade products. I would pay more for something good. read more

Gateway is my go-to bagel spot. They're always consistent, and super fresh. Definitely my favorite!

Very expensive very they nail u for everything the $6.99 hero is $11 if I want anything on it everything is a add on . The place was dead on Sunday morning now I know why just to expensive for fair food ... read more

Ordered food for $12 and when I asked for hot water, the lady charged me a dollar saying she pays $1 for the cup. It's not about the money, it's the fact that she can just fool people. Just say it $1 for hot water. She didn't pay $1 for a cup. When I asked she stared yelling and said she is paying electricity and labor. Go to Starbucks, go to Dunkin' Donuts, don't they run business? They give you a cup of water for free. I guess they are not running business. Remb it's not about dollar, it's just how they treat customers. I read other reviews to they are not great. read more

Absolutely done ordering from Gateway. Today my boyfriend went to get us breakfast. He ordered 2 egg white wraps with bacon, cheese, and spinach. He was charged almost $15 for too wraps. That is outrageous. To make matters worse he gets home with the food and both wraps are missing the cheese! They charged us for cheese but forgot to put it on both wraps, really?! Also this isn't the first time the have forgotten the cheese on our wraps. Will not be coming back. read more

I love this bagel store! The girls are so nice! Great food too! Never a long wait either.

A family run small business, this is easily the cleanest deli I've ever been to. I have been going here for several months now. The owner is really nice and service consistently good. The bagels are delicious, coffee fresh, and they have really good muffins. My kids actually ask to go here because they absolutely love the sausage egg and cheese. read more

one of the best breakfast spots on long island. perfect amount of cheese and those bagels are great.

Bad customer service they gave me black ice coffee that I cant even drink, coffee that's going to the toilet cause its going to be bitter.

First timer here today. The place was very clean and the staff was super friendly. The food was good as well. I have a gluten sensitivity so I ordered a GF bagel with lox cream cheese and my friend got a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. My only complaint is that the GF are very small and are $3.00 each (plus what you pay to get on the bagel). My total for both things came out to almost $11.00 it's really rare that delis serve GF bagels, so it was a refreshing nostalgic change to have a bagel on a Saturday morning from a deli. Like I said, the food was good but I don't see myself coming here frequently for a small $5 bagel when I can go to stop & shop and spend that same amount for a pack of 4 GF bagels. This place is conveniently right down the road from my house, so if they changed the pricing I'd be a more frequent customer read more
