It's a deli that has become extremely popular due to social media sharing…read more It is clean, there is plenty of space to sit and they have an immense number of specialty sandwiches that are posted on boards all around the counter. They serve hot food as well as standard sandwiches and they stuff the sandwiches quite a bit, almost too much. The service at the counter is always friendly when they take my order. The issue is, they are extremely overpriced. A bologna sandwich on a simple roll and a seltzer should not be approximately $20. The chicken cutlets are microwaved when they are ordered and they just aren't good and they are very pricy. Also, they don't sell drinks in cans, which would be a bit cheaper because a bottle of soda for $4 is just not fair. If you want a standard deli sandwich, at a reasonable price, I'd try a different deli in the area.

Pastrami Sandwich- I had to have one. I decided to try this…read moredeli that nearby & new for me. I ordered hot pastrami on rye. It was expensive, but it was just what I was looking for..I had even considered going to Manhattan, but this was perfect. A few weeks later. I felt like a lunch sandwich again and decided to try Se-port Deli as a comparison. The result: two shocks: Se-Port was cheaper, much cheaper 13$ vs. 20$, but also smaller and not as tasty. So check out Pumpernickels Deli. Service/Ambiance - not a factor.

There's a well known deli very close to my home, guess what? I like Pumpernickels deli better. Why? It's a few things, most importantly getting greeted when I walk in. Inside is nothing fancy, to the left is the counter and to the right is the coffee station. And they make an INCREDIBLE B.E.C. With SPK! The eggs are always cooked perfectly, nice bacon ratio and I like the coffee! That's a 5 star spot in my book. I just wanted to write a review and tell everyone about this nice neighborhood deli that's very close to Nichols rd. Nice peeps making a good breakfast.

I am gluten free and I get gluten free pancakes, which have never caused a reaction in a year of eating here. Their died and hot lattes are so good, and the flavor selection is colossal.

I love to spend all my money eating out here. This is an establishment well done.

Well, they still have a large following. Quite busy. The service is cheerful and quick. However, the corn beef hash was not as tasty as I recall from prior visits. The recipe use to have home fried potatoes or a red potato now it has the stringy hash brown which changed the texture and taste. We were truly disappointed. Sometimes, it's just not worth it to change a recipe if it's not better than the original. I think we will come again and maybe try something else. Today we left not as happy with our choice from the menu.

I went in expecting a five star experience. My friend and I had brunch here previously and it was…read morefantastic. So ... we were on the waiting list for Schnitzels at 5 pm on a Sunday. They don't take reservations. After about 10 minutes my friend and I plus 3 teens (my kids and a friend) were starving and Schnitzels was loud and crowded. We headed a few doors down to Sweet Mama's. Seated immediately. My friend and I shared the steak with penne dinner special and a Cobb salad with grilled chicken. My daughter ordered penne with butter off the kids menu. My son got a turkey burger and his friend got a grilled chicken sandwich on a hero instead of a wrap. Now the good -- portions were huge! My son could barely fit his burger in his mouth and it also had a half avocado on it. They didn't skimp. Steak with penne was delicious and so was the Cobb salad. We all shared off each other's plates because everything looked so amazing. Now the bad. My daughter's pasta was elbows, not penne as indicated on the menu. Not a catastrophe but she was looking forward to penne. Then - my son's friend put some ketchup on his plate for his fries. It was ,.. not red but brown. The bottle had an 8/25 expiration. We are in April 2026. We told the server and she said it's because it's the "simply ketchup" with no artificial dyes. She offered him ketchup packets "with fake dyes" but by that point he lost his appetite for fries. We grabbed ketchup from another table, same brand, Heinz Simply. You can see the difference in color. We showed the server and she acted annoyed. I told her we didn't want anyone getting sick on that ketchup and pointed out the expiration date. She rolled her eyes and said "oh I'll just throw it away." She kind of had an attitude and didn't even apologize. So that's why 4 stars. We'd go back but request not to have that server. The food is fantastic but watch your ketchup! If someone put it on a burger it would have been ruined.

We also noticed people waiting for to-go orders for over half an hour for simple orders. I wish I could give this place a better review because the menu items are wonderful and the ambiance is chill. But the staff need proper training. They need to pay attention and really take care with their customers. I don't believe "the customer is always right," but take more care with your customers.

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!
