Breakfast is served! If you haven't tried your bacon, egg, and cheese on sourdough yet, this is your sign. I followed it up with the mandatory caffeine fix, of course. The service was definitely good; as I walked in, I was greeted, and three ladies and one gentleman all asked if I was being helped while I waited for my sandwich. The shop was clean and there was no loud music. This was a great stop after my puppy's vet checkup since it's only a minute away! El desayuno está servido! Si aún no has probado tu sándwich de tocino, huevo y queso en pan de masa madre (sourdough), esta es la señal que esperabas. Seguido, por supuesto, por la dosis obligatoria de cafeína. El servicio fue definitivamente bueno; en cuanto entré me saludaron, y tres damas y un caballero me preguntaron si ya me estaban atendiendo mientras esperaba mi sándwich. El local estaba limpio y no tenían la música fuerte. Fue una excelente parada después de la cita del veterinario de mi perrito, ya que está a solo un minuto de distancia. read more

Sometimes I miss Long Island. You can throw a stone and find really good food -and that's exactly what happened this week. I was in the area for a meeting and pulled over for a quick bite. The menu at Let there be bagels is HUGE. I was temporarily overwhelmed and then spotted the chopped salad. I'm trying to make better decisions during work travel, so I filled out the form, chose a bunch of healthy morsels and waited a bit for my salad to be thoroughly chopped. This was a REAL chopped salad...and there was so much left over that I had the rest for dinner when I arrived home the next evening. My colleague scarfed down his bagel and he really liked it. The staff was lovely and they had a steady stream of regulars in and out. There's a small seating area in the center if you're not planning on taking your foodstuffs with you. I'd definitely visit when I'm in the area again. read more

The employees here are nasty and rude and everything is way overpriced. Can't believe this place is still in business with the way they treat customers. read more

Let's start by saying, if you could leave less than one star, I certainly would. It happens to be a nice store, but don't let them fool you.They rob you I paid almost twenty four dollars for a turkey wrap and a muffin, and looking at other people's reviews, everybody feels the same way ... Please go somewhere else because you'll be very disappointed.After you pay read more

I'm sure it's going to be hard to imagine that what I tell you is true; but I assure you I wouldn't bother wasting my time doing this review if it wasn't. Sunday morning, one other customer in the store. I saw as many of seven different people working. But not one person could help me for about 12 minutes. Eventually, I should've known that I asked for a simple bagel with lock spread. It took about 10 minutes for this enormous task of preparing such an item. Probably another seven minutes because the person did not know any of the prices since I had actually wanted juice as well and a plain bagel with nothing on it. Finally got home, opened the wrapping only to find she had given me a bagel with scallion cream cheese instead of lox bread. I know, I shouldn't complain while there are starving people and war ton places in this world. But give me a break 14 bucks and this seems to happen oftenin a place like this. read more

The bagels were fine/good. I had two bagels while I was in PW, an egg with cream cheese and a rainbow (basically plain with colors) with lox spread. They also have so many baked goods: cookies, cupcakes, tarts, danish, ruggalah, "hamentach," muffins, etc. The blueberry muffin was pretty good. Every bagel place in Long Island seems to bake their own black and white cookies, and LTBB was no different. It was the right size (big, not huge), frosted on the correct side, the right amount of cake on the bottom and both frostings tasted good. The only negative is that both frostings were very super stiff, which implied that the B&W was a day or two old. There are places to sit and eat inside too. read more

The service was excellent this go around. I ordered the uncle Vinny sandwich which is in the picture on an everything bagel. It's a big ass sandwich, I was only able to eat half and saved the other half. If you want this on a roll it's a dollar more, fyi. The sandwiches is a bit pricey. Overall, I came close to closing time and the place was clean and smelled like some good food. read more

Told the counter person that their roast beef chunks are covered in mold.

I used to frequent this place often. While they were never the cheapest option, the quality was generally good, and their sandwiches were always on point. However, over time I noticed a steady decline in the food and service, which led me to stop coming altogether. After almost a year I decided to give them another try. Unfortunately, I regret to report that this will be my last visit. I was shocked to be served an overpriced, stale, rock-hard bagel with dry old old-tasting roast beef, all for the ridiculous price of $15. If that wasn't bad enough their lox with cream cheese on a bagel now costs a staggering $17.99 before tax. Keep in mind their website still states they are $13.99 so I got bait and switched: http://www.ltbagels.com/menu/ That is not just expensive, its highway robbery. What is this the four seasons? What truly disgusted me though were the unsanitary conditions. The bagels had flies hovering over them, and I can't believe I still went ahead and ordered. The place has gone downhill to the point where it's simply unacceptable. If you're craving a decent sandwich, do yourself a favor and head across the st to Hink's, where the prices are still fair and they won't overcharge you for subparfood. read more

This place just plain sucks, from the service, to the taste of their bagels, to their prices, they just are not as good as other options in town. Shame, because they used to be good, but the fact that it was empty on a normally busy weekday morning speaks volumes. Hoping they up their game and change their attitude soon. read more

Pretty standard LI/NYC bagel shop. LOTS of bagel options including flats/flagels, whole wheat bagels and minis! Tons of salads and pre-made options as well. Staff is relatively friendly but they are also fielding a million orders all at the same time. It's chaotic but they always get our order right! Definitely worth checking out! read more

RJ last brought me here in 2016 and we were glad to see its still fantastic. If you are bagel lovers like us, this is bagel heaven for sure. I have to let RJ order for me because I would get one of everything. We ordered bacon, egg, and cheese on sesame and salt bagels, and got 2 dozen bagels to go. The sesame ended up being the best for freezing, salt bagels don't freeze well. We also got a few egg, plain, and cinnamon raisin. I would relocate to NY to be near these bagels. read more

Dropped off the kids at school then I was craving a delicious bagel and what's better then a bagel shop for a bagel ? Nothing! Came here to have breakfast with my wife and we enjoyed a blueberry bagel and mini plain bagel with coffees. Very fresh and amazing selection of so many options of food, snacks and beverages. So many you'll definitely find something you'd like to eat here. The bakery section is a wow factor but since I'm on a little diet I didn't do it but if you're not watching what you're eating definitely go crazy. Highly recommend for people to enjoy breakfast and even lunch here. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. Nasty customer service and overpriced. Waited 10 minutes with about 6 employees working. 3 people ahead of me who already got their order taken were just waiting and there was no clear place to wait. We finally get our order taken and ordered two bagels with cream cheese and it took 20 minutes. The lady helping me at the front was so rude and couldn't care less about helping. She had the nastiest attitude. Our bagels were also hard and not fresh at all. I can't believe how overpriced this place is either. There are much better bagel establishments to go to. read more

The finest sausage egg and cheese in all the land consistently. Great Bagels. Love the scallion cream cheese.

This place sucks. Overpriced to the max and you don't even get fresh food. Scam. Won't be going back

What a huge disappointment for a catering order. First of all the muffins are stale. Did you give us yesterdays left over old muffins? Second we were terribly overcharged. For a dozen bagels, 6 muffins, 2 x cream cheese, butter, lox, orange juice and a box of coffee guess what they wanted? Almost $300! I just fed a dozen people at lunch with Italian food for less money. Shame on you, your new name should be Let the Community Beware read more

Can't believe this place RIPPED ME OFF for a: bacon egg & cheese on a roll. They charged $7.39 for it, and it doesn't even come with coffee or anything else ! In MANHATTAN, the most I've ever paid for a bacon egg & cheese on a roll is $4.75. This is absurd. Who in their right mind charges this much. Good to know that I'll never be coming back here and will spread the word 'round town. This is beyond RIDICULOUS !! read more

I follow a page on Instagram called @LIeats ( Long Island eats ) and a few days ago they posted a pic of what they call the " Wake N' Bacon "- Now I'm not sure if this is the official name for the sandwich or not but I ended up having to show the lady that took my order a picture of what I saw on Instagram. Bacon, Egg, Cheese and Avocado on a toasted Everything bagel...MY GOD. IM WRITING THIS IN CAPS BECAUSE HOLY MOTHER OF GOD IT WAS SO DELICIOUS AND SO FRESH. Bit of a wait but it was beyond worth it. I'd wait an hour if need be. Very rare is it that you see something so delicious looking on tv or in a picture and you actually receive that when you get it. LET ME JUST SAY....It looked delicious in the picture...in real life...IT WAS DIVINE. Divine. The bagels are so fresh, I was a Bagel Boss fan but they have horrible service and the locations are all going down. This place is so good. We drove all the way to Port Washington for this place. Not that it's a hike but it's a cute drive lol. I'll upload the pic on Instagram that made me want to try it, and also the pic of what I got. Also the person I was with ordered a Flat Toasted sesame bagel with Veggie cream cheese and said it was the best he's had, period. If your a bagel person.....BEST PLACE ON LONG ISLAND HANDS DOWN. read more

After being a loyal customer for 20+ years, I will never be returning. I walked into the entirely empty bagel store and waited 4 minutes before even being spoken to by an employee, who was rude once she finally decided to take my order. They were out of the type of bagel I wanted, so I just ordered egg bagels. I waited until I got home to check the bag of bagels and that was a big mistake. All three bagels were rock hard and burnt (and I'm assuming also stale). They were completely inedible. I drove back to the store and went in and showed the same employee how the bagels she gave me were rock hard and burnt. I said since they were inedible I just wanted my money back. She didn't even utter a word to me. She just sighed and handed me my money back. I also found gross hard black things in the tuna salad. I don't know what they could even be; I just hope they weren't bugs! There are so many better bagel stores and delis in the area. I don't know how this place is still in business. Avoid at all costs! read more

This is by far the worst bagel and black and white cookie I have had on Long Island. I was really disappointed when the went here because it had a lot of hype and let me down hard. The bagel was hard and not soft on the inside and was very small for the price. In addition the black and white cookie and bagel both lacked flavor. On top of the bad food the person who helped was the worst. I told her all at once what I wanted and repeated myself but she forgot which bagel I asked for, then forgot if I wanted cream cheese or butter, then forgot I wanted a cookie, then forgot I wanted coffee. Maybe she was having a bad day or was really forgetful but overall this bagel place was a bad experience and I would suggest people to go elsewhere. Also the setup of this bagel place from ordering to receiving the food is very unorganized poor design you'll see if you ever go here. read more

I just spent 35 min if my life that I'll never get back waiting for 3 toasted bagel egg sandwiches. I was the only customer at 6:30am this Sunday morning. A line quickky formed behind me with many people getting impatient and leaving. I felt bad for a guy who waited 20 for a cup of coffee. This place used to be a good place but it appears to be under new management. There used to be many friendly workers behind the counter but now there is only a not so friendly guy w/ zero patience and a handful if workers who seem to hide in the back. There are plenty of other bagel places that are much better but they"re not in Port Washington. This will be my last time visiting this once fine establishment. read more

Bagel-wise, they're fine. Fresh enough bagels that do the trick and satisfy your breakfast cravings. Service is friendly but I do think a bit hectic most of the time. I usually order ahead on text for quick pick up and half the time, no one acknowledges you, or it still takes a while. So.. just a bit confusing of a system and you have customers trying to move out of the way if they ordered, then screaming on top of each other,... And I don't know if I've been out of the BEC game for so long but is it really almost $10 or so? What happened to $3.75 before school? read more

The food is ok. Bagels are fine. My problem is the rudeness of the people that work there. They make a mistake and blame the customer, specifically the Asian woman. Instead of apologizing for not seeing the items I put on the counter, she RUDELY said but you didn't tell me. What? Are you blind? Who did she think it belonged to? I'll never go back to be treated that way. read more

So moving to Port Washington we aren't really familiar with good coffee and bagel shops, we decided to order from Let there be bagels . What a mistake . Clearly they don't read directions when you place an order . We ordered bagels with butter , toasted and they sent us cold bagels with thick layers of butter and then we asked for coffee with milk on the side . They didn't send the milk . We are in the middle of moving and unpacking we don't have any thing here , obviously if I'm asking for a bagel toasted and milk on the side I don't have milk or a toaster available at the moment .. the worse part is when I called to express how they didn't follow our order the lady on the phone goes " ok so what do you want me to do for you" .. all I said was read directions it's not hard !! I would never order from them again . We were extremely disappointed and aggravated with this whole order . read more

My boss got one of the bags of trail mix that seem to be packed in store- IT WAS FULL OF MAGGOTS!!! When we called to let the management know, they were totally rude and seemed to not even care. Never once apologized or asked if he was OK (after eating from the bag) or had any concern at all. After seeing multiple other reviews on here about a fly infestation I can understand why. Who knows how long that bag had to have been sitting out to have 100 maggots in it read more

Overpriced, underwhelming, long wait, and illegal practices. I've stopped by this store on a few occasions when passing by, and after my most recent visit today, I will not be returning. First and foremost, this store deceitfully adds a transaction fee to credit card charges - without warning - simply by handing you a receipt with a higher price than what was originally rung up at the register. In addition, the bagel selection is slim, overpriced, and not nearly as good as other Long Island/New York bagels. Seeing bugs in the bakery case was not an appetizing sight either. read more

Went for bagels, been a while that I ordered from there. Used to be great until I saw a bunch of flies on the bagels. I was going to order but that was a big let down. Don't think I'm going back there any time soon. Also, I was not acknowledged until I turned around and was leaving. Was a good go to, but they need to control the fly infestation. read more

Although their bagels are super and their staff is great, while I was waiting in line for my bagel to be made that I saw muffins in the display case so I decided to take a look and as I got closer I happened to noticed there were fruit flies, and not only that but they were inside the display case and on the muffins as well. I thought that was revolting to see. God only knows if they're also on the bagels as well as in the deli display as well. At first, I was going to tell them not to make my bagel but I had already seen it being made, but I can assure you that is the last time I am going there. I know that there is another bagel place nearby called Boychicks Bagels, hopefully, they don't have flies. read more

I used to come here more often when hubby operated his business from Port Washington before. I've tried their bagels and lox and a few types of cream from this place and I liked it. Recently I came in for a small bite/snack due to my hunger that I couldn't wait another hour to have lunch. I picked up a nice grilled chicken salad. The dressing is definitely worth it but I put very little dressing. Fresh salad and dress chicken, then I'm good to go. read more
