Not sure where they source their lox, but they are proper, briny lox - not smoked. I'm old school and order mine with cream cheese, capers, and onions. read more

The food is always excellent, but I'm disappointed with the service. I always ask for hot sauce on my breakfast sandwiches and maybe get it 50% of the time. Today I went in to get two sausage egg and cheeses with a hashbrown and hot sauce, and instead received a bacon egg and cheese and an egg and hash brown sandwich. Are the chefs just picking and choosing what gets to go in my sandwich?! Very annoyed. Wouldn't write a review if this did not happen so consistently (not the first time they've given me a completely wrong sandwich either). read more

Delicious bagels pretty close to the ferry drop-off. Not a bad choice to grab some bagels before heading to the beach! I would go back

Bagels were good. Nice to pick up from right by the ferry stop. I recommend the plain cream cheese bagel!

Such a gem. Rockaway bagels have the nicest staff, who are so welcoming. I've been there a few times and each time it was a good experience. I'm a particular person when it comes to my sandwich, so i do ask for a lot sometimes and they always accommodate me. The bagels are big and soft with a good taste. I normally asked for mine scooped because it is alot of dough. I like to get a BLT with crispy bacon and it never fails. They have so many options to choose from when it comes to bagel types, sandwiches and meal options. The store is walk-in only with no seating options. Its clean and spacious enough to hold a lot of people. read more

My husband is a cop and his station is near this place. I wanted a multigrain bagel they didn't have any so he got me raisin cinnamon with walnut cream cheese. They burnt my bagel badly and it's just bitter tasting. Also why was the walnut cream cheese brown? Anyways a bad start to my morning. read more

Delicious bagels and great staff! They know you personally if you go in and get the same thing every time, including your coffee order. Very amazing people that work here and there and bagels are delicious !Which is why I drive past two bagel places come to this one! Never get an order wrong!!! Thanks! read more

If you want bagels to prepare at home this is a great place and an important small business in the community. Bagels are always fresh and have a great taste. The service is efficient and moves as it gets crowded in the small space. I didn't give them five stars for two reasons; one is the lack of variety. They don't have flat bagels most of the time and if they do there are hardly two kinds, brown bagel varieties are almost nonexistent, and that's unfortunate. Second, when I have had my bagels prepared by then I have been disappointed by the skimping on everything and when I ask for a toasted bagel I want a toasted and not a warmed bagel. This has happened to me enough times where I no longer order prepared food I just get the bagels. read more

The bagels here are YUGGGEEE! But! They also have smaller bagels, for those who want to mind their portion control. They also have all the usual deli stuffs like bialys, rolls etc and hot and iced coffees. They also have sandwiches and salads. I was just here for breakfast, so I cannot attest. Note that they don't accept AmEx, which isn't a criticism, just an FYI. read more

My Saturday go-to each week. Fresh bagels, friendly staff, super organized with taking orders and always delicious food!

This is the best bagel shop in Rockaway. A must visit place. If you like freshly baked bagel with an assortment of cream cheese this is the place to visit. Also, I was in the mood for a bodega style sandwich and I order one here which reminded me of the bodega one...delish. I go there one every other week read more

Really enjoyed everything bagel toasted with tuna and toasted cinnamon raisin with peanut butter and jelly read more

This used to be a great place. Not sure if they changed management the service is now terrible. I placed an order on the phone went to pick up waiting an additional 5 minutes. Pretty sure they did not even start my order. Someone that walked in after me and placed an order on the store had his order before me. When I asked the "manager" what was going on? He instantly gave me an attitude about my order which was just scrambled eggs and bacon on a bagel, considering this is a bagel shop one of the most popular things on the menu. At this point I told him I didn't want the order, and he yelled something at me as I left. Will not be going back what a shame!! We supported this place for years! read more

Amazing bagels and great service! They're my favorite bagel place is Rockaway for sure

Hands down best bagel I've ever had. I live in nyc my whole life. I have lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and tried there bagels. Cant even compare to these bagels. So doughy and perfectly made. 10/10 recommend read more

I walked in no one greeted me just stares, I didn't feel welcomed. I placed my order which was very small (literally a breakfast sandwich and an order of French toast) roughly 10 people or so walked in placed their order and walked out before me. I don't normally play the race card but dammit that's how I felt. It was my first and only visit. read more

Rockaway Bagels you are absolutely terrific, I had an incredible experience here today. The ambiance is awesome. Each and every single thing that we have ordered was incredibly fresh and delicious. The crew is very helpful. I really valued that. Will definitely come again! read more

Love this bagel shop. Quite a busy little spot for good reason. They have quality food for average prices, and the crew that works here are top of their game. My choice of menu here is typically the same getting either a BLT on a roll or Bacon Egg and Cheese on everything bagel, and a quality cup of coffee. Never dissapointed! read more

Good place but watch the guy who man's the register. Tried to be slick and short me big time with my change because it was busy. Cold busted him. Make sure you know exactly what everything costs and count your change!!!!! read more

Food is okay but this place tries to pull a fast one on customers. There is a up charge for a hero $1.25 which is fine. The next day they were out of hero's and explained to me the price is the same on a roll. read more

I used to be a hardcore Boardwalk Bagels fan about 10 years ago. But this place has by FAR the best bagels on the peninsula. I'm talking real deal, NYC bagels. Crispy on the outside, soft and scrumptious on the inside. Just as good as some of the "best" bagel shops in Manhattan. If only they delivered... a man can dream... read more

I have been going to Rockaway Bagels nearly every day since I first saw it. A Very Long Time Ago! In the 80's, I think. And, I have SEEN the fresh made Bagels! And, have had them still warm! read more

I love this place!!!! The bagels are ALWAYS fresh and the service is also great!!! I'm sad every time I'm done eating my bagel because I wish it was more. Bagels are my life!!!! read more

My friend has been getting me bacon, egg and cheese on a whole wheat everything bagel and omg it's so good. I've tried other places and nothing compares. I've also enjoyed their French toast. My daughter is very picky but loves their food. Oh and yes I will come from Valley Stream for my breakfast when I can. read more

Simply delicious! I love this spot. The bagels are fresh and tasty and they have a large variety as well. The hot sandwiches and breakfasts are good too. They have parking in the back which is great since parking could be tough around here. Also, they keep the place clean which is a huge plus! read more

I love bagels! And if you want a good bagel and fast service go here. We have lots of bagel cafés on the peninsula but this one is the most organized store in taking your orders and getting you out fast. We are always in and out in less than 6 minutes where the other two bagel spots I reviewed on the peninsula will have you waiting 20 minutes for a bagel with butter not toasted smh. There bagels are very tasty and the people who work there are friendly. We love this place!!! read more

I love this place, and miss this place- I used to eat here almost every morning on my way to work. They have a point system and the points are REALLY worth collecting! They add up quickly! Bagels are fresh and tasty! Creme cheeses of all types but the walnut is the best! read more

Literally right next door to my office, these guys have always come through for us. Sandwiches and salads, for those days when we forget to pack lunch. And it's where our patients and doctors buy our entire staff a bagel breakfast for a treat some mornings. Really can't complain~ read more

The Good The place is alway empty in the morning no waiting . The Bad The bagels look good but have no taste and if you get cream cheese or eggs it doesn't help.The cream cheese has no taste and the eggs taste like rubber when you order them on a bagel . The Ugly The price is a total rip off for the product they offer .Staff is way to friendly never a good sign before you are screwed .. read more

Pretty good bagel shop. Not comparable to the one in park slope I loved so much. But not bad. This place is deff cleaner! And everything is nicely displayed as well- the guys making the food are super nice and friendly! You don't get many mess ups on your orders. The cashier lady could be a little nicer- but it's ok. The food is good. They have good flag bagels which I love. Some assorted infused cream cheeses so that's also good::). My turkey, egg and cheese flat bagel was very good:). read more

Rockaway Beach Rob The best bagels in rockaway period. The problem is the people making my order. 50-60% of the time my order is wrong. I know i should check my order before i leave the establishment. Sometimes its super busy and i do not, ( My fault) Call me crazy but if i pay for something i expect it to be correct. When i go and complain to the cashier she says people make mistakes we are not machines.I understand that but come on over half the time my order is not complete. Thank you. read more

In New York, bagel stores are pretty common. However, none are like this one. The bagels are always fresh and huge. Moreover, there is a variety of bagels to choose from whether mini or flat to whole wheat. The iced coffee is great and the staff are always sweet and attentive. Definitely worth checking out! read more

I love their chewy delicious whole wheat bagels and the whole wheat everything bagel is to die for. I'll keep coming back.

I've worked in a bakery for over 5 years and managed one for a while. In my quality standards, this shop is okay. I cant say it was THE BEST. It was my first time eating a bagel sandwich (Im on holiday from Oz), still I wasn't extremely impressed. Yes, it was delicious, I highly recommend this shop. Value for money, we couldn't even finish the other half. Maybe it would taste immaculately delicious hot out of the oven? Staff were very friendly too. Go for it, they're good at what they do. read more

Awesome Bagels, Awesome Service, Always Clean This store should be shown by the Department of Health so people can see what a store should look like read more

I've been eating at this bagel shop since I was about 5 yrs old back in 94. My mom used to work at Island Pediatrics a couple doors down and I can remember going there whenever I had to go to work with her. Here I am at 28 yrs old and I still love this shop as much as I did then. Best bagels in all 5 boroughs. read more
