I was in Glen Cove last Sunday looking for a deli to cook up some eggs and ham or bacon so I…read morestopped in Daily Bagels Plus (despite the "For Rent" sign prominently displayed on the front window). When I entered the store I saw what seemed to be a "mature" husband and wife team behind the counter. (Probably the same couple that Franco C referred to in his "First to Review" dated 5/18/09 as "the nice elderly couple that apparently own the place." That's over 10 years ago!) There was not a customer in sight and less than 20 bagels in a small glass display case at the counter. I doubt they're "baked on premises" and echo Franco C review comment, "find it hard to believe that any bagel has been baked there in a long, long time." I saw a grill and a large carton of eggs next to it so I decided to take a chance and ordered 2 eggs over easy with bacon on a plate. The woman said $4 and I agreed. When I started to take my money out of my wallet the man said either $4 or $6! I honestly don't remember, but the point is that it was higher than what the woman just told me and we agreed to! She hadn't started to cook the eggs yet so I told them both "forget it" and I walked out. Look ... I understand that English isn't their native language, but I expect to be able to communicate with store owners and their help at some basic level. As a consumer we have alternatives!

After seeing the dearth of bagels, I went with plan B - eggs/sausage/roll. The nice elderly couple that apparently own the place were sweet all - but the sausage were sausage links were sliced down the middle and laid on the sandwich longways - not quite what I had in mind. Looking around I see they have a few items of this and that for sale - I'm guessing that is the "plus" portion of the name... Eh - I think I'll just hit McDonald's next time. Street parking.

I ordered the Coast to Coast, which was delicious with a generous serving of roast beef and perfect ratio of meat to cole slaw and Russian dressing. While I will definitely visit again, I likely won't become a regular due to high prices. The Coast to Coast cost $15.99, climbing to $17.99 with tax and credit card fee. While the sandwich was delicious and of good size, I don't feel it was large enough to warrant this price (which other deli's can rightfully charge). A picture of the menu on Google from 5 years ago shows the same sandwich to be $7.99+tax. Expenses are increasing for everyone, but I feel the current price is no longer a good value for the money and I'll limit visits to special treats rather than a frequent occurrence.

On my most recent visit, I ordered a turkey bacon, egg, and cheddar cheese on an egg bagel with salt and pepper. The food was fresh, but it lacked seasoning I could barely taste the salt and pepper. I also ordered a cream cheese bagel, which was fresh as well, but nothing out of the ordinary. The location is convenient since it's in a strip mall with plenty of other businesses nearby, and breakfast is served all day, which is a plus. The atmosphere is what you'd expect from a typical neighborhood bagel shop or deli. My biggest complaint is the pricing. Paying around $10 for a bacon, egg, and cheese-style sandwich seems excessive. That said, I've been back more than once, so it clearly wasn't a dealbreaker. Overall, the food is fresh and decent, but the prices are hard to overlook.
