I'm a native NYCer, so I don't like these gigantic airy bagels that are all over Long Island. I'm used to Ess-A-Bagel, Zaro's at Grand Central Terminal, Bagel Nosh, Russ & Daughters, and many others. I went to Steve's bc I was dropping off a package at the store next door. Someone once told me the term "hot bagels" on a store meant they were "authentic" bagels. So when I saw Steve's, I was intrigued. I got six excellent bagels: two onion, two garlic, two egg-everything. They were not huge. They were normal size, perfectly baked and had plenty of seasoning on both sides but not too much. They were delicious. We liked them so much I sent my husband there on a Thursday a few weeks later and he came home with the same types of bagels. They were undercooked. They were overly large and they did not have much seasoning on them. Most of them had nothing on the bottom and a few barely had any seasoning on top. I understand that they use different bakers on different days, so whoever baked the bagels for Wednesday, April 8, 2026? He or she should get a raise and teach the others how to make bagels. The service was fine, btw. I wouldn't say "friendly," but it was attentive. read more

This place is really good. I ordered a sausage egg and cheese on an egg bagel. It was delicious and super cheesy and gooey. Bagel was fluffy and crunchy! I also got an apple turnover. Very tasty! The ambience is very homey and personal! Highly recommend it. read more

Been going here for years and Steve used to own it now a new owner. took it over. I went in on the day after New Year's bought some linzee tarts took him home, expecting to enjoy myself all the prices of gone up, so I don't mind paying money for a good food. Iwhen I got home and bit into one I .almost broke my tooth. I'll never be going back here again. This place is terrible. Do not go. read more

Best bagels in deer park. Since I moved to deer park, I've tried numerous places but Steve's has the best bagels. Dee park bagels has decent bagels as well in the shop right parking lot, I just hate they don't take orders over the phone. The staff at Steve's is always very welcoming and it's like a family there. Everyone is sweet and on top of there game for this busy establishment. Bagels are made fresh daily and always taste amazing. Good amount of cream cheese spreads and great selection of bagels and flagels. They also sell pastry and cakes here. Overall, best bagels shop in deer park that I encountered so far. Highly recommend for those good bagels. read more

These aren't the best bagels you'll ever eat, but they sure do hit the spot when you're craving a bagel. The bagels are fresh and they have a wide variety. They also make a pretty decent breakfast sandwich. While it can be crowded at times, I have never had an issue with the staff who have always been friendly and are helpful. They also have cookies, cakes, and pastries but I have not tried them yet. read more

I just went in to this bagel place and i would never go back. I was just charged 18 dollars for two bacon egg and cheeses. When the women told me how much it was i thought she made a mistake. They dont even charge you that in the city. Don't make the mistake of coming here. The food is just ok and would rather drive down the street to first class bagel. I always love to support small businesses but that is insane. 3 dollars to add bacon? Don't come here. I could of got 2 full heros At Salpinos. Horrible way to start my morning. read more

I went to Steve's to get scallion cream cheese and bagels, when I came home this was what the scallion cream cheese looked like, where are the scallions, why are they are so cheap with the scallions it's not caviar. Today I went to a competitor bagel store and ordered scallion cream cheese, look at the difference, we will not be going back to Steve's. read more

This is my go to bagel place for two reasons 5 mins from my house and the bagels are delicious! It can get pretty crowded in here but they move things along quickly. The bagels are great, bacon egg and cheese toasted roll fantastic and baked cinnamon rolls also delicious. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the cost of cream cheese on the side. It's about 5 dollars which is not worth it! Unfortunately I like to add my own cream cheese so I always buy it. I may have to stock up on Philadelphia Veggie cream cheese as it's cheaper and tastes just the same as Steve's veggie cream cheese. read more

The bagels are pretty good. If you're not a fan of well-done bagels then this place isn't for you. most of the time there burnt.

Friendly service, delicious bagels, tofu veggie cream cheese is amazing. My aunt has been getting bagels from here for decades and I love visiting and enjoying one whenever I'm back here. The best! read more

Just ordered from Steve's Bagels this morning and I couldn't wait to come onto Yelp to leave a review. I HIGHLY suggest you take your business elsewhere. Here is what I experienced this morning: I walked in around 11am and it was very crowded (roughly 15 people) with people waiting for their orders. I was able to place my simple order which consisted of a Egg sandwich and a BLT on a roll. When asked for a name for the order I said "Paul"..."Paul?" "Yes" -- she then writes "Pool" on my order ticket. Okay, sign #1. After 10 minutes my order was ready and I couldn't wait for the person to say my name incorrectly as "Pool". Once I got home, I opened my BLT and noticed that a piece of bacon was very fatty and under cooked. I then started to pull the fatty piece out from the sandwich when I noticed that nearly ALL the bacon was fatty and uncooked. This was possibly the worst excuse for bacon I have ever seen. I nearly pulled off all the bacon off my sandwich, which is the most expensive part. All I can say is the best part of Steve's is the girl that has been there for so long is very helpful, moved the crowd and was the only one interactive talking to customers. She ran shit! Other than that I would go a little further down DPA to a worthy bagel store. read more

Best breakfast sandwich I ever had and the staff were so funny & charming. New go to for breakfast.

Food poisoning: 2 hours after leaving with bagels and coffee+half and half I started projectile vomiting. Hadn't eaten anything else for 16 hours. I was the only person who got coffee so the cream was the culprit. Haven't been this sick in years. Smell the milks before adding to coffee read more

Great little bagel spot on Deep Park Ave. they also have cakes, coffee, sodas, cookies and they make fresh breakfast sandwiches. I usually only come here for bagels, but Cary R loves the bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. The bagels are excellent quality and is truly a NY bagel. Staff is friendly and they have ample staff to get you in and out quickly. It gets quite busy in the mornings. If you're around in the Dix Hills, Deer Park area, stop by got and try the bagel. read more

This place used to have the best chocolate chip cookies on the planet but they changed how they cook them. Theybused to be soft and the size of my kids face. Now they are hard as a rock and small. Also whatvbakery om the planetvsells another companies cookies. Now i like Tates, but why have a bakery just to sell others products. To be honest the staff is great but there are alot of better bagels in tbe area. I only came for those cookies. Now that theyvare gone so am I!!!!! read more

Awesome New York bagels. Great lox cream cheese. A good bagel you can eat plain and these definitely passed the test.

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE!!!!! I'd classify Steve's food to be decent at best. That's not why I'm here though. My order is incorrect 9/10 times I go there. Today I didn't feel like going back AGAIN so I called for a refund on the incorrect items. To which I was very rudely informed that if I "wanted my money back to come into the store and bring back all my food". The wait for food is RIDICULOUS, the front of the store is DIRTY and has been under construction for months. The staff makes it apparent they all HATE their jobs and HATE the customers who come in. I always have given them the benefit of the doubt but I'm disgusted by how they treat paying customers and will NEVER BE GOING BACK!!!! read more

I regret making the decision to come here. I normally go to Wally's down the road but I figured for a simple bagel and cream cheese, how hard could it be to mess it up. So I figured I would come here. The young woman behind the counter had a really bad attitude and was just not friendly at all. Now for the food, the bagels were very stale and gummy. The cream cheese was okay but immediately after i ate the bagel I felt sick. The coffee was also pretty gross too. This was the second time I came here within the past 4 years. First time, I didn't like the egg sandwich. And I figured enough time passed where I can just get a quick bagel. I was completely wrong. read more

Their croissant was good! However don't get a bagel with cream cheese. They slap on the thinnest layer of cream cheese, you don't get your money's worth. read more

I'm done giving this place another chance. Order is never correct. The staff is always scrambling. The people waiting are always complaining. Just a negative awful environment. One of the staff is disgusting, rude, angry. The salads look like they have been in their trays for a month. So sad. This used to be a decent place. Now it's an overpriced nightmare.... read more

Food is awesome and the staff is friendly and works fast. Although busy at times, I never waited longer than a few minutes. Highly recommended! read more

I watched the guy behind the counter handled the money, didn't bother to change his glove and grabbed my bagel. I asked him if he can change it, he gladly did but then my husband saw him pulled out another glove from his pocket. Wow! Depth of health should have been here. read more

I used to work here a few years ago. It was my first ever job and I worked for the majority of the summer, till school came back around. It's a hard ass job, especially when it is your first one. The line was out the door and you usually have two other people in the front, and one person in the back. It often felt overwhelming, but you got through it. There were definitely some health code violations in the back and the owner wasn't the best. I think with a better owner, the business could get better overall. However, let's be real guys, Steve's bagels isn't the best bagel on Long Island. I read a comment that stated such a thing and I was appalled. First Class Bagels on deer park ave is where it is at, no question about it. Plus, you will get better service, since Marissa (the mean looking one) doesn't work there lol. There are some comments about Marissa and they are totally justified. She often had an attitude and whether it was about work or not, if you are in the service industry, you gotta learn to shut that off and give good customer service. I give this two stars because I'd still eat the bagels and they do have good pastry items. But yeah, Covid-19 has got me thinking back to when Covid wasn't a thing, and Steve's popped up in my head. Go to first class. read more

Who doesn't love Steve's ? I find the negative reviews baffling. Been coming here for years. Great breakfast sandwiches and always great service. The counter people are awesome. read more

Giving this business even one star is a stretch. Everything about our order was awful. The bagels were stale, the black and white cookies were thin, also stale and tasted awful, they gave me the fat free cream cheese instead of the regular and even the half gallon of milk was sour after only 3 days even though dated a week away. DO NOT GO THERE! Awful. read more

I have to start this review by saying these bagels are the best on the island. The bagels have such good flavor with the perfect amount of salt so that they're not flavorless cardboard frisbees. Their pastry and croissants are awesome too. With that being said, I'd recommend calling your order in ahead of time because they're usually busy and it can take some time to get your food. I literally go out of my way for these bagels even though there's a bagel joint on my way to work. Highly recommend! read more

Only 1 star because if your looking for any type of spread on your bagel forget about it....cheap as cheap could be..I asked for an everything bagel with chocolate chip spread and there was almost nothing on the bagel. I would of returned but was already on the expressway...please don't go here you will be very disappointed.....highly recommend Wallys. read more

Fresh bagels always ... Neat and clean store Friendly staff ... my all time favorite read more

Not enough bad things to say about this place. I stopped here before work wanting to get a simple bagel with cheese and tomatoes. Apparently they only have like 3 types of cheese which is unheard of for a bagel store. Besides having to choose from a limited variety of cheddar mozzarella or Swiss it takes them 25 minutes to make the simple bland sandwich. Instead of making the sandwich all they do is yap and yap with other employees. What a waste of real estate on the block, definitely won't be going back here again! read more

Don't start you morning off at this place, will put you in a bad mood first thing in the morning. Bagels are expensive bought 2 plain bagels with cream cheese $6.00?! Which would be fine if they were at least friendly and nice in the morning. Rather drive an extra .250-.50 a mile to get better service and a softer bagel! read more

"A BAGEL PLACE WITH NO BAGELS" that is what the title should be.... stop in here to find no bagels have been made and the place opened late for whatever reason.. this indicates to me laziness..... read more

Fast service. Great food. The bakery is amazing. Will definitely continue to stop in for breakfast and they have my business for birthday cakes as well. read more

Me and my boyfriend stop in all the time! There's always a lot of people there so it's a little bit of a wait but it's totally worth it. The people are so friendly and the food is great! It's my go to place. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!!! I don't know why there aren't any reviews on here. The staff is great and the food is good! Love coming here during my lunch breaks. :) read more

Plenty of parking. Clean place. Food is fresh and very tasty. Staff is fast and friendly. Will definitely return

If you want a fresh good bagel or breakfast - this is the place. Some might say a little pricey for a bagel place... But hey, you get what you pay for. Pay a $1 or 2 higher and have a meal that you will enjoy. read more

We've lived in the area for 8 years, and we got breakfast sandwiches here once, they were excellent, but then we started cooking at home. Now with kids, and less time in the morning to eat, I've rediscovered this place and it's as good as it was 8 years ago. Friendly, quick service. Plenty of parking. Tasty egg sandwiches and fresh bagels. Clean place, and everyone working there seems to know exactly what they need to do to complete an order--no "behind the counter confusion", which makes for a great customer experience. read more

Best bagels. I've had them since I was a kid and pick up a dozen every time I am back on LI for business.

Been coming here for years. They boils their bagels property and cook them fresh on site so you can even get a warm one from time to time. Soft and chewy on the inside and crunchy on the outside the way s bagel should be. I'll also add that the bacon on the egg sandwiches has always been super crispy and yummy for me read more
