    It's a bagel breakfast sandwich. It was good. I was able to pick up my order quickly and be on my way to work. No complaints

    Amazing bagel! Just like NJ. Amazing pork roll with egg cheese. The bagel is soft but crispy on the outside

    Extra Cheese Pizza

    The pizza was legit, especially with the extra cheese. Great Neck is finally getting some better pizza spots.

    The Bagel Baker may always look busy. This is because they are so good. Fresh bagels I usually go for lunch. The sandwiches are amazing. I get a different sandwich every time I go and have never been disappointed lately. I always asked to cut mine in half. My husband will get a different sandwich and get his cut in half . Then we can try 2 different sandwiches. We got the Manhattan and the Chelsea. Both very different but both EXCELLENT!!!! They both have bacon on them, and the bacon was perfect. Both very flavorful and fresh.. staff very nice and fast too for a fresh sandwich made to order

    Plain Bagel with Cream Cheese

    Great service, as soon as I walked in I was greeted by everyone, and placed my order for a toasted plain bagel with extra cream cheese quickly. The menu was big, and I got anxious being the only person and ordered what I knew. It makes for a good base of how good everything else would be though. My food came out soon after, and I left to go enjoy my food at home (15 minutes). It felt warm when I got it, but by the time I sat down to eat it was cold. It wasn't like it had been too long from when I got it to then, so I don't know what happened. The bagel itself is dense and chewy, kinda like what I had suspected from the photos. It's like Panera you could say, which was a little sad for me. I like my bagels more airy and not as chewy. The flavor of the bagel was nice, I just was hoping for something amazing I guess. The cream cheese is also good quality, probably could've done with more of it. (I'm in love with cream cheese) Overall, just a cute average lil bagel shop.

    Hard to find a NY-style bagels in the area! But this place might be a winner. Plenty of indoor sitting and even two kiosks aside from the regular counter. Stopped by earlier this morning after the rush & picked up a BB on Broadway (bacon, egg, cheese, and hash brown) as well as a blueberry yogurt muffin. While a little pricey, the bagel was chewy and fresh. And gosh, the muffin was incredibly yummy! I'll have to give the other breakfast sandwiches a try.

    A mad search for New York Style Bagel Bakeries before my son & grandson arrived led me back to this location where my family came in the late '80s. When I walked in it looked completely different. That's because it was. I'm not sure what happened to the old store since it had been decades since I had frequented the bagel shop. This bakery was exactly what I was looking for. They boil then bake their bagels preservative free. It brought back memories of a Bagel Bakery in Atlanta I frequented in the early '70s that actually had the boiling vat in view. The Bakery was decorated really awesome on the outside & inside with sidewalk seating available in addition to the dining area. A separate door was provided for takeout or online orders. I joined the rope line to place my order so I could peruse the menu on the wall. The line featured a long picturesque scene of New York. The inside dining area walls were also New York cityscape scenes. How awesome!! The restaurant was clean & very popular. Takeout orders were placed in bags awaiting pickup. There were many. Breakfast sandwich choices looked spectacular & were all New York themed. But my quest was for the type of single bagels that my family eat for breakfast. My purchase was Sesame Seed & Cinnamon Raisin. I wanted to peruse the cream cheese choices. But there was a line behind me & I was operating on short time. Reading the background of the owners I learned they were a couple from New Jersey who founded the bakery in 2012. They have a food truck & also have plans to open a delicatessen in the space previously occupied by 58 Deli Diner. My son & grandson said their Sesame & Cinnamon Raisin Bagels were good. And my son perused their Breakfast & Brunch Bagel Sandwich Menu. The location is in the shopping center on the southeast side of the intersection of Mill Dam Road with N Great Neck Road. Coming from Shore Drive driving south there's easy entrance by a left turn on Mill Dam & and immediate right into the shopping center. I will definitely return, maybe even breaking my diet & choosing a Breakfast Bagel Sandwich.

    The Bagel Baker is the first place I visit when I come home from college. I've tried many Bagel shops in my college town, and nothing ever comes close to Bagel Baker's bagels and coffee! The owner is so sweet. I also bought a 1/2 dozen to bring back to college with me.

    I was so excited to try after seeing so many good reviews but it wasn't really anything special or maybe i'm not the target audience. Definitely don't recommend the sausage if you pick a bagel sandwich! The iced coffee was okay too. I think the bagels with just cream cheese would've been fine too. There was just something about both sandwiches that had an aftertaste. Aside from that, the staff is very friendly! They made it very smooth and convenient.

Since the kitchen is open you can hear the cooks doing cook things. She was irritated by the noises coming from the kitchen but once again....grain of salt. The volume on her TV is at 80 and she can't hear it but can hear the kitchen noises. 3. The seat was too hard. Once again....grain of salt. She is skin and bones but I will bring her something to sit on next time. She actually did enjoy the food but I got the leftovers. :) We will be back.

The ambiance was nice, the open kitchen with the wood fire hearth right at the entrance added a warm cozy feel from the onset. The restaurant was warmly lit but not dark. We were seated immediately in the far left dining area in an elevated booth. After reviewing the menu we settled on the fried deviled eggs and wood fire oysters for starters and the Vincent Vega pizza for dinner. Fried deviled eggs was a first for us and it was so good! The egg white was breaded very lightly and fried and the egg yolk was piped on top with a piece of smoky delicious bacon goodness. It had a nice smoky, bacon-y taste and we devoured them. I only wish you got more than 2 pieces. I think 4 pieces would be better for the price considering it's essentially one egg but I'm not complaining. The wood fire oysters was another hit for us, the serving came with 6 half shell oysters topped with breadcrumbs (light), swimming in butter and fire roasted. I think we ate these even faster than the deviled eggs lol! Would definitely get these again. The pizza also did not disappoint. If you like bacon, mushrooms and creamy Boursin cheese, you'll love this pizza. We added crushed red pepper flakes which added a nice kick. The crust is the star of the show; thin, crispy but still has body and slightly chewy. Yum! That wood fire hearth definitely makes a difference. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely be back! The staff were also very nice and friendly.

My boyfriend and I went to Shorebreak for the first US game of the World Cup. As expected, it was an absolute zoo. We didn't have reservations or seats. Somewhat dejected, we approached the packed bar and admittedly, I expected a serious wait before I got a drink. In comes Martina! She almost immediately flagged me over to get a us drink and started my tab. We ended up moving outside and found some seats at the outside bar, so thrilled! Of course, Hannah was quick to take our orders. All was well... then came the rain. It turned into a downpour and we had to rush inside. We wondered about our nacho order while we dripped from the rain, packed into a sea of people. But Hannah found us right away! She got us more drinks and checked on the nachos. She said they were probably cold at this point and insisted that she put them in again. She brought us more drinks and nachos all in the chaos of the night and never forgot about us. At halftime, I realized I needed to close out my tab with Martina at the indoor bar and was dreading it, as it had only gotten more crowded. But once again, immediately upon my return, Martina found me and closed my tab for me. As usual, the food and drinks were delicious. But I really wanted to point out the exemplary service we received (esp by Martina and Hannah) on one of the craziest nights I've ever experienced at Shorebreak! Wonderfully run place, and the service really made the difference between a disastrous night and a memorable one.

Upon entry a sign signaled of BOGO burgers, and immediately my melancholy demeanor turned to excitement. Throughout our dinner we experienced great drinks, great service, and the best part... great camaraderie amongst my crew. Still reminiscing of our great time and would recommend to any common folk. Now comes the bad, when we received the bill; let me tell you I was shocked! When I read -$7.5 off as a freind and I ordered a $24 Burger and split the bill. Am I crazy? half of 24 is 12, why am I seeing 7.5? Being the astute young man I aspire to be, my first instinct is to question and deep dive. We were blindsided to hear that in Shorebreak's dictionary BOGO means by one burger get the second one $15 off or the price of the cheapest burger with no cheese, and no add-ons. There was no warning, no asterisk on the sign, no fine print on the menu. My review is not out of spite and not to spark any anger or backlash but to inform the general public of a clear cut example of false advertisement. like I said the food, service, views were well above par, and I happily paid my bill and spoke with the manager on duty of an obvious communication error that was received in an apathetic manner. PSA to all Shorebreaker's that BOGO is not what you think it is and I don't want to see any other unsuspecting users fall in the same trap. 4/5 stars food was great the sign could use and update.

As an entree, I had the whiskey burger with truffle fries. I really liked the cheese curds; they're a lot flavorful than traditional mozzarella sticks. The house made sangria was really good too! We had to stop ourselves from just sucking it down. The burger is where I had the issue. It was a little on the dry side.... Too well done despite asking for medium. It also wasn't seasoned well. The only flavor rally came from the bbq sauce and onion straws. The truffle fries were good though. The menu said they won't best burger of Virginia Beach, and that was made me get a burger. Not the best burger I've ever had. Next time, I will try the pizza and probably go to the Shore drive location since that is closer to my house.
