Have been coming to this bagel store for 2 1/2 years now as it's the only bagel store on my way to work. It's always been below par. The bagels aren't great but it served its purpose. Well today ends that! Whenever I would order a bagel with cream cheese there is the smallest amount of cream cheese you can hardly see it!! Eating the bagel open, this isn't really enjoyable. So I started asking for cream cheese on both sides. All of sudden today they wanted to charge me for extra cream cheese! I didn't ask for extra I asked for it on both sides of the bagel. If they put a normal amount of cream cheese to begin with this wouldn't be an issue. When I questioned it the woman in charge gave me an attitude and rolled her eyes. Is $1 gonna make me broke? No but it's the principle. I will not be retuning!! read more

I love this place ,,, the staff is so friendly and nice ,, the food is great,, I love my egg bagel , lightly toasted with tuna and my Arizona ice tea with a bag of chips,, if your near by stop by ,, their open 7 days read more

I don't ever write reviews but the service there really got me upset she by past me like I wasn't there and helped like 6 others and I was at the counter I ordered a simple bagel toasted with butter that was all not complicated the service there or atl this woman it terrible at what she does read more

Most of the staff is friendly and the food is ok. The blond woman taking orders is very rude. She asked me 5 times what my order was but refused to write it down. She never greets people when they walk in and there's been a few times when I'm waiting for someone to take my order she will ignore me and yell for someone from the back. It's very off putting. read more

Just picked up an everything bagel with butter a little after 10am. The bagel was very stale and mediocre at best. I remember when the bagels at this location were the best I'd ever had but that was many, many years ago when it was family run by brothers. I believe there have been several different owners since then. I took two bites and tossed the rest.. a waste of $2.89 read more

U-Need-A Bagels - Everything Bagel with Butter other half is in the bag. - Bagels Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Update 8/27/21: They apologized and gave me another sandwich, which was appreciated. Original Post: I've come here a couple of times in the past and is now my second time there since what looks like a renovation to the establishment. It looks nice but they need to work on understanding and completing orders more importantly. It's the second time in a row with this issue. I'd like for this to be my main spot as it's close to my new place, but I might have to consider finding a new establishment. I ordered an egg sandwich for $6 and when I got to work, there's no egg. How does that work? And the Lady at the front is even writing down my order. English isn't her first language so it looks like I have to spell out my order. Some of the People I've dealt with are no longer working there, which is pretty unfortunate. I called and asked to get a replacement sandwich tomorrow. I'll see if I get it. Anyone who comes here, double check your order before leaving the establishment. I do Doordash deliveries on the side and I wouldn't feel comfortable picking up orders here for Customers. read more

U-Need-A Bagels - This is what a $6 egg sandwich looks like. No egg! - Bagels Near Me - West Babylon, New York

I've only ordered egg sandwiches and coffee from here and I've always gotten good food and fresh hot coffee. The staff are polite as well and packing is never an issue. read more

I'm pretty convinced that they named this place "u-need-a-bagel" because even after you get something from here - you are still in need of a bagel. My main problem here is that these are just bad bagels. I have had many bagels in my almost 40 years on this island and these are the worst ones I've ever had. They aren't really bagels - they are slightly stale tasting rolls with holes in the middle. I have given them a couple of chances since I moved to the neighborhood two years ago but I really can't say they are worth anymore of my time and money. Hard pass. read more

Solid bagel place. The bagels aren't the best on the island, but they are better than bagels you'd find anywhere off of the island. They're fluffier than the usual bagel I've had, which I enjoyed and definitely makes it different from other places and is sometimes exactly what I'm looking for, rather than those super dense bagels you find elsewhere. The quality is fine, staff is friendly and nice. The interior is a tad dated looking and can make it look unclean, but I don't feel that is really the case, but it is something to be aware of. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could. Worst bagels never again guess it was bottom of barrel . I would of preferred if they told me they were out of bagels . They were burnt not dark but burnt out of 15 bagels 3 were eatable. And those 3 went to the kids . Reported them to Grubhub tried to get an email to send them pictures no web site. Never again read more

Friendly honest staff, came here an hour before closing and was treated very well. Got a hungry man along with some bagels for my wife and our daughter. Appreciate the accommodation, will be back. read more

Another spot I can't believe I've forgotten to review. This is the closest bagel shop to my house. I love the ladies behind the counter. And I was so glad when they put the coffee station up front so you can make your own with all the fixings. Not sure why so many bad reviews it's a solid 3.5 star shop but I'm rounding up for variety & service. Not mind blowing but fresh consistent food. The bagels could be a little crustier on the outside but the inside is always soft & tasty. They have breakfast & lunch specials. The sandwiches are amply packed with your choice of fillings. Whether they be meats & cheeses or salads. The coffee is hot, like I like it always. Come in, give it a try. And I've been coming here for many years even under another ownership & they've never gotten my order wrong. 3-30-2016 read more

Stop by after seeing a post on Facebook. 1st impressions are important....when I walked in there was a line and people eating at the table and to me that's a plus! Order was taken quickly and food was out shortly after. We ordered the hungry man on bagel after seeing a post on Facebook.....and I must say we weren't disappointed. Great flavor all around and happy with the experience. Add plus is the staff are friendly and support 1st responders, Thank you for your support! read more

Food is great but 9/10 the order is wrong. It's almost as if they purposely don't write down the orders just to mess them up

Some people that works here doesn't have mental hygiene to prepare food...i have dietary restrictions like no salt or no hot sauce and I complained one time that my eggs had salt and hot sauce as I asked for none of it...next they started putting xtra hot sauce on my bagels on my next visit....never again read more

New ownership so I decided to give it another chance. I've gotten a few BEC, they're alright. Just like any other bagel place in the area. Updated the rating. read more

I've ONLY EVER have a disappointing breakfast here. I noticed that since moving back to my family home off Belmont Ave in NB, this establishment has ALWAYS been inconsistent. I hope my neighbors could confirm this from their experience. Its as if they throw food together as fast as possible and could care less about preparation, quality or attention to detail. I've held off bombing this place with negative reviews but the people of North Babylon deserve better. We could easily go to Wally's, N&B or even drive into the village for the Railway Express. Please improve the quality, quantity and expertise of your staff because soon you will notice people only visiting your establishment as a matter of convivence as it seems your staff serves others as a matter of convivence. This is contrary to the love, pride and loyalty they COULD have your brand. People wont give you love, pride and loyalty to your brand until you show them love, pride and loyalty to your craft. P.S. When a client orders eggs scrambled soft it means to cook the eggs over a low temperature and removed from the source while still slightly runny and damp. The difference is the texture. A fried egg, or a hard scrambled egg is drier and spongier whereas a soft scrambled egg is soft and creamy. I mostly make my money selling insurance but I have a life (25 years) of experience in deli work and that not including my time as a regular client of delis. I certainly speak from an informed place when I say, "you guys could do better". read more

Updated to one star. I keep going back this place despite the constant issues with my orders and the language barrier of the employees. Final straw today...Ordered an egg sandwich for my 1 "singular"friend at my house and they made me two of the same sandwich for some reason then told I said "times 2" in broken English. I have never used the phase "two times" in my life a bagel store. These people are of very low intelligence. They wouldn't take the other sandwich off and already swiped my card then acted like they don't know how to refund me $6 on a credit card machine. "Sorry we can't refund you it's already on your card" are you kidding me? Learn how to run a business. Most of the messed up orders are due to them not understanding basic words. Bad business if you would rather lose a steady customer than refund them $6. You should be out of business like the last people pretty soon anyway. Cost yourself hundreds in business to scam me out of $6. Hire some employees that can speak English and this will stop happening. read more

U-Need-A Bagels - Toasted sesame seed bagel with butter. Dried bread. - Bagels Near Me - West Babylon, New York

Ordered a bacon egg & cheese cake with no bacon Pancake, eggs, bacon & hash browns platter was TERRIBLE. The pancakes were burnt and placed burnt side down in the plate, bacon burnt to a crisp and the hash brown is a frozen patty hash brown & it taste like it was freezer burnt prior to being fried. Lastly my French toast.. was burnt on the top & the bottom was completely soggy & full of raw egg.. worst money I ever spent. read more

Bagels here are the bomb. Egg everything was just perfect, and the lox spread! I live in new Orleans know, so they first thing I get in the morning when I'm home is a bagel, and these are f'ing great. 10 dollar minimum on CC is the only reason i didn't give em 5. Love this place. read more

I am a frequent customer and always pleased with the service. Bagels there have had mixed reviews. They are big and soft, which may or may not be your thing. I think they are very good! read more

This is a great bagel place - most of the staff is friendly! I would say the guys and much more cooler and welcoming than the older ladies. Their bagels are HUGE and taste great!! I highly recommend this place! read more

I have given this place more than enough chances but no more. It is the same person that always gets my order wrong. She rushes me and though it is extremely annoying I make sure to remain polite, clear, and repeat my order. Today she managed to slap a thin layer of cream cheese and barely any butter on two orders. Once, twice I can ignore but more than that is just ridiculous. I don't think I have ever had a bagel in NY/LI that skimped on cream cheese or butter. No other issues with other servers, just the same person. read more

Worst bagels I've ever consumed. They microwave breakfast bagels. The bacon was microwave strips and not freshly fried. I ordered the advertised large ice coffee for $2.75 and they went ahead and upgraded my ice coffee to the super extra GO BIG size for $4.00. I didn't mind their prices but the fake bacon and microwaved bagels ruined ut. STAY AWAY. read more

Bagel was not fresh and had no real "bagel" taste. Kind of like a loaf of bread in bagel form.

Just read the other reviews. They dont wanna pay anyone to be a professional. Clearly the owner hires based on his/her favorites rather then actual skill. If i could make a suggestion to the business it would be to PAY SOMEONE **QUALIFIED** TO RUN YOUR STORE **THE RIGHT WAY** OR YOU WILL REALIZE A DEMISHING FOLLOWING. read more

I want to like this place but I just can't. It's so close to my house and convienent but it's just not good. The place is kind of messy, and some of the people working there just seem like they have no idea about what's going on. The bagels are decent but the order is never right. They don't toast anything even if you ask for it toasted dark it's barely warm. No matter how you order the eggs you get the same thing and there's barely anything on the bagels when you get them. They are pretty expensive and the food is never fulfilling. I wish the place was good but it's just not and the employees just don't care. read more

This place is the absolute WORST!!!! They have HORRIBLE customer service and I will never give them a penny of my money!!! Their loss. If I could give it less than a star I would!!! read more

Horrible customer service. Cashier cut me off mid order - made it wrong - then continued to banter when asked to correct the order. Continued to say things behind the counter with her fellow coworker. I'm very disappointed as this was my first visit here. Hopefully management can train their employees on customer service because this was absurd. All that over 2 bagels not being toasted. Yikes. read more

Spent a week in Lindenhurst and just so happened to be driving down the road and saw this bagel shop. Man, these bagels are something to die for! The staff is very friendly and they have a lot of options to choose from on the menu. Cleanliness is a big thing for me and this place was a lot cleaner than some of the other bagel shops in town. I highly recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. You will not be disappointed! This place defines what a bagel should be, I'll definitely be coming back without a doubt. read more

I have put away a fair amount of bagels in my time and I must say that U-Needa bagels produces the most delicious, fresh and wonderful knock and a schmear I've ever had the pleasure of eating. My personal favorite combination is olive cream cheese on an everything bagel - oh! A must try if in this neck of the woods. read more

NOT a fan. Gave them 3 trys. First time got a bacon egg and cheese on a very undercooked plain bagel. Next I got bologna and American cheese on yet again and undercooked everything bagel. They claim to have Boar's Head there's no way that was Boar's Head. Strike three and you're out I got a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese it is loaded with cream cheese and the bagel is still undercooked. I just moved here and was looking for a new bagel store this is not it. Also whoever was helping me actually yelled at me! She gave me attitude because the person in front of me ordered the same bagel and she accused me of double ordering. When I first told her I didn't she asked me if I was sure. I am so done here never coming back. read more

U-Need-A Bagels - Disguisting. I got it toasted, and it is still undercooked and squishy. Worst bagels I've ever had. - Bagels Near Me - West Babylon, New York

I have a few co-workers who brought me a bagel breakfast sandwich...Wouldn't ORDER HERE MYSELF...VERY BELOW AVERAGE.

Excellent bagel shop in a great location. Been here too many times to count but never officially reviewed it. The food is delicious, I usually come in to grab some breakfast before work and end up having a bacon egg, reasonably priced for the amount of food you are getting. The staff has never been anything but friendly and are usually quick with your order even when extremely busy. I've recommended it to quite a few friends and they've all fallen in love with it too. read more

These are quite possibly the most delicious bagels I have ever had the pleasure of eating. And even the other food they serve is great, more over the staff are friendly and fast. read more

The bagels here are very hit-or-miss. Some days they're good, other days they're just okay. The bigger problem is the cleanliness here, or lack thereof. This morning, while I waited on line, I watched an employee come in to work, rooted thru her purse, checked her phone, then asked the next person what they wanted. She prepared their order without washing her hands. Gross. The woman who helped me had a glove on one hand...the hand she had just used to give change to her prior customer. So, with the dirty glove on one hand and the other hand bare, she put cream cheese on a bagel for me. Needless to say, I was too disgusted to eat that bagel and won't be returning to this place. There are plenty of good bagel places on Long Island. read more

The woman who took my order today was openly chomping away on gum. Absolutely disgusting. And the sandwich wasn't very good either. Next time I want a bagel, I'll go to west Babylon bagels and deli on 109 read more

One of my favorite spots to eat at in the area. The employees there are always polite and professional. The owner is awesome also ! All the food including the bagels are always fresh! It's no surprise they have so many regular customers read more

They CANNOT get our orders right!! It's extremely frustrating. We all ask for it to be toasted and buttered both sides of the bagel, it never is! I called to speak with manager, but they said he wasn't there. How hard can it be to TOAST AND BUTTER BOTH SIDES OF A FLIPPIN BAGEL???b read more

Pretty good bagel place. Just unremarkable. They have a good selection of tasty bagels with lots of tasty cream cheese, but let's be honest. This is Long Island, you can't drive 10 minutes without stumbling on 4 or 5 bagel places. Considering this is the closest one to my house though, this will have to be my go-to bagel spot. Which isn't a bad thing, the bagels are great. It just takes more than good bagels to impress me in a sea of bagel places that are all the same. read more
