3/29/15: Jericho Delicatessen Salad & Yogurt Bar Bagel Bakery

Hi Everyone!

Today Sunday Bagels With Dad decided to pay a visit to Jericho Delicatessen Salad & Yogurt Bar Bagel Bakery in Jericho!

Rebecca ordered a light-colored sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Bryan ordered a well-toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Here's how we rated it:

Taste: 2
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 3
Cost: $5.00

We were somewhat disappointed with the taste of the bagels from this bagel shop.  Rebecca thought her bagel could've been slightly better with a little more cream cheese on it, but wasn't exactly sure because the taste of the cream cheese didn't entirely appeal to her either.  The bagel shop itself was very nice.  There was ample seating room and lots of space to wait for your bagels to be ready for you.  It was big and spacious.  Our server was nice, and he did check to make sure Rebecca's bagel was light-colored and that Bryan's bagel was well-toasted.

Overall, we definitely wouldn't rank this as one of our top picks.  Although we did have a good experience in the store, the taste of the bagels left something to be desired...

We look forward to continuing our quest for LI's best bagels!  Where should we head next?  Tell us in a comment or email us at sundaybagelswithdad@gmail.com.  See you next week!

Hi Everyone!

This week we stopped by Bagel Patch in Holbrook!

Rebecca ordered a light-colored sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Bryan got a toasted sesame bagel with just a little bit of cream cheese.  Here's how we ranked it:

Taste: 2 1/2
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 3
Price: $6.25

The bagels were of a good size.  However, we were disappointed with the taste of both the bagel and the cream cheese.  Rebecca felt the cream cheese tasted a little too buttery.  The store itself was nice with ample seating and ample room to wait both to order and as your order was processed.  Our server was nice and she checked to make sure Rebecca's bagel was as light as she wanted it.

Overall, we liked the atmosphere and service of this bagel shop, but we wouldn't necessarily recommend it highly because we weren't very fond of the taste.

Don't forget to check us out next week when we head somewhere new!  Where should we go next?  We're always open to comments or suggestions through post comments or by e-mail: sundaybagelswithdad@gmail.com  We look forward to hearing from you!

3/15/15: Bagel Brothers Gourmet Bagels & Deli

Hi Everyone!

This week, we took a trip back to Holbrook and visited Bagel Brothers Gourmet Bagels & Deli!

 Rebecca ordered a light-colored sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Bryan got a well-toasted everything bagel with a little bit of cream cheese.  Here's how we ranked it:

Taste: 4
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 4
Cost: $5.50

The bagels were an average size, not too big or too small.  Rebecca's bagel was very light, just the way she likes it.  We found the bagels to be very good in terms of taste.  The bagel store itself was nice, although a little cramped as it was very busy at the time we went.  Our server was very nice, and he made sure that Bryan's bagel was well toasted and had only a little bit of cream cheese.  Rebecca's criticism was that her bagel didn't have much cream cheese, either, and she enjoys having a substantial amount of cream cheese on her bagel.  She believes that she would've enjoyed the taste of her already tasty bagel even more if she'd been given more cream cheese.

All in all, we had a very good experience today and would place this bagel store fairly high on our list of favorites so far.

We're looking forward to bringing you new bagel places each and every week.  If you have a favorite bagel place that we haven't reviewed yet, let us know!  We'd love to hear from you!  We're also open to any comments or suggestions you may have about our blog.  Comment or e-mail us at sundaybagelswithdad@gmail.com.  See everyone next week!

3/8/15: Bagel Doctor

Happy Daylight Saving Time Sunday Everyone!

This week we paid a visit to Bagel Doctor in Oakdale.

Rebecca ordered a light-colored sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Bryan ordered a well-toasted everything bagel with just a little bit of cream cheese.  Here's how Bagel Doctor stacked up:

Taste: 3
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 3
Cost: $4.80

The bagels were an average size and tasted a bit too doughy.  Also, the cream cheese we tasted today was not our favorite, either.  However, the bagels store itself was nice.  It was roomy with ample seating and ample waiting room, providing a non-cramped experience even on a busy day.  Our server was very nice and made sure Bryan's bagel was well-toasted, as he'd asked.  However, she neglected to put napkins in the bag, and, as we often eat in the car, this could've posed some problems for us had we not thought to check in the bag.

Overall, we wouldn't rank this as one of our top picks since the taste of the bagels wasn't as good as we would've wanted.

Got a favorite bagel place you think we should visit?  Are you the owner of a bagel place that wants to get noticed?  Comment or email us at sundaybagelswithdad@gmail.com.  We'd love to hear from you!  See you next week when we head somewhere new!

3/1/15: Bagel Biz & Sweet Hollow Bakery

Happy March Everyone!

This week we went to Bagel Biz & Sweet Hollow Bakery in Melville!

Rebecca got her usual, a light-colored sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Bryan ordered a well-toasted everything bagel with just a little bit of cream cheese.  Here's how Bagel Biz stacked up:

Taste: 4
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 5
Cost: $6.08

The bagels were very big.  The bagel store itself was also very big, and is nice for people who like a place where there's always something going on since it was very crowded.  Ample seating. There are also lots of baked goods prominently displayed (which were very delicious looking).  Our server was very nice, and she listened to our directions very well--Bryan's bagel came out just the way he ordered it!  The cost definitely surprised us, though--it is definitely one of the largest prices we've ever paid for bagels!

All in all, we're not sure we would consider this one of our top picks, but we would say that we enjoyed our experience there today.

Where should we go next?  E-mail us: sundaybagelswithdad@gmail.com.  We'd love to hear from you!  Don't forget to check us out next week when we head somewhere new!
