5/22/16: Poppy Seeds Bagels

Hi Everyone!

On Sunday, we visited Poppy Seeds Bagels in Centereach!

Poppy Seeds Bagels
1941 Middle Country Road
Centereach, NY 11720
Phone: (631) 467-1771

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

Taste: 3
Atmosphere: 3
Service: 4 1/2

We thought the taste of our bagels was average; not the best we've ever had, but not the worst either.  The store was very small with very little seating room and NO waiting room.  Our server was very nice, and she made sure our bagels came out the way we'd ordered them.

Overall, we were satisfied with our experience, but wouldn't give Poppy Seeds Bagels the highest of recommendations.

See you soon!

5/15/16: Bagel Buzz

Hi Everyone!

On Sunday, we visited Bagel Buzz in West Islip!

Bagel Buzz
498 Union Boulevard
West Islip, NY 11795
Phone: 631-587-7449
Fax: 631-587-6223






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

Taste: 4
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 5
Cost: $5.50

Rebecca definitely enjoyed the taste of her bagel more than Bryan enjoyed his, but both agreed that the bagels were very tasty.  The store was nice, and very clean, but could be difficult to find an out-of-the-way table if the store was crowded (which it was at the time we were there).  Our server, whose name was Neal, was very nice, and he went above and beyond to make sure that both of our special orders were made just the way we wanted them to.  He checked with Rebecca to make sure her bagel was light enough and checked with Bryan to make sure his bagel was well-toasted enough.  We also got a chance to briefly meet the manager, a nice man named Ralph.

Overall, we were very happy with our experience at Bagel Buzz, and would definitely recommend it to those in the West Islip area looking for a great bagel shop experience!

Don't forget to check us out next week and that you can suggest the next store we visit in a comment or by emailing sundaybagelswithdad@gmail.com.  See you next week!
