7/24/16: Bagel Maniac

Hi Everyone!

On Sunday, we visited Bagel Maniac in Smithtown!

Bagel Maniac
863 W Jericho Tpke #1
Smithtown, NY 11787
Phone: 631-864-2550

Bryan wasn't hungry, so he didn't order anything.  Rebecca ordered a light colored sesame bagel with cream cheese.  Here's how she rated it:

Taste: 4
Atmosphere: 2 1/2
Service: 4 1/2
Cost: $2.00

Rebecca really enjoyed the taste of both her bagel and the cream cheese!  The store was very small, and did have some seating room, but it was very warm and people who were waiting had no choice but to sit at the tables, taking away most of the seating area.  Our server was very nice, and he gave Rebecca quick, efficient service, making sure she got a light-colored bagel.  The one thing we would say was that we were on line for a long time since there were only two people serving.

Overall, we were very happy with the taste and service, and would recommend for those who aren't interested in sitting in the store to eat their bagel.

Don't forget to keep checking back--we post a new bagel store review every week!

See you soon!

7/17/16: Wellwood Bagels and Bialys

Hi Everyone!

Last Sunday, we visited Wellwood Bagels and Bialys in Lindenhurst!

Wellwood Bagels and Bialys
654 North Wellwood Ave
Lindenhurst, NY 11757
Phone: (631) 225-1092

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

Taste: 3 1/2
Atmosphere: 4
Service: 4
Cost: $5.43

We definitely liked the taste of the bagels and the cream cheese; however, we wouldn't rank it as one of our favorites.  The store was nice, but was extremely crowded when we were there, and it was impossible to find a place to sit without there being people on line waiting near your table.  If the line wasn't 20 people long, however, there was ample seating room, and both of us connected with the "oldies" music playing.  Our server was nice, and our bagels were ready quickly.  However, Rebecca feels her bagel could've maybe been a bit lighter.

Overall, we were happy with our experience at this bagel shop, and would recommend to anyone in the area looking for a good bagel.

See you next week!

7/10/16: Moriches Bagel Deli

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't gotten around to posting this yet--it's been a busy week for both of us!

Last week we visited Moriches Bagel Deli in Center Moriches!

Moriches Bagel Deli Inc.
329 Main Street
Center Moriches, NY 11934
Phone: 631-878-7395

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

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

We enjoyed the taste of the bagels and cream cheese, but wouldn't say they were our favorites.  The store was nice, and there was ample seating and waiting area.  Our server was very nice, and she made sure our bagels arrived the way we had ordered them.

Overall, we were satisfied with our experience at Moriches Bagel Deli!

We'll be going somewhere new this morning, so stay tuned for another review!

6/26/16: Goldberg's Famous Bagels

Hi Everyone!

Sorry I haven't been able to post in awhile!  This week we went to SUNY Geneseo for Rebecca's college orientation!  It was a fun experience but a long drive.

We didn't get the opportunity to visit a bagel store yesterday, 7/3, since Bryan was tired after our trip, but last week, 6/26, we visited Goldberg's Famous Bagels in Mattituck!

Goldberg's Famous Bagels
10095 Main Road
Mattituck, NY 11952
Phone: 631-315-5238

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

Taste: 3
Atmosphere: 3
Service: 4

We thought the taste of our bagels was average; not the best bagels we've ever had, but not the worst either.  The store was very small with very little waiting area and the seats were mostly blocked by the large crowd waiting in line.  What was nice was the side door that allowed for a quick exit without having to squeeze back through the line.  Our server was nice, and she made our bagels just the way we wanted them.  She even checked in the back to see if any sesame bagels were ready after there weren't any when we first arrived. 

All in all, we were happy with our experience, but wouldn't rate this among our top picks.

Have a happy and safe Fourth of July!

Bryan and Rebecca
