iBagel Cafe — A Very Good Bagel Shop
August 29, 2024
Another day, another bagel. Today, we tried iBagel Cafe in Albertson. If these bagels are not good, then I will be moving to Florida since H&H Bagels is opening there. iBagel served up a golden bagel that was light and fluffy. So they nailed the coloring and texture on the outside. The outside of the […]
Town Bagel Plainview– A Cut Above
August 14, 2024
As I continue my pursuit of the best bagel on Long Island, I heard that Town Bagel of Plainview should be in the running. They do a darn good bagel there. My first observation was the parking lot in the strip mall where Town Bagel was located is a disaster. They do not have enough […]
Munsey Park Bagels — Not Worthy of Being Called A Bagel Shop
August 13, 2024
I decided to try a Bagel at Munsey Park Bagels in Manhasset and I was not overly impressed with them. The bagel experience started off well. The golden sheen on the bagel was almost perfect and I have to say that it could be the best looking bagel that I have tasted. That was the […]
Long Island Bagel Cafe
July 25, 2024
I was driving by the Long Island Bagel Cafe in Mineola and decided to stop in to see how their bagels are. I have had so many disappointing bagels that I was really rooting for Long Island Bagel Cafe to deliver. I ordered the standard plain bagel The bagel had a golden brown finish with […]
Barbara’s Bagels Roslyn — Another Average Bagel Shop
July 22, 2024
On a recommendation, we headed to Barbara’s Bagels in Roslyn. This time around, I ordered a plain bagel and whitefish on the side. I have to tell you that the whitefish was just plain awful because it was too salty and tasteless. That is a bad combination. As to the bagel, it had a slight […]
What is Good Here — Food Rant
July 3, 2024
I was on Facebook and I saw this Page where Restaurant Workers complain about things that bother them. One rant extremely annoyed me and it had to do with customers asking what is good here? Why does this annoy me? First off, I ask this question all the time so they are referring to me. […]

June 24, 2024
On a recommendation, I went to Manhasset Bagels to check out their bagels . Manhasset Bagels is typical bagel shop in the heart of Manhasset. On to the bagels The bagel was lightly golden resulting in a crunching exterior. The dough was chewy but a little undercooked. The dough was the downside of this bagel […]
Bagel Boss Hicksville — Had Such High Expectations
June 18, 2024
Since 1975, Bagel Boss Hicksville has been leading the charge with great bagels. The best part of this Bagel Boss is that they are open 24 hours a day. You do not find that in Florida! Even though Bagel Boss has a great reputation and is one of my favorites, we had to follow the […]
Bagels & Bialys — A New Entrant in Best Bagel Challenge
June 13, 2024
Our next entrant in the best bagel challenge is Bagels & Bialys in Albertson. This unassuming store front came as a big surprise. I have passed it thousands of times and would continue to do so. But a friend of mine suggested that I include Bagels & Bialys so off I went. The interior was […]
My Three Sons Bagels — Best Bagel Shop on Long Island
June 6, 2024
On a suggestion, I went to My Three Sons Bagels in Garden City. It looked any other non descript bagel shop. First positive sign was the line for people. I am always encouraged by that. I ordered a plain bagel and some whitefish salad. If I was judging based upon the whitefish salad, this bagel […]
