Rockaway Bagels

If you want a bagel, cant go wrong here they sell a good bagel. Only issue is why can I get a hungry man platter but I can't get a Hungry man Hero for $12 of course without the pancake and french toast. I would like to know. Thanks.

A great local bagel and sandwich corner spot! I love coming here for their freshly made bagels — always warm, soft, and satisfying. They offer a great variety of fillings and cheese spreads, all of which taste super fresh. The prices are just right, and the staff is quick, friendly, and attentive. Definitely a go-to for a solid breakfast or lunch bite.

Bagel is super fresh and they know how to make a bacon and cream cheese properly. Really good prices as well and the staff was super friendly!

The bagels are go-hard exceptional !!! I got the baconeggncheez on a poppy and it was essential for the perfect beach day. I am so happy far rockaway has one of the best NY bagels I've ever had. The best part about coming here was looking for parking and not knowing what i got myself into

Fair prices, great bagels, friendly staff. They definitely don’t skimp on a breakfast sandwiches

The cashier in this store charges whatever she wants to. I ordered the same sandwich 2 days in a row except on the second day she wants to charge me $4.50 more. I don’t mind paying for my food but I don’t like being scammed and then being given an attitude on top of it. This lady started talking a different language to my face to complain about me to her coworker. Very rude! Never coming back!

This is one of the best bagel shops. Their bagels are delicious and have just the right amount of crunch to the outside and softness to the inside. The service is fast and friendly, especially during the morning rush. I love the mini bagels. They make a great treat for my staff and clients. It's very clean and the prices are very reasonable.

I would like to know how they are comfortable wrapping this up and allowing someone to pay for tgis and take it home to attempt to eat this!! Thr toast is clearly burnt on both sides. I tried to calm the store however it just rung out. So I decided to post a review. This is simply terrible customer service and poor treatment of a customer...I want my money back and an apology. Please fire the cook. Thank you.

Bagels are delicious and fast and friendly atmosphere! Definitely recommend to all to stop by if in area

Such a gem. Rockaway bagels have the nicest staff, who are so welcoming. I've been there a few times and each time it was a good experience. I'm a particular person when it comes to my sandwich, so i do ask for a lot sometimes and they always accommodate me. The bagels are big and soft with a good taste. I normally asked for mine scooped because it is alot of dough. I like to get a BLT with crispy bacon and it never fails. They have so many options to choose from when it comes to bagel types, sandwiches and meal options. The store is walk-in only with no seating options. Its clean and spacious enough to hold a lot of people.

If you want bagels to prepare at home this is a great place and an important small business in the community. Bagels are always fresh and have a great taste. The service is efficient and moves as it gets crowded in the small space. I didn't give them five stars for two reasons; one is the lack of variety. They don't have flat bagels most of the time and if they do there are hardly two kinds, brown bagel varieties are almost nonexistent, and that's unfortunate. Second, when I have had my bagels prepared by then I have been disappointed by the skimping on everything and when I ask for a toasted bagel I want a toasted and not a warmed bagel. This has happened to me enough times where I no longer order prepared food I just get the bagels.

Huge and tasty, my go-to place for bagels. Fast service when you call in, expect to wait if you don't.

Very nice front staff. Very good at making iced coffee. But nobody understands how to scoop a bagel! I don't know if it's a Queens thing a Rockaway Beach thing, but this is unacceptable. I live across the street and have had more orders wrong then correct. Learn how to scoop a bagel.!!!

Can't say enough about this place ! I order every morning for pickup ! The bagels are fresh everyday. All varieties. My fave are the everything Flagels, all the staff are friendly and orders are made quickly with love ! You Won't be disappointed, place is clean. Opens real early am to get your day started

My Saturday go-to each week. Fresh bagels, friendly staff, super organized with taking orders and always delicious food!

Amazing bagels and great service! They're my favorite bagel place is Rockaway for sure

This is the best bagel shop in Rockaway. A must visit place. If you like freshly baked bagel with an assortment of cream cheese this is the place to visit. Also, I was in the mood for a bodega style sandwich and I order one here which reminded me of the bodega one...delish. I go there one every other week

This used to be a great place. Not sure if they changed management the service is now terrible. I placed an order on the phone went to pick up waiting an additional 5 minutes. Pretty sure they did not even start my order. Someone that walked in after me and placed an order on the store had his order before me. When I asked the "manager" what was going on? He instantly gave me an attitude about my order which was just scrambled eggs and bacon on a bagel, considering this is a bagel shop one of the most popular things on the menu. At this point I told him I didn't want the order, and he yelled something at me as I left. Will not be going back what a shame!! We supported this place for years!

The bagels here are YUGGGEEE! But! They also have smaller bagels, for those who want to mind their portion control. They also have all the usual deli stuffs like bialys, rolls etc and hot and iced coffees. They also have sandwiches and salads. I was just here for breakfast, so I cannot attest. Note that they don't accept AmEx, which isn't a criticism, just an FYI.

Really enjoyed everything bagel toasted with tuna and toasted cinnamon raisin with peanut butter and jelly

Thank you Rockaway Bagels!!!! You are the best bagels in rockaway and customer service is top notch. Your food is amazing. Thank you just doesn't seem enough so my continued support and recommendation to eat here is what I can do. Enjoy people !!!!! The surfers delight was a joy on my taste buds!!!!! See you guys soon !!!!! Til then all stay healthy!!!!

Rockaway Bagels you are absolutely terrific, I had an incredible experience here today. The ambiance is awesome. Each and every single thing that we have ordered was incredibly fresh and delicious. The crew is very helpful. I really valued that. Will definitely come again!

Hands down best bagel I've ever had. I live in nyc my whole life. I have lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and tried there bagels. Cant even compare to these bagels. So doughy and perfectly made. 10/10 recommend

Food is okay but this place tries to pull a fast one on customers. There is a up charge for a hero $1.25 which is fine. The next day they were out of hero's and explained to me the price is the same on a roll.

Literally right next door to my office, these guys have always come through for us. Sandwiches and salads, for those days when we forget to pack lunch. And it's where our patients and doctors buy our entire staff a bagel breakfast for a treat some mornings. Really can't complain~

Love this bagel shop. Quite a busy little spot for good reason. They have quality food for average prices, and the crew that works here are top of their game. My choice of menu here is typically the same getting either a BLT on a roll or Bacon Egg and Cheese on everything bagel, and a quality cup of coffee. Never dissapointed!

Good place but watch the guy who man's the register. Tried to be slick and short me big time with my change because it was busy. Cold busted him. Make sure you know exactly what everything costs and count your change!!!!!

I used to be a hardcore Boardwalk Bagels fan about 10 years ago. But this place has by FAR the best bagels on the peninsula. I'm talking real deal, NYC bagels. Crispy on the outside, soft and scrumptious on the inside. Just as good as some of the "best" bagel shops in Manhattan. If only they delivered... a man can dream...

After reviewing Surfside Bagels a few days earlier, I stopped in to Rockaway Bagels to check out the competition. I bought some salt bagels, a small container of cream cheese with scallions and a quarter pound of lox -- all to go. The quality at RB was definitely at the same high level that I found at Surfside. As other reviewers have remarked, this storefront is cheery and active; the people who work here dispense smiles and positive energy to the customers at the same time that they're working their tails off. Highly recommended!

I have been going to Rockaway Bagels nearly every day since I first saw it. A Very Long Time Ago! In the 80's, I think. And, I have SEEN the fresh made Bagels! And, have had them still warm!

I love this place!!!! The bagels are ALWAYS fresh and the service is also great!!! I'm sad every time I'm done eating my bagel because I wish it was more. Bagels are my life!!!!

My friend has been getting me bacon, egg and cheese on a whole wheat everything bagel and omg it's so good. I've tried other places and nothing compares. I've also enjoyed their French toast. My daughter is very picky but loves their food. Oh and yes I will come from Valley Stream for my breakfast when I can.

I love this place, and miss this place- I used to eat here almost every morning on my way to work. They have a point system and the points are REALLY worth collecting! They add up quickly! Bagels are fresh and tasty! Creme cheeses of all types but the walnut is the best!

Rockaway Beach Rob The best bagels in rockaway period. The problem is the people making my order. 50-60% of the time my order is wrong. I know i should check my order before i leave the establishment. Sometimes its super busy and i do not, ( My fault) Call me crazy but if i pay for something i expect it to be correct. When i go and complain to the cashier she says people make mistakes we are not machines.I understand that but come on over half the time my order is not complete. Thank you.

In New York, bagel stores are pretty common. However, none are like this one. The bagels are always fresh and huge. Moreover, there is a variety of bagels to choose from whether mini or flat to whole wheat. The iced coffee is great and the staff are always sweet and attentive. Definitely worth checking out!

I love their chewy delicious whole wheat bagels and the whole wheat everything bagel is to die for. I'll keep coming back.

I've been eating at this bagel shop since I was about 5 yrs old back in 94. My mom used to work at Island Pediatrics a couple doors down and I can remember going there whenever I had to go to work with her. Here I am at 28 yrs old and I still love this shop as much as I did then. Best bagels in all 5 boroughs.

Pretty good bagel shop. Not comparable to the one in park slope I loved so much. But not bad. This place is deff cleaner! And everything is nicely displayed as well- the guys making the food are super nice and friendly! You don't get many mess ups on your orders. The cashier lady could be a little nicer- but it's ok. The food is good. They have good flag bagels which I love. Some assorted infused cream cheeses so that's also good::). My turkey, egg and cheese flat bagel was very good:).

Best. Bagels. Ever. Yelp is making me write more stuff, but that's superfluous. The staff is friendly, they have other nonbagel things, and also stuff to go with your bagel, but that doesn't really matter, because they have the best bagels anywhere, ever in the history of mankind.

Bagel shops are everywhere in the Rockaways. I can probably name like 6 within a 5 mile vicinity and thats a lot considering the lower diversity of food and amount of restaurants in the area compared to other boroughs...and even in other parts of Queens for a matter of fact. Parking is street parking. I guess if you are feeling froggy there are various lots nearby where you can park if you are running in quickly but you might get towed. so just pay for the meter. Anyway, it's a busy little place with for the most part fast service. Theres like 3 or so tables to sit if you are dining in...which I wouldn't recommend especially during the busy hours as you end up having people towering over you wither junk in your face because the line wraps around the whole storefront. But, that's just me. Foodwise, they have everything a typical bagel shop in NY has. Regular, wheat, onion, everything and so on types of bagels. Cream cheese galore. They make breakfast sandwiches, which are very tasty. Coffee, cold salads and soft drinks. I usually get my go to toasted wheat bagel with pimento cream cheese ( I love olives) and it turns out alright. A little skimpy on the cream cheese but I still enjoy it. Quite honestly, I've been to like 4 out of the 7 or 8 bagel shops here and so far this is my least favorite. Why? Not the food, not the convienant location or ease of parking. Those are the good things. Its the service. The guys here are jerks. I understand this place gets busy. But its usually the cashier who is just impatient. It seriously makes me avoid going here and only out of desperation I truly come here. Overall? Not a bad place but for the best bagels in the area go to All American Bagel and Barista II in Broad Channel.

Best bagels on the beach hands down. Delicious breakfast sandwiches that they don't mess up. Something about their bacon is just different lol. My only complaint about this place is the lack of parking. Especially on a busy weekend day. Bring someone in the car with you to jump out and grab your order. I would also suggest calling in your order ahead of time.

i've heard they were closed but recently reopened with renovations. the food is great! i tried a weird combo but it turned out delicious. garlic bagel with chicken salad and a slice of tomato. they also gave me a little side dish of antipasti which had pepperoni and ham. so good. yumm!! the breakfast prices are abit on the high end but still good. theres a nice rush of people getting food early in the morning. they close at 3pm so it calms down around 1-2pm. their menu consists of bagels/croissants/desserts/pancakes/french toast/rolls/deli sandwiches hot and cold/eggs/bacon/ etc. a very nice assortment of breakfast/brunch options. i love coming here for a quick bite to go. they sell newspapers as well. its right across the street from waldbaum's on the side of wendy's.

The bagels are amazing. The service is great, along with the friendly staff. The buffalo chicken salad and pasta salad are my two favorites. Highly recommend for breakfast.

The Good The place is alway empty in the morning no waiting . The Bad The bagels look good but have no taste and if you get cream cheese or eggs it doesn't help.The cream cheese has no taste and the eggs taste like rubber when you order them on a bagel . The Ugly The price is a total rip off for the product they offer .Staff is way to friendly never a good sign before you are screwed ..

I love bagels! And if you want a good bagel and fast service go here. We have lots of bagel cafés on the peninsula but this one is the most organized store in taking your orders and getting you out fast. We are always in and out in less than 6 minutes where the other two bagel spots I reviewed on the peninsula will have you waiting 20 minutes for a bagel with butter not toasted smh. There bagels are very tasty and the people who work there are friendly. We love this place!!!

Delicious! Ran into this spot for the first time the other day, ugh where have I been all these years! Best bagel I've had in Rockaway. Period. Can't wait to go back!

I would give this place a 0 star due to the staff that works there. I ordered a bagel and it too 5 minutes. Apparently they put my order last and put other customer in front of my order. This place is not worth your money.

Love this place. Huge bagels, fresh food and best customer service. Can't ask for anything else.

I love this bagel place. Best bagel place in Rockaway! Bagels are always nice and fresh. Workers and the boss are very nice and friendly people. Will recommend this place to anyone.

Awesome Bagels, Awesome Service, Always Clean This store should be shown by the Department of Health so people can see what a store should look like

i came,to this store today to order my regular french toast. now anyone who knows owsley me, know that i can't stand overcooked burnt french toast. i asked them to please do it over politely(as god is my witness). there owner out of no where started screaming and yelling- that's their way we make it. i explained that i have been coming here for the last 3 days of my surgery and people have been exceptionaly professional and nice. his response in front of everyone in there store, was: i don't care i'm upset and this is there way i am speaking to you. "still" in a calm voice, i explained that i am the paying customer and he was being rude. his reply was: "so what i dont care". i can't believe the owner was as disrespectful as he was.... i have lived in rockaway alllllll my life and his mannerism was absolutely disgusting!

I've worked in a bakery for over 5 years and managed one for a while. In my quality standards, this shop is okay. I cant say it was THE BEST. It was my first time eating a bagel sandwich (Im on holiday from Oz), still I wasn't extremely impressed. Yes, it was delicious, I highly recommend this shop. Value for money, we couldn't even finish the other half. Maybe it would taste immaculately delicious hot out of the oven? Staff were very friendly too. Go for it, they're good at what they do.

Simply delicious! I love this spot. The bagels are fresh and tasty and they have a large variety as well. The hot sandwiches and breakfasts are good too. They have parking in the back which is great since parking could be tough around here. Also, they keep the place clean which is a huge plus!

Great service, unbelievable bagels & coffee. Love this place recommend 100 times over.

Love this place, it's clean, impeccable attention to details, great food, great quick staff, if you want to sit down for lunch make sure to avoid the peak hours. Highly recommend!

Best Bagels on the Rockaway peninsula. They are very big and very good. They have a wide variety of flavors not found in other bagel stores.

I am infuriated with the cashier in Rockaway Bagels. My friend walks in with her service dog and she starts screaming "that dog can not be in here" we said she is a service dog. She says "I don't care, we don't like dogs and allow them in here. They lick everything. You gotta get it out of here right now" My friend went to order because she knows her dog is allowed to be with her and the lady is screaming. She says "you need to get it out of here, have someone go stand with it outside" The other patrons were upset and we were all upset. The manager comes out after the other staff tells her its the law and the dog can stay. The manager defends the cashier (who I believe is his family member or wife) saying she didn't know. Smh we told her and she chose to still carry on!!! It's not my friend's fault that she wasn't educated on the laws. The manager stated they are having an issue with the veterinary hospital staff allegedly bringing in dogs. Issues or not with whomever that still doesn't change the law. Hopefully lesson is learned and the lady is a lot nicer to future customers. Unfortunately she caused my family and friend to not want to frequent there anymore.

They are probably one of the best places to grab a bagel on the peninsula. They are an institution and pretty much anyone who lives here will advise you to check them out if you need some doughy goodness. They are currently (As of July 2008) undergoing construction inside...but they are still open. Grab a bacon,egg and chees with an iced coffee...mmmmmmmmmmm
