Bagelafe — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I had been wanting to try this place for a while arrive the food is halal but didn't have a chance until today. Went with my husband during his lunch time so we were kind of in a hurry to enjoy our meal and head out. After ordering we waited like 15-20 mins on a Thursday morning when it wasn't even that crowded or that many pick up orders (only 3 people were ahead of us and 1 pick up order). So by the time the food came, I was so hungry that I didn't take a picture and started eating right away lol. I got the southwest wrap on the side secret menu and switched the sausages for hashbrown. It was really good and will definitely come back again for it! My husband got the meatlovers omelet with paratha and his was good too with a huge portion, but the southwest wrap was definitely better! We got the karak chai but it definitely wasn't strong enough for what I was expecting. Iguess I'll try the coffee next time. This place was decorated very beautifully and with ample seating. I want this place to succeed but I think they need to add more desi fushions in their menu like with aloo ki boujia in the anda paratha roll etc and spice things up. Location is great, very visible off the main road as well as plenty of parking spots in front and behind. Please improve the speed of service and add more items to your menu and you'll do great...

I came last week (first picture) with some friends and loved it so much that I had to come back today(2nd picture) with my family! The place is very spacious, decorated nicely and has the cutest paintings on the walls. Last week, to try both savory and sweet we ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, french toast, the BQE sandwich and lox bagel. The french toast and pancakes were perfectly sweet and so delicious. The BQE was so good we devoured it! I’ll quote my friend here: “It was YUM, Melt in my mouth, 10/10 experience.” The lox bagel was good, but we realized after that we should’ve added toppings like capers, but regardless we enjoyed it. Today, I brought my family and we ordered the meat lovers omelet, the spicy tuna sandwich and of course the BQE sandwich again! I also ordered an iced karak chai and it tasted exactly like, if not better than what I was expecting! The meat lovers omelette was packed with meat and cooked perfectly. The spicy tuna sandwich was so flavorful and yummy! And to top it all off the employees were very nice and helpful😊 I’d definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a halal...

Awesome, cozy, modern halal breakfast spot. We ordered zk sandwiche,spicy tuna, anda paratha roll, French toast, cappuccino, iced karak chai.

ZK sandwich was our favorite along iced karak chai and French toast. Spicy Tuna was okay as Tuna spread was very little, so you taste salad and bread more in each bite. Anda roll was good, anda had subtle touch of black pepper. Brioche French toast was fresh, fluffy, and delicious.

Though we ordered hot cappuccino, we got warm, not hot one so we asked them to warm it up for us.

They have few halal treats available around the counter area for purchase. My son got a crispy halal treat, which he wanted to try for long but couldn't as usually it has gelatin in it. There was halal beef jerky, too. I bought a jar of Turkish honey 🍯 ☺️.

It's self seated and very busy, so you have to wait and hunt for seating. You see muslim youth enjoying the breakfast in groups. Loved the ambiance. Wall morals are beautiful.

Service is a little slow but not bad.

InshaAllah will be coming back to...
