If you’re in the East Northport area, and you’re looking for a real bagel, this is the spot! It’s a gem! A whole in the wall, mom and pop, old school shop, with a lack luster sign, in a tiny parking lot, makes this place easy to miss, but don’t miss it!! I’ve been getting my bagels from here for about 8 years, and it’s always been consistent. After living on the Queens border for many years, I was shocked after moving to East Northport that many bagel shops in town don’t really make bagels. They make donut shaped bread. And most locals are so accustomed to eating this donut shaped bread, that they actually have no idea what a real bagel should taste and feel like. It’s strange. Or maybe locals settle for a less-than delicious bagel, so they can sit in a trendier setting, which I also find weird. But, I digress. The point of all of that is to say that at Stuff-A-Bagel, you will get the closest thing to an authentic city bagel that I have found anywhere in this general area. Yes, I have tried every bagel shop in East Northport, Northport, Greenlawn and Commack. And none of the ones locals brag about even compare to this one. When you visit Stuff-A-Bagel, your bagel will be perfectly cooked, slightly toated and “al dente” on the outside, while nice and doughy on the inside. It will have that “pop” that a bagel should. (If you know, you know.) Their bagels are delicious and addicting! Also, their cream cheese tastes homemade, as every bagel store’s should be. If you’re not making your own cream cheese, are you even a bagel store? (Tangent again, sorry.) Also, the owners here are such lovely people. They are warm and welcoming. They value getting to know their customers, which is a rare thing nowadays. Their prices are fair, and they’ve thrown in a few freebies a couple of times, when my order was larger. And, they keep the line moving. You never have to wait long for your order. I cannot say enough about how wonderful their customer service is. Warning to those who do not like kindness and socialization: (as a previous reviewer stated) you may feel an unfamiliar feeling to interact with your fellow man. But it’s okay. You can do it. Stuff-A-Bagel is delicious! Next time you’re on Larkfield, driving by, stop in and see for yourself. Better yet, next Saturday, grab your weekly dozen from there! When it comes to bagels, THIS is a place that people should be...
Read moreUpdate: I have had several deliveries there since May and the service has improved. Therefore I am changing my rating. On Mother's day I went there for a delivery pickup I waited in line and ask the elderly lady if my delivery was ready. She brushed me off didn't even check the name and said they were working on it. She went back to the other customers and took their orders. After 10 minutes another non dark skinned delivery woman showed up for the same company. The younger woman checked the name and gave her order right away. She then looked at me asked me if I needed help. I explained that I was told by the older woman that my order was still being prepared. I gave her the name. She checked the completed orders behind her and found my order. It was already done! She asked my name and on the tablet marked the order ready for pickup! I was the only brown skinned person there. Everyone else who wasn't dark skinned was help with a smile and quick service. She didn't ask the name of the other non dark skinned delivery woman just me. I had to go back and hour later for another pick up. Same slow service. It's obvious they don't like dark skinned customers. I called my customer agent and made them aware of the treatment I received and asked they be restricted from my future routes. You can't pay me enough to...
Read moreI’ve ordered from this location multiple times through DoorDash , there always seems to be either something missing from the order or the order is wrong. After a few times I stopped ordering from here, after a few months I thought maybe the service would get better, maybe they weren’t used to using delivery services or something. Idk I tried to give the benefit of the doubt. So I recently ordered again and an item was again missing, directions weren’t followed even for options that they provide and charge extra for. I’m not sure what the issue is at this location, workers need to take a little more pride in the job they are doing and the service they provide to their customers. I worked at a stuff a bagel in my teen years and this level of service wouldn’t have flown at that location. Mistakes happen but shouldn’t...
