Bean and Bagel Cafe — Restaurant in Town of Riverhead

"Good" food and since the weather permitted, my cycling group took our break on the front porch. A bagel and coffee will cost you an hour's working class, Long Island wages...a little less than ten dollars which is under two dollars if served at home. This is not the Hamptons on the other fork after Riverhead. "Gourmet" everything including corn flakes is to be found there where prices are ignored. I will use this as a snack stop for future two-wheeled adventures. Eat MY fruit, drink THEIR coffee (It is "good" java).

Bean and Bagel is not a "cafe" despite the coffee served here, but neither is Starbucks. Cafes have table service in Paris. In America you wait on line and sit and talk for five hours. At Bean and Bagel you wait on line and watch cars go by on the Pothole Highway. It would be nicer on a back porch if they had one.

Do you want a healthy meal? It depends on your definition of what ""healthy" means. Bean and Bagel does not fit that definition for me because it is antithetical to my endurance athlete's breakfast regimen. Protein and complex carbs are necessary. Their white flour bagels are the equivalent of an entire small loaf of Wonder Bread. Give me a whole grain raisin muffin any day. Every day.

Bean and Muffin Cafe with table service would be more suitable and enjoyable. Otherwise, this is the same as a 7 Eleven outpost. It is a matter of what YOU like, not...

After the high suggestion of a family member I decided to give this place a try . Unfortunately I can NOT give Such a rave review as her. My first order had items missing and the counter experience was chaotic . Thinking this was a one time thing and understanding mistakes happen I gave it another try . To my disappointment my second experience was even worse than the first . Both times I called in my order for pick up and repeated the details and even had it repeated back . This second order was completely wrong and over priced. What was supposed to be a hot pastrami sandwich was cold and lacking on the pastrami, the knish was ordered with smoked mozzarella ONLY and what I received was a knish with three pieces of some bologna looking meat, cheese. soggy and squished . Along with those two item I ordered 1/2 pound ham , 1/4 pound pastrami and 1/4 pound cheese all were sliced way too thick. Still can not fathom how this should’ve costed damn near $50 !!! Needless to say I will NOT be coming back to Beans and Bagels . Oh and the second order counter experience was just as chaotic as the first . No one in store , five people behind counter and still waited too long to be serviced. Get it together people! To top things off I’m pregnant and my lunched was ruined twice...

I've lived near here for year and finally decided to try it out. Walking in you have no idea where to order or what's going on. After getting the food and drinks we tried the lattes on the way out the door and it tasted like nothing but cream and milk with foam. We threw them out before even getting in the car. Then the sandwiches looked good but the bacon was thick and so hard it couldn't be eaten. The cheese had a funny consistently to it. It's like it didn't fully melt and tasted weird. Then the other sandwich had honey turkey which if that's all they had they should have specified bec with ketchup on it does not taste well. Also just waiting for everything in general took way to long when only 1 other person...
