BagelSmith — Restaurant in Town of Smithtown

I’m a Long Island expatriate who’s “home” on a visit to see my dad. I know that some bagel shops sell dozens at deep discounts in the last hour of the day, so I ran down here to Lawrence Ave. to see if Bagel Smith does so. Google Maps said that they were closing soon—16:00. (It’s Thursday.)

Well, I got here at 15:20, walked up to the shop, and noticed that it seemed dark inside. Yep. The door was locked. They were closed more than a half hour before their stated hours said they would be. That’s disappointing, because from the outside, it looks like a nice shop.

I hope that they didn’t have a family emergency or something to necessitate closing early, but apart from that, I don’t know why they would. It’s unseemly to close early by 40 minutes just because things...

The women that runs the deli is really nice and her food is amazing and on point. She loads up her sandwiches, however it was 3pm and they don't close until 4pm, I was starving and hoping I could get an awesome sandwich but she said that she closes in an hour and she already washed the machines so she wasn't making anything....that was extremely disappointing...your still open for an entire hour, if you dont want to do business after you clean then close up shop at 3pm what's the point in running a deli but not serving food the last hour. My suggestion is to close at 3pm not 4pm if you dont want to serve your customers...

I've been coming here for a long time because its closer to my house than others, but somethings have changed here. The Bagels have shrunk to almost mini size and the pricing has gone up alot with all there stuff. I know things have been going up, but when your buying a couple of bagels and couple of drinks and add maybe a egg sandwich in there and the price is over 30 dollars. Thats not a good deal. I compared it too 24 hr bagel and you get way more for your money and the bagels are huge and better. Cant come here anymore, just not worth the money. But there staff is great..I love the old lady ,but...
