Terrace Bagelry & Bake Shoppe

Just tried this place again, lured in by the new ownership signs and deals. I can tell you — it was worth the stop. The bagels are top notch and my sandwich was fantastic too. You can tell the new owner really cares about this place and values his customers. The customer service matches the food now! Two thumbs up

Great bagels great service!!! The food is great and the staff is nice and quick. The store is also very clean! Will definitely be coming back.

I would find a better place to eat. Horrible customer service. The female employees constantly screw up orders. On numerous occasions I witnessed flies in the pastry cabinet. Don’t waste your time and final a cleaner more professional establishment. Most of the employees should be fired and a new manager should be hired.

Came here for a bagel around lunch time. Place was very clean, staff was friendly, no long lines. Got a whole wheat everything, wasn’t the best on Long Island but was pretty good. They also have yummy iced coffee.

Unfortunately I’ve given this place a try several times bc it’s close to home. Each time without fail something comes out wrong, even something as simple as «just a whole wheat everything bagel». Not sure why that’s so hard to accomplish but my bagel always turns out being plain, whole wheat, anything but what I asked for. Advice to the staff — LISTEN to your customers. Won’t be returning here until they get a better staff.

Good turkey club, it takes a while for the food to be served though.

Tried this place out again two weeks ago.
Same slow and bad service, I even got lambasted this time for «ordering in the wrong place».
I’m sorry Terrace bagel place, you have no signs stating where to order and I was under the impression that when I walk into a deli/​bagel store, that I would be placing my order at the counter. There was no line, and nobody sitting at your tables so again, what was the issue?
One more anecdote, please keep your «salad bar» clean. I don’t even want to guess at how many different persons DNA is present on that food. I mean, a salad bar, right next to the busiest section. Just what I want, to make a salad after the sanitation worker before me has leaned up against the salad bar counter.
Pass for good. Serves me right for giving this place a second and third chance.

I’ll start with the good: the bagels are up to par. I’ve heard service can be slow here but my egg sandwich came out within 5 minutes and was delicious.
Unfortunately, the middle aged man behind the counter who served me was unbelievably rude. On another day I would have cancelled my order and walked right out of there, but I was hungry and had somewhere to go. You can bet I won’t bring my business back there though.

Very good bagel they deliver which is a definite PLUS one of the BEST chicken soups I have every had!

This place is not constituent with food served. Sometimes you get a great sand which, sometimes you bread with a little something in between. I had ordered the same panninni several times and each time it tastes different and is a different size. You would think when competition opened up less then a block away they would get there avr together but they actually got worse. I definitely do not recomend them.

It’s a pain to get to. Alright not too much, it’s right off Sunrise Highway, but it’s hidden in a shopping center that I can’t tell is being built or demolished, tucked somewhere in a corner.
It’s a nicely furnished place inside. It’s clean, no long wait in the morning, and places to sit. If you’re from the New York metro, you probably know what a good bagel tastes like. That’s what they got here. Not the best, but pretty good. And they got bagels. And they can do a variety of things with your bagel.
They got Italian cookies too. They’re okay, I’d stick with the bagel though. You’ll look cooler with the decent bagel in your hand than a mediocre pink leaf-​shaped cookie. Now if it was a great leaf-​shape cookie of a different color, things might be different…

What a great little gem hidden in Islip, too bad it’s location isn’t a little bit better so more people can see it off the main road.
The place has so many selections for breakfast and lunch, along with a full bakery counter with some really amazing cannolis (drizzled with fresh chocolate that stays un-​melted). Every employee is so friendly and eager to help out and they really keep the place beyond clean.
It’s a Long Island bagel spot so of course they carry all Boar’s Head products, but i was shocked to see how many they actually stocked, not just the meats but the cheeses too. I ordered up an Everything Bagel w/​Turkey, Monterery jack Cheese, Crispy Bacon, lettuce, tomato and Mayo. It came w/​a side of my choice and I scooped up the Macaroni salad. The poor bagel could barely hold in this mammoth of a sandwich; it was so tasty and filling, I can’t wait to be back in the area because I’ll definitely be going out of my way for another one of Terrace Bagelry’s amazing creations.
