I've had the great joy of growing up on Long Island. I'm sure you've heard a lot of things about it, we are good for a lot, but most importantly, we have the best bagels. Now, I don't know about you, but I'm a huge foodie, and since I was a kid, bagels have always been my favorite food. So, I have gone on the hunt to find some of the best bagel places on Long Island. Here are the ones you should check out!

1. Bagel Boss

Multiple Locations

Bagel Boss is known for their amazing tasting bagels filled a mile high with your spread! They have a unique variety of cream cheeses and great customer service! The best part? They're open 24/7!

2. Bagel Biz

Melville, NY

Great for their "old fashioned chewy bagels"! Bagel Biz has a huge variety on their menu, but known for their consistently good customer service and great tasting bagels.

3. Signature Bagels

Riverhead, NY

Looking for some of the best bagels on the east end? Head on over to get yourself a great, fluffy, doughy bagel! Great smell from the second you walk in! They have great new cream cheese flavors, and friendly employees.

4. Hand Rolled Bagels

New Hyde Park, NY

Now, I have not personally tried these but they come in highly recommended. These are crispy on the outside and warm and fluffy in the middle! Their house cream cheeses are the highest rated I've seen as well! Apparently they are so good you don't even need a spread!

5. Strathmore Bagels

East Setauket, NY

Now, I don't care what anyone says, this is the best bagel place on Long Island. I have grown up eating bagels here and I have found no place to compare. Their bagels are always warm and fresh. They have the greatest tasting cream cheese and great customer service. They seem to have a unique taste which is highly addictive. Dig in!

6. Wally's Bagels

North Babylon, NY

If you're in the mood for a "comfort bagel" then Wally's Bagels in North Babylon, NY is the place to go! Although it may be small inside and there's no room to sit down and enjoy their bagels inside, it won't matter once you take one bite. Once you're there try their new rainbow bagel with funfetti cream cheese! You'll be in heaven!

7. First Class Bagels

Deer Park, NY and Northport, NY

This is the bagel store that has everything you could possibly imagine. You can walk in and get a bacon, egg, and cheese for breakfast, and a deli sandwich for lunch! They also have a huge salad bar where you can customize your own salad! They have daily soups you can choose from and different types of coffee too! This is definitely a spot you need to check out if you happen to be driving down Deer Park Avenue on the way to the beach this summer!

8. Avenue Bagels

Deer Park, NY

This is the family owned and operated bagel store that everyone will be at on Sunday mornings in the Deer Park area. It's on the smaller side but there are tables where you can sit at and enjoy the company of another person with an awesome bagel! They also have a smaller coffee bar where you can make your own cup of coffee to your own personal liking.

Well folks that's a wrap! Try out these amazing bagel places and let me know what you think!
