I moved in about 2 blocks away across the street about 5 years ago….and discovered to my delight that not only does Life's A Bagel serve bagels but they serve flagels (flat bagels) as well! The flavor on the bagels is delicious and the texture is perfect – soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside (no toasting needed). The selection of flavored cream cheeses is also exceptional. The staff is very nice and very quick, but I do recommend watching them with the cream cheese as I've received the wrong flavor a few times (there are many to choose from, honest mistake). Two cons to this place: the ambience (not comfortable to sit and eat) and the hours – since they open at 5am, they close at 3pm…. wake up early, get some bagels..definitely worth it 🙂
This place offers a wide variety of bagels and cream cheeses. Plenty of homemade pastries and cookies. Hot coffee and tea. I love that they have mini bagels in a variety of flavors. The OLIVE cream cheese is my absolute favorite. I have tried it in many places around town and this is by far the best and freshest cream cheese. I would recommend this place for those that just want bagels. No grill no sandwiches or meals served here, it's strictly kosher!!!
This small bagel shop is good to have so close to home in LBNY. We usually grab a couple of spreads (tuna, scallion cream cheese, egg salad, white fish) and a couple of bagels and go across the street to Sbux to eat outside with coffee. There are a few tables inside here, but depending on the morning you're in, it can get hot and/or crowded. Bagel quality and variety is decent, as are the types of spreads. They've pretty much got your usual showcase for a small bagel shop, and nothing screams don't go here. People are friendly and prices are what's to be expected from a bagel place. Good food, good location.
I placed a very large order of bagels and spreads for a work function ahead of time and picked them up this morning. The location of this place is prime, so I was thrilled to get a spot right out front! It was packed inside, but my order was ready on time and done perfectly. My only issue was that the woman behind the counter was having trouble with my credit card – it has a chip in it and she continually swiped and swiped and swiped it before turning around and announcing loudly to the entire room that my card was 'declined'. I was forced to use my personal debit card because she didn't know how to use the chip reader which is going to make my reimbursement for work a nightmare.
That all being said, the bagels were excellent and I would definitely recommend stopping by. Next time, I'll just bring cash!!
