G&l Bagels - Farmingdale

After trying G L Bagels this morning, I can confidently say we've found our go-to place for when we're back home. The service was fantastic and the food exceeded our expectations. Thank you for brightening up a cold, rainy morning for two people who were questioning their decision to visit during such dreary weather. With temperatures at 58° and rainy, it's a stark contrast to the 95° with no humidity that we usually enjoy. Normally, I'd prefer the heat any day, but this time, if braving the cold means enjoying G L Bagels, then sign me up!

The bagel was so fresh, and the raisen and walnut cream cheese delicious. The hostess was friendly.

They seem like really nice people but I have to say they are absolutely gouging their customers! A bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel is $7.49 and that’s their CASH price. Not sure I am allowed to mention competitors on here so I won’t give out the name but a comparable if not better bagel shop right down the road on main street is $5.79 for their same exact sandwich. That’s a 30% difference. And that’s not the only comparison. Literally every other deli I’ve purchased the same exact sandwich for in the area is considerably less. This is not a typo they are gouging $7.49 for a bacon egg and cheese! You know what’s the worst? When a business owner complains that prices of things are up so they have to make their profit. I get that. I own a business as well. But when your competitors at 30% less than you then you can’t use that excuse anymore. When eggs were super expensive stores raised prices. Totally get that. When the price goes down you are supposed to help your customers out and adjust them back, not continue to take advantage of them and fatten your wallets! It’s simply unacceptable and I will not be going back.Update: The sandwich does come with a coffee or Small OJ but most of their competitors do also! What if you don’t drink coffee or OJ? Do you get a discount? Cmon that’s just an excuse to drive up the price. In one instance there is a place that does not include coffee or juice but you can purchase for a discount of $1 so it’s still cheaper than your prices. There’s nothing to argue here , you are overpriced. Period. As far as complaining directly, would that change anything lol. This is not personal so stop taking it personally. you seem like a really good guy just admit that you are expensive.

The best bang for your buck!! Their bagels are as big as a hamburger. I was full didn't need to buy lunch. Great customer service. I'm definitely going back to this place highly recommended!!! HUGE delicious soft bagels!!!!

I was quite displeased with how the red-haired woman at the counter handled my complaint about my daughter's bagel. There was no reason for her to be so disrespectful. A blonde woman with glasses attempted to resolve the issue, but by that time, I was very upset and decided to leave. The red-haired woman really needs to work on her communication skills.
