The Gourmet Bagel Co - Riverhead
SEH First time trying this place, Riverhead definitely needed a new bagel/breakfast spot. Everything was almost perfect.
I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on an egg bagel. It was perfect, delicious and exactly what I ordered. Really good. I got a small cup of coffee which was included with my sandwich- awesome.
They have a great variety of everything, not just breakfast but lunch items too.
The only semi-negative part of my experience was that when I first walked in I was ignored for a few minutes. No one greeted me, or even made eye contact. A simple, “I’ll be with you in a moment” would’ve been great and made a better first impression. There was one person ordering ahead of me, but otherwise it wasn’t insanely busy. It won’t deter me from trying them again, but just a suggestion to at the very least acknowledge your customers existence (even if busy) when they’re waiting to order, because I was half tempted to just leave. They’re new so I’m sure the kinks will be worked out. When I did interact with the employees they were all very nice.
OTHERWISE it was a good experience. And I’d recommend them.
