Old Country Bagel

Bagels are fresh And the place is overall clean. Coffee was quite good as well and choices were good. My only gripe is that the staff didn't seem very welcoming unless they knew you. This was evidenced by a few Older ladies eating in there and being catered to with warm, friendly conversation, whilst I just received cold, business like responses such as "yes" or "no". Felt a bit unwelcoming, I'm sorry but it's the truth! Otherwise their food is good.

Best bagle spot in the howard beach, lindenwood, ozone and woodhaven area

Bagels are very good here. A large selection to choose from. Different flavors of cream cheese/spreads. Coffee here is good. Friendly workers. Clean and neat. When you walk in you smell the aroma of coffee, bread, cake.

Love this place. Their bagels are always fresh. The coworkers are sweet and friendly. I drive over a mile all the time just for their bagels. The only bad thing is that they don't accept credit cards.

In my view, this is the best breakfast place in Howard Beach with many breakfast options other than bagels. There are delicious pancakes, belgian waffles, scrambled eggs with mushrooms on croissant--its like Sarabeths in the boroughs. However, my criticism is that when you order a hot cooked breakfast to "eat in" at one of their eight or so tables, there is mass confusion because you still have to wait at the counter for your food--and then only when everything is cooked can you pay for it on the counter. This is kind of silly esp as it could be 10 minutes or more until your food is ready--they should just ask you to pay at the counter and then deliver the food to yoour table as it arrives. The staff will sometimes bring parts of your order to your table but they never offer to do so when you order at the counter--really need a better system to serve people that want to eat in. Also, the place is very chilly in the winter when you do eat in. On the plus side, self serve coffee too beats the Dunkin Donuts up the block hands down.
