Island Bagel Bar Lawrence Reviews
Great atmosphere. Lots of tables to sit down and barstools by the windows. Amazing food. Staff loves what they do. It is evident by how friendly they are and how good the food is. I've gone 4 times and ordered different things each time. Everything was superb. And they dont run out of flagels by 10am like alot of places do.
This is our favorite place for breakfast, lunch or an anytime nibble! We always order the Nutella pancakes, avocado toast ..you can't go wrong with their hot food and sandwiches which are always delicious! We are thrilled that they are also on doordash. Give them a try..it won't disappoint!
Hubby and I used to order on door dash/Uber eats, but decided we'd go in to see the experience live. Let me tell you, great staff. You walk in and it's clean and welcoming. Staff is ALWAYS attentive, personable and just amazing people. It feels like they truly CARE about what they do here. I would recommend you go nowhere else, unless you want to be disappointed. Oh, and my coffee is always done perfectly 😭😭😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The bagels were good and they had a large selection of things to choose from. They had a sitting area to eat or wait if you wanted. The service was fast and friendly. It was a little cramped during the morning rush though but they still delivered fast service.
Visit Date: August 24, 2025 I drove my friend to the airport super early in the morning. The night before I was hanging out with my boyfriend who is her housemate. So I stayed at his house napping on the couch while he watched TV until it was time for her early morning airport drive. After I got her to airport I had to go to work 9 to 1. So I opted for a gym shower at planet fitness instead of going home. I stopped at Island Bagel Bar for breakfast and lunch and coffee before going to work after my gym shower. The service was great, the atmosphere was your standard bagel place. I found the food to be just okay. Not great but not bad either. I had a bagel with cream cheese for breakfast, a coffee with french vanilla creamer and tuna on a roll for lunch. They also gave me a bag of chips that was included in my tuna. Overall this is a decent bagel place to stop in for food. The price wasn't bad. $17 and change for breakfast, lunch and a coffee in this economy isn't a bad price.
This restaurant, situated at a bustling intersection, opens early in the morning. However, the service is lacking and the wait times are unreasonable. Despite seven people behind the counter, it took 25 minutes to receive a simple order of a bagel with eggs and bacon, along with an orange juice. Additionally, it seemed that Spanish-speaking workers were serving faster than others, which I found offensive. While I am fluent in Spanish myself, I preferred to communicate in English to gauge the overall service quality.
Island Bagel Bar in Burnside. July '22 I had an egg sandwich which was alright (pictured) and iced coffee. but my friend who ordered eggs and potatoes for breakfast was really dissatisfied. The scrambled eggs were runny and the mushy potatoes looked so unappetizing that he could not finish it. We haven't tried their bagels.
I ordered a dozen pumpernickel bagels and two “heros” pictured to be made of bagel dough. Two free bagels were supposed to come with a dozen. I only received 12 bagels, only two of which were pumpernickel. The “hero’s” were ordinary Italian deli bread. No reason they could not call to say they couldn’t fulfill my order. No reason to offer unavailable items. Never again
This place didn't even have the decency to say they cancelled the order. They keep moving the time further and further away. Tried to cancel and it said i would be charged, called the store ofc no answer. Finally get an email saying they cancelled but we waited almost 2hrs for the food. We could've chose an alternative if we known sooner. Very inconsiderate, never again! Now everyone is still hungry..smh
Absolutely terrible customer service. I stood in line for 10 minutes with no one behind me, and the staff just ignored me completely. They walked back and forth behind the counter, making no effort to acknowledge my presence—just focusing on what looked like to-go orders or Uber Eats. As soon as a man joined the line, the guy behind the counter suddenly decides to ask what can I get for you. I was completely shocked and frustrated. I get that places can get busy, but it’s not hard to simply say, 'I’ll be with you in a moment.' The lack of basic respect for customers is why I no longer go there."
I went in, the guy asked me what I wanted, I told him what I wanted, he didn’t say nothing back, I assumed he heard me, I’m waiting around for 10 minutes before the cashier asked if i ordered, I told her yes I did order, and that I told the sandwich guy what I wanted, and it turns out, the guy who asked me, just ignored me on purpose, and wasn’t even making my sandwich, i didn’t get the guys name, but he may be a lunatic, because that’s psycho behavior, I just walked out, Because I don’t want to force anyone to make my sandwich that I’m going to be paying for, I feel so offended🤦🏻♂️
Today I went in to get two items and one lady was before me . I got my money ready in my hand because I was next . I watch the older gentleman take care of a lady whose order wasn't ready . He then started taking care of other things while I am standing there smh . I then saw a girl come over didn't say anything I asked but no one acknowledged me . I had then left the items on the counter and walked out the store and went some place else . I never felt so disrespected and will never walk back in there again. Acknowledge every customer treat people with respect, I never felt so bad .
Since new ownership, everything is ok. They are more concerned watching soccer games than listening to their customers. Please do us a favor and get better napkins that are not hard as newspapers.
I try my best to give them the benefits of a doubt but it’s literal robbery. They’re skimping on eggs each order depending who makes the order. Yesterday I came in and a nice gentleman made my order perfectly. Today I come in and the guy who has to make my order I told him exactly how i ordered the day before and he messes up. I remind him please fried eggs not scrambled. He then continues to put one egg on the gril but they’re charging me for two on the order. I spoke to who looked like the manager and was told they’re making another egg to satisfy my request, just to stand there waiting for nothing. They both walked off and me aggravated walked out when one woman behind the counter asked what I was waiting for. Unprofessional and why give attitudes when I’m paying for everything I want I’m not asking for nothing free.
I just gave the my $25 for free basically in this state of inflation I ordered a combo and of course I didn’t get my side or soda and I also ordered iced coffee not only did they put my sandwich in the same bag my food was swimming in coffee and my sandwich chicken taste a week old , long story short, order from somewhere else.
I ordered a everything Bagel with 2 pieces of beacon, a slice of cheddar cheese and chicken salad in the bagel. Tell me why they charge me almost $15 dollars. The cashier must have charged me a pound of chicken salad at $9 dollars per serving. Ask the price before ordering. Highway robbery!! Never again 😒
On 6/27/24, I arrived at 6:45 to a locked door when their new hours are until 7pm, both employees (one female and one male) neglected to open and the female employee even did the kill sign saying it's closed. This is unprofessional. Update: came again on 6/29/24, at 6:54 this time and doors were locked again. A business should have their doors unlocked and open for business until their officially listed closing time, which is currently 7pm. This is a big pet peeve of mine for businesses who close their doors on the regular prior to closing time. I used to work in the industry and I totally understand doing pre-closing work so you can get out of there as soon as possible but service should always be available within any posted business hours
