First Class Bagels Deer Park

This place has always been great for years, but somewhere along the way I ended up going to another shop. Like many bagel shops on LI, that shop I was going to started to put paper thin amounts of cream cheese on bagels. It's a bad trend I see, and their bagels were lacking too. So I went into my memory and came back to First Class to see how it has been doing. First Class is now my default bagel shop when back on LI. Bagels are perfect, big and fluffy/chewy with just the right amount of crisp and bite to them. Blistering on the outside showing proper fermentation and boiling/baking. Everything about the bagels are great, the perfect representation of how amazing NY bagels are. Then the cream cheese. It reminds me of being a kid again, they actually put a normal amount of cream cheese on the bagels. I couldn't believe it! I'm not exaggerating when I say bagels shops all over the island have in recent years been cheating out on cream cheese while raising prices. If I'm spending $5 a bagel I want a normal NY amount of cream cheese! First Class delivers on this, 100%. Nice staff, easy parking, quick and efficient service, delicious bagels, and the extra plus to it all - you would come here just for the baked goods they make alone! They have dozens and dozens of great bakery items that are worth coming here for even if you didn't like bagels. Rainbow cookie cheesecake, giant Danish and cinnamon rolls, crumb cake, cookies, you name it. Love this place and I'm happy they are doing well. If you're not happy with your bagel shop, give them a try. If you are visiting LI, consider trying them out to see what NY bagels are all about.

Best best place for bagels in dear park. This place makes fresh bagels daily that has a line to the door almost always. There is a nice selection of bagels to choice from and they recently added some mini bagels which is perfect for gatherings. We always go here for our bagel sandwiches or just toasted bagel selection to take to family brunch. While there is almost always a line they move pretty efficiently so you don’t wait to long. They have a selection of different cream cheeses and salads (shrimp salad, potato salad, pasta salad, etc). They also have a nice bakery with amazing cookies & pastries. We love the open face and crumb cheese danish the best but their muffins are a close second. The other great thing about this place is the cheesecakes…so amazing! Our favorite is the crumb cake but they also have a strawberry and cherry one. The cheesecakes are so flavorful and rich with out being too rich and dense without being like a block of cream cheese. Love this place!

Excellent bagel shop with nice ambiance. It has a nice siting area and it is clean. They have variety of bagels, and the bagels are soft and freshly made. I ordered the bacon egg and cheese, and my bagel hardly had any bacon in it, I expected a little more than what was served. But overall it looks like a decent place.

This is the best bagel place! Not only are their bagels delicious, but they are also great people and always extremely friendly. You honestly feel like family going to into first class. We use them for breakfast, lunch, cookies, cakes.. you name it. Everything is amazing! Don’t hesitate to stop by here if you’re in the area. You won’t be disappointed!

Loved it! Very friendly staff and tasty bagels. Other people in line were friendly too. Tell the gentleman at the counter that Cheryl had a great visit
