Goldberg's Famous Bagels

Goldberg's has been an Oceanside institution for decades, and they've earned their fame with one particular innovation: the flagel. That's a flat bagel, for the uninitiated — all the crispy exterior, less of the chewy middle, and absolutely perfect for those who want maximum cream cheese surface area.

But don't let the flagel fame overshadow their traditional bagels, which are equally excellent. Kettle-boiled and baked in a proper deck oven, they have that authentic New York chew and slight malt sweetness that separates real bagels from bread circles.

Their whitefish salad is legendary — made in-house daily with a recipe that's been unchanged for generations. Pair it with a toasted everything flagel and a coffee, and you've got the perfect Long Island morning.
