Family-owned · Long Island · Since 2002

Kettle-boiled. Hand-rolled.
Beloved.

Twenty-plus years of crisp-outside, dense-inside bagels — and a kitchen that turned bagel-mornings into full-service catering for offices, weddings, and every gathering in between.

Our Story

A Long Island bagel shop, with a twist of culinary creativity.

Brendel's started in 2002 with one simple idea — that a good bagel should be the kind of thing people stop in for, again and again. We kettle-boil ours the old way: a crisp shell, a dense, fluffy inside, baked fresh every morning before the doors open.

It worked. Two decades later we're still here, but the kitchen kept growing. What started as a bagel shop became a full-service eatery and a catering operation that feeds offices, weddings, and family celebrations from Hauppauge to Glen Cove. Same ingredients, same care — just for fifty people instead of two.

The promise hasn't changed since day one: traditional tastes, a little creativity, the finest ingredients we can find, and a team that genuinely loves feeding people.

The Brendel's method

Four steps to a perfect bagel.

Nothing fancy — just the way bagels were meant to be made. The shortcuts most shops take are exactly the ones we don't.

Hand-rolled, every batch

Every bagel rolled by hand on the bench — no extrusion machines, no shortcuts. You can see the difference in the bite.

Kettle-boiled the old way

Boiled in a kettle before they ever hit the oven. That's what gives the crisp shell, dense crumb, and chew you remember.

Real ingredients only

Boar's Head meats and cheeses. Fresh produce. House-made spreads. If we wouldn't eat it ourselves, it doesn't go on the menu.

Baked fresh every morning

Bagels, muffins, danishes, spreads — baked and made fresh before the doors open. Yesterday's bagels don't leave the building.

We've fed Monday morning meetings at Suffolk County offices, school faculty rooms in Centereach, bridal suites in Huntington, milestone birthdays in Centerport. The orders change. The way we do them doesn't.
