What Steven S likes about Chester Bagel & Deli:
This became my go to place after I discovered the place nearer to me was stealing from me over and over. I first noticed it on my credit card. Then other townspeople were saying the same thing. I'll never go back. This is the go-to place in this area for top NY bagels. The bagels themselves are high quality and the sandwiches are prepared great. Chester Bagel is the best. They are honest and the place is very clean.... View all feedback. What Frank Bell doesn't like about Chester Bagel & Deli:
Tried to find out if the gluten free bagels truly are gluten free , meaning no cross contamination in prep area , oven etc . Refused to answer the questions , that tells me there's no separation of gluten free and regular items . View all feedback.

Ordered a fat Albert. Sub was smaller than expected and filled with more peppers than meat. 2/5 taste. Cash only as well.

I keep trying to give this place a chance but the bagels just aren’t good. Very dense, not soft or crunchy. Cash only is super inconvenient too.

Not bad, but nothing extraordinary with my bagel sandwich. Didn’t realize they were CASH only, which to me is ridiculous in 2022. No one carries cash anymore. I...
