Java Day

Java Day is a great place to get a cup of coffee. Their bagels are sub-​par, but would definitely recommend if you need a quick caffeine fix and you have no where else to go.

If you’re looking for a mediocre bagel and coffee to start your day, you can go here. Their bagels are not extraordinary but merely decent. Their coffee taste watered down, 95% of the time. Everytime I order a flavored coffee, they always overdose on the creamer and it’s overwhelming. In the recent months, they’ve increased their prices but I don’t think the quality has improved with it as well. This café used to be a great place, but they seem to be going downhill.
However, they still do have a decent variety of things to eat and drink. If you want a regular breakfast or lunch place, you can go here.

Their bagels aren’t the absolute best but it is the best in this neighborhood. A good bagel shop is so hard to find around a walking distance. They do offer a slightly cheaper price for a dozen or half dozen bagels than most shops.

My favorite breakfast spot in Bayside/​Auburndale area. Cheap, delicious, and huge variety! You can pretty much order anything and it’ll taste good here. Used to think their bagels were amazing, but I think the recipe changed or something… It’s not as fluffy as it used to be. Their cream cheese though, you’ve gotta try! It’s got a light airy texture like its whipped, and a unique taste to it. Nice change from always tasting Philadelphia cream cheese. Coffee is only ok, which is why I usually order to go.
Tip:
They take a bit long to fulfill orders because their food is made to order and they get a decent amount of takeout calls. So if you’re in a hurry, make sure you call ahead to order!

I love their breakfast selections. Out of all, my favorites are their freshly baked crescent sandwich and chocolate muffin. Service is quick and the place is clean.

The employee seems like unprofessional, I was found out that there was a hair inside the egg, disgusting. And the lady is terrible!

They deliver! Favorite bagel place. They also have great lunch specials:)
They have a great chicken teriyaki sandwich.

First off. The bagels are FANTASTIC. Service is always quick and courteous. Parking is so-​so.
Really small shop so unless you’re interested in sitting in small area I would recommend taking it to go.
Minus 1 star for super skimpy egg sandwiches though.

Good option for breakfast & they offer it past 12pm. Ordered an egg & cheese and seems like they only used one egg… way too much bread. Made the sandwich appear tiny.

Listen for a bagel coffee and service with a smile quick convenient this is wgat Unilocal is for give it try– the cheese spreads a re good the coffee is great for on the go — its not the biggest place but serves the purpose

Great little takeout place. They open early every day at 6am and close by 3 or 4pm. They have good bagels, coffee, and sandwiches.
Suggested:
Bagel with Cream Cheese & Lox
B3 sandwich
Texas Melt
Italian Chicken Sandwich
Waffles

Ima letchu finish — but this place makes the best bagels OF ALL TIME. Being from New York my whole life, I know good bagels. My favorites used to be Whitestone Bagel Factory and Bagel Oasis, and they’re still close runner ups, but the bagels here are top.
Huge, fresh, soft boiled bagels cooked to absolute perfection. The lox are also amazing.

They bake their own bagels. Just right amount of crispness on the outside and inside is fluffy. Not too chewy yet consistent texture.

I come here every morning before work great breakfeast and waffles are awsome.

Totally enjoying this tricolore sorbetti — lemon raspberry mango! Friendly staff and pretty interior. Also FREE WIFI. Definitely coming back here…

From the other reviews, I expected to be going to a place I could sit and be served a nice leisurely Sunday breakfast.
Java Day is not that place. It is, essentially, a bagel take-​out.
On the plus side, there were 4 people really hustling behind the counter on a busy Sunday. On the minus side, there is only a counter with a few stools. You get your food wrapped in paper and you don’t get a plate to eat on.
I am always leery of ethnic foods served in places where the staff is of a different ethnic group from the establishment. Bagels are an ethnic food. Flushing is now made up of many people of a different ethnic group from those who consider bagels to be something babies teethe on; perhaps because of that, I didn’t find their bagels to be particularly noteworthy (too light and airy) and their idea of «toasted» was a few shades lighter than mine, which is to say their idea was warm without any change in color.
The background music was predominantly jazz and torch songs at an appropriate volume, which my husband and I really enjoyed. There also seemed to be a number of regulars coming in and greeting/​being greeted by the staff. They had 6 kinds of bagels available and several empty bins; it smelled like they were baking more. In addition to bagels, they had 4 kinds of muffins, croissants, other baked goods, sandwiches and eggs. Prices were low.
Go if you’re looking to bring stuff home for breakfast, but not to eat there.

Hands down the best breakfast/​lunch place I’ve come across, I don’t really start my day until I’ve stopped by here.
The staff is friendly and price is very reasonable.

Great breakfast food
