Best Bagels & Deli PERMANENTLY CLOSED

Strathmore Deli is our Saturday morning breakfast site. While we enjoy the food and service, this review primarily commends our favorite waitress, FRANCINE. In addition to providing excellent service, her hospitality and personality are exemplary. There's not been a time when she has not been pleasant. She makes our morning. Way to go Francine and kudos to the owners for hiring her.

I love this place. We go all the time and the food is always fantastic. They treat my toddler great. She loves the food as well. When ever we have friends in town we take them here. Today we ordered the food for delivery. I am so excited that we have a place that delivers something other than pizza! The owner are great as well.

I love the food in this place. The portions are huge; enough for 2 meals, the service is professional and the kettle boiled bagels are exactly how a bagel should be, crispy on the outside. The Flagels are my favorite, less dough inside. The menu is so large there is something for everyone in all different price ranges. I love homemade soups and the chicken Matzo Ball and Lobster Bisque are awesome!

On Sunday there was a large group of us and we all ate different things, tasting each others breakfasts and lunches. Everything was great but the Challah French Toast with Almonds and Granola was fantastic. Corned beef used to be my favorite but the French Toast is up there as well.The waitress serving us, Jenell was very accommodating and efficient and was not flustered at all with a large, noisy bunch of demanding customers. The owners came by several times to make sure everything was okay and spent awhile chatting with us. They went around to every table and it appears they really care that their patrons have a good experience.

I'm happy there are more varieties of dining in Palm Coast and the best part for me is that they deliver!

I agree with MB, the bagels were excellent when Strathmore opened but there has been a sharp decline in quality... chewy and undercooked. We stopped in for lunch one day and the food was average and pricey. If you've ever had a fantastic pastrami sandwich in NYC, keep that memory because you won't find one here. Modest portions, high prices. The staff behind the bagel counter was friendly when the place first opened, a lot less so now. The owner makes a show of walking around and smiling but he doesn't seem to be taking care of business.

Almost $10.00 for a tuna sandwich on a bagel. It's good but not worth it when you have alternatives for half the price!

The food is good but the prices are too high.

I absolutely love the food, service and attitude of this restaurant. I have never had a meal that wasn't fresh and tasty and the portions are huge, one certainly gets their money's worth. It's been years since I've had a real water boiled bagel and a genuine egg cream soda.It is a true delicatessen. I'm a Reuben man and it's better than any I've had up north.

Went there today and had the Caesar salad with chicken...it was wonderful. Mom had the kanish and barley soup...she loved it, and she is so difficult to please.

The bagels were great when they first opened, but they just don't taste the same. Maybe they changed bakers but the bagels are not as good as they were. Found somewhere else for a great bagel at a better price.

Great restaurant, great food. Very responsive owners. If the prior terrible review got your attention, take a look in the Flagler Forum where the owners replied within just over an hour with their apology and how they solved the problem. The ladies in question came back and received complimentary meals, the hostess is no longer there, and so on. I'll go back. In fact, I'll go back often! I'll take friends! I'll tell more friends. We'll have meetings there. Love their chopped liver and Sloppy Joe wraps too.

I was in Strathmore's last Sunday morning and couldn't believe what I witnessed. A customer had just been seated and served coffee at a small table. She explained to the waitress that someone would be joining her in just a moment. The hostess came over to her table and starts barking at her to "get up because they don't hold tables for customers" you could tell the lady at the table was embarrassed she said "I'm not asking you to hold this table, I'm here and my friend will be here any minute. We left church at the same time, she is probably parking her car right now." But the hostess wasn't giving up and then said in a very nasty tone" Do I need to get the manager" and wouldn't you know it this poor woman now had the hostess and the manager hovering over and telling her to "get up". I just couldn't believe how rude and nasty they were being to her not to mention the scene they were causing.

The lady left the restaurant embarrassed, as anyone would be. ONE minutes later her friend walked in and the Hostess tore into her, all she did was ask if her friend was there. To top it all off that Hostess (in what seems to be her naturally rude demeanor ) told everyone who was waiting for a table to get outside and wait there. I will NEVER go back there I don't care how good their bagels are. The Hostess AND Manager should be ashamed of themselves!

Hubby & I went on 2.23.08 for lunch & absolutely LOVED IT. It was a little bit on the pricey side but worth it. They have the BEST Liver pâté I have EVER tasted. Service was wonderful & friendly. Hope they stay around for a long time. Good Luck to the owners!

I've had lunch at Strathmore Bagels several times and have never had anything but an outstanding meal. I've tried something different each time and have gone home raving about my choice. My husband could have gone anywhere for lunch on his birthday but chose Strathmore Bagels. He had a corned beef and pastrami combo on rye and said it was the best he's had in years! My absolute favorite is the chopped chicken livers - the best I've had in years! The coffee is great, the pickles are great, the cucumber salad is to die for and the bagels are the real thing. The carrot cake is also fabulous. For years we had hoped a good deli would open in Palm Coast and we got more than we hoped for - thank you Strathmore Bagels.

I love this place! I wish they could have been in Palm Coast for years, proves that good things come to those who wait...thanks Strathmore Bagels.

Can't say anything bad about the food served at breakfast or lunch. Service is great and friendly and the owner comes around to ask how everything is and actually seems to enjoy his customers. The coffee is okay (believe it or not we prefer McDonald's and/or Starbucks) but the food and service make up for anything the coffee lacks. We were hoping to see a Panera Bakery open; however, this new restaurant will continue to be one of our favorites..

Finally a bagel that doesn't look and taste like it was made by a grocery store and trucked into Palm Coast.

My family and I went for lunch - everything was delicious! The service was terrific. We got seated right away & our orders promptly taken by a very friendly server. The restroom was very clean. The only thing I wish was better is the parking situation. Maybe one day they will relocate where the parking spaces aren't so limited.

So, I took my son for breakfast this morning. We each had a bagel and we split an order of potato pancakes. The service was friendly and excellent. The hostess, Millie, was friendly and fun to talk to - she shared some great stories with us. We had two waitresses and both were attentive and prompt. The bagels were EXCELLENT and the Potato Pancakes are unmatched anyplace else I've had them in Florida.

It is a little pricey- just under $20 for the two of us but well worth it for the atmosphere, service and family feel of the place. The only complaint I have is that the coffee isn't very good- they use a liquid coffee system that is marketed as comparable to brewed but it's not even close. It's lacking the aroma and full flavor of real brewed coffee.

I think an establishment that is primarily breakfast can't afford to have bad coffee and I even noticed some folks who dined in brought in Dunkin Donuts coffee. We will be back!

The bagel was good but unfortunately their coffee is terrible. I am of the sort that likes coffee with his bagel as part of the morning and their coffee is nothing but brown flavorless water.

I happen to really like the coffee. It is rich and aromatic. Ocean Hammock uses the same system and I've always enjoyed their coffee. In fact, I like everything Strathmore has brought to Palm Coast. Great food with many things you can't get anywhere else, wonderful service and caring owners that want to please their clientele. These people bend over backwards to make everything right and I have to give them a lot of credit.

They take suggestions and go out of their way to make us happy. They have been open such a short time and have such a huge menu it amazes me that the waitresses and counter people are as together as they are. This is the BEST breakfast and lunch place in Palm Coast! I wish them well!
