\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A familiar spot on Hempstead Avenue just got a fresh start. Bagel Town, a longtime neighborhood staple in West Hempstead, has officially reopened under new ownership as Bagels N Appz, bringing a refurbished space, an expanded menu, and a kosher certification upgrade to the area.<\/p>\n

The new owners also run Main Street Bagels in Queens, so they\u2019re not figuring things out from scratch. They\u2019re bringing an established operation and a broader, more modern menu concept to the West Hempstead location, with plans to continue building it out as the soft opening phase progresses.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s New on the Menu<\/p>\n

The rebrand is more than cosmetic. Bagels N Appz is expanding well beyond the traditional bagel shop model, with a menu that mirrors much of what Main Street Bagels offers in Queens. That means classic bagels and house-made spreads alongside newer additions like guacamole on bagels, an expanded tuna selection, and a growing pastry lineup that includes borekas, chocolate croissants, cheese croissants, and cheese danishes.<\/p>\n

Pasta dishes are also in the mix, which signals a shift toward more of a cafe-style operation. The menu is expected to keep evolving as the store settles into its full footing post-Passover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sesame-Free and Nut-Free<\/p>\n

Bagels N Appz is operating as a sesame-free and nut-free establishment, continuing a key feature from the Bagel Town days. For customers managing common food allergies, this remains an important distinction and makes the spot genuinely accessible to a wider range of people.<\/p>\n

Delivery Coming After Passover<\/p>\n

The store is currently takeout and in-store only, but third-party delivery through Uber Eats and Grubhub is in the works and expected to launch after Passover. Hours are currently 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with an extension to 5:00 PM planned in the near future.<\/p>\n

The store will be closed for Pesach, so check back after the holiday for the full operation.<\/p>\n

Bagels N Appz is located at 488 Hempstead Avenue, West Hempstead, NY 11552. Hours: Sunday\u2013Friday, 9:00 AM\u20134:00 PM (closing time expanding to 5:00 PM soon). Kosher certification: VHQ (Cholov Yisroel, Pas Yisroel, Kemach Yoshon). Phone: 516-505-5556.<\/p>\n
