When husband-and-wife team Darryn and Amy Weinstein first moved to Shelter Island back in 2015, they were thrilled with their new East End digs, but there was a slight hole. Originally hailing from the Lower East Side of Manhattan, Darryn says he had a bagel every morning, a food item that proved hard to come by on his new-found island home.

For two years now, the Weinstein’s have helmed their bagel and baked good hub, Eccentric Bagel (25 West Neck Road, Shelter Island, 631-749-5363) providing East Enders with a bevy of the round breakfast beauts, some eccentric, some not so much.
