I have been coming here for 28 years, these guys are the best!! This is a spicy deluxe sub Swiss on a sesame bagel. It’s a must try!

I was not satisfied with the sandwich I purchased. It came with no cream cheese or any other dressing. I got the jalapeno bagel and it did not really taste much like jalapeno (considering to Einstein Bros' jalapeno bagel). I couldn't believe that there was no cream cheese or at least Mayo on my sandwich. And the egg seemed to be the microwave kind. If I ever go back, I'll just other a bagel with cream cheese. It's a very small place and seating is limited and crowded as well as people forming a line in the only passage way there is and then having to wait either outside or in a small crowded corner. Your food will be called and left in the counter for you to just walk up and pick up as the employees are busy getting orders out. I went on a weekday morning and there was a moderate line that does move fast though. It's located in a bit shopping plaza but parking near the place can be limited since it's a busy place.

My husband and I have been to this bagel spot three times now, and every visit is just as good as the first. East Coast Bagel consistently delivers some of the best bagels I’ve ever had perfectly chewy on the outside, soft on the inside, and always fresh.
I’ve tried a couple of their bagel sandwiches, and the Turkey Melt is hands-down my favorite. I crave it constantly it’s melty, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I also tried another turkey sandwich (can’t remember the name) that was just as delicious. Even their plain bagel with butter is next level soft, warm, and honestly better than any I’ve had in New York! Pair it with their fresh squeezed orange juice, and you’ve got the perfect breakfast combo.
The moment you walk in, you’re greeted with that amazing fresh-baked bagel aroma, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. I also love that you can customize your sandwich with any bagel you like it makes every visit a little different.
This place has officially become my go-to breakfast spot. Great food, great service, and that warm neighborhood feel I’ll definitely keep coming back!

Lox and cream cheese bagel is pretty good.
The egg, cheese and bacon bagel was just ok.

The scored garlic bagel toasted with cream cheese on it is INCREDIBLE.

I ate the Super Cinamon Bagel. That’s good but less cinnamon than I expected because “super cinnamon”. Is this mean high quality cinnamon? At least, that bagel is high quality.
There are many kinds of bagels. I like others for example chocolate chip and egg.

Food is good. Everything is fine. Pricing is getting a little bit expensive.

Used to be a go to place for lox, spoiled by flood of customers. Food quality is consistent but the staff's attitude is getting through the roof. Still a great pick for customers looking for a quick bite with a slap on the face early in the day. In this shop, the customer is always wrong.

I decided to stop by after seeing the long line (it took about 15 minutes), and it turned out to be the best bagels you can find in the area. I buy a bunch every week, freeze them, and toast one every morning, they make me so happy. The pizza bagel is a must-try, and the one topped with minced garlic becomes absolutely perfect in color and flavor when you reheat it in the oven at home. Definitely give it a try!

Please do NOT think this is a good representation of bagels from the East Coast. I’m from NJ and used to work in NYC, so I wanted to check this place out…never getting it again. The bagels were mushy and had a bad taste, this place is definitely overhyped.
