Great bagels, atmosphere and people. Bagels are delicious with generous cream cheese and toppings.

The Bagel Cafe food is so hard to choose from, but the service there is great. Theresa is the best, very personable, and engaged in conversation the way you want your food, and gives a personal interest to how your day is. First-time time I met her, she made me smile, and I enjoyed her conversations. Highly recommend The Sneek the Neek (Taylor ham, egg, cheese and potatoes) yessss!

Love this place, the vodka sauce is delicious and the chicken soup recipe hasn't changed in 30 years. I know this because when my mother was pregnant with me 30 years ago, all she wanted was soup from Buon Appétito, and bryers strawberry ice cream. I was made with this soup. I have been eating the food from here for my entire life. Every time I got a cold, when I got my tonsils out, and when I need a bit of soul healing this chicken soup does it all. Add a teaspoon of Parmesan cheese before you serve it and it'll change your life.

I had a turkey sandwich recently but didn't like it. It looked good but had an odd taste. I think the turkey was flavored which they didn't tell me about and it was low quality and gelatinous. Not that much mozzarella either and the bread tasted stale. Around $12 for a small.

AMAZING! best bagel I had in my trip to NJ. Bagel and Lox was great! Great coffee as well! Staff was extremely friendly as well. Will be back if I'm in NJ again!

Purchased a ham and salami sandwich with fresh mozzarella and was very disappointed in the end product. Two thinly sliced pieces of mozzarella loads of ham, and barely any salami. The ham is too salty, seems like they're using a different brand. This place was better with the old owners. Will never go back again. Not worth the money at all. Also: tried to call them to share my feedback and they put me on hold and then hung up.

One of those neighborhood spots that you just have to know. Fantastic drinks and on weeknights they have an amazing buffet for dinner, so you know I had to try it out!I had the caramel apple martini which was so delicious and a full buffet from pasta salad to meatballs to eggplant rollintini, You definitely get your moneys worth with this all you can eat buffet! The food is incredible I especially love the penne vodka, and for dessert I had the ricotta cheesecake with a spiked hot chocolate oh my god so delicious if you're in the Bayonne area please stop by!
Came here on a busy afternoon. Place is kind of small since there was a party going on. I ordered pizza, penne vodka, and a side of meat ball with marina sauce.The pizza was delicious and I loved how they gave us a fresh side of Parmesan cheese. It will be a good size to share for 2-3 people.The penne vodka pasta was my favorite. The flavor is so rich and creamy. Every bite I took it was just so delicious. I absolutely loved the penne vodka pasta.The meat balls with marina sauce was also really good, but my only problem is. Is that when I bite into the meatballs it was warm/ cold. I would prefer if it was hotter. Overall, nice place for a quick lunch/ dinner. Great food. Will come back. Employees are nice and came to check up on me frequently.

The food here is completely inconsistent and all over the place. One visit and the pizza was very nice and well made, another time the pizza was completely inedible and some of the worst I've ever seen anywhere. It was made by someone who had no idea of how to make pizza. Sometimes the heros are great with lots of meat and nice bread (for New Jersey that is) and another time the Italian bread is tasteless, horrible quality and the hero was tiny with very little on it. It's been a total roll of the dice when eating here lately.I have had very nice omelets here that were well made along with excellent home fries and others that have been completely poorly made to the point of not even looking anything like an omelet! Paper thin, flat, dead and tasteless. On my most recent visit this past Saturday, the home fries were raw, sitting in a puddle of liquid grease on the plate and tasteless. The people who own this place should really get their shit together because they are completely unprofessional in their ability to manage a restaurant. Their so-called cooks apparently have no idea what they are doing. I hate to be this critical toward a place I have enjoyed over the years but I have experienced all of these absolutely ridiculous and completely avoidable problems at Buon Appetito over the last year or so.

Nestled inside Buon Appetito you will find a small bagel shop with friendly staff and fresh made bagels. Do yourself a favor and try the french toast bagel.
