Bagels Restaurants near Caldwell, NJ

“Pleasant people! Glad to have you in town.“

“Food was very good, and the service and also great“

“Carlos has been making bagels for years! Glad to see him start his own business!“

“This place is everything you hope for in a hometown bagel shop: great food and genuinely warm service. Joe, the owner, is there every day and somehow knows everyone by name—it really feels like a community staple. When we first moved to the area, I made it a point to try every bagel shop nearby, and these are hands down the best. The bagels are consistently excellent, the breakfast sandwiches are fantastic, and there are plenty of solid lunch options too. My personal favorite is the Nova cream cheese sandwich. It’s become a family tradition for us to come every Saturday morning for fresh bagels, and they even freeze well for weekday breakfasts (which is surprisingly hard to find). Can’t recommend this place enough“

“Wayne Hot Bagels supplied breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week and did a fabulous job! They were friendly, courteous, patient and worked with me to find items that fit within the budget. They even personally delivered for us free of charge. They truly were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely use them again for future events!“

“The Food is Great Always Freshly Prepared. Good Coffee. There is a Good Selection of Food on the Menu. Excellent Pancakes/ Omelettes. Salads /Sandwiches are Good also. Fresh Fruit Salads n Fresh Squeezed All Natural Juices and Smoothies.“

“There are tons of bagel places in NJ, but we always find ourselves comparing to House of Bagels. Definitely our favorite bagels - they’re so soft and fluffy on the inside, great crust with plenty of seasoning (our whole family loves everything bagel). What really seals the deal for us is that the bagels freeze and reheat beautifully. They taste almost as good as new. Our kids have them almost every morning 😂 We’ve moved quite far away but always stock up on our favorite bagels whenever we have a reason to be back in the area.“

“Never had a bad experience there, People friendly. They take care to remember what you order and how you liked it. I think they know probably 90% of the names of their daily customers. Like i said people friendly. It's time to add your name to the list.

Parking: Available all the time

Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for kids“

“Absolutely the best bagel there is. Each one no matter the flavor is a delight. And their food that they put on the bagel is delicious. Get there before 3;30 PM if you want sliced cheese because they close the slicer at 3;30. I know if I get there at 3;32 PM the slicer is off. So I get tuna fish instead and it’s about as good as it gets. The staff is friendly and do a good job. What a place!“

“Found my new bagel store. Used to go to Modern but the place went so far downhill (they use a Panini Press to toast a bagel, yuk), then I saw River Rd Bagels. Wow, what a world of difference. Better prices, much better food and a great team! Definitely my new bagel store! Thank you!!!!!!!“

“Hands downbeat! Best friggen Bagel Spot on the planet. Bang for the buck. Deliciousness done right!“

“Absolutely THE BEST bagels on Earth! A staple of the community, generous and giving, family-run business. One of those places where “everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came.” Every Monday!“

“I’m I’m absolute awe!! This was my first time in this establishment and the faculty are super friendly and educated on the gluten free diet (they keep their GF bagels in a separate section) The gluten free bagels here are to die for. I’m talking the perfect outside and a literal fluffy inside that you can’t find in the stores. Will for sure be coming back!“

“Took a dozen back with us on the plane to Florida. Best bagels I have had in at least 10 years!“

“Best bagel shop this side of Route 3!From excellent CONSISTENT quality of food, a great selection, and the best staff any customer could wish for, this place is truly a hidden gem.Easy parking in the front and back, and always there to answer for a quick pick up order; great with catering too! This place has won my family and friends over for good.Thank you Bagel Plus & Cafe! See you soon again!Cheers!-Best Regards: Karim G. Daif“

“I don’t have enough good things to say about this business. I called 5 Brothers from Wisconsin (not knowing anything about delis or restaurants in Lincoln Park, New Jersey—just going by google search) to order a couple trays of food for a memorial service in Lincoln Park which I could not attend. I am so happy my Google search led me to such a professional and helpful business. The two brothers I worked with listened to my situation and understood what I was hoping to provide food-wise, and then they suggested a mixed tray of baked goods and desserts that were perfect. They even sent me photos and a video of the finished trays of goodies after they put them together. And then they delivered. Amazing. Top-notch customer service. I highly recommend this company for food delivery and catering. Good, good people.“

“Good customer service. Good food quality.“

“Everything was super fresh and so delicious! Bagels r too good. I love supporting local businesses so I’ll be sure to go there again.

Parking: First 15 min of parking is free on the street but plenty parking in the back! If u r just picking up then no need to pay.“

“A MUST STOP every time I come back to NJ to visit my Mom!“

“Sonny’s Bagels in South Orange makes exceptional bagels and has the best smoked fish in NJ!!!“

“Varon is one of my favorite employees. Yesterday he made me some guacamole he was sooooooooooooooooo patient with me lol. Thank you Varon for being so great to meeeeeeeeeeeee.....“

“This place is so damn good! A couple of days ago I got, Fresco’s Bagels, for breakfast. It was fantastic. I had ordered their Garlic Bagel Toasted w/ Cream Cheese. I’ve honestly never had a bagel that good before. The exterior was crunchy and crispy, while the interior was airy and fluffy. Absolutely amazing. The cream cheese was an awesome compliment too. The lady who took my order was nice and attentive. Made sure my order was correct and had a wonderful personality. And the fact that I was in and out in less than 10 minutes was a major plus. I was in a rush, and famished. I would usually order two bagels (typically with bacon TML 😉), and man was I PO’d I did not get another one. I’D HIGHLY RECOMMEND, Fresco’s Bagels, to anyone in the, Pequannock Township area, and looking for an excellent breakfast!“

“Listen they got the food down packed! But the service needs improvements and the quality of requests needs to be honored more efficiently! The truth is a hard working man doesn't want to come in more then once and have issues with their sandwich and have to wait much longer too get a new one. Nobody likes that in 2025. But overall the cooks are hard working people and make sure the food is great! They deserve 5 stars or more and more too come. I believe this place has potential too improve so there isn't enough stars here to show what's really going on in this place. Atmosphere they dont have inside seats its kind of grab and go. And outside is a squeeze.“

“Livingston Bagel catered a lunch on Thursday for 20 people for my Mom #BerniceSturtz 90th Birthday! We had their man Abe as Mr. Everything- chef, set up and clean up. He was professional and charming. A gem. Ask for him by name! He was a two-fisted omelette maker. They were delicious! And appropriately priced. As always-perfect bagels and salads and made to order omelets. Thank you LB and Abe. Judy Sturtz Karp and Bonnie Romberg“

“Review for King Gyro - halal, Little Falls, NJ
If you’re craving bold flavor and late-night satisfaction, King Gyro - halal is a must-visit gem in Little Falls. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with genuine warmth and friendly service that makes the experience feel personal and welcoming.

The lamb platter is a standout tender, perfectly spiced, and generously portioned. Pair it with their creamy white sauce and fragrant rice, and you’ve got a meal that punches way above its price point. The chicken tikka platter is equally impressive, with juicy, marinated chunks of chicken that deliver smoky depth and vibrant flavor in every bite. Both dishes offer incredible value without compromising on quality.

🕑 And the best part? They’re open until 2am, making it the perfect spot for a late-night bite that doesn’t feel like a compromise. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, King Gyro delivers on taste, service, and affordability. Highly recommended for anyone who loves halal comfort food done right.“

“Great Friendly Staff & Owner The Is Always Smiling And Pleasant. The Bagels Are Always Made Fresh Daily And If You Get There Early Hot. The Breakfast Sandwiches Are Always Great On A Bagel, Roll or Crossant. The Coffee Is Always Fresh. Keep Up The Great Work!!!“

“So after being in New Jersey and going to about 8 bagel shops, I guess this is the one. So... I pull up and the first thing you will notice, parking is an issue. Luckily, people are coming and going so it took around 5 minutes to attain a parking spot. From the look of things, there may have been a parking lot in front of thee establishment before but it would seem that they decided to fill the parking lot with outdoor seating. From speaking to a patron, I understand because he told me that he always walks to the place. So on a nice day, I suppose the outdoor seating is great. You go inside and it's a small space and they have a few tables and chairs inside as well.

Inside and I'm in a line. Probably about 8 people ahead of me. I'm already thinking that these bagels must be damn good. Took about 10 minutes until I put my order in. In total I spent about 25 minutes at this spot. As I'm leaving, there are more people in line than when I got there. Just from seeing the bagels, they look soft and fresh. Just happy to have found the place. I get home and the bagels are just as good as they look. This clean bagel shop comes highly recommended and will be back! Great job guys!“

“Great customer service, everyone is very friendly!“

“Great spot! Awesome food!“

“The PRICE is right! Had a whole wheat bagel which was toasted perfectly. Very nice people. Agreed with needing to upgrade but clean nonetheless. Goes to show you don't have to overprice food. Biggest takeaway... they changed gloves with every order.. loved “

“I'm so grateful that the original owners are back. I take the train to NY weekly, and get my morning breakfast and sometimes my lunch. Coffee is fresh, many choices for bagels and the fillings. The sandwiches are amazing. More so by the newest worker AJ. His sandwiches are the best and almost looks too good to eat. I was not happy with the previous owner, but I'm glad once again. Thank you Marty, Diana and AJ.“

“I just moved to Jersey and saw Bagels by Jarrett on the news and decided to give it a try. My life has changed. It is my order at the end of a hard day. My comfort food. Don’t be fooled by the diverse menu because everything on it is a HIT! I may or may not have shed a tear when the delivery guy got here.“

“Love this place! Such a nice, cozy vibe. I usually come here after training at the ice rink across the street and always grab my favorite almond milk latte. I really appreciate that they use high-quality milk — it tastes great and keeps the drink low-calorie, which helps me stay in shape. Haha, athlete problems!

They also have super tasty pastries, granola, and other desserts. A bit more indulgent, but hey — that just means I’ll need to train a little harder. Totally worth it!

The service is awesome. The staff is super friendly, attentive, and everything’s always clean. Even the bananas are perfectly arranged — seriously, check out the video I’m attaching! 😂

Highly recommend this spot. Thank you, Manhattan Bagel!“

“Amazing bagels, breakfast, sandwiches and service! Highly recommended!!!😀“

“Bagel Cafe NJ just catered breakfast and lunch for my daughter's bridal party, wedding day preparations. Food was fresh and delicious, delivered on time, and they were super easy to work with. Highest recommendation 😍“

“Great breakfast bagels, flagels, bialys, and more! Every morning made fresh, savory, and delicious. Food is consistent. Customer service is on point. A family run shop. They treat you with love and respect. Like you’re walking into grandma’s kitchen. Great sense of humor. Best part (besides the great food) is that if you call like 10 min ahead, they’ll have it ready for you when you come in. No wait time! As a Montville resident, I will always be back!“

“Best egg sandwiches around. I just ordered my sandwich this morning again 8/10 and the price went up from 2 weeks ago. Last time i went it was $6.95 which is higher then other places but now too much for me with new price. Charged $8.50. I will not be going anymore but was my favorite“

“This is one of my favorite food places. The bakery goods are fantastic. Bagels are made on premises and if you get lucky, you can get them fresh out of the oven.

Though not high end dining, this restaurant checks the boxes. Food is excellent. Staff is friendly and helpful. It is not fair to rate the atmosphere on the same plane as the other two. It’s not fancy but quite functional. Especially since it’s usually utilized as a take out place. Most of the time, I’m passing through. I phone in my order and pick it up shortly after. BTW, the tuna and chicken salads are to die for. Maybe the best I’ve ever had. The egg salad is no slouch either.“

“fresh bagels and sandwiches. friendly workers. the best ♥️“

“Great sándwiches and good coffee. Everything has great taste. Love it!“

“Excellent.. Axel, Arelean Nicole all the waiters, waitresses, cooks, incredible staff.. it's like Cheers.. great friendly place great food.. great way to start the day.“

“The best bagels and customer service around!“

“I happened to be in the area looking for a quick coffee stop and bagel would be nice. Located in a trip mall.
Handicapped parking in front.
I ordered a plain bagel with butter and coffee. Coffee is self serve.
When you bite into it, it’s chewy and doughy . Don’t expect a NY style bagel.
It’s not crunchy on the outside. When you bite into it, it compresses down into nothing.
The butter is a cross between unsalted and salted.
I chose to make myself a French vanillas coffee. Nothing special about.
It did the job for moment.
Would I go outta of my way to buy from here ? No. Maybe a different bagel choice or sandwich. Idk. If I’m in the area , maybe. This is just my opinion. Try it for yourself. There are tables and chairs inside to sit down. A TV“

“It was my first time here and I needed half a dozen bagels. The service was exceptional and they had seating if you wanted a sit down meal. The bagels itself were made with love ! Super soft and really delicious. I love a good small owned business and we will be back often. Thank you so much!“

“Been going there since Middle School. I love the food and the portions they have it is a good price for a portion and the staff there are lovely people.

Dietary restrictions: I have some dietary restrictions such as no cheese or no tomatoes and I know how weird tomatoes are to have as a dietary restriction but they accommodate and or at least tell you what to avoid eating.

Parking: Parking spots I think there is 2 infant of the location 3 across the lot and below the street on the side where the location is there is probably 4

Kid-friendliness: It has a table to keep the kids calm as well as these coin machines and I've seen once where they helped a lady who had a baby stroller sit and help her with a chair as well put the baby stroller away so it wouldn't disturb the other customers.“

“Great breakfast! Had the pork roll egg and cheese“

“This place is awesome, been coming here since I was a kid. The woman who works the front is soooo sweet and the bagel are always fresh!! But MAINLY THE GIRL IN THE FRONT, super friendly and inviting and work quick and always smiling!! Shes awesome!“

“This is an amazing place it has nice atmosphere and nice surroundings also service is super friendly and nice also the bagels are hot and crispy and they are done just right they have multiple options of bagels and crème cheese they do turkey sandwich’s egg chicken and many more I definitely love this place and will be back definitely recommend.“
