Bagels Restaurants near Caldwell, NJ

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

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

“If you’re in the Montville/Boonton area, you’ve got to check out Howards mediterranean Café and Bagels — absolutely top-notch! Not only is the food legit, but the owner Karim went above and beyond to support us during our soft opening at Montville Pickleball & Golf Club. Much love to him for the hookup“

“This was my first time going to this establishment and I am glad I did. The staff was great. The heart felt kindness and professionalism was outstanding. The food was also amazing. It’s hard to find a gem of establishment like this. Definitely my new bagel spot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I stopped in on a whim because I was in the neighborhood. I got 4 bagels for the family and the veggie cream cheese. Fresh, excellent top-tier bagels! Black Russian and Egg! Plain! All delicious. We're all lucky in NJ that most bagels we can get are at least okay, but these were a cut above! And the cream cheese was delicious and fresh - vegetables still had a little crunch!

Also, I appreciate that they discourage people coming in and just buying up all the bagels. In the 5 minutes I was in there, lots of people popped in, clearly regulars, for their breakfast. It definitely felt like a go-to place in the community and they make sure they can be open to serve as many as possible. That's cool. I look forward to returning!“

“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!“

“Mark and his team at House of Bagels are top notch. They go above and beyond for their customers to ensure that their experience is memorable. From the staff to the bagels and full menu, I recommend all to try their selections. You will not regret and will be coming back for more.“

“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!“

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

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

“Good customer service. Good food quality.“

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

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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Best gluten free bagel I’ve ever had. Not the dry, pre-made kind that most bagel places serve. Nick was very pleasant and helpful. Atmosphere was perfect for me and my daughter to sit and enjoy breakfast. They even have a small play area for kids. Will be back.“

“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 lil shop has INCREDIBLE bagels. Chewy, fluffy, wonderful flavor. Good service members too. The shop is small; but it is mighty. Truly a gem, and highly recommend. The bagel sandwich was also really good, it wasn’t too heavy, a great ratio of food to bagel combo. I can’t wait to come back and buy like every bagel in the shop.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“We love Kettlemans and eat here a few times a week most weeks. There does seem to be a consistent issue with not getting online orders fully correct. More times than not, we are missing the cheese on our egg and cheese sandwiches or get an everything bagel when we order plain. The first few times we let it slide, but it’s clearly a consistent issue at this point. Not going to stop us from ordering here, but would be nice if this could be fixed.“

“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!“

“A while back, I started what seemed to be a bagel war on Facebook about another bagel shop in town 😂😂😂 Well, a lot of people in the comments told me to try International Hot Bagels… and yeah, they were right!
The bagels are so much better… fresh, hot and delicious! The service was great, the food was great, and the prices were actually reasonable (which is rare these days). I’ve ordered a couple of times now & I’ve been highly satisfied.
10/10 recommend! Go give them a try.
Pro tip: they only accept cash or Zelle…
This spot earned the hype 👏🥯“

“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.“

“Its rare that you find an establishment that absolutely kills it in service quality and food quality. I've ordered online here a number of times--usually during Mother's Day, birthday, and New Years day. The bagels were good especially the asiago flavor. The smoothie chillers are top notch. Same goes with the fruit platter, presented in a color block that screams detail. Unlike some grocery grade platters, the fruit seems ripe and sweet. Their specialty cream cheeses are good just a notch below Philadelphia's lmaooo. The manager and staff were very pleasant and Im glad I braved the snow to visit the shop New Years day.“

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

“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!“

“Great spot! Awesome food!“

“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!“

“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 😍“

“The best bagels and customer service around!“

“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.“

“I have been to Java Nut a few times and each time I feel like I am going into my friend's Kitchen to ask for something to eat. I order my food and its made fresh. The food is scrumptious, the service is professional but very friendly. What is the only negative... there is no couch to sit on... LOL“

“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!“

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