Bagels Restaurants near Clifton, NJ

“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!“

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

“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 was my first time visiting this location after living in Clifton since 1999. I always go to “Hot Bagels Abroad” for my breakfast sandwiches but decided today to try another location…..and I’m glad I did. Customer service was A1 (top tier) . The woman who assisted was very welcoming and friendly. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a whole wheat bagel. My bagel was warm, eggs at a perfect temperature and cheese ratio was perfect. I enjoyed my bagel and will definitely be making another trip back soon.“

“The team here work very hard and take amass amount of orders during the morning rush. You may have to make multiple calls in order to put in an order on the phone. Lines are usually at the door and that’s because they do AJ amazing job with making their food. I’ve had their chicken sandwiches and breakfast menu items. Great establishment altogether.

One thing to note, although they say they do not make their bagels with eggs or dairy, I gave my son a plain bagel (who is allergic to eggs and dairy) and he got a really bad rash reaction. So I’d imagine there is plenty of cross contamination happening there of some sort when handling the food.

Great place to get food from!“

“I love a small local shop like this and I loved my bagel! I think the negative reviews are a bunch of petty comments from people who don’t appreciate good food. This place is not fancy, but the staff was super friendly & the food was quality! I wish I had a spot like this where I live.“

“I tried the Raisin bagel with the walnut-raisin cream cheese...it was delicious! I would definitely go back!“

“Turkey , egg and , cheese on an everything bagel. Best spot around !“

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

“Absolutely love the sunny and bright atmosphere of this place, all of the workers are super helpful and friendly. The food is amazing too, the muffins are INCREDIBLE. The owners are also super nice! They might just be friends with the whole town!“

“I always get great service in this place. The food is fantastic (especially for the price). Their salads are made fresh on the spot... they cut everything fresh as they need em... they don't store the lettuce pre cut in tubs like most restaurants do. This is just an example of what sets Ben's apart from most places. Now, yes, I know they pride themselves for their bagels, but truth be told, I don't eat bagels... but my wife LOVES their bagels. -Boots“

“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!“

“It always a pleasure visiting JV Hot Bagels. The menu are impressive, with a variety of mouth-watering options that are bursting with flavor. The service is impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who make my wife and I feel like VIPs. The owner even remembers are names.To top it off, we were surprised with complimentary meals from time to time. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable experience. You won't be disappointed!"“

“Tried this spot today for the first time
I ordered three sandwiches
Turkey, bacon, egg & cheese on a plain bagel: classic

Garlic bagel with pastrami, egg & cheese. They don’t skimp on the pastrami

Turkey sausage, egg & cheese on a croissant.

I found the bagels to be soft enough for my kid which was a big deal for him.

Ordered two iced macchiatos without the sugar which was really good

The lady at the register was sweet and welcoming.

It got busy and they handled it really well, it wasn’t a mad house like some places get.“

“I loooooove B Bagel! The brothers who own it are so nice and I'm really happy to support their business. My husband and I usually go on Sunday and there is something about waiting in the line that's oddly enjoyable... not to mention the food is totally worth the wait! I have been getting the Levant on a Sesame or Everything Bagel and it hits the spot for me. My husband always gets the Big B without cheese and has decided it's his favorite meal in Jersey City and favorite breakfast of all time. The bagels and bagel sandwiches are all awesome, the inside of the shop is busy and friendly, couldn't recommend it more!

What's absolutely underrated here are the pastries. I got a sprinkle cookie today which was literally life changing and I will be getting it every week from now on.“

“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.“

“Bagel House always delivers excellent service and delicious food! The team is friendly, efficient, and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Their bagels are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made — whether it’s breakfast or lunch, you can always count on a great meal. It’s a go-to spot we truly enjoy and highly recommend!“

“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“

“Great place to stop ! Large variety of bagels, Plus a lot more then just bagels! Always a friendly face to serve you too !“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Excelente los desayunos..“

“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've lived within many areas in the NYC greater area over the years. As you can imagine I've had many bagels along the way. I'm happy to have found this bagel spot. They are some of the best bagels you can find on both sides of the Hudson River! Truly amazing bagels!!! We bring them everywhere we go when we vacation with the families and they are always a big hit and topic of conversation.“

“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.....“

“I live in the area and attend college out of town so getting to the library on my off days is tough. I've been looking for a place with a chill ambiance, wifi, good tea, and coffee. Well, look no more for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Great rustic look, comfy seating with back support, loads of outlets for laptops, and the second-floor space are super cute and cozy too. Oh and there's a small little outside area that's pretty cool as well. Shaquille (hope I spelled it right) was AMAZING! So down-to-earth, friendly, polite, and easy to talk to. She made me the Tumeric latte for me and I all but licked the cup clean. I had the hummus & cucumber on sourdough toast and it was divine. Also, a great option for vegans. I totally recommend this place if you have similar needs or just want to hang out with some friends. I will surely be going back.“

“Some of the best hand rolled bagels in NJ. Great crisp crust and wonderfully chewy textured inside. For those that are complaining they do not have a griddle, I believe they have a Kosher certification which means no meat can be served here since they use cream cheese (dairy). This was our go to bagel place when we lived in Fair Lawn, now we live in SC, and we come here to stock up on bagels to take south on every visit to NJ.“

“This place is a hidden gem. They have hearty portions and everything it just delicious. It’s small and quaint little shop but it feels just like visiting family. The owner and the staff are always so warm and welcoming. They’re just genuine heartfelt people. The bagels are perfect, and the food always hits the spot. Love their breakfast sandwiches. I’ve been there a few times and I’ll definitely be back again.“

“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!“

“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.“

“the best food ever in the town toasted bagels ××××ד

“I found this gem of a spot when visiting family in NJ. This has to be the best I’ve had since becoming celiac 6 years ago. The bakery items are to die for and the bagel breakfast sandwiches are the best ever. I got to stop in this past weekend and got a few goodies to bring home. If you are gluten free and in the are do not pass this place up.“

“I love their bacon egg sandwich on their onion bagel!! always fresh and taste great!!!!“

“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.“

“✅Excellent catering services ✅Delicious wraps ✅Bacon, egg & cheese on a 🥯 or yummy croissant 🥐 simple perfection“

“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!“

“This is awesome has a great menu food in delicious 😋 service is fantastic as well“

“It's great place with great people I love the food, fresh and never disappointed“

“Amazing spot! The man who served me was beyond cool, polite and just a 10/10 kind of guy. Best service!

I ordered some sausage, egg and cheese’s on everything bagels and they were perfect, exactly what I needed to start my morning.

I forgot to ask for the name of the man that served us, but I know he has great tastes in music.“

“I don't even know a very good breakfast restaurant in Manhattan as good as this one. There are always 3 mammacitas, who know how to prepare your breakfast, brunch or lunch. The 3-omelettes platters with their varieties give you evergy and a smile throughout the whole day!“

“A real bagel. Case closed.“

“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.“
