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!“

“I mean seriously, some of the people in these reviews go out of their way to hurt local businesses over such petty stuff. I wonder if you treat your own family that way when a meal is cooked for you at home. If you’re looking for the best bagels in Clifton, this is the spot, especially in the mornings when the bagels are super fresh. My whole family loves the strawberry cream cheese, it’s sweet but so good.“

“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!“

“The best bagels I’ve had in Jersey City. I think that means it has to be at least a top ten bagel shop in the country. Perfect bagels. Great cream cheese’s and sandwiches. I’ve loved everything I’ve ever ordered.

My only warning is that once you start going, you’ll never be able to stop (I’m walking there as I type this).“

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

“We come here almost every Sunday, and every visit is a great experience. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The bagels are absolutely amazing—honestly, some of the best bagels I have ever had. The prices are very reasonable, and the quality is consistently excellent.

From the owner to every member of the staff, everyone goes out of their way to make customers feel appreciated. We are truly grateful to have a place like this in our community. It has become a family tradition for us, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended!“

“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.

“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.....“

“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“

“Love this spot! They make everything in house. Their sourdough bagels are killer; packed with great flavor and the perfect texture. The staff is so sweet- shoutout to Jason who was so kind and proud of the menu :) can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best bagel spot I have tried in Bergen County! So many unique and delicious bagel options to choose from and the service was excellent. The nice woman who took my order was really knowledgeable and had good recommendations. The owner is very kind and attentive. I will be making this bagel shop my go to spot!“

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

“Some of the highest quality bagels I’ve ever had. Over just a few weeks of knowing about this place, it’s become one of my family’s favorites. We will call each other to ask if anyone wants anything, and it’s always an immediate and excited “yes!” It’s a 20 to 25 minute drive from me, but it’s worth it every time.“

“I stopped into Knead a Bagel this morning and had to leave a review because it was honestly one of the best breakfast experiences I’ve had in a long time.

Rima offered to make me a special lox bagel, and wow was it good. I’ve had a lot of lox bagels, but this was genuinely the best one I’ve ever had. Everything was perfectly balanced.. the right amount of lox, cream cheese, and toppings. Nothing was overwhelming and nothing was lacking. Every bite was perfect.

What really stood out, though, was Rima herself. She was so sweet, friendly, and welcoming. You can tell she cares about the food she’s making and the people she’s serving. She completely made my morning and turned a quick breakfast stop into something memorable.

Great food is one thing, but great food made by genuinely kind people is what keeps you coming back. Thank you, Rima, for the amazing bagel and for starting my day off on such a good note. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Unbelievable customer service!! Highly recommend just for that… plus the bagels are the best!!!“

“Do you have cinnamon raisin bagels?“

“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.“

“Zeid and his team were great. Everything was made fresh and quick. The store is very clean. The egg bagel with cream cheese was perfect and the right amount of CC. I got a SBEC and it was delicious full of flavor. The portion def filled me up. The daisy muffins were ok. They were a little too greasy to my liking. But all in all would def come back“

“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.“

“A real bagel. Case closed.“

“Amazing food and service.“

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

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

“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.“
