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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“My FAVE bagel place, the team are lovely, the bagels are soooo fresh & delcious, the fillings are incredible. Super dog friendly too which is very nice. I wish I could transport this place to the UK. Tofu scallion & vegwitch on everything bagels, every damn time 🥯🤤“

“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!“

“This was my first time ordering from this store, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations. The cheese quesadilla, bagel with cream cheese, and muffin were all incredibly delicious. However, there was a minor mistake in my order, and the store associate promptly corrected it. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“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“

“Nana’s Deli has recently rebranded as the first and only sourdough bagel shop in Jersey City. They use sourdough starter from my favorite neighborhood bakery, Sourdough Society.

Each bagel is made fresh daily. Their sourdough bagels have a light crisp on the outside and a soft, pillowy center. They’re chewy without being tough, so they won’t break your jaw.

I’ve been picking up sourdough loaves regularly from Sourdough Society, located right inside Nana’s Bagel. Truly some of my favorite sourdough around!

＊Nova Lox Bagel $13.95
My favorite! I love an open-faced bagel, and the sourdough base made it even better. The lox was perfectly savory, layered over a generous swipe of scallion cream cheese with red onion and capers. Truly a chef's kiss.

＊Pastrami Egg and Cheese $13.95
I’ve always loved Nana’s hot pastrami sandwich, and this sourdough bagel version was just as good. The pastrami was smoky, tender, and juicy. As a carnivore, I just wished there were a few more pastrami slices.“

“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!“

“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!"“

“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!“

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

“They were able to accommodate a very large custom order on short notice, and they were incredibly kind about it! Upon picking it up, they helped carry out everything to my car, which was unexpected and very appreciated. On top of the great service, the bagels were fantastic.“

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

“Absolutely amazing experience at Yummy Bagel & Deli! I ordered their stuffed bagel and it was seriously next level. A plain bagel loaded with cream cheese inside, then topped with melted cheese and garlic butter. So simple but SO good. What really made the visit stand out was the service. The owner came by to greet us personally, which was such a nice touch, and even let us try their coconut pound cake. They also have a parking lot, which makes it super convenient. Overall, the place has a really welcoming vibe, great food, and excellent customer service. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“We couldn't be happier that this place is in our town! All their stuff is always great. Their bagels are tops in the area, hands down. Service is always awesome and super friendly staff that doesn't make errors with your orders!!!“

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.“

“this place is absolutely money! all the people working here are awesome and incredibly efficient. no matter how crowded it is i never have to wait longer than 5 minutes for my order. i make it a point to come in at least once a week for my sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel. they have a great selection of grab and go food and drinks as well. i seriously cannot recommend this place enough! stop in and grab a bite. you won’t be disappointed!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing food and service.“

“I had a delicious bacon, egg and cheese with some coffee. Recommended by a friend, and it was exactly what I wanted. A small Mom and Pop deli. I picked up some almond cookies, for later, because I couldn't resist them! Try Florence's for yourself. You won't be disappointed.“

“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.
