It all started with the purchase of a dozen mixed bagels, a container of strawberry cream cheese, and a sample of blueberry cream cheese spread. OMG, there was just the right amount of chewiness that screamed freshly made and not doughy like those made from pre-packaged frozen dough. It has been decades since I have eaten a bagel that took me back to my days in Greenwich Village to the Potbelly Bagel Cafe on Christopher St. NYC. It wasn’t just the bagels and cream cheese...read full review
Excellent NJ bagels! My family liked them so much that we circled back to pick up a dozen to take home to Canada.
Best morning stop before work. The staff is incredibly kind and remembers their regulars. Bagels taste like a sunny day by the shore, and they have a wide selection of ingredients. Every order comes out fast and never misses. Love their low-fat chicken salad for lunch too. Don't sleep on this place, excellent food and service.
