Bagels Restaurants near Hillside, NJ

“We visited the place last Saturday. The cheese bread is fresh but not really the bagels we got. We waited so long ; we found out that my daughter’s order was given to someone else but they did not care to replace it at once. When we asked about our order, that’s the time they rushed to prepare it , in less than five minutes, the sandwich was handed to us. When we were in the car since we’re already late for our next appointment, my daughter found out that the replacement was wrong. She paid for plain bagel with double eggs, bacon, and cheese but she was given with plain bagel with cheese only. They asked for our phone number but did not initiate the call. I hope they will do better in their team work.“

“Very friendly, the bagels are fresh and a variety of cream cheese to choose from.“

“We ordered breakfast for five online on Christmas Eve and everyone loved what they got!“

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

“great“

“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!“

“Whether it's their mini bagels, an egg sandwich, iced coffee, or pastries baked in-house - everything is delicious. Bagels & Buns is the type of local business we should all be supporting in the community; during these hard times especially. Service with a smile at all times and all employees do their best to accommodate all customers. See ya there Sunday mornings!“

“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.“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“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!“

“Food is awesome. Staff is like family.“

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

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

“Really cute place with plenty of clean tables. Staff is nice and friendly and even brought my bagel over to me. A little expensive, I had an everything cheese egg and chorizo for $9. The chorizo is extra cost but very good, adds a nice zing and crisp to it. The everything bagel is also very flavorful. Best bagel I’ve had in Bayonne.“

“Best bagel shop this side of Route 3!From excellent CONSISTENT quality of food, a great selection, and the best staff any customer could wish for, this place is truly a hidden gem.Easy parking in the front and back, and always there to answer for a quick pick up order; great with catering too! 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.“

“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.....“

“Food is always on point! Staff are very kind people. I’m here almost every morning!!! You can always tell when a bagel shop cleans their grills by the taste of the food and the food is delicious every single time! Anyone who complains about how busy they are should realize it’s because of how good they are and know when you finally get your food you will love it! See you guys tomorrow morning. Lol“

“Amazing food and service.“

“Probably the best bagel I’ve had. Their cream cheese was on point, que quality of the dough was amazing and they were so fast preparing them as well.
We got an egg bagel with baggie cream cheese and eggs, and a cinnamon and raisin bagel with egg and cheese. Both really good. Perfect amount of everything and the perfect texture. On top of that, they are really nice and personable. 100% recommended!“

“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“

“This place has some of the best food I’ve gotten from a deli. Everything’s fresh and absolutely delicious I eat here every day. Come in and let al take care of you they have a perfect menu fitting for all types from breakfast to lunch and even dinner. Highly recommend“

“Clean workers . And nice service“

“I am really torn on this review. If i could i would go 4.5. I got an egg everything extra toasted with butter. The bagel was really good! The only issue is there were no seeds on the bottom half which is a cardinal sin. If i wanted a plain bagel i would order one. But i went 5 stars since the bagel was still really good and what pushed it over the edge was when i said extra toasted it actually came out toasted! So many bagel places barely toast their bagels even if you ask for it extra toasted or dark“

“This is our go to for fresh bagels anytime. On the weekend, you should get there early.
Is their bagel sandwiches and other food is very good quality.
The boss runs his business very well and services is top notch.
Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“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.“

“First time getting a famous NJ/NY bagel and it didn’t disappoint. My friends and I were blown away by the freshness and thiccness of every bagel. The shop owner and worker were both accommodating to all of my questions even though we walked in close to closing time. Definitely coming back next time we’re in town!“

“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.“

“Surprisingly, the room is bigger. Friendly staff. And the location is smack in the middle of where we need to go. Breakfast was included, and the staff asked what room we were staying in and welcomed us to a nice selection. As said on their site, if you used their parking service, it'll cost you 60. The garage next door offers 31 overnight. We loved the place and expect to come back“

“This place is awesome. Take it from someone who grew up in Brooklyn around the corner from Bell Bialy and Hot bagels. Heartland 2 are just as good and made the same old authentic way. 👍“

“Awesome spot in Kenilworth, huge selections of bagels, huge selections of cream cheese spreads (veg, scallion, oreo, raspberry, blueberry, walnut/raisin to name a few) plus all the regular breakfast options.

Large drink selections, many diet drink options too.

Own parking lot, 6 or 8 tables to dine in.

Large staff, everybody working, always cleaning, straightening up, very impressed with how they take care of the kitchen/prep area while they're working.

Highly recommend.“

“it's a cool treat for my colleagues“

“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 👏🥯“

“Excellent.. Axel, Arelean Nicole all the waiters, waitresses, cooks, incredible staff.. it's like Cheers.. great friendly place great food.. great way to start the day.“

“I am a fan of Farm to Bagel...I have Celiac and the GF options are amazing! However, in my last 2 visits, including today, they made my food on the gluten grill. I had to point it out to them to remake it. Which they did, no problem...but what if someone who didn't know ate the food? I sent my sister from Boston there, she'd have no idea! That'd be a fine ride back home! Please, Farm to Bagel, do a better.job educating the staff!!! We GF-ers depend on you!“

“OMG, This was the best experience. Ordered breakfast for the office and clients. Food arrived hot and orders were correct and a few extras just in case.Just found our regular breakfast spot. Good portion size and great prices! We will definitely be using you again and again. Thank you, thank you, thank you.“

“Four stars because I just wish this lot would get rid of all this money beggars. They hang out in front and come in the store. The. You lose one and you gain another. They harass the customers to no end. Where is the landlord of this property??“

“Great sándwiches and good coffee. Everything has great taste. Love it!“

“They have great tasting, hot, soft bagels!! I ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel...Ahhh, let me tell you, I felt like I was biting into a piece of heaven. Yes, it may sound over the top, but when I'm here visiting Stateline Island, the first thing I want in the morning is exactly what I just told you. We don't get it that good upstate where I live!! You all are lucky!!! Enjoy!!!“

“I come here every morning, the food slapss (slang for soooo good), i got a spanish burrito with jalapenos and comes with homefries and it did not disappoint!

They are always friendly! They know my usual order already and its clean and i've never had a bad experience. My iced coffee with caramel, cream and sugar always taste good. And they're not skimpy either LOL and very well priced! Your not spending $10 on a coffee and bagel! Hopefully they can continue to keep good prices because itd be a shame to see them go.

Parking: Theres always parking.

Kid-friendliness: Kid Friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: They have enough seating if your in a wheel chair that you wont feel squeezed in.“

“The food is always delicious. Their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is my favorite. But, unfortunately, the service isn't so great. The girls in the kitchen are always very friendly, but the older woman at the cash register always seems to be in a bad mood and has a terrible attitude. I feel like I'm bothering her when I order my food or when I need to pay. She can't even manage to say hello or thank you.“

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

“They are open and ready to serve the community of Westfield.“

“Best pocket friendly breakfast sandwich in town!! The coffee cake is like nothing you've ever had before! Moist and gooey and compliments perfectly with an iced coffee. Nice amount of seating, easy to find location and decent parking. Friendly staff and nice portion for your buck. ??“

“Good local spot. Tried the belly buster which was as advertised. Staff was courteous and friendly.“

“Always stop in for breakfast when I'm up by Union. Their Bacon egg and cheese plus a coffee taste amazing

Parking: Usually plenty of parking, 2 cars can fit in the front on the street and 5+ in the lot, depends how busy“

“If you’re looking for a top-notch deli, this place is a must-visit! The sandwiches are packed with fresh ingredients and the bread is always perfectly toasted. I tried the pastrami on rye and was blown away by the flavor—definitely some of the best I’ve had. The staff is friendly, and the service is quick, even during rush hour. This is my new go-to spot for a delicious, no-fuss meal. Highly recommend!“
