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“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“There really isn’t much more to be said about this place. Having tried pretty much every whole wheat and multigrain bagel within a 15-mile radius, no one does it better.

The bagels are always fresh, but what really stands out is the service. I usually call ahead and ask if they have any whole wheat bagels left, and they are always kind enough to put some aside for me. One time, I picked up my order right before they were closing, and when I got home, I noticed they had thrown in an extra bagel. For them, it might have just been an extra bagel at the end of the day since they make everything fresh daily, but for a customer, that kind of service really means something.

It’s the little things like that that keep people coming back. I don’t get to visit as often as I’d like because it’s a bit far from my house, but honestly, if you want the best whole wheat or multigrain bagels, I’m not kidding—no one does it better. The service, the bagels, everything about this place is just great.“

“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!“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Excellent bagels, great portions for reasonable prices. Ample seating inside with some groceries available for purchase. Friendly staff, too!“

“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!“

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

“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“

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

“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.“

“Food is awesome. Staff is like family.“

“The staff and the owner are super nice and respectful. Let my whole family 13 people leave there suitcases right outside of his shop and let us hangout inside for a few hours waiting for an air bnb. Oh and best bagels I’ve ever had 🇺🇸❤ this place is a must try!“

“Located on Millburn Avenue in Short Hills, New Jersey, Bagel Pantry offers breakfast sandwiches and approximately 15 types of bagels and a few other items. The plain bagel was fresh and the cream cheese very high quality. Take out is popular, while others take a break at the 8 or so small tables. The lighting is somewhat dreary, and the ceiling and walls perhaps worn, but the service was pleasant and the prices certainly reasonable.“

“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“

“Clean workers . And nice 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!“

“Owners were nice and bagels were soft and warm. The atmosphere was good and friendly. I felt welcomed coming in, ordering was really easy, and the bagels were fantastic. I got the cheddar jalapeño bagel. You should definitely get that. You will not regret it. Would definitely go back!“

“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“

“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.“

“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 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.“

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

“Amazing food and service.“

“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 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“

“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“

“We had ordered DoorDash and waiting a good close to an hour to haven a driver accept the pickup/delivery. We called manhattan bagel and explained the situation, we were trying to cancel the order and just pick up ourselves but DoorDash didn’t allow us to change from delivery or pickup, so ok. As we were on the phone with manhattan bagel they also noticed our order was sitting there but in the same time a driver accepted the pickup and delivery so we said okay we will wait. The order gets delivered and when we go outside the order was gone. The door dasher left it outside without notifying us or anything. So now we are out of breakfast, cool. I go tot he store personal and just replace my order because we reported it to DoorDash and they claimed to return our refund. When I got there and ordered and paid. Alex the gentleman who took our call of concern was present when I place my order. He kindly without me asking helped me with my order discounted me but I had to buy something. I don’t believe it was their fault it was on DoorDash. I just want to give a shoutout to Alex and the staff there. When I got there to place my order all the tables inside were taken, it was busy and still they gave grace and kindness. I love seeing that from an establishment. And I highly recommend going here. They are kind. Now full disclosure I’m not saying to go there and claim this. I had proof this happened and I’m glad Alex acknowledged that. Regardless bagel and croissant with BECSPK. Was amazing and their strawberry and blackberry lemonade is amazing. All in all I want to thank them for showing kindness and taking the burden on BEHALF OF DOORDASH!

Thank you Alex and team this was around 12-2pm“

“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. 👍“

“it's a cool treat for my colleagues“

“Great People will see you again 💪💪“

“Clean, fast, terrific selection. Easy in and out parking. Had good old egg and sausage on a roll = best I’ve ever had. Great coffee, offered 1/2 and 1/2 self serve. No waiting in line. Make it while they make your sandwich. If I commuted this would be my every morning spot.“

“We live in Harrison and have spent months trying to find a quality bagel place that also serves a French toast bagel. I’ve been eating Taylor ham egg&cheese on a French toast bagel for 20 years from various places in North Jersey. This morning we ordered from B&B the first time via UberEats and I had what I’m fairly certain is the best French toast bagel I’ve ever had. I’mglad I accidentally ordered 2. This is going to become our go-to for THEC bagels. Thank you!!“

“The day was always fresh and they gave you a lot of cream cheese on them. Nice people.“

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

“BEST SANDWICHES ! Delicious and fresh ingredients!“

“HANDS DOWN THE BEST BAGEL IN A 25 MILE RADIUS!

The perfect crunchy, chewy outside and the softest most tender crumb. I don't know how they do it but it's the only bagel shop I will go to. Plus the gentleman behind the counter is always nice and professional. MUST STOP BAGEL SPOT“

“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 live in Austin, TX, and I love how I can have authentic New York bagels delivered to my front door. I am a new customer, and I love Just Bagels. I love their customer service, they answer their phone, and they answer my questions on Facebook. I will be using them again, and again. I love everything about them so far. My boyfriend is the bagel eater, and I ordered 2 dozen for him. The flavors we got were Everything, Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin, and Blueberry. He is in love with their blueberry bagels. Those are his favorite, but he loves them all. Thanks Just Babels for the wonderful bagels. We’ll be trying new flavors next time, but for sure blueberry again. :)“

“This is my local deli
Staff is always nice
They are quick
Food is fresh
And they have everything you need - such a big selection. A hot coffee bar and some fresh produce
Drinks and fridges are always cold unlike a lot of places“

“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 👏🥯“
