Bagels Restaurants near Kearny, NJ

“Been going there since Middle School. I love the food and the portions they have it is a good price for a portion and the staff there are lovely people.

Dietary restrictions: I have some dietary restrictions such as no cheese or no tomatoes and I know how weird tomatoes are to have as a dietary restriction but they accommodate and or at least tell you what to avoid eating.

Parking: Parking spots I think there is 2 infant of the location 3 across the lot and below the street on the side where the location is there is probably 4

Kid-friendliness: It has a table to keep the kids calm as well as these coin machines and I've seen once where they helped a lady who had a baby stroller sit and help her with a chair as well put the baby stroller away so it wouldn't disturb the other customers.“

“Excelente servicios y muy bueno.“

“Ok. So I've seen good and bad reviews. Maybe it's all about what time you go there. I popped my head in this establishment around 6:30am. The bagels were fresh. I'm use to a higher standard of eggs but you can't expect much here. Kind of felt like a truck stop. A good amount of people seem to stop there on their way to work/school. Being what is it, it's decent. Spots like this are all over the place in New Jersey. But like I said, the bagels were fresh. Not a large verity of items to pick from when it comes to drinks, potatoes chips, candy bars, etc. Funny part, they wanted $8 for 3 Snapples. I'm like, what is the exact price for one... It was too early and I was in a rush so I just paid and left. Not a plane that I would recommend.“

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

“I want to book a trip back to nyc just to have another coffee and smashed avo! Regular is one of the best brunch spots - delicious food, amazing staff, and even better coffee. This place never disappoints, you'll find yourself coming back everyday for more (especially since it's the best coffee in the city). 10/10 recommend!“

“Just saw a Tik Tok where the staff went out of their way to put up a ramp to accommodate a gentleman who is a wheelchair user. Good on ya, guys! 🙌 Kindness matters! 🤍“

“The food and customer service is excellent!!
Traveled from NC to NJ for a family gathering and passed by on my returned to NC. I stopped in for breakfast and left with a dozen of bagels from this side of heaven 😜
My family and I have enjoyed your bagels 🥯all week long. Bagels here in NC, not so good. I'm a Jersey girl! Taste buds and all!
Thank you B Bagels!!!!!“

“awesome bagels, yummy bagels!“

“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.“

“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.....“

“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!"“

“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“

“Essa is my new go to when it comes to sending a taste of New York as a thank you. All 3 of my orders arrived quickly, were fresh as can be and got rave reviews from Oklahoma, California and Kansas. The flavored cream cheese in particular was mentioned as amazing. Thank you Essa Bagel and thanks also to Goldbelly for spreading good food and good cheer!“

“10/10! Comforting atmosphere, fresh food! I had the garlic bagel toasted with spinach, cream cheese with bacon and a roll with bacon egg and cheese. I also had a mocha ice coffee which was definitely made with love! The best was the stuffed bagel which was loaded with cream cheese, cheddar and swiss cheese, butter garlic, bacon and a fried egg!!! A huge thank you to Mudy, the owner, for his hospitality! Since it was my first time here a French toast muffin made in house was given to me as a courtesy. Which was very kind! The muffin was so moist, had great flavor, the texture of the muffin top was light and crisp as well! This bagel shop has amazing prices! With everything being so expensive in this economy they are definitely reasonable. Def a must try! NOT A LOCAL TO LODI? MONTVILLE LOCATION OPENING IN OCT 2026. It’s worth the drive!!!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“So happy with our experience here, friendly counter staff, pleasantly surprised also that we easily got indoor seating on a Sunday around lunch time. Place was clean and lots of natural light. I had the “Leonardo” bagel on a gluten-free everything bagel, it was delicious!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Fresh soft bagels !! Great service ! Glad I found this spot🔥“

“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!“

“Hands downbeat! Best friggen Bagel Spot on the planet. Bang for the buck. Deliciousness done right!“

“Ms Carol not only is the most beautiful woman in the world but she’s the most dedicated soft spoken sweet and reliable worker you can ever come across. Genuine energy and a true care for her customers.
I enjoy being in her presence once a week !

The food is magnificent !!
I got to do a food review for my 60K followers !!!“

“The bagels were great. The staff at my job enjoyed how soft and great they tasted.“

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

“This place is wonderful! The owner and staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food is great. I can't say enough positive things about Metro Bagel & Cafe!!“

“Excelente los desayunos..“

“Stopped in here Fathers Day morning for some Bagels... The atmosphere was perfect, and very welcoming! The front door was open, so we could smell the garlic in the air! Beautiful area Downtown Hackensack and super easy parking! The service was fast, the options were plentiful, and the Bagels were amazing!!! Rob was absolutely amazing, and I really appreciate how informative he was about the different options! Definitely will be our go to for morning Bagels!!! Thanks Becs Bagels for an amazing start to the day! 🙏🌞“

“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!“

“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!“

“Yes, there was a little line to order, but it moved very quickly.

The team were so friendly while taking my order.

The bagels are worth it...I was skeptical, but they're delicious- we all enjoyed them. I'm usual partial to my neighborhood spot nearby, but I may have to diversify a bit!“

“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.“

“We had a fantastic experience at Bagel Market! The food was absolutely delicious, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and high quality.

One of the things we appreciated most was that they offer gluten-free bagels, which can be hard to find. The gluten-free option was excellent, and everyone in our group enjoyed their meal.

The staff was friendly, the service was great, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for delicious bagels, fresh food, and great gluten-free options, Bagel Market is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!“

“Clean workers . And nice service“

“Came in towards closing time and brought my friend who was visiting. She wanted to try the rainbow bagel. 🥯 Jose and is coworker were so helpful and kind. They let us sample the cream cheese and really made her nyc bagel experience memorable!

Thanks!“

“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!“

“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“

“Fresh baked bagels, flagels every morning... fresh brewed coffee, friendly staff and owner. Bay ridge hidden treasure. I've been coming here for about 13 years.. and although this isnt the most ultra modern bagel place... it is the coziest and friendliest 🥯 bagel place in bayridge. And watching the bagels boil as the steam rises, watching them get hosed down and then sprinkled with sesame seeds, poppy seeds and other toppings and then get sent into the oven to get baked is amazing. Visiting H&L would make for a great school trip!! Definitely a place to stop by!!!“

“Really good food.I think this place deserves more.I tried their plater today it was really good.Stuff was also really friendly I went there in a rush time but he handle it nicely and also recommended me good food.Everyone should try🫡“

“I have ordered from Joe at bagel villa for years. He's my go to for catering orders for work and personal events. All orders always arrive on time and the food is always very fresh. All the employees are always very courteous and do a terrific job. Food is always delicious and fresh. Place is always spotless and sanitary. Best bagel store in NYC.“

“I bounce around 3 bagel shops in the neighborhood, and Sam's is the furthest from me, but 3 out of the 4 people in the family prefer it best. Bagel Boy is the 4th person's favorite, and we go there frequently as well.

Sam's has the softest bagels. Less chew, it's true, but kids and older people with bad teeth appreciate this part. Also, they make sure to put toppings on the top AND bottom of the bagel. It's the little things. Finally, they make their jalapeno cheddar cream cheese with pickled jalapenos. Most places use just raw jalapenos. Sam's doesn't use whipped cream cheese. I want all the creaminess, so this works for me.

Staff is always friendly and quick, restaurant is clean and organized. Tried their Reuben sandwich today and I might skip the bagel next time to order one of those again. They don't skimp on the mustard. So good.“

“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“

“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!“

“These bagels are massive! I grabbed a bacon, egg, and cheese on sesame, and it was incredible. It was packed with everything. I really liked the vibe and how fast they were. My only complaint is that the music was way too loud for me. Otherwise, it’s a great spot with tasty food and fair prices.“

“The customer service 20 stars the pizza omg so tasty and so delicious !!! I was amazed by the taste a variety to chose from this will be my spot for the summer please come try and add your review @🙏🗣😍leos is community oriented and the food is the best“
