Bagels Restaurants near Lodi, NJ

“Best bagel spot I have tried in Bergen County! So many unique and delicious bagel options to choose from and the service was excellent. The nice woman who took my order was really knowledgeable and had good recommendations. The owner is very kind and attentive. I will be making this bagel shop my go to spot!“

“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!“

“Had a BLT on a sesame bagel and it was delicious. The bagel was fresh, the ingredients were high quality, and everything tasted great. The staff was very friendly, and the shop was spotless and well kept. Definitely a great local spot, I’ll be back!“

“Breakfast here at least once every week. Have never had a order disappoint.
Chicken Cutlet sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich, grilled cheese, the BLT, bagels with cream cheese, Chicken Florentine wrap, Chicken Pesto wrap, cheeseburger, ALL OF THEM SLAPPP.“

“Ordered via TooGood2Go for a mystery bag for a 1 PM pickup. I got there a little early but they were nice enough to give me my bag. For $5.99, I ended up with a dozen assorted bagels. They gave me a good mix in there too, and the bagels were fresh from that morning. I could tell because I ripped into a piece in the car and it was still soft. There was everything, salt, plain, whole wheat, sesame, cinnamon raisin, and blueberry. This actually put me on to blueberry bagels because that's not something I would have ordered before. I froze most of them and a pop in the toaster oven makes it almost as good as new.

Will have to come back for some breakfast sandwiches!“

“Booking a hotel close to this place was an excellent decision on my part. I will miss the everything bagel with herb cream cheese when I go home. It helps to know what you want before you line up because things move pretty fast once you’re in. I was always able to sit at the counter but if you’re taking it to go that’s probably even better.“

“The best bagels hands down! This has become our "go to" stop each time we pass through NY for bagels. Great customer service. We can call ahead and they have the order ready for our multiple (and large) family order with everything perfect! Super helpful and also help with bringing the many bags out to the car! So much appreciation! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see you again!“

“With a name as generic as Bagel Shop in NYC, you better be good. Any concerns regarding quality were quickly dispelled when we walked through the door. The place was packed. We ordered a very basic selection of bagels and assorted spreads, nothing fancy. Overall, the food was great and the coffee was too...piping hot which is a plus. This is clearly a solid local spot with a well deserved reputation. We are glad we visitied and would return.“

“Fresh bagels, hand rolled and made onsite. Can’t beat the selection. I thought it would be a tourist trap due to its location, but it beat every other shop we tried.“

“Delicious bagels and schmear!!“

“Yes please to all of it! We love this place.“

“You might wait a while, but your stomach will thank you. These people work hard and it shows in the products they produce.“

“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! 🤍“

“Utopia Bagels is definitely one of the best bagel places in New York, and after my visit, I can understand why it's so highly rated.

The bagels were fresh, delicious, and lived up to the hype. But what impressed me even more was the staff. They were always smiling, friendly, and more than happy to help, especially for first-time customers who weren't familiar with the menu. They patiently explained the different options without making us feel rushed.

To be honest, this kind of genuine customer service is becoming harder to find, especially in a busy metropolitan city like New York. It really made the whole experience even better.

Kudos to the entire team for not only serving great bagels but also making customers feel genuinely welcome. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in New York. 🥯👏“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“Carlos has been making bagels for years! Glad to see him start his own business!“

“Amazing bagels and spreads! Sam’s the black and white cookies! We had v one and then made a second trip back to get the more!“

“Turkey , egg and , cheese on an everything bagel. Best spot around !“

“Bagels in NY? YES PLEASE! & this is the right place for anyone. I had a blueberry bagel with apple cinnamon cream cheese 🤤. The drink was a Strawberry Match, WITH REAL STRAWBERRIES at the bottome, 😍, wish I would've had 1 everyday I was there! Lots of options definitely a must have!“

“This small business is just wonderful. The food is delicious, the bagels and sandwiches are so fresh and tasty and the bagels are large. I purchased here a few times via the TGTG app and purchased bagels and their delicious home made assorted flavor cream cheeses. Additionally, the owner Ernesto and his wife are so genuine, customer service focused and take pride in the products/service they provide to their clients and community. I definitely recommend this bagel shop and more as one of the BEST in NJ and I drive 7 miles from Maywood,NJ to support them while purchasing their outstanding products!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“The bagels of my Brooklyn youth!“

“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 second time visiting this café. The first time we tried the bagels and really enjoyed them. This time, we ordered an Italian hero, but it honestly didn’t impress me. I know it’s a simple dish, but it didn’t meet my expectations. The lettuce was served as a whole leaf instead of being properly chopped, and the sandwich was quite dry—I had to ask for extra vinegar to make it better.

The service is good, but this is definitely a place for bagels. I wouldn’t expect much from the rest of the menu.“

“We come here almost every Sunday, and every visit is a great experience. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and genuinely kind. The bagels are absolutely amazing—honestly, some of the best bagels I have ever had. The prices are very reasonable, and the quality is consistently excellent.

From the owner to every member of the staff, everyone goes out of their way to make customers feel appreciated. We are truly grateful to have a place like this in our community. It has become a family tradition for us, and we always look forward to coming back. Highly recommended!“

“This has to be one of the Best bagel stores in NJ. Eric and Christie are amazing owners and everything is made fresh, including the variety of Cream cheeses they offer. Have to try the sundried tomato cream cheese, it is a favorite. The staff are friendly and pleasant and very efficient in what they do. I call ahead my order being they are always busy. Don't be surprised if when you arrive there is a line out the door, they are that good. 👍“

“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“

“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!"“

“A must-try bagel spot in Manhattan.

Apollo Bagels is often recommended as one of the best places for bagels in New York, so we had to check it out.

We ordered the smoked salmon everything bagel, and it was absolutely delicious.

The bagel is made with sourdough, which makes it slightly less chewy than a traditional bagel, but I really liked the flavor and seasoning. It also looked beautiful—just as good visually as it tasted. It is served like an open face sandwich.

I do wish they had been a bit more generous with the smoked salmon.

That said, Apollo Bagels is definitely worth a visit. You’re very likely to enjoy it.“

“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!“

“B&B Bagels was such an awesome surprise during our stay in NYC. We walked over from the Ronald McDonald House one morning feeling a little overwhelmed by the city at first, but this place instantly made us feel at home. Everyone was genuinely kind, caring, courteous, and so generous — like we’d been stopping in every morning for years.

And the food… wow. I know “it’s just a bagel,” but seriously, these were incredible. The bagels were toasted perfectly with just the right amount of chew, the cream cheese selection was amazing, and the lox were absolutely delightful. Even the black coffee was perfect.

Most importantly, my daughter absolutely loved the rainbow bagel and it completely made her morning.

Thank you guys for the warm welcome, the great food, and for turning a simple breakfast into such a comforting and memorable part of our trip. We’ll definitely be back.“

“34th Bagels & More was one of our favorite bagel spots during our time in Midtown Manhattan. While in New York we made it a point to have bagels every day, and this place definitely delivered that classic NYC bagel experience. Located right in Midtown, it’s a great quick stop whether you’re heading out for the day or grabbing breakfast before exploring the city.

The shop had a nice local neighborhood feel with a huge selection of fresh bagels, spreads, breakfast options, sandwiches, and coffee. I went with the onion bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, and it was perfect. The bagel was fresh, soft on the inside with a nice chewy texture, and the onion flavor really stood out. The jalapeño cream cheese added just the right amount of spice and creaminess without overpowering the bagel.

One thing you immediately notice is how fresh everything tastes. The portions were generous, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere had that busy New York breakfast vibe that makes the experience even better. If you’re staying around Midtown Manhattan and looking for a solid authentic bagel spot, this is definitely worth checking out.“

“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!“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“The most delicious bagel I have ever eaten! Cream cheese with pistachios and raisins. Thank you!“

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

“Friendly, helpful staff. Fantastic coffee!“

“Easily the best chicken over rice in the Manhattan area. The chicken shawarma bowl was jam packed with flavours 🙌 especially the rice. Good quantity for the price. Special mention to Ahmed who made our first experience at the cart memorable.
P.s: Go grab your lunch at street bites rather than standing over an hour at Adele’s.
Street bites NYC >>>>> Adele’s“

“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!“

“One of the best spots for bagels in LIC. They have lots of choices, with different options for breakfast and lunch, and there is plenty of seating, which makes it easy to sit down and enjoy your food.

When it first opened, I honestly think it deserved 5 stars. The taste and quality felt better back then. Now it still tastes good, but not quite at the same level.

I am taking one star off because of that drop in quality, but it is still one of the best bagel places around.“

“I have to say this is a busy location and well run. It’s also great to see that the team is very diverse and inclusive!

Everyone here seems super friendly and you can see this location is clean and sanitary!

I highly recommend“

“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!“

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

“A MUST STOP every time I come back to NJ to visit my Mom!“

“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 !!!“

“Best Bagels and quality food!“

“Definately my favourite bagel place in the neighborhood. I tried both take out and dine in. The quality of the food is great, tons of cream cheese options! the restaurant has a few tables, they are quite small. It gets BUSY quickly, so finding a spot in rush hours isn't always easy. I've seen the line wrapping around the corner but they are also very fast.
They have another location as well in UWS, and I once placed my order for pickup in the wrong location and they managed it internally and still gave me my lunch. Absolutely love this place.“

“Broadway Bagel is good for a lot of things but it's better to tell you what its not good for because it's smaller. their pastrami, very chewy & fatty. I got a wrap & was horrible because I was fighting with the pastrami to bite off a piece & then getting fat in your mouth is disgusting. At times when I get a breakfast sandwich with bacon it's like that's when they choose to hide fatty bacon instead of giving you well cooked bacon. How does an establishment do that to their customers? The tuna wrap w/ French fries, I usually order but now they're adding lettuce when before it was onions & avocado now they're putting celery & adding lettuce. why did they mess with such a great sandwich? Certain staff I work with like their blueberry pancakes, homefries, BLT. But like I said too many times I bought a BLT & it was filled with a lot of fatty bacon. I look at my food before I eat it. They used to have different flavors of OJ, Mango/Pineapple, Strawberry/Banana/Orange, but now all they have is regular OJ. They're changing how they made stuff and they changed the working crew so all I can say is I mostly get breakfast. It's hit & Miss for a lot of things because I like my food the way anyone having a business should make the food for their customers; with love & as best as possible.“

“Number 1 in my own personal world since 1994!!! The best and they never disappoint!!“

“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!“
