I was visiting my cousins who live in manalapan so we came to this shop bc the bagel place we usually go to was closed and I was highly disappointed. The bagels were good but the employees were so rude. I originally asked for a bacon egg and cheese and the response was “ we don’t have a grill sooooo” sooo what i am just supposed to assume you don’t ? it’s a bagel shop in jersey and the name literally has hot in it . Not only that They were taking other order on top of us and they rolled their eyes once i asked for a bagel with tomatoes and cream cheese like it was an impossible task for them to achieve. would not recommend there r so many better options around with much friendlier people

Good bagels. The place normally has a line on the weekends but it moves fast. Its a cash only business.

Walked in and waited in line. I watched the ladies take your order, grab your food, prepare it and exchange currency using the same gloves. This happened for 3 of the customers in front of me. I'm sure it happened to the 4 that was behind me. You have been warned.

Two ladies during weekdays provide horrible customer service, especially an older one. During weekends, teenagers do a great job. Bagels are amazing!

By far best bagel in the area. Would give 5 stars but knocked off one for the customer service. The two ladies there working had zero personality and seemed like they just hate life. I got maybe 3 words out of the lady. All I got was a “Next” when it was my turn to order, didn’t even ask me what I wanted and then I was told the price and got no response to me saying thank you and have a good day. I came in the store saying good morning and thank you after I placed my order so I don’t get the lack of common courtesy and simple conversation. Would I go back….I would for the delicious bagel, but if I get that kind of interaction again it might not be worth it after that.

Best bagel shop in Manalapan!!! Bagels are excellent and a great group of kids working there as well.

I think the line out the door says enough about their bagels. Make sure you know what you’re ordering cause they’re very no bs. Cash only, atm inside and next door at the convenience store.

Ordered two bagels and they only gave me one, their bagels are good, but they are terrible workers

I cannot comment on the food but on the customer service. When I entered the store instead of asking how can I help you the woman behind the register said yea that was the greeting. I proceeded to ask for a blt on rye bread and instead of politely saying they do not have what im asking for the woman at the register said that sounds good but not here. She rambled on about how they don't have bread they are a kosher store and they don't have any of that. This was my first time entering the store which does not have a website nor a phone number for me to know that information. Very terrible way to treat someone to be quite honest.
Bagels are always fresh and the service is excellent?Ever since I introduced my family, who lives in Brooklyn, to Hot Bagel, whenever they come to visit, never leave without one dozen Bagels.

Have been there countless times since my last review and they are still the best around the area. Big thick chewy bagels that are great with either cream cheese or butter. I shared with the owners that I felt bad that the Star Ledger did not get a chance to eat any bagels on their visit because, THEY WERE SOLD OUT!! WARNING -As I said earlier, go early on a weekend or you will wait in a long line!

The coffee was great and the ambiance was clearly relaxing and yet it was great to have a relaxing conversation with your friend
