Bagels Restaurants near Matawan, NJ

“Great bagels!!!! Great service too!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bagel Factory Cafe in Matawan is hands down one of the best spots around. The bagels are always fresh, the coffee is perfect, and the whole place has such a welcoming vibe. What really stood out was the amazing service—Ameel took great care of us, making sure everything was exactly how we wanted. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind, he made the experience even better. Definitely my go-to cafe from now on!“

“I just had the grilled French toast bagel. It is the best little breakfast treat! The bagels here are top tier!!“

“We went ABC hoping for some authentic bagels (they now close at 2pm btw). The bagels were really good (like bagels are supposed to be…dense and chewy not bread shaped into o’s) and the ladies behind the counter could both have been nicer! Worth a visit!! We ate some there and took a dozen to-go too!“

“Manager is very honest....i left by credit card and i came back after 5 days and i got it back...friendly.people....very good vibes! 5 star...“

“Loved the friendly service! Giving only 4 stars for food simply because I've been spoiled by bagels from Union Hill Bagels (they closed at the beginning of the pandemic and still looking for anyone to match the quality, freshness, taste and selection of bagels)- very high bar to reach in my eyes... solid contender though“

“We stopped by our cousins bagel shop today for the first time. Incredibly delicious light and airy Bagels. The Calabria, rosemary olive oil?and jalapeño bagels are to die for. Best of luck in the store. My suggestion is that everyone go there and try some.“

“Wow! From the first time I took a bite out of the mix dozen bagels I bought I knew I have found the perfect bagel. Great staff, clean and a delicious variety of coffee.“

“Large selection of fresh warm bagels. A variety of sandwiches on bagels available along with many Italian style take home dinner items. Small sitting area outside to enjoy your bagel and coffee weather permitting. Very Long line but store is well staffed and line moves quickly. Always a good experience.“

“Great service great food excellent customer service“

“Just wanted to say as a native Staten Islander, and having moved to Florida every time I come here and visit I always come and get bagels at Mikey Bagels. We bring them back to Florida as they are the best. I just left the bagel store the staff and owner were wonderful. There bagels are delicious. I will always make this a staple when I stop here to visit to take back home.“

“Love their Jalapeño Salsa aka Jalapeño cream cheese and Honey walnut cream cheese

Manhattan Bagel is a popular chain that offers a variety of fresh, flavorful bagels with a range of spreads and toppings. Their bagels are typically soft yet chewy on the inside with a nice crisp on the outside, reflecting a classic New York-style recipe. The selection includes everything from plain and sesame to more unique options like asiago and cinnamon raisin.

They also offer an extensive menu of sandwiches, from the classic bacon, egg, and cheese to more intricate creations, often made with fresh deli meats, veggies, and specialty spreads. One standout feature is the variety of cream cheese options, which are often generously applied. Service is generally quick and friendly, although during peak hours, it can get busy.

While some might argue that the bagels don't quite have the same iconic "New York" magic as the best independent spots in Manhattan, Manhattan Bagel holds up well compared to many chain competitors. Overall, it's a solid choice for a casual breakfast or lunch, especially if you're in the mood for a consistent, no-frills bagel experience.“

“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!“

“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. 👍“

“first time customer today. and surely not the last time I'll be going. great bagels for a great price of quality food. staff is extremely friendly. if you like mini bagels this is the spot!“

“In Staten Island I only saw the Citi Bagel where the Morning and Evening both shift staff are very friendly and wearing the masks Durning making the food so I feel very comfortable to have have my food from Citi Bagels and I am not agree to the remarks of some one who says that staff do not wearing the mask when they serve the food please keep visiting the Citi Bagel to promote that kind of good businesses thanks“

“Such a great little place!“

“I've been to every bagel deli in the area and this one outshines them all. Bagels are perfect and the food is great. Staff is friendly and helpful. So glad my grandson, Nick, introduced me to this place. If you want to relax with friends over coffee, there is a small lounge area or sit at a table to enjoy your food.“

“They just opened up a Bagel box in Bay terrace and I'm very excited 😊. I stopped in to order 2 sandwiches and of course they were so good 😋 . The store Manager was very nice Definitely suggest there Buffy Jack on a roll and there Chopped Cheese but make sure you say lettuce and tomato 🙋🏾‍♀️ Great good great service“

“I always look for bagel places when I am roaming the state of NJ. There is good parking out front of the store. Getting in and out from the highway is a bit tricky. I went at lunchtime so it was not super busy. Odd setup inside makes it hard to order. Service was good. The bagel was very good.“

“Variety of delish food and sandwiches“

“Recently checked out Joe’s Bagel and Grill in Robertsville, NJ—and honestly, I’m confused by all the hate. Yeah, I saw the reviews complaining about pricing, gluten-free “gouging,” and service, but that wasn’t our experience at all.

We tried the gluten-free options since my partner needs them, and everything was solid. Staff were super friendly—smiling, helpful, just genuinely nice people. I went back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, no issues either time. Food was great, service was fast, and the vibe was good.

Sure, like anyone, I’d love for life to be cheaper—but I actually think the pricing here is fair for the area and the quality. It’s a bagel shop, not a mortgage payment. People in these reviews need to chill.“

“I was in a conversation last week about the BEST bagels we ever had. I've had A LOT of bagels over 56 years. Annadale Bagels provided me with my BEST BAGEL EVER.It was an egg bagel made to perfection. Perfection. It was delicious. This is my absolute GO TO place on Staten IslandHighly recommended! Hopefully you'll meet Manny. If you do, please tell him HI!“

“These are the best bagels outside of Brooklyn! The place has been in business since the '70s and when you try one of bagels you understand why. They have super fresh and really good homemade cream cheese as well as a selection of sandwiches and other goodies. The atmosphere is welcoming and patriotic, and the staff is very friendly and entertaining lol. We love coming here and highly recommend this establishment!“

“Absolutely! Love the fruity pebble bagel❤️“

“Wonderful owners and staff ! We all go here every day- it’s our “go to” store- a local family small business. Love this place.“

“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.“

“greate food , good place and people“

“The light chicken salad is AMAZING!!!!!!!“

“Great bagel and breakfast stop! Good coffee too. Friendly staff.“

“Great food, great people, come here all the time when I'm back home.“

“I love Liberty Bagel Cafe!“

“I think that the bagels here are really my favorite bagels in all of NJ. The insides are thick and fluffy, while the outside is slightly crisp, just like a bagel should be. Usually I get a half dozen and an egg and cheese on a bagel to-go. They also have really nice flavored cream cheese.“
