Bagels Restaurants near Matawan, NJ

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

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!!“

“Great bagels and coffee, try their cream cheese!“

“Just because it’s shaped like a bagel doesn’t make it a bagel. I am there every Wednesday morning where I buy 8 bagels. From the glass you can see the giant vat in the back where they ACTUALLY boil their bagels which is the correct way to make a bagel and not just round dough in the shape of a bagel. These bagels are the best bagels I’ve ever had in New Jersey since moving from New York. The woman behind the counter is always so nice. Their bagels for the quality are well priced. I have plenty of bagel spots around where I live but I drive a few extra miles to this place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Price was great. Service was awesome. Taste of the food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Only place that makes fresh delicious bialys. Bagels are good too!“

“Ok so being Google keeps asking me to review here I thought and nice Sunday morning coffee and bagel would be good. There is a big parking lot being it’s part of a shopping center. Walking in no confusion as to where to go to order. Everyone seemed very nice and helpful. I think it took me longer to make my coffee then it took to make and bag my bagel. Let me stop boring you with the BS stuff let’s talk bagel and coffee. I have been to a few bagel shops and I have to say Manhattan Bagel has the softest bagels. I did just get a buttered salt but wow the outside was mildly crunchy but like I said nice and soft in the middle. As far as coffee I tried their fall blend pumpkin spice and it tasted very deluded, not to much taste. They didn’t have French vanilla so I went with the pumpkin. Would I go back 100% the bagel was fantastic“

“Great service great food excellent customer service“

“I was so so excited to try this place. I got a blueberry muffin , an Elvis a club and a cookie and breakfast sandwich. I got my order and they made my club wrong so made it again and it was wrong so ill im waiting bored bc its been about 20 minutes I noticed they forgot my elvis also judt a sorry nothing never again. it was over $50“

“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. 👍“

“Bagels are good they are the best bagels I have ever tasted“

“Morning time is an absolutely way better than night time , the lady always handles my food so nicely and always so kind ! Makes me want to always comeback . Fresh bagels you really have to catch this place in the mornings night time is just rude except for the cashiers . It does get busy in the morning but worth the wait might get something wrong but they don’t hesitate to correct it so nice .“

“I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a French toast bagel and it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had it brought back so many memories from when I was younger biting into that sandwich was astounding“

“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.“

“The bagels are always fresh and coldcuts as well Nice clean bagel store . I wish they had more hours so I can go more often .“

“I Love FastBagel Always so Fresh and Delicious. Love getting Breakfast as well as Lunch The Staff Always sooo friendly. My total Favorite. Noelle“

“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.“

“Absolutely! Love the fruity pebble bagel❤️“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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“

“greate food , good place and people“

“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.“

“Classic Pork roll, egg, and cheese on a bagel. Reduced one star for smaller bagel options, 10 styles or so. Baker's dozen for $18 is more than fair. Great quality, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Cash only and very limited coffee options. Bring your own travel mug, so hot you might get burned with their cup. Old School Jersey service, great experience.“

“Such a great little 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.“

“People are writing some misleading things about page deli. There has never been a manager who smokes outside. There has never been any instance of food poisoning etc. place is busy during breakfast. They have the best layout, coffee area, variety of snacks and amazing bagels.“

“I grew up with Gem’s in the Burg- these are the absolute BEST bagels by far!!! I can’t wait to visit this summer and get my fix 🥯 ❤️“

“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!“

“Variety of delish food and sandwiches“

“I have been going to gems since they first opened in Keansburg! They have good food and I understand with food cost they had to raise prices. I wish they would put a little bit more on breakfast sandwiches for what they charge. Other than that they still taste great and the employees are always friendly!“

“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.“

“Best damn bagels hands down. These guys know how to make them. Sorry Ess-a-bagel (NYC), you’re a sorry second. I travel out of my way to visit this place because it’s worth it. Long live Colts Neck Bagels.“

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

“Best bagels. It's a small cozy place. It looks shabby but don't let that fool you. It makes the best bagels in the entire area. They are made to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on inside. I think they must have a OG recipe for bagels lol. Must try.“

“Bagel Depot is hands down the best spot on the island for bagels. Not only are their bagels the best tasting around, perfectly fresh with that classic chewy inside and crisp outside, but they’re also the cheapest you’ll find anywhere. You really can’t beat the value.

What makes it even better is how fast they move. They always have multiple people working the counter, so even if there’s a line, you’re in and out in no time. Great prices, amazing bagels, and quick service. Bagel Depot sets the standard. Highly recommend!“

“I love Liberty Bagel Cafe!“

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

“Stopped by this morning to get a breakfast sandwich and something for lunch and I was very satisfied. The store was very well put together and very clean! Staff was very friendly. I had asked them if they can make me a sandwich I got off TikTok lol and it was AMAZING😻 definitely found my new favorite deli“

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