“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“

“Now that Fanwood Bagel wants to go boojie, this will be my new go-to bagel place.“

“Clean workers . And nice service“

“Great breakfast sandwich options for less. Called ahead every time and without fail, my order was ready to go every time I walked in. We enjoyed the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant as well as plain bagels with cream cheese. The coffee was also nothing to scoff at either. We definitely enjoyed our breakfast, so much so that we went back the next day. And for the price, you can't beat it. Definitely better than what you will get at the nearby hotels and for less.“

“Great service great food excellent customer service“

“The staff are always so friendly and the food is amazing. My only complaint is that you can’t order the baklava online which may be better for me to not order every single day- it’s their best dish!“

“This is central NJ. ... The home of stripmalls and the obligate pizza, bagel, and Asian restaurants. I live on Rt. 130: within a mile of my home are four bagel stores. Bagel 1 is the best. Huge bagels, crusty, chewey but soft, great flavor. Huge variety. Great prices. Fast, friendly. Efficient service.“

“First real bagel since COVID began!“

“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!“

“I’ve been coming here for about five years now and I am the most pickiest eater probably, and no matter what I order they always make Sure, I leave happy. Not only do they care about their customers, but they have amazing food just like their name.“

“⭐️ Hidden Gem Alert: Bagel 1 in Old Bridge, NJ ⭐️

It’s amazing how some of the smallest, most unassuming spots turn out to have the most delicious food and Bagel 1 is absolutely one of them.

From the outside, the place might not grab your attention, it may even seem like somewhere you wouldn't go, but don’t judge a book by it's cover! The food coming out of this kitchen is delicious, fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you’re hunting for a legit bagel or breakfast sandwich, go here.

What really stood out during my visit was the service. Wael, the gentleman working the front counter, was exceptionally polite, attentive, and patient. His attention to detail and willingness to listen closely to my order, especially as someone who likes to customize their breakfast sandwiches, this was refreshing. In many bagel spots, staff can seem rushed or distracted, but Wael made the experience easy.

Whether you're a classic bacon-egg-and-cheese kind of person or someone who likes to get a little creative with your sandwich, Bagel 1 delivers quality without the chaos. The spot is low-key, but the flavor is next level.

Highly recommend swinging by if you’re in the area and want a breakfast that hits the spot. Old Bridge is lucky to have this place!“

“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!“

“Awesome spot in Kenilworth, huge selections of bagels, huge selections of cream cheese spreads (veg, scallion, oreo, raspberry, blueberry, walnut/raisin to name a few) plus all the regular breakfast options.

Large drink selections, many diet drink options too.

Own parking lot, 6 or 8 tables to dine in.

Large staff, everybody working, always cleaning, straightening up, very impressed with how they take care of the kitchen/prep area while they're working.

Highly recommend.“

“it's a cool treat for my colleagues“

“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.“

“One of the best bagel sandwiches I have ever had!“

“Amazing! Young lady was so welcoming not sure if I got her name right! Amber? Very sweet and polite and food is amazing too!“

“Best bagels in New Brunswick. I've been patronizing since they moved to their current location in September of 1998. Not much has changed since then, which is a great thing considering the development of the surrounding area.

Some of the lower ratings are subjective. Come in and see for yourself a real gem of Easton Ave. Nicholas is a class act and wonderful reminiscing with. I'll be back, like I always do, when I visit the old stomping grounds.“

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

“They are open and ready to serve the community of Westfield.“

“I always had Dunellen Bagel when I lived there and it’s the best bagel I’ve ever had. I moved and bagels aren’t the same here so everytime I visit Jersey I have to go to Dunellen Bagel and I have my husband addicted too. He’s never tasted a bagel like this and he was amazed. So we bring bagels back home in our carry-on and freeze them at home. I would 100% definitely recommend this place!“

“I love this people they are so nice, friendly and the store is very very very clean definitely I’ll come back And I’ll recommend it for everyone“

“Best pocket friendly breakfast sandwich in town!! The coffee cake is like nothing you've ever had before! Moist and gooey and compliments perfectly with an iced coffee. Nice amount of seating, easy to find location and decent parking. Friendly staff and nice portion for your buck. ??“

“Good local spot. Tried the belly buster which was as advertised. Staff was courteous and friendly.“

“I don’t want to put bad review for you guys I come there for coffee and bagel all the time ,My family love this place you guys have good bagel but
I think you guys change Your bagel recipe it doesn’t taste right I had this morning sesame and chocolate bagel it taste like bread“

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

“love love love this place...my favorite bagel is the French toast ..so many other choices as well..great local place“

“Really awesome bagels! Typical bagel shop / deli fare. I like the variety of bagels - they have everything, egg everything amd a whole wheat everything! Their multi-grain and french toast bagels are awesome too. Great food. Cooks prepare the food correctly. The staff are very friendly, it shows when they are rushed or stressed, but otherwise they are welcoming and thank us for coming in. The coffee is great! Tasty and fresh, I love some of the flavored beans, but they don't always have every flavor available. Chicken salad and tuna salad and other lunch options are also very good.“

“Very small bagel store, no frill interior. I believe they have a couple small tables at most and a wall hung flat panel. Tables may have been removed during peak COVID. Parking is pretty decent, I can typically get a parking spot without issue. Some bagel varieties do run out quite early in the morning. Typically everything bagel, salt, egg, wheat, blueberry are available later in the day. I do feel these bagels are some of the best in the immediate area, not bready, with enough chewy and crispy parts and moist. They have basic variety of bagel flavor selection but not a huge variety. Bagels have always been spot on consistent. Friendly staff and typically quick service.“

“Not a bad bagel place for those who are in the area, solid pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich. They have good cream cheese choices too. Overall not the best bang for buck bagel store though. They have a $1 card charge though so bring cash.“

“greate food , good place and people“

“This is hands down the best bagel shop! The bagels are always fresh, soft, and perfectly made. The chive and vegetable cream cheeses are definite standouts—packed with flavor. This particular location also has the best service; the staff is consistently friendly and efficient. We usually walk in for just bagels, but if you’re ordering sandwiches or anything more involved, I’d recommend calling ahead to save time.“

“Everyone knows they have great bagels, especially their everything bagel…. However, I Accidentally found out they have probably the best tuna sub I’ve had in years! If you’re a fan of tuna, give it a shot! Comes with a side of macaroni salad or coleslaw or other small options“

“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.“

“What an amazing gem of a place! They have something for everyone - such an expansive menu. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, and they can even accommodate those sensitive to gluten. Will definitely be back!“
