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

“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.“

“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!“

“it's a cool treat for my colleagues“

“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.“

“I love this place. Bagels are always fresh. I always get a bacon, egg and cheese with or without avocado depending on my mood and it’s so good the bacon comes out nice and crispy not burnt but not soggy. The only thing I noticed the last time I was there I don’t know if the guy is the owner or what but he offered me “free gummy candy” (the hamburger gummies) like literally handed it to me and then proceeded to charge me for it. Like why say it’s free if it’s not lol“

“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.“

“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.“

“First real bagel since COVID began!“

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

“I’ve been coming here sporadically over the last year or so, ordering the same thing each time, and every time it is perfection. Just the best ingredients, best bagels, best everything, and the staff are hilarious! Can’t wait to come back again.“

“The guys here make a wonderful bagel. I look forward to hosting family gatherings where guests stay overnight because I know in the AM, I will be picking up loads of bagels from Bagel 1. Everyone loves them, and those that come from far, take some home with them. They blow the doors off of the spots East Brunswick offers. Worth the extra couple minute ride on a Saturday/Sunday morning. When I go by myself, the breakfast sandwiches are loaded and taste phenomenal. The price to quality ratio can’t be beat around here, and I tried them all multiple times.“

“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.“

“I’ve been going to this establishment on and off for quite a few years. I got in just under the wire for the grill to be on and I ordered my sandwich on a bagel and I ordered an additional buttered bagel. Everything was prepared perfectly. Great value, sandwich and service.“

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

“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!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“Absolutely Delicious!

I had the grilled chicken and vegetables wrap from Milltown Bagel Bazaar and it was incredible! The chicken was perfectly grilled, the veggies were fresh and flavorful, and the cheesy sauce brought it all together in the best way. It was hot, juicy, and wrapped just right — no mess, just pure deliciousness. Super satisfying and full of bold flavor. Definitely one of the best wraps I’ve had. Best Bagal Bazaar in town.
Highly recommend!“

“First time coming here and i love the bagels! The bagels are fresh and the people working there are very nice too. I had a bacon egg and cheese with a cinnamon raisin bagel and it was by far one of the best bagels I’ve had. I will come back again for sure!“

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

“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. ??“

“Such a great little place!“

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

“Great customer service..!! Excellent food.!! Had chicken sandwich coffee and a bagel. Everything was great 👍🏻 Highly recommended.“

“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“

“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.“

“Highly recommend this spot I give their chocolate a 11 out of 10 and also their freshly bagels every morning,good,clean, big dining area.friendly employees always.

Vegetarian options: What u ask for they make it happen

Parking: Easy always a free spot

Kid-friendliness: Very polite“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Variety of delish food and sandwiches“

“Came here this morning without checking the reviews. I’m very surprised that the ratings are not great as I had an amazing bagel exactly how I ordered and it was delicious. It’s a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me!

Parking: Parking in the front and back of building“

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