Bagels Restaurants near Monmouth Junction, NJ

“best bagels in town!!! Bobby is great!!“

“I’m from Brooklyn where the bagels are world known to be the Best. But that being said, the name gives you an idea how wonderful these bagels are. Stopped in for a quick bite after dog training class for my “ENZO “. I got myself a garlic bagel, tuna and onion toasted. I was truly blown away , brought me back home. If you want the best bagel I have found in NJ, this is it. I highly recommend!!!! The owner and staff are super friendly and people pleasers. Now every week after training this is my go to.“

“always delicious! the staff is so friendly, warm and welcoming. love it here!“

“great food at reasonable pieces“

“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.“

“This bagel shop is so good. I own a business right down the road from there and I go to bagel fresh frequently and get a toasted sesame bagel with bacon egg and cheese. It’s delicious. In fact i think they have some of the best breakfast sandwiches around. I really love their bagels. Not to mention, they are always nice when I go in. People say hi and they don’t rush you. 5 star everything!“

“⭐️ 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!“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Always the freshest bagels in town! I love coming here on the weekends. Never disappoints highly recommend 🤗 always get our orders right, amazing staff!!!“

“Best bagels ever! I won’t go anywhere else.“

“Such a nice owner! Affordable prices unlike the mainstream businesses. Fast and kind service.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“$3 Nonsense fees when you order online for pickup. For a $13.75 order, I am charged an extra $3 or so. Why am I penalized for choosing NOT to phone in? Most restaurants view phone-in calls as costly and occupying staff time. It's my fault for not noticing before I placed the order. I used the website Preferred By Business, which is usually their POS vendor site, which should have the lowest expense for the shop. Lesson learned, call in your order. Side note, their breakfast sandwich has 2 thin slices of pork roll and 1 slice of cheese. It was pathetic. Bagel was fine.“

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

“We chose not to recommend this place. The most expensive bagel shop we have ever been to. Charged $1.25 for an extra piece of cheese. Charged $7 for a bagel with egg and scallion cream cheese, an egg and cheese sandwich is listed at $3.99. They add $3 for the scallions in the cheese. The other clerk was rude to customers. Will not be going back.“

“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.“

“Bagel was good, not great. Son got a crazy good oreo overload bagel. Crazy expensive at$10. Did not have the nice chewy texture i look for. Service was good, but when I was waiting in the wrong area to order, no one said anything to me until I figured it out myself.“

“I think this place is pretty decent overall. It's a solid spot for decently priced bagels, flavors pretty good but I wouldn't say it's the best. If you live nearby or in the area it's a solid choice and I don't think you'll be disappointed but it's nothing to write home about. I did try the loaded pork roll burger since it was made famous by Guy Fieri, and I appreciate him putting local spots like this on the map but its pretty overrated and not that great. Burger itself is pretty mid but the pork roll and bagel is good, I'd say pork roll burger is a 6/10, and the bagels are 8/10. The Reuben is surprisingly pretty good though.“

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

“Quite a few changes under new ownership. The food quality is still fine - especially good bagels. But the selection and extras are a bit less, sandwiches are not piled as high and are more expensive – to be expected. There is also an added charge for lettuce and tomato.“

“Very nice and friendly Great bagels“

“Very overpriced IMO. I was charged 12.50 for a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel, and a large coffee. The sandwich was very good but I don't want to pay that much for that type of meal.The staff was nice enough, but communication was a bit difficult because of their limited English.“

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯“
