“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.“

“Quick stop to purchase some bagels.Small but sufficient and orderly parking lot. Friendly service and good selection of bagels. They even had a jalapeno bagel. There was a sign for spinach bagel but sadly none made today. 6 bagels = $7
Will be back again.“

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

“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!“

“I don’t typically leave reviews, but this place is great. I am in town for business and have heard a lot about “New Jersey bagels”. Not only did I receive a fantastic bacon egg & cheese but the gentleman behind the counter separates this place from others. He could tell I was in a bit of a rush and was conscious of my time while still delivering the quality that people talk about. I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back.“

“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!“

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

“Slightly chewy delicious Bagels with crackly crust, generously sized.“

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

“⭐️ 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!“

“Ok so for one, be ready to pay like 20% more because this is a mom and pop and they don’t have economies of scale like fast food does. But if you want a Time Machine back to a time when diners were diners and brand names weren’t everything, then come here! The lady was so nice , I asked if they give their delicious macaroni salad with anything that is bought, but it was only with some items from the menu. But I ordered a veggie quesadilla (off menu) and she gave me a cup of the macaroni salad! Just out of the kindness of her heart. And the food was ACTUALLY really really good!

Come here if you reminisce of a time when service and good quality food mattered.

High praises! Please keep up the good work and I’m happy to have you as a local food stop for the community!“

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

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

“$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.“

“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“

“Fantastic variety of delicious bagels, salads, sandwiches, pastries and more. Great coffee too! Staff is friendly. Plenty of seating. Great catering options too!“

“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.“

“Really awesome bagels! Typical bagel shop / deli fare. I like the variety of bagels - they have everything, egg everything and 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. It looks like some reviewers have complained about the staff, but the staff always welcome us when we walk in the door, they are kind, friendly and joke around with us. You cant ask for better! 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 tasty.“

“Very nice and friendly Great bagels“

“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.“

“We came on vacation to Princeton, NJ from Texas, and I was dying to try their Taylor ham/pork roll & their famous lox bagel and I am so glad I did. It was amazing. We also ordered a bagel with egg and cheese and it was so good. Coffee was a bit disappointing tbh but overall we liked their bagel sandwiches.“

“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.“

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯“

“🥯 🥯 🥯 Located right off of Harrison St. in Princeton, the Bagel Nook is pumping out delicious bagel combinations and wild cream cheese options. It was our first time visiting and we were slightly overwhelmed with all of the options. We opted for an egg and cheese on hash-brown bagel, pork roll, egg and cheese on wheat along with a rainbow bagel with cream cheese. The egg sandwiches did take awhile but was ultimately worth it. It seems a lot of the negative reviews are focusing in on the service. We experienced friendly service, but we did note it took a while for two egg sandwiches. It would be nice to have these
options closer so we could try some
of the wild combinations like fruity pebbles, doritos, oreo cream cheese, and cheetos. The bagels were delicious - def woukd recommend!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐“

“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.“

“The hospitality and food was 2nd to none!“
