Bagels Restaurants near Old Bridge, NJ

“I think that the bagels here are really my favorite bagels in all of NJ. The insides are thick and fluffy, while the outside is slightly crisp, just like a bagel should be. Usually I get a half dozen and an egg and cheese on a bagel to-go. They also have really nice flavored cream cheese.“

“good local bagel store. Bagels are not large and taste more on the plain side. the service should be just a little more organized because it seems like there are a lot of people , but still have wait for the order to complete. this particular area does not have a lot of bagels store, so I see a quite some people traffic going thru this store. so, nothing bad , but nothing extraordinary.“

“I cant even begin to describe how utterly satisfied I am with the service I was given at this Dunkin location. As I entered the drive thru, even just the atmosphere gave me a euphoric feeling, like the bright energies of the workers were reaching me through the building. They took my order very efficiently and were very very nice to me, since I am not speaking English very good. I speak Spanish and the worker, I’m not sure of his name, he had glasses on and a nice smile it might have been Haroon if I saw the name tag correctly. He assisted me with amazing Spanish language that he learned in school, which even though it wasn’t perfect, it still the effort that counts. Anyways, he made my drink which tasted so incredible and delicious that I cant wait to come again tomorrow to try it again. This is an amazing location and I look forward to coming here!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Everything is delicious.“

“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 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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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. 👍“

“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!“

“The only place we'll go. Very high quality product and a great atmosphere. They know their customers names and orders, and always greet new folks with a smile and great service. Their food is always fresh, always great. Our week isn't complete without stopping in to grab breakfast and see their wonderful staff.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 .“

“The bagels were just as they are supposed to be - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We got a dozen to bring back to NH with us because they were that good. Service was friendly and fast. I'd go again if I'm ever in the area.“

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

“$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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“Variety of delish food and sandwiches“

“I just had the grilled French toast bagel. It is the best little breakfast treat! The bagels here are top tier!!“

“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.“

“Perfect choice for my son's wedding morning!! The breakfast wraps were outstanding!! Everyone raved about them! Bagels are delicious! Mo was very accommodating and professional! I highly recommend their catering services, I've used them a couple if times and it's always a hit. Thank you Mo.“
