Pretty expensive. Sliced lox on a plain bagel, and a bacon Taylor ham egg and cheese on a roll, and hot coffee ran me $30. I get it though. Paying staff a living wage and ingredient inflation is killing small businesses. At least it was very delicious. The employees are very consistent as well. Besides the price, I thought it was amazing.

I don’t know what’s going on but every time I eat here I get deathly sick with severe diarrhea. I’m not sure if it’s bad coffee or they’re not cleaning their coffee machine or perhaps it’s the food but I literally get sick every single time I eat here. This place has really gone downhill as far as quality. I stopped ordering any sandwich on a roll because the roll was so stale and chewy. It was disgusting. The bagels are OK but the meat and eggs and cheese that they use seem to be very poor quality unfortunately I have to stop coming here.

I ordered an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese, the cream cheese tasted sour and just off. I only ate half of the sandwich and still got a belly ache. Currently regretting my decision of visiting this bagel shop, and hope for the sake of the locals that I just happened to have a bad experience.

One of the town’s staples that every bagel lover in the area knows. No frills, just great bagels, consistent and always get the job done. Parking can be a bit annoying, and it gets packed in the mornings, but it’s worth it. Now that they’re no longer cash-only, that’s a huge plus. Prices are low, but the quality is top-notch. Although I've been going here for over 10 years I can only speak on the bagels because I don't venture too deep into the menu. the coffee wont change your life but you'll still take it.

Ordered a light toast on a tomato bagel, there are many 3 tomatoes slices barely edible since most of them are hard from the yellow/green portions of root. Then when ordering the everything w/ cream cheese it’s 2 inches thick make it make sense . Poor quality to serve to customers.

I have been coming to Bergen Boulevard Bagels for years and there bagels really are delicious however today was a terrible experience. I ordered 2 egg sandwiches, a bagel with cream cheese and a 4th bagel cut with cream cheese on the side (my 6 year old is starting to loose her teeth so easier to eat that way!) The manager refused to slice the one plain bagel for me. When I explained it’s for my daughter he said it’s not their policy. Not sure how it’s not a policy to slice a bagel at a bagel shop but seems crazy. I asked again kindly and he still refused. Now I understand if I was ordering a dozen bagels and asked for them sliced but one as part of a larger order seems not too much to ask for and really just a hospitable way to run a bagel shop. Anyways very disappointing!

A nice bagel shop with all three Trimming, it use to be the best bagel in the area, but I think something changed, the bagel is not as athletic as it use to be
If you want to eat an American bagel ( not jewish bagel) its the places for you

The bagels were tasty, but staff seemed unclear on what ‘kosher’ actually means.

I get it—times have changed, and with inflation, prices everywhere have gone up. I don’t mind paying more when the quality matches the cost. But sadly, that wasn’t the case today.

This bagel shop used to be a staple for us since we were 16—huge, delicious bagels stuffed for a fair price. Today, I picked up two turkey, cheese, and egg white bagels with tomato at $9 each for my wife and me. Given the times, I didn’t expect $4 bagels anymore, but I did expect a decent breakfast.

Instead, what we got was underwhelming: the bagel wasn’t toasted, the cheese wasn’t melted, just two thin slices of turkey, and a plain egg white. The tomato seemed to throw everything off, leaving the whole sandwich confused between hot and cold.

I understand inflation, but when you’re charging nearly $10 for a bagel, the quality should reflect the price. Unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing bagels I’ve had in years—especially from a place that was once a beloved go-to.

I don’t know if it’s new ownership and a new workforce, but today this went from one of the best bagel shops in the country to a place I’ll have to think twice about returning to. It seems the unmelted cheese & underwhelming breakfast is a new norm.

Yesterday, TO GO, had two scrambled eggs with American cheese on an untoasted plain croissant. Ordered with no salt, pepper, ketchup. Drove to ShopRite Pal Park, exited vehicle with bagged sandwich and a cold can of seltzer. Unwrapped foil - PERFECTION! Warmed croissant, melted cheese (they use 2 slices!) and soft, fluffy scrambled eggs! Ate half, shopped, returned to vehicle, finished sandwich - still warm! Many thanks!! Keep up your tremendous effort! Your bagels are divine (also)!

When people order a breakfast sandwich they typically expect their cheese to be melted and for the bagel to be hot. I live around the corner from here and multiple times I come home, open my sandwich and the bagel is still cold and cheese unmelted. Or you order a toasted cream cheese bagel just to come home to realize the bagel is cold and not toasted. You have one job.

Honestly only reason they are still in business is because of the severe lack of bagel choices in this immediate area.

Great hot bagels.
