Bagels Restaurants near Parlin, NJ

“Not sure why all the negative reviews although maybe I was just lucky. Ordered 4 bagels with pork roll egg and cheese and 2 with cream cheese. Bagels were large and fresh. Plenty of pork roll and cheese.Delicious!! Order was correctly prepared. Cook and counter gentleman was nice. No lady at counter as in some reviews. Ordered ahead and food was ready when I arrived. No complaints here. Enjoyable breakfast.“

“Store is excellent!!! Food is amazing!!! Try it!!!!“

“Great food and friendly service!!!“

“Excellent bagels, great portions for reasonable prices. Ample seating inside with some groceries available for purchase. Friendly staff, too!“

“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 service great food excellent customer service“

“Everything is delicious.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“These bagels were, in fact, amazing! I couldn't decide and went for the sesame. Both sides were covered, so bonus if you're like me and eat a bagel half at a time. I also got the veggie cream cheese. Delicious. Maybe less stuff mixed in, but great flavor. The apple turnover was also delicious. A good amount of filling and not too messy, but still flaky.

We stopped by around 9AM, so everything was still fresh. My only regret is i didn't get an extra bagel to go. I'll be back.“

“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“

“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.“

“One of the best bagel places in town. Here for $10, I can actually get cream cheese and a good serving of lox on a bagel, and even add onion and tomato on it. Normally, I'd have to go to NYC or make it myself to get a good cream cheese and lox. Also, based on one of the other reviews, I tried the Fat Marlena. Great breakfast or brunch wrap if you want something filling and not greasy. If you want something lightly sweet to take home, their French Toast bagels are great toasted with butter. (we had them with some maple butter on hand from a farmers market, and it was a-maz-ing!) Not in the mood for a bagel today? They have tons of other great breakfast options all under $10!“

“Price was great. Service was awesome. Taste of the food was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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“

“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. 👍“

“Surprisingly, the room is bigger. Friendly staff. And the location is smack in the middle of where we need to go. Breakfast was included, and the staff asked what room we were staying in and welcomed us to a nice selection. As said on their site, if you used their parking service, it'll cost you 60. The garage next door offers 31 overnight. We loved the place and expect to come back“

“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!“

“⭐️ 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!“

“Attention Bagel Bazaar Milltown customers I found Hector!! Hes at the former crazy bagels east brunswick next to the bakery and not only are the bagels delicious as they should be he made me breakfast this morning and as usual perfect. He seems the only person I know that listens when someone wants fried soft eggs Thumanns ham sliced thin with cheese on a buttered bagel absolutely delicious. Im so happy they brought him back and you gotta go seem him you won't be disappointed. Ill be going back daily. Thank you to the owner 🙏 😊 ☺️“

“Mikey Bagels never disappoints! Bagels are fresh, chewy, and perfectly boiled — everything and sesame were both excellent. Cream cheese is generous and tasty. Service is lightning fast and super friendly, even at 7 AM. The place has that classic NYC bagel shop energy — love it. My go-to spot!“

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

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

“This is an incredible neighborhood gem! I saw this place was recommended on NextDoor so when I was in Monroe, NJ for a doctors appt on Thurs. 1/29, I made a point to stop here. I ordered a cappuccino(or maybe a latte, I can't remember) and the #5 breakfast caprese. Both were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! Coffee drink had cinnamon added which was an extra sieve all touch. And they brought both to my table. It was a bit in the pricier side but the portions and food quality made it worth it. Highly recommend! Just wish I lived closer! I want to try their perogis.“

“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 .“

“I live in Austin, TX, and I love how I can have authentic New York bagels delivered to my front door. I am a new customer, and I love Just Bagels. I love their customer service, they answer their phone, and they answer my questions on Facebook. I will be using them again, and again. I love everything about them so far. My boyfriend is the bagel eater, and I ordered 2 dozen for him. The flavors we got were Everything, Sesame, Cinnamon Raisin, and Blueberry. He is in love with their blueberry bagels. Those are his favorite, but he loves them all. Thanks Just Babels for the wonderful bagels. We’ll be trying new flavors next time, but for sure blueberry again. :)“

“great bagels, friendly staff and community geared company that's always giving back“

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

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!“

“Variety of delish food and sandwiches“

“BEST SANDWICHES ! Delicious and fresh ingredients!“

“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!“

“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“

“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“

“$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.“

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

“Very welcoming and warm owner! It was my first time here, I was visiting my aunt in the area with my sister and randomly came across this bagel spot. We ordered a mini bagel with strawberry cream cheese… and guess what? Only $2!!! Honestly where can you even find that nowadays with inflation?
On top of that, he was incredibly kind and even gave us a huge bag of assorted bagels. Such a sweet gesture. Super nice experience overall🥰please please highly recommend this spot!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“I love their bagels and sandwiches. I used to religiously go to Rahway Bagels until this place opened. Their bagels taste just as good without the long waits and doesn’t run out of the most popular choices. I’ve always had great service & good bagels from here. It’s my new go-to spot.“

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

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

“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.“

“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“
