If you don't intend to make real shakshuka. Don't write that you have shakshuka on the menu. And especially don't put a picture of real shakshuka that works. You serve a poached egg on hot tomato paste and it's really not tasty. This is the first time I've come across such a shakshuka. To tell the truth, I was shocked by what I got.

Bagel Munch — The Place Where Half of Passaic Officially Starts Its Day
There’s something about walking into Bagel Munch in the morning that just feels right. Maybe it’s the warm air that hits you after the freezing Main Ave wind, maybe it’s the smell of fresh bagels doing their avodah, or maybe it’s the fact that everyone there looks exactly like you: tired, hungry, and pretending they woke up on time.
Bagel Munch is the kind of spot where the line moves fast, the service is friendly, and somehow the staff already knows what you're about to order before you even reach the counter. It’s like they have ruach hakodesh but specifically for breakfast preferences.
The bagels come out consistently fresh, the spreads are stacked, and everything looks so good that every time I walk in telling myself, “Just one bagel,” I leave with enough carbs to feed a small yeshiva. The place is clean, organized, and always gives off that classic neighborhood vibe — like a little hub where everyone stops for a minute before starting the day’s marathon.
It’s also the unofficial headquarters for early-morning schmoozing, post-Shacharis regrouping, and watching people try to convince themselves that a sprinkle donut counts as breakfast “because it’s round like a bagel.”
Whether you're grabbing something quick before work, treating yourself after a long morning, or just running in because you forgot to buy bagels for the week (again), Bagel Munch never disappoints.
Reliable, delicious, and full of good energy — Passaic wouldn’t be Passaic without it.

Really grateful for such a clutch Kosher breakfast spot so close to my home. My job and work schedule don’t often give me enough time to cook breakfast at my house, but with a place like this right around the corner, you can’t go wrong. Best home fries EVER!!! Thank you, Bagel Munch!

Food is okay but customer service is very very bad
In a state littered with bagels stores this store is so disappointing. Smallest worst bagel I've had in a long time, with barely a smear of cream cheese. Another point of this place is half of what's for sale is not only completely out in the open but right in front of all coughing and sneezing customers, there must be some sort of health code about this.

Really awesome bagels! It's better to take-out than dine in, the store is pretty messy, and customer service isn't so good.
