Pompton Lakes Bagel in Pompton Lakes, NJ is hands down one of the best bagel spots around. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with a warm, friendly smile and a welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like part of the family. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable — they know their menu inside and out, and they’re always happy to help you pick the perfect bagel or sandwich combination. The variety here is truly impressive. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic everything bagel, a sweet cinnamon raisin, or something more unique, they’ve got it all — and every single bagel is fresh, fluffy, and perfectly baked. Their spreads are creamy and flavorful, and the breakfast sandwiches are made with care and attention to detail. You can tell they take pride in serving quality food. What really stands out is how consistently good everything is. The bagels are always fresh (you can smell them baking in the morning!), the ingredients are top-notch, and the coffee is strong and satisfying. It’s the kind of place you can stop by any day of the week and know you’ll leave happy and full. The environment is also a huge plus — clean, bright, and inviting. You’ll often see locals chatting over coffee or families grabbing breakfast together, which says a lot about the sense of community Pompton Lakes Bagel has built. If you’re anywhere near Pompton Lakes, this spot is a must-visit. Great food, great people, and a true neighborhood gem. Highly recommend!

They’re the best all around, just wish they would carry oat milk for coffee or something else dairy free. But they have the best bagels in the area and I tried all of them. Staff is also great, very friendly.

Best bagels in the area. Breakfast sandwiches are so good and a lot of the time the bagels are still hot fresh out of the oven

The bagels are already great but the sandwiches are even better! The specials are so good. They have always gotten my complicated orders right and they move with purpose to get people in and out. There's no seating but it's a great choice when you are just grabbing something to go. A classic local business that just does everything well.

Everything was sooo good. Food: Delightful bagels, wish we lived closer would be a regular spot. Service: Great and quick, real nice people! Atmosphere: Seemed clean and nostalgic, loved to look around the shop.
This place makes real bagels! Not the bloated cakes most other bagels joints have morphed into. Excellently baked, excellent ingredient coverage (poppy seeds, sesame seeds, etc.) and they make a terrific bacon and egg on a hard roll, among many other breakfast options (for takeout), including pancakes. Two thumbs up. Way up! 👍👍

we've tried several bagel shops in the area, but we just keep coming back! This is our favorite!
We are (I know, annoying) very particular with our orders & they get it exactly right every time. Very quick and friendly service, and the place is spotless. Also- very reasonably priced which is a huge plus.
