The best bagels (and croissants) I've ever had. I don't know what they do in the kitchen but their dough is unlike anything else I've ever tried. It is crispy on the outside, and a delicious soft and chewy texture on the inside that almost feels like melted butter. My boyfriend lives in Randolph so every time I visit him it is a treat to go here!

Alfa Bagels is hands-down the best bagel shop in North Jersey! The bagels are always delicious and fresh—crispy on the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside, and you can taste the quality in every bite. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming; they always greet you with a smile and even remember your usual order if you’re a regular, which makes the whole experience feel personal and genuine.
The shop has that perfect local bagel spot vibe—busy but cozy, full of regulars, and stocked with tons of great options beyond just bagels. Plus, their prices are super reasonable, especially for the quality you get.
Alfa Bagels has definitely become my go-to breakfast spot in North Jersey. If you’re in the area and want a true classic bagel experience done right, this is the place to go!

One of the best bagel places around if you like traditional NY style bagels that aren’t extra soft and fluffy, like other places.
I know people that will drive an hour round trip for these bagels.

4th time in a row that I call in asking for an everything bagel toasted BEC SPK with a hash brown and get a Everything bagel not toasted SEG with just ketchup. Will be trying other options to see if they will get the order right

It gets busy in the mornings but pretty worth it, cuz their bagels are bomb and the sandwiches slap.

I’m very disappointed in the prices compared to what you’re getting. I ordered THEC on what I thought would be a Rye bagel - it was $10. No egg and no bagel. We also ordered a side of bacon - $7 for 5 pieces of bacon? That’s absurd. I’ll stick to my regular bagel place.
Best bagels in town. Hands down the best. But when you call to place an order, the person on the phone can’t speak English. When you pick your order up, the customer service is pretty bad, cut dry, and nasty With all that said probably worth it for the bagels they pump out

Food quality: okay. Customer service: zero stars. When I walked in, three employees were standing behind the register, chatting amongst themselves and completely ignoring me. They all saw me but made no effort to help. After a few minutes, one of them finally asked for my order. Not sure what the issue was, but I’m definitely not coming back.
