Bagels Restaurants near Raritan, NJ

“I lived in Raritan for many years and I always stopped in here for breakfast. Good food. Fresh bagels. Fresh coffee. Used to love to go in there on St Patrick's Day because the owner would make corned beef and cabbage. Great place not sure if Danny still owns it but if you do, Fred says hello“

“Bagels baked fresh @ this store in back kitchen...“

“Food was delicious and service was fast and friendly“

“Modern American bagel store with a big variety of top- notch, tasty bagels, croissants, cream cheeses, drinks and juices, and hot breakfast meals. You can get a nice pork roll, egg, and cheese on a hard roll (with SP&K), or croissant, or any one of a very large variety of eggs, meats, etc. egg whites only, and even a jumbo breakfast burrito. Everything is made-to-order, so you order, pay, sit your tush down (or stand), and they bring it out to you. There's plenty of parking, and tables inside. Mr. Cashier could try smiling a little more, or even just a little.
They did get my sons' order incorrect, but it was soon rectified. All the food was sumptuous and well made. I'm sure you'll enjoy this bagel restaurant as much as we did.“

“Kettlemans is the only bagel spot I got to, the best of the best. Customer service is welcoming, friendly, and kind. And the bagels are the freshest and tastiest !“

“Always the freshest bagels in town! I love coming here on the weekends. Never disappoints highly recommend 🤗 always get our orders right, amazing staff!!!“

“Fantastic variety of delicious bagels, salads, sandwiches, pastries and more. Great coffee too! Staff is friendly. Plenty of seating. Great catering options too!“

“The bagels here are the best anywhere around. I love the Everything bagels the most.

However, I noticed one thing on checking out. When you put your card in the slot it gives you an option to tip: 10%, 15% and 20%.
BUT THERE IS NO OPTION FOR NO TIP. It forces you to leave a tip in order to check out. This is unarmed robbery. Why should I tip someone behind a counter who simply picked bagels out of the basket, put them in a bag and hand it to you.

This is utter nonsense! If I were waited on, like they bring my food to a table, then ok. From 2000 and back through time, the business owners would have laughed their heads off at such a notion. This is insanity. They want a handout for just doing their jobs. No one ever tipped me for doing my job (as an accountant). So why should I tip someone for just doing theirs?

So from now on I pay cash and will pocket the exact change. They rig up this nonsense because the owners do not pay their help sufficiently and expect the general public to make up the difference. BULLCRAP“

“We chose not to recommend this place. The most expensive bagel shop we have ever been to. Charged $1.25 for an extra piece of cheese. Charged $7 for a bagel with egg and scallion cream cheese, an egg and cheese sandwich is listed at $3.99. They add $3 for the scallions in the cheese. The other clerk was rude to customers. Will not be going back.“

“I was visiting the area and decided to stop in. I was immediately greeted and taken care of by who I want to believe is the owner. Lovely lady! Very charismatic and made me feel welcome. As if I been patroning here my entire life. The jalapeño turkey bagel was amazing. I would definitely come back and take a drive because of the service.“

“Perhaps the owner can reach out to me, this is now the 3rd time in the last several months I’ve placed an online pickup order and I’ve been shorted bagels. I keep coming back because I love your bagels, but you need to get it right.“

“Really enjoy Lil Pickles for a quick bite to eat. Conveniently located not far from I-78, the place has a nice local favorites feel to it. The owner is very friendly and the menu selection is pretty great. I’ve really enjoyed their bagels the last couple visits, just the right texture, and the bomber sandwiches are great. The crunch of the hash brown really adds to the experience for your standard breakfast sandwich. I recommend you give them a try.“

“I’m very pleased with the service and food here. Serval months of walk in and phone orders and it’s been perfect every time. Definitely recommend breakfast here. Egg, cheddar and hot sauce on a roll or bagel, with or without pork roll, love it.“

“Bagels 4U, or Why Good Things Come to Those Who Queue

There are two things one notices immediately upon entering Bagels 4U: the wonderful smell of freshly made bagels and the rather impressive number of people who have arrived before you.

The line is longer than one might ordinarily consider reasonable for breakfast, but this is easily explained. The bagels are excellent, wonderfully fresh, and apparently the entire neighborhood has discovered this unfortunate fact.

The portions, meanwhile, are so generous that one suspects the staff has never been introduced to the concept of moderation. Whatever you order, you receive a proper abundance of it.

And so one waits, surrounded by fellow enthusiasts, contemplating the curious human willingness to stand patiently in line for something that will disappear in approximately seven minutes.

Excellent bagels, generous portions, and a queue that serves as its own advertisement.

Some things are worth waiting for. These bagels are among them.“

“Everything was delicious 😋! I had the Lox and Loaded on Everything Bagel 🥯. I’m a native New Yorker and the bagels were outstanding.“

“Tasty clean and fast service! They always acknowledge you when you walk through the door for the smile and a good morning… 🌞 once you try them you’re going to like them for sure!😎“

“Very overpriced IMO. I was charged 12.50 for a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel, and a large coffee. The sandwich was very good but I don't want to pay that much for that type of meal.The staff was nice enough, but communication was a bit difficult because of their limited English.“

“It was an acceptable sausage egg and cheese. I have to say it did take a while but I enjoyed the sandwich. The atmosphere is a little dated but I mean it’s bagels 4 u and not atmosphere 4 u so I can’t ding them for that. I also found out that this place is a chain. That means I’ll have to visit more and do a cross sectional analysis of my experiences at this franchise.“
