Bagels Restaurants near Rutherford, NJ

“I try to come here every week. It's nice to have just a "normal" deli in town, especially on the west side. (As you can see from my reviews, I'm not a fan of hype over practicality ?). Staff is friendly and they get to know you, and care about you as their customer. Bagels are good of course - and I like that their burgers are not huge. It's silly, but I got excited when they started selling rainbow bagels. Prices are reasonable given the state of prices in general. It's much better coming here for a normal meal than paying for an expensive restaurant on Park Ave.“

“They have SO much of my money, LOL. It's my favorite bagel place on the planet, despite the very unusual (and sometimes forgetful, I hate to admit) service style. Your order will start and finish with the same employee. Personally, I rather like this style of service because I really get to interact with the staff in a more one-on-one way (I like feeling like I'm NOT moving down a line of human automatons like Chipotle). There are times, however, I wish it was just faster and less friendly, LOL. The owner, Olga, is the sweetest woman in the world. She decorates for every holiday and always looks her best. I also love that she works just the same as every other employee; she doesn't manage from afar. I always get the impression her employees love her, too, especially since many of the workers have been there FOREVER. THE BAGELS ARE THE BEST! The texture, the stretch, the size, the flavor: all the best. They have some deli products too, so a great place for lunch as well. Order a taylor ham, egg, and cheddar cheese on a toasted and buttered everything bagel with salt and pepper. Or you can order my other favorite: scallion cream cheese, lox, and extra red onion on a salt bagel (not toasted). When I am not in the tri-state area, THIS is the breakfast I miss the most. When people visit me, THIS is where I take them. The cinnamon rolls are also excellent. They are not made in-house, but are made locally and are amazing.“

“The best bagels hands down! This has become our "go to" stop each time we pass through NY for bagels. Great customer service. We can call ahead and they have the order ready for our multiple (and large) family order with everything perfect! Super helpful and also help with bringing the many bags out to the car! So much appreciation! Thanks guys! Can't wait to see you again!“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Amazing staff, amazing food (better than my bubbies, but don’t tell her) absolutely loved it!!“

“Delicious, great value for money bagels. I got the cream cheese and lox bagel and my friend got an olive cream cheese bagel. The bagel itself had a great texture and was not over filled. It was cut up nicely which made it convenient to eat on the go. Highly recommended“

“Great house special bagels - everything bagel with lox, tomato, capers and scallion cream cheese. Iced coffee was good too, strong and not too sweet with flavorings. Staff was really welcoming and helpful on our first visit. Definitely check this place out if you’re looking for a good bagel. I’d go back without a doubt.“

“It was my first time there but certainly will not be my last. The cashiers knew we weren't from there but super super nice. I had THE BEST quiche I have EVER had. I joked that they sprinkled crack or something on it because I wanted to buy the WHOLE pie . It was beyond fluffy and delicious. It was mushroom, caramelized onion and cheese. I also has a side of bacon and home fries plus a hazelnut latte. It was less than $30 and beyond filling. I took 1/2 home because it was so much food. I didn't think to take a pic before I started eating, so no, that's not the whole quiche lol. Customer service was top tier and considering that NYC has a reputation for rude people (not true...mostly), this place makes you feel special!“

“Absolutely the best! The bagels were so delicious and all the cream cheese were delicious. We went to the ones in Queens NYC The staff were great , Freedie was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!“

“I finally checked out PopUp Bagels, and the hype is totally justified. You absolutely have to get here early—like, when they’re still pulling those hot, fresh bagels out of the oven and tossing them into the bin! Nothing beats that feeling (or smell!) to kick off a New York morning.

I grabbed the three-pack with scallion cream cheese. All the bagels were great, but the Salt Bagel was the runaway winner for me. That perfect salty crunch outside with the hot, chewy inside…Unbelievably delicious !

Grab your hot bagel and a cup of coffee and you are all set. It's the ideal start to any day in the city! 🥯☕️“

“Turkey , egg and , cheese on an everything bagel. Best spot around !“

“My brother and I needed something quick to eat for a late breakfast, so this was right by us. Read the reviews here and I agree: Excellent food, decent prices and quality service. Kept it simple with a sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Coffee was good too!

There’s not a whole lot of dining room space, so you’ll either have to take it to go or get lucky to find an empty table.“

“Absolutely the best! The bagels were so delicious and all the cream cheese were delicious. We went to the ones in Queens NYC The staff were great , Freedie was phenomenal! Will definitely come back!“

“Amazing bagels and spreads! Sam’s the black and white cookies! We had v one and then made a second trip back to get the more!“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“Carlos has been making bagels for years! Glad to see him start his own business!“

“The bagels of my Brooklyn youth!“

“I mean, the obvious 5 star review. Don't let them scare you off the belly - much saltier, true (don't add capers), but you can really taste the salmon for what it is that way. Lots of nice, decently priced gifts to take home, easy ordering system, they move relatively quickly. Chocolate babka is killer.“

“Fresh bagels, hand rolled and made onsite. Can’t beat the selection. I thought it would be a tourist trap due to its location, but it beat every other shop we tried.“

“It always a pleasure visiting JV Hot Bagels. The menu are impressive, with a variety of mouth-watering options that are bursting with flavor. The service is impeccable, with friendly and attentive staff who make my wife and I feel like VIPs. The owner even remembers are names.To top it off, we were surprised with complimentary meals from time to time. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable experience. You won't be disappointed!"“

“I always get great service in this place. The food is fantastic (especially for the price). Their salads are made fresh on the spot... they cut everything fresh as they need em... they don't store the lettuce pre cut in tubs like most restaurants do. This is just an example of what sets Ben's apart from most places. Now, yes, I know they pride themselves for their bagels, but truth be told, I don't eat bagels... but my wife LOVES their bagels. -Boots“

“Wayne Hot Bagels supplied breakfast for Teacher Appreciation Week and did a fabulous job! They were friendly, courteous, patient and worked with me to find items that fit within the budget. They even personally delivered for us free of charge. They truly were a pleasure to deal with and I would definitely use them again for future events!“

“I loooooove B Bagel! The brothers who own it are so nice and I'm really happy to support their business. My husband and I usually go on Sunday and there is something about waiting in the line that's oddly enjoyable... not to mention the food is totally worth the wait! I have been getting the Levant on a Sesame or Everything Bagel and it hits the spot for me. My husband always gets the Big B without cheese and has decided it's his favorite meal in Jersey City and favorite breakfast of all time. The bagels and bagel sandwiches are all awesome, the inside of the shop is busy and friendly, couldn't recommend it more!

What's absolutely underrated here are the pastries. I got a sprinkle cookie today which was literally life changing and I will be getting it every week from now on.“

“Tried this spot today for the first time
I ordered three sandwiches
Turkey, bacon, egg & cheese on a plain bagel: classic

Garlic bagel with pastrami, egg & cheese. They don’t skimp on the pastrami

Turkey sausage, egg & cheese on a croissant.

I found the bagels to be soft enough for my kid which was a big deal for him.

Ordered two iced macchiatos without the sugar which was really good

The lady at the register was sweet and welcoming.

It got busy and they handled it really well, it wasn’t a mad house like some places get.“

“There are tons of bagel places in NJ, but we always find ourselves comparing to House of Bagels. Definitely our favorite bagels - they’re so soft and fluffy on the inside, great crust with plenty of seasoning (our whole family loves everything bagel). What really seals the deal for us is that the bagels freeze and reheat beautifully. They taste almost as good as new. Our kids have them almost every morning 😂 We’ve moved quite far away but always stock up on our favorite bagels whenever we have a reason to be back in the area.“

“Bagel House always delivers excellent service and delicious food! The team is friendly, efficient, and makes you feel welcome the moment you walk in. Their bagels are fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made — whether it’s breakfast or lunch, you can always count on a great meal. It’s a go-to spot we truly enjoy and highly recommend!“

“Every neighborhood in this partisan city has its best place that makes bagels fresh all day and serves them with cream cheese, lox, or whitefish. This is that place for Greenwich Village. The bagel has gorgeous texture and there’s always something hot—straight out of the oven. This isn’t just round bread, this is a proper NYC bagel. Live dangerously: Get the pumpernickel.“

“the food is delicious, the service and efficiency is on point! For NYC these prices are very affordable!“

“Was visiting NYC and we found this place by accident, so happy we did! The staff were very nice and professional. The food was delicious, and the bagels were massive! The shop was clean and had a nice seating area. Would definitely visit again!“

“I like their bagels but their prices for everything else are quite inflated. They charge almost forty dollars for a pound of whitefish salad. So I buy bagels there and food elsewhere.“

“Never had a bad experience there, People friendly. They take care to remember what you order and how you liked it. I think they know probably 90% of the names of their daily customers. Like i said people friendly. It's time to add your name to the list.

Parking: Available all the time

Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for kids“

“Absolutely the best bagel there is. Each one no matter the flavor is a delight. And their food that they put on the bagel is delicious. Get there before 3;30 PM if you want sliced cheese because they close the slicer at 3;30. I know if I get there at 3;32 PM the slicer is off. So I get tuna fish instead and it’s about as good as it gets. The staff is friendly and do a good job. What a place!“

“Thank you Brooklyn Bagel for an amazing luncheon after my son’s Bar Mitzvah!! You were so easy to work with and everything was so good! I highly recommend your catering services!!“

“Found my new bagel store. Used to go to Modern but the place went so far downhill (they use a Panini Press to toast a bagel, yuk), then I saw River Rd Bagels. Wow, what a world of difference. Better prices, much better food and a great team! Definitely my new bagel store! Thank you!!!!!!!“

“The most delicious bagel I have ever eaten! Cream cheese with pistachios and raisins. Thank you!“

“AWwsome Begel ,great place .. we are out of town or‘s and we were looking for a authentic bagel place and you hit the mark it was amazing when we get back here we will check you out again the staff was wonderful very friendly and helpful our bellies were happy😁“

“Amazing place. Our favorite in NYC. Great food. Wonderful people.“

“Classic neighborhood staple. Been having the ham and egg since I was a kid. The two man team behind the counter can make you a sandwich in about 2-3 mins so if you’re running late for the F train you can still get a solid (and cheap) breakfast. The ice coffee is pretty good for deli coffee as well (ask for 1/2 sugar with vanilla!)“

“Apollo’s Lox Bagels are incredibly delicious and definitely among the best bagels in NYC. The hype is truly justified.

The bagel rolls are delicately toasted, and the salmon and cream cheese combination is perfect. A real treat!

Luckily, the shop in the East Village isn't as crowded as the location north of Washington Square Park. We didn't even have to wait 10 minutes on a Friday at 3 p.m., which is practically a world record in NYC. The team is quick and appropriately friendly.

Since there's hardly any seating, it's best to take your bagels to go and eat them in the chilled Tomkins Square Park.

Highly recommended!“

“I wish I was a New Yorker just so I could eat here every week! SO worth the hype! The line moves so quickly, the staff is so sweet & the BAGELS are melt in your mouth delicious. In our 5 day NY trip we ate here twice 🙂‍↕️ Leons is a MUST on your foodie list & deserves a 100/10 !!“

“Absolutely THE BEST bagels on Earth! A staple of the community, generous and giving, family-run business. One of those places where “everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came.” Every Monday!“

“Hands downbeat! Best friggen Bagel Spot on the planet. Bang for the buck. Deliciousness done right!“

“A very positive experience. We had breakfast here several times while our stay in New York. They have a wide selection of bagels and fillings. The service is fast and friendly. You can take it to go or eat it right there. A great way to start the day.“

“Excelente los desayunos..“

“the best of everything!! I so love 5his place! i'ts just what king needed!!🥰“

“LOVE...LOVE...this place..the people are AMAZING !!Smiles all around.. They always welcome me with open arms.. The BEST DAMN TEAM I HAVE EVER SEEN..They work together very well...I SEE THEM EVERY DAY WORKING THERE BUTTS OFF....The line is always out the door....BUT They move very fast!!!!
Guys I love you from the bottom of my BELLY ...LOL....AND HEART...“

“Incredible place with a great attention. You may have to wait a little to order your bagel but once you’re inside it’s quick. The food is amazing, I ordered the BLT bagel and it was really really good. I recommend ordering the orange juice, one of the best.“

“Bagel Belly serves perfectly chewy, fresh, and full of flavor bagels city can offer. The store is always clean, and the vibe is welcoming. On top of that, the staff is incredibly kind and efficient, making the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or just visiting, this spot is a must. Highly recommend!“

“Broadway Bagel is good for a lot of things but it's better to tell you what its not good for because it's smaller. their pastrami, very chewy & fatty. I got a wrap & was horrible because I was fighting with the pastrami to bite off a piece & then getting fat in your mouth is disgusting. At times when I get a breakfast sandwich with bacon it's like that's when they choose to hide fatty bacon instead of giving you well cooked bacon. How does an establishment do that to their customers? The tuna wrap w/ French fries, I usually order but now they're adding lettuce when before it was onions & avocado now they're putting celery & adding lettuce. why did they mess with such a great sandwich? Certain staff I work with like their blueberry pancakes, homefries, BLT. But like I said too many times I bought a BLT & it was filled with a lot of fatty bacon. I look at my food before I eat it. They used to have different flavors of OJ, Mango/Pineapple, Strawberry/Banana/Orange, but now all they have is regular OJ. They're changing how they made stuff and they changed the working crew so all I can say is I mostly get breakfast. It's hit & Miss for a lot of things because I like my food the way anyone having a business should make the food for their customers; with love & as best as possible.“

“We visited the place last Saturday. The cheese bread is fresh but not really the bagels we got. We waited so long ; we found out that my daughter’s order was given to someone else but they did not care to replace it at once. When we asked about our order, that’s the time they rushed to prepare it , in less than five minutes, the sandwich was handed to us. When we were in the car since we’re already late for our next appointment, my daughter found out that the replacement was wrong. She paid for plain bagel with double eggs, bacon, and cheese but she was given with plain bagel with cheese only. They asked for our phone number but did not initiate the call. I hope they will do better in their team work.“
