Bagels Restaurants near Spotswood, NJ

“The only place we'll go. Very high quality product and a great atmosphere. They know their customers names and orders, and always greet new folks with a smile and great service. Their food is always fresh, always great. Our week isn't complete without stopping in to grab breakfast and see their wonderful staff.“

“$3 Nonsense fees when you order online for pickup. For a $13.75 order, I am charged an extra $3 or so. Why am I penalized for choosing NOT to phone in? Most restaurants view phone-in calls as costly and occupying staff time. It's my fault for not noticing before I placed the order. I used the website Preferred By Business, which is usually their POS vendor site, which should have the lowest expense for the shop. Lesson learned, call in your order. Side note, their breakfast sandwich has 2 thin slices of pork roll and 1 slice of cheese. It was pathetic. Bagel was fine.“

“I love this people they are so nice, friendly and the store is very very very clean definitely I’ll come back And I’ll recommend it for everyone“

“great food at reasonable pieces“

“I’m from Brooklyn where the bagels are world known to be the Best. But that being said, the name gives you an idea how wonderful these bagels are. Stopped in for a quick bite after dog training class for my “ENZO “. I got myself a garlic bagel, tuna and onion toasted. I was truly blown away , brought me back home. If you want the best bagel I have found in NJ, this is it. I highly recommend!!!! The owner and staff are super friendly and people pleasers. Now every week after training this is my go to.“

“We stopped by our cousins bagel shop today for the first time. Incredibly delicious light and airy Bagels. The Calabria, rosemary olive oil?and jalapeño bagels are to die for. Best of luck in the store. My suggestion is that everyone go there and try some.“

“yummy. great service reasonably priced tasty food“

“I went to work with my husband one day. We stopped at this bagel shop, Tommy's Bagels! For breakfast! He ran in as I waited in the truck. Before running into order, he told me that this bagel shop was one of his favorites. And that it was very popular. Waiting inside, he must have waited in line for almost 20-25 minutes. I can understand a breakfast place being busy in the am before the work day begins. But half an hour, I believe is a bit much! I will say, this bagel was amazing! ? ? ? They slapped on the cream cheese, just how I like it! It was overall well worth the wait in my opinion. If you're in a rush in the morning, maybe before stopping by Tommy's Bagels, leave your house a bit earlier. That would be my solution. Or possibly, I went and ordered on one of their busiest days, and it's not always like that. Just keep that in the back of your mind. Because it is so so worth it! The bagel was delicious!“

“Everything is delicious.“

“Only place that makes fresh delicious bialys. Bagels are good too!“

“Ok so being Google keeps asking me to review here I thought and nice Sunday morning coffee and bagel would be good. There is a big parking lot being it’s part of a shopping center. Walking in no confusion as to where to go to order. Everyone seemed very nice and helpful. I think it took me longer to make my coffee then it took to make and bag my bagel. Let me stop boring you with the BS stuff let’s talk bagel and coffee. I have been to a few bagel shops and I have to say Manhattan Bagel has the softest bagels. I did just get a buttered salt but wow the outside was mildly crunchy but like I said nice and soft in the middle. As far as coffee I tried their fall blend pumpkin spice and it tasted very deluded, not to much taste. They didn’t have French vanilla so I went with the pumpkin. Would I go back 100% the bagel was fantastic“

“Great breakfast sandwich options for less. Called ahead every time and without fail, my order was ready to go every time I walked in. We enjoyed the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant as well as plain bagels with cream cheese. The coffee was also nothing to scoff at either. We definitely enjoyed our breakfast, so much so that we went back the next day. And for the price, you can't beat it. Definitely better than what you will get at the nearby hotels and for less.“

“Great service great food excellent customer service“

“I was so so excited to try this place. I got a blueberry muffin , an Elvis a club and a cookie and breakfast sandwich. I got my order and they made my club wrong so made it again and it was wrong so ill im waiting bored bc its been about 20 minutes I noticed they forgot my elvis also judt a sorry nothing never again. it was over $50“

“The staff are always so friendly and the food is amazing. My only complaint is that you can’t order the baklava online which may be better for me to not order every single day- it’s their best dish!“

“This is central NJ. ... The home of stripmalls and the obligate pizza, bagel, and Asian restaurants. I live on Rt. 130: within a mile of my home are four bagel stores. Bagel 1 is the best. Huge bagels, crusty, chewey but soft, great flavor. Huge variety. Great prices. Fast, friendly. Efficient service.“

“First real bagel since COVID began!“

“I’ve been coming here for about five years now and I am the most pickiest eater probably, and no matter what I order they always make Sure, I leave happy. Not only do they care about their customers, but they have amazing food just like their name.“

“⭐️ Hidden Gem Alert: Bagel 1 in Old Bridge, NJ ⭐️

It’s amazing how some of the smallest, most unassuming spots turn out to have the most delicious food and Bagel 1 is absolutely one of them.

From the outside, the place might not grab your attention, it may even seem like somewhere you wouldn't go, but don’t judge a book by it's cover! The food coming out of this kitchen is delicious, fresh, flavorful, and made with care. If you’re hunting for a legit bagel or breakfast sandwich, go here.

What really stood out during my visit was the service. Wael, the gentleman working the front counter, was exceptionally polite, attentive, and patient. His attention to detail and willingness to listen closely to my order, especially as someone who likes to customize their breakfast sandwiches, this was refreshing. In many bagel spots, staff can seem rushed or distracted, but Wael made the experience easy.

Whether you're a classic bacon-egg-and-cheese kind of person or someone who likes to get a little creative with your sandwich, Bagel 1 delivers quality without the chaos. The spot is low-key, but the flavor is next level.

Highly recommend swinging by if you’re in the area and want a breakfast that hits the spot. Old Bridge is lucky to have this place!“

“One of the best bagel sandwiches I have ever had!“

“Best bagels in New Brunswick. I've been patronizing since they moved to their current location in September of 1998. Not much has changed since then, which is a great thing considering the development of the surrounding area.

Some of the lower ratings are subjective. Come in and see for yourself a real gem of Easton Ave. Nicholas is a class act and wonderful reminiscing with. I'll be back, like I always do, when I visit the old stomping grounds.“

“The bagels were just as they are supposed to be - crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. We got a dozen to bring back to NH with us because they were that good. Service was friendly and fast. I'd go again if I'm ever in the area.“

“I Love FastBagel Always so Fresh and Delicious. Love getting Breakfast as well as Lunch The Staff Always sooo friendly. My total Favorite. Noelle“

“I don’t want to put bad review for you guys I come there for coffee and bagel all the time ,My family love this place you guys have good bagel but
I think you guys change Your bagel recipe it doesn’t taste right I had this morning sesame and chocolate bagel it taste like bread“

“Such a nice owner! Affordable prices unlike the mainstream businesses. Fast and kind service.“

“love love love this place...my favorite bagel is the French toast ..so many other choices as well..great local place“

“Really awesome bagels! Typical bagel shop / deli fare. I like the variety of bagels - they have everything, egg everything amd a whole wheat everything! Their multi-grain and french toast bagels are awesome too. Great food. Cooks prepare the food correctly. The staff are very friendly, it shows when they are rushed or stressed, but otherwise they are welcoming and thank us for coming in. The coffee is great! Tasty and fresh, I love some of the flavored beans, but they don't always have every flavor available. Chicken salad and tuna salad and other lunch options are also very good.“

“Not a bad bagel place for those who are in the area, solid pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich. They have good cream cheese choices too. Overall not the best bang for buck bagel store though. They have a $1 card charge though so bring cash.“

“greate food , good place and people“

“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.“

“By far best bagel in the area. Would give 5 stars but knocked off one for the customer service. The two ladies there working had zero personality and seemed like they just hate life. I got maybe 3 words out of the lady. All I got was a “Next” when it was my turn to order, didn’t even ask me what I wanted and then I was told the price and got no response to me saying thank you and have a good day. I came in the store saying good morning and thank you after I placed my order so I don’t get the lack of common courtesy and simple conversation. Would I go back….I would for the delicious bagel, but if I get that kind of interaction again it might not be worth it after that.“

“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.“

“love love love this place...my favorite bagel is the French toast ..so many other choices as well..great local place“

“Such a great little place!“

“Great customer service..!! Excellent food.!! Had chicken sandwich coffee and a bagel. Everything was great 👍🏻 Highly recommended.“

“First time coming here and i love the bagels! The bagels are fresh and the people working there are very nice too. I had a bacon egg and cheese with a cinnamon raisin bagel and it was by far one of the best bagels I’ve had. I will come back again for sure!“

“Variety of delish food and sandwiches“

“Recently checked out Joe’s Bagel and Grill in Robertsville, NJ—and honestly, I’m confused by all the hate. Yeah, I saw the reviews complaining about pricing, gluten-free “gouging,” and service, but that wasn’t our experience at all.

We tried the gluten-free options since my partner needs them, and everything was solid. Staff were super friendly—smiling, helpful, just genuinely nice people. I went back-to-back on Friday and Saturday, no issues either time. Food was great, service was fast, and the vibe was good.

Sure, like anyone, I’d love for life to be cheaper—but I actually think the pricing here is fair for the area and the quality. It’s a bagel shop, not a mortgage payment. People in these reviews need to chill.“

“Perfect choice for my son's wedding morning!! The breakfast wraps were outstanding!! Everyone raved about them! Bagels are delicious! Mo was very accommodating and professional! I highly recommend their catering services, I've used them a couple if times and it's always a hit. Thank you Mo.“

“Best bagels. It's a small cozy place. It looks shabby but don't let that fool you. It makes the best bagels in the entire area. They are made to perfection, crispy on the outside and soft on inside. I think they must have a OG recipe for bagels lol. Must try.“

“I love Liberty Bagel Cafe!“

“The light chicken salad is AMAZING!!!!!!!“

“I think that the bagels here are really my favorite bagels in all of NJ. The insides are thick and fluffy, while the outside is slightly crisp, just like a bagel should be. Usually I get a half dozen and an egg and cheese on a bagel to-go. They also have really nice flavored cream cheese.“

“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!😎“

“Un excelente servicio y los desayunos 🧇 💯“
