Bagels Restaurants near Tenafly, NJ

“This is our favorite place for bagels in Tenafly. We moved from NYC and missed our morning bagels and thought we’d never find a good replacement. Their bagels are soft enough but not doughy and their everything bagel has the perfect amount of seasoning. I like that this bagel has a little salt in the seasoning and a little onion bite. The owners learned our “usual” quickly and are super nice.“

“This place is a lifesaver. The bagels? Hot, chewy, and perfectly crusted. Whether you’re grabbing a classic everything with scallion cream cheese or going bold with their French toast bagel, you’re getting something that tastes homemade — but better. Their bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich hits that sweet spot between comfort and crave-worthy.

The staff is friendly and efficient, even during the morning rush. They move fast, but never make you feel rushed. And the vibe? Classic deli energy — bustling, warm, and full of regulars who clearly know what’s good.

What sets Celebrity apart is consistency. You know what you’re getting every time: fresh bagels, generous portions, and that no-frills charm that makes it feel like home. It’s the kind of spot you recommend to friends without hesitation.“

“The only place around that opens so early and will make you a breakfast sandwich. So it gets a bump up to 4 from 3 stars for that! Otherwise, food is ok. Cash only so be ready for that and for the dreaded coins as change. Don't forget to grab napkins as they don't put them in the bag. One of the guys is kinda cranky the other, usually in the back, is a sweetheart. Summary: 4 stars for being there when you need them in the morning!“

“Yes please to all of it! We love this place.“

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

“One of the top bagel spots in NYC, and the Presto Pesto bagel is actually one of my favorite bagels ever!! 🥯

Incredible bagel quality, crispy outside with generous seasoning, good chewiness, stuffed with egg, turkey sausage, avocado, arugula, pesto, and sun dried tomato cream cheese.

Everything here is outstanding, could not recommend more highly!“

“Kind of an awkward location. Really solid bagels. Surprisingly fluffy but dense with flavor their bagels beat out a lot of other places locally. Fair prices and they stuff the breakfast sandwiches pretty good. Steak egg and cheese is awesome.“

“The bagels of my Brooklyn youth!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!"“

“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!“

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

“Excelente los desayunos..“

“This place has the best bagels. Their bagels are so soft and delicious 😋. The scallion cream cheese is perfect. I love the variety of bagels they have and you cant beat the price. They always have a line outside but it goes rather quickly.“

“I've lived within many areas in the NYC greater area over the years. As you can imagine I've had many bagels along the way. I'm happy to have found this bagel spot. They are some of the best bagels you can find on both sides of the Hudson River! Truly amazing bagels!!! We bring them everywhere we go when we vacation with the families and they are always a big hit and topic of conversation.“

“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.“

“The food was great, and the staff was super helpful �“

“awesome food and amazing services ....highly recommend this Bagel Shop....“

“I read their amazing reviews, I had to add me 2 cents. Definitely try their French toast. Brings back my memories of being a kid, and filling as f...... Great for breakfast, lunch or dinner!!!“

“I stopped here on a whim driving home and I’m so glad I did. Super friendly workers who asked how I was while they were making my order and one even brought my bag of food to me as I was waiting by the front door.

We ordered the Chipotle Chicken and Chino’s Special subs to go (hero sizes). Both were incredible! The CC had a really nice kick to it and complimented the crispy chicken cutlet very well. Chino’s Special was my favorite - a messy sub with a generous helping of turkey meat with a runny egg.

My family of 3 wished we had more space in our stomachs to finish everything. The hero sized subs are large, and absolutely worth the price especially with similar restaurants charging the same, if not more, for a mediocre sub. We will be back for more!“

“The best bagels..Owners of the deli very nice,with big smile on face ,the food is delicious 😋..Highly recommend to go there“

“this place is absolutely money! all the people working here are awesome and incredibly efficient. no matter how crowded it is i never have to wait longer than 5 minutes for my order. i make it a point to come in at least once a week for my sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel. they have a great selection of grab and go food and drinks as well. i seriously cannot recommend this place enough! stop in and grab a bite. you won’t be disappointed!“

“Customer service is their main priority“

“Good bagels, lots of toppings, including some low-fat, and best of all - great price.“

“Delicious rainbow bagel with butter. Coffee was terrible; had a weird taste.“

“Some of the best hand rolled bagels in NJ. Great crisp crust and wonderfully chewy textured inside. For those that are complaining they do not have a griddle, I believe they have a Kosher certification which means no meat can be served here since they use cream cheese (dairy). This was our go to bagel place when we lived in Fair Lawn, now we live in SC, and we come here to stock up on bagels to take south on every visit to NJ.“

“I found this gem of a spot when visiting family in NJ. This has to be the best I’ve had since becoming celiac 6 years ago. The bakery items are to die for and the bagel breakfast sandwiches are the best ever. I got to stop in this past weekend and got a few goodies to bring home. If you are gluten free and in the are do not pass this place up.“

“Excellent food, great service and quick.“

“The iced coffee was really good. I got a large with oat milk which was just under $5. For the quality I think it is well worth it. I didn’t try a bagel but I will say they looked very thick and fluffy. Hope to try one day. The service was also really nice :)“

“I love their bacon egg sandwich on their onion bagel!! always fresh and taste great!!!!“

“Bagels are fresh, and cream cheese taste good. Toasted bagel was not burnt but toasted just right. Asked for black coffee no sugar and it was fresh. There was a line and service was fast and good. Definitely a great bagel place in Riverdale.“

“This is our new favorite spot! Wow! The bagels are so fresh and the service is so prompt, they work really fast to get you out and on your way. The cleanliness is great and their schemers selection is broad, the staff is super friendly and helpful. There is also a small seating area inside and a few feet away there’s public seating. Can’t wait to return“

“Delicious food and kind atmosphere. The owner are so sweet and welcoming. They not only make great breakfast but they also sell yummy tacos!! They are also fair with there prices. You definitely have to try them out if you haven’t already.“

“The couple that run this place are like your favorite Korean neighbors. Nothing fancy, nothing over the top, just good food. This great deli has me come back because you feel like you're in your hometown and you have to stop by to say hello and get a quick bite to eat.“

“This is awesome has a great menu food in delicious 😋 service is fantastic as well“

“Fast quick friendly service“

“I purchased your bagels thru QVC. And, I was shocked and dismayed to find that this item contains 590 mg. of sodium per bagel! At first, I thought this alarming amount of sodium was divided among all 6 in one packageBut, in rereading it I realized I had been mistaken! Why is it necessary to pose such a health risk to your consumers, who seem to have focused only on taste, is just incredulous! I hope you would reconsider production in a more healthy range in the near future so that I could purchase again, without having to dump them as I've had to do. Such a waste, I hated to have to do that. Thanks for your attention!“

“Great selection of breakfast and lunch options in addition to some hard-to-get grocery items. Friendly staff and they also have a text option allowing you to place your order ahead of time.“

“Amazing spot! The man who served me was beyond cool, polite and just a 10/10 kind of guy. Best service!

I ordered some sausage, egg and cheese’s on everything bagels and they were perfect, exactly what I needed to start my morning.

I forgot to ask for the name of the man that served us, but I know he has great tastes in music.“

“Come visit Joan and Kevin. They're the best!“

“A real bagel. Case closed.“

“I've ordered several times from J's Bagels and the food is always delicious and fresh! I recently placed a large order of bagels for my coworkers and was impressed with how quickly they were able to have them ready. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area!“

“Breakfast here at least once every week. Have never had a order disappoint.
Chicken Cutlet sandwich, grilled chicken sandwich, grilled cheese, the BLT, bagels with cream cheese, Chicken Florentine wrap, Chicken Pesto wrap, cheeseburger, ALL OF THEM SLAPPP.“

“Delicious and so many varieties. Thanks for donations to N.J. Food and Clothing Rescue.“

“One of the best Vegetable soups I have ever had.“

“Perfect cappuccino. A must stop to satiate the craving.“

“That was as close to perfect as a bagel can be. The shop definitely has seen better days as some of the cases for drinks were completely empty and it could definitely use a bit of cleaning but to me none of that matters because the bagel that I had was Perfectly crispy, amazing flavor, has the right amount of chew, and my vegetable cream cheese was chock full of fresh vegetables. It’s clearly a family run business and the person selling you the bagel is the person whos been perfecting the bagel recipe for however many decades theyve been in business.“

“Great food and atmosphere. wonderful staff.“

“Fast service, friendly staff, generous amount of lox spread, the tres leches cup was amazing! They have everything you could ask for at a price and speed that can't be beat! I was served by Nathan and I just wanted something simple but I heard him give great recommendations to another customer on what to order and how to customize to their liking.“
