Bagels Restaurants near Totowa, NJ

“Great customer service, everyone is very friendly!“

“The lady behind the counter deserves a raise.She knows her regulars and has their order ready before they even ask.She is training new people and fixing their screwups before the orders get over the counter.She is up at the crack of dawn busting her ass everyday.And they have Great Bagels!“

“I go every day for breakfast, Maria is fantastic, the guys are great, food is delicious, they know who I am , very respectful and always so nice , great place, whoever helps at counter is always polite but I usually get Maria because I go at 6 am“

“The Best Bagels Hands DOWN!“

“Great bagels, questionable cleanliness. The food is delicious, but the place really needs a serious cleaning. The floors were extremely dirty, the bathroom faucet is falling apart, and public areas are pretty nasty overall. I can only imagine what the back looks like. The bagels hit the spot, but I left feeling like I needed a shower.“

“If there were more stars, I'd give them. We are from out of state (formerly from Waldwick) and needed to send a brunch catering to a dear family. Bagel Supreme was professional, sweet, considerate and kind. I called on a Sunday afternoon at 1 PM (about an hour before the store closed) and the owner had his wife call "within the hour." She did and spent time with me on the phone getting the right order to fit my request for the family. Then sent multiple texts to confirm everything throughout the evening. Talk about going ABOVE AND BEYOND! They delivered PROMPTLY as promised the next day and they sent us pictures of the platters to ensure that we saw what was delivered. Greeting cards to mark the occasion with our thoughts HAND WRITTEN were attached. The store would NOT take money until the order was delivered even though I offered to pay in advance. I will absolutely use them in the future for long distance gift giving (who doesn't like food as a gift)? And this will be our very first stop when we are back in town. 1,000% recommend!!!“

“Food was very good, and the service and also great“

“Best bagels ive ever had: better than anything in nyc and better than anything else in jersey. Everyone in there hustles and works hard. I kept seeing the team asking for a guy named Byron and he was super on top of everything. That guy is an MVP. Whoever takes the orders on the phone is also a star: always gets the orders right- every detail (and thats hard to come by).

Now i will say, a large part of what i do for a living is making the customer service experience at restaurants better and more efficient. Most restaurant operators will not take advice unsolicited but i wanted to give mine anyway in hopes of maybe one day they will consider some changes:

A lot of times when i come here i see frustrated customers waiting on lines. Lot of old men cutting the lines. Nobody knows where to stand and sometimes multiple lines form. The people waiting to place an order are also in the same line as people waiting to pick up their order. So, i would do a number of things to improve their systems:
1. I would promote ordering ahead for pickup on their website. There are so many great companies they can use which can set up an awesome website for them : my favorite is Figure or Toast.
2. I would modernize everything by having the tickets from their website come in via printers and everything typed out. Would control where the tickets went and set up multiple printers.
3. Would ahve order screens so kitchen staff can see the orders, in the order they come in (with time stamps) and mark them off as they go.
4. I would have a screen so customers can see which orders are “in progress” and which are “finished”. That way orders that are ready, customers can go up to their counter and mention their name. This system also works well if you have delivery drivers in your face a lot.

5. I would have 2 lines set up, divided with standing signs “order here” line and a “pick up “ line.

6.I would also have a worker whose only job would be: manning the register, cleaning up, attending to the lines. I see a lot of the FOh going to the back to get things and add things and that element is not typical in an efficient restaurant system. There should be an expediter who passed things to FOH so they dont have to go to the back and get in people’s way.

I would do more but i know that even a few of these changes would enhance the customer ordering and pickup experience and if done right it could potentially make the workers lives easier once they get used to the new systems.

I know they probably wont do any of this because they are busy and people love them and will put up with the status quo. But i will say one observation: i noticed most customers are of a certain age. Younger generations like and expect efficient ordering processes and dont like to talk to people: they like kiosk ordering and online ordering a lot.

The restaurants i operate do about 90% of their orders on online platforms. Its becoming the norm and i know many customers would appreciate a simpler way to order ahead, and get to go on that shorter “pick up” line.

Just a thought.

But hey, at the end of the day even if Bagel Nosh become more inefficient i would still come back because they truly have the best Bagels and their team hustles, and always gets everything perfect. I applaud the owners for being able to maintain such a strong team and the work culture there is impeccable- nobody is slacking off.

Wishing Bagel Nosh and Team only the best. Best of Bergen every year for a reason!“

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

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

“This was my first time ordering from this store, and I must say, they exceeded my expectations. The cheese quesadilla, bagel with cream cheese, and muffin were all incredibly delicious. However, there was a minor mistake in my order, and the store associate promptly corrected it. I highly recommend this store to anyone looking for a great dining experience.“

“Absolutely love the sunny and bright atmosphere of this place, all of the workers are super helpful and friendly. The food is amazing too, the muffins are INCREDIBLE. The owners are also super nice! They might just be friends with the whole town!“

“A great place..Rema, Nart, Willie and Mohammed are wonderful people...Homemade potato salad is delicious...Family owned business who takes care of the community and appreciates those who patronize their business...Thank you for always taking care of me...Willie your the Best....“

“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 stopped in on a whim because I was in the neighborhood. I got 4 bagels for the family and the veggie cream cheese. Fresh, excellent top-tier bagels! Black Russian and Egg! Plain! All delicious. We're all lucky in NJ that most bagels we can get are at least okay, but these were a cut above! And the cream cheese was delicious and fresh - vegetables still had a little crunch!

Also, I appreciate that they discourage people coming in and just buying up all the bagels. In the 5 minutes I was in there, lots of people popped in, clearly regulars, for their breakfast. It definitely felt like a go-to place in the community and they make sure they can be open to serve as many as possible. That's cool. I look forward to returning!“

“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!“

“Great place to stop ! Large variety of bagels, Plus a lot more then just bagels! Always a friendly face to serve you too !“

“This small business is just wonderful. The food is delicious, the bagels and sandwiches are so fresh and tasty and the bagels are large. I purchased here a few times via the TGTG app and purchased bagels and their delicious home made assorted flavor cream cheeses. Additionally, the owner Ernesto and his wife are so genuine, customer service focused and take pride in the products/service they provide to their clients and community. I definitely recommend this bagel shop and more as one of the BEST in NJ and I drive 7 miles from Maywood,NJ to support them while purchasing their outstanding products!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“Mark and his team at House of Bagels are top notch. They go above and beyond for their customers to ensure that their experience is memorable. From the staff to the bagels and full menu, I recommend all to try their selections. You will not regret and will be coming back for more.“

“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!!!!!!!“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Yummy Bagel & Deli! I ordered their stuffed bagel and it was seriously next level. A plain bagel loaded with cream cheese inside, then topped with melted cheese and garlic butter. So simple but SO good. What really made the visit stand out was the service. The owner came by to greet us personally, which was such a nice touch, and even let us try their coconut pound cake. They also have a parking lot, which makes it super convenient. Overall, the place has a really welcoming vibe, great food, and excellent customer service. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!“

“We couldn't be happier that this place is in our town! All their stuff is always great. Their bagels are tops in the area, hands down. Service is always awesome and super friendly staff that doesn't make errors with your orders!!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“A MUST STOP every time I come back to NJ to visit my Mom!“

This place has won my family and friends over for good.Thank you Bagel Plus & Cafe! See you soon again!Cheers!-Best Regards: Karim G. Daif“

“I don’t have enough good things to say about this business. I called 5 Brothers from Wisconsin (not knowing anything about delis or restaurants in Lincoln Park, New Jersey—just going by google search) to order a couple trays of food for a memorial service in Lincoln Park which I could not attend. I am so happy my Google search led me to such a professional and helpful business. The two brothers I worked with listened to my situation and understood what I was hoping to provide food-wise, and then they suggested a mixed tray of baked goods and desserts that were perfect. They even sent me photos and a video of the finished trays of goodies after they put them together. And then they delivered. Amazing. Top-notch customer service. I highly recommend this company for food delivery and catering. Good, good people.“

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

“Amazing food and service.“

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

“Came to the shop for the first time today and I adore the atmosphere. Gives such cool retro vibes. We got the turkey club, grilled chicken, and bulgogi sandwich. Each one is so good! The flavor and moisture of the meat stands out. Hands down the bulgogi was the best one - if you’re craving a Philly cheesesteak - this does the trick!

We met Paul, the owner of the shop - such a sweet person. He was so generous and thoughtful - we got bagels to go because he wanted us to try his French toast one. Can’t wait to have it with some cream cheese. Highly recommend supporting this local business with good vibes and kind owners who care about their customers. I’ll be returning!“

“This place has some of the best food I’ve gotten from a deli. Everything’s fresh and absolutely delicious I eat here every day. Come in and let al take care of you they have a perfect menu fitting for all types from breakfast to lunch and even dinner. Highly recommend“

“This lil shop has INCREDIBLE bagels. Chewy, fluffy, wonderful flavor. Good service members too. The shop is small; but it is mighty. Truly a gem, and highly recommend. The bagel sandwich was also really good, it wasn’t too heavy, a great ratio of food to bagel combo. I can’t wait to come back and buy like every bagel in the shop.“

“Zeid and his team were great. Everything was made fresh and quick. The store is very clean. The egg bagel with cream cheese was perfect and the right amount of CC. I got a SBEC and it was delicious full of flavor. The portion def filled me up. The daisy muffins were ok. They were a little too greasy to my liking. But all in all would def come back“

“Review for King Gyro - halal, Little Falls, NJ
If you’re craving bold flavor and late-night satisfaction, King Gyro - halal is a must-visit gem in Little Falls. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with genuine warmth and friendly service that makes the experience feel personal and welcoming.

The lamb platter is a standout tender, perfectly spiced, and generously portioned. Pair it with their creamy white sauce and fragrant rice, and you’ve got a meal that punches way above its price point. The chicken tikka platter is equally impressive, with juicy, marinated chunks of chicken that deliver smoky depth and vibrant flavor in every bite. Both dishes offer incredible value without compromising on quality.

🕑 And the best part? They’re open until 2am, making it the perfect spot for a late-night bite that doesn’t feel like a compromise. Whether you’re dining in or grabbing takeout, King Gyro delivers on taste, service, and affordability. Highly recommended for anyone who loves halal comfort food done right.“

“Livingston Bagel catered a lunch on Thursday for 20 people for my Mom #BerniceSturtz 90th Birthday! We had their man Abe as Mr. Everything- chef, set up and clean up. He was professional and charming. A gem. Ask for him by name! He was a two-fisted omelette maker. They were delicious! And appropriately priced. As always-perfect bagels and salads and made to order omelets. Thank you LB and Abe. Judy Sturtz Karp and Bonnie Romberg“

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

“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.“

“A real bagel. Case closed.“

“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.“

“Great Friendly Staff & Owner The Is Always Smiling And Pleasant. The Bagels Are Always Made Fresh Daily And If You Get There Early Hot. The Breakfast Sandwiches Are Always Great On A Bagel, Roll or Crossant. The Coffee Is Always Fresh. Keep Up The Great Work!!!“

“One of the most consistent bagel places around and it speaks for itself as you can't get in there on the weekends and and weekday mornings as well sometimes it's amazing.
Great service great smiles always consistent bagels non-stop the best around no doubt“

“So after being in New Jersey and going to about 8 bagel shops, I guess this is the one. So... I pull up and the first thing you will notice, parking is an issue. Luckily, people are coming and going so it took around 5 minutes to attain a parking spot. From the look of things, there may have been a parking lot in front of thee establishment before but it would seem that they decided to fill the parking lot with outdoor seating. From speaking to a patron, I understand because he told me that he always walks to the place. So on a nice day, I suppose the outdoor seating is great. You go inside and it's a small space and they have a few tables and chairs inside as well.

Inside and I'm in a line. Probably about 8 people ahead of me. I'm already thinking that these bagels must be damn good. Took about 10 minutes until I put my order in. In total I spent about 25 minutes at this spot. As I'm leaving, there are more people in line than when I got there. Just from seeing the bagels, they look soft and fresh. Just happy to have found the place. I get home and the bagels are just as good as they look. This clean bagel shop comes highly recommended and will be back! Great job guys!“

“A while back, I started what seemed to be a bagel war on Facebook about another bagel shop in town 😂😂😂 Well, a lot of people in the comments told me to try International Hot Bagels… and yeah, they were right!
The bagels are so much better… fresh, hot and delicious! The service was great, the food was great, and the prices were actually reasonable (which is rare these days). I’ve ordered a couple of times now & I’ve been highly satisfied.
10/10 recommend! Go give them a try.
Pro tip: they only accept cash or Zelle…
This spot earned the hype 👏🥯“

“✅Excellent catering services ✅Delicious wraps ✅Bacon, egg & cheese on a 🥯 or yummy croissant 🥐 simple perfection“

“I just moved to Jersey and saw Bagels by Jarrett on the news and decided to give it a try. My life has changed. It is my order at the end of a hard day. My comfort food. Don’t be fooled by the diverse menu because everything on it is a HIT! I may or may not have shed a tear when the delivery guy got here.“
