Bagels Restaurants near Monsey, NY

“I stopped by for an avocado salad bagel and I was blown away! I was so impressed with how quick the service was, but the quality is what really stood out. The toast on the bagel was perfection that ideal crunch and they didn't skimp on the toppings at all. The avocado was fresh and flavorful, making for a truly fabulous bite. If you're looking for a hearty, tasty meal that's ready fast, this is definitely the place to go.“

“Bake ziti, coffee and desserts are the best in the world“

“Purchased four breakfast sandwiches and a BLT plus a half dozen bagels. The staff is super friendly and they got the order perfectly right. The bagels are pillowy and delicious. The bacon, egg and cheese was so good the teenager inhaled two in record time. My sausage, egg and cheese was also scrumptious. Would highly recommend.“

“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!“

“Loved their frozen latte! 🥤“

“Oh. My. Word. Quite easily the best sandwich I’ve ever had. Treat yourself to El Chapo and thank me later. You won’t regret it. Service was also top notch, but dang! I’ll be thinking about that sandwich for a long time. Can’t wait to come back again! Thank you.“

“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!“

“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!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I deliver David’s bagels their Tropicana drinks and have to say they are the nicest people. Paula and Javier treat you so well and so does everyone else behind the counter. You can tell this is THE SPOT for a lot of people and it make sense. Their food also comes out piping hot and amazing I’ve gotten a TEC with hash browns it’s the best. Good vibes I highly recommend“

“Love the breakfast and the sandwich“

“Thank you, Jessie and crew! The bagels and breakfast sandwiches are DELICIOUS! The wraps and sandwiches are too! You’ve kept me well fed for years on my way to work and AT WORK!“

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

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

“They always that pot of fresh coffee ready when u get there and staff is super nice and clean 💜🙏💙🌻🥰💯“

“John's Bagels has the best bagels, sandwiches, coffee and most importantly the best service. Everyone is so kind and friendly that it makes you want to go back again and again and support such a wonderful business with supportive and kind owners. Highly suggest trying out either of their locations in Park Ridge or Woodcliff Lake.“

“Locally owned and in my opinion the best bagel in town. Tremendous variety of options for hot bagel. Fresh made egg sandwiches and platters. The hot dish asst is amazing. I’ve always found them friendly and service is as fast as possible. Tight parking lot but worth it.“

“Thank you John's Famous bagels for providing such a great service to the community during this difficult time! Thank you for staying open and delivering not just bagels, but the necessities we need to feed our families.“

“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.“

“Excellent food, great service and quick.“

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

“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.“

“I love this spot, pass several of bagel shops to come here. The owner is very friendly and dedicated. The bagels are very fresh as well the owner told me they make a batch in the morning and one later in the day where most spots I went to only make in the morning.“

“Excellent service! Delicious food!“

“I was looking for authentic NY bagels, which most sellers don't have.Got lucky at Kathy's Bagels. Just discovered this location, brought home 2 bagels, toasted the 'everything bagel' added butter. Delicious!! Perfect texture and so tasty! Also bought the cheddar bagel, I'm so looking forward to having soon. I was pleasantly surprised with the vast number of foods they offer, from deli to hot prepared meals and more. I highly recommend Kathy's Bagels Cafe & Deli if you're looking for quality food and delicious taste! Very friendly staff, welcoming environment and pleasant experience!“

“Great place for breakfast! Hungry Man sandwich was delicious and fit for someone hungry. Omelette platter is big and tasty. Will come back next time in town!“

“Went in Friday morning for a quick breakfast pickup, in and out in 5 minutes with 3 delicious and fresh breakfast specials. Great customer care and most importantly delicious food. My bill for 3 people was $27 including drinks.

Dietary restrictions: The entire store is strictly Kosher. They have lots of wholewheat, spelt and sour dough options for those dieting.

Kid-friendliness: Great potatoes.

Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter“

“The staff are extremely nice and kind. I called from a distance and asked for bagels to be delivered to the local hospital. The staff was very patient and made every effort to get the bagels to the patient.“

“They are the best because they’re the only bagel shop that actually LISTENS to your order. Toasted dark bagel? Done. Extra crispy bacon? Done. Add little butter? Done.

Any other place you go to, they would miss one of the above.

And their bagels are delicious. Not too fluffy, not too thick.“

“Try the 'Quesadilla Guatemalteca' *hint this ain't the mexican quesadilla you're thinking of.Baked fresh daily here is the 'Guatamalan Quesadilla' made of rice flour and cheese. Baked in sheets and served in squares like a cornbread but a lot more interesting.Give it a try and grab a coffee to wash it down for a breakfast treat.“

“Very simple.. The best bagels in this entire area by far !!!“

“THE BEST place for breakfast 🍳“

“I like this location. For some reason almost every bagel place has terrible feng shui, they make you crowd into a cramped corner and you are in everybody's way while you wait for your order, or you gotta stand amongst the tables with your butt in somebody's face. Not here though! And the bagels are good, obviously.“

“I love a good bagel sandwich. A well done Taylor ham and cheese on a toasted everything bagel is my go to. This place makes a great sandwich. I love being able to text my order and get a response when it will be done. I've been ordering from this place for over a year and the food is always ready when they say it will be. In and out in minutes. Great place, nice people, good food.“

“This spot is fire! The owner David is friendly and serves a generous portion! Bagels are fresh and you can’t beat NY for bagels!!! The food is affordable compared to others. The French toast breakfast is so damn good! 5/5 would recommend!“

“It was my first visit, and the bagels were incredibly fresh with a perfect texture.
Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside — just the way real New York–style bagels should be.
They have a great variety of spreads, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming.
I’m definitely coming back with friends to try more flavors next time.
A true hidden gem for bagel lovers!“

“Yummy Jersey Bagel Sandwiches! 😋🥯❤️“

“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!“

“Taking off one star because they don’t post their prices you have to go online to see how much things cost. Good local deli. Staff are nice, food is comparable to other NJ delis. Price are a bit higher, but reasonable for northern NJ. There are all of the deli breakfast and lunch type sandwiches, snacks and drinks. In a strip mall so convenient for after Kid classes in an adjacent business.“

“These bagels are rather good water-boiled bagels, but not the best in the area. The staff that works here is wonderful and friendly and they seem to have a great relationship with the regulars. My main gripe was that I didn't get my usual Jersey whollup of cream cheese that I am used to in this part of Jersey. Other than that it was a very pleasant experience.“

“I was not a big fan of bagels but the bagels here changed my mind. Absolutely the best ever.Just enough bite outside and tender inside. Comfortable tables if you want to eat in and the service is great. I will return even though we traveled over a half hour.“

“padro was great food great service great will go back“

Dietary restrictions: They had gluten free bread and vegetarian options

Parking: I can park in a wheelchair accesible parking spot.

Kid-friendliness: i came with my kids they were very friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: i am in a wheelchair and i love this place“

“I love Wally's. They have the best deals, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and the bagels are great.

On a recent visit, a new employee made some rookie mistakes that I brought up to the owner. He addressed the situation right away and more than made up for the only negative experience I've ever had there.

Last week, I ordered ahead to make sure they wouldn't run out of the bagels I wanted, and the person working that morning greeted me with a huge smile and my order all ready to go. He seemed genuinely excited to help me, as the staff always appears to truly enjoy what they do and make customers happy.

Great food and tremendous service make every Wally's location a worthwhile stop.“

“I was just served the finest everything bagel with butter that I've had in years, maybe even decades! Hot, slight snap on the outside and baked to perfection on the inside. A nice size but not overly doughy. It brought a tear to my eye and will haunt my dreams when I have to go back to Texas. My new go-to whenever I visit home in Rockland!“

“Love Davids!!!! The best!“

“Great bagels & veggie cream cheese. Also, coffee is good & prices are reasonable 👍“
