Everything Bagel with Cream Cheee

This has the best bagels around!! AJ style of bagel is like the original style, fluffy and a little doughy but soft. It's perfection every time! It's a small neighborhood spot that is always welcoming. Enjoyable to sit and eat, work a little or be on the run. Definitely a favorite for breakfast. Hot food menu is also really really good. The burgers great! Pancakes and home fries awesome!

Shake Hands With Bagels!!  ;)

Shake Hands With Bagels!! AJ's is the newest hand rolled bagel place in town and they're serving up some delicious breakfast sandwiches plus a very solid cup of coffee to boot. Family owned and operated this shop has only been opened for a few weeks now and while they're still working out a few of the kinks one thing is for sure, they make some great hand rolled bagels here. Check out the pics below of some of the sandwiches that I've tried from AJ's and you can see for yourself that this place is the real deal. They also offer homemade muffins, pastries, rolls, and cookies here and you can order ahead using the door dash app. Come And Get Your Munch On!!

Trying a new place!

A new bagel shop nearby? I had to give it a try. Stopped in at AJ's for a sausage, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. The sandwich was very good, as was the coffee. There's so much competition in the area, and all of NJ for that matter, with bagel shops. AJ's was fine and worth stopping in if you're in the area. Plenty of comfortable seats, easy parking, friendly owners, and reasonable prices.

Ordered delivery from AJ's and had a great experience. It took a while to be delivered but I think is UberEat's fault. The bagels were fresh and tasty. Would definitely order again or go to check the place out.

a half eaten sandwich

sandwiches burnt when I called them they didn't care. The response was that's how we cook it. It was charcoal color. Horrible food and not nice either. Go elsewhere don't waste your money here.

I always go there before work and AJ always greets me with a smile and a delicious breakfast sandwich. Coffee is always hot and fresh.

Maybe I just had a bad bagel because the other reviews of this place are great. The bagel was way too crunchy.

Originally from Morris Plains, whenever I go home to visit friends and family, I stop by Tony &…read moreVinnie's for their Italian pastries and pizza bread. Sfogliatelle are my absolute favorite pastry (they were my grandfather's fave, too) and they can not be found, or even heard of, anywhere in Portland, OR, where I now live. For those that aren't familiar, they are a clam shaped pastry, the outside layered and crisp, filled with ricotta cheese mixed with a little powdered sugar and sometimes candid citrus, baked. Sprinkled with powdered sugar they are a delicious not-too-sweet desert. Even better when warmed in the oven! Some say they are the same as a Lobster Claw; they are not. Lobster claws have a light airy cream custard inside; Sfogliatelle have a baked ricotta filling similar to the Italian sweet Easter pie. The day I arrive, I buy some to enjoy immediately, then come back on my last day and buy a dozen to bring home. They pack them for me without the added powdered sugar. When I get home, I freeze them individually so I can enjoy at anytime and share with friends that are "sfogiatelle" worthy. Their cannoli is also delicious! Crispy shells that are filled with creamy ricotta, again mixed with powdered sugar. Love the cannoli shells dipped in dark chocolate first, then stuffed. Their cheesy pepperoni bread is divine. A loaf quite large and only $6. Delicious room temperature, even better warmed in the oven. Great to serve as part of an appetizer tray or with an Italian meal. As others have mentioned, the bread is top notch, crispy on the outside and chewy inside. A true old fashioned recipe that is enjoyed by many generations. Once I ordered a Turkey Sloppy Joe, another item that is not available or even known in Portland! Their version is good, made with Boars Head meat and cheese. Ask for extra Russian Dressing! Located on Route 46 in a little strip of shops to the west of Shoprite, one could drive by every single day and not know it's there unless someone told you. I'm telling you! So make a point to stop by and load up on pastries and bread.

Amazing Italian Pastries. A nice variety of hot and cold well packed sandwiches, deli items,…read morepastas, etc.. Very friendly people, off road parking lot, and a few tables and a side room where you can sit and enjoy your order. Highly recommended.

I love Millburn Deli! This is my preferred location, although I am not surprised to see they now…read morehave many locations across NJ. Millburn is the flagship store, so naturally there are menu items exclusive to this location. I've noticed that the hours of operation here are slightly different than all of the others (this one opens and closes earlier). There's minimal parking in front of the store, rarely available. Your best bet is to park on the side of the store in the small parking lot. It's free for the first 30 minutes, but there is a meter. I love that the lot is also connected to Taylor Park, a cute neighborhood open space with a fountain. The 5 stars continue to stick for me because I've never had a bad sandwich here. My favorite two are The Griller #8 (with extra pesto or garlic mayo, depending on my mood). And the Friday Joe is always a hit! This time I opted for the Egg Salad sloppy joe with red onion. They could be more generous with the pickles. But the sandwich is a hit! I always appreciate that if you ask to sample anything, they're more than happy to oblige. The service is efficient and even if it's crowded they move pretty quickly. It can be a bit overpriced, especially if you want to substitute or add anything. But it's always satisfying and worth it in the end.

Over the weekend I made my at least 5th order here. Every time it is very predictable no matter…read morewhat I get., excellent!!! They have to put a lot of thought and love into everything that they put out. Home of the best Sloppy Joes!! From sandwiches to salad to iced tea and desserts I highly recommend this place. I had to take the time to leave a review this time because I felt it was very overdue. The gobbler sandwich is yummy, The Godfadda, The Gossip Girl, I also have had an egg salad with layer of tuna salad Sloppy Joe-that is amazing! The Cobb salad is also a fave. My friends rave about all the sandwiches they have tried. They are very friendly behind the counter and the order takers are fast and efficient. It gets crowded but moves fast.
