This place is just...bad. The place is dingy and old looking which sometimes means the food is great. That is not the case here. They constantly mess up my order, the bagels are very small, not giving that crusty, fluffy inside you expect from a New Jersey bagel shop. It's not worth the price and it's not worth the calories. read more

Showed up right before closing and was treated by such a kind man Not a large location but they do offer a variety of bagels and coffee. read more

PRICE GOUGING!! Stay away!! This place has always been charging higher prices for years but now they are charging $3.99 for an egg & cheese with a single egg on a bagel. They've gotten orders wrong for quite a while too. Unless you want to just pick up bagels strictly I'd highly advise staying away from here. Not worth the hassle. read more

Haven't been here in 2 years apparently nothing has changed.While waiting for our order we noticed all of the dirt and the dead bugs on the ledge in front of the window.We pointed it out to one of the young girls working and she giggled and said it's not a big deal because they leave the door open at night.We said this is a food place there shouldn't be dirt and dead bugs,She actually said it's no big deal! We said perhaps the health department will think it's a big deal again she laughed and said they don't care. We were dumb founded at her response!!!! read more

Completely disgusting that i took a bite of my breakfast Sandwich and had a long strand of hair in my mouth .. i called and told them they should wear hairnets , the lady on the phone said it's women that works here it happens & you're not the only person this happened to.. it's taking everything in me not to go back there and slap somebody.. read more

Amazing Bagel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Parlin, New Jersey

For now this place is just A-ok... Look during these crazy times, shops like this are definitely struggling to survive. Ordering via Grubhub/DoorDash are keeping them afloat. They have a pretty extensive menu for breakfast/lunch and some tables inside, but of course that's currently not happening. Finding a place for my bagels and local found this place last weekend. A dozen (plus 3 free) will cost $9.99 and definitely come early. They are fresh and go pretty quick on a Sunday. Believe that they have another location in East Brunswick that also does catering along with this one. And yes, they serve breakfast all day long. Down here ( Middlesex County) think this is the starting point in Jersey for is it Taylor Ham/Pork Roll debate. :) I'm now in Pork Roll territory ( formerly Taylor Ham). Just hope that indoor dining opens up soon. This place is to small and doesn't have outdoor options as a possibility. read more

I am extremely disappointed. I usually love this place and the sandwiches never disappoint. But today I order pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches with extra cheese and pork roll and I got bacon instead and no extra cheese which I was charged for. I called and the lady on the phone didn't even sound the slightest bit sorry. And I couldn't go back for another because I had work. Not only that but my boyfriend bit into his sandwich and found an egg shell the size of my finger nail. read more

I called ahead and ordered a turkey club. It wasn't a club it was a sandwich they gave me. The price online was 7.99. I was charged almost 15 w tax. When I called to question this I was told they had "remodeled "the menu and prices changed. And I was HUNG UP on. I called back and it rang forever and someone different answerd. When I explained again why I was calling I was told they don't control the menu. Apparently they don't control their employees either. Definitely not returning. read more

Honestly they cannot even get the simplest order correct. In there almost daily and just about 90% of the time the order is wrong.. how is that possible? I literally get the easiest thing and they cannot remember to get it right. Then of course there is the lack of customer service from the two younger staff, is it that hard to just be nice to your patrons who tip every time they order. The last visit was the last chance and that is why i now leave this review and must find another spot to get breakfast. Shame because the older guys or owners seem like good people. read more

Great place and great food I'm not sure what all the negative reviews are about the food is fresh and if you order a platter, and comes with a free coffee, I think everybody just likes to complain complain, complain, and leave a negative review, but my experience was quite the opposite. nice friendly service, fresh and quick. read more

I literally have been here several days last week because I'm pregnant , I like my bagel made a certain way and they made it perfect each time. TODAY ! I ordered my bagel the same way that I have been getting it made. Idk who made it but I called because it wasn't made to my liking so they said they would make it over. Obviously whomever made it was upset because when I came to pick it up he threw it on the counter and it was worse then the previous one . I was really starting to like this place but it's clear that I won't be spending any more money here. Smfh. read more

Amazing Bagel - The bagel is clearly burnt - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Parlin, New Jersey

The food here is amazing, the pork roll sandwich is to die for. Amazing taste and they give you a good amount of food for good price!!!

Brunette younger worker is the rudest person I have ever met. She also can't count. Constantly over charging. Tried to charge my husband $18 dollars for 2 plain bagels. This place is ridiculous read more

I went in the middle of the week and no one was in there, but the service was still very slow and they took their time. Then when I did order, I was told it was $9. And when I checked my app, they charged me $10. Def not happy about that read more

I have been frequenting this shop for about 3 yrs and would consider myself a "regular." I go a little further to make it here instead of another local shop, because they have really fresh coffee. But the last few times I was there I was yelled at by, who I believe is the manager or owner. Brown hair, fair skin man. They were out of coffee cup sleeves so I used a second cup, you know, to not burn my hand. And you had to see him, pacing back and forward when he saw the cup laying on the counter when I was ready to pay. He yelled at me asking me if they are out of sleeves and why am I using a second cup, he wanted to charge me extra. He did it in such an aggressive and nasty way. As much as I love their coffee, I'm officially done with this place. Such a shame. read more

Bagels are always stale. Never hot and fresh like any other bagel shop u go to. Another hard bagel this morning. It's across the street the only reason I even attempt to like this place read more

Well this place was my favorite bagel spot but apparently they are under new ownership and they have dropped to below the standard of NJ bagels. The actual bagel doesn't have much flavor and the everything seasoning they used to have was amazing, especially the salt but now it tastes like nothing and I'm extremely disappointed. The veggie cream cheese from the old ownership used to be really flavorful and cut perfectly thin, but now they just chop everything into big cubes and it's super hard pieces now. I can't even explain how bummed I am. Please find out the old recipes or stop trying to cut costs and please go back to the old recipes. This place isn't going to make it long if you don't. When I first moved here everyone told me about this place and word travels fast. It's not going to take long for all the locals that loved this spot to realize things have changed. Damn man, I'm super disappointed. This makes me so sad. Rip to my favorite spot. read more

Amazing Bagel - They changed their recipes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Parlin, New Jersey

The service was sub par and the food sucked i am returning it the bagel was soaked in butter if thats your style there bagels will be perfect thats a matter of preference but the breakfast which is pictured is horrible.

I have to tell my coworkers this is the wronger answer to my question. read more

Worst pork roll egg and cheese. Shaved thin pork roll two slices. You opened the sandwich and there is nothing in there. Definitely not worth the money for just eating bread. read more

Went today for a Turkey and cheese on an everything bagel and pork roll and cheese on a roll....I got pork roll and cheese on the everything bagel and turkey and cheese on the roll. Probably could have lived with that because it happens sometimes except they charged me $11.99 for Turkey and cheese on a roll. TURKEY AND CHEESE ON A ROLL... I questioned it and they told me that that was the correct price. I understand that prices went up across the board all over but how do you justify that??? I always try supporting small businesses because I work for one and know all about that but right now I can't afford it. read more

worst bagels ever!!! holes so big your bagel is half the size!!!! shame on you for the price you charge for half a bagel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This place is "just okay". I live up the block so it's really convenient to grab quick breakfast in the morning. It's cheap and average so it works, but they near never get my order right. It's frustrating because sometimes my order includes stuff for other people and it's just simply always wrong. If you ask for a bagel on the side, you are getting toast. If you ask for butter, expect cream cheese. read more

Stopped in there this morning to grab a bagel and some coffee. Place was nicely renovated (there was another bagel place there prior), clean and bright. Staff were really attentive. Owner came up and greeted me, and was telling me about his other places (one in Ocean and one in East Brunswick). Love the menu, all-day breakfast, good pricing, and of course, most importantly, the bagel was good (fresh and good size)--not as big as NY style bagels, but definitely better than a Dunkin bagel. Also, they deliver! That's always a plus in my book. Give them a try. read more

Absolutely love the bagels! They spinach which no one makes anymore. My favorite is the whole wheat everything. Old school style bagels done right! read more

Sadly this was my favorite bagel spot in parlin but it has recently been closed due to fire.

Got the grilled chicken club on an everything bagel and was way better then anticipation. Got the sandwich, fries, and small can of soda for under 8 bucks? You can't beat it. Staff was friendly as well. I'll for sure be back! read more

Amazing Bagel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Parlin, New Jersey

This place is mediocre at best. The bagels are TINY compared to other places. I've gotten breakfast sandwiches before and it's subpar, one egg with two slices of bacon on a tiny bagel...no thanks. If your in a rush, bind, or your expectations are low this is your spot. read more

Have been going here frequently since working from home. Food is delicious and reasonably priced. Everything bagel w/egg, cheese, and porkroll, along with an OJ- YUMM. I've read many bad reviews on here about the owner, but my experience with them has been nothing but friendly and nice. Support small businesses! read more

It does not get better than this. The bagels are incredible. My wife gets the asiago cheese bagel with cream cheese. I usually get the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel on asiago (asiago is our favorite bagel here). The staff is great, the food is prepared pretty quickly even if the restaurant is full. The people who work there are very nice. My wife and I love this place so much we have become regulars. read more

Never order from them through door dash. Ordered half a dozen bagels with specifications as to half plain with butter and half whole wheat with cream cheese. Well the entire order came all plain, no butter or cream cheese. This is the second time they've done this in a row! Pointless order. Especially when you don't have condiments at home! Will never order from this bagel place again. read more

Had a bagel here for the first time. Very reasonable price. Cannot complain.

The guy is a JERK that seems to cook and manage the place. The food is good. I HATE dealing with him because hea actually a joke to me

Always great service, fresh food, Awesome staff, Wagih and the crew will always make you feel like family, Fresh great tasting coffee, Cant go wrong!! read more

This place sucks they never get your order right and the bagels are like eating rubber. If I order a sub and I tell them what I want on it why must they add things I didn't order like tomatoes if I wanted damn tomatoes I would ask for them! Not to mention they are stingy with the meat barely any meat on a sub really if I wanted a bread sandwich with tomatoes I would have ordered that! !!! And the owner (the fat one) is a rude grump. I now go to Madison deli on Rt 34 they are the best so friendly great prices and great food unlike this over priced place! It was better when it was Parlin bagels read more

For someone who likes chocolate chip bagels like me, they have them! Already this place was looking good. But this place is awesome. Fresh bagels, good omlettes, and low prices. Definitely as the name would suggest...AMAZING. read more

Tried this place for the first time instead of going to Bagel 1. Wish I just went there. The everything bagel was over cooked and dry. They smeared on so much cream cheese onto it probably to disguise the bagels lack of quality. It is cheap but you get what you pay for. Rather pay more for a legit jersey bagel. Only come here if you're broke. read more

HORRIBLE!!!!!! If I could give it negative stars I would. My wife called to place a pick up order on Christmas morning because they were the only place open. She was left on hold for 15 minutes. No exaggeration. Literally 15 minutes! I drove there, told them my wife is currently on hold, and the guy looked at me and said "what do you want from us, we're busy". Really? I said you don't leave someone on hold for 15 minutes. Then the disgusting grill cook started arguing with me saying, "Look. We're busy. We're open for you. We don't have to be here. We open on the holiday for you!" Are you kidding me? I know you're busy (you're the only place open) but if all you're gonna do is bitch to your customers about being open on Christmas then... DON'T OPEN ON CHRISTMAS! Not one "we're sorry" or any kind of apology was given. He tried to take my order and I just said forget it and walked out. I will never go here again. Besides bring over priced, they are completely rude to their customers. Stay away! read more

This is our 2nd time ordering from this location with issues. The first time we ordered we asked for a total to leave at the door of our work, and we had to call several times just to get a total. We ordered today, asking if they could deliver at a certain time, and were told they could. Again, no total was given, and I was told I would be called back with a total. I was not. I called back moments before delivery was supposed to be made and asked for the total, and was put on hold until the math was done. I then asked if our delivery would be here, and was told the business was busy but it was on its way. Not only did our order not arrive on time, it was 25 minutes late. Our lunch break was over at this point. When I called back a 3rd time asking where the delivery was and why we were told it would arrive on time, the man on the phone said he tried his best but the driver had left a long time ago. The bagel store is probably 3 minutes away, so I don't get how it was 25 minutes late if it had already left. On top of this, our order was incorrect. We will never order from this bagel store again. Oh, and there was also a $2 delivery fee we weren't told about! read more

Despite some poor reviews, we took a chance on this place. Not disappointed at all. Fresh bagels make delicious egg sandwiches. Bacon, sausage and Taylor Ham were all good too. Fresh coffee too! read more

Me and my girlfriend usually go to bagel one. Today we wanted to try something different. Bad choice. There wasn't that many people in the store and it took us 15 minutes to order. When my girlfriend order her food with peppers and onions the guy with the glasses who took our order questioned what she wanted and gave us dirty looks. It was not a hard order at all. Egg cheese peppers and onions on a whole wheat bagel and the guy seemed confused. People got their food before us that ordered after. The eggs were undercooked and it just wasn't good. Probably won't be returning here. read more
