Good bagel shop with sandwiches, lunch, coffee. Bustling, sometimes a little overwhelming, but service is excellent. Bagels are plump, slight chew, overall very good. Parking is challenging. Consider parking on the adjacent street, or across the street. read more

Parking lot is tricky. Tight spots and since it's off a major road you can really wait for people to pull in and out. Has a super cute o it side with tables that makes it feel more like a cafe than typical bagel joint. Inside is large with ample seating as wel Customer service is amazing. Everyone went out of their way to smile and say hello. Offered up a menu in case I wanted something that wasn't listed out. Got a toasted poppyseed with lox spread. The lox spread was delicious. As for the bagel I found it to be a bit more bread like vs chewy bagel style which is what I prefer. read more

Babba's is one of the busiest bagel shops in Union County for a reason - they churn out a diverse set of delicious bagels alongside tasty breakfast sandwiches with consistency and kindness. One warning to those who failed the parking component of the drivers exam - the lot is a nightmare. One half backs up directly onto Terrill, and the whole of the lot has tight spaces. Though I can spot the lines, it appears I may have a hidden super power, as your average patron here will graciously take 2 or more spaces with their compact car. But if you get past that, or just decide to park down the side street or get a lift, you're in for a solid selection of carb-y goodness. My personal favorites are the cinnamon crunch and French toast bagels, which are specialty options beyond your standard choices. You can then top it all off with a handful of unique cream cheeses, or just slather it with standard cream cheese as the Jersey Gods intended. The last thing I'll say is that there's a good group of people there. The woman working the counter and a few other workers, once they get to know your face, are great at anticipating what you need and moving you through the queue quickly. Even if it's your first time, they seem to have a grasp on the chaos so that you don't have to worry about getting your order, or following some unclear rule about which line you're supposed to stand in to place a given order. read more

Babba's Bagels - Flavored cream cheeses of the day - Bagels Near Me - Plainfield, New Jersey

I have been going here for years. I do recommend that you go in person. I have police orders on Grubhub and the orders never come correctly. Something is always a mistake so I recommend going in person. The line is always out of control. You never really know where to stand but when you do get your food, it is always decent. There really isn't a lot of seating in there most of people who are sitting down there waiting to get their food so I wouldn't recommend sitting down in there to eat. read more

Great breakfast sandwiches!! Great service, fast and friendly. Limited indoor seating and parking. Simple decor. Definitely check out their menu for breakfast and lunch!! read more

One of the best bagels you can tell they are love making their bagels. The service is ok sometimes you get great service other times you get the slightly older lady who is very dry at times and rude. A vast large menu and options but the ambiance is small get your food and go feel. read more

I normally only come here on the weekends when I am in the area. I have gotten their pork roll, egg and cheese on a plain bagel or their egg white, spinach and feta wrap. I find that the only problem is their consistency. For example, I bought a wrap on Saturday and everything was cooked perfectly and was delicious. So good that I bought a wrap again on Sunday but it was greasy and way over cooked. I have to say that most of the times my sandwiches are pretty good but when they are not consistent it is pretty disappointing. read more

We love to order from Babba's! Today was a mess up for sure. The ticket attached with our bag had our order correct, but our items weren't. I think they get so busy at times, they forget to check the order before it goes in the bag for delivery:( read more

Great bagels. Loads of choices. Love this place. Try the egg everything bagel, loaded with flavor.

Very clean place. Service was really quick. My order was done in a few minutes and was perfect. Sesame bagel was very light and fresh, Not too dense. read more

They need to consistent and they are cutting back Last week i.ordered two onion bagels with cream cheese tomatoes, onions and lettuce. There was barely a teaspoon of cream cheese, one slice onion a tomatoes and one leaf of lettuce that was brown at the tip. Its a shame because in the begining they were always on top of their game. read more

BEST BAG SHOP IN CENTRAL JERSEY! I live less than a 10 minute drive away from here and of all the bagel spots in my area, this one is my go to all time favorite - hands down! They have a huge variety of bagels that you can pick from and one of my family's favorite including myself is this rainbow bagel - I LOVE THEM! I've never one like this in my area and found it to be super unique. The bag itself it super fresh and very fluffy whereas other bagel shops in the area lack the fluffy and airiness that I get from Babba's. This bag shop is a small section for sitting and eating if you choose to eat inside or outside for the warmer months. They also offer halal platters for lunch which I've never tried as of yet however speaking for the breakfast menu I can say it's great! This place is very very popular and that's how you can tell it really good. The staff is very friendly however it can be a bit hectic and busy for them in the mornings so I ask those who do go to be patient with them. They're all lovely and kind people. This place is definitely a 5/5 and would highly recommend trying it out! read more

The bagels were great. The selection of bagel types were varied. My order was perfectly followed making the service very good!

Best bagels in the area!! They blow bagel bazaar OUT OF THE WATER!! The only thing bagel pantry got on them is more cream cheese options. Every single time I grab bagels at Babba's everyone rants about it. The bagels taste out of this world. The breakfast sandwiches are huge and fill you up. My favorite bagels are the French toast or everything. Scallion cream cheese ALL THE WAY!! The service is decent. It's always busy, so you have to be loud and clear about what you want. Stop by Babb's Bagels read more

Seems like they would be awesome. Gotta find more help for a Sunday! I waited 10 min in line while the only person working took the phone call orders, and prepared the tickets of people already waiting. I wanted to try this place for a while now. I'll come back on a "less busy day!" Also somehow gotta sweep and clean that kitchen.. the bad part about having an open kitchen is customers can see everything! Hope they can get more customer support soon! read more

Babba's Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Plainfield, New Jersey

Babba's Bagels recently opened at the former location of the defunct E-Z Go Mart, on the corner of E. Front St. and Terrill Rd. in Plainfield. They bake and sell a variety of bagels, as well as a small selection of pastries and cookies. Eggs and other grill items are cooked to order, plus a typical selection of cold cut sandwiches, salads, smoked salmon, and cream cheeses. Beverages include self-serve coffee from the commercial Bunn machines, and bottled soft drinks. Babba's opens at 5:30 AM seven days a week, and has its own parking lot. The owner is very nice, and I'm all for supporting local mom & pop businesses. However, I ordered an onion bagel with jalapeno cream cheese ($3), and was not too impressed. My onion bagel was soft and bready, without much flavor, maybe OK for a sandwich, but not up to standing on its own. The cream cheese was good, but he only put on a meager amount, almost all on one side of my bagel (see pic). Sorry, Babba, the best bagels in this neighborhood are half a mile away at the Swiss Pastry Shoppe on E. 2nd St. read more

If you want your food order to be correct, don't order from this dump. Completely screwed up my order. Ordered the Morning Stimulus breakfast sandwich and got an egg and cheese sandwich with peppers. Not even remotely close. Ordered two lunch sandwiches that were supposed to come with either Mac salad or coleslaw. Neither sandwich came with any side. One of the sandwiches was supposed to be on a sub roll, got a regular roll instead. When you call to complain it takes forever to get through a busy signal, probably because other people are calling about their messed up orders. Never again... read more

The freshest bagels in town! I wish they had a big spot as the parking is very tight. They are located on the corner of 2 busy roads (Terrill Road & Front Street). At times parking is impossible but the food is worth it. The prices are very reasonable and the wait time is short. We will continue to support Babba!! read more
