Ordered a pork roll, egg, cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup. Thankfully I was eating at home because the SPK that *should* be on the sandwich was the below. For $9.42 mediocre breakfast sandwich, what an egregious hill to die on simply not putting the SPK on the sandwich. Also who uses a single packet of ketchup? read more

Above average bagels for the area (the bar is set low, though). Bagels decent, good spreads and salads. Awkward ingress/egress though.

We are in the Heights section of Spring Lake and found the local bagelry. Doesn't every town have one or more? Breakfast and lunch are served here. Had a yen for Pork Roll egg & cheese on a bagel. Yes!!! excellent with a cup of Java. Parking is the problem here, not many available spaces. read more

Was in this weekend and the place is a nightmare. Kids running around just lost . My order was completely wrong . I wanted coffee they were empty. Hire people that actually know what they are doing and I waited 30 mi uses for my sandwiches to be wrong. Never again read more

Don't do it. Ordered two bologna sandwiches for a picnic paid about $14 for both and this is what we got. Beyond disappointing EDIT i still ate the sandwich. There were two pieces of plastic from the bologna packaging in it. Insane. The second piece I found was much larger. read more

This bagel place was not it. I heard great things, but it didn't do it for me. placed an order for pickup for salt bagel with plain cream cheese and an everything bagel with sausage egg and cheese. Salt bagel had no salt on it? It seemed to have all burned off? And the cream cheese was not homemade. Sausage egg and cheese had liquid eggs on it and not real eggs, not sure how you can do that these days. Picked up and had to clear the green apple smoke haze out of my way from the cashiers vape. Don't waste your bagel craving here. read more

Bagel and lox was delicious. Long wait of course but happy summer! Careful parking in the front of the store.

Coming from Virginia and hearing all the banter about how fantastic Jersey/NY bagels are, I have never been more let down in my entire life. The lack of fluff and flavor in the bagel was astonishing. It is hard to fathom how this horrific establishment is still selling bagels. But the guy behind the counter was friendly. Food is awful. read more

A business owner should always know why a customer will never darken their doorstep again. In this case it wasn't the soft undercooked bagels or what I can only assume was a significant overcharge. 4 bagels @ $1.20=$4.80 + 1 piece of coffee cake @ $2.25 = $7.05 + a tub of cream cheese that was apparently $7.50 to get the total with tax to $15.60! No, this time it was the Captain of Industry (by that I mean bagel shop owner or manager with 6 employees) that felt the need to humiliate a young lady - not for lack of work - but for cleaning tables when it was apparently someone else's function in front of the entire staff and every customer. And just in case she didn't understand the reprimand, he felt the need to keep at it. He didn't really raise his voice but everyone was thrown by it. My guess is the young lady filling my order was distracted and accidentally over charged us. That is, if the owner isn't planning to retire to Hawaii on cream cheese sales. Perhaps he was a marine corps officer just returning from overseas duty and thought he should treat a 14 year old the same as his seasoned soldiers. I'm sure he had a really good reason and tremendous business acumen to determine the best way to help foster work skills in his young staff is to embarrass them in public rather than correct perceived deficiencies in private. Good job bagel man, I hope to never see you again. read more

I didnt see the biz owner others have mentioned in their reviews for this place, but the 5 kids working the front register and making the bagels orders were very sweet and diligent about getting the order correct. Nice atmosphere. read more

Great assortment of Bagels variety of flavored cream cheeses. Also breakfast and lunch seating available. The 2 girls working the counter were friendly and made or bagels cream cheese lox. So good we went back later to buy a dozen to take home. Located 105 State Rt 71 Spring Lake, NJ 07762 read more

Initially I was excited to learn about this place which is a few blocks away from my summer house. Like most people, I require a fat bagel sandwich and Gatorade following any given night at the shore. My Taylor ham egg and cheese dreams deflated rather quickly due to the repeated awful service I experienced. I've been here at a different times of the day, including when it's not crowded or I'm the only customer at the counter. Not once in my few visits was my order done correctly. There's also a general slowness about the place, that can be easily improved with employees who listen to customers. I will be taking my hungover business to the next door deli for the rest of this summer. read more

Called few times every time same answer when I ask for delivery.... No not today! If a manager can't take care of small things day to day what's the refrigerator look like? Are things being rotated? Either you deliver or you don't. Poor management in front means worse management behind the scenes. read more

My go-to spot for breakfast in the area. Their pork roll sandwiches are packed thick and you can order them on any bagel or roll you want. So flavorful. Staff are always friendly, and service is generally quick. Be prepared if you come here on a weekend during prime breakfast hours, especially in the summer, because I've seen the line out the door. There's a reason for that. read more

At $4.75 for a hardy and delicious pork roll egg and cheese sandwich the BB has now become the go place for catladyjan and myself for this quintessential Jersey delight. Try it on a bagel or have it on a bun but do try one! read more

Bagel basket is definitely my favorite bagel spot near the beach. Bagels are cooked perfectly, they don't skimp on the egg or toppings, and the staff there is awesome! I would definitely reccommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing breakfast/lunch spot. read more

best Taylor ham and cheese sandwich I've ever had, my family has been coming here since I was 9 I visited again today and 10 years later it's the same people and the same amazing food. Highly recommend even if it's a drive! read more

I am done!!! Officially banning this place. Horrible customer service, they always screw up the order and the food is not that good. The owner is a hot mess and so unprofessional. After several times of our order being messed up, he didn't even apologize for the inconvenience. The staff is very rude, it's just a very unorganized and no one seems like they want to be there. read more

Went here today for the first time. My husband got a bagel with "homemade" strawberry cream cheese and I got a pork roll egg and cheese on a sesame bagel. The bagels were ok. Not quite as soft as lenders. The eggs were pretty gross. They were scrambled and just...nasty. The crowning moment of the experience was when the "homemade" strawberry cc came out of a philly cream cheese container!!!!!! read more

This place is awesome. The food is fresh, the bagels are the real deal and the service, especially by young Dan, is on point.

Great place if you want just a bagel. If you want a sandwich you will wait a very long time. Sandwiches are very good, but the wait time is excruciating. Also, you should have customers pay right after they order. Otherwise you wait in line to order, then wait for your order...then when it comes out, it's chaos trying to pay. Bottom line: Good food, but anything beyond a bagel with cream cheese and you are going to stand around waiting awkwardly. read more

Best everything bagels I've ever had. So much everything seasoning and it doesn't easily fall off like most that I've had. Delicious.

I wouldn't even give this place 1 star. The eggs were gross and so were their bagels. I thought jersey was known for their bagels? Service was good breakfast sandwich was below average for a place called bagel basket. read more

I've had these bagels a few times as a bagel sandwich - loaded with an egg, cheese and some breakfast meat they do the job. Which is to hold it all together till it gets in my mouth. But, just last weekend we bought a half dozen different flavored bagels to eat with cream cheese. I'm sad to say it was no better than a Lender's bagel you could find in your grocer's freezer. I don't eat bagels often, but I'll be looking for another bagel shop in the area. read more

The bagels are okay but if you want REALLY good bagels go to Deal or Lakewood.

Good af. Go here food is great and wonderful employees. Would def recommend the Porkroll egg and cheese on hard roll

The service was terrible. We waited 35 minutes for 2 bagels and some pancakes. The bagels were hard. Tasted like they were made 2 weeks ago. There's a lot of other places in the area. I would stay away from this one! You've been warned! read more

Excellent bagels, good coffee! Scott does a great job at providing a quality product and excellent service. I always go back when I visit NJ. read more

Fantastic bagels. I stopped on my way back from a campground about 5 miles away. I had a bacon and egg on a cheddar bagel. I have never had a cheddar bagel before (obviously being from NJ I have had 100 other kinds of bagels) but it was definitely the right choice. My boyfriend had a bacon, egg and cheese on everything. We ate the sandwiches so fast because they were delicious. There was a small line when we got there but we were in and out of the store in 10 minutes. If I'm in the area again, I will be sure to stop by. read more

Good bagel, very friendly staff, clean interior. What more do you need to know about a place called bagel basket? I had the salmon spread on my everything bagel, which was good but not great. The bagel itself was great, can't complain. read more

This is my go-to breakfast place. Their bagels are great, they have great breakfast sandwiches, and the big breakfast special is a deal for only $5. If you want lunch, they handle that too with great wraps, subs, and sandwiches. It can get really busy on weekends, especially in the summer, so it's a good idea to call you order in ahead and pick it up. Otherwise, you could be waiting for a half an hour. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

The owner is the nicest guy- so friendly and remembers your face. They have the best bagels I've ever had and it's the go-to place for my family and me to get breakfast. They have great lunch options, too. You can't beat the reasonable prices! read more

Best bagels in town, their pork roll sandwiches are great ! The employees are always so friendly and always greet you with a smile! Love going here read more

This is my "go-to" spot in Spring Lake Heights....I can literally walk there and I go there all the time. The bagels are big and delicious. They serve them with a variety of cream cheeses too, which is nice. The cold subs/sandwiches are very tasty too and their burgers are good as well. The staff has always been friendly to me and i like that they take debit cards. There's a nice flatscreen TV inside and it's always clean too. I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

This is our go-to bagel shop. My husband loves their pork roll and their bagels are always fresh. Friendly staff too!

Best bagel I have had in a long time. Raspberry crumb cake was delicious. Service was great!

People are mean on here. I think we do a good job. I personally like my job, although I might be one of the fore mentioned, favorited 15 year-olds. Also, we are in fact a bagel place and do have quite an inclusive menu that can be hard to keep up with sometimes so please be patient and considerate. Thanks. Do go to Bagel Basket. Enjoy your day. Love you Scott. read more

Bagels were fantastic... Warm, crusty and the cream cheese was very tasty!! Staff was friendly and worked thru a long line very efficiently. Only reason didn't give them 5 stars is because hey forgot something with out to go order; however, they fixed the issue quickly. read more

The owner is a very nice man, and the food is good, However, I went there and paid cash for a tip, and a worker decided to make his own tip on my credit card. This is the first time this ever happened to me, so I'm quite annoyed. Its the principal, not the few bucks. read more

Scott and his team do a terrific job in welcoming you to this impeccably clean, cheerful spot. The food is fresh and offers great value. This has been my weekend stop for the last several years and I have introduced dozens of people to the Bagel Basket. Trust me, you'll enjoy it. read more
