Bagels are the best around by far. However, the customer service is unfortunately lacking. There is a large staff on hand but most are, what appears to be taking care of the phone/website orders. I've been in extensive lines in which people are becoming frustrated due to the lack of movement of the line. I timed it today and there were seven people ahead of me. It took me 22 minutes to get my two bagels. I'm quickly losing my neediness for bagels. My two cents - There should be a staff to wait on the customers in side the store and a staff to prepare the phone/website orders. It's disappointing that the entire staff (owner included) is losing focus on the customers at hand since it's them who helped make the business what it is today. read more

Great bagels and bialys toasted. This place is very popular and most crowded on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Their cream cheese and spreads are delicious. Their baked goods like carrot cakes and chocolate brownies are very good too. The best time to go with the least wait is in the afternoons. They are open from 5:00am to 5:00pm which is really convenient. The staff is nice and accommodating. Their hot coffee is very good too. A little bit more expensive than I expected, but worth it on special occasions when you need a quick dozen bagels. It's good to get a sandwich there to eat in at their tables or to take out. read more

Yes, this place is extremely over priced for a bagel, and yes the staff can be rude at times. However, if you are from the area and you know a good bagel when you taste one, you know this is the only place your spending your money on for a bagel outside of NYC. These bagels are so good you can eat them with nothing on them and I guarantee nothing else in the area compares. read more

I wanted to have food delivered to my sisters team at the Raritan Bay Hospital and Rich from Bagel Boy was a pleasure to work with. He took the time to listen to what I wanted to send and put together a great spread for them to enjoy. They made a variety of different sandwiches, potato and macaroni salads, fruit, a cookie tray and a box of coffee. My sister and her team were so appreciative and grateful to have a great meal as a surprise during their day. Thank you Bagel Boy! read more

There bagels are pretty good- they are big and airy, with a little crunch on the outside. The problem is when these bagels bake, they stick to the conveyer they are placed on, and the grate cooks marks into the bottom of the bagels. That also seems to take all the toppings off the bagel, so my everything bagel only had everything seasoning on the top. A little bummed about that. Cinnamon walnut cream cheese was too sweet and had too much cinnamon in it. The scallion cream cheese good. Overall, not a perfect bagel, but some of the best I've found in the area. read more

Sign on the door and on here says you are open till 8. But you close at 5. Saved me the aggravation and money since you are over priced anyway. read more

Honestly, been coming here since for the last 12 years. Probably not going back. Food is great but I get racist vibes from the manager/owner. Treats everyone white around me with awesome hospitality but ignores or doesn't acknowledge me when I'm obviously the next one up. I was doubtful until I read some of the reviews already posted here. Very unfortunate because I loved eating their food. read more

Called to place a phone order. Lady was extremely rude when telling me they haven't done phone orders in 3.5 years. For someone that has never been to this place it's very hard to have any knowledge of that. Sadly this was the only place on my way so I had to stop in and right after I placed my order she gave a look to a coworker and started to talk about me. Extremely rude and disrespectful and she should not work in customer service industry if she can't handle a simple question over the phone read more

Hands down one of the best places to get breakfast food from in Jersey!! If you're not from Jersey, we take pride and have strong feelings about where we get our bagels from because, to be honest, good bagels make all the difference when you have breakfast. They are a very busy super-deli that make a lot of great food. Their bagels are top ten in the state, if not a little higher. They offer several different cream cheese options, from chocolate chip to walnut. They make different kinds of sandwiches and wraps and salads, and they also offer up a beverage bar! This place is the best. read more

Super disappointed. I went very early in the morning, still dark out. Ordered an egg bagel with cream cheese. I get out to my car and on the road to work and take a bite, had to spit it out because my egg bagel was loaded with poppy seeds!! Why? Just why?? How disgusting and disappointing. Not to mention that poppyseed is an allergen, why would you give this to an unsuspecting customer that asked for an egg bagel!? read more

This place is horrible when it comes to service I don't know why it is always packed to be honest . firstly they messed up our orders twice on two different occasions my boyfriend ordered a pork roll egg and cheese and they gave me someone else's order that had bacon, sausage and porkroll on it so they messed up that order . and then another time my boyfriend ordered a sandwich for me that had lettuce and tomato and it only had tomato. They don't even pack their bagels , my usual is a pork roll egg and cheese, and they skimp out on the pork roll with like two slices . I do not like to leave bad reviews but this bagel spot is seriously not that great. read more

I don't understand how hard it is to put salt pepper and ketchup on a bagel when you said it twice so they remembered. charging so much for basically a plain bagel. this isn't the first time read more

Service is bad and slow. Bagels are okay. Expected better.

Great spot! Delicious and plump bagels, very comparable to NY. Great assortment of spreads and salads. I am especially grateful for their selection of vegan cream cheeses. Wonderful staff who are friendly. Lovely beverage selection and a nice eating area. Regular customer who will continue to return! read more

Great bagels with a lot of choices for the spreads. Only thing they could use my help since the lines are usually long.

I love bagel boy because they always have fresh bagels. Their employees all have good attitudes and talk to me every time I come in. I tried their new donuts and got the white chocolate chip one, which was delicious! I recommend getting light cream cheese if you don't enjoy a lot of it on the bagels, but overall the store has a good atmosphere and always pulls through when I'm in the mood for a good bagel! read more

My go to place back home. I wish I could take this place with my down to the Philly area. Their bagels are some, if not the best, in my opinion, in the area. They offer a wide variety of bagels and their everything bagel has great flavor and just enough salt on it. Every time I'm back in the area, I try to stop by and pick up a bagel. read more

Bagel Boy - everything bagel w/ scallion cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

Very good bagel store and the crowds demonstrate that. The place on the weekend is an absolute zoo, prices are higher across the board than local bagel shops in the area. The quality of their product allows them to get the prices that get. read more

Excellent bagels, excellent hours. It's in a great location and they are always baking something. The bagels are extremely fresh, doughy, and have terrific flavor. I've also had their bakery items and they are something not to forget! Their spreads are also very good. They are also always busy. The lines are usually to the door but they keep people moving so that helps out a lot during its morning rushes. The northeast has a plethora of bagel shops so there's never an occasion to feel really disappointed, but this one hits the nail on the head. They also cater, and I totally recommend using them for your next gathering or luncheon! read more

I gave bagel boy another chance (when it came to buying sandwiches) because the bagels yes are great but, never again. Had I opened this in the store I would have refused to pay for it. Very disappointing. To charge over $5 for bread and ketchup is a disgrace. read more

Bagel Boy - This is an over $5 bacon egg and cheese on a roll. - Bagels Near Me - Old Bridge, New Jersey

Rude and nasty. Online ordering system is horrible and no over the phone orders. They're almost pissed to make your order. No not recommend.

Great spot to get your eat on especially early in the morning. This is where my co worker gets her bagels in the morning to drop it off in our work lounge area. My favorite here is the garlic bagel. They can add a little more garlic in it though. You can never have too many garlic I think. You wanna start the morning right, go here if you live near the area. You dont believe me? Ask the Old Bridge cops who always hang around here. Oh yeah space wise, its so big in there, you can play flag football. read more

Been looking for an above average bagel place in central jersey for some time and this place is pretty good! I got a toasted sesame bagel with sundries tomato cream cheese, rotini pasta salad, and a side of fruit. The quality of everything was good, fresh and tasty! They have an amazing selection of things, from their many cream cheese flavors to their many pasta salad choices to their bakery selection! Going to have to go back and try an egg bagel sandwich to solidify this review. read more

Arrogant. They close at 5pm on Friday. Doors were locked at 4:52. Workers were all inside and could care less. Not cool when you rushed and drive 8 miles. Will go somewhere else. read more

Bagel boy is my favorite bagel spot in NJ! I always come here for a breakfast sandwich when I visit some weekends.. in fact I drive 15 minutes out of my way to get here from my mother's house. I could easily go to other bagel places closer to me but this is MY FAVORITE! I even buy in bulk (because I live in Connecticut) and freeze them. My favorite is the blueberry. The blueberry flavor is the strongest I've ever had in a blueberry and I love that! You can even SEE the chunks of blueberry!!!! read more

Stopped here around 8 on a Tuesday morning. All the food seemed fresh and there's a large area for eating in. Prices are average. I ordered a BEC on a bagel and egg whites with tomato on a roll. I waited about ten minutes. It seems many people call orders ahead. The sandwiches were good. Service was friendly. I would go back. read more

Great bagel joint in Old Bridge, although in no way is it any different from any other bagel shop you'll go to in NJ. The bagels are good and they have a wide selection of different kinds. Unfortunately, can't say the same about cream cheese options. They do have quite a big array of breakfast items, sandwiches, and salads to choose from though if you're not feeling a bagel. Prices are decent and staff is good. There is always a huge line (a line so long, it's often wrapped around the establishment). The staff works hard to keep things moving fairly quickly though. This probably explains why they have no time to small talk or even smile when taking your order. I would definitely consider this my bagel go to when in the area. Although nothing to rave to friends about or even crave, it will get the job done! read more

This is a quality over quantity. The service is great, people are friendly, place is very clean and food is good. But if you order a breakfast sandwich. They are ok but they use 1 egg 2 strips of bacon. So was more bread then additions. read more

This is NJ. There is no lack of bagel places, so it is my belief a company with a lot of competition should never rest on it's laurels. For thanksgiving I called in an order for 2 and 1/2 dozen muffins. They told me it would be no problem and that I could come pick them up when they opened. I was there around 530. The muffins were wrapped and ready to go. I get a coffee, pay 65 bucks or so for them, and go to work to share the love. I open the boxes only to see that two of the muffins were absolutely burnt. I was so disappointed. Especially since I talked this place up to my coworkers. With the boxes being wrapped up I didn't get to see the product until it was too late. Frankly, the muffins weren't even that good. Not what I remember. read more

VEGAN CREAM CHEESE! 2 types of vegan cream cheese - scallion & vegetable. And they're both delicious! Rich and creamy and really tasty. They have a great bagel selection, and they have lots of prepared deli items. They also have lots of sandwiches and salads, etc. Hot & Iced coffee in lots of different flavors. Only thing they do not have is non dairy creamer. Great spot to stop and get coffee and a bagel. They also have a moderate sized seating area with TVs so you can sit and enjoy your breakfast/lunch. read more

No argument Bagel boys has the best Bagels in Old Bridge. They can be very busy on the weekend so except to wait on a line.

I can't believe I don't have a review in for bagel boy. This was a staple during my high school years, and now I take my husband here each time we are back in town. There's no bagel like a jersey bagel, and no bagel like bagel boy. My husband swears by this place now. When we're in town, he gets a dozen or two to hold him over until we return. He freezes them and they heat up perfectly. Their homemade cream cheeses are great too, make sure you get larges because you will run out! Love their cinnamon raisin bagel the best and my husband would eat their everything bagel all day everyday if I let him. Definitely pop in for a bagel or 12! read more

I ordered food from this place using their on-line service, as they suggest. It said the food would be ready in 35 minutes. I at Bagel Boy 30 minutes later. I waited in line and then told the man at the counter that I was picking up and gave my name. He looked for the order. Nobody seemed to know where it was. He told me it would be a couple of minutes. People walked in Bagel Boy ordered the same sandwich (pork roll egg and cheese) and got it and left. I was still standing there. I asked the man at the counter where my order was. Another man came over and started yelling at me that they had a problem with the system and they didn't know about my order. When I explained that I told the man at the counter about it 25 minutes later I got more yelling from this second guy and he told me to just wait there until it was ready. His demeanor was threatening and aggressive. Several people walked out with me. Never again. read more

Submitted an online order and arrived five minutes before it was supposed to be ready. Waited behind one other pick up customer then stepped up to the register to be helped next. Seven people waiting in line to place orders were served and walked out the door before anyone even bothered to acknowledge my existence and that's after I said, "excuse me" to the counter guy. Finally someone asked for my name 20 minutes after my order was supposed to be ready. He apologized and said he would make it next. He then tells me part of my order can't be filled because now they're out of the item so I replace it. When I get home, my salad is soaked (I could literally pour the dressing out!) in salad dressing and inedible. I know everyone has an off day but this was exceptionally bad service in addition to a bad meal. read more

Very very good. I really hope this place never closes. The low carb bagel is just awesome.

Went for for first time today. Got 4 bagels, charged for 5. The girl behind the counter was nasty as can be. She should learn how to deal with customers. Maybe if she was paying attention I wouldn't have been overcharged read more

Great bagels and food altogether. Extremely busy at times which tells you how good it is. The only down side to that is it might be very loud and they might not hear your order clearly, or they might rush to make it. Also the staff can come off a bit rude and impatient at times. Overall though, excellent place for a bagel or sandwich, the food won't disappoint and the staff is only a very temporary part of your day. I wish the owner would read the reviews and coach the staff accordingly because it's such an easy fix. read more
