One of the worst delivery experiences ever with ordering a bagel and coffee on Uber Eats. Aside from being 30 mins late and missing items, the coffee leaked all over the bag and soaked the no longer warm bagel with cream cheese. Delightfully suitable for the trash. The best part is that neither the store nor uber eats would make it right with a refund or new food. And negative bonus points for the curly black hair that was stuck in the coffee packaging. read more

I had to sit with this review for awhile before writing an in-depth review. I'm originally from Philly, and not the suburbs, but I spend half my time in North Jersey before I fully move to the area. I'm still getting to know the surrounding areas and roads, so being introduced to Bagel Buffet has been really enjoyable. This is the first place my man brought me to back in January when we first started seeing each other. I won't lie, I was overwhelmed with the choices. But everything looked amazing & inviting, and you could tell business was great because of all the hustle and bustle. So let's just get into it shall we? PARKING The establishment shares a parking lot with other establishments. These are the pull in frontwards at an angle spaces. They are not my favorite, but according to Google, angled parking fits more cars in a tight space. The flow of traffic is all one way. Parking is really hard to find during very busy times, like morning rush hour for example. As someone who is petite, drives a tiny car, and is used to reversing into any and all spots to leave easily and faster, these spaces and parking lot are not my favorite. Reversing out is not easier and is kind of difficult, especially if a big truck parks next to my tiny car blocking my view. It's great that the last few times my man and I came here was during less busier times where there was ample parking. But I'm still not a good judge at pulling my car in frontwards. Let me parallel park for you with no lines bumper to bumper, or reverse a car into any spot for you, but frontwards... that's always going to be a conundrum to me. ATMOSPHERE & MENU OPTIONS I do enjoy the warmth of this establishment. Everyone was really welcoming, and I had such lovely conversations with a few of the workers, especially Richard. I had the pleasure of meeting Richard last time we dined here, and he was just awesome. One of the most amazing conversations I've ever had. I felt very welcomed. I did feel very awkward and apologetic about taking so many photos, but I meant no ill will. I do love scrapbooking and journaling in my spare time, so I love documenting, but I also do enjoy writing reviews as well and have a whole website around them called "dreamlikediana" for various interests. Interior design wise, I do enjoy the browns, reds, and warm lighting, but I do feel like all the menu boards blend in with each other. I don't know where to look in terms of them and it truly feels a tad bit overwhelming. I took the photos originally, not for a review per se, but because I really wanted to study what were my menu options. I'm a foodie. I am always down to always try something new. I feel like the menu boards don't serve me well, and when I come in next time I'm going to ask for a printed menu. Maybe that will help my choice overload and can plan other options to try in the future. Because even now, I definitely feel overwhelmed looking at all the boards. I don't know where to look, and maybe that's just me? I, of course, even multiple times coming in here, I let my eyes shop. My eyes grab onto something and I don't let go. I'm glad the deli cases do exist! Like I said, there's just so many amazing options and everything I've had thus far from smoothies, to parfaits, to the paninis, everything has been so flavorful and so delicious! The deli cases are a little frosted though at times which can be hard to see the options within them. I'm still thinking about the Tuscan Panini I had here last time. I need another one ASAP. My man has been coming here for years and it's such a healthy option, very clean eating, when we are on the go. SEATING There is ample seating which is nice, but all the mirrors throw me off. But it's also great because you don't have to go to the bathroom to see if you got anything on your face after eating. I love the fact that there is seating. I don't always want to eat in my car, despite being used to it, so it was really nice to sit down for a change and really enjoy my meal. OVERALL I'm definitely going to be a returning customer, and I really hope to try more on the menu as time goes on. Especially the more I get acquainted with the place. Definitely click the "See all photos" button under my review because I plan to update every so often with new photos of food from the menu and rate them separately on the caption. read more

Loved the bagel here! Very fresh and tasted really good. The bacon egg and cheese was delicious and cooked well. Price is also good and the employees were nice. They do get very busy especially during breakfast time so you'll wait a little while but it's worth it. I'll definitely be back. read more

Bagels are fresh. Always satisfied with the quality. It seems to have gotten more expensive but it doesn't bother me too much. Service is quick and great for the most part, but it can get very busy. One employee often had a sourpuss face, but I think they no longer work there. The seating is spacious, atmosphere is lounge-like. It's nice when it's quiet. read more

Don't know what happened to these once "head of the pack" bagels. They had a uniqueness that made NY Jewish bagel experts sit up and take notice even above the undisputed NYC champion H&H. 40 years in Secaucus, my family saw them come and now unfortunately watched them go. What were once large, crispy exterior bagels , with a slightly sweet wonderful soft with the perfect chew interior, have now turned into industrial product that you'd expect from a stainless steel coffee truck or a mass production operation. Small, undercooked with , God help us, a new addition, never needed before, coarse grain cornmeal on the underside in such abundance that it not only detracted from the mouthfeel experience, but it could almost be seen as "cornmeal " flavor, in other words as much cornmeal on the bottom as sesame seeds or poppy or everything on top. These were once THE ABSOLUTE BEST, but now they are average and blend in with the mediocre products that chain shops produce. Please go back to what you once were I know you remember what your original concept was and it worked, don't cut corners for any reason, don't compromise ...excel! read more

Horrible how I waited about a hour and 30 minutes for my delivery person to find out the driver left my food downstairs with out a single call to me, couldn't even enjoy my focaccia bread was extremely soggy to the point the bottom piece was falling off, And on top of that a five dollar delivery fee was added to my card, for a driver who didn't do his job properly. So disappointed! read more

This place has consistently gone down hill. Haven't ordered in a bit but today my daughter asked me to. Ordered 6 bagels with Taylor, Ham, Egg & Cheese paid $42. I get home and my daughter takes a bite and says the Taylor Ham tastes weird. I unwrap mine and the Taylor Ham looks weird looking, some pieces look gray in spots, some green. I called up to tell them and they didn't seem to care or even ask me to bring down to show them. Luckily I had a few pieces of Taylor Ham in a package that I cooked up to salvage 2 of the 6 sandwiches. Spoke to a manager there (M) he said "Not sure why that is, sometimes we cook the taylor ham ahead of time and keep it in the warmer." How long are you keeping it in a warmer that the meat looks and tastes bad? Sad because they used to be great. What happened, idk. Quantity and quality is no longer good! Lost a customer today, with the could care less comment of "I'm not saying you're lying!" read more

We wanted to try something new, decided to DoorDash breakfast from here. The sandwich was burnt and tasted just ok. The grilled cheese was so salty, had to throw it away. The seasoning on the fries were good. Wouldn't order from here again. read more

Office ordered lunch from here, ordered online and was able to put everyone's name on their order. They got everything right! 20 orders and no complaints. Everyone's food was warm and fresh. Food was great! I have picked up here before the parking lot is a little odd, but busy. read more

I ordered bagel sandwiches from here with cheddar cheese, jalapeños, hash browns, egg, and avocado. They really hit the spot. The bagel was fluffy and doughy. I appreciated that they were able to accommodate all of the add-ins. The jalapeños were fresh, not pickled, and had an incredible spicy kick. The hash browns were also nice and buttery and probably would've been great on their own. I also ordered buttered croissants. However, they gave me croissants filled with onions instead. That was an unpleasant surprise. This place is a bit pricey but not a bad spot to check out. read more

Stopped here on my way through Secaucus, Nice place, quick service, but 7.89 for a bagel with cream chese, not toasted and a chocolate milk, i know prices have gone up, but i thought this was a bit much. read more

Stopped any other day for lunch, food is good prices are a bit unreasonable probably 15% higher than any other bagel/ deli.

Terrible food. Not friendly. Never going back. Other places in town are much better read more

I travelled from Texas for Legion con and I saw this place pop up near me. I'm not a bagel person per say, but wanted to eat a salad. After browsing the online menu I went for it. I ordered the Greek salad, which came with 2 grape leave rolls. The salad was fresh. You can also build your own salad or bagel anyway you want to. My husband ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese, but i might go back tomorrow morning because everything I saw looked really good also. This place opens at 6am everyday and It looks like it may get really busy. read more

The service was excellent and the food was terrible. In addition, the prices were outrageous.

This place used to be run great. It's gone downhill over time. Some people swear by it, and I simply cannot understand why. Outrageously priced for what you actually get. Probably one of the thinnest breakfast sandwiches around. Minimal meat (as in only one or two slices of Taylor ham), single egg, but priced like you're getting much more. Same goes for the other sandwiches. Expensive, but small. Parking is a nightmare. Head over to Natoli's in town instead. There you'll get the biggest sandwich you've ever seen for less money. read more

Decent bagel joint but very pricey a ham egg n cheese sammie's is $6.99 yet a western omelet on a roll - which is ham peppers and onions no cheese is 9.95. They charge $3.00 for pepper and onions?! rip off. And apparently salt and pepper doesn't exist here. Great value in day old bagels though $3.00 for a bag of 5-6 and they are terrific. Really good bagels just overpriced sandwiches. read more

The place looks ok from the outside...but once stepped in side first thing I notice was how no one keeps this place clean. Presentation is key! Also I orders a Rueben sandwich and it was vary sloppy. The taste tasted like the other guys egg sandwich. No one seems to care for quality here or service. I don't recommend it. Kinda pricey read more

Don't waste Your time. Staff is rude, two thin thin pieces of Pork Roll on a sandwich really? If I could give a zero I would. read more

Although this place is convenient (1 of only a few bagel joints in the area) I'm never satisfied! Today, because of past experiences, I ordered a DOUBLE Taylor ham and cheese on a bagel with ketchup, paid $9.60 for it and a coffee. The sandwich still had hardly any Taylor ham even though I ordered DOUBLE (see pictures)!!!! The amount of meat they put on a sandwich is awful...they have nerve to charge top dollar This is all in addition to them usually messing up a simple order (always check it before you leave) read more

0 out of 10!!!! The food is less than average quality and way too expensive. Staff is rude, disrespectful and cannot get an order correct if their life depended on it. I cannot stress enough how VERY RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL the staff is, truly!!! When you bring this to their attention, they act like it is your fault, and it is their job to give you the worst experience of your life! I gave them quite a few chances. Each time i went back the only thing consistent was their ability to always get the order wrong, and when you ask them to correct it, they just ignore you and your request. Nothing special about the food at at all at this place. Don't waste your money, time and patience it is NOT worth the headache that they will give you! read more

I love this place and get my usual everything bagel with cream cheese. Its always yummy with a decent amount of cream cheese but this time I am absolutely disappointed. All i can taste is bread. There's barely any cream cheese. You would think the price we have to pay now $5.32 you think there would be a good amount of cream cheese. I called the place and got no one on the phone to address my concerns. I feel like going forward if I go each time i would need to check my bagel before i even leave the place so it doesnt happen again because you can't see them putting your sandwich/bagel together. read more

We've been eating our bagels here for sometime now. A very large variety of bagels which are made on premise. You can actually see it. Hence, always fresh. Great variety of spreads and other bagel "fillers". They'll complete your order to the T. Wide variety of cold beverages and tea/coffee. Service is great, friendly and most importantly-efficient. You can eat in or take out, clean tables are available. Parking is rarely an issue. read more

I order from bagel buffet pretty often as it's close to my office and they deliver. I've never had problems with them before, but I am confused with what they delivered me. I ordered the ham and Brie sandwich with the "deluxe" order of fries and pickle chips. I was really excited to get my food, but when I opened up my food, it was cold and pathetic. The pickle chips was literally one pickle slice (as pictured), the fries are floppy and cold, and my sandwich is also ice cold. I called to ask what happened and they said "yeah it's a pickle chip" and I was like "no your menu says pickle chips" he was like "no it's just one chip". My deluxe menu also had romaine in it which I specifically said NO ROMAINE because there's an e.coli outbreak right now. They didn't do anything to compensate me and they offered me a half-hearted apology. He said "yeah it happens, we try to get everything out hot". I would've rather saved my $3 than order this "deluxe" menu item again. Also, my coworker got the Thai Crunch salad, and she just found apples in her salad. A) she is very allergic to apples and B) the salad doesn't even COME with apples. Luckily she can pick them out, and if she eats something that touched an apple she won't die, but get your act together Bagel Buffet, the only salad you even offer with apples is the Waldorf Chicken salad. I am done coming here, they have messed up my order too many times and it is too expensive for constantly screwing up. read more

Terrible service! Stopped for a quick breakfast while running errands. After waiting for my bagel sandwiches (I get it, it was a busy Sunday morning), the cashier made me feel as I was being rude for ordering a smoothie, saying she would ring me up as it was being made to "hurry things along". Then I take the sandwiches to the car and realize that the cinnamon raisin sandwich was on an everything bagel. I take it back to the store and the woman behind the counter curtly asked me what was wrong. I explained the situation and they took it to the back without a word. I later find the bagel to not be toasted and the fillings just put on a new bagel, giving it a oniony taste. No apologies, and no offer to make a fresh bagel sandwich. Incredibly disappointed by the rudeness. read more

This was always a good place, but just got too expensive. They recently raised some items by $1.00 (egg and cheese sandwich as an example - A 25% increase is not justified). Sorry. I wish them all the best. read more

As a Secaucus resident within walking distance to this place, I find myself here often because of convenience. The breakfast sandwiches consist of the bare minimum amount of meat and the bagels are small. Prices are some of the highest I've seen for what you get. On top of all this, the bagels are often burnt. If you ask for a bagel toasted you are really rolling the dice. I wish this place made a quality bagel but that just isn't the case.
