Ambiance - no frills, straight out of the 80s decor. Service was A plus, he was such a nice man, talking to the guests and asking us how our bagel was afterwards. Bagels were fresh out of the oven - still warm on the baking sheet. I had the everything egg bagel with scallion cream cheese, and my mom had v plain bagel with vegetable cream cheese and tomato and cucumber. The bagels were so nice because they were light and fluffy as opposed to super dense. read more

Was one of those days I was craving a good bagel. While the bagel wasn't awful, it certainly wasn't good for a place that primarily sells just bagels. I ended up not finishing the plain bagel with cream cheese that I ordered. Just didn't taste fresh. Probably would've been fine if I got it toasted but I would not be surprised if it was from the day before. Overall, just disappointing. You're in NJ, do better. read more

Bagels are good, portions adequate. Staff a little stand-offish. Could be more friendly and less "put upon"..... read more

The bagels were just ok. Nothing special, compared to all the bagels we've tried traveling across the USA in the last two years. The prices seem high. $1.70 for a bagel but add smear or butter, and it comes out to almost $5.00 per bagel. I know prices on the East Coast are high but this seems a little much. Just my $.02 read more

It's not what was expected: Bagel fresh but steak was burnt no favored, uncooked fried onions and damn expensive. Two sandwiches $22 read more

The service was fine but the bagels were more like rolls with holes in the center. They didn't have the consistency of real boiled bagels. I was disappointed since I was told their bagels were good read more

Great cream cheese and bacon egg and cheese bagels. And great service and low prices.

Stopped by this morning after visit AC looking for a good bagel and coffee. Both coffee pots were nearly empty, barely enough to pour 2 cups. One decaf, the other breakfast blend but one of the two was actually hazelnut. Bagels are just bread with a hole. No wonder there were no other customers there. (Over priced too) read more

not a good jersey bagel - didn't even finish it. Way too much butter for a buttered bagel and the bagel itself tasted like one you buy from a bag at ShopRite /: read more

Service was beyond terrible. Food was good service was terrible. They really need to pick up there slack.. expensive !!!!! 30$ for two BEC sandwiches read more

Over priced for lack of food and bad service. Also the quality of food was not great and took forever to get my food

The bagels are great, but it's $1.70 for just the bagel and $3.25 to toast it and put butter on it. Apparently the butter costs as much as the bagel. And if it's busy, just walk out they can't handle it. read more

The people here work so hard & are always so polite. I recommend ordering the BEC on a cinnamon sugar bagel - it's different but so good! Perfect sweet & savory. I love that you can call in your order & it'll be ready to pick up when you get there. They also have a really good assortment of muffins & donuts - the chocolate chip muffin is my favorite. read more

I got breakfast at Bagel Gourmet this morning. It was a very simple breakfast, just a toasted cinnamon raisin bagel with butter. It was exactly what I hoped it would be. The service was relatively fast. I would definitely be up for trying some of the other bagel flavors in the future at Bagel Gourmet. read more

So I guess I'm just a bagel snob and used to getting breakfast bagel sandwiches from the amazing **HOT BAGELS & MORE** but this morning I got an everything bagel (it was barely toasted) with bacon, egg & cheese and it was very light on the bacon, egg & cheese. They barely put anything on it. For $5, I would have been better off going to Wawa and getting their breakfast sizzli's, could have gotten 2 for that price and the egg would have actually covered the whole sandwich. Not to mention, the older lady working by herself 6:30 Tues. morning that was miserable and gave me the hardest time for being .11 cents short. I even offered to go back home (literally 2 minutes away) but she said no n just sa to be the biggest bitch. She definitely needs to learn a little bit better customer service. But I definitely won't be back!!! read more

You walk in and everyone is friendly and approachable. Their bagels are fresh and don't look stingy at all. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a sesame bagel. Maybe more cheese next time since the bagel was so HUGE! I cannot wait to come back and try something else. read more

Hosting a Cousin's Party on a Friday night in mid-January, so I decided to let someone else "do the cooking". Using a coupon I took from Clipper magazine, I called the Bagel Gourmet on the White Horse Pike in Absecon (gave two days' notice), and ordered a Bagel and Lox Platter, as well as a Sandwich Platter with a few pounds of side salads. I've eaten at the shop and have carried bagels and bakery good out, but have never tried the catering, so I didn't know what to expect... A+++ !!! My order was ready on time, beautifully displayed, and my coupon defrayed costs just enough to feed eight of us for well under $100. Everything was fresh and delicious, and my guests all asked about the caterer... well-deserved business for this shop. Thanks to the ladies who did all the work... you made this busy Mom's life a whole lot easier! read more

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. It might as well be closed. Normally I have patience, but we ordered 2 sandwiches and waited about half an hour. Mind you, we paid ahead of time and there was no one else in there when we ordered. Someone came in after us and their order was being made before ours because they knew him. There was a second employee working, but she was just walking around wiping everything down. The final straw was when the girl behind the counter stuck her hands in the cucumbers with no gloves on after working the resister right before that. We will never come to Bagel Gourmet again. read more

Absolute angel at the counter on 8/9 at 11:46. Very pleasant and kind. Food came out fast and was great. Bagels nice and fresh and the coffee was good. Great breakfast stop after leaving Atlantic City. read more

Two words: California bagels. As soon as I walked through the door and looked at the bagel case, I knew. California bagels have a certain look. They appear larger than your standard bagel shop bagel and the taste and consistency do not come close. Was told a long time ago that the secret to a good bagel is boiling them. California bagels are never boiled. Unfortunately, if you are in the Absecon/Galloway area, there are no authentic bagel shops nearby. However, when I can't make it out to Northfield or Manhattan Bagel in Mays Landing, there is one option. Believe it or not, the bagels at Shop Rite aren't bad. They told me that they come in fresh from New York every morning. Better off than settling for the doughy mess that is Bagel Gore-may read more

Placed an order and was told I couldn't wait for it had to wait outside. (I Was wearing a mask) No one was inside with me two patrons just left from eating their inside Very rude read more

Great tasting bagels, not friendly service. Have been to this spot several times, bagels never disappoint. However, the staff is not friendly. read more

Poor quality! ZERO STARS. NOT CLEAN. Our food was full of hairs! It was absolutely disgusting, we all got sick. Do not come here!

Absolutely terrible. Paid for two healthy egg sandwiches with two extra egg whites each , Turkey bacon and spinach. I received a single egg white along with greasy regular sausage instead of Turkey sausage. Paid 17$ for two egg sandwiches , got ripped off and was completely wrong. The females in there aren't very friendly neither. Stay far away read more

I just went to bagel gourmet in Absecon Boulevard was the only one in there took me 10 minutes to get service and the lady cooking in the back came out and was ignorant as hell if you're going to buy any bagels you might as well go to the one in Galloway because it's much better,this was the worst service and attitude I've ever Seen anywhere . , s Crawford read more

Bagels are very good. On the other hand, the staff is not friendly. Today, I walked in and was immediately yelled at to wait outside in a very rude manner. Then while waiting, I sat down in a chair. They then yelled at me that it was for dine in only. I have no problem getting up and following their COVID protocol, but they did not have to address me and my friend in such a hostile manner. Have been here several times and haven't had a good experience. Will not be supporting them again. read more

I had sausage, egg, and cheese and I will tell you it was one of the best ones I had. Bagel was so soft! People are nice too! We are so happy we stopped by! Definitely will eat here again when we are back in AC! read more

Depressing atmosphere. Tables/chairs leaning to the side, dirt/garbage in full view of customers in the dining area. DO NOT GO HERE. Cashiers and store owner have major attitudes, and food undercooked. read more
