Got the Thoho and a bagel with cream cheese with lox. For the thoho egg sandwich pretty good, melty cheese, grilled ham, fried egg and okay home fries, since crispy home fries would be better. For bagel with cream cheese and lox, the bagel was toasted just right, not burnt but not under. Plenty of cheese and the lox was plentiful. Great place for a quick breakfast.

I pass through Monticello a few times a year and Monticello Bagel has turned into my little road…read moretrip ritual. I pull off, stretch my legs, and you can smell the toasters working the second you open the door. Last time it was a rainy morning and the whole place had that warm bakery air. I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and a coffee. The bagel came out still warm in a brown paper bag. Good crust, proper chew, not bready. Seeds actually stick instead of shedding all over the car. Small thing, but it matters. The line can look long from the door, but it moves. I was back in my car in maybe ten minutes. Parking is straightforward. If I am trying to make time, the drive through is there and does what it should. The staff is focused and quick. Not chatty in a forced way. Just normal, which I appreciate before caffeine. This is not a fancy place and it does not try to be. No rainbow bagels, no dessert disguised as breakfast. It is a simple bagel shop that knows its lane. Price felt fair. Coffee was hot and not burnt. Cream cheese ratio was right. I am picky about that. Do I wish the menu had a little more going on. Yeah. A couple extra spreads, maybe a rotating special. If you want wild flavors, this is not that stop. But the classics are done properly, and that is why I keep coming back. If you are passing through town and need a quick breakfast that will not let you down, this is an easy yes. Park, grab a bag, get back on the road. Simple, reliable, and it hits the spot..

The selection of bagels is limited and when asked what cheese they had, they only had American despite the sign listing several types of cheese. We ordered an everything bagel and a salt bagel, both with butter and tomato and a small coffee. There is an up charge for the everything bagel due to it being an "egg everything bagel". The everything bagel was hard. (And anyone who knows bagels knows egg bagels are the softest bagels). It didn't taste fresh even though it was 830 am. The salt bagel was softer, better and decent. The coffee was hot but taken from a carafe- not freshly brewed, so it also tasted old and flat. The servers were friendly enough and the prices were decent (despite the up charge) , $9.25 dollars for the 2 bagels and coffee. Probably not coming here again, going to look further around for a better bagel shop, I know they're hard to find in this area.

The bagels themselves are good ; fresh, chewy, and what you'd expect from a neighborhood bagel shop. That said, the prices feel noticeably high for what you're getting. Simple orders add up quickly, which makes it harder to justify as a regular go-to spot. When you're paying premium prices, you expect something a bit more standout. Overall, it's a decent option if you're nearby and craving a bagel, but the high price tags keep it from being a consistent favorite.
