Went here with some friends on a Sunday morning and I was very satisfied with my breakfast bagel! I chose to get a toasted whole wheat everything bagel with lox cream cheese, cucumbers, and onions. The bagel wasn't anything different from ones I've had before and neither was the cream cheese, but there was one thing that stood out to me - the bagel was toasted to PERFECTION. I like my bagels crisp and I often feel like they are never fully toasted, but this bagel was just perfect. I really appreciated the doughy interior with the crisp exterior! Staff was nice and accommodating. It took my boyfriend and I a couple minutes to finalize our order and they were patient with us. I am only knocking one star because service was rather slow. We went at about 11 am on a gorgeous Sunday morning so I understand that it may have been the restaurants prime time. I would definitely like to return again when I'm in the area and hopefully I can update my review with a better experience! read more

Best bagels in the area. I usually get the whole wheat with egg and cheese or by themselves, and they never disappoint.

Was in a rush this morning and came in for a bagel. I always order a plain with walnut raisin cream cheese when trying out a bagel joint. The bagel was not bad! It would have been better if it was a little softer on the outside. Once you get through the outer layer it's softer. Despite it being a thicker bagel it wasn't too hard to eat. The bagel flavor was good and the walnut raisin cream cheese was pretty good. Nice shop to get your bagel, coffee, breakfast or sandwiches. Plenty of tables and a couple of tv's for the diners. The counter person was friendly and order comes out fast! It's a little pricey for my bagel and cream cheese through, as it was over $3. I'm definitely coming back next time to try a breakfast sandwich, which is level 2 of my evaluation of a breakfast spot. read more

Always tasty, quick service. I am a fan of their fluffy bagels.

This place is close and has good bagels and makes a good breakfast sandwich. After reading other reviews, I believe it was the owner that was being very rude at the register. If not for that, I'd go back. read more

Great place, good food & friendly people. Crunchy outside, not too doughy on the inside bagels with breakfast & lunch items on the menu.

Was hoping for a delicious lox bagel comparable to NYC but alas, it was not meant to be. I shouldn't really have that kind of expectation. Nowhere close. Service was not great either-I beat the crowd but then watched every person who came after me get served. My husband had an onion bialy bacon egg cheese bagel. The bagel was fresh and tasty but the sandwich itself was ok. Nothing special. read more

I have been coming here for a while now - two things are consistent about this place: 1. The bagels are fresh and tasty; and 2. the owner has some serious attitude problem. Thank you for being consistently special, I won't be returning. I always debate with my wife, because bagels ARE NOT healthy for you, but I eat it anyway. So, this is the perfect reason to stop eating it. One again, Thanks. read more

I love this place! They are hands down my favorite bagel. The bagels are soft, chewy and GIANT. Prices are on the high side for a bagel shop but 10000% worth it as both the breakfast sandwiches and deli sandwiches are stuffed to the brim--one sandwich can last me two meals! The workers are really friendly and if you place an order ahead of time you can get in and out really quickly. read more

Bagel Hut - My gargantuan turkey and provolone on whole wheat everything bagel - Delis Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Good bagels, especially love the egg everything's. It can get packed but the line moves pretty fast.

Ordered two BLT's with avocado and they used rotten avocados on both. They even included the pit of the avocado on one of the sandwiches. Disgusting read more

So the bagels here are good... but the HEALTH issues and staff are VERY problematic. I went in early this morn - 8:10 am. Place is empty- 4 staff members in a very animated conversation just standing and talking. Finally (after an uncomfortable period of standing there) one comes over to counter and I order breakfast. They continue their conversation (about 1 minute) and finally the one who took the order starts cooking. He is scrambling eggs but he keeps stopping and starting while continuing their animated conversation. Finally he puts eggs on grill. Then he does something, right in front of me, that I couldn't believe. He gets a rag (I couldn't tell if it was clean or dirty) and starts cleaning the grill shield and the metal ledge - the grill shield that's right ABOVE the eggs and bacon. I can see dust and other particles falling onto the grill! I call him over and tell him very clearly that he shouldn't be cleaning above the grill while cooking. That dust is flying. He nods, says "ok" and goes back to the grill, flips the eggs... and starts cleaning the grill shield right above the food- AGAIN!!!. Right after he agreed to stop- he resumed. This time I definitely see dust flying and particles dripping onto the grill and possibly the food. I tell him to keep the eggs, and start to walk out. He says "wait, wait... I will make you new ones". Yeah right. So I ask for the owner. The owner comes out and I tell him the issue. He says- "so what?- it was only water- no big deal". No big deal? The owner says no big deal??? and by the way- "ONLY" water? He was wiping SOMETHING off the shield and ledge, wasn't he? So was it DUST mixed with water dripping on my food? Or worse yet - Grease mixed with water dripping on my food? and what was on the rag to begin with? and was it a clean rag to start with? I don't know. Lets say it was the best possible alternative and it was only water. Who wants water dripping on their food??? There was no- "Thank you for pointing it out- I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. " Nothing. No remorse. Just "no big deal- it was only water" from the owner. Personally, even if it was 100% clean water.. I don't want it dripping on my eggs and bacon. so yes... its a BIG deal. Owner if you read this: while I applaud your attempts to keep your establishment clean- a little common sense goes a long way. They should have cleaned that shield when they were all just standing around talking and no one was in the store. If you do that in front of customers I can only wonder what you do around the bagels at 5 AM when no one is watching. And you personally know me. We have chatted many times.. I have been a regular customer ... Well NO MORE! read more

I agree with the other high ratings because these are definitely top notch NYC style bagels made the way they should be with a slightly crunchy exterior and a soft interior. Ordered a well toasted Black Russian with cream cheese, nova scotia & tomato and it was perfect so this is now my bagel place of choice. read more

I had the pleasure of stumbling into this very packed establishment visiting my family in NJ. The breakfast was hot and fresh, as were the bagels. Being a Brooklyn native, I am not easily impressed with bagels or pizza, out of New York City. This place surpassed my expectations. The place was clean and the staff was very friendly. Now of course with a packed house there was some waiting involved, which is to be expected during a busy time. I was also impressed with Bagel Hut's selection of coffees. They went from regular to various flavors. I decided to try the chocolate raspberry coffee. It was excellent. They obviously know what they're doing buy getting coffee this good! Now that I have been here, I will most definitely go back in the future. I highly recommend this place to you. You will not be disappointed. read more

Food is tremendous. Really good bagels, I was mixed about the ordering system and the owner. Ordering system is why I am not giving it 5 stars, could be better. The owner at first rubbed me the wrong way but now that I've been going in there weekly he's not a bad guy. read more

Really good bagels. Crunch on the outside, soft on the inside. Qick, friendly service. My go to bagel shop when waiting on my son who attends SJV High. read more

Really good bagels! Service was fast, price was fair. Open early which helps when you're hungry in the morning. Nice outside seating to enjoy your meal. What more can you ask for in a bagel shop! Will be back again when I'm in the area and craving a bagel ! read more

The OG bagel spot that I can always come home to with the guarantee that I'll have some fresh bagels. Over the years, my dad has become good friends with the owner and he knows he really puts some hard work into making them. They start the process around 4 AM almost every morning. Expect some delays during breakfast time on the weekends! The bagels are huge and come in many varieties, including whole wheat options. Always ask for a fresh one, they will gladly give it to you! My personal faves: - Spinach Bagel with vegetable cream cheese - Jalepeño Cheddar Bagel - French Toast Bagel (make it a deluxe with pork roll. egg, & cheese) - Any muffin, (toasted with butter) I have also had their lunch subs, which are made with Boar's Head meats. You can never go wrong here. read more

The bagels are pretty good. The place gets crowded. The chair cushions are ripped and it looks unprofessional fix the chairs make the place look presentable Also now all of the workers have no personality borderline rude read more

Great place to stop by, even if it's just for the coffee. their bagels are so fresh when I buy them Monday they are still soft by Friday, which is never the case when I buy any bread from the grocers in the area. Their sandwiches are also amazing, highly recommend the lox in the toasted sesame with cream cheese, red onion, and capers. Always fresh! read more

What happened to the original Bagel hut. Do they have a new owner. Definitely doesn't take the same and the people are different. Sucks. They had the best bagels ever. Does anyone know what happened? read more

Owner was very rude to me and did not accept the free breakfast sandwich they implemented into the store. For that you lost an entire family patronage and we will look elsewhere for our breakfast sandwiches and bagels. Thank you for treating your once loyal customer so poorly. read more

The best damn bagels in the world!!! Tasty, chewy, and in the morning...fresh and still warm. They also make egg sandwiches on a hard roll that are also very good. Although we just run in for take out, there is a seating area as well. read more

Bagel Hut - Delis Near Me - Matawan, New Jersey

Best bagels in town! I love this little bagel place they also make great sandwiches! The bagels are the best all options available the coffee is great too. It is always packed because it is great. The owner is warm and friendly it's the kind of place they know your name and that's a good thing. Bagel Hut keep up the great work! read more

Excellent bagels! I needed a ton of mini bagels for a church event I was hosting and they were able to have them for me with only 24 hrs notice! read more

Bagel is fluffy and so yummy!! So happy to have come across this place. The workers are nice and fast. Worth trying.

I could only get great bagels in north jersey until this place opened up. The bagels can't be better. I could live off the breakfast sandwiches. They are always busy which means hot fresh bagels for everyone! I turned a few Bagel Boy lovers onto Bagel Hut and they won't go back. Once you go here it will be your breakfast spot! read more

The bagels *are* phenomenal..however ordering something simple like a half dozen bagels is a miserable experience. There is one line that is typically overflowing out the door on the weekends. You're also sharing the line with people ordering a myriad of breakfast sandwiches and other breakfast items who can't make up their mind what they want when their favorite, bacon, egg and (insert flavor bagel) in not available. It shouldn't take 20 minutes to get 6 bagels, but it will because the people who are behind the counter are slow and don't seem to have any motivation to move the line in a fast an orderly way. Don't get me started on the guy who runs the cash register. He plays favorites to a select few, and if you are not a regular you're relegated even further back of the pick up line. read more

Super good beacon egg and cheeses. The only thing I hate about this place is the line everytime I go there, but you can't give a bad review because the place is successful. This is my fav BEC spot in matawan. The Russian or Ukrainian or polish guy (can't figure out his accent) is hilarious. read more

Just paid $6.05 for a bacon, egg and cheese. Way too expensive. Prices have gotten silly.

Easter, 12:30pm- sent my husband out for bagels for a late Sunday breakfast. Now I understand it's a national holiday: so my expectation was for him to return with frozen Lenders Bagels and some I Can't Believe It's Not Butter. To my surprise, he was back- fast- after visiting Bagel Hut he had a paper bag of a half dozen steaming hot bagels. They were fantastic; fresh, chewy but soft dough, just enough 'everything' on my bagel. I would have been satisfied with a bagel from the bottom of the basket - thrown in a bag from a rushed attempt to close a sale before closing the store. Never did I expect such a fantastic experience at this hour. Definitely planning a return trip sometime soon. read more

This is one place that I miss when I leave NJ. Super soft, fluffy, doughy, fresh NY style bagels in every possible variety and great coffee to boot. Skip the commercial chains and do your one stop fueling here. They open super early and close late. Prices and quality make sense. Homemade cream cheese spreads are ALL great and the multitude of pastry options look very appealing. You can order sandwiches on a variety of breads also but bagels are the real star. I recommend the egg everything, spinach, and blueberry bagels. Definitely try with egg and cheese and ketchup. The coffee bar is self serve as it should be. French Vanilla coffee is excellent and they have a fridge full of creamers, dairy milk, almond milk, etc. Something for everyone. It is often busy but that's a good sign. Some employees are nicer than others. They are always speeding through orders and handle the turnaround pretty fast. If you want to customize your order, be very specific and check your order before leaving because mistakes can happen. This is easily one of the best bagel shops in NJ. read more

The best bagel ever! Always fresh. Baked throughout the day. Fantastic staff and owner. Worth the trip from Morganville!

This place has great bagels and I decided to try it again. It seems it's hit it miss at this place. They messed up on my order again. How hard is it to get 3 bagels with butter? They gave me two. And as I watched them making it, I said you go the third bagel, right? And they said yes. So I pay, everything comes in a bag and as I'm leaving I said to myself: let me just check. Aha! The third bagel WAS missing. The next time I went I watched them make everything like a hawk because I feel I may not get what I asked for. The staff is getting friendlier but geez they look like they don't care how they look. They literally look like they just rolled out of bed! I would say you are safe getting bagels to go if you are just getting bagels with nothing in them. If you want to order bagel sandwiches you better check your order before you leave. read more

Great bagels! I love the egg pumpernickel. Coffee is the absolute best! I found my new morning spot!

Great bagels - totally crappy service!! Called this morning for a pick up of 1-bacon & egg NOT 10 and they quoted 20 minutes! Went to diner instead read more

Our favorite and go-to bagel place! We order from them almost every weekend and it is consistently good. Bagels are always fresh and the owner is always very nice! read more

This place has the best bagels in the area hands down. The bagels warrant a 5 star review, but their inability to get orders correct leads me to give them 3 stars. Probably about half of the time they get my order incorrect (generally just a simple bagel count). At this point it is my fault for not checking every time before I leave, but it's hard to fathom them putting only 6 bagels in the bag instead of 7. Still not to the point where I will go elsewhere though. Update....Upgraded to 4 stars since they haven't screwed up my bagel count in a few trips now read more

These ARE the best bagels in the Matawan/Aberdeen area. I have done 2 bagel offs. First time, about 3 years ago with every bagel shop in the area, and Bagel Hut came in second. However, Bagel Time (which was #1) was sold about 1 year ago and it appears something changed there. Time for another Bagel off. I purchased bagels from 6 different area bagel shops and I had all 4 friends all taste the various bagels. No one but myself knew which was which. All of us decided Bagel Hut was the best. I have been going there regularly every since. I mostly get just bagels, a couple of times I have gotten a sandwich and have never been disappointed. Sunday mornings are super busy!!! You can't go wrong going to Bagel Hut!!! read more

The slowest and most unorganized bagel place I've ever been to. This is the 3rd time we've gone here because the usual bagel store we go to was closed. We will never go back. If you want your order all screwed up then go visit bagel hut. The food wasn't even good. read more
