We stopped here to get a bagel sandwich and a couple bagels with cream cheese. The last time we were here we were pleased with the quality and service (We visit once per year with family in the area). Unfortunately this visit we had a couple of issues. First was in payment. They charged us $19.48 if we paid cash. I gave the cashier $20.50. This means we should have received $1.02 back. Instead they gave us only $1. I was very confused. The cashier told me they are no longer giving away pennies, yet there is no sign saying this. Coming from North Carolina.... this type of thing would have a sign at the cash register. I could have given exact change if I knew they were going to short me 2 cents. It's not the amount, it's the fact there is no notification. The cashier did eventually return the 2 cents owed. Another issue with the payment is we were charged $1 additional for a jalapeno cheddar bagel. The charge was listed as "custom" on the bill. I asked what this additional charge was for. The cashier stated it was for the jalapeno bagel. I asked her if she could show me how I would know I was going to have an an additional charge for this bagel ? She pointed to fine print on their menu board that said *prices are subject to change. So is she saying we cannot trust the prices that we see on the menu board ? What I assume to be the owner stepped in and said they have been here 25 years and "everybody knows". Well, we are from out of State and do not "know". We especially don't know why a business would not simply avoid confusion by posting a sign in front of the "custom" bagel notifying that it will be priced differently than any other bagel they sell ... which says $1.50 each on the sign directly above the bagel bins. There were several different flavors, so how are we to know there are different prices if the sign above says $1.50 each ??? Instead of simply saying "Oh yes, we should probably put a sign there to avoid confusion." when I made this suggestion to add a sign to notify of the difference in price, the owner Instead got very upset and started complaining about the prices of everything going up. I told him I understand that it is very difficult; but all he needs is a sign so there are no surprises for the customer at the cash register. The owner remained upset and offered to take the bagel back instead of simply saying "that's a good idea" to help their customers avoid surprises such as this. Perhaps upon reflection the owner will see the benefit of clearly stating prices. However, his reaction is the reason that many folks avoid bringing up issues to management. read more

I showed up 30 seconds late for pick up and the place was already closed. I understand that they are not going to wait for me, but really? 30 seconds? Went back the next chance I got and I mentioned it to them, they told me to speak with the owner. Complete douche. Not going back. He can keep my $5. read more

Needed a new bagel place. Service was quick and food was pretty good. Place looked clean and staff were friendly. Prices are comparable to other bagel places. Will probably be our new spot read more

I would give it negative but since I can't I leave one star Terrible service!!!! Waiting for over 20mins and they still don't have the order ready and lady at the register has an attitude because they are short handed and it's the customers fault who is waitings patiently Then the lady at the register shouts in a disrespectfully manner if you don't want it just cancel your order then.... After almost 30mins waiting patiently and that what you shout out in disrespectful manner to a customer.... Unbelievable, I couldn't believe it Bad bad bad service!!!!!!! I will never go back!!! read more

Great bagel spot next to the Shop Rite. Fast service. 7am on a Wednesday and the bagels are still hot and fresh. Everything bagel was well seasoned on BOTH sides (huge plus). Scallion cream cheese was fresh. Scallions still had texture. Solid coffee too which is a surprise for a bagel place. Reasonably priced. Especially considering how much cream cheese you get. Small extra charge for paying with credit card. Small seating area. read more

Bagel One - Spotswood - Bagels yum! - Bagels Near Me - Spotswood, New Jersey

Tasty and big bagels. I was impressed with these. They give you plenty and the price is fair as well. It is your stereotypical bagel shop with the old fashioned signs and the baskets of bagels among the sandwiches named after celebrities. I recommend and will come back for another breakfast. read more

Yummy, fresh bagels! The veggie cream cheese is amazing and my son said the pork roll egg and cheese sandwich he got was the best he's had in a while. The staff are also very friendly and gave my daughter a mini bagel as a treat when I went to pick up our order. This is my new go to place for bagels! read more

Thank you for a delicious bagels and pastries and perfect timing delivery for La Casa salon & Spa Bagel 1 ! You are the Best!! Highly recommend! Btw your sandwiches and 6 foot subs are out of discussions the best addition - for any event ! Grateful! read more

This used to be our go-to bagel place. Sadly, since it seems there are new people running the store, the prices have skyrocketed! I understand the price of everything has gone up, but when 4 bagel sandwiches cost $48....there is a problem. read more

Fantastic breakfast sandwich on a fresh bagel for a fair price. I make sure to come here every time I'm in the area.

The Jalapeño Cheddar bagel is slamming! You can taste the cheese melted and browned on top, YUMMMMO!! Also the lox special ($5.99) is awesome - no shortcuts on the special. The bagels are packed in a plastic container too. Everyone is also very nice & friendly. Thanks!! read more

great bagels! Possible one of the best in the area. Been pretty consistent in quality and crust.

The only thing better than the bagels are the smiles from the folks that work there. Drop in for both. You'll feel better.

Delicious food and owners are so friendly! Great service, food and value! Thanks from Colorado! read more

Bagels are fantastic and have a wonderful breakfast selection. Brooklyn style bagels in N.J.! Owners are friendly and always have a smile. Great prices. read more

Did a BEC on an everything this weekend. Wife did lox spread on an everything. Bagels were just ok, a litter dense and not particularly airy. No outer shell. The bacon was not too salty, and they asked me saltpepperketchup like they should. That and 3 drinks ran me 15$, which seems a bit steep. My search for a breakfast place continues. read more

Not a resident of NJ, but when we visit we ALWAYS stop here for coffee and a breakfast burrito. The BEST breakfast burrito I've had EVER. The crew is very kind!! See ya next time! (gals from Spokane, WA) read more

Avoid!! 25 min for 3 bagels with cream cheese. Would have been a longer wait if I did not offer to pay for my coffee just so that I could get out of there. read more

Bagel One has the best tasting bagels! They are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside! I got 14 bagels for $9.99!

Family owned and operated. Open during the blizzard and were absolutely a pleasure to deal with. Bagels, muffins, coffee boxes were all a big hit for our post wedding recovery. read more

Model of consistency. Bagels here are above average and breakfast sandwiches are superb. Love how they aren't shy with the porkroll! Never had a bad experience in five years and the new owners have provided a much-needed makeover. Service is also a big plus. Coffee urn was full but they still made a fresh one when I remarked how it tasted a bit old. Hard to beat in the EB/Spotswood area. read more

Great place. Friendly staff. Paid 7 bucks for a massive Western omelette and heaping side of breakfast potatoes. Bagels always fresh. Fair pricing. I love about 30 minutes away and A lot of other places near me charge about a dollar more for same sandwich. I always stop by here here on my commute to work. read more

I love this place I order from here all time everything I have ordered was absolutely delicious! Delivery is always quick and the staff are very nice. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Quality, fresh Variety of cream cheese. My sister loves the egg and cheese bagel sandwich. You can even get it on a croissont. There's also coffee here, but I've never tried it. The bagels are fresh and very good. Kind of a run down interior design, though. read more

I was a bit concerned when I saw "under new ownership" in the local coupon newspaper about 6 months ago. The first month was a bit unsteady, but since then, it's back to really great bagels and friendly service. They are adding to the menu - soup and falafel so far. Might improve business if they brightened the place up making it more attractive, used professionally made signs, etc. But you can still count on the bagels being super! read more

Very yummy they could have more cream cheese variety, pastrami sandwich highly recommended ! Coffee is great, the workers are friendly and sweet. read more

Did not like these bagels, they were hard and nothing like what I expect when I order a bagel. Would not recommend.

Much improved since new owner took over. Excellent bagels and great service. Opens earlier than previous owner did who was usually late especially on Sunday mornings. read more

Every time I come here I'm never disappointed. My usual orders are either the BLT or the BE&C. the owners are real nice too. I think another plus is you can see them prepare your order not hide somewhere. read more

The bagels here are always fresh, hot, and delicious. The owner, Jim is a great guy and an awesome baker. Never disappoints and always makes customer happiness number one. If you want a delicious homemade bagel I recommend this place. read more
