Thanks to Yelp, I found this place and popped in for a bagel. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Love how large spacious and clean it was, and everybody working was super friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Typical breakfast menu items but they also had some yummy looking grill and lunch options. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The scene seemed quite a few locals sitting around at the tables eating, which is always a good sign.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I got a toasted poppyseed bagel with lox spread, and the bagel was the perfect amount of chewy to soft ratio. read more

I've been here a few times and it usually is very good but today, I ordered a bagel with scallion cream cheese. I bought it home and my wife took a bite and spit it out because the cream cheese was spoiled. I tried calling them several times to let them know but no one answered and their mailbox was either full or not set up. read more

Obsessed with this place. Have been coming here for years and they truly have THEE BEST bagels. So soft and chewy!! So many flavors to choose from etc and the staff are so nice! Their omelette are big in size and flavorful too. Haven't tried any breakfast sandwiches yet, but that's next on my list. Most importantly, I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for my order either. read more

Freshly baked bagels and a busy hub for weekends and early mornings, Bagel Pantry is a staple in central jersey for breakfast and coffee. Bagels are always fresh- nice crisp outer layer and chewy inside. They offer a variety of cream cheese ranging from plain, veggie, salmon, strawberry, blueberry, etc. breakfast sandwiches and lunch sandwiches are also offered. Their coffee is rich and bold, and would def not have second thoughts of getting a cup. I've yet to order an espresso drink. Lines move fast and service is fast. There are refrigerated drinks like juice, Gatorade, water, and cream/milk. Seating is limited -about 5 tables- but it is more of a grab-and-go place. We sat down today to eat our breakfast and were comfortable. I wish they would fix the seating area a bit more to be more inviting but it does the job. read more

I came by to pick-up and ordered a dozen and half of different varieties of bagels. For every six bagels, you get one free. Counter Serving Staff are respectful, friendly and helpful. This place opens at 7 am. When I got in around 8 am, this place was busy. Clean and well lighted dining area and so as their kitchen very visible from their dining area. I will return to try other varieties of their bagels. read more

Not sure if I wanted to give a 3 or 4 , but regardless. The big thing that bothered me was their pork roll. If you specifically want that, maybe try bacon or another meat. Their pork roll / Taylor ham is weird! It's not your normal pork roll. It's disgusting, I don't even know what it's called. It's a weird color, weird taste. Never have I've seen this at other places. Also, asking for no cheese and still get cheese. Ugh. Lastly, their bagels sometimes have a funny taste to them. Idk if it's because they make them there fresh? It's an okay bagel spot. read more

Bagel Pantry - Taylor Ham on an everything bagel scrambled egg bagel n cheese - Bagels Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

This is my hometown go-to breakfast/brunch spot. I even appreciate their iced-coffee's in the summer. Their staff is friendly, especially those that take your order, and as far as I can tell, everyone busy working and not wasting any time. I've seen this place busy, I've seen it empty and the line moves quick either way. A few of my kids classmates would occasionally work here and I believe that while away for college, they still welcome their help on their breaks from school. I always get the Sliced Lox on Lox Spread. I used to get it on Sesame, then went to Everything...but the best...for me...is Rye or Black Russian. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is seating both inside and outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also a set of guys I see almost consistently enjoying time together and their breakfast, coffee or reading the press.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a French Toast bagel which always goes really fast and my kids LOVE their mini bagels. read more

Best bagel in the area. This is usually our go to place on Christmas Day. Bagels are plump, with good crispy chew. My favorites are the French toast, egg, and of course the Black Russian. They have many varieties of house blended cream cheese, many types of sandwiches. They also bake muffins there, which are average in my opinion. Also have a dairy case with milk, juice, butter, etc to go. read more

So much to choose from. The bagel shop is in a shopping strip, it's hard to notice the bagel shop. It's a little dark inside, but it has plenty of seating for dine in, they have all assortments of bagels to choose from. It's soft, super soft, yet still chewy. It's the perfect bagel, give them a try. read more

Bagel pantry gets 5 stars for consistent and timely service, fresh food and reasonable prices. I'm a "stick to the same thing" kind of customer so I buy coffee, or a bagel with cream cheese or jelly and occasionally an omelet. No complaints on my end. To their credit, they've also maintained consistent hours during COVID-19 and they abide by social distancing rules, so no dine-in options. I do see people eating at the two tables they have right outside the shop sometimes. Lines are longest on Saturday mornings! read more

Glad to be back in Jersey on the regular, with a family in dire need of breakfast on Easter Sunday. Thanks to the trusty Yelp app, we found Bagel Pantry a stone's throw away from our church. This may be fighting words, but Jersey makes way better bagels than New York City. And Bagel Pantry gets it right. Not sure if I should disclose this, but my boy behind the counter hooked us up with a few extra bagels to add to our dozen. Touche good sir! read more

Bagel Pantry South Plainfield always courteous and expeditious and excellent service no matter how long the line is. Drive out of our way to have their delicious bagels. Just came from Metuchen Bagel Pantry. Was near this location and reluctantly went in as they in all the years of stopping in at this location occasionally have never shown their gratitude for my business with a simple thank you. And I notice this with customers in front of me and behind me. So, I am there already so I request a Pumpernickel bagel with Tuna for first time at that location figuring South Plainfield does this well why shouldn't Metuchen. I was triggered by the ridiculous price of the bagel w/ tuna and small coffee. Almost $13. The other location is much less. I asked how much for tuna and bagel, he stated $9.61. I did express my unhappiness and believe he made that price up right then. And to boot, when I got to my destination, the bagel was that of a day old bagel. I made bagels in my youth for a local bagel shop and at my age have eaten many a bagel. Not an expert but anyone with tase buds and a mind knows a stale bagel and what I had for $9.61 was stale. I believe a shop has an obligation to toss out the stale bagels or at least let you know not made the same day. I always take time for good reviews for any type of service, but I had to take 10 minutes out of my day to get this off my chest. read more

Easily the best bagel shop in NJ. A couple of things worth mentioning if you've never been... CREAM CHEESE -- BP is known to go heavy on cream cheese. (it's great cream cheese though) PORK ROLL -- the pork roll is a bit different than traditional pork roll ...... (you've been warned) BUSY -- it's a bit overwhelming if you head here at a popular breakfast hour or on a weekend. If you're looking for something besides a bagel with spread or a breakfast sandwich, I'd check out the menu ahead of time. Besides that, even on a busy morning, the food is worth the chaos!! read more

Bagel Pantry - Egg white and cheese on an everything bagel with salt, pepper, ketchup - Bagels Near Me - South Plainfield, New Jersey

This order/ meal was a complete fail. This place doesn't seem to care about cleanliness, presentation or even quality of their food- complete abortion. We've been trying new spots for breakfast and this place is hands down the worst. The turkey bacon was sent raw in our meals, the food wasn't wrapped properly (couldn't spare enough foil to wrap the sandwiches)- causing the sandwiches to falling apart, the eggs were cold, hair in the cream cheese and the bread extremely soggy. These are a lot of issues for one order- I wouldn't recommend this place at all. The food was terrible. I wish Jersey would start rating their businesses because this place shouldn't even be able to serve the public. read more

Whatever "pork roll" they are serving is not good. The sandwich was soggy with grease ... awful. Breakfast potatoes also very disappointing . read more

Great bagels lots of different creams cheese to look and taste very friendly workers prices are great

It's very crazy when we arrived and since it was our first time we didn't know which counter to order at.They have a fairly decent menu selection to choose from. I went with a egg omelette which was ok nothing that great . My husband ordered some Italian chicken sandwich which he said was ok . My older one ordered one that had a lot of avocados on it which became a bit messy. My younger one order sausage, egg and cheese which she really enjoyed. All in all we enjoyed our breakfast read more

Millburn looks like it's their 3rd location ( I think). Great bagels made in the old traditional way of "boiling" first as opposed to the sticky "steam" process. Bagels have a nice crispy exterior with just the essence of seeds; if you want a poppy, sesame, or everything. They're not loaded with seeds if you looking for that. Though the bagel may not be overly flavorful like Super Duper, the lightness of the inside of the bagel allows for great sandwiches and spreads; and they have a good variety of that. This looks like a winner for the Millburn/Short Hills area. read more

I honestly will never come back here. I'm surprised it's as busy as it is with so many other, better, bagel options around. I walk in and there's a line, I think, "Oh, that's a good sign!" WRONG. I approach the counter and the lady ask what can I get you? Without even looking at me. I started off with a small iced mocha. She sighed. Blankly stared at the counter, turned to another worker and said can you do this mocha? Walked away and started the espresso. Was reading off a sheet of paper taped to the wall! Let me just tell you in that moment I wanted to walk out. She didn't pack the coffee. Just scooped it and put it up to the machine. I get mocha coffee every single day. I watch how it's made. IF YOU CAN NOT OR DO NOT WANT TO MAKE SPECIALTY COFFEE THAN DO NOT ADVERTISE IT! The young man finished making it. And it would be good if that rude lady packed the coffee like you're supposed to. But she didn't so it tasted like milk. Next I order my bagel sandwich. Service is pretty quick so I was in and out in less than 10 mins. I drive home to eat my bagel and it's disgusting. The bagel is dry. There's barely any egg or cheese on it. I mean I was biting into just to slices of old, dry bagel before I could get to the egg and cheese. The best part about this place is it's timeliness and it's a lot cheaper than other places. But I didn't even eat my sandwich or drink my coffee so really it was a waste! At least at the other places I frequent I eat the food. read more

We ran here Saturday morning around 10am- line moved quickly and they had a great system. We tried a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese (amazing cream cheese) and a raisin bagel with plain cream cheese. We didn't get our bagels toasted but we should have just lightly. They were a little hard and I think the heat would have made them softer. Overall it was good and I would go back to try them toasted! They had a variety of drinks as well as meats, cold salads (macaroni, tuna etc.) and selection of fun cream cheeses. read more

We come here around once a week and the bagels are good, but they consistently get my order wrong. I don't order anything complicated; typically just egg and cheese on a bagel. Some days it's something simple like they forget the salt and pepper. Some days it's the wrong bagel (i.e. plain instead of everything). Today, they added ketchup (I didn't ask for ketchup) so the whole sandwich went in the garbage. Another day, they forgot one of my sandwiches altogether. I don't have time to return to the store so I just take it as a loss. read more

Their bagels are out of this world, but they do t come without a downside. Service is very unfriendly and stoic; barely engaged and no tone of warm welcome. This was not my first trip to Bagel Pantry,, when I come home to visit, I buy bagels for my family's Sunday morning. Cold reception at the register, no conveyance of appreciation, no 'thank you' after paying for my order, And no 'have a good day' when leaving. Service is everything to me. read more

This place is chaos. No organization whatsoever. Every employee is taking orders, touching money then food. When you place an order the worker leaves to start the item before letting me finish the order. The pork roll and sausage is overcooked and dry. read more
