First time trying bagel shack and despite reviews I still stopped in to give it a try. Ordered an everything bagel with Taylor ham, egg, and cheese. The bagels are extremely fluffy and dense so not ideal for a breakfast sandwich as there is a lot of filler from the bagel and you definitely need to unhinge your jaw with each bite. The TEC on a bagel came to $7.50 which is relatively cheaper than most breakfast sandwiches in the Mahwah area by about $3-4. The bagel itself needed more everything seasoning and salt altogether. It was an okay option based on the location and not having time to go to a different bagel shop. Service was helpful and quick. read more

Dry. Bagel is more like bread. Cold, cheese not melted. Meh at best. Coffee was good. Slow to get food out but busy place. read more

We wanted bagels and just so happened to be driving by Bagel Shack. Perfect! The Bagel Shack menu is large and besides bagels, they offer omelettes, salads, sandwiches, and burgers. I ordered an everything bagel with nova lox spread ($5.49) which came out promptly. The big bagel had a befuddling airy texture. I did favor the crunchy shell though I could see how it might not be for everyone. The bagel was also way too hot when the cream cheese was applied and as a result, the spread was rather liquid-like and difficult and messy to eat. There were tons of friendly employees eager to take your order, the bathrooms were freshly painted, and parking was not an issue. The location is convenient to the highway and has seating if you'd like to eat there. read more

New to this place and customer service was not great. We got eyes rolled at us. We asked for lightly toasted and bagels were extremely toasted. Unfortunately the food and service fell short. Definitely not coming back. read more

When I go for bagel and cream cheese everything is great. When I get egg sandwiches it's always done how they want. I asked them 3 different times to beat/whisk my eggs well before cooking it so it's mixed evenly. I hate eating white/yellow eggs so I end up throwing it away. This is my last time sadly I give up. Others get the memo idk why they can't read more

Bagel Shack - Hate eggs that's not mixed well. It's a me thing tho - Bagels Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

My son and I were cruising down NJ 17 on a father-son road trip when we stumbled upon this absolute gem. Easy off, easy on, and a parking lot big enough to land a small plane (which is good, because I don't parallel park before coffee). Inside? Spotless. Minimalistic in that "we care about cleanliness but still have soul" kind of way. The bagels were on point -- perfectly chewy, trendy toppings, and served like someone actually went to Bagel School. The sodas and chips? Weirdly awesome combo selection -- I felt like a kid again, except with better taste. Service was friendly, quick, and knew their stuff. No fake smiles, no chaos, just good people doing good bagel work. Would I stop again? 100%. Might even plan my next road trip around it. read more

Large bagels, fast and friendly service. Bagels were warm and delicious, flavored cream cheeses, coffee was good. Definitely the stop on NJ 17. High-top counter and seats to sit and eat or take your stuff to go read more

Bagel Shack - French Toast Bagel w/ cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Mahwah, New Jersey

Unlike a few other reviews here, I had a great experience on my first visit. Granted I was there at 7:30 am so service was fast and friendly. The bagels are very good and mine had plenty of cream cheese on it. Plenty of parking in on site lot. Can't speak to the cooked sandwiches but will try in future. A bagel with cc is $4 read more

The bagels are large and have great flavor! The bake is inconsistent. French Toast Bagel is what we often order and it's either very close to being burnt or underbaked. I still recommend trying them since there are so many other flavors on the menu. It's always clean and the staff is friendly. read more

Not a bad bagel. Came to Jersey to attend and celebrate my mom's 90th birthday! I saw Bagel Shack had opened up and had to try it out. Know what I mean? The place is big. Lots of bar type of seating. High seats and counters to eat on. No lower tables and chairs, and they have room for them. Large assortment of bagels and a nice varied menu, where you can order burgers, chicken sandwiches, cheesesteaks and salads. But the key items are the bagels. I always have a Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on a sesame bagel when I visit a new restaurant. First off, the bagels are huge! Second, they are cooked well to a deep brown. Third, I can smell the bagels! This is important because you can get a sense of what a good bagel should be like vs. what you are used to. Bagel Shack has the looks, smell and texture that you want in a bagel. The outside crust is baked to a golden brown but not burned. The inside of the bagel is dense yet chewy. The aroma is bready and malty, if you understand that. My wife had a burger which is large and tasty. My mom had a plain bagel with cream cheese. Loved it! The prices are inexpensive for a bagel shop. The location is clean and the staff are helpful. I hope they continue to develop a loyal clientele and try on new recipes. Go ahead and visit Bagel Shack in Mahwah, NJ. I believe that you will enjoy it. read more

The variety of bagels, cream cheeses, and sandwiches is outstanding--fresh, creative, and unlike anything else you'll find in New Jersey. They even offer excellent croissants that you don't typically see at a bagel shop, which really sets them apart. The service is fast and efficient, and the staff--especially the ladies behind the counter--are exceptionally friendly, professional, and welcoming. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. Highly recommended! Will go back again and again. The place I'd really clean. read more

The Bagel Shack is a relatively new and welcome addition to the Ramsey/Mahwah area, boasting easy and convenient access right off Route 17. Service was as expected; adequate and standard for a new bagel shop. The shop itself has a lot of space and potential. However, the bagels didn't seem spectacularly good yet. I feel like the team is still figuring things out as they are new, and there is definitely room for improvement in the product. Given the convenient location and the ample space, I see a lot of opportunity for them to grow and get better. I look forward to trying them again in the near future! read more

Pretty decent omelette not going to lie. The bagel was good too. Really modern and clean shop, plenty of room and parking. For a grab and go breakfast very good. My coworker brought a sandwich in one day from here and it was thick and looked good, will have to try! read more

After what felt like 100 years waiting for this bagel store open I had a chance to try it twice. That said I will not be returning for quite a while. Maybe they're suffering from opening growing pains, but the staff seemed all over the place and the bagels were really lacking. A bec was mostly bread and no bacon, egg or cheese. I wish I had taken a picture. Same with a bagel and cream cheese- barely any cream cheese. Also, the prices were higher than neighboring bagel stores. Definitely not a good way to start off and attract new customers. I checked in with others in the area and they had similar experiences. I'll give them a little time to hopefully work through these kinks and then check back in in some months. read more

Had an incredible experience here today with my family. Excellent bagels. huge variety - the bacon cream cheese is a must try!

When they first opened they had Awesome large bagels that kept me coming back. Now they serve small, basic, bagels that are no longer special. I would have given 5 stars if the bagel size had not drastically changed. Very disappointed! read more

I called in an order for pickup they said 10 minutes, my drive alone was 17 minutes I get there go to the cash register and 3 women looked at me didn't ask me my name nothing so I stood to the side knowing they are busy 5 mins pass I go to the side where it says pick up orders still multiple people looked at me didn't ask my name didn't even greet me, extremely rude I will not be going there again read more

I stopped at Bagel Shack on two separate occasions specifically because they have a drive-thru, but it was closed both times, which was disappointing. Inside, the place is very clean and the service is fast, which I appreciated. The bagels themselves are huge with a very hard, crunchy exterior- more like biting into a loaf of crusty Italian bread than a traditional bagel. The inside wasn't dense and chewy the way a bagel should be, so the texture just missed the mark for me. Overall, an okay experience, but not quite what I was hoping for. read more

Recurrent customer Bought bagels again and complained to manager that the bagels were hard. Was told no one else complained. Poor customer service with that reply. Refund on two bagels declined. read more

Zero stars. Dried out brownie that tasted like paper, I don't know how they are cooking the rest of their food today because it seems ALL OF THE OIL in the state of New Jersey is somehow in the two hash browns I ordered. Straight trash. The sandwich, dried up powdered looking eggs, trash bacon with trash bagel. Watered down coffee, get out of here what are you even doing. This might actually be the worst breakfast I have ever had in my 37 years on earth. read more

I always take yelp ratings into strong consideration. Only 2.2 stars and 13 reviews in I was going to stay away but figured I'd give them a chance being new and I'm glad I did. The bagels are great. Big but not too big and very fluffy with a decent crust. My sausage egg and cheese was $6.50 which is a good deal these days and after eating half I was already full but kept going it was so good. Ignore the reviews. read more

Service was awful ...hopefully they just need to work out the kinks It took 15 minutes to make 4 bagels with cream cheese or butter and there were 5 employees making the sandwiches ! They are very disorganized ! Too many people working and not getting anything done On the plus side the bagels were good Won't be back though ! The owners sat there not greeting anyone or apologizing for the poor service l. read more

Maybe I'm spoiled when it comes to bagels because I'm from NY but these bagels were NOT good. They were tough in texture, not pillowy like many of my favorite places in the city and lacking in cream cheese. Not to mention, when I visited, the place was nearly empty and they still got my order wrong. I wanted a jalapeño egg bagel with vegetable cream cheese but they gave me strawberry cream cheese. First of all, who orders a jalapeño bagel with strawberry cream cheese?! Secondly, if I was working there, I would've asked to make sure that was correct because it wouldn't sound right to me. Coffee was okay- it was actually better than the bagel which is sad for a bagel store. Finally, these bagels are overpriced for its quality. They need to lower every down by at least a dollar to make it somewhat worthwhile. Don't think I'll be back. read more

Bagel Shack on Route 17 in Mahwah is a real gem! The store sparkles with cleanliness and features a simple, functional design, filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows that create a bright, welcoming atmosphere. There's ample space for customers to relax and for staff to work efficiently, with an open baking and prep area where you can watch the bagel-making process. It's easily accessible from Route 17 north or south at MacArthur Boulevard, and parking is plentiful--even large enough for an 18-wheeler. My bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich was a masterpiece: served on a generous, perfectly seasoned everything bagel with thick, crispy bacon, two eggs, and a slice of American cheese, and of course, salt, pepper, and ketchup. An attentive staff member took my order on a mobile iPad, and I was able to pay easily with Apple Pay. Despite the busy crowd, the whole process took less than 10 minutes! Bagel Shack delivers: great food, efficient service, and a space that feels just right. I can't wait to visit again! read more

I stopped at Bagel Shack on my way to upstate NY. I am soooo glad I did. The biggest most delicious bagels I've had in a long time. The vegetable cream cheese is delicious too! I am a fan! Big time!!!! read more

The best bagel in the area. They will win awards going forward. If you are local and like bagels then this is your place. Repeat customers are already commonplace. The store is perfectly clean, staff is very friendly and helpful. Stop there and try it. You will not be disappointed! read more

Phenomenal. And I say this as a Bagel Train (Suffern) customer for over 30 years. I grew up in Bagel train with my mom and grandmother. Over the years it has faded. Yesterday I even called and spoke to the owner. They had excuses. Not bagel Shack. LOOK at this Lox bagel. The one on the Right (fat) is from Bagel Shack. The one on the Left (pathetic) is Bagel Train. Literally back to back days. My day is complete today. I found my new breakfast home and I am so excited to bring my daughter here as she loves bagels. Welcome Bagel Shack! Looking forward to eating all your food! :D read more

I live in Monticello, NY, the self proclaimed bagel capital of the world. The problem is, the gagel bakery there steams their bagels.Bagel Shack still kettle boils their bagels and it is a huge difference. The bagels at the Shack are perfect, the way bagels should be, big and tasty. And the service is awesome. read more

Want to love this place - clean, well-staffed, organized and staff is very friendly. But twice in a row the Taylor ham was cool / lukewarm. The cheese wasn't even soft. read more

$45 for 4 bagel sandwiches and 2 coffee- little pricey- probably will not go back - local spots are much better

Delicious and great service. We tried a bagel and sandwich, both were really good. We live in the area and haven't had the chance to stop in until recently. Will be visiting again in the future. read more

Great large bagels! I had an onion bagel with butter, it was just the way I like it!!

I had such high hopes for this place, but it turned out to be one of the most disappointing dining experiences I've had in a long time. The bagels had a strange aftertaste, almost identical to Lender's frozen bagels -- not what you'd expect from a "fresh" bagel shop. Service was even worse. We placed our order and sat down, only to realize 15 minutes later that our food had been sitting on the counter the whole time. When we asked, the girl behind the counter flatly said, "I called your name and you didn't come," with no apology whatsoever. By then, the food was lukewarm, tossed onto a flimsy tin plate with plastic utensils. The atmosphere inside was just as cold and uninviting as the service. What makes this all sting even more is the buildup. After Boston Market closed, we watched the new bagel shop sign go up and waited months for the grand opening. We were excited for a new go-to spot for a weekend breakfast. Holy smoke, was I wrong! If you're expecting fresh bagels, warm service, or a welcoming environment, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere. read more

This sucks. Took 30 mins and some of the workers were laughing and moving slow as hell.

Slow service with not friendly employees. Quality of food is sub par and over priced. Saw tuna and chicken salad is premade from a bucket not made in house. read more

Expensive! Quality mediocre! They charge a lot of money just because of the location and the neighborhood.. if you want really good bagels and a fair price go to "train station bagels" in Suffern, NY. Probably not as attractive as this store; but believe me! Quality, service and prices are way better!! Do not waste your money in this "chic NJ expensive" bagel shop read more

Staff and owner are kid friendly, service is fast, parking is convenient and location is right off 17 going north. Will be returning.

Went because it said they had gluten free bagels and they do but refused to put anything on them! Ridiculous why but would not recommend other bagels are not as good. read more
