There are so many good bagels places in NJ, so it makes it rough for me to give out a perfect…read morescore. I'm a tough critique for bagels because I love them very much and the texture and consistency of the dough can make or break for me. Rutherford Bagels & Deli is absolutely one of the best bagel shops in the area. If you're around here, the service and vibes are very homey and comfortable. You get consistent and reliable quality here and the owners treat you as regulars, even if it's your first time there. Cool spot

I was genuinely excited when this bagel shop opened and it quickly became my go-to spot. The food…read moreand service were great at first. Unfortunately, I've stopped going because the store now allows non-service dogs inside -- and this is a very small space. I've personally seen large pet dogs rubbing against shelves and rugs and barking while customers are ordering food. In such close quarters, that's especially uncomfortable and unhygienic. I completely understand and respect legitimate service animals -- that's not the issue. The concern is allowing pets in a place where food is prepared and served. Because of that change, I can't continue to support the business. I hope management reconsiders this policy.

Ordered via TooGood2Go on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. For $5.99, they gave us a baker's…read moredozen, and there were not two bagels that were the same! I'm wondering if it was because it was a holiday week, and people were out of town, so maybe they had more bagels left over? But typically when I've ordered TooGood2Go from other bagel spots, they give me multiples of the ones people no one wants, like blueberry or egg. But at Knead A Bagel, there were so many different varieties - a bialy, everything, strawberry, rainbow, sesame, cinnamon raisin, pumpernickel, just to name a few. The bagels still tasted fresh too. Would visit again, even if it's not through TooGood2Go. I think they also have breakfast sammies, so I wouldn't mind getting one of those next time. Tip - there's a small lot in front, or street parking. It's far enough away from the main area of Rutherford that you should be able to find street parking if the lot is full.

My entire New Jersey existence revolves around Erie Bakery. When I have a bad day, I go to Erie…read more When I have a good day, I go to Erie. Birthday cakes, Erie. Baby shower cake, Erie. I love their coffee. I love their breakfast pastry (LOVE), their blueberry cinnamon rolls, the chocolate puffs-- everything. Anytime I'm like, am I going to spend $40 again, I hesitate, and then I eat everything and it was worth every single cent. Thank you for existing! Stuffing my face with Erie goods as I type.

Still thinking about that cinnamon roll... I loved the tangy, tart cream cheese icing as opposed to…read moresugary icing. But all the sweet treats sounded so delightful it's hard to just pick one! There's some indoor seating at the bar but most people take out or eat on the outdoor tables. It can get busy but the line moves fast, as there are locals who know exactly what they want. The menu only shows drinks so definitely ask what desserts and pastries they have available.

The croissant was fresh and flaky and the smoothie was good, but a little bland (I am very critical of smoothies). The chocolate croissant was tasty and had Nutella. Yum! Music is playing but it was not distracting. There was ample seating and the decor is very cute. Big windows allowed for a lot of natural light to fill the space which I love. They have a wide variety of items on their menu which is great. I have found a new cafe to spend time in when I need to get things done and want to get out of the house.

I want to add that the vegan waffles and pancakes were the best I have had in the United States.

When we walked inside, we were seated immediately. I ordered the Garden Gathering omelette which normally comes with a side of homefries and toast. I substituted the homefries for a cup of fresh fruit. I also tried a small pancake from my mom which was very fluffy and light. The portions were pretty good and the food was fresh. The prices are reasonable. Service was prompt and the food came out fast once we ordered. When we were leaving there was a pretty large crowd waiting to be seated. Overall, it's a solid, classic breakfast spot right in the heart of downtown Rutherford.
