Be prepared for a line. You can order online if you don't want to wait in the line. The bagel I got was very good - chewy on the outside. A good selection of cream cheeses and bagels. Also, other breakfast options are available, if you don't want a bagel. The avocado toast was tasty - the avocado is blended with cream cheese - which my daughter and I love, but it's not everybody's jam. There is inside and outside seating. The outside seating has a fun theme to enjoy and take pictures. The lady behind the register had a slight attitude- maybe it's just a Jersey thing - but not enough of one to keep me away, if I'm in Wildwood again. read more

Best Nova Lox bagel sandwich on the island. Perfection. Served open faced, big enough two, fresh and delicious. Definitely a favorite. Just get there early before the sell out of the sesame bagels! read more

Bagel Time Cafe - Nova Lox bagel sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Wildwood Crest, New Jersey

I came to the BTC on a Friday in August and thought they were giving out cash. The line was about 20 people deep with patrons trickling out of the door. There is an online ordering option but they tacked on a $3 fee. About 10 mins into waiting with the line about halfway through, I bit the bullet and make an online order. I ordered the western sandwich. The bagel was what you'd expect from a town south of Central Jersey. Nothing special. The 24 oz. Iced coffee was one of the best I've had in Wildwood. I loved the side table where you can pour your own hot coffee/milk, add your own sugar, etc. Be aware the small orange juice was $4.35. I was expecting it to perform tricks for me. That didn't happen. read more

I just got a breakfast sandwich (sausage eggs and cheese on plain bagel) here and it was so delicious. This isn't your average breakfast sandwich, it was stacked with meat and eggs, the cheese was melted too. The staff greets you and are accommodating to your order. My wife loves their bagels (chocolate chip) and cream cheese. We get extra bagels to take home. This place makes surf bagels look like amateurs (which they are from previous review) the bagels are made fresh and very flavorful. read more

Bagel Time Cafe - Pork roll egg and cheese on a sesame bagel - Cafes Near Me - Wildwood Crest, New Jersey

Overpriced "bagels" and always super busy. If you want to skip the line, you can order o line but there is a convenience fee. The staff does seem nice but the bagels aren't really bagels in my opinion: the texture is more like a role with a hole in it. I went here thinking I'd get a cheap and easy breakfast but 2 coffees, 2 breakfast sandwiches and a muffin was $45 and took 15 minutes in line to order and then another 20 minutes for the food to come out. Cut tables outside but the price to me wasn't worth it: my husband did enjoy his bagel sandwich but he's from cali so he doesn't know what a real bagel should taste like. read more

Wonderful spot for bagels & breakfast sandwiches. Prices are not bad as well for a coastal cafe. Many options to choose from; from diary free to gluten free. Minus one star just because the iced latter/iced coffee here was ok but could have potential to be better. Overall, I will be returning here for the breakfast sandwiches for sure! read more

If you're looking for breakfast or brunch in Wildwood, I would definitely try this place out! PARKING There is a small free parking lot next to Bagel Time Cafe, and by small I mean TINY. People park over the lines and have nasty things to say under their breath despite the fact others need to park and eat just as much as them! My friend managed to fit despite the fact people want to be rude. MENU So much to choose from! So many options. You can either order in person to go, order in person to sit down, or order online for pick up. They also make it VERY easy to pick up your order if you ordered it online. It was its own pick up window once inside the establishment! FOOD I had bought myself a spinach feta omelet & a water. I honestly should have gone for a bagel, especially a rainbow bagel. But they brought that out after I had already ordered and the line was insane! I had no idea that was even an option! Next time I'm definitely ordering online for pick up instead so I can really see the depth of their menu selection! With that being said, their omelet was a letdown! And I didn't touch the hashbrowns because I'm not a hashbrown person. It never sits well with me, no matter who makes them, I wish they had asked me if I wanted that or not. I would have opted for a different side if they had one. I did get toast with my omelet and that was burnt, but generally it was still delicious. I honestly wish I got one of their caffeinated drinks. I'm not a coffee drinker by nature at all, but I would have loved to try out something of theirs! I had gotten some gnarly sunburn the day before, so I just wanted water to hydrate. I don't come back to Wildwood often if ever, so I don't know when the next time I stop by would be. But I really do wish I had gotten a bagel instead. The reason I didn't was because I had one the day prior, from elsewhere, and I wasn't in the mood for another bagel. It was nice having other options on the menu besides bagels, but it doesn't seem like its their specialty. ATMOSPHERE This place is so cozy and has many seats! Most people are ordering to go, and there was a line to get in so I would suggest ordering online instead. But generally the line moves quickly. OVERALL Such a lovely place within Wildwood NJ! I definitely loved trying it out, and would love to come back to try out more if I'm in the area. Everything was so cute, so I definitely would like to come back and actually have a sit down. read more

WILDWOOD: one morning we were trying to find a place to eat breakfast and had a few restaurants in mind through prior research, but even though they were supposed to be open, they ended up being closed. As we were driving down Atlantic Ave., the sign of Bagel Time-Cafe caught our eye and we hoped for the best. Let us tell you, we found a gem of a place! It was meant to be! They have an adorable space that has a lot of seating for a bagel shop. Leashed and friendly dogs are allowed inside their cozy interior with fun decor and also outside on their patio with a pretty cool old Volkswagen Beetle for a great selfie spot. Breakfast and lunch items are available including freshly baked bagels, breakfast sandwiches, eggs, spreads, sides, and even vegan options including Just Egg and vegan cheese. Paired with a hot chai latte with plant-based milk = dream come true! They also offer catering and the staff is top notch! It was so delicious and hit the spot; a perfect meal and experience to start the day. They also have locations in Wildwood Crest and Cape May! read more

this is a terrible bagel shop. it's honestly embarrassing if you've ever been to any other bagel shop in NJ. These aren't the same. you can actually tell by looking at my photo, this doesn't look like a good bagel. it's a weirdly dense roll is what it is. also, there was a foreign object in my bagel, not sure what it was and neither was the staff. I asked them what it was and he said "I don't know... its definitely not supposed to be there.... do you want another bagel?" to which I said sure. don't know why I even said yes but yeah I'll never be back here. oh and also it was like 11am and we had to wait like 10 minutes for them to make coffee. they don't stay on top of the coffee area. read more

One of the best breakfast choices in Wildwood.

Bagel Time Cafe offers a charming ambiance with plenty of photo opportunities, featuring a flowered Volkswagen buggy(in the yard) and decorative walls. While the decor and atmosphere are inviting, the bagels themselves were a bit disappointing. They tended to be on the dry side, which detracted from an otherwise promising experience. Being from Jersey, I would say these are not your typical Jersey bagel. On the bright side, this cafe boasts an impressive array of cream cheese flavors, including enticing options like blueberry, strawberry, everything and more. I opted for the everything bagel cream cheese, and it proved to be a delightful choice, bursting with flavor and making the dry bagel much more tolerable to consume. For those craving heartier fare, the breakfast sandwich special was a highlight. Piled high with bacon, pork roll, hash brown, and cheese, it delivered a satisfying blend of savory goodness that made the bagel a bit more moist and therefore more satisfying. To wash it all down, Bagel Haven serves up quality beverages. The coffee was robust and well-brewed, while the fresh orange juice provided a refreshing start to the day. Overall, Bagel Time Cafe offers a pleasant dining experience with a few standout dishes amidst some room for improvement with their bagel texture. Prices are on the higher side, this is a tourist area so not out of the ordinary. read more

Every time I visit Jersey I make it a point to get my pork roll fix in. I was sad that a salt bagel wasn't offered but had never had an egg everything and I wasn't disappointed. I loved how they made it with scrambled eggs. Very filling! We sat outside because we had our furry child with us. One of the employees brought out a bowl of water after seeing him which was adorably considerate. The coffee was fresh too! read more

These are your typical "rolls with holes" type bagels. They are soft and bread-like and lack the qualities a good bagel should have. I don't know what more to say as I only tried the bagels and it appeared most people waiting on a pretty long line for the off-season, were waiting on egg sandwiches. Overall, this is a one and done for me. read more

Three weeks in September and it's not easy finding a deli open in the middle of the week. Luckily, I found Bagel Time Café. I got an toasted everything bagel, scrambled eggs, cheese and bacon. Delicious. I hope they can stay open thru the Fall. If not, I will remember Next year so I can hit this place more often. read more

I ordered a veggie omelet, lox on a bagel and two Iced coffee's and the bill was $47.00! Sorry but this is a rip off plain and simple. This should have cost no more than $35.00 max! I understand prices are high due to inflation but this was ridiculous! and the food was OK but not $47.00 good. I feel like I was bent over and it didn't feel good. won't be back here. read more

Happy to see that Bagel Time was still in operation! The place is small and offers outdoor seating. Our server, Angela? was efficient and our meals came out quickly and piping hot! I chose to go "healthy" and ordered a Spinach and Feta Omelet while Pat went for and Egg, Meat and Cheese sandwich. Coffee was hot and plentiful and prices reasonable for Wildwood. The café is behind a hotel, on the ground floor of a hotel. It is within walking distance of Convention Hall - but we chose to drive. read more

Sigh. I had high hopes for this place. Stopped in for some bagel sandwiches, which were decent. But these are NOT bagels! The texture is not right. They are sort of flat, not chewy, and not crusty on the outside. They are just rolls with holes. Service was good and it looks like a nice place to sit. Two breakfast sandwiches were about $23 with tip. I guess that was the most NY thing about it. read more

If you are craving a breakfast sandwich this is the place to go. I got a bacon, egg and cheese w/ a hash brown on a asiago bagel and my boyfriend got a pork roll, egg and cheese on a blueberry bagel with scallion cream cheese and both of the sandwiches were huge! We got a side of home fries as well. All of our food was very good. The place is cute inside, they have indoor and outdoor seating. I have only come here during off season so I never have trouble parking and there usually isn't a line. But during prime season I can imagine parking being a little tough. The employees have always been nice and I'll be sure to stop by again. read more

Truly amazing to find such a quality bagel shop right on the beach in Wildwood crest! Amazing pancakes too by the way! Well I wasn't planning on driving anywhere on vacation in Wildwood crest. I was going to have to make do with whatever was local and deal with it. What an amazing surprise to find a spot! The bagels are damn, damn good! Probably 4.5 stars. They scramble the eggs that go on your bagel and I love that. My toasted everything bagel with butter scrambled eggs and cheese salt Pepper catch up cotton half put me right in heaven and got me ready for a very active day hiking along the boardwalk, both day and night and swimming in the ocean! They don't advertise it at all as a matter fact, not even sure if they have it on their sign in their store, but they also serve pancakes and they are top notch! If you order these one day for a change you won't be disappointed. Inside the shop is really small but it's a very local kind of shop that I'm so glad was right next to my hotel! Highly Recommended when staying in Wildwood crest! read more
