I've been to most of the bagel shops in this area but for whatever reason, I've never stopped in at Bagelicious. This is a small place in a strip mall on Rt 46 in Rockaway. I just got a bagel to go, but they do have a couple of tables for dining in. I ordered an everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese. I would say that it was fine. The cream cheese was a little light, but not too major. Is this the best bagel place around? No, but it was fine if you're in the area and just need that quick bagel. Service was very friendly. Parking easy. read more

They were loading bagels in a car when a bagel fell out onto the floor. The worker put it back in the bag and took it to the car.

Best bagels in NJ! Always fresh and crispy on the outside and soft in the middle! Highly recommended! read more

Bagelicious - Poppy, plain and everything! Yum! - Delis Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

Where do I start?? So fresh! So good! So clean! So fast service! Get there quick always selling out! read more

My everything bagel w locks was excellent - loved the freshly boiled New York style bagel. Reasonably priced & friendly service.

Haven't been there in years. They don't know how to treat customers. Everyone I talk to says the same.

The best thing about this place is the name "Bagelicious" it gives one the impression that you're gonna find Delicious Bagels here. Instead, what you will find is a pretty good selection of decent roll-style bagels, unimpressive looking danish, and below average cream cheese options. Hey so I finally found a place that sells Bialys but these don't look anything like the Brooklyn ones that I remember, sorry Pamela but the quest continues ;) One more thing, it's 2019 can places like this stop using Styrofoam cups already? I know you're cheap and they cost pennys but c'mon these cups are like your cold cuts they're gonna be here forever!! Peace!! read more

Food: Great bagel- soft but still chewy. Nicely stacked with generous egg, meat & deli cheese. Service: Obviously I don't have high expectations of "customer service" at a bagel shop, but man was the one guy so unnecessarily rude. Turn off. It was my first time here, I called to pick up an order so I simply said "Hi" and he said "GO", so I said "I'm calling to place an order for pick up" and he responds aggressively "I SAID GO".. I wanted to hang up and order elsewhere. Then I go to pick up the order and a woman helped me but the same guy was being very rude to other customers. It takes less effort to just not be vulgar. Ambiance: Basic good old bagel shop. read more

Bagelicious - Taylor Ham, Egg & Cheese on a Pumpernickel Bagel. - Delis Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

its a roll (a bad one at that) with the tiniest bit of cream cheese. How is this place still in business?

We've been going here for years but as of two weeks ago--never again. Popped in to order dozen bagels and a few bagel sandwiches. The young kid who took our order proceeded to make the bagel sandwiches without gloves, was literally coughing onto the food and to make matters worse, was cleaning the knife with what looked like a filthy cleaning rag. Very unappetizing and we just walked out without the food. read more

Fresh bagels and hard working folks here. Always very busy. Best thing is to call the order in and pick up. Only one thing I'd like better is if they had a sign for a separate line for pick up. Would help as the place is very small. read more

Amazing cream cheese Options and the bagel flavors are out of this world! Try the French toast bagel!!! read more

The BEST bagels outside of Manhattan. Fluffy, flavorful bagels, nice owner, fast service. Get there early though if you like cinnamon raisin, they sell out pretty quickly. This place is a gem! read more

As I said with another review, when I have a weekday off I find myself looking for new places to try even if it means cheating on my old standby favorites. Today I decided I would try TWO bagel places in Rockaway as I had to pass them both on the way to Home Depot. Bagelicious is a pretty small shop, but offers big happy bagels. I ordered a Taylor Ham, egg, and cheese on an everything and turned to grab a cup of coffee, but there is no coffee station-they pour your java here. Not my favorite thing in the world so I skipped the coffee. They have nice sized bagels here, similar in size and texture to my favorite bagel place. Service here was fast and friendly. Sandwich was good, but the meet was a little underdone-not a game ended, but I couldn't tell if it was real Taylor Ham or a cheaper substitute. My taste buds failed me. Prices are also a bit higher than I usually pay by about $.50 a sandwich, but the individual bagels are cheaper by $.05. The place also looked like it could use a bit of cleaning...not dirty like I won't eat there again, but just a little messy in the customer area. They didn't replace my favorite bagel place, but they offer a pretty solid effort. I'll be back. read more

Hands down one of the best places to get bagels, especially in Rockaway. I've come here for almost a decade and their food never fails to impress - freshly baked, huge bagels that are delicious in every way. Although I usually stick to a taylor ham, egg, & cheese, they will happily make anything custom to your liking. The owners are so kind and caring, and are masters of their craft. Such delicious food and it's reasonably priced as well. read more

I get these bagels almost every weekend. Everything bagels, plain bagels, whole wheat bagels, they are the best bagels I've ever had. Also cream cheese is so good too, def recommend. read more

The owner with the mustache has no clue what's going on. Had to tell him 3 times how I wanted my coffee and bagel. His heads in the clouds. He doesn't wear gloves or masks when preparing sandwiches. He spit talks on top of that. Department of Health should be called in to survey their workflow. read more

This was my go-to bagel shop for over 10 years. I stopped in once a week to treat my team to breakfast. When I switched jobs, I had to go 5 miles out of my way to buy and bring bagels to my new crew. These guys sell bagels in a white bag and when I walked in with the door carrying one, there was a buzz in the room... Pretty cool. Taste, size and variety matches Mountain Lakes Bagels - a shop I also like. They are a few cents cheaper here too but that's not what still brings me here. The owner - almost always behind the counter - delivers a smile with the bagels. He makes me feel welcome and truly seems to like serving his customers. That deserves my loyalty. They have parking and decent service (meaning fast) so I have never waited very long for my order. Definitely one of the better bagel places in the area. And, yes, their style of bagel is more bread-like than the purist "concrete donut" bagel... Recommended if you like bagels. read more

Good bagels, but today I was charged $10 for a bagel w lox. That seems a bit expensive for a breakfast sandwich, will have to take my business across the street. read more

Do not go here! Very rude, terrible service, watch out for the credit card scam, they run your card, pretend it doesn't work, then ask for cash, then you find out the card did work and you were doubled charged. Called 3 seperate times, said it would be taken care of. SURPRISE SURPRISE, 10 days later STILL NO REFUND!!! read more

Everytime I order, some part of the order is wrong. Today I ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with butter. They toasted it. Butter melted everywhere. I hate toasted bagels with butter so I didn't eat it. Had to throw it away. Also, it wasn't ready when I went to pick it up 25 mins after calling it in. Always slow. It is ashame because their bagels are actually pretty good but the experience kills it for me every single time. Also, I work for a local business and we order breakfast about 3x a week. We used to order from them but they messed those orders up as well, and it was never ready when we went to pick up. So we moved onto another bagel place in rockaway for our business breakfast orders. read more

I love these bagels! Fresh, soft, delicious! The eveyrthing bagels are not overpowering at all.. coconut bagels are to die for. i only get my bagels from here! read more

Can't ever get a simple order correct!! Ordered a chocolate chip bagel, got a chocolate chip muffin. Ordered a sandwich on a toasted bagel, sandwich came on toast. Ordered olive cream cheese, got plain (and gross plain at that). Even when they read the order back, they STILL get it wrong! Not sure if its just apathy, or a staggering stupidity but these people couldn't give a fuck if your food is right. read more

For a number of years, this as well as Denville bagels, were my to go bagel shop for a number of years. I stopped in each weekend. If I went to Denville, it was apparently Egyptian run and you got the full NYC hustle bagel experience. You also got excellent bagels which were worth the wait and the lines out the door. When I would go to Bagelicious in Rockaway, I got very good bagels yet, Denville held the edge in quality and service. Fast forward to many years being out of the area and Denville Bagels suck ( seems the WTC bomber owners skipped town... we used to joke with them in 93 about the first WTC bombing so...cool your PC jets, it was a mutual ribbing) Taste, size, shape, crust and interior chewiness and pull was good years ago at Bagelicious. On a recent visit, I hate to say that the bagels suck and service by employees and even the owner is crap. I went to Bagelicious after not visiting there for a number of years. The place looked the same, except everything looked old. Obviously, profits are not returned to the business for improvements. This is not very important as, I take my bagels to go and can appreciate dives. I observed upon entering that their small refrigerated display case was largely empty and held some forlorned cold cuts and a small container of whitefish salad that looked past its prime (you can go to Shop Rite down the road and get whitefish salad for less than 5 bucks a pound versus almost 10 bucks here). I saw that their bagels looked odd in their display baskets. All were round, large, bloated and had no hole in the center. Despite the warning signs, I proceeded to buy just a few bagels with cream cheese. Here is where it gets stupid. I go to pay and present my credit card for a $6.00 purchase. So, the girl walks to the far side of the counter almost behind their refrigerator case and runs my card. The amount I was charged was incorrect. Oh, it was explained to me that if I charged less than ten dollars that a $.50 fee applied. Well, screw you ! There was no sign on the register, the menu or anywhere apparent. To add insult to injury, I had cash. I politely resisted and said I would be happy to pay this charge if I were informed, however, there is no clear information on this topic. The worker brought out the owner who belittlingly said what is the problem, it is only a fifty cent charge. He even claimed it was his money and went on to whine that he has to pay so much in credit card processing fees. He claimed he paid up to $3.89 per transaction. That is BS and if it were true, you need to do your homework and get a better deal. I responded: it´s my money, not yours. You have a big menu and plenty of space to warn people of your policy yet, you failed to do so. The owner proceeded to object because I wanted money that he claimed belonged to him. F** him. He posts prices for products and then does not advice about possible surcharges - which are often illegal or against the credit card processor policies. His argument was that all of his regulars knew... well how the f**K do you expect to make me a regular..... I did not relent and he gave me my $.50 back. I despise sleazy business practices and will hunt people down like him until he sees the truth. Bottom line: sleazy business practices with a whiney incompetent, dishonest business owner and shitty bagels. I`ll never go there again. In fact, while I argued my point, my brother left the business to avoid this a**hole and my litigious pursuit of this contemptible whiner. Definitely one of the worst bagel places in the area. ( Brooklyn Bagel in Randolph is very much in the running) And, yes, their style of bagel is more bread-like than a real NY, Brooklyn bagel. Avoid at all costs. Go to Mickey Ds about 200 yards west. read more

Bagelicious - This is not a bagel. This is the Blob. - Delis Near Me - Rockaway, New Jersey

The owner wasn't there last week on the day I went and the worker took money from a customer then made my egg and cheese wearing the same glove. Came back , took my money and handed me my food. Disgusting read more

I'm new to the area and wanted to give Bagelicious a try this morning since i had visited the competition across Route 46 and was not impressed with their offerings. As some posters have written, Bagelicious is small and could use a renovation, but their menu and breakfast offerings are top notch. I thought their coffee was good too. Prices are quite reasonable. Joe the owner came out of the kitchen to welcome me to Morris County and spent close to 10 minutes speaking to me about the area which i thought was an extremely classy and gracious gesture. Bagelicious isn't open when i leave for work in the morning, but they've made a new customer who will definitely be there on my off days. read more

BEST BAGEL PLACE IN NJ! Home made cream cheeses of EVERY flavor - caramel, strawberry, Oreo, and all of them better than the next. I used to live in NJ and moved out west and every time I come home to visit I come here first. Bagels are untouchable. I'm actually going to have the owner start shipping me his bagels out west! :) read more

Went here today to satisfy my craving for a bagel with egg whites and cheese. They had a whole wheat everything bagel, which I love. My sandwich was $3.25 (pretty reasonable I thought) with a good amount of cheese- and the bagel itself! Fluffy and chewy with the right amount of crispness to the crust, which is not easy to achieve with the denseness of whole wheat flour. A perfect Jersey bagel! I ding them a star since the place is a little dingy inside. read more

I placed a large order for bagels for Christmas Day. As with other reviewers I have noticed that the lines have been getting longer and the time to get to the register longer. I think a lot of the delay is that people are ordering sandwiches that are being made to order and this is something that adds time to the others in line. I do not mind waiting a couple extra minutes for the high-quality bagels that I am accustomed to. It would be nice if they found a way to organize the ordering process to take care of customers faster. My personal favorite is the cranberry orange bagel. read more

I have loved bagels my whole life, and Bagelicious has the best bagels I have ever had. Don't be fooled by it's size and modest decor, instead of focusing on all the fluff, this bagel shop focuses on making the perfect bagel, and boy, do they succeed. But the best part about this little bagel shop are the owners. The owners get to know their customers, are warm and are always happy to see you. read more

I'm so excited I found this l place. The bagels are delicious. They are super soft, and they have a good variety of cream cheese. The prices are really affordable. Just be aware that usually a line in this place. I would definitely recommend this place. :) read more

Value: 5/5. Prices for bagels are typical, but it's when you go off menu that you see the great value the owners offer. For just a few dollars, you can get a bagel, cheese omelette, and hash brown. That's a fantastic deal. Lunch sandwiches are similarly priced. Taste: 4/5. The bagels themselves are awesome. Coffee is fantastic. No milk sugar or cream needed, their coffee just black is outstanding. Customer Service: 5/5. The owners, a husband and wife, take pride in everything they do and are friendly and enjoyable to talk to. It's great feeling so welcomed to get breakfast. read more

i've been there a few times. each time, same exact breakfast sandwich - always the same ingredients. each time, a different price. one time $4.00, another time $7.50. other times between $4.50 and $6. when I explained how odd that was to the owner, he argued and stuck to his price. haven't been back! read more

Have picked up bagels from this shop a number of times. Never disappointed. Nice selection of very tasty bagels.

Huge thunder bagels is an understatement at Bagelicious! The best bagels in the area with friendly help that gives quick service is all you can ask for. The full selection of different flavors which are always available, and a must have for a lazy brunch with the family or friends. read more

Just popped in to get a bagel from here for the first time. The absolute best service . SO KIND, asked me if I wanted coffee - were so welcoming. I will definitely be coming again. I wish I could give more than 5 stars ! read more

The quality is very good. But the price apparently took off. Please say that $3.05 for a bagel w cream cheese is the mistake of a new employee! read more

Bagels suck for their price! Place is not very clean. Needs renovations. Wouldn't recommend it.

Reliable consistently good food. Great bagels. Great cream cheese varieties. Good coffee. Friendly and fast.
