    This is a nice vibe for a strip mall bagel shop! They have plenty of dine in seating and will bring your order to you at the table which is nice. Service was speedy and friendly too. Iced coffee was a highlight! Perfectly light and sweet like requested and very strong which is always a plus. For food I went with a wrap with egg, cheese, turkey bacon and tomato. The wrap was hearty and filling. My only complaint is that I wish the cheese was melted. Still delish though! I was in the area for an appointment and was glad to find a nice spot for a quick breakfast. They also had a solid selection of bagels and they looked super doughy and delicious.

    Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese

    This bagel shop is such a nice stop for a quick bite to eat. Their bagel selection has a large variety of different flavors and they even have lunch specials! You can order to eat-in, as they have a small seating area, or takeout with ease since the location is within a strip parking lot. The service here is super friendly and definitely fits with the cozy vibe you get from being inside the shop. It feels like you're inside a warm living room (lol) I typically order the NJ staple -- bacon, egg & cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup on a warm bagel. I also like to get an everything bagel with cream cheese on the side to either snack on or save for later. Overall, this place is definitely worth checking out.

    I have been going to this place since it opened, and consistently it's great! But I keep running into an issue with my order and it irks me. They keep adding Ketchup to my sandwich when I'm not asking for it, AND when I say No Ketchup...they still do it! I don't know why, I even did a hand gesture today to indicate no ketchup, it still happened. Their French Toast bagel is delicious btw 100% recommend. I just wish they'd get my order right, I hate ketchup on my Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese :(

    Was craving a bagel and found this place close by on Yelp! I walked in to a friendly homey vibe, seemed to be filled with regulars . I asked for a menu to see their selections which they didn't have- which threw me off a little. But I was able to look at their glass case of bagels and make a selection for a blueberry bagel with cream cheese. I do wish I had some sort of basic menu because I didn't realize they had lox and a variety of cream cheeses until I had already ordered. I also wish they'd asked if I wanted it toasted (it wasn't) but the bagel itself was delicious, slight crisp on the outside as you bite in and soft and chewy on the inside. Also had a generous amount of fluffy cream cheese. The blueberry bagel also didn't have real blueberry bits in but it was purple which was interesting! It was amazingly cheap! I got 3 bagels (one with cream cheese) and a coffee for just 5.50!

    this was my first time trying this sandwich and it's soooooo good. OMG I'm from NYC and whenever I'm in Jersey at my cousins house I will be coming here. They didn't have capers but I added my own. The staff was so FRIENDLY they answered all my questions seeing as to how this was my first time trying Lox. Everything about the sandwich was delightful and delicious.

    Excellent bagel shop. Great service. Fresh bagels. Boars head cold cuts for delicious sandwiches.

    Bagels and Beans is pretty much a neighborhood staple for breakfast- you can see that when you line up on a Saturday morning, and the line wraps almost out the door. They have a pretty standard variety of bagels (everything bagels, egg bagels, sesame, and even some more creative ones such as a French toast bagel) They also have a pretty standard variety of sandwiches. I've had many, many, MANY bacon egg and cheese sandwiches from this place. Their iced coffee is pretty good as well. They have a small seating area inside the restaurant, as well as having two tables outside. Some of the staff is friendly, while some of them are a little bit cold, however that is probably attributed to the fact that they are such a busy establishment. All in all, the food is solid. It can definitely get a little bit pricy at almost $5 a sandwich, but you'll be pretty happy afterwards.

    Walking into this place feels like home! Always a warm welcome and customer care is a top priority here! Even at its busiest of times I never feel like I'm forgotten or treated with any less respect! Bagels are absolutely delicious and their specialties are always a surprise!

    Bagels are the best in Union. Stop playing with these other bagel shops, it's only this one that's worth going to

I've been here a time or two over the Years, & had pick up orders from here many many times. It's just good & that's all that matters. We had the Bacon Egg & Cheese and Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese on Croissant. They have truly mastered the blend of all of the ingredients. The egg is soft and subtle, the meat is not overstocked/too much, the Croissant is soft and buttery, the cheese is the right amount of melted goodness, & the salt, pepper, & ketchup are the perfect amounts for the cause. A very standard Jersey set of sandwiches, yet not everywhere actually gets them right. They definitely do here. Grades: Bacon Egg & Cheese: A+ Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese: A+

Usually I ask for provolone cheese, but I overlooked it on the menu that day and didn't speak up to ask. Nonetheless, the sandwich was still great! My second visit, I did have provolone cheese on my sandwich, and I went for a raspberry bagel. When eating the first half, I actually couldn't taste that much flavor from the raspberry, but when I went back to my bagel later for the other half, I could taste it lol I was so full each time, and I look forward to trying other bagel flavors!

That was good as well. Service: ordering my sandwich - Lightning fast. Wait wasn't more than 10 minutes and it wasn't busy that day. Today, it was busy with lots of food orders coming in and out. So my cappuccino was overlooked mistakenly and just when I was about to inquire about my order, a female staff member beat me to the punch. My cappuccino was out within two minutes and the male staff member was all "wait wait wait wait wait...a free cookie for you for waiting so long...happy thanksgiving." I was not expecting the cookie and wasn't looking for any kind of comped item. I'm used to breakfast spots being busy and so I figured I'd give them time to make my order. So, just because of the way they handled what for me was a nonissue, they have a loyal customer. Ambiance: clean, bright, airy on the floor ordering side. It looks darker on the dine-in side BUT I can't say for sure because i haven't gone to that side...yet. I'm going to be in the area quite a bit, so now I know this is is a good spot to patronize.

It wasn't til we were almost there that I checked the Yelp reviews. It's a small venue for take out orders, part of a short strip complex on a main road. It has parking lots on both sides of the short strip, so parking is easy. Typical to-go style interior, I didn't even bother taking pictures. They have a 3-Star standing here on Yelp, a lot of the complaints I saw were staff related, & we had the same experience. The person at the counter just seemed annoyed by the customers. As if he didn't wanna be bothered taking orders. He sighed and rolled his eyes A LOT. One customer came in, he recognized him and said "Your usual?" The customer said "Yes," & then the guy just turned around, rolled his eyes & mumbled "Jesus Christ." Now for the food. We all have to admit, our food was good, so I'm torn! One the one hand the customer service was crappy, on the other hand, the food was actually good. I only took a pic of my food, but we all did enjoy it. If you don't mind having staff that seems to prefer you'd go away, by all means stop on by, lol. Grades: Taylor Ham, Egg & Cheese: A
