Great little bagel shop. Not fancy and not particularly pretty which means it's reeeeally good…read more They now have whole wheat everything bagels. (I am a visitor and the last time I was here they weren't offering.. Not sure when they started selling these.) The bagels are delicious and have tons of flavor on both sides. I definitely used the last of my ketchupy bagel to pick up the flavor that fell off onto the plate! They also sell chicken cutlets, heroes, chips, drinks, macaroni salad, potato salad, etc. There are 4-5 tables inside and people rotate pretty quickly so if its packed when you walk in, you'll likely get a seat by the time you pay and get your food. They look a little scattered behind the counter with 4-5 people doing everything per order (rather than one person doing all meat, another person staying at the register, etc) but they definitely get it done and satisfy. My friend got a BLT on a croissant.. But I recommend you order a Taylor ham, egg and cheese on whole wheat everything bagel with salt, pepper and ketchup... and enjoy!

I used to stop by here on my way to work and always loved their bagels and sandwiches…read more I'm not always in this area but stop in when I can. The owners are so nice and bake amazing pastries as well. They have many beverage options and plenty of room to sit down or grab and run. Hubby got a Taylor ham, egg and cheese wrap on a wheat wrap. They asked if he wanted one or 2 eggs which is nice to have the option.

Sadly, I'm just passing through, so I won't be able to return soon…read more The sausage, egg and cheese everything bagel that I ordered was delicious. The bagel was fluffier than I expected, and I liked that. Sometimes bagels can get too chewy and tough. It was toasted to perfection. I didn't ask, but I think it might have been chicken sausage, not pork. There was a spice to the sausage that I couldn't identify, but really enjoyed. I usually don't rave about percolated coffee, but the coffee was darn good, too.

Today, I made it a point to pick up a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwich for lunch. I thought the sandwich was very good. Lots of Taylor ham, melted cheese, and a well cooked egg. The bagel was kind of a cross between a bagel and roll, but on this sandwich, it was just right! Very friendly people (I assume the owners) behind the counter. A tip from a friend to park at QC across the street paid off. Nice lunch!

It's definitely not your typical Bagel place and their diverse innovative menu makes it easy to see why locals flock to this place on a regular basis. You'll find Service here to be welcoming and efficient at this smaller than- most sized shop and just a friendly heads up the parking can be somewhat challenging especially during peak hours of operation. Pro Tip: park across the street in the QC strip mall, it's Rockaway Boro you'll figure it out. LOL Come And Get Your Munch On!!

The bagel is ginormous, fresh, and homemade -- they must have made it with holy water or something because it was THAT good. Still warm, with this perfect chew to it -- doughy in the best way possible, but fully cooked. You know that texture where it's dense and chewy but not raw? That. I don't know how else to describe it other than just perfect. The sandwich itself? Banging. Egg cooked to perfection, great amount of steak, perfect portion of cheese. This is exactly what you close your eyes and picture when you think of a steak, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. Do yourself a favor and get this every single time. I cannot stress it enough. A note on ambiance and service: I typically cover these in my reviews, but I ordered on Uber Eats. Fast and packaged well. The bagel was so good I had to say something anyway. Overall: 5/5

I used to love this place and always had great experiences with the staff--especially the girls who…read moreworked here before. Today completely changed that. The Hispanic guy who took my order answered seven phone calls while I was standing there, dragging out what should've been a quick stop. I ordered two cream cheese bagels and one buttered bagel just to get in and out, but instead it turned into a frustrating wait. On top of that, the buttered bagel was a complete mess, and I ended up with butter all over my car and clothes. The bagels are great, but this employee made the experience miserable. I'm really disappointed, and unfortunately I won't be coming back.

Even better than the bagels? The staff are so sweet and very much reflect warmth, even when it's almost closing time on a Saturday (I am ashamed to say that is the time I usually stop by). The manager, Vianey, is so kind, and the conversations I have had with her, although short, have been wonderful. Back to the bagels-- have you ever had a FRENCH TOAST BAGEL?? It exists! It's dessert for breakfast, but not in the typical sugar crash when you get to the office type of breakfast. I've attached some pictures I took of the french toast bagel. I believe they knead the dough with streaks of sugar and goodness without over-doing it. Chef's kiss. I also do have to note that they wrap their bagels very well, and it will not stain the inside of your purse (this has happened to me at other places before and I am not a fan of dirtying my purse for breakfast). There are also plenty of tables and food and drink options that are not bagels like muffins, pastries, cookies, a myriad of flavors of juice and lemonade, coffee, and a huge variety of bagel sandwiches which I have yet to try, but I will be taking myself on a solo date here when the weather gets warmer, and I will have to restrain myself from buying the whole menu.

And to me that's obviously the case. My Taylor Ham, Egg, Cheese, with Avocado on an Everything Bagel Sandwich was dynamite deliciousness. Loaded with fresh tasty ingredients and that firm yet soft Bagel was the perfect foundation for this handheld masterpiece. Gotta also add that I was totally impressed with how all the toppings had held on throughout the entire session. They offer a Freshly Brewed Coffee Station where customers can make their own cup exactly how they want it. I've always preferred this method over someone else making my cup and adding way too much sugar or creamer. No thanks, just show me where the cups are and I'll take it from here  Lol. Service is friendly fast and efficient, my order was ready as soon as I finished making my perfectly blended cup of 100% Arabican Bean Brew. You'll find lots of parking available plus easy access to and from Eagle Rock Ave and Eisenhower Parkway. Come And Get Your Bagel Munch On!!

I see a lot of comments on service, but it's what you'd expect for a Jersey bagel joint, no frills, but the order is accurate and delicious. It was $7.00 for two bagels, a little expensive but worth it in my humble opinion. I'm always looking for a good local spot for bagels, and Gabe's did not disappoint. Check them out!
