They take the extra time to make sure my order is right, which surprisingly is not something that happens everywhere. I like my bagel toasted extremely dark and they take the time to do so. I only go here when possible, the food is fresh and they have a huge lunch selection of wraps, heroes and salads. A corporate person's dream for a varied lunch selection at an affordable price. Also a huge selection of drinks. read more

Stopped by for the first time today. Good bagels are sorely lacking in this area but Buono Bagels was a better option. Having lived in NY most of my life, I admit that I'm a bagel snob so the bagel I had here wasn't special by any means but the owner was kind and had a warmth about him that makes me want to visit again. I got an everything bagel with cream cheese. Bagel wasn't as pillowy on the inside as I would've liked but the taste was decent with enough everything seasoning to make it an actual everything bagel. It had a fair amount of cream cheese, although my spoiled NY taste buds would've prefered a tad bit more. Overall, it was better than Bagel Shack. And since there are no good bagel places around, I'll probably be back. read more

Bagels are small and expensive and the service is slow. The only good thing is it is clean but not worth your money

I have a few favorite local bagel stops and this is one of them. Their bagels are always fresh and the shop itself is cute. read more

Buono Bagels - Plain bagel with plain cream cheese and lox - Bagels Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

Bagels are really good and they do pretty good breakfast sandwiches. Very convenient because it's on the southbound side of route 17, service is always fast. read more

This has to be THE worst run bagel shop around. 2 people working behind the counter, 6 people on line. First two people order a breakfast sandwich, one from each worker. Now both workers go the griddle to cook the two sandwiches. While the 4 other people on line stand there waiting for two workers to cook two sandwiches instead of one e cooking both and the other waiting on customers. I just walked out shaking my head. All I wanted was a bagel, didn't even want anything on it, just a plain bagel. Please learn how to work a counter or you could go out of business read more

I saw other reviews mentioning that this place being overpriced-- yeah it's ALLLLL TRUE! About $4 for a bagel with regular cream cheese, $7.50 (!!!) for a half lb of tuna salad and about $3 for a SMALL COFFEE !!!! Sorry but those prices are rediculous! Save your money. The staff service was bad. The guy didn't even put cream cheese on this bagel! read more

Buono Bagels - I guess this is how skimpy they are with how much cream cheese they put on a bagel - Bagels Near Me - Ramsey, New Jersey

These comments are insane... I come here all the time on my way back and forth to NYC and the bagels/ BECS's are SO GOOD. I usually can't even wait to get home to eat. I have to eat it right in my car and end up finishing the whole thing. The bacon is always perfect. The egg/cheese/saltpeppercatchup/ is perfectly placed together and mellllltsss in your mouth. Service is perfect for a bagel shop and I love that they accept credit/debit cards. I always recommend this spot to people who are commuting into the city. read more

By far the slowest bagel shop I have ever been too. Went in at 945 on a Thursday. Three people ahead of me all had ordered. Three people working. Waited 20 mins for a bagel with cream cheese. Not even toasted ha. I'll go into town next time read more

Been going there for breakfast and today they took away the TV. Good food and nice staff but no TV! Crazy

Seriously hit or miss. I've had perfectly good bagels here that brought me back for more but sometimes they are dry hard rocks that shouldn't be sold in NJ. I'll give them another try but wouldn't recommend to a friend. Easy parking in lot. read more

Bacon egg and cheese is delicious! Only 2 workers in there 8:30 on a Wednesday morning but they were hustling.

Delicious! We have stopped at this bagel spot multiple times on our way to the city because it is right off of the highway. The service is fast and they have a variety. This visit I got the jalepeno bagel with vegetable cream cheese. It was so good! I have never had vegetable cream cheese... And I must say it's filled with the veggies ! So only get it if you love the veg... Onion, scallions, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, I think celery, and more! It was great. Also got a fruit cup and my husband loves to get the Taylor ham with egg and cheese on an egg bagel. Taylor ham is a new jersey thing so he recommends trying it. If you heading to the city check or just in the area check them out! They also have deli items so grab your lunch too! read more

I ordered a bagel with cream cheese when I took a bite and it tasted moldy. After looking closer, I found some mold on the bottom of the bagel! I was very disappointed and upset that I just wasted $4! read more

We stop at Buono's before heading to the Hudson Valley for hikes. It's a great deli with delicious options and a friendly staff that is well lit and beautifully maintained. read more

Place is headed downhill. The staff is pittyful and no Manager to run them. They didn't pack my entire order and when I called they laughed. Never going back!! Wish I could do zero stars. read more

I don't come here often but I really like this bagel shop. It doesn't disappoint. They have a large selection of bagels and spreads. Service is pretty quick and they are located in a center with a lot of parking. I like the garlic bagel with vegetable cream cheese. read more

No prices on the wall. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese. Guess i should have asked how much it was cause i got charged $8. Sandwich was ....ok but no where near worth $8. I won't be back. read more

OVERPRICED! ordered a bagel with cream cheese and got charged $4. All other bagel places in the area charge around $2.75z. Not worth the price. Can't imagine what a bagel with egg and meat cost! read more

Disgusting unhealthy factory bagels. Like most others - people don't realize the unhealthy unnatural crap in these things.

After passing this place for a few years since they moved I figured I would stop in fo lunch. I got a bagel with just tuna an when he rang up $9 I almost fell over. read more

Okay, here's the deal: I used to work in Ramsey and went there regularly. Since I am absolutely a creature of habit, I would always get bacon & egg on an everything bagel. Fast forward 3 years and I am now in Maywood. My new office is about 10 miles from my old office and Buono bagels is about 1/8 mile from my old office making it damn close to 10 miles from my new office. In that 10 mile span of Bergen County there must be at least 2 dozen bagel joints. On some Saturday mornings I will still make the 20 mile round trip to eat their bacon & egg on an everything bagel. Point made? read more

Shouldnt even give one star, ordered a sesame bagel toasted with butter. Simple enough order. I open it about 3 miles south on rt 17 and this is what I got. A BURNT BAGEL... so when it had to be buttered, did they see the charred burnt bagel.. yup and still gave it to me. Thanks for ruining my breakfast... read more

First thing you realize is that there is 3-4 people behind the counter, ready to service this busy location. The taylor ham, egg and cheese is really quite special. I only realized this because I had not ordered it for a while, getting this sandwich from other places. Once I decided to order it, I was amazed. Great service and quality food will always bring you back. read more

I was here this morning and what I saw blew my mind. They were unloading Rockland Bakery "bagels" into their bins. Rockland Bakery bagels are a 0 on a scale of 1-10; why would you jeopardize your business by serving an inferior product. I asked the guy behind the counter what the deal was and he ignored me. I was there the day before and noticed something was off. Not sure what the story is but I won't be going back. read more

This is a good little spot for breakfast or lunch. Driving down Rt 17, all I wanted was a bagel. There were tons on Dunkin Donuts, but their bagels suck so I kept my eye out for a legit bagel place. I stumbled upon this place. The inside is pretty neat. The bagels are behind a glass wall. They had lots of varieties and the bagels themselves were good. They also had the essential cream cheese flavors (e.g. chive and veggie), all the salad types (e.g. potato, egg, tuna, macaroni, etc), and Boars Head cold cuts. They also had coffee and candies, bagged chips, etc. read more

I'm writing a review to try to negate 2 lame reviews I read below. The first lame review was about how bagels are unhealthy - so don't eat them or come to a bagel store? I mean, common sense? If that's the best review you got, you're just looking for a reason to gripe. The other lame review is about slow service & how "dunking" donuts up the road is faster. Yes sir, it might be faster but that's bc their "food" if that's what you want to call it, is all frozen & microwaved. I recently came here twice while visiting family. Not sure why they didn't take me here during my past visits bc I enjoyed the food. The bagels are large & fresh. I liked the veggie cream cheese so much I bought some to take home. I also had a BEC bagel & the bacon was crispy, just how I like it. The menu seemed very extensive so you could seemingly always try something new. The prices also seemed fair. This one female employee, she knew my family/my family knew her by name. Unfortunately due to covid, had to take the food to go. I would come here again next time I'm in Bergen county. read more

Last visit. Food is good but never paying 8 dollars again for eggs on a bagel. Not even meat. I can get a full breakfast sandwich with meat and a large coffee at most Delis for that or less. read more

Great bagels! I've gotten a sausage egg and cheese and their nova lox with cream cheese both are amazing! I live in CT and always pick up a dozen bagels when I pass by, just put them in the freezer and they hold up really well (and better than any in CT). I'm not sure why people are complaining about the wait, it's cooked to order, if you want a fast sandwich go get a frozen egg sandwich from somewhere else that they microwave for you. read more

In these tough times I try and support small businesses but this place does not even deserve to be supported with the slow and horrible service.I was about to order a breakfast sandwich but the service here is beyond slow I waited 10min for this employee to finish the customer's order by the time it took him to cut a muffin in half I was about to walk out, I was fed up with the lack of simple business work ethic and ordered a lousy coffee should have just stick to the dunking donuts down the street read more

Charged me $8 for a breakfast sandwich that ended up being wrong and I didn't realize until I was home

The place is really cute. The presentation of the food in the cases made me feel like we happened upon a good bagel store. Was I wrong! It was quite possibly the worst bagel I have ever had. Felt like it was two days old. Don't be fooled by the decor. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

Buono? Please. I vowed to never go back before they expanded to their new location a few doors down, but my empty stomach took the wheel out of necessity and veered into their parking lot. The line was out the door. It didn't move. I felt like I was on line for a loaf of bread during the depression. Yeah, that slow. As I crept closer, one floor tile every five minutes, I could see the staff creeping just as slow. Zero sense of urgency. Like it didnt matter that the line was 15 deep! You'd get an occasional stare at the line like a deer in headlights. I actually overheard someone (who seemed to be the Manager) make a comment that their toaster must be a "Union Toaster" since it's so slow. Unreal. They could care less that you're waiting and have somewhere to go. Oh, and the bagel was sub-par. A bagel, that in this foodie's opinion was akin to the bagels you'd buy in the deep south. read more

We are from NY where they make delicious bagels. Every now and then we crave a warm soft cinnamon raisin bagel middle scooped out lightly toasted thin layer of cream cheese with a hefty portion of nova lox topped with sweet onions and tomatos. Yummy yummy yummy! Well, now we live in Dallas TX and can't find a decent bagel spot. The bagel here was hard, chewy and simply put lacked taste. I threw it out the window over the bridge on my way home. read more

Admittedly, not my favorite place, but I was nearby and it was late so I stopped. The bagel didn't taste fresh ; probably left over from breakfast. I have come earlier in the day and the bagels were much better. read more

The whole wheat bagel was fine. I asked for low fat Cream cheese and asked for just a little cream cheese. I got a slab of cream cheese the was very cold. I could live with all the above but not paying $3.70 for a bagel and cream cheese. I should have gone to bagel train in Suffern. The people there are as wonderful as the bagels. So I am one and done at Buono. BTW. They are located next to Grand Buffet. read more

Sandwich was great! And crumb cake was awesome as well. I got The Gobbler and the crumb cake in the case. Phenomenal!!!! read more

I have been buying bagels by the dozen and cream cheese and butter twice a week for the last month. I do this at least 4-5 months a year. In the last 3 weeks the price of butter and cream cheese has increased by $5. I asked to verify this was correct and told each time that "the prices go up." Fine. I was planning on buying anyway. But this morning when I attempted to pay with my American Express card, as I always have for the last 2-3 years, the counter person said to me, quite rudely, " don't you have Visa or MasterCard?" When I told him no he replied that "they reward you very Well but we not us and we pay a higher fee." He reluctantly took my card. If you don't want to take AMEX, then don't. Take the sticker off the door. After this mornings rude and embarrassing episode, I will Never return anyway. Aside from being convenient and on the highway, their food is nothing special. read more

This place is RACIST they only treat the WHITE customers the Right way. Money is Green isn't it?? It's your typical morning bagel spot or if your more of the Sausage Egg and Cheese type they got it. The staff tries to rush you when your ordering. Feel like they can't handle the pressure of there business. I've had workers here tell me "let's speed it up buddy". Last time at the establishment sealed the deal to me they lost my business. Gave 1 star cause it won't let me give them Zero Stars read more

Buono's is--hands down--the best bagel place on or around rt 17. They're fast, friendly, and delish. They make their egg and cheese bagel sandwiches the right way (that is, warm and a bit messy). Try their walnut raisin cream cheese and I swear to god you'll die happy. A must for any southbound traveler. read more
