After a fairly exhaustive search for catering options for breakfast in the area of Ridgefield, I ran across Carlos Bagels, a shop "relatively" close to the hotel our group was staying in for a weekend rowing regatta. Carlos catering menu has a variety of options for breakfast, for lighter or heavier appetites. Since I was feeding rowers, this menu really stood out compared to the other bagel shops I researched. Offering fruit bowls and yogurt parfaits along with their variety of bagel sandwiches is a big win. I took full advantage of that variety and ordered a similar breakfast spread for delivery for Saturday and Sunday. Carlos staff easily (and happily) accommodated 6 am delivery, confirmation of orders, even a gluten free add on at the last minute. I worked with Juan, Filipe and Juliana and I could not have been more pleased with their kindness and willingness to help me do this from Cincinnati. Their delicious morning delivery fueled the kids to some pretty big successes on the rowing course! Carlos Bagels is definitely my "go to" for next year when we return. read more

Today was the first day I stopped by Carlos Bagel Shop & I was insanely impressed. Amazing selection of coffees and sandwiches and the food tastes amazing! Super friendly staff and extremely welcoming owner. Will definitely be my new bagel spot. read more

Amazing, everything was just so good. The carrot cake latte was out of this world amazing tastes great. The bowl was good eggs were cooked perfectly great flavor, the potato's were cooked good great flavor was well, the avocado was super fresh, the sausage was great also. The bacon egg and cheese with a hash brown was great also. They don't cheap out on the bacon or the eggs. The fresh orange juice was also great. Definitely order ahead or come early as it does get very busy. The service was great workers were nice and food was ready fast. Plenty of inside seating as well. Definitely will be back again read more

Very clean, upscale and trendy bagel (and more) spot in the heart of Hawthorne! We always get bagels & bagel sandwiches to go, but today my daughter's and I dined in for the first time! The inside is busy and clean! We ordered the southern omelet platter, some pre-packaged juices, cookies & fries. The omelet came with the eggs, home fries (or hash browns), and a whole bagel [with butter or cream cheese]. Everything tasted good, but arrived barely warm, which was a bit disappointing (the reason for the missing star). The fries were super crispy (they better be amazing for about $6) and the cookies were crunchy yet soft at the same time...so good! The staff is super friendly, kept picking up whatever we were done with & checking in on us, so please tip well if you dine in. There is also street parking & a small parking lot (for about 5-10 cars). Give them a try! read more

Long story short: This place is awesome and worth taking a drive to go to! They have so many options for sandwiches, wraps, coffees, bagels it's amazing. Prices are fair too even though I could easily see this being one of those viral places with high prices, it's not and it's totally worth the hype. Shaken espresso was delicious and so was the bagel sandwiches, they also have a nice variety of mini bagels which is pretty cool to sample some of their cream cheeses since they have a lot of variety there too. read more

I love Carlos Bagel Shop this was my fifth time going. I love that they change and bring new things to the menu, every month. This month I tried the passion fruit matcha and it was amazing with oat milk. I also got huevos perico, bacon and cheese on a pan de bono. Amazing so good. Tasty. Service was fast, although they were very busy. They handle it so well. Ambiance is great, the place is very busy. The line was all the way outside. read more

I can't get enough of Carlos! From the friendly people who work here to the food it's all excellent! This place has def become one of my places to go to regularly. The people who work here genuinely look happy to assist or help you, good ambiance to have a meal there or to go. Can't wait to stop by next month for their new drink and sandwich! The passion fruit matcha was good but the tres golpes was the star of it all, delicious and tasty I could only have half! read more

My coworker introduced me to Carlos Bagel Shop in Hawthorne a few weeks ago. She suggested that I would like their Strawberry Matcha Latte, a seasonal item on its menu. Well, she was dead on. Since that first drink, I'd been meaning to try out more from CBS. Last week, I got the chance to get a bagel for lunch. I went with Fresh Lox on an Everything Bagel with Scallion Cream Cheese, Tomato, and Onion. It's one of the best lox bagel sandwiches that I've ever had. So good! read more

Definitely worth the hype! We tried one of their February pan de bono sandwich specials & drink specials - they were pretty good. The matcha had a good matcha taste with their strawberry cold foam. Service was super friendly & asked us multiple times if we needed anything! It does get super packed, I'd recommend coming very early! The restaurant was very spacious & there were 2 sides to of the restaurant to sit in. Definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

We stopped by on a Sunday morning around 10:30 a.m., and it was packed. The line to order moved a bit slowly, but once we placed our order, the food and drinks came out quickly. We tried the Pandebono sandwich, an everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, the everything empanada, and a hot chocolate. Everything had great flavor, but our main complaint was that the cheese on each item wasn't melted. It felt a bit rushed. The everything empanada wasn't even heated through. That said, we'll definitely be back since there's so much more on the menu we'd love to try. We're hoping the cheese issue was just a one-time thing. The inside of the shop is super cute and makes for a really enjoyable atmosphere. read more

I am not lying when I say this is my favorite breakfast spot in Bergen/Passaic County. The food is amazing (pandebono sandwich is insane), the coffee and matcha are delicious, the customer service is above and beyond, etc. They have takeout down to a science, could not be more efficient. This is where I want to eat each and every time!!!! read more

I do want to start off this review with saying their bagels are incredible. However, it has now happened three times that I have ordered 12 bagels online and I have never received 12, which honestly should be 13. Bakers dozen. This is the only bagel shop that does not do bakers dozen. Weird. Anyways, two times I received 8 bagels, but paid for 12. Today I received 9, but again paid for 12. Now shame on me for not counting before leaving the store since this is a reoccurring issue, stealing from their local customers, but honestly come on. This is ridiculous to have happened once, nevermind three times. Please count your bagels. Also about two years ago there was a long hair in my cream cheese spread. I never said a word about this. Never complained, but enough is enough. Do better! read more

Put this place on the Rushmore of NJ bagel shops. Look no further - if you want fantastic food and drinks, this is your spot. The food here is so good and there are so many options you can come here time after time again and always try something new and delicious. They are constantly adding new monthly sandwiches and coffees which are great. My wife and I frequent this spot almost weekly it feels. Its rare to come in here without a line, its ALWAYS busy so that speaks volumes of how good the food is. Are the bagels the best? That may be up for debate but I assure you they are fantastic and this is a completely elevated experience of food. They have stuff other places don't offer like cream cheese flights so you can try multiple and many other interesting menu items. The service here is always top notch - THEY HAVE TO BE. You could never serve as many people as they do if the staff wasn't good. The website is great and easy to use and allows you to order ahead of time which is a must. Carlos' Bagel Shop is what we in the biz call a 5-star establishment. If you come in here and get a buttered plain bagel you've done yourself an injustice. read more

Everything I've eaten here is good, new fave unlocked de pan de bono sandwich is soooo good. We also tried the loaded hash browns 10/10 and the avocado toast. read more

I am certainly a regular at Carlos's Bagel Shop! To start the decor is very modern and welcoming. It's not an ordinary bagel shop. It is more like a Bagel and Coffee Cafe! The staff is ALWAYS friendly and accommodating. Their food is always fresh and made to order. This specific visit I ordered the Coquito Chai, which was AMAZING (sorta tastes like horchata), Chicken Deluxe on a Bagel, my friend ordered an egg sandwich and we also had a mini French toast bagel with their cream cheese of the month (which was a Bailey coffee like cream cheese). This bagel was an amazing sweet treat. You'd never think it tasted as good as it did. It was so good we went the day after for it as well! :) Highly recommend! read more

Went to Carlo's for a bagel. The line was out the door, they were very busy but were efficient and quick. The service was very friendly and helpful. You could eat inside, they had an outdoor eating area and of course you can take your food to go. There was a place to pickup your order if you placed your order online. The bagels were just as good as anywhere else around, they had a great selection and the prices were fair. I thought the strawberry cream cheese was a little more flavorful than other flavored cream cheese that I've tried. To be honest, there's a couple other bagel places closer to my house, so I doubt I'll go back, but if you're in the area and looking for breakfast, give them a try. read more

This is not your average bagel shop. The menu is amazing and I can't wait to try more. On my first visit, we got the monthly special - bacon, egg, cheese, and hash brown in a pan de bono, the breakfast steak sandwich on a bagel, the Spanish latte and a berry smoothie. We ordered everything to go and everything travelled well and was still perfect when we got home. WOW the flavors were spoooooot on. I need to return one day for lunch because the hot honey burger on the menu definitely caught my eye read more

The first time took the whole family here it was great. Coffee was delicious and bagels were on point. The second time however ordered a bagel and I kid you not it tasted like liquid dish soap was mixed into the cream cheese ! I couldn't get over that type of mistake... literally didn't expect to be poisoned while eating a damn bagel. The servers taking the order seemed friendly. The place was clean inside but very busy and lots of bright lights, felt very open. read more

I loved my bagel here so much the other day I came back again to try a million of them!!! lol. I mean I came to get one or two and left with 2 dozen. Truth. Why?? Because they are THAT good. I will say my peeps and I are most fond of the egg everything and the jalapeño cheddar - which came fresh out of the oven. The egg is sooooo soft inside and tasty. And then with the everything spice it's pure heaven. My peeps however thought the jalapeño cheddar was the best bagel they ever had. And it might be. It had four slices of jalapeño on top covered with cheddar cheese that melted over the whole thing. I wish I could tell you just how soft and savory and comforting that bagel is!!! The others - French toast and cinnamon raisin are so cinnamon-y and delicious. The pumpernickel rye is phenomenal. Love the flagels. All so good. These are some of the best bagels anywhere. Truth. Try them. read more

The bagels are half cooked and doughy. Chewy. No flavor. They put on too much cream cheese I won't be going back. read more

Saw a Tik Tok about this place and since it's literally 3 minutes away and I had off today I decided to get breakfast. I ordered online and was told pick up was in about 20 min from me placing my order. First parking is ok I parked on the street and walked right in and my order was ready. Was about 8:50 so not many people but a decent amount of people. I ordered the Coquito Chai Latte iced with almond milk it was delicious a nice blend of flavors with a hint of spice- loved it!! The Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese on an everything bagel was as good as I expected after reading the reviews. I would have added another egg but it was still yummy and hit the right spot. Inside was bright and airy with nice booths for you to sit in. Definitely will be back with hubby and the kids to try their lunch menu and definitely some different kind of drinks. With tip the price for my food alone was about $17.00. So not cheap but definitely worth the money if you want something different (the iced latte). read more

I can't say enough good about the bagels from this bagel shop. They are crispy on the outside soft on the inside. Best bagels I've ever had. They have very creative sandwiches, daily specials, great coffee. It's actually gotten to the point where I don't have any interest in going to any other closer bagel store. This place is a little bit out of my way, but it's definitely worth the trip. I find the staff to be very helpful and very nice. It's also very pretty inside. It's very warm and comforting. I would highly recommend for anyone to try this. I cannot imagine anyone not liking it because the bagels are exceptional. read more

Everyone there is so professional and pleasant. I try to keep gluten free so I get my egg and Turkey bacon on a pan de queso, gf Colombian/Brazilian (not sure) bread. They cook my eggs the way I request them paying close attention to my online order requests. Happy to support this family business. read more

I love coming to Carlos bagel shop! The food here is always amazing. They have some new fall menu items you have to try! For starters you have to try the pumpkin spice latte, and if you like apples you will like their apple caramel latte. You MUST try their loaded hashbrown, absolutely amazing and flavorful!

Stopped here because of a recommendation of a friend. I wanted to get breakfast at another spot nearby but they were closed. I was looking to do a breakfast wrap of some type and settled on the Powerhouse, a healthy wrap with egg whites and spinach. When I got to the counter I was greeted and began ordering but the phone rang and she stopped taking my order to take the phone order then they also rang up the guy behind me before getting back to me. I found this to be incredibly rude and almost walked out but I was hungry. After I finally ordered I got my coffee, which was very good and had a seat. Within a few minutes I got the wrap and it was pretty basic with not much tastiness going on. I didn't find anything special here and won't be back. read more

Got Carlo's bagel for breakfast and it might have been the best decision I've ever made. These bagels are unreal, the quality is like super fluffy and delicious bread from a bakery.

My favorite bagel shop in this town. Whenever I'm in the area for breakfast/brunch this is our must stop. Food: 10 Service: 10 Ambiance: 9 Egg everything is my favorite. Those egg bagels are always gone first so get em early. Loaded Hashbrown is a must try! So delicious. Perfect mix of typical jersey bagels with a Colombian twist. Coffee is perfection. The workers and owners are always pleasant. Fresh juices available and they have self serve hot coffee. Pandebono's are always coming home with me in a lil' bag. Try one with coffee. read more

Went to Carlos' the other day, and was not disappointed! As a native New Jerseyan, I am indeed picky with my bagels. I don't like to venture out of my favorite spot. I had gone with a friend of mine, and I got the NJ favorite: Taylor Ham + Egg & Cheese on an Everything Bagel (with S/P/K). The bagel sandwich was excellent. The bagel had a nice chew, and the sandwich was made promptly and was --- as you can see by the pictures --- quite a sight. I had that with a cup of Hazelnut Roast coffee which was equally as great. On top of that, the service was efficient and the ladies were so nice to speak to. Great service, great food, great spot. read more

A cute, clean and modern bagel shop with varying items (don't pigeon hole them as just a bagel spot though!) This place feels divided into two parts, one side to order and the other side for pick up and drinks. They have a variety of hand rolled bagels on display, breakfast platters and sandwiches, a few salads, healthier items like oatmeal and bowls, smoothies and lattes. The tuna salad sandwich and freshly squeezed oj were good but didn't love the garden sandwich (not many veggies so not too satisfying). The fries were very good though. Overall plenty of options and reasonably priced. (They do charge 4% on credit card purchases.) Friendly staff and a great pillar business in Hawthorne. read more
