We have been here before but this morning we had a Taylor Ham, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. The Taylor ham was grilled just right. The bagel was fresh. The service was fast. We ate inside at a table. People were coming and going and there is plenty of parking in their lot. All their bagels look good. I would recommend this place if you have not tried it. read more

I ordered a bacon and egg bagel sandwich. The bagel itself was very good. However, I was disappointed that they used packaged cooked bacon.

Fast service and very fresh bagel. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a cheddar jalapeño bagel and you can really taste the fresh cheddar and real jalapeño. Came around 8:30-8:45 on a weekday morning and although there were many people coming in and out there was never a line and everyone was served promptly. Parking was plentiful and I found a spot right outside the door which was great on a cold morning. Ambiance inside was classic deli style with a lot of seating options available. Would definitely come back and recommend! read more

Awesome, quick service and the Asiago Bagel was scrumptious! The lady who fixed my order was all business but not rude and very efficient. The place has a few tables, a great selection of deli food other than bagels, and it has self serve coffee. It gets busy in there so it tends to be a little stuffy but you're only in there for a quick second. The prices are higher than my area but the flavors is there so it's worth it. read more

I don't get to Clinton very often, but when I do I stop at Clinton Bagel for lunch. In my most recent visit I ordered a plain bagel with lox, sliced tomato, and VERY LIGHT cream cheese (I'm picky). This is what I always order at bagel shops. At Clinton Bagel I was served a very fresh and delightfully soft bagel with a very nice amount of lox with two tomato slices (not just one) and the right amount of cream cheese. Many times people just slap together a sandwich as quickly as possible, but this one was made perfectly - exactly as I'd asked. Thank you Clinton Bagel for an excellent sandwich! I'll be back! read more

Clinton Bagel Company has been a local staple for many years and is very popular with the residents. Although ownership changed hands they continue to provide delicious bagels and service with a smile. A good sign is when you see NJ State Troopers from the local barracks frequently patronize the establishment. The setting is a typical old school bagel shop look. read more

My credit card was rejected as it was turned off. I asked if they could hold it for me and I would be right back. A man standing in line said to them , I got this!! Thank you so very much For your kindness!!! And the bagels are amazing!! read more

We really like the bagels here. They are fresh and delicious and this store is always open in the early mornings. After church we always get a fresh bagel with lox and onions and tomatoes and it make our day. We highly recommend the poppy seed bagel and especially when they are toasted. The taylor ham sandwiches are also out of this world. read more

The staff is so friendly and the store is very clean inside. My blt on an Asiago bagel was so reasonably priced and came with chips and macaroni salad and was $7 and change. Definitely will be heading back. Also delicious crumb cake! read more

A perfect little family run bagel shop. Prices are very budget friendly. The staff was extremely charming and welcoming. The bagels were very fresh and they were generous with the cream cheese. Not a lot of seating so plan on taking it to go. We were just traveling on the highway and looking for a quick breakfast and this was so much better than a fast food stop. I am putting this on our itinerary as we travel back-and-forth. Don't forget to grab a couple of bagels to go. You won't be sorry. read more

Bagels are great! It was packed when we went and worked through the line quickly. We will be coming back.

Honestly, as you know if you've read any of my reviews, customer service is so important! I'm giving you my business and I don't have to. The least you can do is say hello. So I will start here, you walk in and every single time, there's not one person manning the front. You can't even get anyone's attention. Doesn't matter how many people are in the store waiting. Finally when they see you, it's like you're bothering them. This last time I had it... the woman turns around with a nasty, maskless look on her face and said can I help you (sarcastically) like I was a bother to her. I then said, "I placed an order online for pickup". There's always something with this place. This time, they didn't care that I said no egg on my bagel, it came with egg. Now I know to check every time because they don't know how to read an order. Actually, they don't care, simple like that. The reason I gave two stars and not one... well they make a better bagel (even though it's a little too soft) and give you more meat and cream cheese than the other bagel place in town. Don't get me started on that one. If I haven't written a review already, I will be. What's up with NO ONE caring about their customers? Zero customer service, I mean do not expect anything. So to continue, they could not fill the online order, they were out of a specific bagel. So the guy was letting me leave the store and I said wait, "there's only one bagel, there's supposed to be two". Then this depressed face, short blonde headed woman looks at me like I'm inconveniencing her and says nastily, "we were out of it". Not, I'm sorry, we ran out or is there something else we could get for you? No, they don't care, this is what she said, "we didn't charge you for it, we refunded the card". I'm like, ok then, that's fine, but for heaven's sake, please try to be nicer to your customers. I'm literally getting so fed up with this! They do not care about anyone, bottom line. Also, there's usually someone texting right there on their phones while there's a line. This time it was one of the nasty blondes. I'm not that old, but these guys are a bunch of kids who have nothing else better to do with their lives, but make other people's miserable. In addition to this, the place is super small and once again, check your order before you leave! I'm also noticing that not many good reviews have come in lately. Makes sense! They could care less! read more

Place never disappoints, runs like a well oiled machine bagels are always fresh and not stingy with the meat, a must have if in the area. Solid price read more

These are THE best bagels! My favorite are the blueberry bagels with cream cheese. My family has been getting bagels from here since I was a kid, and now, no other bagel places can live up to this one! read more

Definitely the best bagels! A classic in this area. Made fresh everyday but also had an extensive menu of sandwiches, wraps, etc. Any time of bagel you can think of, they probably have. Their speciality spreads are also homemade. Better to get there earlier than later as bagels will sell out on busier days. With COVID, they have plexiglas and separate entry and exit. However, there have been several times that the masks are not over the employees noses and customers being six feet apart is not well monitored since curbside pickup was retracted. read more

Go here often but have been slacking odd lately. The food is fin but service is shoddy. I get the same 3 bagels everyday.... And at half the time they get one of orders wrong. Very frustrating. Good get it yourself coffee set up. Nice area to sit in the back on nice days.. good place that could be much better. read more

Close to the heart of Clinton and tucked into the back corner of a multi business building, this is where I go for local bagels. Now mind you, I should not be eating bagels but when I have the craving, this is where I stop! read more

I have been to this bagel shop on five different occasions and never once have they had cinnamon raisin bagels. So I'm not coming back. Flemington has better bagels anyway read more

Love the power bagels and the flagels. Sandwiches are good. I'm not a fan going during summer simply because they mean well in hiring local kids but they are always all over the place or disorganized. I wish they offered a coffee bar like latte or espresso Iced bar in summer. It's serve yourself approach. Only really hot and the non fresh brew for Iced. Otherwise- as far as bagels and spreads go they are decent. read more

What happened to this place? Just got a dozen of these thin, dry, bread circles. Prices up and quality way down. Sad.

The place is a joke no order on whose there first or consideration for there customers I sat there for 20 minutes trying to purchase a cup of coffee and they served people who came in after me continuously never again get a grip on your employees read more

I have been here many times but this time was 25-30 minutes before closing. I asked for a bagel, toasted with cream cheese. I also want a sandwich with bread instead of bagel and was informed that side is closed because they are cleaning the slicer. I thought closed is when you were so doing business not when you left the building. Oh, and as a side note: bagel was not toasted. If you want to close at 1:30, close at 1:30 don't pretend to be open and not actually serve customers. read more

This used to be one of my favorite local bagel places. No longer. The customer service is abominable. My young son and I went on a recent Saturday. We arrived 15 minutes before closing and we were given the death stare. The young, blond woman behind the counter was such a rude sourpuss. She refused to make us a buttered bagel. She just threw our two overpriced bagels in a bag and sent us on our way. The bagels were sub-par and the service was less than zero. Such a shame. The quality has really tanked since the ownership changed. I realize there are staffing shortages and other challenges for small businesses, but that is no excuse to treat customers like garbage. read more

This place is terrible. I was misled by the Google reviews. My friend's grilled chicken wrap was made with microwaved chicken. My bagel was burnt and was drenched in butter. It was inedible. The coffee had a weird after taste. Lastly-nobody was wearing masks and the whole place had major "Get Out" vibes read more

I didn't realize you can mess up a bagel. I asked for it lightly toasted and this is what I get - burnt. And isn't this a bagel shop.. all the bagel bins were empty. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

Not what it used to be. But still the best around. Get the pork roll egg and cheese you won't be disappointed

I used to swear by how great their bagels were but after today I will never go back. I ordered a bagel sandwich and in my bagel baked in was blond hair. I'm absolutely disgusted. When I called regarding it the lady Carla started saying it wasn't hair it was something they cook the bagels with. Regardless it shouldn't be baked in the bagels. She wasn't even sympathetic about the situation. After this experience and other errors in the past I will not be returning. They are going to get someone sick with poor quality control. read more

Stopped in on Easter Sunday after a long drive from Manhattan. Their advertised hours were until Noon. Walked in at 11:45, refused us service and said they had no bagels left. Despite seeing a bag of bagels behind the counter. Was definitely disappointed after the long drive, while being pregnant and not being able to nourish a craving. New management has been less than great. Such a shame bc this used to be THE spot. read more

We stopped her on the way to NYC. Easy to get to and not far off the highway. It was a Sunday morning and the place was packed which was a good sign. As a first timer the ordering process seemed very unorganized and the employees were too busy to answer any newb questions. Not a lot of room inside but there are plenty of clean picnic tables outside. Chicken salad is excellent the philly cheese steak is good but pretty far from a philly cheese steak. Currently restrooms are for employees only and my buddies wife had to walk across the road to the CVS. read more

So sad to see a Hunterdon county staple go down hill :/ Bagels are much smaller, no more of the high school type students always working, overall mood inside is now miserable.. hopefully it can go back to what it has always been & different ownership read more

Consistently good food whether you go with a bagel breakfast sandwich or a specialty lunch sandwich. Be prepared to wait during peak hours but they are worth it. read more

Small town spot that used to be great new management ruined it. Service and food is horrible now

Love these bagels! They are heavy on the cream cheese which I love but if you're not a fan of that ask for it light or you'll be disappointed read more

Ben C says in his entertaining review that once you open the door at Clinton Bagel Company the smell of bagels is so aromatic and he awards five stars. Ben gets it mostly right. The aroma actually starts in the parking lot - you don't even have to open the door. And the bagels are worthy of five stars. We were the guests of honor at a brunch friends were hosting for family today in celebration of our visit (when you are considered family you know you have great friends) and when we asked what we could contribute we were directed to this bagel shop. Not only were the poppy seed, sesame seed, plain and raisin bagels delicious and chewy perfect, they were value priced. Just a little over $10 for a dozen yummy bagels, still slightly warm when we picked them up. What? Are you kiddin' me here? HOW do they do that? Create such great bagels for so little money? I do not know. Something to ponder while we chew our bagels. Our friends and their family call these the "blue building bagels" and when you see photos Ben C and others have posted you'll see why. Not much going on for ambiance, not much available in the way of seating inside, but this is definitely THE place in this part of NJ to pick up bagels to go. Which was evident by the full parking lot on a Sunday morning and the steady stream of customers with empty hands walking in and carrying bags of bagels walking out. We recommend you join that stream of customers if you're in the Clinton area. NOTE: They open at 7a but close early in the afternoon too...just after lunch, I'm told, or earlier if the bagels run out. I didn't' confirm that for myself, but the message was if you want to be guaranteed bagels, go earlier rather than later in the morning. read more

This is the best bagel place I have ever been to, even one's in New York can't compare. I usually get sausage, egg and cheese on a plain bagel and it is delicious!! There can be a long line but it moves fairly quickly considering how many orders they have to make. My family once asked the owner how many bagels they sell every day and she responded with about 5000, which is pretty impressive considering they are only open for a couple hours each day. Around the holidays, they also make colored bagels to add some festivity such as for Christmas and the 4th of July!! read more

Been going here for 5 years and I looove the bagels. They're fresh and not overdone. The dough is spectacular. I'm giving them 3 stars because I always have an issue with ordering a harvest bagel. If I'm there by 6am they don't have them done and when I go by 9am they're sold out. So not very convenient for commuters or those going to work. This has happened many times. Also they let sick people work and I've seen people cough all over the bagels. They also don't use gloves to prepare food and handle money at the same time. Hygiene and inventory needs to be improved because these are by far the best bagels! Wish they had online ordering bc the lines are long and sometimes the phone orders take a while to get thru due to only having one phone line. read more

The best bagels that ever existed!!! I've been going to this establishment for over 20 years. Honestly you can't go wrong with any order. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. Bacon egg and cheese or if you want to be a local then pork roll egg and cheese. Also the classic bagel and cream cheese is awesome. The walnut raisin cream cheese is sneakily awesome. I don't particularly love either of those items but mixed together are tasty. If you are anywhere near the area it's a must stop. Heads up there's also a bit of a line but the workers are awesome so it moves fast and goes to show just how good the bagels really are. read more

Best bagel I've had in my entire life. Tears streaming in the car. I will never be this happy ever again
