While waiting for our dinner at another restaurant to celebrate the end of 2025, we came to this place to buy some bagels and coffee because we hadn't had breakfast. The customer service was excellent; prices were good. We bought a cinnamon-rasin bagel with cream cheese, and a blueberry bagel ( nothing on it) to go because I loved the color. Blueberry's flavor and texture were great! Coffee was good. Congratulations on your business. And thank you for everything. It was 11:00 AM and about half full of customers with average noise. read more

I used to love going to this place and their bagels. I caught them overcharging me once and the manager had an attitude about it. He should have just apologized and been done with it Fortunately, I found celebrity bagels in Tenafly, a much better bagel and nicer attitude read more

Amazing bagels!!! It's the only place in town that my boss will eat from. The prices are reasonable and the bagels are incredible. There is plenty of street parking right outside which makes this bagel place easily accessible. read more

This The bagels here are nice but that's it. The service is terrible and workers are hella rude. One time I ordered a plain bagel with butter and they gave me cream cheese. They also over charge like crazy. It's like this don't know what they don't know what tier doing with the registers. NY prices in the middle of Nj. There is also one guy, maybe the owner, who rushes you and is super sassy. Sadly only bagel place in cresskill, hope they improve. read more

Bagels are mediocre and service is horrible. Much better bagel places around. Stay away!

Very delicious lox sandwich. Sema made it she is so kind. Highly recommend getting the everything bagel toasted.

Horrible I asked for 3 eggs over med and well done bacon on platter. The lady with the coverup on her head wanted to dispute the bacon. It was raw and the eggs were cold in the middle. I asked to put it back on grill easy I didn't eat it and she gave me some explanation about what over medium is, this is coming from a person who can't eat pork, I looked at her. I told her keep it. I walked out no refund. I don't even want the refund. They can keep the money don't ever go to that bagel store. Disgusting. read more

The cashier was very swift and really nice! Pleasant way to start my morning. Also, coffee is amazing, Thank you!

06:30 and already running a few minutes late, I tried calling by phone to Cresskill Hot Bagels to place an order for my team. No answer. Called again, no answer. Upon arrival, door is open and lights are on, but nobody at counter. Noone else in the shop. Worker emerges from kitchen. I give my order as the door opens and another customer enters. In Spanish, they great each other and he orders a dozen bagels. As the worker takes his order first, I walk out. That's how you lose a customer for life. Cabrón read more

Service is far and efficient. But prices are nuts. $6 for a bagel with cream cheese. Lots of seating though so good spot. read more

Cresskill Hot Bagels - a half eaten bagel - Bagels Near Me - Cresskill, New Jersey

Ive been here a few times and each time is more of a disappointment. Today was the last straw. I ordered a cheesesteak and waited 15 min for the guy to figure out what that meant and make it. I watched him pour a bottle of seasoning on the steak and then try and sweep off the extra, then wrap it up and give it to me. I took it because I thought maybe he got it all, and frankly I was hungry. It was a salt lick. The cheesesteak deal came with a soda, which he didnt give me, I had to ask someone else for one...and, there was no cheese in the sandwich. Please dont waste your time here...tenafly hot bagels (only a few minutes away) is SOOO much better. read more

placed a online delivery order....they got the entire order wrong. didn't try to customize what I ordered with specific instuctions. just sent all the wrong items and didn't bother to call to clarify the order..the wrote instructions onthe receipt and sent all wrong items....I will never from them again! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The price doesn't match the food. Why am I paying $10 for a sandwich with 1 piece of turkey bacon, 1 egg and 1 slice of cheese. And on top of that the workers are extremely rude. This place used to be the spot to be, now it's the place not to be. Please go anywhere else....like maybe Dunkin or something. read more

The best ! They've gotten really pricey (especially for things like the tuna salad pricing has gotten absurd!) which is why we don't order as much as we used to... but this is still my favorite bagel shop in town for many years! Hands down love their bagels though! read more

My boyfriend and I have been ordering from Cresskill Bagels for the past few months and were never disappointed. The ambiance is clean and welcoming, the staff is professional and friendly, the food is always fresh, made correctly and tastes delicious. I was surprised to see some bad reviews, but perhaps something has changed since those past posts as our experiences there thus far have been quite different. By far, one of our favorite breakfast spots! read more

I understand that inventory costs have increased considerably, but I think it's an inexcusable to serve a sandwich like this for over $7. For that price I would at least expect higher quality bacon but they serve very subpar bacon. Even the quality of Dunkin' Donuts bacon rivals the quality of Cresskill Hot Bagels' bacon. I just don't understand how a bacon, egg and cheese costs $2 less than a bacon, lettuce, and tomato yet has the same amount of bacon and costs more to make. read more

Now I get it that you have to adjust prices due to the current events. But $5.35 for a bacon egg and cheese on a mini bagel only to be outdone by paying for a bagel with butter but there's no butter. read more

Cresskill Hot Bagels - a close up of a sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Cresskill, New Jersey

excellent services. great atmosphere & quality food !!! most important its a very clean & familia place to enjoy your food.

Cresskill Hot Bagels use to be my go to place. Bagels are still good but my disappointment was the sandwich I ordered. They use to have great hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, paninis, and quesadillas. On my last visit, I ordered a Chicken Fajita Panini (listed as a choice on their menu.) What I received was a Chicken Fajita Quesadilla. That would have been OK except the contents in the sandwich were minimal and the quesadilla wasn't cooked. For $13.99 (plus tax,) I expected a decent sandwich. read more

This place SUCKS. The customer is not right here. I have not been here in 8 years because the last 5 sandwiches I ordered were all done wrong. I decided to give them another shot today. I asked for a sandwich and it came out with stuff I didn't want (sauce stuff.) They didn't care. Told me I'm wrong because that's the way they make it. Refused to make another sandwich. Refused to consider refunding me. I got pretty angry in a way I NEVER get. They were rude and did not care at all that I was unhappy with the product. I've never even once had a good experience there. This is why I stopped going there years and years ago. I will officially NEVER give them another shot again. They have my $17 and I'm gonna be late back to work now because I had to go across the street for another sandwich. (BTW, $17 for a not so big sandwich and a soda?) This is my first ever yelp review. I never complain. This place sucks. read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place. I've been several times before and never had a problem. The quality of the food has plummeted. The prices were jacked up (and don't match the menu), and the employees have an attitude. read more

I really enjoyed my bagel. I got a whole wheat bagel with cream cheese and lox. Little expensive but I am assuming that has to do with the location. They had a wide range of bagel choices. read more

Best bagels I've had in nj so far. We wait on line on Sundays for these bagels and it's totally worth it. Better go early because they do sell out of the popular bagels. We also regularly get their tuna and egg salad and they are also good. They do have tables if you want to sit and eat. I always take to go, parking is never an issue and they are pretty quick to service you. Love this place. read more

I grew up in this area during the 60's thru mid 90's, but have lived out of state for 26 years. I was in town visiting my awesome mom, and came upon this bagel & deli store. Man, am I glad I did! The bagels here are large and delicious, with just the right amount of 'snap' to them when you bite in. Nice and chewy on the inside, and a perfect firm texture on the outside. We just don't have bagels like this in the Midwest, or many other parts of the country. If you live in this area, appreciate this fact. There is nothing like a New York or New Jersey bagel! read more

I tried this place 3 times and every single time something is wrong or cooked incorrectly. Even if something is so simple as asking for cream cheese, and getting the wrong type. read more

For an overpriced bagle shop, the service here absolutely sucks! Owners/managers are rude af and that attitude trickles down to their staff. I have been here several times and I will not come here anymore. Enough is enough and I choose to vote with my dollars. It takes forever for them to put your order together, and they don't remember your order because they can't seem to write it down, instead they will keep asking you to repeat your order 6,7,12 times while they are making it. My server lady was focused on her coworker making another client's order instead of paying attention to my order, what she was supposed to be preparing! Like, why are you looking over there when you have priorities to take care of over here? Another time a friend and I bought big sandwiches, and there was still 30 minutes left till closing, and the guy who was counting the money kicked us out while we were in the middle of eating our food at the tables. We may have spent another 10 minutes finishing up, and you couldn't wait for us? He wasn't even finished counting the money in the register. My friend has also decided to boycott this place after that incident. read more

Big is not always better Owners should go into City and learn how to make a bagel I think my initial review may have been too harsh I've been here many times over the past two years when visiting family The bagels are always the same Huge, not crispy on the outside, and too doughy in the middle Bagels should be less than 4 ounces I've never weighed these, but I'm guessing at least 6 ounces Full disclosure--- I owned a bagel bakery many years ago and know a little about making perfect bagels There are many bagel bakeries in the city that make good NY bagels I'm just suggesting that the owners go into the city and taste a NY bagel and go on line to see what makes a perfect bagel read more

I have been going to Cresskill Bagels for my entire life (24 years) and I have never ever been disappointed. Their bagels are huge, soft, and absolutely delicious. Their selection of cream cheeses and salads are excellent and they have great iced coffee. The service is fantastic, especially Kareem, who has served me for years and knows my order by heart. This bagel shop has basically made me the person I am today. read more

Cresskill Hot Bagels - Rye pumpernickel with lox and sundried tomato cream cheese. My favorite! - Bagels Near Me - Cresskill, New Jersey

I used to come here all the time and loved their bagels. I was in town visiting and decided to pick up some bagels. I'll NEVER come back. Lots of other bagel places around the area. The guy who was "helping" me was such a RUDE jerk. Omg. He's telling me NO this NO that and meanwhile I am STARING right at the bagels. They are all in disarray too. The staff is all over the place. Poor management. I just couldn't get over it. You just lost yourself a faithful customer. read more

I recently went to Cresskill Bagel and found some things improved. The everything bagels and sesame bagels are very good if made by the regular bagel maker and so so if made by the "bald dude". The cream cheese is now much thicker on the bagel. read more

Owner/manger is RUDE. He behaved like he's doing YOU a favor. Never smiles. Totally UNPLEASANT. I won't be back. And it's SO EXPENSIVE read more

It saddens me to post my first non-5 star review. But the time has come. 1. Please add more cream cheese. My last bite reminded me of the time I got 20pc nuggets from McDonald's and found out at home they only gave me 2 sauces. Now I always check the bag before I leave. Which leads me to my next point.. 2. Make it mandatory for the staff to double check the order is right before giving it to the customer. It's a simple solution to an awfully common problem. Or at the very least, don't accuse me of giving you the wrong order. I order the same thing every f*ckin' time. 3. The line moves slower than depressed sperm. And I realize if you implement my previous comments, the wait time could be longer. But if you insist on making any improvements, may I suggest moving the credit card machine directly next to the registers. Then throw it out, and replace it with one that doesn't require a signature. 4. Any staff member using the grill should always reconfirm "salt, pepper & ketchup" with the customer. This criticism is actually what sparked my review. It's amazing how many times I've asked for "salt, pepper & ketchup" and never got it. It makes the biggest difference. Sure, you might enjoy an Eminem song on the radio; but without the curse words, you can't appreciate the full body of work. p.s. The lox bagels by the register are delicious. A little overpriced, but my wife loves them so what can I do. Oh, and thanks for always having clean bathrooms. read more

I been coming here for the past 10 years and it's usually always good just very pricy. Today I went in for an egg and cheese and I had a feeling they were going to cheat on the egg and I was right. For the price I feel that I should be getting way more eggs. read more

Extremely popular (as in, usually crowded), with good, if a tad expensive, products. But they take that popularity for granted. This morning they would not honor their own coupon for extra bagels. It couldn't be clearer; on their website header, just click on "coupons." Guy behind the counter starts a spiel that "we mail them..." blah blah, AFTER he requested to see my phone with the site called up and coupons displayed. Nope. Keep that bag o' bagels. Until you either fix the website or honor it, my $ goes elsewhere, to one of the other myriad local choices for fresh bagels. I'm sure they'll miss me just as much as I'll miss them. Jackwagons. read more

Really rude and stingy owner / manager. Would not go back due to the terrible customer service. Employees (of which there were about 12 behind the counter) look like they hate their job. I wouldn't blame them given their boss. read more

I just get here today to buy a bagel with bacon and cheddar cheese cream cheese and it's says in the board 3.99. The guy prepared it and I saw it in my own eyes he threw my sandwich in the garbage can and the lady took it and change the wrap and gave it to me. And she wants to charge me 6.99. She told me the price had change without giving a notice. First of all, if you want to change the price don't advertise the old one. Secondly, don't give the sandwich from the trash that's disgusting. Atleast, apologies and change it. Laslty, please practice proper hygiene. Thank you. read more

Cresskill Hot Bagels - Bagels Near Me - Cresskill, New Jersey

The food is average, expensive, they charge 3.99% fee on EVERY credit card purchase and today was the 3RD time I was left on hold on the phone (for over TEN MINUTES each time) only to be ignored when I call back/no remorse upon arrival to the store. I know for fact the gentleman with the mustache leaves the phone off the hook when I call ( be it 6am or 10am)....This man without fail always has an attitude when I come in...as if I'm annoying him trying to spend $20+ most of the time I order. Eddie on the other hand is an absolute pleasure to place an order with and the only reason I come back sometimes. read more

They were doing curbside delivery and we felt safe picking up our orders. Today my daughter placed a large order so we could freeze bagels as to stay at home as NJ residents are supposed to. She called from outside and they refused to bring her the order insisting she had to come in. In the store customers were lined up within inches of each other! None had any face covers and two meatheads on the line mocked my daughter for being afraid to go into the store. Workers were handling bagels and money with the same gloves on. My daughter was told she could NOT cancel her order when she called from the car. I'm furious she went into that germ filled crappy store. Shame on the two body builders in tank tops on the line laughing at a young woman and For NOT having even a bandanna around their steroid ugly faces. I'm calling the Cresskill Health Department for this store on lack of not practicing Social Distancing and handling money and food. In addition I'll be in touch with the BBB for not allowing my daughter to cancel her order that was supposed to be ready. Allowing workers to handle money and food without gloves is disgusting. To the two weightlifters, I hope no one ever laughs at your younger sister or mom for being cautious of you nonmaskers. We haven't gone to that bagel store again but sure tell the story. Count your change carefully if paying in cash. My husband was shortchanged by seven dollars once and a few times of $10.00 read more
