I've given Dead End Bakery multiple chances, but every visit has been disappointing. My order is almost always wrong. The bagels aren't toasted, the meat has been undercooked, and they somehow mess up my coffee every time. The worst experience was when I waited an hour and a half for my order, and after politely asking about it, an employee told me, "It's just a bagel, relax." Today was the last chance. I ended up throwing away my full coffee because it was made wrong again. I won't be coming back. read more

Me and my boyfriend went to the Ocean City nj boardwalk yesterday. And I was feeling a little hungry. But also a bit dehydrated. One of the employees there. Ordered me water with ice. And told me that I should stay hydrated. Especially in the heat . Which I agreed with 100 percent. Because it was so hot and very humid yesterday. Her name was Cadence. She was very nice and kind. She provided excellent customer service. And she made my day better. I just wanted to recognize her . Because I have worked as a cashier and in food service in the past. And she deserves to be recognized. Because she was patient kind. So thank you cadence. I will definitely be back again. read more

Hello dear Ocnj visitors and locals. I write to you under poor circumstances this morning. I do not recommend Dead End Bakehouse. Not only are there an absurd number of flies here, there are legitimately multiple species of flies in the restaurant. They failed to toast my friend's bagel. On my other friend's bagel they cut the top half but did not cut the bottom half. There were no napkins in the napkin holder- any of them. I once again cannot stress how many flies there were. Also, the bagels taste like bread. Took an absurd amount of time for my bagel to be made so I was forced to sit in the fly cesspool for much longer than I wanted. Order 1 rating: 4/10 Order 2 rating: 2/10 Order 3 rating: 7/10 Order 4 (me) rating: 7/10 read more

Ordered a cheesesteak bagel on a cheddar bagel and a turkey club on a plain bagel. Waited for both and one was delayed. The cashier kindly provided us with pastries on the house. Both sandwiches were filling and delicious. The restaurant is bright and familiar. We have been multiple times and will continue to visit this location! Thank you Dead End Bagel read more

Nothing like a fresh hot bagel in the morning. Dead end makes a good bagel but they over do it with the toppings. I got a poppyseed bagel which was almost black looking there were so many poppyseeds. And when cutting out the countertop was covered, sometimes less is better. read more

Ordered two lox it ups-one without onion, both scooped and toasted. Neither was toasted, both had no onions or capers, the amount of lox and cream cheese was pathetic. All for $32. read more

Went to this place with my friends and ordered online. Everyone got their bagels within 15 minutes, took them about 45-50 to get mine out. I took a few bites when I had the urge to deconstruct my bagel, don't ask. When I did I FOUND PLASTIC IN MY BAGEL. Like genuinely what is wrong with this place. Not to mention, my bagel was a little raw...... read more

Amazing that they were open the day after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately they were running out of bagels quickly this morning and the poor girls working alone had a lot of orders to fill. But we were in no rush so we waited. Keep in mind this may not be a quick stop if they are understaffed. Overall my bagel was amazing. I love how much I could customize it. It was a bit expensive so I wouldn't do it all the time but I was a nice breakfast treat with family. Highly recommend getting their sourdough loaf to go. We sat out front and enjoyed the sunshine as we ate. read more

Agreed with others the order was totally messed up. They don't toast the bagels and who eats a raw bagel with cold cream cheese. Everyone saying the same thing. Missing items in the order and the hot latte was cold. Muffins don't taste good. Bagel sandwiches aren't good. Can't say anything was good. read more

If you don't order ahead, your day will be a dead end. We waited 45 minutes for two bagel sandwiches... In December. It was 34° out. The bagels and the breakfast sandwiches are terrific, but plan ahead! The ordering system on toast is great. You can just do Apple Pay. Don't believe the wait time, double it. The bagels really are delicious and the sandwiches are great. I just can't give five stars because the operations here is a disaster. read more

My favorite bagels in Ocean City! I'm a big fan of the HMRX group and their signature colorful nostalgic eateries. Dead End Bakehouse is no exception!! My favorite parts: the pastries, doughy bagels, generous spreads, and delicious coffee My critiques: there's always a wait when you order in-store (this can be avoided by ordering online before you arrive), and parking around 10th and Bay isn't the best. Dead End is one of my favorite spots for grab and go breakfast and pastries. It's close to the 9th street bridge, open year round, and the food is delicious. I'd highly recommend if you're looking for a quick bite in the morning! read more

Went for bagels recently, right when they opened. Got cin raisen with butter, not toasted. Very doughy, not cooked enough, not good at all. Somers Point Hot bagels 100x better. I do not recommend these bagels. read more

Disappointed in DE on Sunday June 28th early morning. Bagels weren't fresh as I remember - were similar to day olds. usually would give a 5 star. read more

Stopped in before hitting the 1st beach trip of the year. Usually go to Bennie's but decided to change up to this nicely named place. Couple of bagel sammies which both were stacked high and very filling. One had egg/cheddar/pork roll w/ roasted tomato schemer on a cheddar bagel. The other was egg/cheddar/avocado on a everything So damn good for the beach. read more

We waited 50 minutes for bagels we never got. After 30 minutes of waiting we asked about our food. The girl at the front reprinted the ticket. After about 20 minutes we still had no food. We asked for a refund and left. Very disappointing. read more

I came here with my friends on a Monday morning and we all ordered a bagel me and two of my other friends got bagel sandwiches and they came out within like 15 minutes. But my other friend's bagel was a toasted bagel with a spread, and it took them 40 minutes and me saying something for them to give us a bagel. I checked my top bagel when I got it to make sure it was right and then I get in my car and open my bagel and they messed up my order. While, I stood there for 40 minutes they said nothing to me and multiple people who ordered after us got their orders and they continued to let us just stand there. I could've been on the beach for the last hour, but instead, I spent it standing inside a bagel shop for 40 minutes waiting for a bagel with a spread. read more

This place sucks as bad as my ex wife. I ordered delivery from here through an app. The couldn't make the ricotta honey toast so instead the gave us Nutella banana on an untoasted bagel. They also forgot to provide the half dozen bagels I ordered but remembered the cream cheese. read more

This place needs to figure their sh*t out. They have the slowest service on the island for a single sandwich. NEVER order here if you're in a rush somewhere it took us over 35 minutes for just 2 sandwiches. To make matters worse, when we got our order, we were in such a rush to leave since we were so late to where we had to be that when we checked our order it was COMPLETELY wrong. I'll never make the mistake of coming back here again. read more

Used to go here a few times during the summer during my years in OC. Unfortunately, a few months ago they decided to post a customer in a "Trump was right about everything" hat and continued to stand by it and mock people who expressed that it was wrong. They even still have it up on their instagram and I've attached below. I hope you understand what values they have and make better choices picking where to eat. There's a lot better places that align with the good values of morality than this, that's for sure. Not to mention, they are always slow and their bagels really aren't that great. read more

Do not come here unless you want to spend the whole day here. Orders messed up left and right and takes forever x10000 to get bagel sandwiches read more

Horrible service. They forgot 2 of our 4 bagels, and we waited around 45 minutes. The bagels taste good, but the wait time is unbelievable and the cashier was incredibly rude. read more

I will never go back here.... Absolutely pathetic. Dunkin Donuts has a better operation than Dead End Bakehouse. Every time I come here they mess up the order and simply lack quality. read more

Great food I had from somerspoint place so I wanted to try this location. Crazy long waits. We ordered in person and from when card was swiped to walking out door it was 35 minutes. I was wish a friend who ordered right after me and they got their food at that 35 minute mark so mine is defiantly cold by time we left. I guess they are prioritizing mobile orders? They might need a few more staff to help speed up process. Not a good first impression of this place. read more

This local gem is amazing! Staff is super sweet. We had bagels (way better texture than hot bagels), cookies (huge and delicious), and scones that were crispy on the edges. Go and visit this local business! Everything was freshly made from scratch. read more

Whether there's one person in front of you or 10 you'll be waiting until your food is cold.

Very disappointed and bummed! It is such a cute spot. I wanted to love it. I ordered an avocado BLT on a bagel and added an egg. When I got home, they had not added the egg (an extra $3 on top of $12 for the sandwich) . The lettuce was brown and disgusting (see pics), the avocado was brown, and there was no flavor. :( read more

Heard so much good about this place, we were disappointed. Half dozen bagels over $14, you decide, I think this is very expensive. Was hungry so got one cinnamon raisin to eat right away. Pretty much a tasteless bagel. Needed to be sweeter and nowhere near enough raisins. The other five bagels are sesame. Absolutely tasteless bagels, just round bread. No criso crust and soft yeasty insides. Just flat and tasteless. Go to Hot Bagels and More, a dozen bagels are $18 and they are bigger and much better. read more

Inside seems like it hasn't been cleaned all summer. Smells strange and looks worse. Staff is not friendly.

terrible service. took and hour to get our bagels. they came out awful. would not reccomend if you have other options.

Takes awhile for food to be ready so order online but usually it's always worth it. The portion size has definitely gone down which is disappointing. The sausage was way too small and I don't eat egg so it was not worth $9. read more

Overpriced, undercooked, unprofessional. Go to Yiannis or NY cafe and grille for bagels instead.

Aptly named, this is a "dead-end" for quality and service. You'll likely go here anyway because you've rented a place around the corner and don't feel like walking an extra block to a higher quality place - but you should really think twice about skipping the "dead end." Teenagers are dismissive and disinterested by nature, but the dead-end staff seems to lower the bar even farther. They really don't care - what you've ordered, how long you've waited - really about anything. And they make sure you know it!! The terrible service pairs well with the substandard food. The one thing the café of miserable teens was able to do is screw up a bacon, egg, and cheese. That is an accomplishment! They got the bacon and cheese, but somehow missed the cheese (partial credit?). See photo. It was served on untoasted limp bread. read more

Never again. I almost fell over when the employee told me $17.06 for 6 bagels and they're not sliced either. Not to mention, the inventory was low, so we had to get two of each instead of 6 different bagels. Never, ever again will I buy bagels here, even if they're the absolutely best bagels I've ever had in my life. What an absolute rip off. I guess they're trying to offset the high rent of their new location on the boardwalk. Such a shame. read more

One of the best bagels you can get on the jersey shore. I get a bagel almost every morning I'm here (sometimes 2). They don't skimp on the portions at all - you get 2 eggs on a big bagel and the bacon is thick cut! Variety of different bagel and cream cheese options. Don't forget to try their sandwich options along with their stuffed bagels and pizza bread. Order early because this place is popular! read more
