I love me a good Jersey bagel! We made an unexpected visit to Deli on a Bagel Cafe around 11 AM and it was BUSY. There were a couple tables open, and several customers walking in for to-go orders back to back. All the bagel sandwiches coming out from the kitchen looked amazing. I ordered an Asiago bagel with vegetable cream cheese. I asked for it toasted and it was lightly toasted and loaded with cream cheese. I haven't eaten a bagel like this in a while. The cashier was friendly and repeated our order back to us. It took about 15 mins for 3 bagel sandwiches and 1 toasted bagel to be ready. They have a wide selection of bottled drinks at the front and it appears you can get cold cuts from the deli area as well. read more

Baked goods aren't fresh, the staff is rude, and the management is inept. Better customer service would have spared them this review. Hopefully, they treat this as a learning experience. read more

I've tried this place now the 3rd and last time. (I left room for a bad day and try again, Sure sometimes things are busy in a kitchen and mistakes happen). I ordered a breakfast sandwich with a hash brown in it. hard as a rock over cooked.. again. I ordered a cinnamon roll which was dry and stale and came with a side of ranch instead of icing. How? Really not the way I was hoping to start my day. read more

Love the food and amazing service. If you see katie there make sure to tip her. She's great!! read more

Awful service, waited 25 minutes for a walk in order. Staff laughed when I asked why other walk in orders were coming out before mine. On top of that, they got the order wrong. read more

Their eggs aren't that nasty pre made and their bacon is unreal! Best bagel sandwich you can get in the area by far!!! Love their French toast bagel & blueberry as well! read more

This place is a mess. Every time I order from here I end up waiting at least 25 to 20 minutes. Today Sunday, 13 there's 5 people behind the counter and they look dumb founded. My order of three items including a drink shouldn't take 30 minutes to be prepared. They need to have at least two people working on the online orders. What a mess. Never aga read more

Second time here and ordered toasted bagel with lox. There's no taste on the lox, had better ones in NY.

My experience is why Yelp is helpful. Came in for the first time and it was crowded like most bagel joints are on a Saturday morning. Made my simple order of a BEC and an untoasted chocolate bagel. After I made my order, the guy behind the counter said 25 mins after I paid. Should have said that before for a very simple order. Waited 30 mins. Everyone customer in the joint was pissed with service. Finally got order and they gave me the wrong untoasted bagel. Had to walk back in and tell them. Register guy acted annoyed and took back the wrong bagel that I had already handler and tossed it back into the bin with his money touching hands. Issue with this place is ownership/management. Totally manger incorrectly. Will never go back and recommend others avoid. read more

They can't get an order right. Ordered a pastrami sandwich i got a cheesesteak on the instead. ordered a western omelette on a roll they charged me for a western omelette platter and gave me a sandwich with home fries on the side (no wonder it was $12!) food also takes a long time to come out of they are busy or not. n read more

What a wonderful business all around! Delicious, fresh food served in a courteous and welcoming way, making every guest feel valued! This is a place I go out of my way to visit when I am in NJ. read more

This place is so good! I really enjoyed my turkey bacon egg and cheese on an egg everything bagel - it was clearly very fresh and delicious. Our food came out quickly and the staff were awesome! I will definitely be back soon! read more

I don't know what took us so long to find this place. We never went past Penn bagel, & now I think we found a new spot and actually got way more food for wayyy less. We got one western omelette, chorizo burrito, 2 orders of home fries came with it, I got a bagel with cream cheese and 2 bottle drinks. It's so much food too. I'll be back! You can make your own juice, they pancakes and french toast & literally just so much stuff for your perfect morning. You can sit in and eat too if you like. It's not crowded and it's a gem. read more

Great food and service I order from here atleast 4/5 times a month! Their bagels are delicious and their menu offers a lot of Options!

Loved the vibe and ambiance'! Music was fun while I waited for my order, reasonably priced as well! They had a large array of different cream cheese spreads too. I am new to the area but will definetly return read more

Very cozy shop! And a variety of fresh bagels. Just wish they stood open a bit later but overall I love this place!

Asked for extra toasted, they decided to give me extra burnt and chared instead. I always ask for extra toasted whatever bagel shop I go to and usually they have a bit more sense than to give me a completely black burnt bagel. read more

Deli On A Bagel Cafe - Burnt bagel - Bagels Near Me - Pennington, New Jersey

I ordered online and have food allergies. It's my own fault, ultimately, that I did not call to ask for the ingredients of what I was buying. I trusted the online ordering system that had a box to check if you wanted a call if your items did not match your food allergies, which I listed as no gluten and no dairy. I was not called and received a product made entirely of cheese. I think the check box should not be on the ordering system. The manager called me to tell me how it was all my fault and I should do better at calling and checking, since they haven't had a complaint in the ten years they have served those bagels. I think that is a strange form of customer shaming, when all I was asking for was that the employees know what is in the products, or they take the check box saying they will call you off the ordering. Talk about epically unfortunate customer service experience. read more

I ordered a breakfast delivery for a friend's family. Not only did the Deli not deliver because "the delivery guy didn't show up," but nobody called either me or the recipient to let them know. My friend had to go pick up the order and received free coffee as an apology, but really I would never use this restaurant again. I have heard that the food is good, but the service is deplorable. read more

Been to this place two times in two weeks and same #2 breakfast sandwich was excellent both times--best breakfast sandwich I've ever had hands down. Everything tastes fresh and the secret as best I can tell is the combination of ingredients: sausage, crushed bacon pcs. Scrambled eggs and Swiss AND the addition of a hash brown--I think that's the key. It's extremely filling as well. Very satiating. I've ordered online and picked up and no issues. Good folks and amazing food--I will go back. Excellent drip coffee as well read more

Think this went under new ownership again- it's just ok now. They really skimp on the meat in sandwiches. If there were other options around, I'd go there. Too expensive for what is offered. read more

I really don't know how to describe my experience here. This was an impulsive quick lunch decision and as I entered I thought to myself that I may be discovering a nice place close to work I will be coming back to, more often. This is a casual cafe serving all day breakfast, sandwiches and coffee, bagels being there core strength I believe. Since it was lunch time I went with a grilled chicken smothered sandwich that comes with sautéed onions and mushrooms, and of course cheese. My sandwich was served exactly in 5 minutes, devoid of any flavor! Just a large piece of grilled chicken sitting in a Kaiser roll, along with some wilted onions & mushrooms. I'm very sure the onions and mushrooms were not freshly sautéed for the order, and the chicken was pre-grilled. Basically they put together everything and served it (probably heated up the fillings on a griddle). My meal in a line - Absolutely bland, no hint of any seasoning. Service was equally dull and uninterested. Sorry guys not coming back. read more

Randomly stopped here, and it was PACKED on a Sunday morning. Even with this, I got my bagel in a few minutes. Great service, and an even better bagel. Will definitely be back. read more

The location is good, layout is good. Flipside, the order times are long, my order was delayed and incorrect even when using the online order option. The staff is helpful. That back kitchen /chef/ system needs much help/ support/ etc. Of what was correct in my order, the food was good. Gotta get the order times way up to speed and accurate to get me back. read more

Really delicious bagels and cream cheese! Nice ambiance as well when I stopped in. The staff was friendly but know that it can take a while to get your food. It was worth the wait for some great bagels though -- would definitely recommend if you have the time to wait! read more

Clearly staffing is a problem here, although food is very good once you get it. I waited 30+ min for a panini during lunch hour. Suggest ordering online so you're comfortable elsewhere while waiting for your order. read more

Friendly service, good food ... what more can you ask for?! I believe this deli is under new management now. Swung by for lunch & will most definitely come again. Service was amazing; practically like family! Food is beyond DELICIOUS. Got myself the homemade avocado fries with spicy aioli sauce on the side. Was the perfect amount of crunch & avocado! Most definitely recommend! read more

The bagels are LEGIT (I guess to be expected when 2 guys from Queens bring in their NY bagel game)! I'd never been here previous to the new ownership so can't compare but it's a spacious, nice ambience, a great, diverse menu (we tried the BALT and grilled chicken panini too - both delicious, flavorful, non-soggy and fresh), and beyond all else, the friendliest owners and customer service. This will be a regular go-to for us! read more

This is now in my top 3 for bagel spots. The bagels and breakfast sandwiches are truly delicious!

The folks at Deli (Abe and team) are incredible. They are caring and attentive and do an awesome job each and every day. They get to know their customers and always greet you with a smile. They remember their clients even when you call ahead simply based on the order..."is this for Mark?". When my father passed away and we had the post funeral gathering at our home we gave Abe and team the code to the door, they set up everything for us while we were at the cemetery and it was amazing both the dairy and bagels tray and the deli arrangement were perfect. They were so caring and kind I cannot thank them enough. Pricing was very reasonable also. You cannot go wrong with Deli on a Bagel and this team. Oh the food is great also LOL read more

This place screws up my orders *every single time* Oh you asked for a sesame bagel with butter? Here's everything with cream cheese! You ordered an omelet? Surprise! Pancakes! Called in an order to pickup? No worries, they'll start it five minutes after you arrive for pickup. I generously gave two stars because the food is decent, but have a wide pallet because you never know what you'll be bringing home. read more

Favorite breakfast place. Bacon egg and cheese bagel is perfectly made. Large bagels usually get mine scooped out. Usually order door dash and when items aren't available the staff replacements are perfect. Very clean upscale vibes. read more

Great customer service, quality food and ingredients. Highly recommended, best bagel spot in the area

Got a bagel sandwich delivered the way it came was remarkable. Clean, neat and tasty . Good place

I ordered a bagel and hash browns with my friend and the food was great! service was kinda slow, but that's understandable for a Sunday morning; they were getting calls and doordash orders non stop. Overall, I would come here again and try something new. read more

First time coming in for lunch and was so lovely to find such a gem in Pennington. Got a fresh squeezed juice while I waited for my two sandwiches and it was so fresh and delicious (carrot, celery, cucumber, apple). Ordered the balsamic chicken and the crispy chicken sandwich which my husband and I shared - both were delicious with quality ingredients. Moreover, all the staff were so friendly - immediately noticed that when I entered and while ordering - especially patient with me as I was trying to figure out the vast menu. Ended up speaking with Jimmy one of the co-owners/managers and will certainly return because you can tell they really care and offer quality food. The comfy chairs were a nice touch and only when I exited I realized they have awesome outdoor seating - next time will be sure to enjoy some bagels outdoors. Can't wait for their sister restaurant to open in Lawrenceville as well! read more

we ordered lunch here via Door Dash on a Sunday afternoon and they accidentally left out a sandwich. I called (unfortunately it was a half hour before they closed) and the sandwich was still there. they offered to drive it to my house, even though DoorDash had delivered it, and gave us half a dozen complimentary bagels. this was our first time ordering here and not only was the food very good, this type of service is so hard to come across these days. this will now be my go to bagel and sandwich place!! read more
