Old downtown Bristol Borough is one of my favorite places in Bucks County. Pre-Revolutionary, the…read moreDelaware River, Mill Street stroll, and Radcliffe Street all add to make for a great place for a hours long exploration if your can't afford a riverfront home. Now adding to the enjoyment is The Bagel Joint housed in what used to be the old pharmacy and thereafter sewing shop at #257. Most of the original woodwork and medicinal draws are still there. A few days after the snow of the decade the drifts and plowed piles of graying white made parking problematic, but I managed to back into a shallow spot right across the street. Walking in, the morning sun through the large windows made the room bright and cheery. Mike was behind the counter and greeted me heartily. He let me know that there was a special breakfast deal - meat, egg and cheese of choice, plus tater tots for the price of the sandwich alone. I couldn't resist. Cooper Sharp Cheddar, please, on Onion Bagel. To go. It was all still warm when I reached the office; so I settled in at my desk to chow down before getting to work. It was all very good and filled me quickly. The tots were more than I could finish. The transport had taken the crispness from the bagel and taters, but the flavor was there. Given my self imposed delay in eating right from the grill, I can't be sure that the bagels went though the boil/bake cycle, although I read in another review that they were produced offsite and flash frozen, rather than made onsite. I will leave that discovery to someone else. For me, I was satisfied with my breakfast and would return when time and circumstance permit. 4 Bristol charm Stars for The Bagel Joint.

I loved all the vintage photos of the borough they had up and the original drugstore woodwork on the walls. The guy who helped me was friendly and patient. He loved talking shop. Although he tried to talk me into having their "Slack Attack" sandwich - pork roll, bacon, sausage, ham & egg with choice of cheese and bread (good lord that's a lot of meat!!), I settled for a sausage, egg and cheese on a pumpernickel bagel. Their bagels are baked and flash frozen by Pretzelworks off Oxford Ave in Philly. The sandwich was a good size and had good flavors (they forgot my hot sauce request) and a light kick from the sausage patty. The bagel had typical rye pumpernickel flavor, and a balanced portion of cheese, egg and meat. If you like a bagel that's dense with a bit of a chewiness you'll enjoy theirs. I think they wanted around $6.50 to $7.00 for the sandwich which was fair. I didn't try the coffee, but it smelled good. I'd definitely return if I'm in the area and when it's warmer! Thanks guys!

Still on the hunt for the perfect bagel in South Jersey and decided to try The Bagel Zone. The bagels were a 4, better than any of the other bagels I've had in the area, and there was a nice variety too, but the customer service and the coffee were a 2. There was literally no customer service and I wound up throwing my coffee out because it was just that bad. I'm not sure if I'll give them another try ...

They really don't have the texture, flavor or feel of a truly good bagel. Their pricing is more than fair, allowing you to get a higher quality grab and go sandwich than the fast food drive thru. Their "bigger" sandwiches would be better with an added egg to match the generous portions of meats and other fillings. My main source of discontent was with the hot water to make my tea. As a vertically challenged individual (barely 5'1") the port for the hot water was high at the very top of the coffee machines. This is an accident waiting to happen. If customers are expected to help themselves. The equipment should be designed to be accessible to everyone. Pros: Quick reasonably priced breakfast spot. Friendly staff. Clean.

The bagel was dense and fresh, but it was greasy on the outside. The hot sausage was ok, plenty of egg and cheese made it a sizeable overflowing portion. I just wish it wasn't so greasy. Second trip was a jalapeno and cheddar bagel with jalapeno and cheddar cream cheese. Again the bagel was greasy on the outside. Dense and fresh. The cream cheese and bagel both had little to no spicy kick. I wasn't blown away by either offering honestly. I had their "High Mountain" coffee on both visits (Hazelnut blend on one visit). It was standard java nothing bad, nothing great. The inside is a bit dated, but still inviting. There were plenty of people coming in and out so it seems like a neighborhood staple. Staff was friendly and prompt with service. The bathroom was clean. Bagels are OK to Good for my liking, they get four stars for having a good eating area, nice staff and a clean bathroom.
