Great service. Owner was nice. Very clean. Bagel was okay. Would come back. They have a lot of variety.

Amazingly poppy bagel with the right amount of spread. Got the veggie spread and it was so yummy. I was worried at first with all the visible veggie chunks but it totally worked. Lovely staff, and they work quick. They also have aot of tables if you wanna dine in. Fyi: cash ONLY read more

No frills bagel shop. However, every time I have gotten a bagel here its been pretty good. I'm usually a cream cheese or cream cheese/butter on a bagel type of girl. They do it right. Located in a shopping plaza. Parking lot in front- can get busy depending on time of day... Price is right. read more

Literally 2 blocks away from so I really wish they were good! Customer service leaves alot to be desired. Bagels are subpar. Amount of cream cheese was minimal even when saying I'd pay extra for more. Tried 3x due to so many LOVING and recommending them but each time seemed worse then the previous. We will continue driving to Bagel House in Lodi. read more

CASH only. They were very nice when I came back with the cash from my car, and knocked off 19 cents from the $3.19 total.

When I walked in, place felt off. After I ordered, gave my cash to the owner who was the cashier, he asked me, "You're not vaccinated?" I'm guessing he asked because he saw I had my mask on. I replied, "No. freedom of choice." He then said, "Oh. Okay." Honestly, for me, this is the first and last time I come here. You can still pass the virus vaccinated and not vaccinated. Learn to respect your customers. Oh. And the bagel I ordered was mid. read more

I ordered a bagel with walnut cream cheese. I got home and it was a different flavored cream cheese. The last time I was there, I was scammed out of $5 change of a $10. Wtf? read more

I call ahead just in case there's a wait line, which varies. By the time I get there, it's either ready or I have to wait for a couple minutes. At the end, they never fail with the quality, and there's a variety of selection of bagels. And it's pretty cheap for 3 sandwiches that you get under $10 (two bac, egg n chz, one cream cheese bagel) . I'll leave extra for tip read more

The waiting is ridiculous I was told 20 mins for 5 bagels turned into 1hr 1/2 unbelievable Won't return read more

I've been going here for years for the last few yrs and the service is getting worse. Today I ordered 2 sandwiches at 9:54 am it wasn't ready to an hr later. With the price increase and this service, I would go elsewhere. read more

This place is my to-go place. The only downside is the fact that they only do cash so if you are a credit card person, you have to go somewhere and get the cash. The only reason I am taking away stars is that I have ordered a day before for a big purchase and paid and everything ahead of time. I understand that I was going to pick it up early, but that is why I called a day before. In the morning when I went to pick it up, the old lady gave me attitude for making such a big order and taking all the bagels that they just made.. It seemed pretty unfair because I did order ahead of time because of that. (I was picking up bagels for my job). She also didn't want to give it to me because she said I didn't pay and in the paper it said nothing about that I paid which is also upsetting. I had to tell her yes I did and give the description of the man who took it. This is where it gets hard because if I paid in card, I could have showed the proof. Another man in the back that saw me the day before came and told her that he saw me yesterday and that I did pay. I spent way longer in that store than I had too. Not to mention everyone around me was looking at me annoyed because I was holding up the line for them as well. The bagels are very good which is the reason why I will keep showing up. read more

If you go here the menu says baker's dozen. You don't get a baker's dozen. You only get 12 instead of 13 a true baker's dozen. The bagels are always fresh. read more

My quest to try every bagel spot in NJ continued here at Garfield Hot Bagels. As always, I give every spot 2 visits before providing a final judgement, but I always give feedback after my first visit. Ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese as they didn't have any wheat bagels left. It was weird since it was pretty early in the morning for them to have run out of them so soon but it wasn't a big deal to me. The bagel I had was alright. Didn't taste days old but also didn't taste fresh from the day. Cream cheese was good and they were generous with the spread. Visit 2 to come soon! read more

Hands down the closest thing to a traditional Jewish bagel in the area. Chewy, a very slight sweetness in the dough, not a "bread-like" texture like 99% of the other bagel shops in the area. I hope the owner has written down his recipe so it can live on in this area for years to come. I work in Manhattan and have been sorely disappointed with most all bagels I've eaten (Essa-a-Bagel is the only place I've encountered with a real bagel). What's going on with the old fashioned bagel recipe? Is it too expensive to add the right density and ingredients? I dunno - I'm just grateful for Garfield Hot Bagels!! read more

So there's no point of calling in a order since they won't start it without you paying for it customer service could be better not a happy customer cash only business be ready to wait half hr or longer for a sandwich read more

Great Bagel Spot... I have been coming here for years the breakfast sandwich and lunch sandwiches are great. I think the bagels are perfect as far as size and texture and the cream cheese selections are fine... Sunday's are crazy so get there early they run low on some of the favorites like cinnamon raisin... read more

The bagels are good BUT....the owner needs to get his butt in there earlier to make the bagels!!! They open up at 6:00 AM but the bagels are not ready until 7:00 AM. Does that make any sense??? The bagels should be ready when the the store opens not a hour later. read more

In my opinion, this place makes the greatest Taylor ham, egg, and cheese in Bergen County. Everything about this sandwich is perfect. Nicely fried, thick slices of Taylor ham along with perfectly cooked eggs and melted slices of cheese all dance together in perfect splendor, creating a masterpiece of a sandwich. I'm impressed by the consistency of the service too - the sandwich is perfect every single time I order it. The pictures speak for themselves, although they do not do any justice to the incredible experience of eating a Taylor ham, egg and cheese at Garfield Hot Bagels. read more

I got a nova lox on an everything bagel with red onions and tomatoes. This is a new found obsession. I just had the same for the first time in NYC and comparing to that one I loved this one better. They don't put too much cream cheese which worried me that I wouldn't like the balance of my sandwich but it was great. The bagel was chewy on the inside which I love. Service was also great! I hope to come back to this spot very soon. read more

I ordered ahead and when I got home and opened the bag, my bagel was burnt to a crisp. They did replace it, however, when I went back I ordered bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel. I asked for a certain bagel and didn't get it but I was ok with that. Then she put the cheese on the top of the bagel and added salt and pepper on the cheese. Then she put the ketchup on top of the cheese and when she squirted it out it was watery and hardly any actual ketchup came out. I dismissed that and asked for more ketchup. She quickly packaged up the bagel, tossed it on the counter and said I'll give you packets. I walked away and told my mom to get my money back. Got a refund and left, never again and I was eating here every morning for months! read more

Garfield Hot Bagels - a bagel with a bite taken out of it - Bagels Near Me - Garfield, New Jersey

I had a terrible experience with the owner and I ordered here for over two months straight every single weekend and today all of a sudden the owner wants to tell me that they never delivered to my house when I in fact have ordered multiple times with delivery. The owner also hung up the phone on me after I had a conversation he told me to come to his store so we can have a better conversation and deal with it if I love to eat there so much. I've never had an experience like this that restaurant food is so good but the owner is such a jack ass. read more

Best bagel place in Bergen county. Always hot and fresh, they make it perfect every time

The bagels are the best around and at a great price. I understand what people are saying about customer service but it's really not that big of a deal if you're in there for 10 minutes max. If you're just patient and wait for your turn, it's a great experience. read more

Terrible place. The owner and workers are rude. Also who doesn't accept cards in 2020?!

3.5 stars. Pretty good bagels, efficient staff. My BECH was pretty good, but the egg and bacon were way overcooked (picture something cooked to the point where nobody could possibly complain that it was undercooked, then leave it on the grill for another minute). The bacon was delicious though - flavorful, smoky and just salty enough. The everything bagel was really flavorful, although maybe a bit chewy. I went in on a Saturday morning, and they weren't that busy. The girl who helped me was not rude or anything, she was just... sour. A man behind the counter, whom I believe was the owner, was completely engrossed in a conversation with a man who I assume was a customer, talking rather rudely about people I might add. The customer then went behind the counter... not sure how I feel about that. The place itself is dingy, but not unclean. Good parking, good selection of beverages in the cooler. They didn't post prices for breakfast sandwiches. Upshot: I'd go back if passing by, but wouldn't go out of my way. I may go back on Matt S.'s recommendation and check out the lox though - hard to find in the area. read more

Is there 0 rating available? That's what they deserve. Won't be subjected to that again. Horrible service. They served 6 wrong orders while I was waiting for a called in order that took 40 minutes! Rude, incompetent staff. Dingy. Try Bagel House Lodi or Bagel Brunch Passaic for yummy food & actual service. read more

Great bagels! There are none in VA where I live, so it was really nice to get some authentic bagels! They take cash only though. So remember that. But QuickCheck, 3 stores down, has an ATM. Husband thought they should post their whole menu, every time we'd go in, the people ordering before and after us were ordering sandwiches with eggs/bacon...other stuff that is not visible on their small menu that they display on their wall! read more

Just moved into town and this is now our go to breakfast spot. They've been open throughout the quarantine so we've been visiting every morning. Prices are totally reasonable and the food is awesome. Definitely recommend everyone to try this. read more

Hands down, the best bagels anywhere! I stop and pick up a dozen occasionally and take them to work in NYC, the bagel capital, and everyone always says they are the best bagels they've ever tasted. Always fresh and they taste just as good toasted the next day. Just wish they would open another location on the north side of Garfield. read more

No better bagel around. Many different styles. They will also make hot sandwiches for you. Best tasting coffee and the prices are reasonable. The place is always busy and all food and bagels are made fresh daily. Please note: not kosher or halal. read more

Wow!! These are great bagels; the best that we have ever had. We even skipped dinner and had a bagel from the back of the car while traveling home. Everyone we encountered were friendly and knew the regular customers by name. We will definitely be back. Hope to be a regular customer when we are in town! read more

Amazing bagels have been going there everyday now for years! Great prices too! I Definitely recommend this place!

Just moved to the area. First time I went waited 35 min for Taylor, egg, and cheese and a bacon egg and cheese. Today I decided to call in the order. No sense in doing that 45 min later I got my sandwiches. Taylor and the other was lox which was poorly made and thrown together in 30 seconds. If you're willing to wait they're mediocre at best sandwiches. read more

I absolutely love this bagel shop, the bagels are always fresh out of the oven and perfectly soft. I usually get taylor ham egg and cheese and its always delicious. Things to improve upon: 1. NEED to get a credit card machine (its 2015, i don't want to have to get an ATM fee every time I want a bagel) 2. Stop making bagels so early. Bagels (especially plain) are always out of stock well before closing. It would be nice if I didn't have to settle on a bagel I don't really like to eat for breakfast read more
