Ordered: Everything Bagel w Egg, Scallion Cream Cheese, Tomato, and Hash Brown (~$8): toasted & scooped out Aya's take: There are quite a few bagel spots popping up in Hoboken but I wanted to try Hoboken Hot Bagels as it's been around for so long and stood the test of time. Service was shockingly slow considering there was no line. I got an Everything Bagel which, for starters, was way smaller than any other I've had in NJ. The ratio of everything seasoning was also off; there were too many poppy seeds which again, I've never seen before. I asked for it toasted & scooped out, which I'm glad they did but it was overly toasted, not soft, and slightly too crisp. Other than that, they nailed it. The eggs were seasoned, the amount of scallion cream cheese was solid, the tomatoes were fresh, and the hash brown added nice flavor and texture. Price-wise, it's pretty much in line with what you'd get elsewhere but you can get a much better bagel almost anywhere else in Hoboken. It was a decent try but for that reason, I'd prefer other spots when I'm craving a bagel. read more

DO NOT GO HERE AT ALL COSTS! I went here for the first time today and they intentionally shoved a piece of plastic into my egg sandwich. Have truly never experienced anything like this in my life. Will be reporting them to the better business bureau but please go to ANY OTHER bagel shop in Hoboken. When I was in there I also saw them give an order that was returned to them by another customer to different customer. EXTREMELY CONCERNING. I could have easily chipped my tooth on the bagel sandwich that clearly had plastic intentionally put in it read more

Delicious bagels the best in the city maybe the state I recommend you give them a try you won't be disappointed

Service was descent. Tiny place. I ordered everything bagel with plain cream cheese. Bagel was boring cream cheese was cream cheese. Not toasted. I dunno the price. I didn't pay. Friend did. I won't be back. Has to be better bagel option. Parking hard to find. Use the app if you do find street parking $2 for 30 minutes. I only ate half. Blah read more

Hoboken Hot Bagels has been my favorite bagel spot for 10 years now since I first moved to the area. The everything bagel is PERFECTION and the bialy is so good! They can do no wrong. Best bagel in the area, hands down! read more

I never ever ever ever give one-star reviews. On the rare occasion that I do, a place must've REALLY gotten on my bad side. Here's the thing, my biggest pet peeve in the foodie world is a bad bagel. The bagels here are such an abomination that after I ordered and the guy handed it to me, I told him I didn't want it and walked out. First of all, the "bagels," or rather, whatever poor excuse they're selling and calling them bagels, are the equivalent in size to a mini bagel. Take a look in the back, they don't even look freshly made. I can go to the bakery section of Shop Rite and buy a fake bagel that's twice the size and likely tastes better. If you want a bagel in Hoboken, go to JP's. Don't waste your time at this imposter place. read more

Out, about, and in search of a good bagel on a Sunday morning, the girlfriend and I bypassed the usual suspects in Jersey City and took a ride up to Hoboken. Hoboken Hot Bagels is a hole in the wall on Washington that happens to serve up some of Hudson's tastiest bagels. I snagged an everything with whitefish salad (my go to at Wonder Bagel). The bagel was a little better than the usual fare at Wonder Bagel, tasting slightly fresher. Probably not better enough to regularly hop up here when I've got a bagel craving, but it's a solid meal read more

I asked for an everything bagel, toasted with butter. Pretty simple request gone so horribly wrong. After waiting 15 minutes for this I couldn't be more disgusted. So much butter that you'd think it was cream cheese. I asked for it toasted and when I noticed they hadn't toasted it they said "oh it's kinda warm it came out of the oven not too long ago". Again, not what I asked for not to mention it was ice cold due to the 10 lbs of butter. I've been to so many bagel places in New Jersey and this is hands down the worst experience I've had. read more

I'll preface this post with the fact that this was my first time ever having a New Jersey bagel. As an out of towner, I had a great experience in the shop. While it is small, it's nothing I wasn't used to while chasing flavors. The man behind graciously helped me out trying to figure out what sandwich combination would be the best. We settled on the Chicken Salad on an Everything Bagel (which I heard was top class in Hoboken). I'll say I had a great time indulging this sandwich. The dough was soft, and the bagel was jam packed with flavor. Hefty scoops of chicken salad pulled it all together in a salty/creamy experience. A friend recommended this place, and I endorse it as well. read more

Do yourself a favor and do NOT get any egg sandwiches from this shop. Unless you like microwave eggs and rubber like bacon

Best bagels in Hoboken! Whenever I walk in, the bagels are being freshly replenished. The staff is friendly and fast! If you need a quality bagel or sandwich, and you need it fast, this is the place to go. The store setup and atmosphere allows you to get your coffee/drinks and order easily. You can tell the business has been going strong for over 30 years. This is my go-to whenever I need a fresh bagel. I would highly recommend this bagel shop!! read more

Watched her microwave my eggs ... they were gray!! Very upsetting because the bagels are pretty good but the microwaving was a turn off for me. read more

No it's not amazing. I didnt even get food. Yes, owner. I was standing outside for 25 min and couldnt even get inside because you had a full line of customers. Two things wrong here. This is a bagel shop, your food is simple to make, how are they even waiting????? Secondly there's a PANDEMIC going on??? Why do you even allow a tightly packed line to form indoors??? Last i checked you are allowed 25% occupancy and that makes up your entire store (100%) because it's so sad and small. Will never be back. read more

best bagels in hoboken if you think otherwise you are wrong end of story. I refuse to get my bagels anywhere else they're just not as good.

0 stars. Boring bagel. Breakfast sandwich was the worst I've ever had. There's no grill behind the counter so you conveniently can't see them make it. 99% sure it was all microwaved Dunkin style. With the likes of O'Bagel basically next door, Bagels on the Hudson down the block, JPs downtown, and other superiors, there's simply no logical reason to step foot in or near this place. Have some respect for yourself. Go elsewhere. read more

This is a solid bagel place for me... the delivery isn't as long and their bagels are huge! I've been ordering extra bagels and just freeze them for Sunday mornings :) Please note that I get regular whole wheat everything bagels and add my own toppings at home! So this review is purely for the bagels themselves! read more

Yummy bagels and fast service! They were incredibly busy and had all orders correct! Limited seating but we took our order to go and we're worried it wouldn't be correct but it was perfect! read more

Extremely rude staff. I asked for my bagel to be toasted but I was given a burnt bagel. When I asked them to remake it after driving back the second time The lady told me that I would have to pay for it again, so I did. she still gave me attitude and snatched the burnt bagel from me and was really hostile. all I asked was for her to remake the bagel and even paid for it. Terrible place. read more

The most delicious bagels in Hoboken, perhaps my favorite bagels in the world! In fact, on the rumored 2012 doomsday I plan to start my day off with a sesame bagel with cream cheese from this, the most glorious bagel establishment. At least I'll know I've had one of life's little treasures on my last day. The place is a hole in the wall - recently improved with some snazzy new brighter lighting - yup. You heard me... you can see in here now! Perhaps someday there will be a regular crazy light show up in here... at least a girl can dream. The tiny establishment always fills up quickly with a line almost out the door - word to the wise about this line... get in it. Wait. Eventually you will be first and someone will take your order. After you've given your order, step to the left and wait patiently for the same person who took your order to give you your ordered goodness and accept your payment. It's always a bumble-jumble up at the front of the line, especially when you get first-time orderers at the front of the line. Oh, and a personal request to the stroller mafia in Hoboken, please leave your stroller outside. There is no room for your stroller inside. No room at all. All of the bagels are fresh. In fact, they are so fresh that sometimes when you request a toast (not champagne, ok?) they tell you, "umm, m'am those bagels just came out of the oven and are hot. do you really your bagel toasted?" The cream cheeses are also delicious and can be ordered in a tub or on your bagel - the schmears on the bagels are enough for at least two bagels. Y-U-M-M-Y!!! I can't say enough about quality of the bagels. I got a block and a half out of my way to avoid the sub-par bagel joint closer to my house. Oh, and in the warm weather there are tables outside so you can actually sit and enjoy your bagel. BTW, they close at 2:00pm! read more

Hoboken Hot Bagels - Enough cream cheese for 3 bagels. Yum! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Good bagels that are still bagels and not a giant bread roll pretending to be a bagel.

There is always a line out the door here for a reason: best bagels in Hoboken!! And don't worry, the line actually goes very fast. They have an array of beverages on your left when you walk in and a small staggered counter upfront. Bagels are fresh and delicious! Personal fav: everything with cream cheese and lox. Not to be mistaken for nova cream cheese, which is also delicious. I only wish that made their deli salads. Was bummed to see the store bought chicken salad being brought in in the morning. read more

Definitely the best bagels in Hoboken. I wish they were open 24/7 but when they are open there is no other choice. Their are large but not over-sized and they constantly dump in more fresh bagels. There's also a full spread of custom cream cheeses for you to try. I believe this bagel shop is also cheaper than the others and a whole heckuva lot nicer too. Try anything, its all good. -"Frat Boy" read more

In a town that is surprisingly devoid of quality bagels, Hoboken Hot Bagels shall reign supreme. they do it right. Small place that has that bagel stop smell in it which reminds me of Sundays growing up. Service is very fast, and the men and women who work there seem to always be polite and courteous, no matter how many people are there. Bagels taste great and fresh. Plus - they have YooHoo. Great way to start a Sat or Sun. read more

Good, not great. I mean it's a straight forward bagel place. Small, no frills, open limited hours, no parking (except for street, so walk there), and limited seating (3 seats inside, 3-4 tables for two outside when the weather permits). Here's the good news: it's not expensive, they have the best everything bagels in Hoboken (unlike some of the other shops who put 3 sesame seeds and one poppyseed on a plain bagel and call it an everything ‍), their scallion cream cheese is awesome, and their flavored coffees are really good. Here's the bad news: they run out of bagels ALL of the time (literally, and it's so frustrating), so go there as early as it can not only to get what you want, but to get a bagel period. The other thing I wish was different was the toughness of the bagel-it's SO tough, sometimes it's like bawling on stale bread-I don't know how their bagels are this tough sometimes, it astounds me. Anyway-worth the trip, go early, and make sure you walk there! read more

Consistently the bagels fresh in Hoboken!! Go in the morning and you can get them hot. Lox spread is delicious and has big chunks of lox mixed in. All spreads are great and the staff is nice and quick. Sometimes there is a line but it moves quickly and is always worth it. I recommend this place to everyone! read more

Could never understand some folk's fascination with this place. It's mediocre at best. Here's three major - MAJOR - issues with this joint: 1. The bagels are usually "thinner" and harder in texture. This is not a good NY-style bagel. Bagels on the Hudson and JP's bagels are far more superb. I made the mistake of bringing two dozen of their bagels into my office in Manhattan one day and was laughed at by every New Yorker who had one. Many compared the size and texture to frozen bagels. 2. They make all egg breakfast sandwiches in the microwave. They should be given negative stars for this. The resulting sandwich is terrible. TERRIBLE. 3. They run out of the most popular bagels early and won't restock later in the day. Why this is the case is just bizarre. We are talking about making a dozen or two more bagels at pennies cost to them. Why is inventory control so difficult? Not sure if they are losing business after a few new places have opened up but they really need to reinvent themselves. read more

If your in NY you have to try the hot bagels. Well this place was popping so that's why we picked it but in all honesty I was expecting more from just the bagel itself. It was a bit of a letdown that the bagel was subpar. The fixings on the bagel made it all work but I was hoping the bagel was a bit bigger and fluffier. The service is quick so don't be discouraged by the long line outside the shop. It moves pretty fast. The ham deluxe is like two inches of ham. The amigo bagel was tasty but more jalapeño would be better. The coffee was tasty and fresh. Wish we had more time in Hoboken to try more items on the menu. Definitely a local spot on Sundays. read more

Hoboken Hot Bagels is the best bagel store I have ever visited. The only problem with this fine bagel establishment is it's out of the way for me. It saddens me to have to leave my apartment 30 minutes earlier in order to go to what I refer to as "the good bagel shop" in the morning before work. If I'm up REAL early on Saturday I'll walk here for a bagel before my Saturday sandwich at Fiores. The everything with cream cheese is solid and the bagels freeze well for what it's worth. They have just the right amount of crunch and have a ton of "everything" on them. Lots of bagel places skimp on the everything. Not so here, it's truly an everything bagel! I've never had a breakfast sandwich, so I can't say if they are good or not. The coffee is pretty good...but it's pretty tough to mess up coffee. Then again Bagels on the Hudson... read more
