    Howard's Bagels
    Anton K.

    Large, Plump, Chewy and Delicious Bagels! They offer a variety of bagels to choose from maybe 12+. I have had the Everything, Sesame Seed, Poppy and Cinnamon Raisin. The bagels are $.95. I've been going here since they opened a few years ago and the consistency of the product is outstanding. The store is very clean and the salads and spreads behind the glass cabinets look fresh and inviting, a must in my opinion. I also like the fact that they open at 5:30 am. I am an early riser and sometimes I need to get to work real early. They also have a well supplied self serve coffee station. No complaints about the coffee. They have a small but nice seating area near the front window which happens to catch the morning sun. It's a nice and uplifting way to start your morning.The building is part of a very structurally pleasing strip mall with a huge private parking lot. My complaint and thus why no 5 stars, there is no separate line for those that wish to buy only bagels and those who want breakfast sandwiches, salads, Boars Head products pastries and cookies, etc. I think it creates confusion and unnecessary waiting lines.

    Discovered this place driving to Boonton. Glad I did. The bagels are always fresh and made all day long. I used to get a bagel with butter but graduated to a Taylor ham egg and cheese on a sesame bagel. I've had the omelet with home fries and toast but it's so much (4 eggs). I e had a sandwich which was also very good. Their coffee is fresh and doesn't give me heartburn after. They have homemade danishes and their homemade crumb cake is the bomb. I've had the regular, the raspberry, the chocolate and apple caramel crumb cake. They are hidden in a mini mall with a bank, hair salon liquor store and Italian restaurant. It is family run and they are very friendly. They are very easy to miss. Keep an eye out for them and stop if you're in the area. They will not disappoint. I highly recommend. I'm a regular here.

    I was in the area meeting with some vendors for my wedding and wanted to pick up bagels to bring back to New Orleans with me. I decided to stop by Howard's given the great reviews and was not disappointed! I ordered an egg bagel with egg whites and cheese. The bagel was big, doughy and delicious! The eggs were cooked well and not watery. Most importantly, my cheese was melted-one of my biggest pet peeves is when the cheese on my egg sandwiches isn't melted (first world problems), but this was perfect. In addition to my sandwich, I ordered three dozen bagels to bring back for my fiancé's staff, and they were a hit! My fiancé actually ate two of them (not going to lie, I snuck one out of the bag later on and ate another one too). The service was also quick and friendly! I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again

    The bagels are great! Crisp outside and fluffy doughy inside. I love the strawberry cream cheese! The wraps are awesome too! Great for party platters! Great little spot to frequent for breakfast or lunch the people there are also SUPER friendly! Will def be a spot I go to often

Her cousin, Tiramisu in a cup stole the show, though. 5/5 if I hadn't had her cousin. - Tiramisu cup - 5/5 stars. You are treated to a masterpiece. The mascarpone, the shot of coffee, the sweetness of the creame all play exquisitely well together. - Fruit Tart - 4/5 stars. Fresh berries were ripe and sweet. The crust was not soggy, at all. The custard was smooth and exceptional. - Creme Brulee - 4.5/5 stars. Not overly sweet and pure bliss. The top lager of touched crust, didn't hold up to the travel, sadly. It was soft but still delightful. - Custard cup - 4.5/5 stars. This reminded me of a Portuguese egg tart but better. - Giant horn - 5/5 stars. The outside crust was flaky and perfect. The inside filling was the perfect balance as it was silky smooth and delightful. Not overly sweet which pairs perfectly with coffee or tea. Stop reading this review and go get your edible delights.

They brought with them the best of mostly southern Italian and Sicilian pastries, cakes, and cookies. These delicacies all share a mixed past, some equally as French as they are Italian, and others showing Arabic-Sicilian influence. Many of the items continue to be made in the Italian tradition, while others have morphed into something uniquely Italian-American. Located off 46 East in Fairfield, this family-owned and operated establishment, founded in 1962, is one of our favorites for sweet desserts and Italian pastries. Upon arriving on this Christmas Day at Calandra's Italian and French Bakery, a steady stream of patrons entered its door to an interior space big and nicely designed, awaiting their turns on several available lines. On display in their numerous cases, there were cookies to cannolis, an assortment of cookies, pies, cakes, custom cakes, jarred sauces, and homemade pasta. I decided on a coconut custard pie, a pecan pie, and several pasteis de nata. Everything was so good and simply amazing, with a variety of freshly baked goods that cater to all tastes, especially the pasteis, just how the bakeries in Newark's Ironbound district make them. Will definitely be returning here for the next event.

Theres a lot of ways to approach the situation and the way this old guy handled it, was not it. He thinks he's some sort of marshall and has no concept of how to talk to people even though he's dealt with the community for years. If you want to try bringing in your stuff, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. Im sure their overall service is good but he needs a complete attitude adjustment or retire.
