Great local bagel place. The only downside is that the parking is tough on a weekend morning.

Visiting from Boston and stopped in for the first time--hands down the BEST bagels I've had. I picked up a dozen bagels, a breakfast sandwich, and a coffee to go. The bagels were perfect: crisp and firm on the outside, moist and chewy on the inside, and a great size. My whole family enjoyed them. The breakfast sandwich was amazing--flavorful egg, melty cheese, and tasty ham all stacked on one of those fresh bagels. The coffee was excellent too, and they nailed my order with just "a touch of milk." Staff was super friendly and welcoming--big thanks to Sayed! Loved the sandwich and really appreciated the service. My only critique? I should've bought 2 dozen bagels instead of one, because they didn't last long at all. Highly recommend this spot. read more

Love everything about Kinderkamack Hot Bagels. When I order my egg sandwich which is specific and every time it arrives exactly as ordered [scooped out everything bagel, well done eggs, tomatoes, onions, ketchup and black pepper]! Appreciate how quick each employee is in handling a line of customers...AND they treat the customers with professionalism and kindness. Lastly...the bagels are delicious...George, the Owner, kind and the best bagel maker in Bergen County. Highly recommend...A+ read more

Great bagels and sandwiches. Decent location that is convenient. Friendly and fast service.

Eeh. Not great. Came early and they gave us one old and one warm plain bagel. Like cmon. Give them all fresh at that point. Sesame was hard and dry. read more

These are hands down the best bagels I have ever eaten. Everyone who visits us from all over the country wants to get a bagel for breakfast. They are all good. This is the gold standard. Get em while their hot! read more

Went yesterday and got a bagel w/ cream cheese but received very little. Returned today to give a second chance, asked for extra cc, got this instead. Disappointing from one of my fav bagel stores read more

I was previously told the lack of cream cheese was due to a new employee, which I understood at the time. However, after giving this place multiple chances, the quality continues to disappoint. Please consider providing better training for your staff ... customers shouldn't have to ask for a reasonable amount of cream cheese on a $5 bagel. read more

Don't be afraid to pull into a very small parking area. They work pretty fast to get you & your order going. It's a small spot, good amount of people behind the counter. Friendly too. Decent menu, food is good, enough to make it your spot before work. Prices are the going rate. Can't go wrong here. read more

I'm not usually a fan of bagels because I don't like the texture of the dough, but Bagels Kinderkamack completely changed my mind. Their bagels are fresh, perfectly crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside -- the kind of dough that actually tastes good. The ingredients are simple but super fresh, and you can really tell the difference. Definitely one of the best bagel spots I've tried! read more

Good bagels. Great service Have been going there for years. I'm a toasted bagel person. Kids like bagel eggs Taylor ham cheese salt and pepper read more

Used to come here once a week for a bacon, egg and cheese bagel but now that I moved I long to get a bagel from here! One of the best bagel spots in Bergen county read more

Came back as per my monthly visit, still the best bagels in NJ in my opinion, perfection. Staff are friendly and fast. If you want an awesome bagel fast with generous fillings, this place is it! read more

Genuinely the best bagels in the world. I grew up near there and we always got our bagels from them. When I moved to PA I was extremely disappointed by every bagel shop I tried because nothing could measure up to Kinderkamack bagels. I never shut up about them, and my friend thought it was just nostalgia talking but then I took her to Jersey to try the bagels and now she understands. These bagels will change your life. read more

Incredibly quick service. In and out in less than five minutes. BEC on a bagel tastes great and their bagels were delicious

Amazing bagels and services. Fresh and made on the premises! As a first timer, I got lox and veggie cream cheese and it was amazing! The bagel was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside! read more

Very quietly the best bagels in all of New Jersey. Never mentioned on any lists, but they're the best. Consistently perfect. Fresh and warm all day. Standard but limited spread options, but their egg sandwiches are always perfect. Great folks working the counter as well. The tiny parking lot is insane getting in and out- novices should park across Kmack in the Ace Hardware overflow lot. read more

Mold on the sausage of my sandwich. Couldn't believe my eyes. Previously all other times were great but I haven't been back since. I would really appreciate it if they checked their (likely frozen) food before selling. read more

The bagels are okay hard to bite but sunrise is the dub I like sunrise better this place sucks in my opinion.

The best bagel shop of all that I've tried in River Edge, Oradell, New Milford, Emerson or Westwood. Bagels are always crunchy/crusty in the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Lots of places have the soft insides thing down, but getting that outside right is what makes a bagel. read more

Best bagels around, hot and tasty. You get 2 extra with a dozen and their breakfast Sandwiches are amazing. The service is always top notch and friendly no matter how busy the are. Go there early on weekends as they get very busy in the morning. read more

Amazing bagels every time we come. My husband and I moved to New Milford 3 years ago and for the longest time we would only go to our hometown bagel shop because it was all we know but since we live 20 mins away from our hometowns we needed to find a local bagel place. This is hands down the best bagel shop in the area. read more

Some of the best bagels around. Bagels are everything you'd expect them to be. Our preferred bagel spot.

bagels are fine but they have the audacity to charge over 5.00 for a prime drink is completely insane. Responding to the owner. Thats absurd response. and if thats the case, you need a better distributor. You can purchase prime for 1.89 a bottle on Amazon right now . Target sells it for 2.00 a bottle forever. read more

I'll give Kinderkamack Hot Bagels a 5 star review again and again. Gosh, we've been coming here for many years and never fails to deliver. The bagels are always hot, fresh and tasty. This establishment offers many options in bagels and in addition, a free one with every 6 bagels you purchase (favor it more because of this). Although we've been continuously coming for years, that never seemed to changed. I really appreciate the loyalty and the crispy bagels! I've never seen this place without a line. I mean cmon, that's the way it should be. The wait never seemed to bother me because of the quick and effective staff. They're always friendly and really take pride of their shop. Thank you Kinderkamack bagels - Can't wait to visit this weekend! read more

This bagel is unreal good! The bagel was fresh out of the oven and so warm. They are super generous with the fillings and it makes it so tasty! I am obsessed. read more

I'm new to the area and this has quickly become my preferred bagel place. The two main reasons: 1. The bagels are traditionally, old school sized...not giant steroid bagels. 2. How they do up the seeds/seasoning on their everything is crazy good. Super delicious. read more

These bagels are my favorite in the tri-state area! Not only do they have a large assortment of flavors, but they have a large assortment of cream cheeses too. You must try the jalapeño cream cheese - it's the perfect amount of spice per each bite. Definitely a go to for me whenever I'm in North Jersey! read more

Maybe I'm a little biased because these were the first bagels I had and I used to work here in high school-But these are hands down my favorite bagels! Nowhere else gets the same consistency of soft, chewy dough on the inside with just a slight crunch on the outside- qualities of an authentic (and downright tasty) North Jersey bagel. It's easy to be distracted by the thrills of some bagel shops with the different spreads and sandwiches. I gauge the quality of a bagel one way only- I order a plain bagel with plain cream cheese. Why? Flavored cream cheeses and sandwiches will always taste good. But only good quality and very fresh bagels will pass the plain bagel and cream cheese test. And this places passes every...single...time. So maybe I AM biased because I remember how often they had fresh bagel batches coming out during the day or because I remember the amount of time and effort they put into each customer's order. But I brought my fiancé in twice already and he agreed - we may live kind of far from Kinderkamack Hot Bagels, but it's 100% worth the trip. read more

When you walk in you are greeted by staff right away and they are eager to take your order. You could see the bagels being made right behind the counter. Their bagels are normal size. Nice little crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. I get their breakfast bagels on everything bagel with ketchup and pepper. It's really satisfying! Fast friendly service with tasty bagels. You can't go wrong here! read more

The best of the best. Always a crunchy outside and super soft inside. Great breakfast sandwiches too. The 20 minute trek from my house is well worth it. read more

Best bagels! In my opinion. Been coming here for years. When I think of bagels, this place comes to mind. Nothing like a thick, plump bagel with a crispy skin. read more

Absolutely delicious breakfast sandwich & great service! Staff was kind and pleasant! Would recommend!

I recently discovered this bagel shop and it's growing on me. They carry turkey bacon, which I love in an egg sandwich on one of their pumpernickel and sesame bagels. The variety of bagels is a bit more extensive than the average bagel shop. Plenty of seating if not on the run. Solid breakfast spot: read more

Came to this place after looking at the reviews, 1 employee was rude and didn't want to make my order as I wanted. Their bagels aren't any better and it's bit more expensive compared to other bagel shops. read more

One of the best bagel shops in northern Bergen county. I also appreciate that they keep their grills open until closing so if you roll up hungover at 2 or 3pm you can still get a breakfast sandwich read more

Food: 4 stars for the bagels and cream cheese options, but a simple bagel shop Service: 5 stars super fast, quick! They hand me my bagel order even before I finished saying my order. It's almost like they read my mind Decor: 3 stars, it is just a bagel shop, just a counter and beverage cooler, no seating. Simple and gets the job done read more

One of the best bagels I've ever had and continues to be. 18 years later I've finally tried a breakfast sandwich and am not disappointed. These are full bagels, but not the behemoths that become gimmicks of themselves. This guy is blasting out bagels day in and day out. read more

This is the first spot my bf's cousin took us to for my first ever visit in Jersey and I was surprisingly impressed -- not by its looks, but definitely by its bagels. I walked in not expecting much -- it's a small, somewhat dark and plain bagel shop. BUT don't let looks fool you! Some people are all about the filling (which Kinderkamack spreads on thick). Some people are all about the bagels. Me? I'm about the bagels. Their bagels are nice and yeasty; just how I like 'em!!! #THICC. I can't say much since I only really tried one other bagel shop during my visit. What I can say though is that this spot has the best bagels I have ever put in my mouth! read more

Best bagels in the area. Just tried them after a long time and they are just as good as the best NYC bagels.
