I have had an everything bagel with cream cheese when I was high school and I just remembered how good the bagel was. This place is located in the same plaza as Shoprite in Brick. There was quite a lot of people when I went. The place looked very similar to other bagel shops. I thought the decor inside would be modern since it is a franchise. Line didnt take that long; it moved fast. I wanted to customize/create my own but I didnt see this option on the menu. I decided to get the farmhouse which is a hash brown bagel with cream cheese, egg, bacon and ham. At first I didnt think cream cheese would taste good with all the other stuff but everything about this bagel sandwich was delicious. Farmhouse cost $7.99. I also got a side of hash brown as you can see from my photo it looked sad; hash brown needs to be worked on. read more

I went there about a month ago cause I was in the area and again today. I always get a bacon egg and cheese on a everything bagel. Well both times the everything bagels were plain bagels as there were barely any seeds on the bagels. The first visit i brought it back and the lady at the counter tried to convince me that it was a everything bagel because of the 12 and half seeds on the bagel. So at the endbof the day I will not be returning to this Manhattan bagel ever again. If only I could post pictures to show that would be great read more

I enjoy this place. People are friendly and efficient. Love their bagels and specialty cream cheeses.

Loved the coffee! The breakfast croissant with spinach, eggs, bacon, and provolone is amazing! The coffee is rich and superb all around. I'll be back! So many coffee varieties to choose from. Really enjoyed how fast you can get in and out in record time! Everything rates 5-stars! Mahalo for reading my review. read more

Manhattan Bagel - the inside of a restaurant - Bagels Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Don't expect too much. The food in general is freshly made. Yes, the place is busy at breakfast and lunch. The place feels somewhat like a downer, for instance, the lines move very slowly, the tables are very small, the floors are very dirty, the garbage in most receptacles are filled. And The staff is grumpy, not very helpful. They have the following signs hanging from the ceiling: ORDER HERE AND PAY HERE. There is no PICK-UP sign. So of course people wait around the PAY HERE area and that's where the problems arise. Having had a restaurant experience myself, I could shape this place up in two weeks. PS the food is 3 stars. read more

Service staff is top notch. Always an A team. Haven't had a sandwich we didn't like. Place always cleans. read more

The food was terrible. Cleanliness was also an issue. I had the turkey bacon on an everything bagel and the food quality was poor.

food was absolutely delicious and the workers were very kind. The wait time isnt to bad and the place is nice

Enough is enough. I get simplifying menus to streamline and cut costs but if you do that you have got to do it right. Here they have gone too far and hiked the prices too much. Gone from the menu are the traditional items you associate with bagels like whitefish salad and the array of bagel spreads that are traditional. I ordered an Ellis pastrami sandwich on a cinnamon raisin bagel which is supposed to be grilled and hot. It was cold and on the wrong bagel and was put in the box such that it could not be unwrapped without falling to pieces. My father had the spicy chicken sandwich special which also should have been hot but was cold and also fell apart and was messy just unwrapping it. (by way of update, the chicken was so undercooked that it gave my dad food poisoning) On top of that, the cashier didn't even know what the special of the day was and tried to upcharge me for it. Her excuse was that no one bothered to tell her the special despite it being on a sign by the door. Simplification is the present trend but know what you are doing and do it well if you choose to simplify. This place has seen better times. I will find somewhere else in the future for my bagel needs. read more

I've been going to this Manhattan Bagel since I moved to Brick in 2004. Recently I've noticed that a lot of their bagels no longer include as much seasoning as they used to. Is this place under new management? It used to be so amazing, and now the service is still great, don't get me wrong, but it's like they've started skimping out on things. Am I the only one who wants to see the seasoning on an everything bagel or a garlic bagel? I've done a lot of ordering through door dash and a lot of the times I'm missing items, were there substituting things without my permission. It's really disappointing. 5 stars for the employees, 2 stars for the quality compared to what it used to be. read more

BRICK: get yourself and your doggie a bagel at Manhattan Bagel! They have a special doggie bagel that tastes like beef! What a cute idea! There are a couple of outdoor tables to enjoy your meal! read more

I am not the person to leave bad reviews but this place was so disgusting. I saw a huge cockroach that came crawling out of the refrigerator case that a customer almost stepped on. Then, I saw one of the workers throw a milk crate of bagels on the floor, then lifted it up and put it on top of a trash can while picking at the bagels with bare hands. The kitchen area that is visible for customers to see over the counter is horrendous, crumbs and garage everywhere. No wonder there are cockroaches here. I feel like one glance over by health inspection would surely get this place shut down. I am disgusted and will not be returning. read more

Gave them a second chance today and I will not be returning. I've worked in a bagel deli before and understand how busy the mornings can be. Came at 10am on a Sunday. The person behind the counter quickly took our order with no personality. Okay fine. I repeated my bagel (honey whole wheat everything) three times. Waiting in line, there is absolutely no order. There were three Uber eats drivers waiting, which clogged the whole line up. There is no spot for pickups which is terrible-people have no clue where to stand and there's no order at the register. The older woman at the counter is completely rude. My bagel came out and she screamed "PORK ROLL EGG AND CHEESE ON EVERYTHING" and went to hand it to me. I said that I asked for a honey whole wheat everything, the main reason I come here because no other bagel place has it. She threw it back on the counter and the other gentleman who took my order went to hand me the bag again saying it was mine. I took it out and guess what? Still wrong. I wasn't waiting to fight with these people over a bagel so I just took it and left. Maybe get better customer service skills, but by looking at the other reviews it seems that other people have the same problem. read more

Manhattan Bagel - Pork roll on a whole wheat bagel - Bagels Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

The service is usually okay at best, as is the food, and some days take significantly longer than others to get your order. Today I ordered three bagel breakfast sandwiches to go -- and thank goodness I checked my order before leaving. I received one bagel sandwich and two plates of the stuff that was supposed to be on the other sandwiches... but not on a bagel or in any sandwich form. I was pretty taken aback and went back to the counter to have this fixed and, while it was quickly taken care of, everyone behind the counter was laughing and treating this like a silly joke. Definitely a little funny because of how dumb this was, but also immensely frustrating when your order is simple breakfast sandwiches at a bagel place. I still can't figure out how or why two out of three breakfast bagel sandwiches came out on a plate with no bagel, just filling on a plate... read more

Nothing is better than bagels from a local family bagel shop, but if you have to get bagels from a chain, Manhattan Bagel is the best option. The setup of the place still gives that local bagel shop feel. They have a good variety of bagels and have plenty of options of what you can do with them. I tend to go for either bacon or pork roll, egg and cheese. Can't beat that sandwich. They have also gotten into the lunch/deli side of things, offering wraps, sandwiches, and salads. Prices are decent. Food quality is nothing to complain about. Not a bad stop for a bite to eat! read more

Always good for a PEC sandwich on a Saturday morning. Bagels are always good and consistent with a decent variety. The lunch menu is meh - needs improvement. The staff is always friendly and they keep the tables clean. My only suggestion would be to lower the volume of the TV...it's a bit overbearing if you are sitting near it. read more

Just a regular bagel shop, my food came out out quickly which I was happy with. If your just looking to get a bagel or Bacon egg cheese this is your spot. Don't expect much more. read more

Ordered online! bagles were fresh and never had to leave my home.service was pleasant no issues

Today I tried this place. I got a bacon egg and cheese on a roll. It was so disgusting and literally made me nauseous after a few bites. Cost $5.50 and i wouldn't even feed it to my dog it was so gross. Definitely recommend Jovi's Deli on Route 88 for breakfast sandwiches cause their food is awesome and reasonably priced. read more

Was here for breakfast.. A woman came in with a dog the server came out from behind the counter petted the dog and than went back to handling food..without washing her hands.. This made me very nervous, the lack of hygiene was unbelievable.. We won't go back .. Plus I don't believe animals are allowed in places serving food Unless they are service dogs.. This was not? read more

I can't deal with this store anymore. In addition to finding hairs in my food not once but twice, I made it a point to say something today that they be mindful of that. Today I paid dry porkroll and wound up feeding it to the dogs. Will never be coming back here. At least today there wasn't any hair in our food. read more

this is a good Manhattan Bagel. the bagels are fresh, my order was correct, there was plenty of tables to eat at. the staff was efficient and friendly enough. in my town though there are many other breakfast options including privately owned bagel shops. the other bagel shops make huge bagels that are soft on the inside and crips on the outside. they make breakfast sandwiches stuffed with fluffy eggs and loads of bacon. my sandwich from this manhattan bagel was small with only two slices of bacon. it was good and tasty but skimpy in comparison. why did i go there? well i was getting my car fixed nearby and this was convenient. there was absolutely nothing wrong with this store but just didn't measure up in comparison read more

Manhattan Bagel - brick new jersey - Bagels Near Me - Brick, New Jersey

Ordered one dozen bagel and gave them a coupon for 4 free bagels with the order. When I got home there were only 13 bagels and not 16 like it should have been. What am I supposed to do take my order when they give it to me and leave, or start going thru the bag to count the bagels? My gut feeling tells me that this is done on purpose and they must be having financial problems. Be careful, or better yet, stay away and go someplace else for your bagels. read more

I've been a loyal customer for the last 6 years. Every time I go there it's been getting worse and worse. TERRIBLE customer service....The employees never say good morning back or even smile!! My order is CONSISTENTLY wrong and when you ask for your order to be fixed they have an attitude and return it to you sloppy and with a lack of care. Do your job right the first time and I wouldn't need to return it! As the paying customer I have the right to get what I ordered! You've lost me as a customer, I will be going to Baron's bagels from now on. read more

Bagels are always burnt on the bottom, and when you ask the lady owner she looks at you like you got two heads. Very nasty! They do a excellent buissness and thats probably why she dont care what a customer might say. The man owner seems ok, but the bagels are small and burnt, which makes them a little hard to chew...my jaw always hurts when I eat one. Bagel boy are the best bagel always good, unfortunately there are none in the town of Brick. read more

Very, very slow service. Not friendly. Don't need to deal with that. Over 15 min for a plain buttered bagel. 4/5 people in front of me. The floors, counter and cutting are dirty with seeds etc from cutting and they just lay the take out box and bags on top of it. Yuck. read more

Decent bagels. Very busy at breakfast and lunch. Staff can be a little surly and indifferent

Ordered on Yelp today. Manhattan's staff was friendly and efficient. Bagels were great !

SO DELICIOUS! Best bacon, egg, and cheese in the state! Fast service despite the fact that they are almost always busy. Not overly friendly staff but not rude either....just need to work fast to accommodate the volume of orders. Tough to find a spot to sit but if ur lucky its nice both indoors and outdoors (seasonal) read more

The lady behind the counter was so short and rude. I work in food service at a very busy place, I get that it can be overwhelming but you don't have to be rude. She got my order wrong, asked for an egg bagel and got an everything. The bagel was gross with undercooked pork roll and the coffee taste burnt. I tried to contact their customer service but their website is poorly maintained. Really unhappy. Go get a real bagel, it's worth the price. read more

Food is consistently good...service and set up is poor...never know what you ordered is what you get by the time it gets down the line.

Yesterday my state opened restaurants for outdoor seating only. So my family and I went to Manhattan Bagel for a quick lunch. I ordered a Pork Roll & Cheese on a plain bagel and I have been waiting for months for that sandwich.it was delicious cooked perfectly the bagel was nice and soft. Great food. Outdoor seating was nice, the tables were a safe distance overall great meal read more

I absolutely love this place and USUALLY love coming here, except for today. We thought they closed at 4 but we were driving by at 4:15 and the sign said 'open' so we stopped and the hours on the window said they are open until 5 pm mon-fri. We went inside and an employee behind the counter rolled his eyes. When I asked if they had any 'everything' bagels left, a different employee said what I see is what they have, they close in 20 minutes. It was 4:20 pm at this time. I understand people get annoyed when you go in and they're about to close but I had 40 minutes! They were very unprofessional and I don't plan on returning any time in the hour before closing from now on. The only reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because I usually have a decent experience AND I'm addicted to the Empire State Club on the everything bagel. read more

An assembly line of bad food and service. Got rushed through the line for ordering and waited a while for the food, which was served on a 5 inch plate, half of it falling off, cheese not melted. Is it too much to ask for courtesy and proper service??? And dirty floors. I'm not even going to try the rest room! read more

Manhattan Bagel has some of the best breakfast sandwiches and wraps around. The croissant sandwich is absolutely delicious. That was my choice this morning. The croissant is flaky and buttery and pairs extremely well with bacon and scrambled eggs. The staff here are very nice and I never have to wait more than a few minutes to get my order. Dark roast coffee is just what I need to get my day started. read more

Stopped in today to get a couple of breakfast sandwiches about an hour ago. There were 2/3 people ahead of me. Thinking this would be quick easy in and easy out. Of course I should have known better. Went down hill as soon as started ordering. Had to repeat 4 times what I wanted 2 bacon egg cheese on two egg bagels. Along with 2 sesame seed bagels. Well that took about 20mins get to the register notice they are on plates I tell the older lady with glasses I wanted them to go. That didn't sit to well she gets some foil and starts to mumble under her breath about telling the counter when I order to get it right don't wait till I pay. Hey older women with glasses at register here's a tip. Try leaning to smile and get a personality. And don't look so stone face all the time. And try showing people you like working there. And here's another tip it's a thing called customer service. read more

Bagels are ok, nothing like a North Jersey bagel but it'll do for this area. This location does not offer WiFi! Need to add free WiFi- more customers would be inclined to come in and enjoy your atmosphere more often. Especially those who work from home and would like a change of scenery every once in a while. read more

Come here if you want an overpriced, bland breakfast sandwich. Waited quite a while for my food and people in line behind me were getting their food first. On top of that, they also got my order wrong. read more

Never had a bad sandwich whether it be for breakfast or lunch. The bagels are the best around here.

Thank goodness, finally good bagels at the shore! Crispy, tasty--just like a New York bagel. Minus one star because: Service is fast but a little annoyingly clusterish at the register. The scallion cream cheese is a farce; there are no fresh scallions anywhere to be found. Instead just some dry flakes of a dried herb of unknown origin. read more
