I have been coming here for years! In August/sept I noticed the bagels have changed. First it just seemed harder, not as fluffy- the outside of bagel noticeably different. Then the other day got my usual order-- onion & cinnamon raisen . It was 8:30-9am-- the bagels were cold & hard! I went to cut both-- and very few onions on the onion bagel, it was different outside/ like a definite change look. I cut them-- and they were not fluffy like they used to be. The cinnamon raisin only had ONE raisin inside when cut!! The onion barely any onion. So even if an owner changed hands-- WHY are the bagels now COLD & HARD at 7:30-8-9am???!!!! They used to be sooooo FRESH & HOT out of the own at that time! Soooo sad! They need to get their act together & get that recipe/or baking BACK to its original recipe ! read more

Amazing Service with ample amount of food options. I recommend to try their hot lunch menu with side of iced latte. read more

A decent bagel and coffee. It's no metro-NYC fluffy water bagel, but to satisfy the craving for a BEC, it'll work. The location was clean, staff was friendly, and everything seemed well stocked. read more

obviously, they recently changed the ingredients. The bagels are tasteless. Companies sure raise the price, rather than cut back on the ingredients. read more

Im a foodie, I know good bagels. This Manhattan bagel had the best bagels around. a fluffy water boiled bagel. I've been going there for 7 years. Recently I was told they changed their oven so I gave them a pass, I'm a loyal customer. but the last dozen times the bagels have been hard and not the great bagels that I've always looked forward to every Sunday. I was told today that the owners changed. when I got my bagels today and tried to squish them and they were hard, I went back to the counter and asked for ones that weren't hard. I can't go back. new owners, new oven, not the same. I don't like bagels that feel and taste like yesterdays bagels. read more

Don't know what is happening lately with the bagel quality. Have been going there for 6 years and lately the poppy bagels have hardly any seeds on them and the consistency of the dough is not the same. Guess I'm looking for a new bagel place. You can't cut quality and raise prices, people will notice. I certainly did. read more

HEADS UP!! Been going to this place for years but new owners just changed a bunch of stuff. The Everything bagel used to be the best but took off all the seasoning and changed recipe. Also coffee is noticeably different. Watered down and bitter. It's a shame because the women that works the front counter is such a nice person, and she's going to have to deal with the complaints when they start pouring in. I will try again and hope is just a transitional period, but cautious for sure. read more

Every time excellent service loving smiles and great listeners order are always right

Ordered a breakfast sandwich with extra sausage and ended up with no extra on it but was charged for it though. Didn't realize it until I got home to eat it, so didn't feel like driving back and was stuck eating a regular order that I paid $3 more for. read more

Nasty drink, bad service. They frozen chiller looks nothing like the image then when I said something, she acted as if I wanted her to make the whipped cream by hand. It tasted disgusting and my husband's latte was unbearable. He mixed it with creamer we bought from another store. read more

It's pretty good compared to most Manhattan bagel's. Very clean and friendly service. I love the egg white, asparagus,mushroom bagel sandwich with tomato spread. My second favorite is the lox and cream cheese. read more

I'm gonna be honest when I went to this bagel store I was expecting great service. The people were nice but when I got home, one of five bagels were missing. W-T-F. I know people are busy but we paid for this. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, not coming back here again. :( read more

Good bagels, fast service and delicious hot lattes! I enjoy them for quick easy pickup breakfasts. Staff is friendly and helpful.

25 mins, for a below average breakfast sandwich. Seriously, have had 1000 egg and cheese in my life, never waited longer. Fix your process read more

Placed an order through Doordash and 3 items were missing from order. Tried calling store and there was no option to speak to someone about the order. POOR SERVICE!! read more

after I got home from waiting close to a half hour due to it being busy for a bagel toasted with bacon egg and cheese, the bagel wasn't toasted and their was barely a egg, the other bagel we had ordered was supposed to have cream cheese on it and had butter instead. very disappointed for waiting as long as I did. read more

Good bagels. Obviously, no comparison to a really good bagel in Manhattan, but a pretty fine showing.

Got a pork roll , egg and cheese. Seems like they put 1/2 an egg and a piece of pork roll. Pathetic. Also ordered bagel with peanut butter. The amount of peanut butter was just another to color the bagel- like a peanut butter stain. Horrible. Good bye Manhattan Bagel. read more

Second time here , first time I had a bagel and was not happy with it . Figured I'd give it another try and very unhappy with the food , small , bread was flavorless , bacon was not fresh (asked for extra bacon ) dull at best . There are better spots for breakfast food in the area read more

Great, especially on the go. Very good service. Easy for in and out. They have a great selection of bagels and food. Twice as good as anything you'll get from a chain like Dunkin. Cream cheese is bomb too. read more

On the way to Irish Feis at the Beach Dance Competition at Wildwood and called in a complicated Breakfast order. They said 5 minutes. We arrive 5 minutes later. It was ready. Nicest, sweetest people. Lots of friendly smiles and chat. Bright, cheery place. And it's all delicious! Happy way to start a morning. Thanks, Folks!! We'll be back! read more

Ordered food for a breakfast the morning after my daughter and son-in-laws wedding delivered to our house in LBI for June 11. Lisa was very helpful with her suggestions for our order. Delivery was prompt and everything was delicious. Bagels, cream cheeses, lox platters, muffins, danishes turnovers, assorted egg/cheese/bacon sandwiches, yogurt bowl, fruit salad. Plentiful food and everything was fresh. Thank you again and I would highly recommend ordering from Manhattan Bagel Manahawkin. read more

Located in the Shop Rite Mall on Route 72 this is a fun, clean and spacious bagel shop with great bagels, wraps, coffee bar and whole grain bread (toasted of course). Fresh salads, sandwiches (tuna, chicken, breakfast, etc) and a nice selection of coffees. For something different I prefer the tostini country egg and cheese sandwich with peppers and taylor ham on toasted whole grain bread. Yum. Plus they have free wifi and a TV showing the news. Nice considerate young servers. Great for breakfast, lunch or just a snack. GO THERE! read more

Bagels are fresh, sandwiches are tasty. Service is very good . I had the Chelsea Chicken which was perfect. The side of potato salad was very good. My only comment was it was very hot in the restaurant to eat in, read more

Food is OK but a word to the wise, check your to go orders before leaving. ..the mess up. The food is palatable and the selection decent. Beats most fast foods. read more

I usually don't review popular franchises like this because most people know places like this. I also don't usually go to manhattan bagel because there are many places with better bagels. As far as manhattan bagels this one is by far the best. The service is much better, and the selection of food is unbelievably bigger than all the rest. Lattes, hash browns, specialty bagels, and much more things that are not available at other stores. read more

Love, love, love MB!! Sunday breakfast with the fam every week:) Lisa & her staff are friendly, service is quick & the coffee is hot!! read more

So good and So friendly. Love the steak, egg and cheese. One of my favorite places to get Breakfeat!

How did this hell hole get 4 stars? Let me change that and give you the skinny on this matter. Staff was disorganized, poor attitude l, they insist on rubbing in the fact that the breakfast sandwich comes with meat even when all you want is egg and cheese ( why complicate this people???). This place has mediocre coffee, dark roast was bad light roast was watery but significantly better. Save your money go anywhere else. Go to fucking wawa and drink the gasoline, its a better time than this crumby chain. read more

WOW- This place is amazing, not only does Manhattan Bagel have so many options but also friendly staff... Which is hard to find in Manahawkin. I usually go in every other day and the staff gets to know you. The owner knows my dad and I from coming in so many times. She keeps the place clean and appealing. I would recommend eating inside due to how clean the friendly the staff is! read more

I like the atmosphere of this place. It's a bagel shop but it has enough of a cafe element that you can hang out here. Pretty crafty, tasty food. read more

I go here every Sunday morning with my son for our breakfast sandwiches. Service is quick and the food always fresh. The staff is always pleasant and friendly. The place is very clean and comfortable. read more

I would have loved to give a better review to the bagel places in stafford or Barnegatt, but they are never consistent. So Manhattan bagel gets my five stars. Always fresh. Always consistent. read more

Always good service!! Always fresh food! Never had a bad lunch or breakfast Very clean establishment

l love love LOVE this place. Quick and easy service and the coffee is nearly wawa quality. Employees are such a pleasure as well

The bagels here are absolutely horrendous, especially when you have so many better local choices in the area and on the island. It took forever for my order to be ready and when it was finally done it was done all wrong. Something like Bagels and Beyond is eons ahead of the travesty that is Manhattan Bagel... read more

I had the worst service I've had in a long time there. I ordered a bagel sandwich on a thin bagel which was listed as "Turkey Thin" on the menu. The girl at the counter rudely replied "Deli turkey?" when I ordered it. Assuming that she had misunderstood me, I said, 'no, the turkey thin, please." She pointed out to me with disdain that the "turkey thin" is listed under the deli style sandwiches. When I called her out on giving me an attitude, she was taken aback and went to get the manager. I stormed out before I could meet the manager, and will never set foot in there again. read more

I enjoy their honey wheat bagels and asparagus egg white sandwhich. A bit pricey but still Enjoy going their for breakfast on the weekends

Always great service ! We eat here almost every week. The owners in particular are very friendly, my wife only drinks earl grey tea and on one occasion they had run out the owner saw this and literally ran to shop rite to get tea and brought it back before she finished her bagel. We order bagels for our daughters birthday parties and school holiday days. Never had an issue with service or a bad product. I wish they could also make waffles and pancakes too but you can t have it all. Toilets are always clean and maintained and when you have small children thats a plus. read more
