This place SUCKS with time! Not to mention the service is terrible. Even ordering through uber at this place sucks.

What can I say that I haven't said before. I tried the spinach bacon cheese on egg white croissant and that shit was good. To this day this place has a good selection of breakfast sandwiches and good dark roast coffee. You can't go wrong here. That's who I give it 5 stars . read more

Manhattan Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Union, New Jersey

For a chain, bagels here are decent. They have many different flavors like jalapeno and cheddar which I like. There's plenty of space to parking in the parking lot. I've been coming here on weekends on my temporary weekend shift. I took stars away because of the high price, For a bagel and veggie cream cheese is $3.09. Also, one of the employees maybe the manager is very persistent and I think is very rude. The way he communicates, angers me. If I don't want a bag please don't grab my food and stuff it in a bag after I tell you I don't want to waste the bag. I'm sure he has a system where he only knows that food is paid for when people have their items in a manhattan bagel bag. Another thing got to me when he asked me if I wanted help and I replied that I already order and waiting for my bagel but didn't pay for it. He lectures me that his line is the order only line and insists that next time I go to the pay line and wait there. And when I'm trying to ignore him because he already got his point across when I'm paying for my bagel points to the 'order here' sign and continues with his lecture. I wanted to reach over counter and punch him because there shouldn't be to lecture about which line to go to. Many would prefer to have small talk about the weather, sports, and how crappy this place serves over priced bagels. read more

Food was a 2 at best.. The ATTITUDE of the folks behind the counter...WOWW! I asked for pay for a prepackaged item..... dirty look, I was clearly bothering him.. GET A GRIP Folks, THIS IS RETAIL! If it's a bad day for you, stay away from the counter. There are a lot of businesses competing for that dollar. LOL The food is not good enough for that entitled attitude. read more

I love this place! We started going for breakfast in the summer and now I find myself stopping in when I pass by for a great cup of coffee. Try the classic egg breakfast sandwich. What I do like is that I get to make my own coffee, or cold drink. Small place, but decent tables to sit at to enjoy a meal or quick snack and read the paper or tinker with your laptop. Don't remember if they have wifi, but will update as soon as I find out. read more

This is honestly the best bagel spot ever.. usually Manhattan Bagels are the best in NY, but this Manhattan Bagel definitely gives any NY Manhattan Bagel a run for its money... 1000% recommend. Best Manhattan Bagel in NJ read more

Had the worst experience with Manhattan bagel . I placed a pretty big expensive order with them for a work breakfast ,only for the order to be wrong . They are blaming the error on the website they use ( ez cater ) but they are the establishment that fulfilled the order . I have gone back and forth with the manager. unfortunately there is no resolution. I am very disappointed with how they are treating me as the customer . There are plenty of other bagels places in Union , that I will place future orders with . read more

I'm usually not the bagel buyer in this household, but we went to the gym together, so we hit up Manhattan Bagel afterwards, for a dozen to take home! I have been here previously, I like the bagels, they always have an interesting variety. The bagels are of a good size but not super huge and over risen like other bagel spots. Bagels are fresh, and still warm! They have a nice pull on the outside and soft on the inside, just what you expect from a NY/NJ bagel. $9.99 for a dozen (they don't do a bakers dozen here) They re heat really well and are perfect for a bagel fix during the week! FYI the Cheddar Jalapeno has quite a kick! read more

I have had good experiences with this location however, sometimes they do not listen to your requests. I asked for a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese. They did not toast it. I got a hard bagel with cream cheese. Check your order before leaving the place. read more

I've been coming to this place for years and for some reason the bagels have shrunk in size.Not paying $18 dollars for two chicken salad bagels minus the size .Beware this place will charge you for a mini bagel with anything on it the same price as a big one ! read more

I have done plenty of pick up orders during COVID and this by far the worst place to order for pick up. No line order, you just stand out waiting to get someone's attend, they keep walking back and forth and not assisting anyone and your just standing around looking lost. read more

Literally always get the same thing and it's literally been burned every time. That thing would be a toasted everything bagel. Burnt toppings on an everything bagel kinda ruins it. It's also very tiny and chaotic inside during busy hours, very confusing to create or maintain a line or any organization to ordering. I chose to use the westfield location for all my catering needs because when I called this location I was turned off by what I perceived to be a lack of professionalism and organization (which I have already experienced). I have stopped going because all I want are bagels and they're always burnt. If they stopped burning bagels I would go back. The cold brew is good and sometimes I have coupons. That does bring me back. read more

Omg why have I never been here before?!? This place is amazing it's a cute little place with a homey environment and it's clean the menu is real easy to read and there's. TV in the back to watch news. But let's talk about the real star....the food I got the turkey bacon and egg white on whole grain bagel and I added an avocado to that n omg I ordered another after that cuz it was that good. And they no that their food is good cuz they have hand crafted cream cheese u can purchase to take home. You have to go u should go u owe it to yourself read more

Manhattan Bagel - Turkey bacon egg white on whole wheat bagel with avocado - Bagels Near Me - Union, New Jersey

I have to go 5. I know it's a chain but I am always craving this place. Used to frequent here a lot more when my husband and I lived closer. Now, we only come about 2x a month. I started ordering egg whites, cheese, ketchup on a toasted multigrain bagel when I started coming here. I think they may add butter to the bagel before completing the sandwich and although it's unnecessary, it's so delicious!! The multigrain bagel always tastes so sweet mixed with the savory eggs and cheese. I now moved to egg whites cheese on a whole wheat wrap. Love it!! Always ooZing with cheese. How they make the wrap so warm and not flaky is amazing. Very respectable. I'll often order a breakfast wrap at other bagel places and they never manage to keep the wrap from crumbling. Hate that! Coffee is hot and with a check in you get a free medium. Manhattan is reliable and versatile. Get it. read more

I'm probably the only Jerseyan that's never been to one of these joints. I ended my affair with carbs long ago, but every so often have to rekindle it. My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick breakfast spot before doing some errands a few weeks ago and this came up on yelp. I ordered the italian egg white sandwich- (on multigrain with sausage, peppers, and cheese) and an iced vanilla coffee. It was pretty delish! Only con was the seating is minimal, so go earlier rather than later. Staff is super friendly too! read more

Woke up hungover one day and I needed a bacon, egg and cheese. This was hands down the best bagel I've ever eaten! Phenomenal! Oh and there freshly squeezed oj is amazing. read more

I was completely disappointed in the food. 1 I ordered from Uber Eats and it took almost an hour. They used margarine instead of butter on my bagel (which is disgusting) all the food arrived freezing cold, and one of the sandwiches were burned. The hash brown was literally dipped in grease. Very disappointing as I used to frequent there often and loved their bagels. read more

Pleasantly suprised with their customer service. I ordered breakfast for my coworkers and I for pick up and our order came wrong. Wrong type of bagel, eggs and no salt pepper ketchup. Called to let them know we were displeased and they stated we could have breakfast tomorrow for free, anything of our choice. Today, the bagels tasted even better than yesterday and they were very nice about it all! My mushroom asapargus and egg whites thintastic sandwhich was actually to die for. So good! That is how you get people to come back and forgot about their bad experience and make a new one! Will definitely be ordering from their again. Thank you so much! read more

Uhhhhh the food is exquisite! Everything I order I love, no joke. The cinnamon bagel and cream cheese, the steak, egg, and cheese on a bagel, the cheese danishes, etc. holy crap the OJ is so fresh sometimes I randomly pull over just to get a 10 oz cup it's stupid good. I really love the text your order feature. There's always a line so text your order to +1 (908) 751-0085 and it'll be ready when you get there. The first time you text it'll register you in their system. Then you have to text your order after that and you'll know you did it right when you get an order number. read more

Love coming here to grab a great breakfast. Their service is always excellent and they serve with a smile.

If I could give zero stars I would !!! I placed an order with this business and it toook over two hours to receive !!! And nobody picks up the phone ! Canceling the order was impossible!! Worst place ever !!!!! read more

Whenever i craved for bagel I go to this place. Food is good but customer service can be improved.

Manhattan bagels has good food for each season,I recommend the cranberry turkey croissant melt it is so good and they offer doggie bagels for your dog it's only 1.00 and it is beef flavored. read more

Very good food.. Usually friendly service.. a little expensive but overall I enjoy going there.

One of my new favorite breakfast spots before school! Super friendly staff. Very fast at taking orders and getting you out as quick as possible. I order a multigrain bagel with veggie cream cheese. Delicious! They have a lot of different bagel options. Thinking of trying the french toast and chocolate chip my next time :) read more

Our go-to place for bagels. Sometimes on weekends we will order a dozen and get a variety. It is not unusual for some of the bagels to still be warm when we get home. The bagels are always moving, which means they are selling them as fast as they are making them. read more

The borough of manhattan should collectively sue this company for defamation of character and slanderous disregard--passing these sad lumps of emulsified carbs for manhattan bagels. The bagels were chewy (not in the yummy old school bagel kind of way, but the over-processed dough that has no love from a human crafting hand kind of way). The lox was thick and flavorless with bones and thick hard pieces of skin that randomly assault your teeth. No capers or wedge of lemon in sight. Let us for a moment assume that this NYC staple is not their strength. Operate on the premise that, perhaps my quest for this authentically NYC treat in NJ was a fools errand, given that allowance, this establishment was still a major disappointment. The chicken salad my husband ordered was dry and old tasting. The pickles were half frozen. The "smoothie" was really just minutemaid syrup poured over chucks of ice. There were actual ice cubes intact in the "smoothie" the staff didn't even take the time to blend properly. There is no love in this food. Never again. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. Very very busy however once i finished making my drinks, I went back to the front and everybody cleared out. Very fast service for such a busy place. You can also dine in. The food is delicious but is a bit expensive. Other than that, i go to this place all the time. Good breakfast place. read more

My rating is generous. I've been here a handful of times to buy breakfast sandwiches and/or frappes. On weekend mornings, they are very busy.... easily 5-10 ppl on line to place orders and/or pay at the same time. It is also very unorganized with people skipping the lines. Arrive early if you want to eat-in (limited seating). Their sandwiches, bagels and coffee are really good. Their frappes aren't as good as they used to be. I was there about a month ago and asked for a caramel frappe and the guy who took my order had to ask another guy behind the counter to get him the caramel sauce from the coffee station so that he can make my drink. Then, It was too sweet (no coffee taste at all)! :\ Mickey Ds makes them better. Disappointed. read more

Sandwiches are good and bagels are pretty fresh. In the warmer months they offer $.99 ice coffees (any size). They get busy on weekends but the service is fast. Fresh fruit is good too and makes me feel a little bit better about my taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich. read more

You cannot call in and place an order you have to text it or place online. but half of the time it doesn't work and you waste your time trying to order food that is just mediocre. read more

Don't get me wrong, these bagels are absolutely amazing. However this bagel restaurant is VERY expensive. Just last week we ordered 2 Bacon, Egg and cheese sandwhiches and 3 bagels, 1 Orange Juice and 1 Vitamin Water. It cost us 20$. Lets talk about the cost. Out of 10 times I have been to this place. 9/10 of my orders have been wrong. Also be aware that I have TEXTED my order into this place about 6 of the 10 times. The incompetence of the staff is probably why my order costed me 20$. They have to make up for profit loss because 9/10 orders are thrown away and replaced. All of their order incompetence aside. This place is amazing, great food and a great variety. Seriously though, please replace the staff with people who can get a texted order correct. read more

One of the best bagel spots I've been to - consistency is KEY here. This establishment has been on-par with the best bagel places I've been to, and every time they make what you ask, it's spot-on. Been a long-time resident of Union (my hometown), and I've been coming to this Manhattan Bagel for years. I haven't had a bad experience yet. My only issue is sometimes, they'll forget ketchup on your bagel if you ask for it. Other than that, they're terrific. Eggs always cooked well, cheese is the PERFECT consistency, and their bagels are always the right size and texture. I've yet to have a bad bagel here. I recommend calling your orders in if you know you'll be going there, and if it's on a weekend morning. They're MOBBED. read more

This place smells heavenly. I ordered the lox with cream cheese on a honey whole wheat bagel. It was delicious but I shouldn't have assumed they will toast it. It's just not as good without heat. On well, I still ate the whole thing. I also tried the asiago bagel. Never had it before and it's now my new favorite food. read more

Decent not amazing bagels. Fresh, chewy and better than many of the other stiff bagels in the neighborhood. But they arent great which is why only 3 stars. This place does have a small sitting area which is better than most. They have real brewed ice tea, unusual flavors of bagels. There is just something missing. Kind of has the feel of a restaurant in a mall. read more

Manhattan Bagel never disappoints. There bagels are always soft and fresh. I would recommend Manhattan Bagel for anyone who wants an affordable great breakfast. 9/10 read more

This place has a really good flat bagel sandwich. I had the one with egg whites, Swiss, asparagus, and a tomato spread. I added sliced tomatoes. Pleasantly surprised how delicious it was. read more

Yes, it gets very (sometimes annoyingly) crowded on weekend mornings, but that speaks volumes about the quality. If I ever enter a diner and restaurant during what should be peak hours, and it's not crowded, I head for the nearest exit. The food here is top notch, service is friendly and since its within walking distance of my home, I'm glad that this Manhattan Bagel is nearby and in the interest of doing business with my neighbors I try to frequent this establishment as often as possible. Definitely one of the better breakfast & lunch options in Union. read more

Love this place. The coffee is good, and the staff is friendly.
