This place could be 5 stars. The pluses. The bagels are outstanding, definitely excellent and 5 star. The minuses. The prices are sky high, and the staff is not exactly friendly or welcoming. I've gone here many times, and each time, you get a "what do you want" and that's it. No good morning, no positive vibes nothing. The place has some of the best bagels around and is convenient to my house, however the people here need an attitude adjustment and need to be more friendly! Also the prices, why not have a special like a dozen bagels with creme cheese for a set price, they bang you on both and it is NOT cheap. read more

I've only been here once but was not disappointed. Had a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. Classic on the go breakfast. read more

O'bagel - Delis Near Me - Basking Ridge, New Jersey

First thing I need to address is Food Safety. What's the point in wearing a glove if you're never going to use it. I saw the lady at the cashier dealing with money with the non-gloved hand, then start working on the next sandwich with both hands. Never even washed her hands either. SO WEAR TWO GLOVES, and CHANGE THE GLOVES FREQUENTLY!!! I mean it's not that expensive to get disposable gloves. Costco and BJ's sells them by the hundreds for like $3. Unfortunately, this is one of the only bagel places around other than Dunkin Donuts and A&P. But if food inspection comes randomly this place would be cited. It's a shame on you, and everyone needs to be retrained. Next, the sandwich portions are inconsistent. One person gets a lot of cream cheese or meats, the next a little... Weigh the meat if you don't know the proper portion, get a proper scooper to dab on cream cheese. And when you know people are taking things to go, give at least a napkin... Why is it so hard to find a good deli these days? read more

Overly priced and underwhelming. They close the grill about an hour or two before they actually close. pretty infuriating.

I got the French toast bagel and was given a generous portion of walnut-raisin cream cheese, without having to beg for extra. Friendly service, clean bathroom, real homemade bagels. Would stop again when passing through! read more

Slow as hell. Always confusing. Bagels are hit or miss. Bacon is always greasy and undercooked. Eggs are cooked on a burnt butter grill. They rarely pick up the phone. Its always too hot in there and the tv is on a soccer game ? Most of the time prices change week by week. Otherwise it's great. Buy an overpriced t-shirt or hat covered in grease for 20$. Parking is easy. read more

Excellent service & great bagels. The owner is great. We had a great time there. The owner went out of her way to make sure we were happy.

I have been coming here for years. This weekend might have it. I am constantly disappointed with service in this place. The staff sometimes has an attitude which makes you as a customer feel that if you don't act nicely, you'll piss them off. It's happened to me a few times. Once, the server got my order wrong and then was frustrated with ME. I don't even go back when they forget ketchup on my eggs and cheese because I don't want to deal with them. And that's happens quite a bit. Bagels themselves are mostly fresh but the kitchen doesn't look all that clean and makes you wonder just how your tuna salad was made and when. A customer should never feel like they have to act extra nice to get what they're paying for. $6 bagels, mind you. Because they're the only game in the area, I started buying bagels and making my own double egg and cheese, and tuna salad. read more

While on vacation we stopped at this location for breakfast. My family loved the assortment of bagel sandwiches offered. The egg sandwiches are made to order and the bagels are the perfect sandwich holder. We tried the tomato and mozzarella omelet sandwich and the corned beef omelet. Everyone really loved them. Wishing for a location back home in Massachusetts!! read more

Bagels are very good but rude staff I always go to the one in Hoboken because it is near me And I was expecting the same kind of customer service here totally different I really hate to complain about the stuff but that is honest truth and went back several times because you know maybe they were having a bad day same result every time I went back rude stuff so I decided not to go back there anymore Because of the rude staff read more

Fresh bagels, friendly staff, good coffee, and good sandwiches. Bottom line, don't waste your time going across the street to dunkin donuts. This place is a ton better! read more

The food is pretty good. Too bad the customer service is so bad. The man taking our order was just rude and acted like he was doing us a favor by waiting on us. Then got my order wrong anyway. read more

Maybe some folks don't like these bagels, but we think they are fabulous. We have been to so many other places and they can be tasteless, but not from O'Bagel. Things might get a tad confusing, and one day there is too much cream cheese and another, not enough, but that's OK. Just not a big deal. They work hard and do their best and the flavor of the sesame, everything or cinnamon/raisin BAGEL is SUPERB. read more

I live around the corner from the Riverwalk O'Bagel and have been going there before school and during the weekends for years. I have never before experienced the meanest and outright rude employees at a restaurant. Granted, they have the BEST bagels around, I really quickly go to the O'Bagel 20 minutes away In Dewey Meadows because they are so much nicer. I know they work in a quick-service industry where people are usually probably just as curt and rude, but after going there 75+ times over the course of 4-5 years every single time I am either hung up on after being asked to go on hold for 5 minutes, yelled at while taking my order if they don't understand me the first time, or either met with unwarranted aggression and negativity. They also have no system for pickup so ordering/calling anything in is a nightmare. I never leave bad reviews because I know everyone is doing their best but I've felt like I needed to do this to let people know for a while. If you can, make the extra trek to O'Bagel in Dewey Meadows to not be yelled at. read more

It's a pretty good spot - I usually go here once a month to get bagels for myself and coworkers on a weekday and I've had no problems. In fact, a few coworkers specifically request the French toast bagels (it's a bit too sweet for my taste but I'm always happy with their everything bagels). Service is good but it's usually not busy when I go (around 7:30 am) On the weekends this place is always crowded and sandwiches are made to order. It's a tight spot so service isn't their best at this peak time. Also, I learned early on that they are heavy handed with the ketchup so I'd suggest asking for packets on the side unless you really really like ketchup. read more

The bagels are delicious - the best. The price of the flavored cream cheese is ridiculous. Check it out before you buy it. How much can chives cost??? read more

Truly life changing bagels. The only bagel place I'll ever go to. No bagel is the same as an O'bagel. Their deli sandwiches and cheesesteaks are also phenomenal. Coffee is always a nice dark roast. They even have fresh squeezed orange juice at some locations!!! Anything you get from here is the best of the best. I'm not one to write reviews but this place deserves it. read more

In my opinion, the mark of a good bagel store is a pumpernickel bagel that tastes like a pumpernickel bagel. Outside of Manhattan, in my experience, stores that sell you a pumpernickel bagel are selling you something with so little pumpernickel that it looks like a pumpernickel bagel because of the coloration, but tastes like a plain bagel. At O'Bagel, the pumpernickel bagel is actually a pumpernickel bagel! The bagels are also the perfect size and texture. Furthermore, their chicken salad is the best around. read more

I'm downgrading this place 1-star. I really like the food here -- let me be completely clear about that. I love the fact that they serve Boar's Head products and the bagels are good. The food is solid. On to the bad. The service is pretty bad. Depending on who you get taking your order, it can be an adventure. I've been here with a simple order, placed it and people who came in after me end up leaving well before I do. It can get frustrating. I also think the service could be a lot more friendly considering we come here a lot. Prices are also a little on the steep side. I've decided to take a quick break from this place but I will be back giving them another shot. They are so convenient to where I live so I really do want to like this place. read more

They have great bagels, but the employees are incompetent. The cream cheese is smarter than the employees. I've been there on numerous occasions & my order has been wrong 95% of the time. Unfortunately I'm not willing to support a business who can't get a simple order correct. So long, O'Bagel read more

I've been here several times and I've had it ! Ok as I recall the bagels are decent but the sandwiches area bit of a joke.You don't get a pickle and they're skimpy.I got a chicken salad sandwich the other week and the chicken was that really bland chicken salad not worth bothering with.Today I got a ham and swiss that had very little ham or swiss.It's not that what you get here is bad.It's just you don't get much period.Overall my sense is that they aren't really trying too hard and are very focused on keeping costs down. read more

O'bagel has no doubt the best Whole Wheat everything bagels around. However their service and their up keep isn't the best. My last visit , I ordered a pound of Bologna, it took the woman a good seven minuets to slice only a quarter pound, I stopped her short because it was taking to long and I I really needed to get going. While waiting for her to slice the bologna I noticed MOLD in the pepper shaker, that to me is vile. I brought it to their attention but the shaker just sat on the counter even after we left and no comment was made about it. While they have Great bagels I really think their staff needs to be trained in customer service and how to use the equipment they work with. read more

Horrible Counter people!!! It was a very bad situation this morning when I tried to order my bagels, and asked to put the everything and garlic bagels in one bag, and the plain bagels in another bag. The woman behind the counter began throwing the bagels against the wall, and yelling Spanish words at me that I can only assume were curses, because I didn't order all the bagels in one bag at once. She then left me, and went to butter a bagel for someone else. It was a ridiculous scene, and the people behind the counters are the rudest I have ever seen. I have seen them treat people in the WORST way because the manager could not care less. The bagels are good, but you will stand on line for 20 minutes because they are the only bagel store in town, and have to put up with nasty people. I ended up walking out. It just wasn't worth it. Stay away!!! read more

Great food... Service needs a little polishing... Muffins aren't fresh - beware... Overall, not bad. Just beware of the brick muffins and mopey staff. read more

Poor customer service. I went there twice in the past week and was ignored both times by the cashier. Extremely frustrating! He should pay attention to the customer in front of him. The drink fridge was empty I couldn't get juice and all he did was stare at me when I was trying to get a drink from the back of the fridge. And then he ignored me when I was trying to add to my order at the register. As well as when I was trying to pay. Because he was to busy talking to his friends. Extremely rude and extremely frustrating ruined my day both times. read more

As an avid OBagel visitor, time and time again this location has been the worst of the 4. Their bagels are usually good, however, the employees really seem to have no idea what is going on. Don't go into this place if you are in a hurry because they are slower than snails!! They don't cut bagels evenly, you'll probably get one side WAY thicker. Make sure you have a garbage bag and an extra knife in your car if you get cream cheese because they'll put on half a carton but only on half the bagel, so you'll have to spread it on your own. When the establishment has a long line, they do nothing to make the service better or faster. You'll be standing in line for a woman who has no idea how to use the ipad register. Overall the bagels are so good but this service at this location makes me never want to return. I'll stick to the Stirling location which is THE BEST ONE. read more

The people and food is amazing. I have gone for years and there's no other place I rather get my bagels and the deli is just as amazing (I highly recommend the Reuben panini). I always feel welcomed and treated kindly. O'bagel rocks. read more

I love the way this place makes my sandwiches. There are 3 locations and they all have things that make them unique. This one has better sandwiches and omelets. There is seating inside and out. This is the perfect place to have lunch or breakfast. There is a $10 minimum if you wish to use a debit or credit card. They have the shirts for sell and all sorts of name brand and off name brand chips. Sometimes they have gum and stuff for sell at times but other than the sandwiches the drinks here are phenomenal. They have the Calypso drinks that I love and no other locations have them :D read more

This place has been a lunch/breakfast staple whenever I would travel into Longhill. Best time to go is at 4:45 am,fresh right outta the oven! read more

I only have myself to blame for going back and expecting better service. When your are the only bagel place in town, you can afford to have sub par service and product. 3 locations within a 10 minute radius, I wish there was a different bagel place nearby. I'll just continue to drive 20 minutes away to bagel bazaar near Plainfield.... that's how bad o bagel is. read more

I would have to agree the money spent on a pork eg and cheese for a large coffee pushed near the 8 dollar mark! I got one side slab of pork roll and one small scrambled egg all lathered in ketchup. There was more ketchup than egg. I won't be coming back. read more

Good food but unfriendly service. They make you feel as if your a nuisance. They once took back my bagel sandwich and coffee because I only had a credit card and didn't meet the $10.00 minimum. After I told the attendant that they regularly accept my CC for under $10.00 she replied, "I don't" and took back the sandwich. They all remind me of my fifteen year old daughter. It's almost funny. read more

They continually disappoint, but as the "only game in town" for bagels and breakfast sandwiches they know they can treat you like crap and you'll still go back. More often than not they mess up the order or have people on the phone that don't understand English and speak it horribly. read more

Really excellent bagels - far and away the best I've had in the area. If you hit them at busy times they can be stressed, but the wait is worth it for the bagels. Bagels with fixings are very expensive, so I just get the bare bagels and fix them up myself at home. read more

Excellent bagels, and specifically, the breakfast sandwiches. Given that I don't live in NJ (this is near my parents' house), it's a nice treat to visit here. The staff makes the breakfast sandwiches fresh on the flat-top, which means they are hot and fresh. read more

I have been to many bagel shops that are excellent, this is not one of them. Bagels are just okay, staff is rude. The place could use a cleaning. read more

There are 3 stores in the area, but I decided to choose this one, as they have the nicest employees at this location. Bagels are great, but now that another bagel store I review moved into the area, this is no longer my go to place when I absolutely need a bagel. They usually have run out of what I'm looking for, and they don't have the assortment or varieties of the other place either. Not a bad bagel, but you can do better in a short drive. read more

It's the best bagel store and Ron is a big help. He is very nice and helpful and they cater nice parties everything is very fresh

This place is the worst. They are consistently inconsistent. Every time I visit the portions get smaller and smaller. I don't even know why I bother anymore. They always forget your order 9 out of 10 times. And on top of it the food is disgusting. Save your money and go next door. Oh and don't bother ordering over the phone, they'll put you on hold and never come back. read more

Best bagels around. A must for my out of town family to get their NJ bagels fix.
