P-bagel has the tastiest bagels in the area. They are always nice to me when I'm there. They joined the TooGoodToGo app and are more generous with their bags then other bagel shops. Their soups and sandwiches are also delicious. Service is mixed. Sometimes you can get in and out quickly. Other times the line can stretch almost to the door. read more

Best bagel of my life! The swiss cheese bagel! Got the hot Rueben with swiss and kraut. Great crispy outside and light/airy inside. Tons of flavors. Little hint - go there just before they close and you get a bag full of bagels for free lol. read more

These are the best bagels ever. I grew up in NYC and I'm a self-proclaimed bagel snob. "P-Bagel" Rivals all the big NYC bagel shops. They have a thin crisp shell and an airy angelic center for that perfect melt in your mouth experience and no toasting ever needed. I wish I discovered this hidden gem years ago because I would exclusively buy bagels here. Their spreads are also great. Easy 5 stars! read more

My lovely cousin surprised me this month with the warm and wonderful NY style bagels, (the gift of old European Jews to America), with excellent cream cheese, cream of the summer. We enjoyed that lovely surprise breakfast with Apricot Jam and Desi Chai I learned from another cousin. In our culture, it's not just cousins who are friends and cousins, but the whole human race are cousins, as designated by our God, Allah, in our Glorious Quran, with the most poetic translation by my birthday British soulmate, Marmaduke Pickthall --short story writer and poet turned Quran and Divine lover of Mercy. Anyway, our bagel conversations ended up on motherhood and the joys and examinations of working on good Mom-hood! Great Bagel shop that I'll surely look forward to visiting soon. read more

Recently moved to the area and just went there for the 2nd time... first time was for a dozen assorted bagels - thought the service was unfriendly (unless you were a regular) at best. Chalked it up to it being 10am on a weekend. Went back the other day and the place was empty. The girl that took the order seemed miserable... not looking for confetti to fall from the ceiling when I walk in, but maybe a simple good morning, how may I help you... followed by a thank you or maybe, wait over there and your sandwich will be right up. Then the same girl came to the register for payment - I paid with Apple Pay... I normally don't leave zero tip (even though it's takeout), but after the experience I decided not to tip but didn't ask for a receipt. The total was $9.06 but my phone alerted me that I was charged $10.87 (which is 20% more). Turns out the miserable pregnant girl at the register decided she would just add the tip herself. When I confronted her and asked for a tip, she frantically pressed about 100 buttons on the screen and refunded the tip and handed me a receipt for $9.06. How many other people are they ripping off? Maybe don't be so poor at customer service and you'll earn gratuity and not have to steal it! CHECK YOUR RECEIPT! Stealing from customers is disgusting! read more

Our go to bagel sandwich place--best in the area and we've tried a few! I recommend the egg everything! Overall, good bagel size and you get two sausages with your sandwich. Peak breakfast hours will mean a long wait but that's expected when the place is that good! read more

This is the sign you've been looking for-- just go, it's worth it. Ordered a BEC, it's my first time so I didn't know it comes automatically with a different cheese then I prefer...Still ate the crumbs and all. When I type in best places to eat, this is what I expect to pop up. read more

There are NO good Bagels in New Hope, so I drive 20+ minutes here. Their Bagels are FRESH, they aren't over baked. Besides Bagels and spreads like Cream Cheese/Butter/Jelly/etc, they have Breakfast Sandwiches and Sandwiches for Lunch. I usually stop for Lunch so I'll do a Combo which will get you a side (Macaroni Salad, Potato Salad or Coleslaw) and a Pickle. I haven't had a combo I didn't like. I haven't tried the Potato Salad or Coleslaw because the Macaroni is so good, I can't not get it. If you like Hoagies, definitely try one here. They are made on Bagel Twists! It's busy on the weekends, so I'd get there early or you risk not getting your favorite kind of Bagel. Egg is mine, and there's been a few times they ran out. Another thing you can do is order online, it makes pick up a lot easier. read more

These were the best bagels ever! The folks in my office descended on them and just devoured them! Also, the ladies at PB were so nice.

People like Ellie S. who give negative reviews due to COVID protocols need to have their heads examined. New Jersey small businesses have been through hell because of Phil Murphy's tyrannical policies. Pennington Bagel is a gem of a place with excellent New Jersey bagels. I would highly recommend supporting them. People should give reviews based on the product, not COVID protocols. Get a life. read more

This is a cute little place. Everything looks clean and appealing. Bagels are very good, and so is the coffee. There are about eight varieties of coffee and lots of lightener options like half-and-half, milk, or almond milk. They have every kind of cream cheese you could want. Everything is very convenient and set up well. Staff is fast and friendly. They make a good egg and cheese breakfast sandwich too. Highly recommend! read more

Great food never bad service, good quality breakfast or lunch it never disappoints! !!

Pennington Bagel Experience sits in the far corner of Pennington Plaza on Route 31, right next to Diamond's. Nearly impossible to see unless you know where to look. The shop is a community hangout with small and large tables for customers, and a bagel centric menu for sandwiches breakfast and lunch. The staff is friendly, helpful and efficient. Coffee is strong and flavorful. Ordering is done in the far right corner next to the large bins holding their precious treasures. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese on onion sammy and retreated to a crumb filled table to await my meal. It arrived quickly with a smile. I liked their rendition of this traditional offering, although it would have been better had the store actually had a grill for the egg and meat preparation. I am not a fan of microwaved eggs, and although very bouffant from the radiation, there was not a yolk to be found. Taste of the egg was bland, but the sausage patty and bagel pulled it through. The bagel was of the light and airy school, which I prefer. I have to remember to ask about the cooking fixtures to avoid the nuked approach to grilling in the future. This Pennington Bagel was generally a good experience, but it could be so much better if they were allowed to use hot steel for cooking. That microwave is holding them back. 3.5 Stars read more

The fact that I've only been to Pennington Bagel a couple times really astounds me because their bagels are great. They're large, doughy and sliced perfectly. Their is a decent assortment of both bagels and spreads, and all of the ones I've tried have been good. My go-to is the whole wheat everything bagel. I love that it is covered in that delicious everything seasoning, as opposed to many bagel places that skimp out on it. I personally enjoy the scallion cream cheese the most, but I'm sure any of their spreads would be a good choice. Staff is friendly and polite, and prices are very reasonable. I've walked out with a bagel and cream cheese for just a few bucks. Pennington Bagel is a fantastic place to stop at for a quick breakfast or lunch fix. I definitely need to make sure to stop here more often when I'm in the area! read more

These just may be the best bagels I have ever tasted. Hands-down. Had the asiago with egg, cheese and bacon and it was phenomenal. I also got a half dozen to go with some of their cream cheese with scallions. Don't even need these toasted. read more

Rude front counter people. I was trying to pick up an online order for a friend and after waiting 10 minutes, the woman behind the counter yells across the counter in front of several people, you don't have an order here. Nothing under that name. Instead of trying to locate the order, which was placed and charged to the cc, could care less about helping me. I will never return. read more

SOLID 4 stars. My sister and I work locally and we were just saying that when we return to the office in September after working from home for the past year and a half, that Pennington Bagel will be one of our first stops. Friendly staff and really good bagels! read more

Pennington Bagel Experience - The pork roll egg and cheese bagel - Delis Near Me - Pennington, New Jersey

Saturday morning was for sure a busy one here, but they were staffed right and very efficient. I'm confused by the layout of this place it kind of backs customers up to the door, and you do have to wait a few minutes to make an order, but the bagels were plentiful and delicious! My boyfriend & I split a plain bagel with some lox and scallion cream cheese which was so decadent and a classic BEC with salt pepper and ketchup. I don't know what kind of eggs they use whether they are from a carton or they're even frozen but they kind of remind me of those egg sandwiches that you'd get at like a Dunkin' Donuts or McDonald's ... not too tasty, but otherwise we both enjoyed ourselves. Lots of warm freshly brewed coffee, I tried their organic Peruvian and it was great. read more

Pennington Bagel Experience - Scallion cream cheese & lox - Delis Near Me - Pennington, New Jersey

We are sort of bias since my fiancé is a longtime Pennington local who lived here most of his childhood. When we were dating he used to take me to this place every time I visited! Their bagels are so fresh and moist with daily batches. It feels homey and they are always busy busy busy! I love their strawberry cream cheese on a toasted cinnamon sugar bagel. It's like dessert! The olive cream cheese on a Swiss cheese bagel is the fiancé's fav! We usually get their loose bagels to go since we live further away now but it is an experience and a trip down memory lane every time we go! read more

I do door dash and have had bagels from many of the shops in the area. Today I came in and picked up the French toast raisin bagel. So far it's the best I've had in the area! The bagel was still moist after toasting and I noticed the powder sugar for the most part stayed on the bagel. Maybe those are funny things to notice, but I love breakfast food lol ‍. read more

To Jerry F and others who might have taken my review as a review of COVID: my original review was not based on COVID protocols. Regardless of COVID, not wearing gloves, touching your face, and the cash register is unsanitary. Those are sanitation protocols. read more

Been coming here since I was 13ish -- so that's a good 18 years of experience -- and to this day if there's a better sausage egg & cheese bagel sandwich out there, I've yet to find it. The bagels aren't the absolute best I've had, but they're close, and always fresh. All the standard variations (especially the egg, egg everything, and pumpernickel) are excellent. I tend to stay away from the desserty bagels (e.g. cinnamon sugar and blueberry crunch or something like that) but they look pretty good too. The coffee is decent. Yeah, it's young HoVal kids working behind the counter and they can be slow/inattentive, but for goodness sake, it's a bagel shop! And it's the best I've ever found in the area. read more

I have been eating there bagels for almost 30 years. The best bagels in the area. They also make bagel sandwiches that are very yummy.

If I could give negative stars, I would. The employees are MISERABLE. They walk to the counter and stare at you, no "how can I help you?", no manners at all. The bagels were decent, that's about the only thing they had going for them until....I had a HAIR in my bagel a few days ago. Absolutely disgusting. They don't wear gloves, they *RINSE* their hands after using the register, no soap, and right back to bagel making. Also, I will join the group that acknowledges that the owner STEALS TIPS!!!!! Giving away free food to customers just to get them to praise you for being 'so generous' is a ridiculous way to boost your business. Give free food away for 5 star reviews, but steal money from the college kids/hard workers doing the work. Not my kind of business. read more

Pennington Bagel Experience - DON'T THINK I ORDERED HAIR. - Delis Near Me - Pennington, New Jersey

I am a big big fan of the bagel sandwiches here. There are at least 20 different bagel sandwich varieties to choose from and there is also a member system where your 10th Bagel sandwich is free. As expected, I would make this my daily lunch spot and for around $5, I cant go wrong. The service, though can be bad. It appears that they may be short staffed at times to handle the lunch hour rush. read more

We recently had a party for our daughter's High School graduation and had PB provide bagel sandwiches. They were very good and the order was ready when expected. My experiences have been positive here. I notice a number of people commenting on the wait for their sandwiches. To this I'd say all bagel shops take time to prepare sandwiches-it's not an off the rack situation like Micky D's. Try it at home and see how long it takes. read more

Best bagel sandwich in town by a long shot. Also the best quality bagels. However, their breakfast egg sandwiches aren't up to par with the competition. (They use microwaved eggs.) For a classic porkroll, egg & cheese, I'd suggest Udo's. I love the #7 here especially on a Swiss or Asiago bagel! Also, if you skip the side on your combo it's cheaper for you broke kids like me. Oh & the staff is notoriously grumpy, but it's gotten better since they discovered the Facebook group "Why Are Pennington Bagel Employees So Mean?" circa 2010. But I miss it honestly, niceness just takes away from the charm. read more
