    Everything egg bagel, fresh lox, homemade cream cheese
    Kathy V.

    Delicious bagels and fresh lox and cream cheese! It's a small place, but there are tables to sit and eat your food.

    Bacon, Egg, and Cheese & Sausage, Egg, and Cheese on everything bagels
    Tim H.

    Sam's bagel never fails when I'm in the area near Nazareth. Whenever I'm craving bagels, this is the spot I go to. Albeit, I stumbled upon it because I was craving bagels (I'm from NYC), so this place popped up first on Yelp. It's in a strip mall area type of place, so finding it was straightforward. When we got there we ordered a whole bunch of stuff (but I'll only post the breakfast sandwiches). Ordered a sausage egg and cheese and a bacon egg and cheese on their everything bagels. Overall - like I said really good bagels. Be mindful though! Timing is everything. They WILL run out of everything bagels, as they should since it's like the most sought out bagel. Their blueberry cream cheese is also really good. I've also tried their lox bagel, which isn't bad but isn't out of this world either. Sam's bagel has been the place I drive to, well over 15-20 minutes, so I just have to time it better to make sure they still have everything bagels when I get there! (They'll sell out sometimes as early as 11am! - or maybe that's just normal?)

    Don't get anything with bacon.
    Bryan S.

    The bagels are good, but every single time we get a breakfast sandwich the bacon is just above raw (very "squishy" and slimy), even when we order it well done, who cares.... It almost seems to come even more undercooked when we ask for it well done. We don't even want it "well done" by normal standards - want it cooked pretty much the same way you get bacon at any other establishment that serves food - this isn't an odd request. We go to Wawa, McDonald's, or any other place for breakfast and never even think about it - we aren't that picky really.

    My rating is based on the plain, everything and sesame bagels. They are probably the best in the area. If you go early in the morning, you can get them almost right out of oven. They are closer to those at NYC. I usually buy them, take them home and split my toppings the way I want.

    First the good: The food is good quality. The bagels are fresh and New York style. They have…read moremany speciality cream cheeses. The lox are good quality. Just about anything you order here you are going to enjoy the taste. Now the bad: Because of the above they are very busy and their infrastructure is horrible. First off they share a very small parking lot with three other businesses. A total of about six spots. Good luck with that. Someone is always parking outside the spaces because of this and you can't get out, if you ever got in to begin with. until they come out and move their car. Its nuts. Now add it is a small place and so when it is busy it is very cramped. Now add you can't fix that well if you are ordering to pick up unless you want to limit your order to what they have on their website. You HAVE to order online. They will not answer their phone. It goes into a taped message that says, "We do not answer our phone." (Why publish a number if you don't answer it?) Now add that they don't have all their items on that website menu. One Example of many: I like both Flagals and Beagules. They have them both, but you can't order them, or a sandwich made with one, from the website. Because of all the above it means a person like myself with severe mobility issues can't get in and out to stay on my feet a shorter period. There is the parking hassle, the long line too order, the long wait after the order. On a busy period it can take you 25-30 minutes on your feet to get in and out of this place. They have three chairs that are usually fully occupied. Though when they see the old half crippled guy with the cane standing someone offers a seat. (always appreciated when it happens) Now add the biggie. All of this comes at a premium. It is Manhattan pricing in the New Jersey burgs at the Bagel House. [check the receipt I posted] The bagels are decently priced but their speciality items... wow. The lox there is $48/lb. Now lox can be damn pricey but where I get mine usually it goes for just over $36/lb. That is $12 less a pound then the Bagel House and the place I get it at is just as good as here. The cream cheeses, also very pricey. If you are going to go here limit yourself to the website, order a sandwich - there is still a premium but no where near what they tack on for by-the-pound and be prepared to deal with the parking shuffle and the wait. For me, the food is good but I can't deal with the rest. I admit my bum pins make me a special case but I am not fond of places that make no consideration for their handicapped customers. And this place's infrastructure is badly thought through. I get it as a start up but this place is doing well and been around for awhile. For these prices they need a bigger place, with more parking, and someone to answer the phone.

    A lot can improve:…read more 1) if you don't like to wear your cream cheese, do not come here. They will put a cup of cream cheese on your bagels and I'm not kidding. Not the first time ordering from this place. I always ask for light cream cheese and they add an extra cup! It ridiculous 2) coffee always tastes burnt. Why do I come here you ask, because it's close to home, a small biz and I want to support but it's not worth it. 3) does their POS not have a "light on cream cheese option" does it not print onto the kitchens printer? 4) of you really want to come here, pre-order the food and pick up only. Don't bother walking in to order. Small space barely anywhere to stand. Need to always walk through and around people. 5) no tables no chairs ... well, there are two chairs to sit on while waiting. Good luck being the sitter. Again overly crowded. 6) unorganized. I ordered, waiting about 10-15 min when I finally got up and asked where my food was. I was met with an attitude by one of the women saying they are busy that's why. I just asked a question and just as it's your right to be busy, it's my right to inquire about my food that is taking longer than a diner. Poor treatment, attitude, no listening skills.
