Amazing bagels 10/10. A bunch of college students recommended this place and I can see why. The owner was so incredibly kind and the bagels and different cream cheese flavors were delicious. read more

Tried this spot during a trip to NJ looking for a good bagel spot for our morning breakfasts. I got an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and it was great! They have lots of bagel choices and cream cheese options including a tofu cream cheese. Quick good service even with tons of customers ordering. We sat outside and enjoyed our food. If I'm in the area again I would definitely come back. read more

Independent bagel shops are a treasure, and Sonny's Bagels keeps up this trend nicely. Stopping by on a weekday during my kid's spring break, we got a cinnamon raisin bagel, toasted with butter. While I was surprised to see that toasting costs an extra 25 cents, the portion of butter slathered on both halves of the sliced bagel was enough to make me temporarily forget the added expense. The servers were nice and efficient, and the decor harks back to its longtime presence in South Orange. We were also surprised to find that they're expanding into the space next door, into what used to be a pizzeria, with a brighter ambiance and plenty of seating. We'll be back! read more

Located near the Seton Hall campus, Sonny's Bagels is the place to go for a quick, delicious bite. Our bagels were delicious. The two young ladies that helped us were awesome. Not only did they assist us with our order, they were nice enough to give us guidance on other businesses around town. Both were very kind and courteous. Sonny's has a cool bench spot outside to enjoy your treat. Make sure to visit Sonny's Bagels the next time you are in the Seton Hall area. read more

So I've been looking for a good bagel spot that opens early and gives my those Bklyn bagel shop vibes. I've been searching for years and I finally found one!! The bagels are small than Bklyn bagels so I was skeptical but once I tasted it I was pleasantly surprised!! It was soft and warm and flavorful!! I ordered an everything with cream cheese. Nothing crazy because this was my first time there. The staff was nice and friendly. There were a couple older gentleman ahead of me on line. And you could tell they were regulars give the rapport they had with the workers there. It was nice to see it made it feel like your local neighborhood bagel shop. Good service, Good bagels, inviting atmosphere! I will definitely go back again and again and again! read more

Simply amazing Great owner and staff, and the updated place is gonna be off the hook. great choices and amazing pricing read more

Been to Sonny's a handful of times now so I'm comfortable leaving an honest review. Just a disclaimer, I've gotten the exact same Thing every time. Cream cheese, lox, tomato, onion. Clearly they are doing a good job if I returned. Fresh is the key and they have good bagels. I have other bagel shops closer to work, but Sonny's has delivered consistently so I continue coming. Give them a try if you already haven't. ENJOY!!! read more

Top notch bagels and now with a sit down area! Excellent smoked fish and even have non dairy cream cheese on request. Owner and staff are super nice. read more

Best bagels we have had so far here in Essex County. We are kind of bagel snobs, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness of both the bagels and cream cheeses make for such a tasty bagel. We have not tried the smoked fish yet, but it looks tantalizing. read more

Bagels were still fresh and amazing right before closing and the staff/managers were super friendly! We were just passing through but they made sure to convince us to come back again. read more

I have been going to Sonny's for over 20 years. great bagels btw and the current owner is a gem. However the last few times I went I always get the same young lady taking my order, I watch her laugh and giggle with everyone else but I don't event get a Hello. I went today, when I was next in line she didn't even greet me, just looked, I asked if mini bagels were available she dismissively said NO. I was going to order a regular bagel but her rudeness was so off putting I just left. read more

Best Bagels anywhere. Had my first Sonny's Bagel in 1971 and they were the best then and still are today !

Where do I begin? I went on a Sunday for the first time at around 10am and it was packed. The store is dated, with dust bunnies. They really need a paint job but Im sure if they do sadly the bagels wouldn't be this delicious. I ordered 2 bagels with Lox and Cream cheese toasted and I think I died and went to Heaven. Both the Lox and Cream Cheese was placed generously on the bagel. It was toasted to perfection. Crunchy and warm on the outside and soft on the inside. Im originally from NYC so trust me when I tell you I know a good bagel and this here is pretty effin good. When my Husband and I finished I said I think i just found one of my add ons when I host brunch at the house. They have every bagel you can think off. They even have plain mini to satisfy your guilty pleasure. The staff was friendly and fast. The price was $22 for two bagels with lox and a plain cinnamon raisin bagel, which is worth it. I will most certainly return. read more

There are obviously a lot of places to get good bagels in NYC/N. NJ. But this morning I had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese from Sonny's, and it was the best bagel I've ever eaten. read more

Amazing bagels. Variety of cream cheese. Fantastic service. Jason is always super kind. The young ladies working are the sweetest.

Not sure what's going on there. Here is the whitefish sandwich. Great except for the fact that there is barely any whitefish. $9. Bummer read more

They absolutely have the best bagels but the WORST customer service . Every time I call to put in an order I'm being put on hold for 5-10 minutes, I wish they could do better with the wait and hold times. read more

On a random Sunday morning, the line is 25+ deep, before 9am, line moves quickly, servers are attentive, well trained. Very good experience.

Best bagels ... better than my NYC faves & owner & staff are super kind!! Delicious bagels, spreads, and happy they are expanding!

First tried this place back in December 2022. Bagels are made fresh daily. You know this bagel place is serious when my girlfriend's best friend whose about 2hrs from NJ comes to Sonny's for breakfast. My girlfriend ordered bagels to travel with she's very serious about their bagels also lol. I had a strawberry cream cheese bagel and my girlfriend had the cream cheese chive one. I highly recommend the bagels they are really good. read more

Popular bagel shop amongst many other shops in town. Tired the plan bagel with cream cheese and jelly it was pretty good love that the bagels are fresh read more

Worker jb gave me a whole free meal, with a banana and drink just because I was wearing my army pt uniform. I really tried pressing that I would like to pay even though the gesture was appreciated and he still insisted, on top of that the bagel was the best ive had in this area. Everything fresh and delicious. Say whats up to jb for me, absolute stand up dude. This business supports our country, (which means a lot in modern times) ill be going here for a while. Absolutely 100/10 ownership/workers read more

My 6am bagel run to Sonny's was well worth it! I purchased a dozen of bagels (they gave me 2 extra) and a container of plain cream cheese. My family thoroughly enjoyed the bagels and even asked when I was going back again! This is a small, no-frills bagel shop located on the very busy South Orange Ave. There's street parking only, so I suggest visiting Sonny's early in the morning before the other stores open up. They have all of the traditional bagel flavors- cinnamon raisin, poppy seed, garlic & more! They also have an assortment of cream cheese flavors to choose from. The two ladies that help me were very nice and friendly at 6am which says a lot! They greeted me with a warm hello as soon as I walked in, and thanked me for coming before I left!! I've totally been missing out this whole time by getting bagels from DD! Sonny's will be my new go-to spot when I'm craving a fresh bagel w/ cream cheese! Yum read more

I go to Sonny's pretty regularly for their excellent bagels. We also recently had them cater an event for about 50 people, and both the food and the service were fantastic. Everything was handled with a personal touch. I'd definitely go to Sonny's again for a catered event. read more

Old school Bagels. Great nova and herring. Rediscovered Sonny's a year and a half ago after I started seeing someone in the area . The icing on the cake? We just finished the Seder and ate 4 pieces of Gefilte fish purchased from Sonny's this AM. Best I've had in 20 years. read more

BEST BAGELS EVER. I have Been eating these as breakfast for years bagels are DELICIOUS when first ordered but do get stale fast. I definitely recommend getting cinnamon raisin bagels with plain crème cheese and adding everything bagel seasoning to the cream cheese- trust me. Best thing you'll ever try.Do come here fresh warm food served pretty fast. LOVE. read more

Extremely kind staff will serve you extremely delicious, extremely fresh bagels. Very few frills. No griddle. It's all about the bagels, and the bagels are fantastic. Sonny's has not fallen victim to the bagel size inflation trend. I consider that a good thing. They're great! read more

Great little hole in the wall bagel spot. Excellent service. The girls working the counter are fast and polite. The only con is no grill. All kinds of cream cheese and spreads. read more

Best bagels ever. Tried their everything bagel with lox cream cheese, cinnamon raisin with plain Cc. I have tried a lot of bagel places in NYC. This one aces the game. Staff is friendly, service is quick. A nice warm feeling when u walk in. read more

Great bagels. Service is great as Cary & Jenna went to find variety I wanted as patiently as can be. The go-to bagel spot.

Simply the best. Their service, especially Carianne, makes me continue to come back. They go above and beyond (like when they texted to let me know a fresh batch of their famous Hummus was being made--tip, made Wed or Thurs and is sold out fast). Try their Salmon Tartare. Its 10/10. read more

I've been a regular customer of Sonny's Bagels since moving to the area five years ago. It's absolutely no surprise that Sonny's was voted among the top bagel shops in NJ! If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity dive into that delicious fluffiness when the bagels come out of the oven it's the balm. The fixins' are also great (especially if you're a fan of smoked fish). And Jason is one of the friendliest and kindest shop owners I ever had the pleasure of meeting. read more

So good, came in town visiting from Texas and tried this place and it did not disappoint!

No grill, bagels sucked too, not sure why the great reviews here, was literally one of the worst breakfasts I've ever had
