Best bagels in Teaneck. Definitely worth the drive from New Milford there. Best bagels. Service is fast. Small place pick ups only.

Teaneck Road Hot Bagels is a highly-rated, kosher bagel shop in Teaneck, New Jersey, famous for its fresh, hot bagels with a crispy exterior and soft, chewy interior, earning it national recognition from publications like Food & Wine, NJ.com, and Fodor's Travel. Located on Teaneck Road, it has good exposure, and should do very well. All of this is what brought me there and it did not disappoint. Thank goodness that I called in my order, because when I opened their door, the place was packed with happy customers. The shop is not large, but they offer a lot more than just bagels. The plain and pumpernickel bagels were just as I mentioned and I can see why they received a high rating. read more

As a prediabetic, if I'm having carbs first thing in the morning, it better be worth it. And the bagels here are absolutely worth it. This spot has all the energy, busyness, and no-frills attitude of a true New York bagel spot...with the benefit of a large, free parking lot. And thank goodness for that, because there was already a messy line in the foyer area on a Sunday morning. If that worries you, know that the guys behind the counter know how to work a crowd. Find a spot to stand and wait to catch the eye of one of these guys shouting, "Next! Who's next?!" It's a little hectic, but I feel it made me all the more excited to get to my car and chow down. As someone who was raised by city bagels, I'm usually poised to disdain any other bagel, but this place holds its own. During my short visit, I watched several fresh batches of steaming hot, fresh bagels being poured into the baskets...and then quickly depleting as the weekend crowds ordered them by the dozens. I got a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese, and it was just perfect. Strong sesame seed coverage, with a light, crispy exterior and beautiful chew on the inside. AND - most importantly - the right amount of schmear. I've seen some reviews knock a star or two because this place doesn't offer breakfast sandwich options, but I imagine adding those to the menu would just slow service down immensely. If you're someone who's not hot on the cream cheese, there's also a variety of spreads, like tuna salad and lox. Some other random details: This looks like an old school joint in every way, but they accept both cash and credit card. There's no seating inside, so plan to either eat in your car or rush home. If you're planning on placing a larger order, they accept advance orders over the phone. read more

Finally made it to this bagel place which was in my list since so long and it was so worth it!!! I have heard local people raving about Teaneck Hot Bagels and yes it did live upto all the hype. The place is family owned and you can see them making fresh bagels in the back. We went with everything bagel with scallion cream cheese and other one with vegetable garlic cream cheese - both were pretty amazing! The bagel is soft inside and crispy outside. It is so light and that fresh cream cheese is cherry on top! Definitely the best bagel place in Bergen county. read more

While the bagels were pretty good I was really disappointed that they didn't have a grill.. travelled to nj /ny/ pa to see family and stayed in Teaneck (not my original hometown) but got bagels b4 we left for pa. Went in on the hopes of having a breakfast sandwich and they don't have a grill- very unfortunate. Bagels were good though, good flavor and taste and fresh. read more

Went to visit my parents and they are big fans of this place. There are many bagel spots closer to where they live but they will make the drive here because it's just that great. They make the bagels fresh on location and they have many cream cheese options. I ordered the multigrain bagel with walnut raisin cream cheese but forgot to take a picture before I ate it. My sister got a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and that's always her go-to. Service is fast and the staff is friendly - definitely worth the trip here! read more

Teaneck Road Hot Bagels - Sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese - Delis Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

I do not understand what the rage is all about. I was here this morning, Monday the15th at 7:45 am. First of all please note that they do not have a grill so no TECTESPK. AKA - A Taylor Egg and Cheese on a toasted everything, salt pepper ketchup. Such a let down as it is my go-to order at a bagel shop. I ended up getting an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. The bagel's consistency was not right. A bagel should be crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The bagel tasted rock hard exterior and needed to refill my yeti to get it down. There are so many other better options locally. read more

Solid bagels with a great texture. When toasted, they have a nice crisp on the outside while staying soft and chewy on the inside. The only downside is that ordering can get a bit chaotic during busy times. read more

My brother- in- law raves so much about Teaneck Road Hot Bagels. He says he's doomed once he starts his new job in a few weeks because he will be making a stop every day because it is that good. I'll be trying out their bagels next time. We went in to pick up a bagel with my brother-in- law. I have never seen a bagel place where you can see the bagels piled up along the glass. Visually it looked cool. Our lil guy was standing there and staring at the customers. Keep the fresh bagels comin' read more

This is my first time visiting this bagel shop, it's 6:30 a.m. It wasn't very busy when I arrived. A lady asked what I was getting. I said, "I'm getting BEC on a plain bagel." I assumed they'd have bacon, egg, and cheese, just like in NY, but they don't have meat. She asked, "Tomatoes? Lettuce?" I replied, "Yes, tomatoes and lettuce, please." "Are you only getting one bagel?" I replied, "Yes." She turned around and flicked her hand as if I were annoying her. I didn't see her face, but one can imagine how it looked. I wanted to get coffee, but I changed my mind. Her attitude already ruined my appetite. Before I visited this place, I asked Google what the best bagel shop in NJ was, and this store came up. $9.98 for a tuna spread on a plain bagel with lettuce and tomatoes - reasonably priced. She prepared it fast, less than 5 minutes. Am I going to return to this shop? - No Should you try their bagel? - Yes, the ingredients were fresh, the tuna spread tastes good too. Lesson: You may have the best bagel in NJ, but how you treat your customer still matters. Recommendations: A little touch of smile when you greet your customer. A little "Thank you, please come back again." will surely not hurt you. "I'm sorry we don't have meat in our menu." Remember, you might be the first person you encounter in the morning, and you will surely influence their mood. read more

I love me an everything bagel, with lox spread. Came here upon recommendation, did not disappoint! They added a reasonable amount of cream cheese, added tomato and onions alongside the smoked salmon. Only side note; add a bit more salmon, they only add a sliver. The bagel was soft and chewy, very filling and delicious. Would recommend to anyone around the area, seems quite busy, the folks love them. read more

Teaneck Road Hot Bagels - Lox spread, everything bagel - Delis Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

Hands down best bagels that I've had in New Jersey. I'm a transplant from New York and it took me about 5 years of living here before I came across this bagel shop .. I guess good things come to those who wait. These bagels are made on the premises so they are always hot & fresh. There is plenty of parking in the back as well as street parking. It can get a little crowded but that's part of their ambiance. Stop by and a dozen bagels and try out their different delicious cream cheeses. Enjoy! read more

Love this place. Great bagels. Topped with Gigi s smile. Our favorite - toasted everything bagels with lox spread or plain with strawberry cream cheese. Sooo good. read more

The reviews are true, this is the best bagel out there. Perfectly warm, and the right amount of cream cheese. Soft and chewy on the inside. I wish I was a local so I could have one every morning! read more

Still great bagels actually in the midst of so many bagel shops. This place has the Best bagels in the area. Note they do not serve breakfast sandwiches with meats and cheese. Just cream cheese and they have muffins. read more

This was my first time trying NJ Bagels. I am a fan of NY Bagels so I was curious how NJ bagels differed from NY bagels. I visited Teaneck Road Hot Bagels. I got an everything bagel w scallion cream cheese. The bagel was fresh and warm, just like the name of the business suggests. The bagel was soft and pillowy with slight chew, though not as much as a NY Bagel. It was lacking in the amount of seasoning and I wish the cream cheese had more scallions in it but overall it was pretty delicious! read more

Stopped by Teaneck Road Hot Bagels around 7:30 AM, and the place was bustling with people coming and going--always a good sign! I ordered a lox sandwich with capers, onions, and cream cheese on an everything bagel, and it was so good. The bagels have that perfect crisp exterior with a dense, soft inside--exactly how a bagel should be. I do wish we had asked for it toasted, though, as that would've taken it to the next level. The staff were very pleasant and accommodating, even with the morning rush, which made the experience even better. They have a great variety of bagels, and we picked up a dozen for about $15, which felt like a solid deal. We had them for breakfast the next morning, toasted this time, and they were definitely even better. We also grabbed some cream cheese from there--definitely pricier than what you'd find at the grocery store, but we needed it at the time, so no big deal. Overall, great spot for fresh bagels with friendly service. We'll definitely be back (but we'll remember to toast next time!). read more

One of the better made bagel shops around! It's hard to mess up a bagel when you are on the East Coast, but you still can. This place is the holy grail of all bagel shops and it competes with the best of them... doughy, fluffy, flavorful- this place means business! Came in around 9:30am and it was packed, but the line was moving. Plenty of staff to take your order so come in knowing what you want. I can eat a bagel by itself if it's fresh out of the oven. Why mess with perfection when it's freshly made, and one bite is not the rule... not with this carb masterpiece! Why I did not give it a full 5 star is based solely on my opinion... --No bagel sandwiches (cold or hot). No eggs and no deli meats... just spreads and fish (tuna, white, salmon lox). --Each bagel is not made equally. Consistency is key when crafting one of these bad boys, and if they are not equal in size, shape or toppings then I feel cheated. --The tuna sandwich I also got was quite tasty with a nice soft roll, BUT, they did not have shredded lettuce or other condiments other than lettuce, tomatoes (extra fee) and onions for this sandwich... I like my tuna sandwich with: shredded lettuce, onions, hot peppers and oil & vinegar- in which they did not have. Other than that, fresh made bagels round the clock with a selection of spreads and plenty of staff to assist makes this a great spot. You won't be disappointed if you are looking for a legit bagel. FYI: Parking is located in the back and side of building, and is shared with the other businesses in the small shopping center. read more

I used to have a local bagel place in Jersey City but their bagels have gotten smaller and a little harder. So on a quest to find a good bagel replacement, we went to Yelp and came upon Teaneck Road Hot Bagels. They had great ratings and although a little drive over, it was doable if we found the food to be worth it. So we took a drive over to Teaneck, ordered our bagels, and when we bit into their warm and soft bagels, and knew we'd find our replacement place. We've first visited this place two years ago, and we've made the drive over a dozen times since. The staff is friend, the service is quick, you never have to wait long, and pricing is reasonable. read more

I finally found my go to bagel spot at in North Jersey! Prepare to wait in line on the weekends, but it moves fast! Love that I can get a hot bagel fresh from the oven. Great spreads, especially their lox spread! Plenty of parking in the back too! read more

Had a craving, yelped came to the rescue. The place was packed with a line 10 deep out the door. Surprisingly it was only a 10 minute wait including ordering. Staff is super fast and friendly. The bagels are fresh right off the presses. Prices are reasonable. The place is busy for a reason. You can't go wrong here. First time visiting but I'm sold and will definitely be back. Hot bagels, you're on fire - in! read more

Teaneck Road Hot Bagels - Everything lox and cream cheese w the works. Capers, onion and tomato! - Delis Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

I read this place was on the top of a few Best Bagel lists and they were exactly right. Heard ts is one of the few places that still "hand rolls" its bagels. Whatever they are doing is on the money. First... this is a bagel store. Not a luncheonette. Not a grill. There is NO grill. Go there for some great bagels. Great assortment spreads. Various cream cheeses ( the lox spread is the best!), butter, jelly, etc. But NO taylor ham, bacon or sausage. Just perfectly made crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside bagels. Plenty of hot\cold beverages. Parking lot on the side. note: if you walk in and it looks like a huge crowd, do not worry. (at least) on weekends they have massive staff and they keep the customers moving fast. Highly recommended read more

It's always a blessing going here. The staff is always amazing. They can get extremely busy but that shows how much people love their brand and their service. The bagels are always amazing.

Third time here and I don't get the love people have for this place. Staff is super friendly, bags are ok, and nothing in the cold case is labeled so it's a guessing game. If you like a soft chewy bagel, this is your place. If you like a crunch with the outside of your bagel, this isn't your place. But I guess my biggest issue is where's the scallions?! It's like a speck in your watered down cream cheese. Not a fan and will be going back to my regular and favorite bagel spot instead. read more

Bagels, oh have I missed thee. In the 30 years I have been away from the tristate area, I have never found bagels that compared favorably with those in Ny/NJ. When I found myself in Teaneck, home of the number one rated bagel shop in New Jersey, i traversed the 2 miles from the hotel uphill both ways (jk - I took a rideshare) and grabbed two dozen of these perfectly prepared delights. Most of them even made it back to Las Vegas with me. Road Hot Bagels certainly earned its reputation with the right amount of chewy goodness on the outside and soft inner dough. I may have to stay in teaneck every trip back east. read more

The reason for the 1 star is because of a sanitary situation that happens this morning, 3/6/26, in the store watching them taking out the " everything bagel" when one fell onto to floor, I watch this white hair man, about 6ft he doesn't work there regularly so I assume he may be the owner, pick up the bagel from off the floor an just casually put it back into the box they use to put bagel,I look at him and said "really" twice, I can see he was a little uncomfortable because he look at me then turn his eyes away and refuse to look back at me, I knew he knew I was still staring at him, am so mad at myself for not calling him out, I ended up tossing my breakfast in the garbage, I have been going there for over 30yrs, yeah that long, am just shock that he pick it up off the floor that everyone walked on with about 8-12 in the store, that morning, am so so mad I walk out without saying something, I guess it's a reminder that we all should be cooking at home, lot of these business is about profit plain and simple. read more

This everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, and lox bagel was worth it! It came up to $14.XX. My first reaction was like "a god damnnnn". But that feeling went out the door on first bite. Will definitely cop this again but once a month. Lmao. Staff was friendly. Ambiance? well it's a bagel shop.. read more

Teaneck Road Hot Bagels - Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, and lox - Delis Near Me - Teaneck, New Jersey

One of my favorite local bagel spots! Miss their bagels even after I moved from the area. The bagels are the perfect size with right ratio of gluten fluffiness on the inside with crunch factor on the exterior. The assortment of cream cheese is enough to overwhelm any new customer but they are all good from the plain to the scallion cream cheese to the lox option. Lines can be long and out the door at times depending on the time of day you arrive. Highly recommend to those that haven't tried this spot! read more

I've been searching for a great bagel ever since our little bagel shop in Glen Rock closed. After more than 8 years of looking, I believe I've found the PERFECT bagel. They're soft and chewy, yet crispy, even after we've had them in the freezer for a couple of weeks. We're now living in Hillsdale, but making the 15-20 minute drive to Teaneck Road Hot Bagels is definitely worth it. We think they make THE best bagels in all of Bergen County! Trust me, you will not be disappointed! Now, if I could only find a great bialy. read more

Saw this place in an article of "best bagel places in the country," so I had to go. I would give them 5 stars but we couldn't complete or order. They don't do egg and cheese or breakfast meat egg and cheese sandwiches there. Which was fine with me because I got a bagel with cream cheese and lox... Which was excellent! I would certainly go back for this, but no one in my family eats it :-( Their bagels are really good and nice sized. If you're looking for a local spot and not a breakfast sandwich, check them out. read more
