Blueberry French toast, bagel with sweet cream, cream cheese
Jen G.

Bagelicious! Great variety, fresh bagels galore! We loved the unique bagel flavors: Doritos, captain crunch, blueberry French toast, and Cheetos! Yes, for traditional bagel eaters the sesame with veggie cream cheese is fantastic! Loved the tie-dye bagel with strawberry cream cheese (real strawberries)! You will not be disappointed! There are also many breakfast options... And more savory bagel, sandwiches, roast, beef, fried chicken, and of course, an egg bagel delight!

It is supposed to be a Greek omlette but 90% of the filling was just onions.

Service could not be worse. I ordered online in advance. When I arrived they showed me my order receipt and said it will be ready soon. They cleared the line 3 times and after half hour, I asked for an ETA. The guy went to the back and said "8 moreminutes." I paid 20% extra to order online and tipped. To make matters worse, when I opened my food order, the bagel was not sliced and had no spread and the filling of my "greek omlette" was almost all onions... really?

Different types of cream cheeses

My first time coming to 'The Bagel Nook' for a bagel with cream cheese for a breakfast/brunch with my sister. She came for a few days, so I'm spending the day with her. The service was face paced and the servant was very polite and nice. The atmosphere and environment is very clean and well respected. I would definitely come back here again. Definitely recommend this place to anyone to try. Give them a try!! #GetYaHookOn #HookOn #GetYaBagelAndCreamCheeseOn #BreakfastOn #YummyFoodies #SisterTime

Mini m&m donut

Amazing stuff going on here, love the variety of the menu. Got a jalapeño cheddar bagel with sausage egg and cheese, really good. Kids got m&m donut and cinna toast crunch bagel, both were also good but too sweet for my breakfast. We also grabbed a bacon, egg, and potato platter, which was large and delicious. Plenty of seating in the place. A lot of to-go orders and varieties of coffees and beverages. When it's busy you know it's good and they were busy, but it went quick. Cannot wait to return. Check them out! Sorry only got a donut pic; next time.

The good news: pleasant spacious area/ good selections. The bad news: I ordered a toasted sesame bagel-VEGGIE CREAM cheese on side. a few shredded carrots & few spots of scallions(?) for $2.75 JUST FOR THE CREAM CHEESE. would be fine if there were actually some veggies in it.

Before going to Color Me Mine, we grabbed a quick breakfast at The Bagel Nook. We were greeted by an impressively creative assortment of bagel flavors and cream cheese. However, we ended up getting the onion bagel with egg, avocado, and scallion cream cheese. Our bagel had a healthy amount of everything and it was delicious! I loved every ingredient and next time I might consider adding in a hash brown. I loved my experience at The Bagel Nook and there is plenty of seating inside. Definitely try it if you're in Princeton!

What is on the vegan breakfast sandwich?

While we don’t have a vegan breakfast sandwich on the menu. We do serve several flavors of tofu based vegan cream cheese available every day. You could pair those with almost all bagels that are also vegan. Feel free to ask the staff to let you know… Read more

I've always come to this strip mall to dine at Nomad. However, due to recommendations from my…read morefriends, we decided to give Pastiamo a shot. Normally we stay away from pasta restaurants unless there's something unique to it. However, Pastiamo hit a home run immediately. From Chef Francesca being ever present in the restaurant - from serving to seating - to the homemade focaccia you receive as a starter, it was an impeccable dining experience. Then you add the nice plates and simple, yet warm decor. You just can't go wrong. We split the forza Italia as an appetizer to get more of a focaccia kick. We loved the homemade bread. The three cheeses were a nice and complimentary touch. Also, dousing this with some freshly squeezed orange juice didn't hurt. For the main course, we split a pesto gnocchi and a tagliatelle alla Norma. The pasta was truly homemade. Felt super fresh. The sauces were great and not too oily or salty. It was so good that we decided to bring some home to my parents. We will be back again!

TLDR: delicious foods with quality ingredients…read more Pastiamo is a cute little sit down restaurant with bright decor and a modern, casual feel. I tried the burrata dip and lasagna, which were both beyond my expectations. The burrata dip was milky and rich with sweet / umami bursts of tomato. Paired with thin focaccia and savory crisps, the appetizer made for amazing bites that I still think about. The lasagna was rich and flavorful. Layers of rich meat sauce, cheese, and bechemal were savory, nutty, hearty - a satisfying bite on the colder days. The casual appearance had me fooled me a bit on the price, especially the burrata dip. I definitely had some sticker shop. The dip was $18 and the lasagna was around $24. Both these prices are reasonable for the area but were more expensive than I would pay for a casual lunch. It's also a bit too casual for me to consider for a nicer dinner, so Pastiamo falls in a gray zone for me on the pricing. I loved the food here and would come back more often if there were lunch deals or cheaper options I loved the food and would come back more ofte

Yet, I can confidently say that none of those works can even slightly compare to the chicken parmigiana I had from this establishment. From the moment you step foot into this small, quaint Italian restaurant, you are fully immersed in Italian culture. After being shown to our table, a jovial waiter immediately greeted us with plenty of different water options and spoke of extravagant specials, describing them so convincingly that I almost ordered them all. But after a quick glimpse at the menu, I knew exactly what I wanted. One of my favorite dishes in the entire world is a good, classic chicken parm though I'll admit, I'm very picky about this popular dish. As the chicken parm arrived at the table, I instantly knew this was no ordinary pizza-joint parm. This was a masterpiece. When my knife pierced the chicken, a beautiful crisp echoed throughout the dining room as steam poured out of the perfectly cooked cutlet. And then came the first bite. I immediately began to cry. This was no ordinary bite--this was liberation. My taste buds were freed. After years of searching for the perfect chicken parm, I had finally found it. I am forever indebted to La Mezzaluna and its lovely staff. Not only did they introduce my taste buds to the greatest chicken dish I've ever had, but they also helped create a wonderful night with a lovely date. I will absolutely be returning, and I look forward to the next time I can indulge in their legendary chicken parm.

The interior is nice and the manager very accommodating. The food was fine, but given the number of Italian restaurants in the area, La Mezzaluna did not blow me away. We tried the Eggplant Rollatini and Soup for appetizer. Both were fine. For our entrees, we had the Chicken Al Vino Blanco, Barramundi, and Vegetarian Risotto. All of the entrees were a bit on the bland side. However, the Tiramisu for dessert was delicious. Overall a nice experience. A solid 3.5. However, not as great as some of the other Italian restaurants in Central Jersey.

The strip mall itself isn't anything special, but the surrounding area is beautiful , and once you're inside, the restaurant feels warm and inviting. The food is fantastic, and the variety on the menu is impressive. The chef clearly knows what they're doing because every single dish we tried was genuinely delicious. It's the kind of spot where you can't go wrong: date night, dinner with friends, or anything in between. We brought our own bottle and had a great time. Our waiter was super knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. The staff even joked around with me when I forgot my to‑go bag, and yes, I absolutely took it home because the food is that good. I also appreciate that they don't act like offering takeout is beneath them; even the takeout bag was nice. I honestly wish my meals were this good every night. I hope everyone who works here is paid well and enjoys what they do, because they're running the place exactly how a restaurant should be run. It feels like a true community staple somewhere that transports you a bit and makes the whole experience feel special. Lovely all around.

Our guests were so impressed by the quality of the food as well as the over ambiance of the restaurant.

Everything else was just average-and that makes me really sad because I have been looking to try this place FOREVER, especially since we had our wedding reception at their sister restaurant that closed almost twenty years ago--and their food blew me away. Collectively, we ordered calamari- bland, arancini-delicious, crispy eggplant-bland and dry. I ordered the crab agnolotti which was just, well.... bland. My mom's salmon seemed to be cooked well, we asked for medium and that's what she got. The tiramisu was good, and I am not generally a fan. The mocktail that ordered-basil gimlet was a nice balance of sweet and sour. Overall, really giving it a 3.5 but based upon comparison to my other 4 star ratings, I had to bring it down a bit. An overall nice experience, but since the food is the star... I'm not sure if I will return.
