It wasn't bad. It was just too soft. Almost like they forgot to bake the bagel after boiling. More of a dense roll, than a bagel. Not bad though. read more

Use to be LEGENDARY!!! expensive double what it use to be over ten dollars for breakfast sandwich and customer service is not there.

Never disappoints ! Bagel dogs are to die for . Staff is very friendly and they are my go to when in the area ! Fresh right outa the oven is the best ! Thank you !! read more

Nice shop with a lovely and lively ambience. The owners and staff are super friendly and helpful. To top it all off the bagels really are the best in New Jersey, soft and amazing proportions for their cost. The sandwiches as well are phenomenal for their cost. It felt like it was a steal with their cheap prices and amazing taste read more

Again the Bagel Station is never a disappointment. The establishment is clean with limited seating. The staff as always courteous and welcoming. Someone from our party ordered the coffee and mentioned it was one of the better coffees they had; and strongly recommend. The bagels and especially their hero/subs are by far one the better places and continue to be the best; freshly made on site. Thank you Greg! read more

One of our favorite local bagel places. Great bagels every time. Fresh ingredients for sandwiches. Friendly hometown service.

Best bagels in the world always busy always worth the wait. Best sausage egg and cheese on an Asiago bagel that you will ever have on your life. read more

The tast is above all. I traver over 70 miles for one way for these bagels that's how good they are.

Bagels are really good and fresh. Call ahead to guarantee what you want. They also have a good selection of whipped cream cheeses!

The restaurant is amazing! It does a great job of representing true Jersey Bagels and their Taylor ham egg and cheese with salt pepper and ketchup bagels have an outstanding quantity of ham on them. The staff were also very kind and talkative. 10/10 Will be back soon! The ambiance embodied what you want when going to grab bagels with nice outdoor seating as well. read more

Wow, just wow! When the sign outside says best bagel in NJ, I think of Elf. But they lived up to the hype. I'm not even sure how to describe the bagel because it was that good. Packed with flavor and super soft. Good everything topping (although I like a little salt in mine). The sandwich as a whole was fantastic! The two eggs were fried, not scrambled, which is how it should be cooked in my opinion. The Taylor Ham was heated perfectly and the addition of the Swiss fits great with the flavor profile. The you add that killer bagel to it and I found what may have been the top three breakfast sandwiches I have had. The fact this is directly on my way to work is dangerous, it is definitely habit forming! read more

Fresh food friendly staff will be back here for more the bagels and bread always fresh

Passing through and saw the colorful signage so we had to stop, and it was a great option. The shop was busy and I bet it stays that way. Tons of options. We got the French Toast bagel with plain cream cheese and a cheddar cheese bagel with double egg, Taylor ham and cheese. They put ketchup on the sandwich, very different since we are southern and use mayo. It was very good. Easy 5 stars and we loved the décor bearing faces and signatures of many famous people. read more

Needed some grub before hitting the links at Ballyowen and found this bagel place. After reading the reviews it seems like the customer service is sometimes not up to par but I didn't experience this. They make a bold claim that they have the best bagels in NJ. I love the confidence. I ordered a plain bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel was really solid. The outside was crunchy and the inside was soft. The veggie cream cheese had loads of veggies in it. I would order that again any day of the week! The crumb cake is right there on the counter and so I had to order. They give you a big portion and it is moist and lovely. I also tried the corn muffin and it was also really good. Most corn muffins are dry and this one wasn't. Best bagels in NJ? Not sure but definitely up there. The only negative reviews are for the customer service so if they get that figured out they should be good! read more

Fantastic food and great atmosphere. Employees are amazing and take care of you. Very quick service. In and out

People need to take food allergies seriously. This store doesn't. I bought a pizza bagel. I asked the woman if it have onions, and she said no. I asked a second time if the tomato sauce on the bagel had onions in it, and she said no. When I got home and took a bite I saw the white small bits of onions in it the tomato sauce. Allergies are dangerous. When a customer asks twice and are still given the incorrect information, this is not acceptable. read more

They have the best bagels in the Sparta area. Sandwiches are yummy and filling. Great selection of cream cheeses

Amazing food and service ! Thank you for amazing bagels! We love the jalapeño bagel with veggie cream cheese! Crumbcake is amazing too!

Some of the best bagels in New Jersey! I often get some when I'm traveling through the area and we'll take especially sandwiches if I'm heading off to the airport. Sorry no photos this time as I gobble down my Taylor ham and egg quickly. read more

Haven't been here in a long time, stopped in for 2 bagels with cream cheese. My everything bagel with veggie cream cheese was awesome, plenty of cream cheese, super soft bagel. However, the other bagel which was everything (the bagel part was great) had, what the board said, cheddar bacon cream cheese. It was actually bacon, cheddar, and horseradish. My husband hates horseradish (I know, it's crazy) but I love it so we traded bagels. While it was tasty for me, the horseradish was WAY too strong to not be listed as an ingredient. I actually threw the second half of the bagel away. Still love the bagels and will still go back! read more

For the longest time, my wife has told me that this was a great bagel place. Since I was in the area this past week, I decided to stop in for lunch. I went with a bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel and a large coffee. The sandwich was excellent! I've been to so many bagel shops in NW NJ in the past year, and this sandwich was one of the best. Since my in-laws used to live in the area, I've passed this place many times. It's always very busy and I can see why. Only negative is that Prices are a little on the high side...$7.50 for the sandwich and coffee. All in all though, a place I'd recommend. read more

The Bagel Station - Very popular bagel shop! - Delis Near Me - Sparta, New Jersey

Okay. Against my better judgement I made a review based off of one visit. But my subsequent two visits did not live up to the previous hype. On a different day I was excited to order the same Taylor ham, egg, and cheese sandwich. This time the visual difference was obvious. The quality of the bagel, the crisp of the toast, less meat, and overall just smaller sandwich. Inconsistency is a real bummer when it comes to food you're excited about. Ate there a third time a week later and ordered something safe (or so I thought). A toasted creamed cheese bagel with bacon. The "bacon" we received was nothing I've seen before. It was super duper thin that it was translucent. And it was more like a crumb instead of strips. It did not taste like bacon--or anything else for that matter. What a disappointment. Might as well have saved myself the bacon charge and just ordered a cream cheese bagel. read more

Drove from Long Island NY to get bagels from The Bagel Station. Ordered my bacon, egg and cheese on a cheddar cheese bagel and after I took a bite - I was reminded of how great this bagel is. Brought home dozens of bagel, bagel dogs and crumb cake. So worth the drive!! read more

I used to love this bagel store. But since Covid the prices have gone up drastically, while the bagels have shrunk to almost mini bagel size. read more

This hidden gem is amazing! My friends stopped by here to get some coffee and bagels and boy was I in awe decorations in an establishment is one of my favorite things to do! They had several celebrity autographs around the coffee shop which was amazing. There are SO many options and great for the whole family. They also have gluten free items as well as vegetarian ones! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a onion bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. My daughter had the chocolate muffin. Try to come and hour before hand because they do clean up before closing. I was also very impressed by the cleanliness of the bathroom. Thank you all and I hope to be back soon! read more

Such a great place for breakfast. The sandwiches are bit pricy, but they are huge and very filling. The french toast bagel is huge and delicious read more

This might be my shortest & most straightforward review. I give credit where credit is due and this Bagel Station has by far the best tasting bagels that I have EVER had. I willingly drive 45 minutes to grab a bagel here. So worth the drive. The line is sometimes long, but you can definitely call ahead and order. But if you want to see what a good bagel tastes like -- here's the place. read more

I am very confused about what happened today. My son has always claimed that this place is THE BEST BAGEL spot. I stopped there today to get a couple of bagels. Mine was fine...but my son's was completely burnt. Now...IF this was an oversight, that would be one thing...but buttering a burnt bagel and then wrapping and bagging it??? That's not at all acceptable. WHY wouldn't you just toast a new one? Why would you give a customer a completely scorched and inedible bagel? Does this person eat their bagel burnt so they thought we might like it too? Did I miss "Burnt Bagel" or "Well Done Bagel" or "Blackened Bagel" on the menu. Anyway...guys...PLEASE TAKE THE FIVE MINUTES FOR THE DO-OVER! It goes a really long way when people are paying for food that you are making. Just because I was leaving with it, instead of being served it, doesn't mean you wrap it and hope for the best. Know what I'm sayin'? read more

This is my first go-to place to eat when I'm back in NJ visiting my parent's house. I always order the same thing - taylor ham, egg, and cheese with no salt, pepper or ketchup. Their desserts are amazing and their specialty bagels are to die for. I cannot say enough about this locally owned stop. read more

Best bagels ever. Best sandwiches ever. We had these guys cater our wedding weekend - breakfast and lunch. Delivery was on time, every time, and my guests loved that they could just wake up and there was a spread at 830am every day of delicious bagels, muffins, crumb cakes, & coffee. Wedding was a 3 day weekend at a bed & breakfast so we used the bagel station to provide all the meals that weren't catered. I am not disappointed. I grew up in Sparta and senior year of high school I just about skipped one of my morning classes each week to sneak out & get a bagel from this place so we go way back! Happy I was able to use them during my wedding weekend! Edit: I'm still eating the potato salad leftovers. Kid you not, I eat it for breakfast it is THAT good. Do yourself a favor and get a pint of that potato salad. Best ever. read more

Sandwiches are made out of view of the customers. This wouldn't be an issue if not for the presence of flys. Disposable bins without covers which seem to attract flys. Cleanliness is not high on the list. Just look at the counter refrigerator that houses the cold cuts. (Inside and out) read more

This place is so gross I really don't understand the high reviews. First of all, it's FILTHY inside. Second of all, the girls behind the counter, who are incredibly unfriendly (but who cares, I'm not there to make a new friend) wear gloves but keep them on while ringing folks up on the cash register, handling money, handling credit cards, and bagging your bagels/muffins/etc. I used to work in food service, I KNOW those gloves are sweaty and uncomfortable, but you can't wear gloves while touching EVERYTHING and pretend you're following sanitary guidelines. Take a lead from other shops and have a dedicated cashier - let the others prepare the food and have ONE person handling money, credit cards, etc. Will not be back. read more
