I'm a tough critique for bagels because I love them very much and the texture and consistency of the dough can make or break for me. Rutherford Bagels & Deli is absolutely one of the best bagel shops in the area. If you're around here, the service and vibes are very homey and comfortable. You get consistent and reliable quality here and the owners treat you as regulars, even if it's your first time there. Cool spot

They gave a nice variety, including fruit pebbles, whole wheat, plain, and cinnamon raisin. They even gave us a bag of bagel chips! I've never seen store-made bagel chips at bagel shops before but it makes a lot of sense! Will definitely come back during morning time one day to try a fresh bagel or perhaps a sandwich.

They also offer excellent breakfast platters, muffins, pastries, and plenty of other breakfast options. Be prepared--it gets very busy, especially during peak hours.

The menu is on the smaller side, but it has enough variety to offer good options for everyone. The breakfast platter was delicious and satisfying. The pancakes were thin but had great flavor and were cooked perfectly. The coffee was excellent it had a nice balance and wasn't watery at all. The corned beef hash was especially flavorful and definitely a standout. Prices aren't too bad for breakfast, especially considering the quality of the food and service. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, friendly people, and a relaxed atmosphere. Thank you for a good experience.

Street parking; plenty of friendly staff, place was quite big inside with A LOT of options. I think there are a few tables in the back. Once you read the online menu and see the pictures, you'll be craving. Once you try them you'll start planning your next visit. This is a 2nd location ( original in Hawthorne), so you know they have a good thing going on. I ordered at night and picked up my order on the way to work. I tried a traditional Pandebono breakfast sandwich made with: Bacon, egg & cheese with a hash brown on a buttery pandebono roll. This had to be one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. ( and being from NJ, that's a lot!) I picked mozzarella out of 7 cheese options and I stuck with bacon although I could have changed it. Amazing; this Colombian roll made it perfect. I also tried a piece of a classic: bagel with taylor ham, egg, & cheese. It was just "ok" but not great. They don't put a lot of each ingredient on it. I've had many better versions elsewhere. But I would recommend adding or changing any sandwich to your preference. They let you add\remove many options of meats, veggies, and condiments to all of their signature sandwiches. ( or build your own) They even have empanadas and other bakery items besides bagels. Just don't forget to grab a beverage too. My Cortada was excellent ( espresso with steamed condensed milk and a 2nd option you pick ; I chose coconut milk. Awesome. Cant wait to go back. maybe tomorrow :)

I've had the one in Hawthorne saved to my Yelp list but never got there. Well they certainly made it easy for me! I got there early on opening day and there was a LINE! Which is absolutely understandable and that is awesome for them. I waited in line for quite some time but I was dedicated. The first 25 people received swag and some of us got a free fresh squeezed juice. It was really nice while waiting in line. When I finally got inside, service was super friendly and moving as fast as they could. I ordered their latte of the month which was French toast flavored and so good! The French toast stick on top just makes it that much better. I also got Charlie's sandwich on a pandebono. That was so good and I'm glad I went with the pandebono option. It has turkey bacon, scrambled eggs with sautéed scallions and tomatoes, a hashbrown, and mozzarella cheese. It definitely stepped up the sandwich game. Next time I may get it without the hashbrown. The bagels were just ok - my kids weren't the biggest fan, but they want to try it again at some point, maybe with the pandebono. The inside is pretty big and spacious with seating in the back. It's bright and open. They also have a kiosk to order food which may make things go faster but I saw people struggling with the payment on it. I look forward to visiting Carlos' again. Welcome to the neighborhood!!

At first glance, they might seem like just another type of bread, but these doughy delights are so much more than that. At its core, it is a type of bread that is circular in shape with a hole in the middle and has roots in Jewish cuisine. Situated on a busy N. Midland Avenue in Saddle Brook, Midland Bagels & Grill is a popular local bakery known for its bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and other grill items like gyros and sliders. Upon entering this cozy establishment as a first-timer, I was greeted by the staff with 3 tables and a window ledge table for standing. I decided on a whole wheat bagel with a smear of cream cheese for takeout. The bagel with the outer crunch but soft on the inside was still warm when I got home. The flavor, texture, and consistency were perfect. The price was a bit on the pricey side but would not deter me from returning back. The staff were pleasant and extremely efficient. It's a solid bagel spot!
