overall, it's a cool and classic bagel shop. Some of the staff is really friendly and inviting other members are either rude and standoffish which is frustrating. We came here because it said 23 bagel options and we are excited to see everything. However seems more like 8-10 and it's not even listed on their menu, you have to go on the far side of the shop to see the options. All in all, the food was pretty good, just weird how some of the process is. My bagel was toasted, which I wanted however, my wife's wasn't - neither of us asked, but I would think they would do the same for both. They a lot of cream cheese options and some pastries. Parking right in front made it easy too. read more

The everything bagel with cream cheese was pretty good. The bagel is chewy and not overly salty. read more

I live in Brooklyn. When I visit my parents, I legitimately bring TFAB bagels back home with me. They are just better than any place I've been to in NYC. Straight up. read more

Best bagels ever. I used to live down the street in Olde Forge apts and went to the shop almost every Saturday and Sunday. The Everything bagel and the Onion bagel are yummy! Sadly in the Fall of 2020 I had to move East to Cedar Grove. I miss you and your bagels so much. Everyone who works there is friendly and they never mess up an order no matter how complex. .

Eh... it's ok. Nothing amazing. Medium sized bagel. Good for take out. Not great for eating in. So many better shops in my humble opinion. read more

This place went downhill like a rocket. If I know anything, I know my bagels. Coming from Brooklyn and over age 50 I have gone to every bagel store that I can find and I have found some excellent ones nearby in Randolph. I used Time Out for brunch post three of my kids Bar/Bat Mitzvahs many years ago and they did a good job. I think there is new ownership although that is irrelevant. I went there the other day and was VERY disappointed with the size of the bagels, which at first I thought were mini-bagels, and the sundried tomato cream cheese was good, however, it was the thinnest spread imaginable and for those prices it was insulting. An absolute waste of time and money and I will never return. Like I said, there are some excellent options nearby that put this place to shame. Service was good! Another one bites the dust read more

My go to bagel spot in the area. I love that they have mini bagels available. The service is friendly and quick.

I've had Time For A Bagel bookmarked for quite a while. Yesterday, my wife and I were in the area and had a chance to pick up bagels there for lunch. The store is located on Speedwell Avenue right in the heart of Morris Plains. I ordered a Russian Pumpernickel with butter and my wife had a plain with cream cheese. The bagels were a bit different in that they were smaller and more dense than usual, but they were fine. There's a huge cream cheese selection here. There are tables inside and outside. Plenty of parking in the area. Good spot to pick up bagels if you're in the area. read more

Our go-to spot for breakfast bagels. The best part is they have dairy free and vegan options . The servers are always busy but nice.

Consistently the best bagels and service in the area. Don't be intimidated by the line-- they are efficient and worth it!

Time For A Bagel is like a club on weekend mornings. They had a bouncer at the front directing traffic, and I'm not kidding about this. The bagel bouncer was super appreciated though! This is a great way to control line flow and Covid social distancing. They have an effective system and the line moved relatively fast. You can also call to pre-order (but good luck getting through when it's busy). And if you are just getting bagels (no cream cheese, eggs, etc) you can go right up to the front and place your order. The bagels are great. Super fluffy and flavorful enough that they could be enjoyed standalone with no cream cheese. Unfortunately the cream cheese was a little lackluster. It's very light and whipped, and when ordered on a hot toasted bagel it basically became liquid cream cheese. Hubs and I ate these in the car and it was a literal hot mess. Moving forward, I will not order my bagel and cc toasted. There is a huge selection of bagel and cream cheese flavors, and then of course you can order hot sandwiches, deli sandwiches, salads, etc. Staff is friendly and efficient. They also sell merch if you want a TFAB shirt which I thought was cute. Pro-tip -- credit card payments under $10 are charged a fee, so be sure to bring cash if you are placing a smaller order. And of course, if you are visiting on a weekend morning expect a wait. read more

I cannot believe how the size of these bagels has shrunk!! Picked up an everything with cream cheese a couple months ago and it was between a normal bagel and a mini bagel in size. I won't be going back. read more

Everything is always delicious. But Steve's Cole slaw and Health salad stand out as fresh, delicious compliments to his perfect bagels. And the whitefish salad is still the best ever, even bette than Russ and Daughters! read more

These bagels are good! My friends raved about this place so I had to try when we were in the area. They are not too dense on the inside and have a nice crispness to them. I'm not sure how else to explain. My husband said there was a line. He was chatting with someone and told them it was his first visit. They suggested also getting the Cinnabon and crumb cake. Both were great. Needless to say, I'm glad they're a bit further from our house so we can't visit too frequently. lol read more

THECSPK. I get mine on an egg bagel, but all their bagels are fluffy and delicious. Go earlier in the morning and you can get some bagels fresh out of the oven. Don't even need to ask for it toasted at that point. I LOVE their walnut and raisin cream cheese. Also love their made in-house lox spread. This place is the real deal. I get bagels here whenever I'm in the area and buy a few extra to take home. read more

Now I understand why this spot gets so many great reviews! Their bagels are probably top 3 for me...crispy on the outside, chewy and fresh on the inside. Loads of staff and their service is quick and friendly. Good coffee to boot! Garlic with scallion - so effing good! THC - thin sliced and yummy! Good prices. Plenty of seats to sit inside or even out. Well worth going out of my way - ENJOY! read more

We went to NJ for a real NJ bagel and everyone told us to come here. This place seems authentic to me, it was packed, and the bagels were great. Morris plains was a cute town too. I not only would come back - I will come back tomorrow morning for a bagel and a coffee. read more

Ordered: Dozen Bagels (Plain, Egg, Everything, Garlic, Blueberry) ($15) A dozen comes with 13 bagels. Although the bagels here were smaller than most bagels, they were still pretty good in terms of flavor and texture. Decently fluffy and slightly chewy. Although the garlic bagels had plenty of garlic, the everything bagels were pretty bare and didn't really have much seasoning on them. Good bagels, but I've had better. Would recommend if you're in the area! read more

The real hometown hero. Best bagels, I always order a dozen to freeze and bring back home to Philly (where bagels are trash). If you're new, obviously go for the classic THECSPK (Taylor ham, egg, cheese, salt pepper ketchup) on an egg. If they happen to have egg everythings (usually sold out in less than 30 min), do one of those with their lox spread. Also friendliest and most efficient service. No frills, 10$ cash minimum, amazing bagels. It's time. read more

This is the ultimate bagel spot in the area. It has everything. Usually bagel places have some of the following items, but not all. For example, some bagel places have bagels, but don't do breakfast sandwiches. But this place is a one stop shop. Let's review: *great quality bagel selection with unique flavors (examples: sun dried tomato, unicorn, chocolate chip, mini bagels, flagels, super cinn raisin, bialys) *they have other baked goods such as cinn buns (which are amazing), cookies, muffins *they have a nice selection of spreads (a popular one is the lox cream cheese spread) *they do breakfast sandwiches *they have a good drink selection (Gatorades, milks, multiple Tropicana juices, waters, soda, vitamin waters, Snapples, Joe Teas, Dr. Brown's) *they open at 5 every day (so most people can get a bagel before work) *they offer other food (such as omelettes, deli sandwiches, tuna/chicken salads, mac salads *they do catering *everyone is nice and service is quick (don't be nervous when you see a long line, it's gonna move quickly) *they have a decent amount of seating if you wanna hang around *they offer coffee (which is actually pretty decent for bagel place coffee) *added bonus: they have merch! I honestly may need to get a shirt at some point. Like COME ON. I am lucky to live near this place. Today I got a classic: Taylor ham egg and cheese on an everything bagel, SPK. Bagel is a good size, nice chew, tastes fresh. Good amount of everything topping on the bagel. Good amount of Taylor ham that was slightly crispy. Had a cheese pull. Egg was ever so slightly oozy (which is to my liking). Good amount of SPK. Bagel was nice and warm when I opened the foil (such a comforting feeling). Love Tfab! read more

I ordered bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel. Unfortunately, the bacon on both orders was burnt to the extent that we had to remove it. I called to complain, as it seems that the new employees preparing the orders may require additional training. read more

Everything bagels, rainbow bagels, whatever you need they've got. And whether you call it Taylor ham or a pork roll, they have that too... I don't mean to start a war over here. Call it whatever you want ; ) The bagels are a good size, not gigantic, not microscopic; they're just the right size for me. read more

I loved the Black Russian pumpernickel bagel with egg bacon and cheese. Delicious !!

Best bagels around! Lo-fat and no-fat cream cheese available. Pleasant staff. Definitely worth a visit.

I always passed this place and wondered about it. I stopped by got Taylor ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel - boy was it salty My bf got a bacon, egg and cheese on a sesame bagel - the bagel tasted old and took forever to chew. The coffee was the only decent thing about this place. read more

Good bagel but definitely had better. Asked for toasted - really cool have been toasted better. Way too much cream cheese on the bagel (which isn't out of the ordinary these days) - I hate when the cream cheese just oozes all over the place and makes a mess. read more

Delicious, one of a kind Bagels, fast to making orders, one of the best bagel shops ever

My favorite bagel place in Morristown! The bagels are always super fresh. They are soft and chewy with great flavor. My favorites are the plain, blueberry, and cinnamon raisin. They are good enough to eat without any cream cheese or toppings. The service is quick and friendly. Make sure to get here early (before noon) because some of the bagels run out. read more

So scrumptious! I got a sausage, egg, and cheese on a sesame bagel and it was so tasty. The cheese melted on the sausage and egg perfectly and the ketchup added a nice tartness. The bagel itself was SO good, the perfect blend of crisp on the outside and dense on the inside. Would definitely come back! read more

Pathetic. I just got this "everything" bagel and its totally a nothing bagel. The wait in their bullshit disorganized line is absolutely not worth the wait read more

Very good. Bagels are crispy/crunchy on the outside but soft on the interior. This is the best place for bagels around. However, I took a star off for the way they store their pre-made food. They just leave it out with no cover which is not appetizing. read more

Great bagel spot for the value. Taylor ham, egg and cheese on an everything is the go to!

I don't know why 30 year old me rated this 3 stars. The bagels are dense but large and I kinda like that. Crispy outside, soft inside. A metric boatload of toppings. Yeah it's not cheap, but I've come to like their bagels. My advice to younger me? Open my wallet a bit. read more

This place is very up and down. I've had great sandwiches there. The other day though I ordered a BLT with egg salad. The lettuce that they put on it was brown and clumped. It literally looked like it came from the garbage, and that's where it ended up. I've had to repeat orders 4 and 5 times to a kid that works behind the counter. He gets it wrong each time I say what the order is. read more

UPDATE: TFAB IS STILL AMAZINGit slaps. I can always count on it to give literal butterflies if you want your heart to be full of pure joy and happiness eat here! peace love and time for a bagel. read more
