Hound About TownJune 22, 2012What a great operation! Don't be discouraged when you see that line out the door! There's a reason. Great breakfast sandwiches and they'll get you in and out in minutes even with that line!
Great bagel shop in downtown Jersey City. If you're looking for a great way to start your day on the weekend and want to move quicker than brunch this is the place. Watch the cars and people go by.
Ryan HaighSeptember 11, 2014Saturday morning staple in JC. Bagels are made fresh and I've never been disappointed. Smoked lox and fresh OJ are amazing.
Jesse TingMay 1, 2016Long wait on Sundays. Fresh OJ is really good. Lox is $7ish but worth any penny.- Louise MesserJune 29, 2018Selection of bagels, fillings and freshly squeezed juice. Also very reasonably priced! $
Diana BrodyMay 18, 2021Fantastic chewy bagels. Staff are equally efficient and super nice :) Oh, and they make their iced coffee with ice cubes made of coffee so it doesn't water down.
Amazing everything bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese. Don’t forget the freshly squeezed orange juice.
Doughy, warm bagels baked fresh throughout the day... How can you go wrong? Come prepared to wait in line, but your time and effort will be rewarded.
Johanne DenisJanuary 11, 2016Bagels are always freshly made. The line can be extremely long sometimes for a bagel place. But it's definitely worth the wait. And it's not pricey at all.
Jacob DavidFebruary 22, 2017You literally can't go wrong at this place. #GEM (try staying up all night and getting breakfast right when they open to beat the lines)
$5 for scrambled eggs, home fries, bacon & a bagel = best breakfast around. Worth traveling from distant lands like Hamilton Park, Exchange Place, or Paulus Hook.
Suma ReddyMay 12, 2014As good as the best NYC bagels (as sacrilegious as that is to say). And great, fast, friendly service!
Get there early on the weekend because the lines get long. But go to Choc O Pain for good coffee.
FoodiesprNovember 10, 2016They make the Bagel fresh and an orange squeezer machine two great facts, coffee -regular
Tom BethellDecember 20, 2014The line was out the door here and it's 29 degrees so that was a good sign...bagels were super soft and fresh! Recommend for quick simple breakfast.
They're no bagel hole, but these are good bagels and they have good hours. Staff are friendly and the fresh squeezed orange juice is tasty.
Best Bagels in JC. Try the Everything Bagel with scallion tofu cream cheese and slice of tomato
- Great bagels! I recommend a salt bagel with the lox cream cheese. It's a classic! Just don't get the coffee here because it's burnt and terrible.
- Vincent RaymondSeptember 22, 2013Place is great. White fish on a super soft everything bagel topped with cucumber, onion, Swiss and mustard; awesome!
- Best bagels wrest of the Hudson! Salt bagel with classic cream cheese is the way to go.
Worth a long line on weekends. Best bagels in JC, good coffee and fresh squeezed OJ.
Preeti MackerApril 16, 2015Long lines on weekend... Worth the wait for for fresh warm bagels! Just wish they brewed better coffee...
Varun BajajApril 11, 2015Everything bagel with veggie cream cheese! Ice coffee has coffee ice cubes too!
Everything bagel with egg and cheese.. Always always get the freshly squeezed oj!
Bagels are good most of the time. Occasionally, especially later in the day, you may come across a stale offering.
Sundried tomato cream cheese on any kind of bagel. Line is usually long but moves fast.
Wojciech ZalotSeptember 27, 2014Good bagels in reasonable price, poppy and sesame one taste delicious!
Amazing bagels made fresh all day. Also pretty good wraps.
The everything bagel is soooo good with scallion cream cheese!
Ram NJuly 8, 2023Everything bagel with cream cheese, onion, cucumber, and tomato. Sesame bagel NY-style
I call this the tudo bagel- sesame bagel with one egg, one slice cheddar cheese and potatoes. Add salt pepper and ketchup to finish it off :)
The freshly squeezed orange juice is so good! Complements the delicious bagels well.
Amy Johnson CookApril 20, 2012Egg white, cheddar & potato on everything bagel is the way to go. Bagel is always so fresh.
- Amy Johnson CookApril 12, 2012Coffee ice cubes guarantee your iced coffee won't get watered down- perfect for weekend walking around downtown or a long commute.
Juliana BeasleyApril 2, 2011I've lived in Jersey City for over 10 years and this is still one of the best thing here. One thing did change for the worse. They put very little spread on the bagels. Bummer!
Best bagels in Jersey City! There's always a line but it moves fast.
A KMay 11, 2017These guys always seem to get a simple order wrong, multiple times. Can be frustrating. Oj is good
