We like this place and come here pretty often on the weekend. Their sandwiches are big and they give you a lot of
everything which is good so you get more for your money and it fills you up. I like the bagels and variety of cream cheeses, especially the veggie cream cheese..
Yum. The reason it lost a star is because there are one or two employees who can't handle a rush and will take forever to get my order together and to ring me up. Their system is a little out of whack for when they want you to pay and where they want you to wait…
After living in Manhattan and eating H&H bagels, no bagel in Jersey had come close to them. But Bagel Box is the closest to that big perfect H&H – big and crispy outside, soft inside. Good flavor selection here, blueberry, choc. chip, Black Russian (Pumpernickel) some whole grains and even cheddar or jalapeno. They even have flavored cream cheeses and fish salads by the pound prepacked to go.
They'll make you a sandwich of tuna, light tuna, coldcuts or chicken on a bagel of your choice. They have cold drinks or coffee as well. It's a small shop, so beware sometimes you may have a wait as other customers order a bunch of sandwiches or salads to take out. I'm not sure if you can call in an order in advance, but that would be helpful.
Went in to grab a quick lunch and they had nothing left after tossing everything for the day. They weren't supposed to close for another two hours. They reluctantly scrounged up a grilled cheese for me.
I was between 2 and 3 stars. This place is pretty overrated in my opinion. I have a high standard for bagels and Bagel Box did not meet it. First of all, they didn't label their bagels and they were set back far from the counter so I couldn't tell which was which. The service was okay. We only waited about 5 minutes but the bagels were definitely a disappointment. I like my bagel to be big and fluffy. These were small and thin, and they did not seem very fresh. We ordered Taylor ham, egg and cheese on an everything and pumpernickel with veggie cream cheese. Both were just ok. I wouldn't go back.
