Plaza Bagel & Deli
“So almost all summer I was frequenting this spot eating bagels and Taylor ham, egg and cheeses.”
“I usually order the whole wheat bagel with strawberry cream cheese (which is legitimate strawberry cream cheese with chunks of strawberry..”
“The top are everything and plain, but I like the whole wheat too–doesn't even taste like it–is this breakfast or dessert!?!”

So first off the store is more on a side street off Van Houten Ave….literally by PIzza Hut.
It looks a bit runned down walking in but don't let that stir you away. The staff is so friendly! And they are hustling and bustling in there and you can actually see the bagels being made.
They have a lot of cream cheeses to choose from but I wanted to try my favorite and see if theirs would be a fave of mine. I ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with walnut raisin cream cheese and it was super delicious. It was a perfect amount of cream cheese and the bagel was nice and soft…I didn't toast it because he said it literally just came out of the oven.
I also got a sausage egg and cheese on a roll (I did not eat both but split with my hubby….both were so filling). I couldn't stop eating both. The roll was super soft and the balance of the SEC was delicious.
I highly recommend this bagel place. I will definitely come back to taste the other cream cheese like 'Jalopena CC and garlic and herb cc'.
From the outside, this place looks like every other bagel shop in NJ, but these are hands-down the most delicious bagels and cream cheese that I've ever had.
I go out for bagels every weekend, alternating between places, but keep coming back (and dreaming of) the bagels from Plaza.
I usually order the whole wheat bagel with strawberry cream cheese (which is legitimate strawberry cream cheese with chunks of strawberry.. it's not artificial pink).
From now until Thanksgiving, Plaza also has pumpkin bagels and pumpkin cream cheese, which is maybe the most beautiful combination known to this world (last Sunday, one of the employees said that the pumpkin cream cheese was even better that week than the prior one, and he was not at all lying.. I was depressed when I finished my bagel and debated unleashing my inner fat kid and going to get another).
The staff is also fantastic – they're friendly and so sweet/helpful and even when it's packed, they're quick and efficient.
I look forward to bagels from Plaza all week!
The best pork roll, egg and cheese on a bagel! They give you so much food and it's really cheap for what they charge. I'm drooling now as I'm typing this review.
As I was parking my car, I noticed the sign said "Bagels baked continuously"; this is what all bagel shops should do throughout NJ. It's actually quite sad to see how many bagelrys do not have fresh bagels, is it that hard! Just keep making bagels all morning, that's all ya gotta do! I apologize for that little rant, but I had to get it off my chest, but it's a trend that has to stop.
This place is the coolest bagelry that I've ever been to; it's like the CBGB's of bagel shops! The first thing I noticed was The Ramones poster and other rock/punk/metal posters on the wall next to the entrance, plus they were playing old school metal/punk in the kitchen. (now to come to think of it I'm changing my 4 stars to 5 just based on that haha)
I was in the mood for a Jersey Breakfast sandwhich (Taylor Ham/ Pork Roll, egg, and cheese) on a bagel with salt, pepper and Ketchup. I gotta tell ya, this was a perfecly cooked sandwhich: the egg was cooked just right, the cheese melted to perfection and the Taylor Ham was cooked impeccably, and of course the bagel was nice and warm and had that consistency a fresh bagel should have. When I took that first bite it was like heaven on a bagel.
The residence of this part of Clifton are very lucky to have this one of a kind really good bagel shop in thier neighborhood!
I finally had the pleasure of stopping by this place. Truth to be told I am happy I did. The guy working behind the counter greeted me as if he knew for some time. People skills are a major plus and that goes a long way with me.
I ordered two sandwiches, a Taylor ham and cheese and a BLT. I ate halves of each one and they were smoking. Good simple solid sandwiches that at times I have seen and tasted how some other places simply slaughter them. Not this place they are a good buy at this location.
They were quick polite and they have some good food. Can't wait for a second run soon.
This place has awesome bagels. I normally dont like to cheat on my bagel shop but this place was worth it.
Also they had pretty amazing lunch sandwiches. I got a grilled chicken sandwich and to be honest at first i thought i was going to get a precooked piece of chicken reheated, but i was wrong. The guy behind the counter brought out a fresh bowl of seasoned chicken and threw a couple peices on the grill
The bread was fresh as well.
Overall breakfast or lunch this is a good stop
Its also cheap!
For bagel flavor, 4.5 stars. Delicious, flavorful bagels with doughy insides and a slight crisp on the bottom. I've never been to the store but a coworker brings in the bagels on occasion, and they're wonderful.
I have a kind of cautionary tale, however. My friend learned that on Sundays, the store gets so busy that they actually purchase bagels from other stores! That's simply unacceptable, if true. I'm hoping it was a fluke (broken oven?) that caused them to do it one day, and never again.
