I should have known better from reading other reviews but this place is awful. The bagels taste old and rubbery. The Rye bagel is nothing resembling a rye at all. There are so many better places around.
Great bagels in a saturated market. Quick service as well. I have had their bagels on numerous occasions and never disappointed. Great olive cream cheese which is my favorite. Taylor ham and cheese (no egg) is superb.
If you are looking for something in the morning on the go, and you are nearby, this place definitely works.
They take orders quickly at the counter and will give your order of coffee while you wait for the rest of your order. I have to say that they do make me a pretty good "light and sweet" coffee.
As for the bagels, they taste are not anything special, but when it's the morning and I'm in a rush to get to work, they taste good enough. I've gotten a couple of their sandwiches, with my favorite on-the-go being a Taylor ham, egg & cheese.
There are actually times in the morning when there is a longer line, and it can get annoying if you are in a rush. It seems that when it's busy at the grill, your order will take much longer than it should be. However, you should be fine if you just get something such as a bagel with cream cheese, since that will not use the grill. What I can suggest is that if you seem to be always coming in when there is a longer line, call ahead a few minutes before you get there and your wait-time will be non-existent when you actually get there.
Staff is very friendly and there are a few tables you can sit at if you have time in the morning to actually relax, read the paper, and eat.
Rating on the whole wheat everything with vegetable cream cheese… Toasted, served on a plate, veggie cream cheese was exceptional, fresh and loaded with veggies. Coffee was good, service was fine, no issues with this place despite the experience of others who may have had a former, less apt employee.
Is it the best bagel I've ever had? Well, no, but it was great, and considering what your choices are on rt3 working here or shopping, I'm sure you'd agree, it is a good choice for this shopping center.
This place is my go to for a simple all around good BLT. You would think such a simple sandwich can't be done wrong. Well Yelpers, I agree BUT most places I have tried in the neighborhood are most definitely not up to par. This place has it on lock down. Not to mention their coffee is so satisfying.
It has quite a few tables inside, so eating in is a nice option. My only concern with this place is that the staff is constantly recycled…. Wth….makes me wonder if the owner is too difficult to work for which would be a kill switch for me…. but until then I will continue enjoying their BLTs…..
BTW…. They normally close by 4 pm and they do have a wide selection on their menu.
I've been coming here since I moved to Nutley over 10 years ago for my bagel desires. The counter people are always friendly and welcoming. The sandwiches are always cooked-to-order and they are never light on the bacon. I think these might be the best bagels around.
On the bagel front, I've definitely experienced better. They're not all that friendly, it seems to take them forever. If it tasted better I would have sworn they made it from scratch all the way down to milling the flower to order, but well, it just didn't. Bagels are fine if you're in a pinch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to try this place.
