    Salmon, toast, bagel

    You have to try this! Incredibly tasty and fresh. Great alternative to avocado toast. I am obsessed.I have eaten this three times in the last week and a half.

    Bacon egg and cheese on a wrap

    A very okay breakfast sandwich spot. Tried a few different things like the bagels, breakfast wraps, lattes, etc. and it's always been a decent enough place to grab a bite when we really needed it. The iced latte was probably the star of the show, lots of love for the iced latte for getting me through a very tired morning. But the sandwiches have been nothing great or memorable with not too much meat. Sadly I think I will need to keep looking for a breakfast sandwich spot in town.

    I guess this is TECHNICALLY an updated review, lol. I used to come here when it was Fanwood Deli, but they have re-opened and rebranded as Bagel Cafe now. Same setup, but with a facelift. No complaints about service, I could tell that the young Woman working the counter was new, but everything went smoothly. Most importantly, the food was excellent as ever. To recap on the setup of this place, medium sized venue with some tables and chairs for indoor eating. Street parking in front. Simple place with good breakfast & lunch food. They don't do dinner, they close before then. Had the B'caf with sausage instead of bacon, & the Inside Out Joe. Grades: B'caf: A Inside Out Joe: A

    This is pretty embarrassing. Check out the photos and you'll see what I mean. Ordered a bacon,egg and cheese on a roll and this is what I got. There was definitely more ketchup in this sandwich than bacon or egg. This is the equivalent of making a sandwich with one slice of cheese and one slice of ham. Its 10:00am on a Friday, do we need to go shopping for more bacon and eggs? I don't care what the price is, management, please dont allow this kind of breakfast sandwich to leave your shop again. This is shameful. Yelpers, if you're reading this, go elsewhere!

    This place feels like an extension of home. Consistently solid bagels and everyone who works there is awesome! The chicken salad as well as the turkey BLT for lunch is a win.

    Decent bagel bacon egg and cheese Stopped and looking for the old fanwood bagel place and realized this place took over. The bagels themselves are a little more bread and not chewy as a bagel should be the bagel itself are two out of five Got a egg, white bacon and cheese. The bacon was crispy, but there was barely any egg whites on there at the bagel didn't really help itself so overall 2.5 out of five. Coffee was good. Onw was cool. Customer service was not bad.

    Taylor ham egg and cheese on a round roll

    Not sure why I gave this place another chance only to be disappointed again. Taylor ham egg and cheese on a round roll might as well be just Taylor Ham on a round roll. I thought something was missing when he handed me the brown bag. It was so light I knew that this was going to be a rip off again. Don't waste your money head to Babbas bagels if you want a real breakfast sandwich...

    A lot of people put immense pressure on the new owners to carry on the legacy of what Fanwood Bagel did for this town, and I believe they have transitioned very well.

    @BigDudesBigFoods is celebrating our 6th anniversary at The Pastrami House in #NewProvidenceNJ on…read more#NationalPastramiDay . We had quite an assortment of hearty items from their extensive menu. The Big Dudes ‍‍platter consisted of a hot #pastrami sandwich, a stuffed pastrami knish, Rueben eggrolls, potato chips and assorted pickles. Joe and I weren't feeling desserty so we split a pastrami hotdog(ripper style). Everything was delicious and with all of the food choices in New Providence, it would have to be. It's a nice, clean shop with a friendly crew and great location on Springfield Avenue. This is your best Union County pastrami spot!

There's free street parking, so that's always a nice touch. They offer desserts from Junior's (Brooklyn), coffee, chips, & typical deli brand sodas (Boylan). We had the Traditional Sloppy & the Turkey Sloppy. Both were very good. Could have been "sloppier" for my taste, as in not enough Russian Dressing or Coleslaw. I now understand why my Wife wanted extra Russian on her sandwich. She said it still wasn't enough, lol. My Wife enjoyed the coleslaw so much she wanted a side of it. Grades: Turkey Sloppy: A+ Traditional Sloppy: A- Coleslaw: A+

    I was looking for a place to grab a sandwich for me and my family to bring home and Als happens to…read morebe near my office so I decided to give this place a try. They have a lot of interesting sandwiches to choose from. They caught my eye because they use focaccia for some of them which I love any opportunity to have it . I ordered a tuna on focaccia with mixed greens and peppers on the side . Tuna was slightly disappointing. It was missing a little twang/bite I might recommend a jalapeño relish which I use at home when I make it. I also ordered the ranchers roast beef and cheddar cheese, which also needed a little pick up me up also Maybe a twangy horseradish mayo. I also ordered the red white Italian, which is on focaccia bread, which was a very hearty sandwich loaded with chicken breast and roasted peppers. The sandwich needs to be eaten fairly quickly as the focaccia gets slightly soggy. we also ordered the buffalo chicken wrap, which unfortunately didn't have much buffalo taste according to my husband. Minus these few flavor factors for me. The sandwiches in general were very good prices were slightly high, but the serving size was adequate for the pricing. Staff was super friendly. And I love how they have their routine getting all the orders out. They have a good amount of seating inside if you want to eat there. They also have a large variety of chips and drinks also . Definitely worth giving them a try !

    I have driven by Al's Prime Meat & Deli hundreds of times but it was never the right time to visit…read more Sometimes they were closed and other times I will have already eaten. Recently I made it a point to visit to pick up a sandwich for lunch and I'm really glad I did! Al's is very clean and welcoming. When you walk in the cashier counter is to the left, set at a right angle to that is the deli counter where sandwiches are assembled. The menu is mounted on the wall towards the back. To the right is a seating area. Across from the cashier is a fridge with various pasta dishes ready to heat up and eat along with some baked goods and lots of different kinds of chips to go with your sammich. I wound up ordering the Red & White Russian which includes Roast Beef, Turkey, Swiss, Horseradish, Deli Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato & Onion. You can have it pressed by request but I did not do so. I also ordered a side order of macaroni salad. The Red & White Russian was really good! The size was perfect and the bread was soft and chewy. There was a good amount of meat and cheese and I really liked the mustard and horseradish flavors. The macaroni salad was great. I would definitely get both of these again! I'm glad I made it a point to stop at Al's and I plan to do so again in the future!

    I am truly surprised that I've never been here before! Growing up in scotch plains , I always heard…read morepeople talk about this spot and passed it all the time, never realizing they actually served food. Coming back from a trip, my boyfriend and I drove past it, and I knew we finally had to stop by--and I am so glad we did! It is the cutest shop inside, packed with a ton of different products ranging from fresh vegetables, canned goods, and international specialty items to homemade desserts and fully customizable hot and cold subs. I loved how fresh and clean everything was. The staff was incredibly chatty and warm, answering all of our questions and speaking about their products with so much genuine passion and pride. We ended up absolutely devouring our food! I highly recommend the #3 sandwich, and the best part is they have excellent vegetarian options, too. Honestly, anyone can find something to love at this local gem.

    New to the neighborhood and had been meaning to stop by and we finally did!…read more It was after dinner time so I didn't ask about the food in the back - but I hear the sandwiches here are great so I'll probably go for one eventually after I figure out what we can have, if anything. The place has its own ample parking lot and is quite cute. It is small though and has some fresh produce, dairy, and pantry items at the front, but nothing extensive. Having said that, they had bags of allergen-friendly bread crumbs made without eggs (we haven't seen this before anywhere) which I purchased for my kid with multiple food allergies. Towards the middle, there are baked goods.. cookies, cakes, bread, pies. Something to note: everything has a sticker with "Tom The Green Grocer" on them (or other stickers if it's not made there... I'm assuming the items with their sticker means they're made there) but there are no ingredients listed at all. No names either and if there are, it's generic like "assorted cookies" and the pies had the name written on the boxes (peach, forest fruit, mixed berry, blueberry crumble, apple crumble, pumpkin - off the top of my head). I ended up buying a peach pie for just under $25 each. At the back of the store, there are the prepared foods, cake slices, and sandwich counter. My daughter was eyeing the Oreo cake slices but I didn't get one for her on this trip. The slices are not equally sized and wrapped in cellophane; I noticed some are slightly bigger than others. I'm sure I'll get one for her eventually and I'll report back on that once I do. I'm under the impression a lot of people that go there are regulars. The employees there are... there somewhere (they sort of blend in... I didn't really notice a uniform). We weren't greeted when we came in and weren't asked if we needed any help. It might be because they didn't know, since the cash register has the cashier facing away from the door, but as we walked around, it seemed like people became sparse. Service was lackluster and I don't actually recall a smile. Luckily, when I finally grabbed what I was planning on buying, a new employee was manning the cash register. She answered questions with direct answers, no elaboration. I'm still not sure if the answers were adequate, haha. I had asked what was in the Forest Fruit Pie and she mentioned blueberries and strawberries. Then I asked what was in the Wild Berry Pie and she said "berries." I sort of gave up on it after that and just checked out. An intriguing little neighborhood food-centric shop. I wish they listed out the ingredients on all their baked goods and prepared food and they were a little friendlier and helpful. Even so, I'm sure I'll return again to ask my detailed questions to see if we can have any of their sandwiches. Note: the peach pie we got was quite good and yielded 8, decent sized slices. It was glued to the pie pan (I believe the filling bubbled through and got between the pie and the pan) so none of our slices are whole since we need to scrape the bottom out, but they aren't too sweet, the filling doesn't taste artificial, and the crust is nice and flaky/tender. I'm hoping the fact it was stuck to the pan is a one off and they usually aren't like this. The next time I get a craving for pie, I'll go back for round two and I'll be sure to note whether or not that one is stuck to the pan.
