Their quality of bagel is tops with the right touches of boiling vs frying, soft vs hard, flavor variety, and savory vs sweet. The location is quite new with all the well maintained touches that a modern bagel place should have with particular nod to its nice patio area outside, fit for a later month. The staff are very responsive and quick and the exciting interior begs for a discovery of their many many items well beyond bagels and breakfast into the lunchtime, too. The menu creatively uses bagels to launch into a wide array, taking what is the customization and classic ingredients of a classic bagel place with all the modern ideas of so many food cultures. Parking is very easy & plentiful, the location is extremely convenient to multiple major roadways of the area, and the brand has many other locations throughout the region. Kudos to Manhattan Bagel & see you soon!

The people in there are so friendly and unlike most bagel places, they are actually generous with the cream cheese! A great way to start your morning. I am hoping they are adding more drink options as I do not drink coffee and they had very minimal juices in their fridge. As for the bagels themselves, they are up to the Nj standard of greatness and are nice and fluffy with the right amount of crunch when toasted. I will definitely be back.

GOOD. homemade, fresh bagels (check). What more could you want? I often call ahead to place my order -- especially on a weekend morning, at peak busy. My go to: bacon, egg and cheese on a jalapeño cheddar bagel -- SPK (salt, pepper, ketchup). The space inside is super tiny inside, but everyone working there works hard to get people in and out quickly -- plus the teeny-tiny inside adds to the cozy, nostalgic, small business feel. Several tables with chairs and umbrellas to sit and enjoy when the weather is nice. DB also has lots of other delicious deli/lunch items (haven't tried many yet bc I'm always craving my regular order) and some sweeter breakfast treats. Fridge full of different flavored homemade cream cheese & other breakfast essentials -- orange juice jugs, grab and go drinks & counter coffee. Bonus points for no longer being a cash only business!! Love, love, love DB.

For a $15+ purchase, other locations in this franchise include a pickle and a choice of salad (potato, macaroni, pasta, etc.)--but here, I got a bag of potato chips with no choice.

I won't be coming back to this one.

Although there's a new bagel place that's located closer to the street, next to Manhattan Bagel. I'd like to mention now that I've been in NJ for a year and this is my first time trying bagels from a local spot and not Trader Joe's. I also grabbed some bagels from Pop-up Bagel while I was there to compare. There is a shared parking lot, though there are countless signs for reserved parking for the new bagel place, which I found interesting. The shared parking lot is oddly shaped, but still good that there is one. The shop is unassuming but lived in. It seemed like many in there were regulars. They sell breakfast, brunch, and lunch items. A lovely display section of bagels and an open kitchen. The menu they have displayed up top is... incomplete. And they cycle. I couldn't find a physical menu to study so perhaps my ordered items would have changed if I was more informed. The staff at the front is nice and friendly. Place looks relatively clean. Just to start off with, I got: PLAIN BAGEL: these are large. They have a nice chew but are soft with no crust. I liked these perfectly fine. Each bagel with nothing else is $1.49. EGG-AND-CHEESE on a PLAIN BAGEL: this wasn't an available item on the screen and I wasn't in the mood to ask about alliums (I'm an allium-free vegetarian) so I stuck with a simple combination. This was only $4.99. It's all in the name. A pretty decent sandwich with nothing else added in. It satisfied. Overall, I could see why this is a beloved place. They serve a good breakfast at reasonable prices. They know their regulars by name and they've got a steady stream of customers. It's not fancy but they've got everything - including chairs and tables for those dining in. Many came in to pick up; I'm not sure if they went through a website or an app. Or just called in. A solid go-to for breakfast.

Owners and sisters-in-law Karolina and Ewelina introduced me to five of the most popular breakfast menu items. Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice: Take the name of this beverage literally. Multiple oranges are squeezed into the cup having a fair share of pulp and bursting with flavor. In addition to this drink, there are also a variety of lemonades that are made with freshly squeezed lemons. Lavender lemonade: It was hard to make a decision, but I ultimately went with the lavender lemonade. This secret concoction has a purplish appearance with a natural, earthy taste. Each of the three breakfast sandwiches I explored were served on bagels that are freshly made in house every day at 4:30 AM. Rainbow Bagel with Birthday Cake Cream Cheese: Here is a colorful way to start the day! As soon as you take your first bite, you are going to wish your birthday was every day so you can have an excuse to always order this specialty bagel. Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese: There is more than a fair share of taylor ham slices. The hash brown along with SPK were also great supplements to this classic sandwich! Originally, I was hesitant to try the marble rye bagel, but the added marble blended out the rye smell giving the bagel a delicious texture. Egg, Avocado, Tomato, Arugula, Cucumber: This is the perfect choice if you are in the mood to go vegetarian. The multiple vegetables are nutritious while still tasting delicious and the seasonings on the everything bagel provides additional flavor. As a bonus, all customers can purchase a half dozen bagels made the previous day for a generous discount at $4.50 per bag! It was a flawless dining experience.
