These were the best cinnamon raisin bagels I've had in years. The everything were also great. Nice crunch on the outside, light and fluffy on the inside. Just perfect. I ordered a lb. of cream cheese and they rang me in wrong for a half pound. I checked the bag before I left and they didn't even put the half pound in, so just be careful leaving and checking your order. Other than that, it's still 5 stars for me because these bagels kick ass. read more

I was curious to try a NJ bagel after having grown up with NY-style, but I was very underwhelmed with my bagel from here. I got a bagel with lox and it was very bread-y and had no crunch at all. The bagel also didn't come with any lettuce or tomato (which sometimes happens if you don't specify so I don't knock them too much for this). My bagel also came with a side of either coleslaw, macaroni salad, or potato salad, + a pickle. I got the macaroni salad but I really disliked it I arrived here around 9 AM with my fiance and there was already a line out the door! Inside is a little chaotic and there are only a few small tables for seating. read more

For what you pay I don't really think this place was worth it. About 8 dollars for a Taylor Ham Egg and Cheese Wrap but there was barely anything in it... Maybe ok for a bagel with some butter but wouldn't recommend breakfast sandwiches here. read more

Bagel Masters - Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese Wrap - Delis Near Me - Shrewsbury, New Jersey

Found this place close to where we are working at Shrewsbury nj. Really good bagels and they are freshly made on premises. I was in the mood for a roast beef egg and cheese that morning on a toasted egg bagel. I grabbed it to go, but they do have some seating inside the shop. It's not too noisy. The line can get long, but it moves pretty quickly. I'm definitely coming back here and trying the pork roll next time on a jalapeño and cheddar bagel! read more

Best bagel spot in the area by a landslide! Everything is made fresh to order, quality ingredients and the service is fast and efficient. There are a few small tables inside where you can eat (note, it does get quite hot inside), but most people seem to just order and take home. I like to switch up which bagels I try- this time I had a sundried tomato bagel with egg, cheese and avocado and a side of macaroni salad. Other people I were with ordered a lox bagel! Make sure to ask for the side of habanero hot sauce! read more

Bagel Masters - Sundried tomato bagel with egg cheese and avocado and two lox bagels with pickles and macaroni salad. - Delis Near Me - Shrewsbury, New Jersey

These are hands down my favorite bagels especially when then come out warm. Breakfast sandwiches great too. Bonus they last for days in a ziplock and then toasted read more

VERY RUDE!!!!! STAY AWAY!!!!! Bagles stink and service is litterally the worst. If you feel like getting yelled at for ordering and supporting their business, go ahead. The owner does not care to loose business and thinks its ok to treat people like they are disposable. Well sir, you will never get another dollar from me. I will tell everyone I know of your attitude and the way you treat your customers. Good Luck. read more

Not a huge fan of poppyseeds in an egg bagel as it changes the entire taste. Plus the bagels were too doughy for my liking. Personal preferences but unfortunately I won't go back. read more

Bagels are the best around. Scooped and double toasted are perfect. However, if you don't arrive early you're gonna get whatever is left. Pretty unorganized getting your order in. More interested in the tip jar. read more

This owner is so cheep he turns off the online ordering platform to save money. Hot bagel is just up the street. read more

This place has really gone downhill since changing ownership. The original owner Darren was nice and had the place running smoothly. The new owner is not friendly, can be rude and is disorganized. The rest of the staff has changed and that has gone downhill as well as the bagels themselves. It's a shame. read more

Best bagels in the area. 'hand-rolled, kettle boiled and baked fresh daily' The statement says it all folks! Any day that I start the day with Bagelmasters is automatically a good day. Their online ordering system is money. I've never spent more than 30 seconds at a time inside since my I get notified when my order is ready, which is either on time or even earlier. Simply walk up to the deli counter and let them know your number. Easy peasy. Let's talk about the bagels - they are for sure fresh, nice and plump on the outside and soft on the inside. They make a KILLER pork roll, egg, and cheese. Pair this sandwich with an iced coffee from Rook on a nice summer morning and you can thank me later! read more

Bagel Masters - Pork roll, egg and cheese on everything bagel - Delis Near Me - Shrewsbury, New Jersey

Solid bagel egg & cheese. Classic NJ bagel shop in Red Bank area, small establishment so the line was out the door but moves quickly. The bagel was rather small and you must ask for salt, pepper, ketchup! Also they have a $5 minimum for card. read more

Amazing bagels and efficient service. The only problem is that they close at 3, so don't be late.

Bagel Masters has become a regular stop on our New Jersey Trips Now. Their freshly made mini bagels are the perfect size to take a dozen back home to Florida. Their Pork Roll Egg And Cheese is perfectly made and delicious! When you get there expect the line to be at the door or even out the door! But it does move pretty fast! read more

I come here every week for 2 dozen bagels, a dozen for me and a dozen for mom. We freeze them (bagels freeze great) and use them throughout the week. The bagels here are the best I've found in the NJ area, even better than most NY places. The boil them here and that makes all the difference. They do get very busy during the weekend, but they have online ordering. The staff and owner are nice people. The coffee's good too. read more

Bagel Masters continues to be a "must" for my visits to NJ. Top notched service paired with great food. Know that a load of bagels is making its way south, to Virginia. I left the area in 83' to serve my country and I get "home" once in a while to get my fix. read more

Nice fresh and chewy bagels!! I love this bagel shop. My go-to is a simple bagel w butter with strawberry cream cheese on the side. I dip bites of the buttered bagel in the cream cheese and it's sooooo good. The bagels are so good I could honestly eat them by themselves. read more

Just tried this place out. The "Masters" is really a stretch. "Posers" would be more appropriate. If you think these bagels are good, you haven't tried any really good bagels. They do have a better crust that supermarket bagels, but that's the only good thing about them. The toppings are very stingy. An "everything" bagel should really be called an "almost nothing" bagel. The bagels are not hand-rolled and they're not very big. I saw that they were looking to hire staff, which is good, since the ones who were "working" there were mostly standing around and talking instead of filling my order for one simple appetizing item. Maybe they make good sandwiches when they do work, I don't know, but what I saw was not encouraging. Feh! read more

Best bagels I've had in a long time. Amazing NYC style bagels, great sandwiches, awesome wraps! Bagel Masters makes Monmouth County a better place to live, work, and eat! (Yeah, it gets busy on weekend mornings, but that's true for any good bagel place) read more

The bagel is doughy. The crust is barely there. Get some white bread from the grocery and close your eyes. Same thing.

This place is great! Bagels are big, fresh and tasty! They have so many options and offers for wraps and sandwiches (not just bagels)! I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a delicious bagel. One pit is it can be very busy at times so I do recommend ordering ahead, they text you when your order is ready so it makes the whole process seamless! read more

Great bagels, so good you better order online instead of the dreaded wait line. They have breakfast bagels/sandwiches and make many different types of spreads like strawberry/blueberry/jalapeño etcetera you get the point. Online ordering is easy and you get a number to claim your delicious treat when you arrive. The wait line gets very slow as people either do t know what they want, a co placated order usually involving the person being on the phone with other people to order for them. read more

Great bagels, fast service, great coffee. Real bagel shop atmosphere. Great experience, a total must go. Go right now and get some bagels! Quickly. read more

This place is awesome! They have every flavor of bagel I've ever heard of, and a bunch that I haven't! The quality and taste is fantastic, the prices are very reasonable and they are very quick for how busy they always are (very, very). I mostly get their breakfast stuff but their deli selection is just as good if not better! They make a good cup of coffee too. Be specific, I tend to assume a cream cheese bagel will always be toasted but there, they won't unless you order it that way, which is smart! I can't recommend this place highly enough, it's amazing! read more

Overrated. The bagels are undercooked. Busy joint so I guess they rush and sacrifice quality..

Everything bagel, scooped, toasted with tuna salad, onion, lettuce and tomato! OMG! I could eat it every day!! Always fresh!

Very disappointing. I ordered a bracing egg white bagel with salt pepper and ketchup. The egg white was barely there, if anything. There was more ketchup than there was egg. They overdid the salt so it tasted like it was fresh from the sea. I asked for a toasted bagel, and it was barely toasted. The bagel itself was also disappointing. Wasn't really a bagel so much as it was dense bread (which I know is what a bagel is, but what I had really wasn't a bagel). The bacon was good, though. Overall, I'd order elsewhere. read more

Probably the best bagels in the area. I recommend online ordering because the wait can take a while depending on how busy it is

I've never heard of this place before but my Boyfriend and I had to meet my mother at The Grove so I looked up bagel places near the grove! I came across this and due to the amazing reviews, we decided to come in and try! Upon arrival, the line was OUT THE DOOR! This definitely looked like a good sign. When we finally got IN the door, it smelled AMAZING in there! We got up to order and I searched for a drink to have with my breakfast. Usually bagel places have LOTS of drink options but they didn't have many here. But it's not a good reason to hate on the place LOL. I did read a review that praised their coffee so I gave that a shot since I couldn't find anything in the drink refrigerators I liked. I ordered a blueberry bagel, egg, cheese & low fat veggie cream cheese. We sat down and waited for our food. The food came out pretty fast! About 5 minutes I would say. When I first looked that bagel it looked on the thinner side than most bagels I've had in NJ. My boyfriend's bagel was packed with what he wanted and since the bagel was on the thinner side, it fell apart. Not a big deal though because the bagel still tasted really good!!! The bagel sandwiches were so good we decided to give their house made rolls with egg cheese & potatoes! I got up and ordered once again! The sandwich was also really good and we left super happy. I also brought my mom a poppyseed bagel to go and that one was massive! Can't wait to try that one! read more

Best bagel place around! Mini bagels are my son's favorite and I Love their breakfast wraps.

I was looking for a bagel spot and I am so happy I found Bagelmasters! Apparently this restaurant has a huge following and they just gained a new promoter after I stopped by this weekend! You can't miss the bagel shop on a Saturday morning based on the line out the door. We called ahead and when we pulled up there must've been 15 people in line. Despite ordering takeout, you have to wait in line with everyone else but they move through the line pretty quickly. We got to the main counter and our order ready so we were in and out quickly. I have to say the sandwiches were fantastic! The Pork roll, egg and cheese was so good! Perfect amount of pork roll and cheese. I'm glad to have found my new bagel spot. If you haven't been here before it's definitely a must stop! read more

Favorite bagels in Eastern Monmouth County! You can't go wrong here with bagels, bagel sandwiches, and breakfast. I think these bagels are better than most spots in NYC/Brooklyn. Cash only and expect a line, but awesome stuff. read more

Bagels are fantastic Chicken salad is also great You won't be disappointed there!!! read more

If you don't order loose bagels first, the cashier (Esteban) will give you an attitude.

I absolutely love Bagel Masters, it's a must stop every time I visit home!! We all know there is no comparison to an east coast mom and pop bagel spot!! The guys are always nice, service is prompt as well! I do wish it was bigger though! I have been coming here for years, and have tried many things, and yes everything is great! My go to is the pork roll egg and cheese on an everything bagel, can't beat it, it's the best in town! They make the bagels fresh on the spot daily! Stop in, and thank me later! read more

Fantastic bagel! I got a BEC with avocado on an everything bagel. It tasted so fresh. Will definitely come back!

What's the test that these are the BEST BAGELS in the area? When your 18 year old requests Bagel Masters PEC on a bagel for his last meal before leave for college out of state! Way to go Darren in creating a staple for our family! And to top it off, the curbside experience was one of the best I've seen for any establishment during the pandemic - SUPER EASY & efficient! Thank you! read more

Bagel Masters - the front of the store - Delis Near Me - Shrewsbury, New Jersey

MY PREVIOUS REVIEW WAS DELETED, and many other negative ones as well. This place has made no progress during COVID, their quality of food and service decreased dramatically, the system they made up while restrictions are in place is a complete sh*tshow. It is impossible to order anything during a busy time, and even if you are lucky enough to reach them, the wait is ridiculously long and order is likely to come out missing ingredients or just completely wrong. I would not recommend this place anymore to anyone. Owner seems to be pretty depressed due to such a large volume of negative reviews (complaining to his customers and employees) while doing absolutely nothing to address the issues! read more

This is my favorite bagel place by far in NJ that I've tried. I order from here probably every week. I've tried many of their bagels, and I haven't had any that I didn't enjoy. I'm vegan, and their vegan vegetable cream cheese is INCREDIBLE. The online ordering makes it easy to order & know when your order is ready. For sure would recommend this place :) read more
