The bagels are top notch. Crispy, chewy, perfect. The eggs aren't made from freshly cracked eggs on a flattop which is too bad. Must try the bagel boards! I miss the other flavors of bagel boards like in the past. Get your bagels here! read more

Yummy bagels but so. so. slow. Got 3 bagels when no one was there and waited 15 mins. Like what?

When walking in, you are greeted by the workers and all you smell is homemade baked bagels. Very welcoming, cute little bagel shop. I checked on Yelp to find a bagel shop on our way home, my husband and I were craving a real bagel egg sandwich, and this was the place we picked. When ordering a dozen bagels to bring back to PA, we also ordered two egg sandwiches, just to find out, they don't make any hot sandwiches. So we sacrificed with two bagels with cream cheese, with our dozen to bring back home. The bagels were delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want a true, tasty homemade bagel. Lost a star due to not making egg sandwiches on there bagels. read more

In my opionion this is the best bagel place around here . I was hoping when they reopened they would keep the traditional recipe ,amd they nailed it . I know everyone has their opinion on what a great bagel is but if you like New York style , slightly crunchy on the outside , and soft and tasty in the inside this is your place. We get them every weekend! Thw owners and staff are all so nice too . love supporting a quality , local biz read more

These are the best bagels in red bank. Nothing in the surrounding towns is even close. The marble rye is favorite, and everything they make is great. read more

Smallest bagels I've found in the area. Adding butter costs $1.70. employees are rude. When an elderly woman said she was missing a bagel sandwich, the male behind the counter asked her to prove it and told her he could not see through the tin foil. Coffee was warm. Will not be returning. read more

Best bagels perhaps on earth. Best childhood memory is waking up to the small of bagels and knowing they were from here.

Serving day old and inconsistently sized bagels. Not better than a bag of Lenders from Foodtown. Expensive for low quality

The BEST bagels on the planet period!!! Even better than the previous Bagel Oven! My all time FAVORITE bagel spot! I'd give 10 Stars if I could. BO NEVER disappoints! read more

The crusty bagels are BACK! Stopped in today and I am delighted to report that the bagels are as good as they ever were.

Got a bagel with lox cream cheese this morning. Set me back $10.80. I told the owner I thought that was a bit steep, and he replied that it wasn't... Other bagel stores in the area will charge less than $6 for the same while offer a lot thicker spread as well. I won't be back. read more

The best bagels in Monmouth County. I have been coming for 40 years and get a dozen or more a week. Love their minis and flatbreads and bialys. Nice people and they deserve support as someone else mentioned in their post you try getting up at 4 AM and create the perfect bagel every day. The whiners are incredible on here. Go get a lenders than and quit complaining read more

The original source of bagels in Red Bank. I know it hasn't been under the same ownership throughout the years, but this place has been open for my entire life. It is where my parents went to bring home fresh bagels for breakfast on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Throughout the years, the quality of the bagel has remained consistently great. There are no reasons for complaints. Take note, the shop is small. So it can get crowded very easily. So if you trying to get in there on a weekend morning, be sure to bring some patience with you. read more

The BEST bagel. Brought them to PA, Fl and NH! Everybody asks for them when we travel

I have been going to the Bagel Oven since 1978. I have alway harped -"this is the best bagel in NJ- bring on the NYC competition. Since the Bagel Oven changed hands- the new owners have retained my moniker- This is the best bagel in NJ. Among the attributes- these are no LARGE bagels on steroids- what's with that trend? They are baked perfectly and the outsides hold just the right amount of crisp. The service is excellent and they gave me (2) extra bagels -and instructions on how to store them in the freezer. They get it! Now you get the bagels here and concur with my review read more

OPEN under new ownership. Very clean and modernized but most importantly, they nailed the recipe.

The bagels are not as good as they were, and the prices are significantly higher. Not sure this combination will last.

Stale bagels on a Sunday morning and staff can't tell the difference between butter and cream cheese.

Anyone who says these are the same bagels hasn't eaten them for their entire life, as I have. The original bagels were smaller and denser with a slightly sour quality. These newer bagels are a bit larger and airier with no discernible sour taste. They are decent bagels with a good crust, but please don't say that they are the same. They are not. read more

The service was absolutely lovely, and the energy throughout the store was simply top tier. Such kind staff and AMAZING bagels! This is my family's new go-to spot for sure! read more

This place was a true old fashioned bagel shop and also had bialys. Crunchy outside with a soft inside. What a true bagel should be. An actual Brooklyn Bagel. I wish they had raisin pumpernickel, it would be a big seller. read more

I echo the sentiments of a previous reviewer... THEY MICROWAVE YOUR FOOD!! What kind of bagel place doesn't fry/grill their eggs, bacon, sausage, pork roll, etc? Terrible, go down the street to Bagel Station or across town to Hot Bagels. If I want a microwave egg sandwich I'll stop at a McDonalds or Dunkin drive thru. read more

The cheapest most disappointing sandwich. Sorry to bagel oven but save yourself from a sad breakfast and go elsewhere.

Great bagels - cash only but an atm on site. Try to get them hot! They also have mini bagels, bit who wants a mini bagel!

Old school bagel joint. No frills but love the charm. Love the bagels. The bialy is probably the best I've ever had.

Place was good not great. I know it is highly rated in the area but it was nothing better than other places i have tried. One negative is i think it tasted like the eggs for the breakfast sandwiches were made in the microwave. The service was relatively quick so thats a positive though. read more

Oh yes this is the real deal here - the best bagels this side of the big apple. You do not have to ask for well done here as they all meet that criteria. Try the mini bagels which are the prefect size. Buy them by the bag, and as another Yelper suggested take them home freeze them for your next bagel fix. But, don't go here expecting to sample on site as they are take out only and a real hole in the wall as also mentioned in this thread. read more

The best bagels for miles and miles. Love the mini-bagels for a crowd (have to order in advance).

#1 they microwave the eggs and pork roll #2 when I ordered said pork roll egg and cheese the woman behind the counter acted like it was the hardest thing to do. #3 I had to repeat 4 times pepper and ketchup, no salt. #4 she was eating while making the sandwiches and my wife found cream cheese on her bagel #5 it was the messiest sandwich I had ever eaten horribly wrapped and just didn't look appealing (ate it cause I was hungry) #6 the woman behind the counter got into a fight with her daughter who also works there in front of me. Super awkward. Next time I'm in red bank looking for another place to pick up a quick breakfast. read more

I love this place and have been coming here for years. When I ask for an everything bagel I want an everything bagel. My last two everything's from here are practically plain. Step up the seasoning guys this is unacceptable. read more

These are the best bagels around. New Jersey is known for bagels, and this place crowns the list. I have been coming here for 20 years, and it remains the best. You can often get bagels still warm and fresh out of the oven. Toasting them is a travesty, and should not be done. read more

Can't say I would recommend this bagel place to anyone. Service is slow and the bagels are bad. It's cash only too and I'm annoyed I had to pay the ATM fee for shitty bagels. read more

The best Bagels outside of NYCity! Crunchy outside, soft inside. Nothing compares around here. People here complaining of lacks of ambiance, bad bagels, are just brats. How would you like to get up at 4am every morning and make the perfect bagels for the day? Takes dedication. Love the place. Always have. read more

This review is to make up for my post on DoorDash, which was unfavorable. I had rated poorly before we found the rest of our breakfast in a separate bag. It was indeed an enjoyable breakfast. read more
