Bagel University has amazing bagels with unique cream cheese and sandwiches. In the world of breakfast sandwiches, theirs are a force to be reckoned with. Personally I feel the have way too many employees, which sometimes turns into too many cooks in the kitchen. When they nail your order, you have the best in the town. Unfortunately, there is an issue with people getting the wrong thing. A few times on my own order. Seriously a great meal. Just check it before you leave. read more

Really delicious spot. French toast, plain, onion, and sesame are their best works of art. Their veggie cream cheese is delicious. They stay fresh tasting for about a day I'll be back read more

I dont understand how this place is only 3 Stars..... second time here and everything was great! Drove over an hour and its worth it... I will update on how awesome the food and service is later in detail. read more

Don't be fooled by the name! They don't offer any degrees but do offer the best bagels in the area. I don't typically order their sandwiches since the specialty ones are $10 (though when I have I've enjoyed them), but I love ordering a dozen or so bagels online to pickup, bring home, and enjoy. Would definitely recommend ordering ahead to avoid the wait you might encounter on the weekends! I'm glad they've reopened in this different location but have a few thoughts on ways that the experience could be improved, hence why Bagel U is a (generous) 4/5 for me: - Seating could be more accessible (the tables are either high tops or a counter with chairs that are too low for comfort, and the only other options are either picnic tables outside in the parking lot or couches). A minor adjustment here would be great to make the seating more friendly for elderly folks and those who aren't as able-bodied. - The line and waiting situation could be more functional if they roped it into a snake so that it's easier to read the menu and figure out what to order before you're up at the counter. - Customer service could be friendlier when closing up. It's missing the old place's welcoming charm. Rooting for this place in the new location and would recommend it for those seeking an actually solid bagel in SNJ. read more

Unfortunately, this is the only bagel shop in town. I attempted to place an order over the phone and was put on hold for 6 minutes. I waited to so long, my battery died (not really...just being sarcastic). I hung up and called back, where I finally placed my order. I arrived in 20 minutes as instructed to only wait another 20 minutes. Their parking lot is the worst. It's so small I couldn't park my kid's power wheels. I only order 2 breakfast sandwiches, not a bagel tray. I returned home to find I received someone else's order and not my own. When I called back and explained to the girl I received the wrong order, she replied, God Damn it." Not wanting to go back, I just ate this poor bastard breakfast, to find my sandwich had microwaved eggs. Who the hell microwaves eggs when you have a grill. Two breakfast sandwiches and an orange juice equals $22.00. Overall, the worst experience I have had in a long time. They need a big tent draped over the building because this place is a circus. read more

A dozen plain and a dozen onion for the future. As good as I've ever had in NYC or even from the defunct Friedman's Bakery in Vineland. Easily ordered online with pickup date and time selected. I was texted 15 minutes before pickup time to notify me my order was ready. Totally convenient. Even bought a toasted onion with butter and cream cheese. Delicious! read more

Good food Service not happy my order got lost waited 45mjns and just got sorry. They don't care because of the turnaround of business. Very busy good for them read more

Great assortment of bagels, spreads and just all around sandwiches. No skimping on what's inside the bagels either. Coffee was very good and welcomed the chance to sit, relax and enjoy in a comfortable setting read more

You would be hard pressed to find a bagel place that can compete with Bagel U in the surrounding area. Love their new location & continued partnership Macs Amour. The bigger location has come with a bigger menu, and they've up the ante with grills in the kitchen now, which has definitely improved their breakfast sandwiches. We got their loaded tots, which were a beast on their own. Tots were super crispy, and topped with cheese and chipped beef - really yummy and filling. The space itself is really well done - clean fishes, plenty of seating, and even a cute space with couches and a tv. Parking can be a headache when you are there with the rush of morning bagel-getters, but if you are patient or are willing to park up the street, you won't have much of a problem. read more

Picked up some bagels and house made cream cheeses for a girls week. The bagels were great! The cream cheeses were really tasty. Will definitely be back! read more

The bagels were unbelievable. Soooo good. Coffee was good too.Had the bagel scooped and toasted and the waitress did that without a word . Some places don't like to do that read more

I have visited the new location three times since they have opened. Service has been friendly and efficient even while they are getting slammed. Bagels were quality. Sandwiches have improved now that they offer scrambled or fried egg. The interior is cute and there is plenty of seating. They did a good job marrying the Macs Amour space with Bagel U. It is nice to see small businesses growing and improving. I will continue to support them and hopefully they continue to provide good service. It is no secret from past reviews that orders go wrong too frequently and some of the staff can be snippy. I have had those experiences as well and actually stopped being a customer for years due to it. Considering this a fresh start and will continue to be a customer. read more

The bagels are always fresh. They have a great assortment of cream cheeses. Great sandwiches. Great staff

So I ordered on Grub Hub. This place adds more to the cost than if you just go there. Some places do that I have learned. We ordered 2 steak, egg, and cheese bagels. $12.99 each. Then says add cheese for $1. Its a steak, egg, AND cheese. Why would I have to pay a dollar? I put a note about that on the order. Also that I wanted fried eggs and not scrambled...just so you know they do both so say what you want as it dosnt give you the choice on GH. Someone called from there and said do you want cheese or not. I said it comes with cheese why would I add cheese and pay more? You just do..do you want cheese? Yes...American. I was annoyed as $13 is already pricey. Anyway...driver delivered it and the bag must have weighed 4 lbs!!! These babies were BIG! They were very good!!! The steak was well seasoned and there was A LOT. The bagels were huge. I felt better about paying a bit more after I was eating this bad boy. Ill hit them up again but not on GrubHub. read more

Used to live in Vineland for most of my life still go down to the area every few weeks for a haircut and decided to stop into the new bagel university location after not being there for a bagel in a long time and I will say that I won't be returning ..everyone seemed to have an annoyed attitude no one was very friendly and I even asked the guy if the original location was also still open along with the new one and he gave me a short answer and rolled his eyes. I was polite and friendly to everyone like I usually am and I felt very out of place in there and didn't feel welcomed..so I will make sure I do not return they have lost my business..it's not hard to just be nice and friendly especially if you want people to return to your place of business. read more

Found this place by accident, now I go at least once a week (sometimes two or three times). Even when they're extremely busy everyone is super friendly and I've never had a problem with my order. Prices are fair, food is delicious. Their iced coffee is one of my favorites I've had. read more

Very solid bagel place! The sandwiches were packed and the bagels were good- I had the egg bagel, which had a very doughy texture. Would stop by again. read more

If a customer requests a bagel TOASTED DARK.... TOAST. IT. DARK. This is the second time I've ordered a bagel toasted dark and it's not even toasted at all. Why even give the option of toasting it dark? On top if it, my bagel was 1/2 the size of my husbands and the online ordering system is a hot mess. read more

Went to their new location three times and all three times I had an issue with service. Wrong order two times, and one time they completely forgot to make my sandwich. Sorry, three strikes, you're out! read more

I am incredibly disappointed with both service & product. I have ordered and eaten at this location several times. Order was placed at 10:45 am and was not delivered until 11:35am. We were told it would be 30 minutes. The sandwich's were cold and bagels were rock hard. My boyfriend called to speak to a manager and was spoken to both aggressively and extremely rudely. The woman he spoke to argued and gave many excuses without an apology. He was told our home was a far drive and that is why our order took as long as it did. He was abruptly hung up on. I called back myself and spoke to another woman who explained that it's their busiest time and they are short staffed. As someone who has worked in the service and food industry, being short staffed is a sorry excuse to be spoken to so rudely. Even after the wait my boyfriend still tipped 20% to the delivery driver. The driver didn't apologize for the wait or say thank you for the tip. We later were told he was the manager. GPS puts this location at 2.9 miles from my home. Distance may be relative, but to most that is not a far drive. Unfortunately, would not recommend this place. Two thumbs down. read more

Use to be an awesome place, but customer service is terrible! It's more of if you don't like what I'm doing go somewhere else attitude. It's the food service industry, mistakes are part of the buisness. Especially when it's the employees fault, you don't debate it or make reasons, why it happen, just handle it. I stopped going there after the last mistake. They kept conversating while taking the order, screwed it up and forgot what I asked for & didn't even write it down, then gets an attitude because of their screw up. What world do you live it? Last time, I'm sure they won't miss me & I them. There's a bunch more breakfast spots that are have much better customer service. Another thing, everyone is going through the pandemic, not just a few. So please with the excuses. read more

My favorite place to get bagels! I've been coming here for years and i've always had a good experience, the bagels are always soft and taste fresh & I love the variety of bagels and cream cheese they offer! Their staff is friendly and quick with your order. Also the store is a cozy place to sit and have breakfast & coffee with some friends! read more

I have been here 4-5 times. The food is always great! Love their bagels. Service is perfunctory but not rude

slow place sat there for 15 minutes in line and no one taking orders just talking and walking around

Stopped into Bagel U. West - last week and had an everything bagel and a BLT. The bagels were super delicious and had really good texture. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe and the bacon was real and freshly cooked, not that cardboard precooked stuff places use now. Can't wait to go back! read more

Such a shame that we received a defective bagel yesterday in a to go order because I love these bagels! However, it should go without saying that nobody should be given a bagel like this without being asked if its okay (if it was the last of its kind) or without a discount. Otherwise, these bagels are great & well priced! read more

I had to write a new review because I didn't know how to reply. This was first time there and I would never make an false review to harm your business. My experience at Bagel University was straight to the point. The young lady at the register didn't greet me like she did the other customer after me. I tried to ask a few questions but she seemed like she was annoyed. So I just decided on a bagel that I didn't enjoy. I wanted to try Bagel University because my sister is told me about it. After looking at the other reviews I see I'm not the only one that had customer service issues. read more

New Jersey is known for their bagels, porkroll (Taylor ham depending on area) egg and cheese sandwiches. When you walk into a NJ bagel shop and you get the snotty attitude but the end result is a delicious bagel with a good spread or a particular sandwich, you don't mind the terrible customer service. Unfortunately for this shop, I'm sure the only reason their doors remain open is because of the lack of competition nearby. When you give me a snotty attitude after I ordered to then ask me if I want my bagel toasted (a clear sign your bagels lack flavor or the proper consistency) and only to turn around to nuke my eggs in the microwave and slap on a piece of cheap American cheese (which I was charged extra for) means you have no right selling bagels in the state of New Jersey! People, take the 25 minute drive to find a shop that knows that they are doing and stay clear of this failing institution known as Bagel University. God speed! read more

This was my first time trying this place. I was hesitant because of so many negative reviews, but I wanted to give it a shot. I should have listened to the reviews!! I was paying, I put my credit card in the machine. The screen came up and said "Tips" and then "Remove Card" so I took my credit card out of the machine. Then the employee began to say to me repeatedly, YOU DIDN'T PAY!" I kept explaining that my card was in the machine and the tips part came up. He just continued to repeat that I didn't pay over and over again. Then he went to get another worker. Apparently the machine didn't register my payment. Instead of saying to me, "you need to put your card back in the machine" or " the transaction didn't go through" he just went on like I was trying to not pay for my food. Not to mention, why do they expect you to tip them before you have even paid or know the total cost? read more

We got bagels here decently early (10am) on a Sunday and the bagels were hard and pretty dry throughout. They have several cool flavors to pick from, I got French toast and it didn't really taste any different from a plain bagel. Overall I was not impressed. read more

This is the only place locally I know to get a decent bagel. They are made on premise about 15 feet from where the display case is. The highlight for me are the "university" sandwiches. I like the Roma, which is an Italian bagel sandwich with roasted peppers. One can construct his own sandwich as well. The sandwiches are a bit pricey, but they do taste very good. read more

It's almost impossible to find a decent bagel that's not either uninspired or manufactured. Bagel University does a great job with me reliving my old memories of The Bagel Place, which used to reside in Cherry Hill. Awesome selection of bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and various other items. I don't think you'll be disappointed after coming out with a baker's dozen. read more

Not what you would think. Bagels stale. Sausage was under cooked. Garlic herb cream cheese was to much garlic & chocolate chip cream cheese was bland. If a 7 year old says chocolate chip cream cheese doesn't taste good, you know its not just you. read more

You re-made the bagel with the same wet gloves you washed the knives with. No one should ever have to ask you to use gloves when food handling, doesn't matter if you scrubbed and soaked your hands prior to. You had plenty of time to speak with me directly if you really wanted to, I mean didn't you make my order?! Not a good look and I will not return. read more

Picked up a bakers dozen bagels - tried the cinnamon streusel bagel, which frankly tasted like a plain bagel dusted with with cinnamon, and was stale like it was made two days ago. Friendly people, bagels are nothing to write home about tho read more

I love these bagels. Sesame with Jalapeno cream cheese. Divine.

We went here this morning for breakfast. Three of us got sandwiches. The bagels were soft and slightly crispy and everything was delicious and reasonably priced. The people working the counter seemed forgetful and not able to multitask. read more

Outside of New York City or Miami, there is no better bagel shop in the country! The owner, Carlos Villar, is a man of great distinction, perfection and integrity. He is not only one of the most brilliant man I have met, but he is equally kind, discerning and very selective in the quality of food he purchases and produces. He only selects and provides the very finest bagels, breakfast and lunch entrées and the very best cold cuts. Carlos and his son Mike are renown throughout the entire area for their quality bagels and other menu items. Besides being a fantastic chef, entrepreneur and restauranteur, Carlos is also a fantastic raconteur... And he has a large contingency of brilliant devotee customers around him every morning who come in to listen to and participate in his daily observations on the world and local events. The ambiance and clientel here are something Ernest Hemingway would have truly enjoyed - Sports, daily news, and just about anything you can think of is recounted here. Beyond all this, Carlos has a heart of gold and donates all the leftover bagels to local food banks and he is a man to be esteemed and cherished. read more
