Man I love their bagels so much. Easily my favorite bagel I've had. But holy shit does the service suck. Never order online. You'll go to pick it up and it won't be ready and they'll still have you wait in line. Happened twice Other than the service the bagels and cream cheeses are outstanding

I know prices have gone up a ton but I feel like this place is potentially price catching. I had ordered two Taylor Ham egg and cheese sandwiches on bagels and my jaw Hit the floor when I was asked to pay $18. I could tell the staff was uneasy when I questioned the price It seemed like they also felt it was gratuitous. My initial reaction was oh I only got the two breakfast sandwiches, which she sheepishly replied that is the price for the two breakfast sandwiches. Now I can own that I probably should have asked about price, or figured it out on the board before ordering which was on me. Part of that was every other place I go and order that the sandwiches are between 5 and $6 so that's on me for assuming it would be within 10% of that. However I feel like most people would be astounded by that price, you can decide that for yourself. As for the sandwiches themselves, I do not feel they are worth a $9 price tag, however if we take price out of the equation. I do think they were good breakfast sandwiches. Now breakfast sandwiches are not a high bar but there are some certain things you look for crispy meat well cooked egg and a good texture on the bagel. The sandwiches did have those qualities so I would say I would consider them a good sandwich. Whether or not I would recommend this place, would solely depend on your own budget if you have the discretionary income to afford breakfast sandwiches at this price then by all means. Before those who have to be more budget conscious, you may want to think about the cost and coming here.

Delicious breakfast spot. Called the order in ahead of time and it was ready within 15 minutes. (Needed to prepay over the phone so something to keep in mind) The Taylor ham, egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel was hot and delicious. (About $10 at the time) highly recommend!

I always come here when I visit my friends in Somerville. This Bagels 4 u can get a long line sometimes on the weekend mornings. They have a good group working behind the counter to take and prepare your order, and they always get it right even if it's a large order!! I don't think the bagels are that great or anything. But they do the job for what it is. The cinnamon and walnut raisin cream cheeses are good. The egg bagels suck. And the French toast bagels are actually just cinnamon swirls. And pumpkin cream cheese is gross. No bathroom in this place, that I know of.

Bagels 4 U is always consistent. Both the Hillsborough and Raritan locations are great. There are hundreds of options to choose from with constant new items/selections. The new cinnamon twist and bagel button are worth stopping in for. Can be on the pricey side for a bagel shop

Visiting home, and needed a place to get my bagel fix. This place hit the spot. Fresh, warm bagels with perfect texture. The nova spread was very generous in terms of how much they put on, and also the amount of salmon in the cream cheese was great. Black & white cookies are giant and reasonably priced. I feel like if you get a bagel with spread, it's a better price than any of the bagel-egg sandwiches. Line also moves quickly.

I ordered the Sausage Egg and Cheese on an everything bagel, and holy filling! Never have I had two eggs when ordering a breakfast sandwich so be advised this is filling! The eggs were cooked perfectly (just a little runny) and the sausage was good as well. The Bagels are a bit tough on the outside, and soft on the dough which is my preference. The only thing to be aware of is there's a lot of cheese too which overtakes the flavor. In the future, I'll ask for less cheese. I do agree with others it is a bit slow. We waited about 5-10 min and we were the only ones in the store at the time.

So I stopped for a bagel here at this place because this is one of the places that came up on Google Maps since I'm not from this area so I decided to give it a try I ordered a everything bagel and unfortunately everything wasn't on it they're real cheap with the seasoning of the bagels and considering they're charging a crazy expensive price of $3.04 with tax considering that in Manhattan where everything is overpriced and yet I can get a bagel in NYC for $2.50 or less and they aren't cheap with the seasoning! I'm very disappointed with this place and oh yeah they drown it in butter which is nasty so to the owner I say stop ripping customers off with your overpriced food and stop being cheap!! Oh also they don't have rolls so forget about get eggs on a roll SMH ‍

While back in NJ for a visit, I had to stop by my favorite bagel place in my old neighborhood and it didn't disappoint! These bagels are legit. Got my favorite, a poppyseed bagel with veggie schmear; from the first bite, I was oohing and aaaahing out loud! It's true people, NY and NJ bagels are that good! The best, no comparison. In Portland, OR, where I live there are some shops that boil, bake and hand-roll to produce a great product. Maybe it's the water or some other magic, NY and NJ bagels are next level. I was there at 10:00 am on a weekday so there were only a few people in line ahead of me. I amused myself by checking out and taking pictures of the ginormous black and white cookies, and a pumpkin and heart variety which were adorable. The muffins were huge, definitely big enough to share. The inside of the store looked festive with garlands of autumn leaves adorning the case. The bagel bins were full, work area clean and totally visible from where you order. Lots of schmears to choose from: chopped nova salmon, walnut raisin scallion, veggie, raspberry, and plain. Lots of sandwich fixings like tuna salad, chicken salad, egg salad, turkey, ham, roast beef and different cheeses. They even make breakfast bagels with eggs, sausage or bacon. And the classic NJ breakfast, taylor ham and cheese with or without an egg, always satisfying. The workers were polite, they work hard, and do their best to get people in and out. Don't complain about the line! It exists because the bagels are good, so know that going in. See you next time I'm in Jersey!

Bagels-4-U is an okay bagel spot. Definitely not the best new york bagel I love but it does the job. I got an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese on it and I do have to say the cream cheese was really good. The bagel itself though was burnt and hard even though I ate it like 15 minutes after they made it. I also was really disappointed with my iced vanilla latte. I was so confused when I saw the lady making my bagel get the blender out for it! Turned out she dumped a bunch of heavy cream and sugar into the blender and basically made me a frappuccino. Definitely not what I ordered or wanted to drink at 9 in the morning. Next time I'm in the area, I'll opt to try a different spot for my morning bagel. This isn't a bad one, just maybe not the best one!

If you're looking for a nice well seasoned toasted bagel with a good cream cheese to bagel ratio, and a good homey ambiance, this is NOT the place for you. I don't think they've had a working toaster in this establishment since 1992. Coincidentally, that is probably the last time they renovated or cleaned the floors. I have YET to get a toasted bagel in the three times I've been there despite reiterating the instruction. The bagel are good in comparison to Dunkin' Donuts but that's not saying much. You can count the seeds on their everything bagels using one hand (please refer to the image below). And then you have to swim through an ocean of cream cheese to actually figure out if the bagel is any good. The prices are different every time you go even if you order the same thing. Last week my order was $18, this week it's $13, week before that was $11. The staff is atrocious. The minute you ask about the price difference or discrepancy they forget english completely. Better yet, I dare you to ask about the price discrepancy one time and go back there again. Because every time you go they'll talk about you in Spanish to their colleagues. All in all, you're better off going to ShopRite down the street, buying the bagel and the cream cheese, and making it at home to save yourself a mortgage payment and heartache. Note: image below of a whole-wheat everything bagel with 9 sesame seeds, 11 poppy seeds, and 4 pieces of toasted garlic. You are welcome for this review. A lot of time, energy, and money went into it.

Bagels-4-U is pretty decent. I must say there is always a line when I come here so getting your order takes a little bit of time. I am usually pleased with my orders here but recently ordered an egg bagel with scallion cream cheese (pictured) and was very disappointed in the egg bagel. The texture and taste of the bagel were completely wrong. Besides this one issue, I have always had a generally positive experience at Bagels-4-U.
