    Coffee station
    Rose D.

    This establishment is clean and inviting. As you enter there is a self serving coffee and tea station. The coffee was very good. I opted for the decaf which had a rich, dense flavor with a lingering pleasant after taste. They offer white sugar and the usual sugar substitutes. It would have been nice to offer brown sugar or agave. I ordered an omelet with spinach, onions, mushroom with a side of mushrooms and bacon. The bacon appeared to have been made in a microwave (soft and undercooked) the omlete was cooked to perfection. This place is worth a visit.

    Delicious bagel and wonderful service here! Right off of main street so parking may be a pain but garage parking is right around the corner as well. I have been looking for a good, hearty bagel place for those special weekend breakfasts, and this place is it. With a display case full of homemade specialty cream cheeses, warm bagels, and fast service, what is not to love? I got the classic sundried tomato on a toasted everything bagel, and I must say, the herbs they put in that cream cheese had me wanting a second bagel. One thing to note is that there is a small credit card surcharge, so def bring some cash if you have any! Coffee is also self-service after you purchase a cup. A quick stop at the warm and welcoming BEC Bagels is a sure start to a good weekend.

    Picked up a TooGood2Go Order on a Monday at around 3:30, and they gave us 15 bagels! There were a few Montreal-style bagels in there, which was cool because I don't know of many spots that make these. They gave us a good variety. The bagels are on the chewier side, which I'm not sure if I love. But if you're looking for a deal on bagels, this is a pretty good one.

    Stopped in the other day to see what BEC Bagels is all about as I'm always in the search for A+ rated bagels where ever I go; especially in the tristate area. As we all know, having NYC in Bergen county's backyard, holds a pretty high standard for us bagel connoisseurs. While there are no shortages of places to purchase bagels in Bergen County, many of the bagels either fall flat on their face as they're not made fresh, tasteless, or just way too overpriced for "good enough" bagels. Luckily for us, BEC bagels in Hackensack, NJ does not fall in any of those categories. I knew I was in for a treat when their special for the day was "pastrami salmon bagel", which immediately peaked my interest. Actually, when I see something like this, I had to order it, which I was not disappointed in. I got a chance to talk to the owner there who was super friendly and definitely showed a passion for what he does. The bagel was fresh. It was toasted perfectly. The vegetable cream cheese was tasty. And the pastrami salmon paired well with the keepers, red onions, and tomato. I returned a few days later to actually try the bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwiches for which their namesake is derived from (B = bacon, E = eggs, C = cheese). Again, I wasn't disappointed. I'm glad to see that with the Hackensack Renaissance. That's going on right now, is bringing in more diverse food choices, other than pizza and Colombian food (which I'm not complaining about either).Yum!

    My favorite order thus far and unfortunately i have not tried anything different is the creme brulee bagel . Its GREAT PLEASE DONT LET IT GO ANYWHERE. Ill eventually order something else . But this is my fix. Ref Cream cheese and that cinnamon walnut one is

    Sandwhich

    Nice people, but if you are looking for a place where they will get your order right...look elsewhere. I have ordered here 10+ times and each time my order is wrong in some way. I keep going back to see if they will get my order right. Today I ordered a chicken cutlet sandwich with melted cheese and toasted bread. The cheese was cold, the bread was hard (not toasted) and they gave the smallest piece of chicken you can imagine. Not going back here again they need to do better and have their cooks follow directions because when I see the receipt they put exactly what I ordered, but the cooks never seem to follow.

    First time here, and I'm sure I'll be back! Upon entering, I was promptly greeted by manager Rob, who was quick to attend to my bagel needs! Baker comes in at 4am to prepare the day's bagels! Nice variety of bagels to choose from. I've enjoyed a garlic bagel, so far, and I recommend it! Omelettes, salads, and sandwiches are available as well. Stop by and check it out!

    Awwww.  Best Bagel and Coffee in town!

The beverage items were: Iced Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (Espresso swirled with brown sugar, cinnamon, and milk). I really enjoyed this beverage. It was served in a large glass and the presentation was appealing. It showed the flavorful espresso at the bottom 1/4 of the glass and after mixing it all together.....wow! The next choice was the Mocha Latte, with slim milk. The only thing I'll mention about this drink was, that it was the best they've ever had, annnnnnnnd they've had a lot of them. Thank you, Iconic Coffee, for creating a business with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxing ambience. I'll happily return and will gladly spread the word. :-)

It's also dog-friendly, which I absolutely love (I come here at least once a week with my dog, and they're always so accommodating and kind). The staff is genuinely friendly, there's a large parking lot (which is a huge plus), and they always have fun seasonal items to look forward to. You can really feel the care and intention behind this place. Highly recommend making this part of your weekly cafe rotation.

Regrettably, they were currently unable to make the pour over coffee. Woman working behind the counter was nice and the Americano was a solid consolation prize.

Inside is cozy, and very in theme with a global coffee type situation. Showcasing a large selection of beans, pastries and other goods. While limited, there is some seating. I was greeted immediately upon entry. I asked if they had any 'iced fluffy drinks', told the barista I wanted the 'creamiest sweetest thing they had'. I was told about Tanzanian coffee being sweeter naturally and said I'd take that. Alas, I wasn't clear enough with what I wanted during, because she started what looked like the most glorious coffee making process. Each drip emitting a luscious aroma. When I asked how she was going to 'ice it', a look of disappointment washed over her face. I hadn't made it clear that I wanted cold coffee. She started taking things out of the fridge, asked what size I wanted (no giant venti type drinks here) and poured me a cold brew maybe? There seem to be less options for iced coffee than hot. So, after all the anticipation watching and inhaling the Tanzanian stuff, I was ready to taste this chilly brew...Regrettably, it was so weak. I was overly disappointed! Thinking about it now still saddens me. I usually take coffee as more a confection than serious strong adult drink. Always light and sweet, leche con cafe even! But never has it been this bland or lacking actual coffee flavor. I'm sure the hot coffee is a contender for best in town, but not the iced. I could have gone the green mermaid place like a block away and got a tastier, larger cup. Sorta ps here, this is for the Englewood shop which is not represented here

There's a lot going for this cafe. For one, the drinks are pretty nice. We had small misgivings with our drinks. My husband found his chai latte to be lukewarm, and I wished my strawberry matcha were just a tad sweeter. But I was impressed by the way they took the time to muddle the strawberry blend into the cup and properly whisk the matcha. Secondly, the inside is nothing like you'd expect from the outside. There's a small seating space on the ground floor, but once you go up the stairs in the back and go down a small hallway, the space suddenly opens up to a cavernous room. It was a little quirky, a total surprise, and added to the charm of this local cafe. We came for the drinks, but I was blown away by the empanadas. They're warmed up in a toaster upon ordering, creating a beautifully crunchy exterior that nicely contrasted the tender, aromatic ground beef inside. I went so bananas for this that I sent my husband back to the register for another one while we were still midway through the first. The ham and cheese empanada was a close second, with the same fresh crunch on the outside and an impressive cheese pull. Service is just lovely. If you order comestibles, they'll bring it to your table. We were torn between two, so much that we asked our barista which she preferred. She certainly didn't lead us astray with her recommendation, but minutes later, she brought us the other one for free. "Because you wanted to try it," she said with a smile. Your options for parking in this area is limited to whatever paid metered spots you can find. Depending on what day and time you're in the area, spots can be a little tougher to come by, but I've never had to search longer than five minutes.

Lets start with the good, the cheese empanada was very cheese and with a lightly crispy/flaky crust. My daughter loved this! The caprese sandwich was warmed and so delicious! The chocolate mousse cup was light and airy with a crisp dark chocolate cup. One of the best mousse i have had! The cannolis my daughter loved . Now the bad... We ordered the mint lemonade for my daughter and found a bug in it ( like a fruit fly) as soon as it was brought to our table. When i took it back to the counter the lady just smiled at me and offered to replace saying she didnt "think" it was from the machine and just flying around. I told her it was unacceptable and would have been more upsetting had my daughter drank it. Then was given a light apology but thats all , which is so strange to me . Then i received the chai ( which at the counter i was informed could be made less sweet). It was overpoweringly sweet, when i took this back they said it was a premixed powder and already has the sweet mixed in ( very strange why i was told it could be adjusted then :/). Anyways, overall a nice clean place but check your drinks before drinking for sure . Loved all the food items we got though !

However, this happened over a decade ago and unfortunately, from my first impression of this place, there is seriously some need for marketing and a change tailored to incentivizing a newer generation of people to discovering this place. I was dissatisfied with the lack of desire to accept any of the coupons or online promotions offered by sites such as groupon and restaurant.com... The owner claimed that she had not been involved with the marketing departments from these sites, however, that is the only reason I discovered this place in the first place, and she refused to honor the coupons that we had purchased with our own money through the site. I wound up purchasing one of her famous apple cakes, which, in my opinion was extremely overpriced for the size, but I was sympathetic to her story and the hard work that went behind the business enough to purchase it. The cake was delicious, but not something groundbreaking. I know this is a brutal review, but I think it's important that the business makes some attempt going forward to clarify marketing directives and try to appeal to a newer audience instead of living within the same time period and not changing with the times. The owner is living over and over again what happened over 10 years ago and I'm looking for more creativity and expansion and collaboration from third party affiliates otherwise I see the business struggling due to lack of outside promotion and internal customer satisfaction initiatives.
