Apathetic, rude blonde woman maybe in her forties, could give a crap about customers. I walked in at 2:25om I specifically checked online to find they closed at three before I went in. Door is wide open with no screens so the place is FULL of flies feasting on all the food - gross, but I haven't eaten all day and was so hungry. She doesn't say hello, though she gave me a look when I entered, so I'm waiting for her to acknowledge me while she wraps up food to get ready to close. I finally have to say hello to her she just looks doesn't answer, clearly I'm a bother. I said hi do you have any egg everything left - she replies 'we have what's out there' - thanks SO friendly! I said ok I'll have a egg bagel with tuna salad 'we have no tuna' ok I'll have a egg bagel with turkey, she said I don't know if he is still slicing meats. I said oh sorry, I thought you were open till three.. she walks in the back - I guess whoever 'he' was, was indeed still slicing meat she came back and rang up the sandwich - I live down the block..I open a hard crusty, old bagel with turkey - I'm most definitely a NY Bagel snob but I can suck up a crappy bagel if need be but this was so hard I might break a veneer - no thanks, I ended up throwing the bagel out and just ate some turkey.. Trust me, I don't make up reviews, don't waste your money - there are so many better places that WANT your business. The only reason I gave two stars is that 'he' sliced the turkey for me and it was not skimpy so I was able to eat some turkey. read more

As a lifelong resident of Seaside Park Im recommending you go elsewhere! This place is only good if u are getting cream cheese or butter, there is one chef and even if ur 2nd in line on a short line and order three bagels with egg and cheese u will be waiting over 30 min. They dont have a big selection of bagels so I dont recommend buying a dozen here - better off going to Silver Bay Bagels over the bridge where u can have it all or Lava Java in Lavallette for a breakfast sandwich where their kitchen can handle cooking an egg. This place could seem empty but they are actually serving online orders instead of the people standing in their shop. read more

Horrendous service. Multiple people in front of me received their orders first. After 15-20 minutes of waiting and them not even starting to cook the order, we requested a refund and left. Incompetently run establishment. read more

the bagels could be better, sometimes there's barely enough cream cheese and other times there's like a whole chunk that wasn't even spread evenly. the staff could also use customer service training as i was given attitude over my bagel. This place is overall a 0, spend your money where its worth read more

Bella's Bagels - a poorly made bagel by Bella's Bagels. Did not offer to remake. - Bagels Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

Unprofessional and rude staff who are all teenagers. Bagels are not good for its price.

Very good bagels, subs and rolls. Large portions and fresh ingredients. Good selection of egg sandwiches, subs, creative specialty sandwiches. read more

Their response to poor quality and dissatisfaction was berating the the customer and trying to correct her grammar (which was correct) with improper grammar. Classless, which is fitting for the area. read more

Bella's Bagels - Bagel W/ Cream Cheese - Bagels Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

not much cream cheese applied unfortunately. I was hoping for more cream cheese but that didn't happen

The cashier moved slower than dial-up internet and had an attitude like I personally ruined her day. The bagel was hard enough to use as a hockey puck, and it smelled worse than the time I had to hand-clean the toe fungus from between my aunt's toes. read more

Horrible customer service rude employees gross bagels the workers there are absolutely horrible I would not rec coming here

Very unprofessional i dont recommend coming here. Throw shade at you and wont directly talk to you. So the people there are unprofessional teenagers. The food is poorly made. Although the place is alright, dont let it fool you. read more

Walked two miles for a bagel everyone is going on about and get back home and see cream cheese on my bagel. Wait no actually it's extra cream cheese when I clearly asked for butter. I hate cream cheese with a passion and maybe people need to get better ears. read more

Between The snarky staff and the block of cream cheese in the middle of my bagel.... Plus the place was suffocating with the smell of stale bread. I will not be going back. There are a million better bagel shops with a better bang for the buck. read more

Great service, friendly staff. Disappointing bagels. With so many bagel shops in NJ, this was my least favorite.

Not sure if a new owner took over or it's new management but this place has vastly improved. More organized, new interior look, staff were very pleasant and the bagels were crispy on the outside soft on the inside. I had Swiss cheese, tomato and mayo on a plain bagel, my girlfriend had a blt on a sesame bagel, both were great! read more

I ordered a grubhub order from here this morning and I can honestly say this was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. I also ordered a cold brew which was 10/10. Will be returning here every day of my vacation read more

Bella's Bagels - a hand holding a breakfast sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

Maybe don't go exactly at opening. There were already three people who had placed orders ahead of me. Only half the bagel styles were ready, but better than other places in the area. It seemed a bit chaotic. Cold brew was good though. read more

bagel was super dry and chewy, definitely not fresh. honestly tasted like it had been sitting out all day. kinda disappointing.

don't recommend. came by to check it out. super slow, didn't taste that good either. like i wasted time and money on this. but besides that, I later see that they threw shade on someone for simply asking what's up with the way the cream cheese was spread? abs disgusting behavior and who cares if it's at the jersey shore or in it. doesn't make a difference read more

Solid breakfast bagel. Egg everything bagel - pork roll, egg, cheese, hot sauce, ketchup. Cheese nice and melty. Good flavor overall. Staff were nice. read more

Bella's Bagels - Egg everything bagel, pork roll, egg, cheese, hot sauce, ketchup (ate first half before pic) - Bagels Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

I think they are about 3.5 stars but I wouldn't go to 4. I liked my actual bagel, it had a harder outside and a chewy inside, the way I personally like them. I got a plain with veggie cream cheese, it wasn't bad but it wasn't awesome either. My girlfriend had an egg bagel with butter, very simple, but it didn't have much of any butter on it. I'd come back in the summertime because there are honestly not very many good bagel places in the area and this one is definitely serviceable. read more

Bella's Bagels - Plain with Vegetable Cream Cheese ($4) - Bagels Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

Bagels just ok. Not very much cream cheese applied. Only person in there. Took 22 minutes to get sliced avocado toast! read more

Very nice ppl and very good bagels Would try again when in the area Thanks Bella's bagels read more

I would strongly advise not going here. It's very upsetting when you're treated badly, which I was for no reason. I placed my order online, I arrived to pick it up and the coffee was missing. I was ignored and then spoken to in an unkind way by both the women working there. This place is always backed up and seems like it's poorly run, but it's local and I want to support it. But never again. No reason to be nasty because you're busy and overwhelmed. The owner should evaluate his staff and the way he runs he's business. It's just bad. (And the bagels aren't even that good) go to White Oak Market, go to the New Park Central Mystic Lobster https://www.parkcentralmysticlobster.com/order, Go to Betty & Nicks. All Seaside Park amazing staff, owners and food! read more

I went to Bella's to get a sandwich for my dad and I. I was warned by him, a local of seaside for over 20 years, that the sandwiches wouldn't be as good as other places on the island. I wanted to give this establish the benefit of the doubt and order 2 bacon egg and cheeses for us. Much to my dismay, my dad was correct. The sandwich wasn't toasted, it was cold, and the meat tasted like it had been cooked hours if not days ago. We will not be returning and recommend you check out white oak or Jerry's. read more

Great coffee! Wish they had gluten free bagels or rolls for breakfast sandwiches. Service is always great. Can be slow when busy as the grill gets backed up but very nice employees. read more

Bella's is baaack and open for business. Great bagels...just like in NYC. Warm & fresh out of the oven with a smear. Great way to start the day. read more

Waited 40 minutes after I ordered in person, nobody was in the store before me. The pork roll was terrible that it crumbled. Bagel was mediocre at best. read more

i went in with my two friends and the service and coffee was all good. when we left I received the completely wrong order, I just ordered a bec on an onion bagel and got a Taylor ham egg and cheese a cinnamon raisin bagel. I have never been so disappointed while unwrapping a bagel. first the order being wrong and second the monstrosity of even serving a bagel like that - who in their right mind orders a Taylor ham with cinnamon raisin bread. my friends bagels .... the cream cheese is not right and taste sour and watery and the bagels tasted like they were bagged from the super market. never going back read more

This was my first time in New Jersey and I'm so glad I decided to stop here! The staff was so nice and their portion sizes are so big. If I ever come back to the shore I'll be sure to come back! Highly recommend plus they made my first time eating a pork roll the best! read more

Great place. New owners as of last year, I think. Love the breakfast bagels. Excellent and pleasant service. A few table outside. Order ahead. I used the Toast app to order. read more

I am a firm believer that the staple of every NJ beach town should be a good fresh bagel shop. I can assure you this is NOT the spot. Bagels are not cooked on site. My everything bagels looked like a sad plain bagel. I got a side of bacon that was of the cheapest quality on the market. I work in the food service industry and this is my first ever Yelp review. I actually hate Yelpers!! I just want to steer people in a better direction before starting your day with this underwhelming sensation of a breakfast. read more

Great food, I went in yesterday after a weekend down the shore and the blonde girl who helped me was very sweet! I ordered the famous Taylor ham sandwich, and it was AMAZING! Definity a great place to consider if you are in town. read more

The first time I came to this place was the weekend before Memorial Day weekend the bagels were nice and fresh I had a wonderful Taylor ham and egg sandwich everything was cooked perfectly and the prices were just right. I came here on Father's Day only to be disappointed by every price going up about a dollar fifty. Baffled by that I asked one of the employees why the prices had gone up that much in only about three weekends and I was told the place that they buy their food from the prices went up about a dollar fifty. I find it hard to believe that an egg on a bagel that cost a dollar 75 could be $3.25. My husband was very disappointed after me telling him that this place was great the eggs were undercooked and he did not even want to finish his Bagel will not be going back again read more

Bella's Brooklyn is simply the best. Bagels are always fresh and soft. On Let complaint is their prices. read more

Great place. Serving everything on a bagel, coffees, selected sweet breakfast treats. We just got bagels which were fresh and delicious. First time we drove past line was out the door. Fast service. We will be back. read more

Great bagels and coffee cake and the employees are always super sweet and helpful. Love coming here when I'm at the beach!

Super cute spot. Love the outdoor decor. Friendly staff. Nice bagel selection too. They feature the typical breakfast sandwich items. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese on a whole wheat bagel and it was doughy happiness. They also had homemade muffins that would put any chain store muffin to shame. Long story short: excellent little spot and places like this are the reason for good mornings. read more
