Bella's Bagels - Breakfast with Oxana - Bagels Near Me - Seaside Park, New Jersey

great breakfast sandwiches . Unique and interesting drinks . Order ahead because they are always busy but it's worth the wait.

I'm down this way every once in a while. Usually when a rare bird is reported at Island Beach State Park. Nice friendly spot offering an adequate toasted (sesame) bagel and butter and good coffee. The owner and staff are very nice to deal with. Very convenient spot to pick up a crunch before heading back across the bridge and home to North Jersey. Is there really a fifty cent "toasting fee?" That's new to me. And rightfully prone to ridicule. read more

I stopped in here for a quick breakfast sandwich the other morning. The sandwich was very good and the service was also pleasant and quick. I got a sausage egg and cheese on a roll with salt pepper and ketchup. This is an average deli bagel shop, and a quick easy place to get a sandwich. If ever in the area is definitely stop by again. read more

Better service. Love the jalapeño cream cheese - a favorite I'll be making at home soon. Bagels are pretty decent but not great and charging $0.50 extra to toast your bagel seems silly. Overall a definite improvement from last year. read more

I have been a faithful customer of Bella since she opened. the bagels ,breakfast sandwich's and subs are amazing and priced competitively for the area. Bagels fresh baked every day and cream cheese flavors to die for. I am honestly shocked by some of these tasteless reviews I probably come almost every weekend with guests and have never had a bad experience. So what if u have to wait 10 mins for a warm fresh bagel out of the oven which only happens when it it super busy and also the bagels are constantly being baked so you always get a fresh bagel. Judging by the constant flow of customers the large majority keeps coming back so don't let a few negative comments tarnish a small local business. read more

Bagels were good but be prepared to wait. I order two bagels, one with butter and one with cream cheese and I waited over 30 mins. There were people behind me who got there order before me and they ordered similar things. Like I said, the bagel was good, cold when I finally got it because I asked but honestly not worth the wait. read more

I'm not sure why this spot only has 3.5 stars. The bagels are delicious and the customer service was top notch. The owner (I didn't catch her name) was so incredibly kind and friendly. We stopped at this spot a couple hours after they were closed for iced coffee, and she was kind enough to allow us to come in to make our coffee! So naturally, we came back to try the bagels...DELICIOUS! Probably as close to BK as you're going to get. We got a pork roll, egg, & cheese - and everything was cooked perfectly. Can't wait to come back! read more

Good bagels. The service can be iffy, it's often disorganized which leaves customers feeling awkward. I like that it's a hole in the wall type store but it could be a little cleaner. They run out of stuff a lot. I also noticed employees handling cash then immediately grabbing a bagel from the rack. I'm not a major germaphobe but at least use some paper to handle the food if you're not going to wash or use a glove. All in all I will come back, I'm usually in once or twice a month mostly for its proximity to my house (less than a block). Oh and the iced coffee is good, toasting fee is crazy weird. read more

Worst place in town. They store buy everything from ACME or over the bridge, I have literally seen them come in with deli bought lunch meat- with that being said I'm sure their bagels are too. Go to Lava Jave in lavalette or better yet go anywhere else. read more

Nothing great folks! The outside looks cute and inviting. They open for business at 7am, but don't expect to get hot bagels at that time. We went there 2 weeks in a row and arrived around 7:10am. Bagels still in the oven. So, we got a piece of crumb cake, which had been in the fridge. Ice cold crumb cake... not so good. Also, their service is rather slow and they are basically unprepared when they open for business at 7am. We gave them 2 chances to prove themselves, but scratching them off the list. Disappointing :( read more

A bagel places that charges 50 cents to toast a bagel is not a real bagel place to me. The women taking my order asked me to repeat it 3 times because she was distracted by the cook yelling at her from the back, and after repeating it for the 3rd time, my order still came out wrong. "Brooklyn" style bagel is a bit a stretch, and the "iced" coffee was hot. Will not be returning. read more

I live around the block from this place and I never tried it... So I went it n the lady was on her phone texting took a minute to order, then I ordered a sausage egg white n cheese, she didn't tell me how much it was that was being charged to my credit card... It was $6.42 for a breakfast sandwich & at that price I won't be going back ... This sandwich better be bomb because I rather eat at bagels & beyond ..this lady is an idiot like I said I asked for sausage egg WHiTES n cheese this bitch gave me the reg sausage egg n cheese.. The sandwich was decent but not worth $6 .. Bagels n beyond for the win always read more

I wish I could give NO stars. For the first time in my life, I was served a bagel that was CLEARLY not baked today! My wife's was the same. Stale bagels? I feel taken advantage of and disgusted. Really awful! read more

I got a bagel breakfast sandwich and the bagel was not fresh even though i was there at 6:30am. They also charge $0.50 to toast the bagel which is ridiculous. $10 for a bagel sandwich and small coffee. I should have just gone to dunkin donuts. And i dont even like dunkin donuts... read more

Went here this morning to get my bagel fix before I left Nj. Was slightly nervous once I read the reviews but I figured everyone deserves a shot. We got an everything bagel with cream cheese and a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. Ordered ahead of time and they were ready in the 5 minutes it took me to drive there. Bagels were so fresh and so good. Definitely my new go to bagel spot in seaside! read more

Some of the best bagels I've ever had!!! Hot, big, fresh and delicious! The coffee cake was out of this world as well!

Went there around 9AM on Saturday August 23. We purchased 18 assorted bagels, a small lox spread (maybe 6 oz.), and some plain cream cheese (maybe 10-12 oz.). They were busy but the wait wasn't too bad. No prices posted for the cream cheeses. Total was almost $32 which is pretty pricey. However, the bagels were rather good...crispy on the outside, soft-chewy on the inside. Being from Bergen County and a former New Yorker, I am very particular about bagels, so I was pleasantly surprised. I found the atmosphere was a little on the frantic side but the woman who took our order was friendly and pleasant. I will definitely go back for fresh bagels and maybe for lunch I'd like to try some of their sandwiches and salads. read more

Finally a good bagel on the island. Was lucky to get there right when a batch was coming out of the oven. Owner was very helpful and in the know on how to make a great bagel. Will definitely make this place part of our morning routine. read more

My wife & I enjoyed the bagels! Bella & her staff Cody & Alexa offer great service! Will be coming back!

Only got bagels, don't waste you money they come in a box and are heated up in a pizza oven. They are hard and bland and unappetizing.. disappointing.. read more

This past Friday We had our first sub from here and it truly was the best We ever had! Not only was the food excellent but the staff was super friendly! We will be stopping here again before ALL of our beach trips! This is our new favorite deli !!! read more

Wonderful food and treated like human beings not a number. Absolutely loved the friendly, personable staff.

From the outside to the inside, I love this place. From the perfect bagel and menu to the warm and friendly service - this really is the ideal place for breakfast or lunch. It's more of a home-style bakery/deli. Sometimes I just stop in for their coffee - yes, they even have flavored coffee - My fave is Hazelnut. And the lox spread is made to order....scored big points with me - was so yummy and fresh!! I have two words for this place. Fresh and Fine! Gotta go to Bella's. Easy to find and ample parking. Not sure, but they probably have party trays too - would be worth it because the bagels are JUMBO and all other toppings and meats etc are top quality. read more

Bagels are great but expensive..50 cents to toast it is insane where do you think we live Beverly Hills....but as a local growing up in N Jersey..this is heaven on earth....real bagels in S.Jersey.. read more

Bella's is the perfect location for anyone just coming onto the island of Seaside Park, NJ as well as anyone who wants an authentic bagel and fresh food. The bagels are fresh, most times Warm, if you get them in the morning, and just what you would hope for in an authentic NY/NJ Bagel. My favorite menu item is their homemade TUNA SALAD. They make it with Hellmans Mayo and solid WHITE Tuna. It's been really fresh and NOT fishy like some tuna other places. The price is so reasonable I don't mind letting Bella make it for me instead of saving a few cents making it at home. Good Luck to this WOMAN OWNED BUSINESS, so far you're ROCKIN IT read more

Went here this morning trying to support the new place on the block. The staff was so disorganized and the owner was so rude. I ordered bagels and there was a toasting charge....unreal. Also when I first walked in I saw a guy working in front of a large oven and I figured great fresh bagels. By the time I got to the front of the line I realized they were frozen bagels and they were being reheated. I asked the owner about the frozen bagels and she "what do you think we have time to hand roll them". I also heard her belittling her employees and as a business owner myself there is nothing that turns me off mores than an owner that behaves like that. Long story short we had a really bad breakfast and will never return. read more

We walked to Bella's for bagels and walked out with tuna salad on a bagel and 3 to use for sandwiches later. The bagels were crispy on the outside and light on the inside - surprisingly good. Even though there were 4 people behind the counter, service was slow. If you're not in a hurry, good stop. read more

was a nice little place, never been there before so I thought I would try it out. It's very convenient because I live right near and I can go there anytime I want. I ordered a PEC I don't plain bagel. very good I must say there's a nice lady that works there and cooks the food. She was on her cell phone and didn't say hello when I walked in or seem like she paid any attention. overall it was a very danklicious place. Will be going back again! I took a card and give it to my brother he will try it too read more

Good bagels. Resort-town prices, but love the gals who work there, the lime-green facade--and Bella's flavored bagel spreads.

Bagel sandwich was horrible, We asked the lady working at the counter if they make the bagels, she said, "we get our bagels frozen from Brooklyn". Better of going to Dunkin donuts for bagels. read more

As an employee here, I am shocked to hear the reviews about the owner. She has never been condescending to me or the other workers and is a pleasure to work for. I have never seen her be rude to a customer, she is always bubbly even at 6am! As far as the business goes, we have definitely had our kinks which is normal for any new business. We've worked out the kinks and things are going much more smoothly! We have been told we have the best subs on the island and as a bagel lover these are some of the best of the best! read more

Stopped at 10:30 am for a turkey and swiss sub prior to heading to the beach. When we finally tasted the sub at Noon we found that the bread was very stale, not just a day old but days old. read more

Stopped in for first time today on the way to Island Beach State Park. Very expensive bagels, mediocre quality. Too doughy and not much flavor. $.50 to toast your bagel, really?!?!?!?! Will not be back. Bacon and egg on bagel and small coffee was $7.85. Very overpriced. Back to Park Bakery we go! read more

Awesome bagels made with actual NYC water! Breakfast sandwich (bacon, egg & cheese) was delicious, and made on a very clean grill. I found the staff and owner to be extremely nice. Each sandwich is made to order, so you can't expect to be out the door in 30 seconds... read more

I've lived in NJ my whole life and this place has the best pork roll egg and cheese by far. Owner was friendly, ingredients were hot and fresh! read more

Rode my bike from the other side of town to check out this new establishment. The electric kiwi trim makes it stand out when you're driving into town. As others have said, when I walked in the owner was upset that her register wasn't working right or something so she was snapping at all of her staff members. I, too, noticed the 50 cent charge for toasting, which seems odd for a bagel joint. As I got closer, I saw all the racks were bare, so I thought I might have to just wait for the next batch of bagels to come out. But no, the friendly young staffer (not the owner) informed me that right now they just have muffins and coffee. I'm sure I looked surprised because the owner offered that they "weren't really open yet." So then why are all the flags out front flying and the doors open? Walked out, empty-handed. I love to support local businesses, but from what I witnessed of the owner's behavior, I'm not sure I care to support her. read more
