Solid delicious bagels. Beats NYC bagels imo. The bagels itself are always fresh, plump, bouncy, but then toasted to perfection. The cream cheese selections are classic and also fresh. The store is a no frills strictly bagel shop. No unnecessary items on the menu. It tends to get pretty busy so there can be a bit of a wait but the service is still pretty efficient given the circumstances. Parking can be tough tho on Bergen Blvd so just keep that in mind. read more

This is by far the best bagels I've ever had in my life. This is the bagel I dream about and I live my life being disappointed by every single bagel I eat. I do love New York bagels... I haven't tried every single bagel in the world... but none of the bagels I've had in NY have hit home like Boulevard Bagels. It's the perfect bagel... crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. There is nothing better! By 2 dozen or 3 dozen and freeze it... but make your way today! read more

New found local bagel place! Once I got my first bagel, I have been hooked ever since. Literally come here every Saturday or Sunday morning to get a sausage egg & cheese on a salt bagel (first time having a salt bagel and the combination is soooo good, I'm hooked!) I usually go around 6:30/7am and the place is always crowded, for good reason of course! Parking is minimal so keep that in mind. read more

Boulevard Bagels was once the gold standard in all of NJ and NY -- perfectly chewy outside, light and fluffy inside. Friends from NYC would always ask to stop by for this bagel. That's long gone. The bagels now taste like dense bread, and after years of hoping the quality would return, a recent visit confirmed nothing has changed. One time they offered to toast my bagel -- something no legitimate bagel shop would ever do unless asked by the customer. Fresh bagels don't need toasting, and any many shop owners consider it an offense. Long-time customers will find them unrecognizable. The five-star reviews claiming otherwise seem fake -- no one who remembers the original could honestly say these are still the best. To make matters worse, there is a pricing transparency issue: topping prices for lunch sandwiches are not clearly listed and are instead buried under the breakfast sandwich section, which is confusing and misleading. When I raised this, both the employee and the manager were dismissive and rude, embarrassing me in front of other customers. That interaction is what prompted me to write this review. Needless to say... I will definitely not be returning again. read more

Only good bagels in the area or ur driving 30 mins for breakfast. They always have the bagel i need and theyre fresh and delicious. Price is very fair for a bagel read more

Childhood favorite and old stomping ground. Absolutely consistent throughout the years for their superb collection of spreads and toppings. The bagels are made in house daily and are fresh as can be. Easily one of the best bagel spots along the Hudson and in the Tristan-state area. Super quick and efficient service and friendly staff. Convenient locale and clean interior. Genuinely a gem of a restaurant, highly recommend visiting. read more

Hands down my favorite local bagel store. It opens at 5 am daily and has parking out front; however, it is so busy in the morning that cars are routinely parked on the surrounding shoulders, too. The bagels taste the way a bagel should -- just right slight crunch on the outside and soft on the inside. We routinely order the onion, whole wheat, and pumpernickel bagels. We also order scallion and cream cheese topping to go. (I have tried the cream cheese and lox topping, but did not enjoy as much.) The service is pleasant and efficient. And the place is clean, bright, and well-organized. Like a good bagel? Try it out. I doubt you will regret it. It may become your favorite, too! read more

Cult classic. Childhood staple. No one does it better! The food is always good, the service is fast, and the vibe is just unbeatable -- everyone is so nice, it's exactly what you want from your local bagel shop. They don't always get it perfect, but they try, and honestly that speaks volumes. It's a small, family-owned business (I think!), and in a time when big corporations are taking over everything, it feels good to support places like this. This is it. read more

Really love the people who work here and the space. It's a great vibe! The bagel was good and the filing was flavorful. Wish the bagel was a little softer but that's a personal preference! read more

Bergen Boulevard Bagels - sausage egg and cheese on a garlic bagel - Bagels Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

Went to get a couple of bagels, asked them to cut one to give to my toddler. They told me they don't cut bagels unless you get something on it. Really? Hard to support small business when they throw some bs like that. It's a weekday, off peak hours, how hard is it to cut one bagel? Never will go to this establishment again. And the bagels were stale af. read more

I was a kid when I wrote this. Great business quick quality service. Food is made to order.

I have been coming here for nearly two decades. Food is always fresh and the establishment is always clean. This place never fails me.

There's been an inconsistent amount of cream cheese on my bagel lately. I'm just asking to get what I'm paying for--please stop cutting back on the cream cheese. read more

Bergen Boulevard Bagels - Sausage, egg & cheese on a garlic bagel (10/10) was the perfect thing to grab before heading on a road trip - Bagels Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

My Go-To bagel spot for over 29 years! All the bagels are fresh, perfectly crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. The mini bagels are a big hit if you're not that hungry or have kids. Must try if you ever want to know what a NY/NJ bagel is supposed to taste like! read more

I have been coming to Bergen Boulevard Bagels for years and there bagels really are delicious however today was a terrible experience. I ordered 2 egg sandwiches, a bagel with cream cheese and a 4th bagel cut with cream cheese on the side (my 6 year old is starting to loose her teeth so easier to eat that way!) The manager refused to slice the one plain bagel for me. When I explained it's for my daughter he said it's not their policy. Not sure how it's not a policy to slice a bagel at a bagel shop but seems crazy. I asked again kindly and he still refused. Now I understand if I was ordering a dozen bagels and asked for them sliced but one as part of a larger order seems not too much to ask for and really just a hospitable way to run a bagel shop. Anyways very disappointing! read more

Ordered two bagel sandwiches and breakfast roll. Sandwiches were made exactly as ordered. Bagels were hot and fresh. The employees were attentive. 10/10 experience. read more

good bagels that's about it- got a bagel with lox and cream cheese and they really skimped on the lox that it was only on one quarter of the sandwich. I would say just buy the bagels and make the sandwich yourself or expect inconsistent sandwich. the bagels freeze well i will buy a dozen and wrap ''em up and defrost one and air fry it when i want one. read more

NJ is known for its malls... its crazy drivers... AND ITS BAGELS!!! i've been to a couple bagel places but THIS PLACE i tried for the first time and it's 10/10 i got the taylor ham and egg with a plain bagel toasted (about $5) + a small coffee that was $1.75!! super affordable price for super yummy food they're doing takeout only here so when you walk in, you order on the right and then wait until your food is ready and then you pay! they have a $5 credit card minimum here so make sure you bring some cash with you! parking is a little annoying because it's a super tiny parking lot in front of the store off the road. i think it's still possible to find a spot bc normally people just come pick up their food and leave. but yea overall perfect place to go when you're in that bagel mood read more

Bergen Boulevard Bagels - Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese on Whole Wheat Everything, Plain Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

As a NY native, Ive never tried bagels in NJ before so I was curious about this place - Im happy to say I wasn't disappointed. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel as well as a Taylor ham egg and cheese on an everything bagel. The bacon egg and cheese was pretty good almost comparable to the New York version. I liked how they added ketchup to the bacon egg and cheese bagel. In terms of the Taylor ham, it was really interesting because I've never heard of or tried it before, but overall pretty solid as a breakfast sandwich. Was even better with the ketchup and salt and pepper given by the server. In terms of the service are there was a solid line but the wait wasn't too bad. In terms of the pandemic precautions, they use barriers, masks, and sanitizer was available for public use. Overall, would definitely return for another bagel sometime. read more

This "is" THE best store for bagels (period). It gets extremely packed in the morning time. They have about 7 or 8 spots, but you will most likely end up parking along the street. The service is okay, sometimes they forget things or don't make your food the way you ask. I would take a star away for that, but the outstanding taste of this bagel outweighs the sometimes negative service. Tip: You may have to park across the street due to the high volume of customers. Bonus tip: If you get there early enough you will want to grab a Nutella chocolate croissant and an apple turnover. They tend to run out of them and do not make anymore once they're all gone. read more

So I moved a block away from here a little more than a year ago and I average coming in once to three times a week. Bagels are probably one of my top 5 favorite foods and I gotta say these are some of my favorite bagels.. I literally dream about these bagels. Their portions are good, they don't skimp on the cream cheese, prices are great, and the service is always on point! It gets packed in the mornings so parking can be difficult since they only have 6 parking spots in front of their store. You might have to keep your hazards on and run in or park across the street and walk over. I usually go with a friend and have them drive around the block while I secure the bag(els) They have a bunch of different juices, snapples, water, and sports drinks available but nothing fancier like coconut waters or naked smoothies. They have a small selection of chips and gums/candies.. but most importantly, they have a selection of single serving pain relievers for those of you who are stumbling in to get your hangover breakfast Overall highly recommend if you're looking for a spot to become your new bagel spot. Won't be disappointed! read more

As a New Yorker, I would like to say I have pretty high standards for bagels. And I think that this place beats out all the famous bagel places I've had in NY! We are regulars here because we live down the street. This is your mom and pop shop of fully handmade bagels. The best is when you see them walk out with the whole sheet of fresh bagels and throws them into the shelf. That's the bagel you should go for today if you see them come out fresh. Absolutely delicious when it's straight out of the oven. They make all your different sandwiches. You can also have the inside of your bagel taken out if you don't want all the carbs. You know that they don't use preservatives because of the way the taste the next day. They work efficiently to keep the line moving and on the weekends it goes out the door and wraps around their parking lot! That's the sign of an amazing bagel place! read more

Definitely the best bagels of North Jersey! The service is great and the ambiance friendly! A must stop if you are in the vicinity! You will not regret it! read more

Got a lox bagel and a Taylor ham egg and cheese on an everything bagel. The lox was good, I wish the scallion cream cheese was a bit more flavorful. They also didn't have capers. The taylor ham egg and cheese was really good but my brother said it was a bit salty for him. We looooved the quality of the bagels here. They were hearty and toasted perfect. Also, the owner is really kind, sweet and funny! read more

When Bergen Boulevard Bagels first opened they were excellent!! I recommended this place to my friends and family but then from about 2 months ago their bagels went downhill. When I order a "special" aka an everything bagel or any other one with toppings I expect a lot on it. When they first opened they would load the bagels up and it looked so delicious and tasted great as well. Unfortunately, 2 months ago I noticed the bagel toppings started to lack and I'd get sooooooooooo disappointed the moment I opened the wrapping. PROS: friendly staff, taste good CONS: bagels don't have enough toppings on them. Rating when they first opened: 5 Rating now: 2 Averaged out to: 3.5 but if you get a bagel now.. it'll be a 2. (Unless you get a plain.) read more

This is the worst Lox bagel. It's just a few pieces of lox on top of a bagel. NO cream cheese, NO sliced cucumbers, NO tomatoes, NO capers. etc. And this cost $15 at Bergen Boulevard Bagels. UGH. I would give it a negative star if I can. Unbelievable. read more

If I believed in God and he had a place he'd hit up for bagel every morning, it would be this place. This place very easily packs up and gets jammed in the front on weekend mornings. To my delight, the staff knows this and craft your orders quickly and whip them out in less than 5 min. Unless you're ordering cooked eggs or something equally tedious to go on top of your bagels. By default, I go with: onion bagel toasted, smeared with plain cream cheese, and an orange juice carton. This is how I have eaten breakfast every Sunday morning as a kid after church (ironically enough) and always brings back only good memories. The bagels are $2.50 when prepared or 80¢ when ordered as is, by the way. Sometimes the good old things don't get ruined by time or inflation. So come here! Forget that Dunkin' donuts frozen junk. read more

Bergen Boulevard Bagels - not a single ounce of regret after my generous breakfast. - Bagels Near Me - Palisades Park, New Jersey

We usually love their bagels and drive out from Edgewater to get them. On almost any given day you can expect friendly staff, quick service and fantastic taste. Today however all three of our bagels were not up to the mark. The BLT had one slice of bacon (instead of the 4 we were informed they usually put in the sandwich). The bagel with lox spread had plain cream cheese with two bits of lox and the third bagel also lacked adequate filling. What goaded me to write this review was not the bagels itself but the attitude of the person I spoke with over the phone. When I called to inform them that we are regulars and love their bagels but today's order missed the mark, the lady that spoke to me was rude and combative. She decided that instead of taking the feedback as a learning moment, she was going to argue and yell back at me. Yes I know you have the best bagels, yes I'm telling you there was one slice of bacon in the BLT and no I do not expect anything from you except a thank you for letting us know our new staff needs more training. Just because you have the best bagels doesn't mean you can afford to have the worst attitude! read more

Can't compare to NY bagels but pretty good for what Fort Lee has to offer. I like the lox spread a lot and the everything bagel was fluffy enough for me. There's a generous amount of lox in the cream cheese, too! I do prefer more variety in terms of bagel flavors and cream cheese though. They also serve just a few flavors of cheese. But it's still popping during the weekend and service is fast. read more

Apparently If you're allergic to dairy and ask for a plain toasted bagel they won't serve you. Mind you I've been coming here for over 20 years and never had a problem. Yet today a "vet" employee decided to say I couldn't order a plain toasted bagel nor put my own cream cheese on it. Then proceeds to laugh at me as I'm growing frustrated over the fact this is happening (after I've received this service multiple times busy or not). It was not busy as this was happening. He said he would do it this one time then proceeds to keep telling me I don't understand. I'm like I do understand, just do it this own time and I won't come back. Then continuously argues with me. I am absolutely appalled at this employee and service. Laughing at me as if I did something wrong. Make it make sense. I'm so upset my favorite bagel place for over 20 years I will NEVER come back again. read more

So, here is why I will not return to Blvd Bagels. I asked for a plain bagel toasted but without anything like butter or cream cheese, because it would upset my stomach. I was told the policy of the store was that they could not toast the bagel if there was nothing to but on it. I said that does not make any sense, I can't have anything on it because I don't want to upset my stomach even more. I explained that I have been coming to the store well over ten years and although I have never requested a plain bagel toasted ONLY, this is so stupid for me to understand and I find it difficult to return to the store ever. There are plenty of other bagel shops - although Blvd WAS the best. The store policy, I was told, is because a person could order 5 bagels toasted only and then I guess use their own butter and cream cheese? Really! read more
