But my overall all time favorite bagel place is still hot bagel bakery in Oakhurst.

This starts off dark but it ends with bagels and joy, trust me!…read more We had been at Jersey Shore Med Center all week as our mother transitioned, finally, at 4am on Christmas Eve. When hospice staff finally ushers us out of her room at 6:20 we are left to collect our hearts and heads and move forward. Mom loved the beach and the sun will be rising soon. But we are short on sleep and need comfort in this time. What says comfort at 6:30 in the morning better than the staff and bagels at Hole in One? We piled in the car to grab our favs and then ate breakfast peacefully on the beach in Ocean Grove as the sun rose. We reflected on life and death and family... And the joy of a soft, toasty bagel. I also had a Red Bull which may or may not seem insane lol If it was any other bagel shop we may not have gone there that morning (there are closer shops to the beach than this one!). I mean who goes straight for bereavement bagels at dawn after 3 hours of sleep? Well the staff at Hole in One are always so great and friendly. And the bagels are possibly the best you can get between Red Bank and Neptune. And their sandwiches? Delicious. That little danish/turnover type of pastry thing that was kind of warm when they gave it to me? SO TASTY. Please stop by when you get the chance!

***3 1/2 stars***…read more All Star Bagel got our business by default, but that's not necessarily a negative. I came here with my top-tier chum to grab a bite this past Saturday before hitting the beach. The downtown area of Ocean Grove is super tiny so there aren't a lot of breakfast games in town. We saw a bakery across the street with a line snaking out the door, and decided to go with the other open establishment within our line of sight that didn't have a line. That was that. There were a handful of customers waiting for sandwiches/bagels, but the line moved and we were in and out of there in less than 10 minutes. This is probably the least bougie spot we frequented over the weekend, and again, not an insult. This is pretty much dictionary definition bagel shop - no frills, just efficient bagel ordering/processing. I don't recall a seating area but if there was one, it was only one or two tables; this is a place you grab something to go, not hang out and mingle. There's a refrigerated area with some drinks, but most of the square footage is devoted to the work in the back, where everyone was super busy. We showed up probably around 8am or a little after and it was hopping. OG is not a party town, and this was exhibit A. Neither of us was insanely hungry (case in point - my chum finished off her order the next day), but I thought it was important to get a few carbs in before the adventures started. I went with a classic bacon egg & cheese on a roll, and my chum got an everything bagel, I think with some stuff on it. Perfectly fine. To me, it's pretty difficult to mess up a breakfast sandwich. My only quibble is that the ingredient equilibrium was a bit off - this was heavy on the cheese versus the egg. I'm sure tons of people are into that, but I like to be able to legit taste all three players. Otherwise though, did exactly what it was supposed to. I don't usually heavy breakfasts like this unless I'm on vacation (I'm a Wheaties adherent 99% of the time), but this was good. No issues, just pretty run of the mill. And given that we literally had two options, this was an acceptable second choice.

The ordering process was simple, and the food was ready quickly. I had a chicken salad on a garlic bagel ($8.99?) as well as trying six mini donuts ($7.50?). The chicken salad also came with a potato salad, coleslaw, or a pickle. I opted for a pickle that was decent. The chicken salad was the highlight of the sandwich. It was all white meat with an ideal helping of mayonnaise and other seasoning. The garlic bagel was alright, nice texture, but a little small. It was nice to see the amount of chicken salad present. The donuts I tried are below. All the donuts were light. Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - This was alright. It seemed to be more of a chocolate flavor rather than cookie dough. There was not a great balance here. Strawberry Shortcake - This was a vanilla donut with buttercream icing and a strawberry. I thought the buttercream icing would be too sweet, but that was not the case at all. It was delicate and complimented the lone strawberry piece nicely. Apple Crumb Cake - This was an apple crunch donut with rolled sugar and topped with apple compete, homemade graham cracker pie crust and drizzled with vanilla frosting. This was easily the best one. The warm apple complete and the homemade graham cracker crust made for an unbelievable combination. The sugar did not hurt either. Oreo Crunch - This was essentially just Oreo pieces with vanilla icing. It was not bad. I thought there were too many Oreo crumbles and pieces. The donut layer was hardly tasted. Maple Bacon Waffle - This was a vanilla donut in a maple glaze with a mini waffle and bacon pieces. I am not a huge fan of bacon on a donut, but this one of the better ones I tried. The bacon went well with the waffle and maple glaze. My only issue was the waffle. It was a little stale, but I imagine because it just lays on the donut as it was not made to order. Jelly - This was a traditional jelly donut with sugar. This was good. The jelly was thick and enough was present where every bite had a taste of jelly. The jelly I believe was of the raspberry variety. Will I go back? Yes.

Bagel talk is our go to whenever we're in town and we hadn't been there for a few years…read more Their bagels are still the best we've ever had bar none (New York City,New Jersey).They have a wonderful flavor that's lacking in other bagels. They have a wide selection. In particular, we love that the onion bagels have topping on the top and bottom of the bagel. They prepare egg sandwiches to order toasted or not toasted, etc. The variety of coffee choices are terrific and always fresh, which is another strong point. The service is very friendly. There is always a line and for good reason. They have a nice selection of muffins, pastries, and cookies and a huge menu of bagel sandwiches. Honestly, we haven't gotten beyond basic bagels and toppings, so you'll have to refer to other reviews about other items on the menu! Wish we lived close by because we'd be there every morning.
