I absolutely loved these bagels. The owner was so friendly and the types of bagels were so unique. We tried literally about 6. My favorite was the original-- it's a mix of a bread roll and a plain bagel. I've literally never had anything like that before. I can't wait to come back to try more of the fresh options. read more

Amazing service and great people. Creative bagels, always tasty. Very fair priced. Would recommend, definitely give them a chance

This is my favorite bagel spot, I come here like once a week! Right up the street from my house, the same two guys are always working and they are so kind. The bagels are always delicious, fresh, and great quality. I love getting my BEC here, and it is amazing! read more

Aside from the extremely friendly service you always get, I had one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. If you haven't gone yet, go soon.

Decided to try this place after my go to (Eli's) sadly closed & got taken over by Bagel Nook. (Hate when instagramableness beats quality & authenticity in the business game.) Well anyway I tried this place because it was close by & seemed to be a classic deli, which I trusted for bagels. The bagels are pretty good: large, they don't skimp on the cream cheese, & they're a great price!! They also have a few pastries, sandwiches, soup, snacks, & a variety of drinks. I def want to try a sandwich from them one day. There's always customers inside & the 2 people who work the counter (I think they might be the owners?) are genuinely kind & I always see them making conversation with their patrons. Love when a business tries to build a community. There's also a cute seating area outside. The only thing is that they seem to run out of bagels quickly, even on weekdays. I've been there twice now around noon & they didn't have a regular everything bagel (which is fine I just go for a whole wheat everything) but that's something to note... Make sure you get there early, sorry to all the not morning people! I think this will be my new go-to bagel spot, even though I'll miss my Jewish bagels New York bagels will fill the whole in my heart. read more

They did an excellent job of making sure that my order was ready on time. The bagels are excellent!

Delicious New York bagels and tuna is especially tasty. Good flavor, soft and very large :) Great service, super friendly, they stayed open for us even though they were closing. read more

By 9 am, they were already out of whole wheat bagels. Multi grain bagel had zero flavor and tasted like yesterday's rubber. Whatever they gave me for potatoes was raw and underdone. I was pleasantly surprised that the bacon did not get messed up. At least got to enjoy that. read more

I get my morning coffee there every work day. When I didn't have time for breakfast, I'll get a bagel w/cream cheese. Always good. (I usually get an everything bagel) When I forgot or didn't have time to make lunch, I get a sandwich there. I've tried a few and they've been great. The meat is always tenders (roast beef, corned beef, pastrami). They make everything with care and everyone there is friendly. I've also used them for platters for office functions. Always a hit and always a great deal for the money. read more

Many years ago at a deli in Old Bridge, I had my first sausage, egg, and cheese. It was made by a large Asian guy and it was phenomenal! Since then every SEC I get is compared to the one made by my Asian friend. In the last few years the quality of the SECs in Central NJ has gone down significantly. Brooklyn bagels is the perfect example of this. The store itself was clean and there were plenty of bagels waiting to be purchased at 8 am on a Tuesday. I was pretty excited because I don't get my favorite breakfast very often anymore. The sandwich was terribly disappointing. 2 tiny eggs and a thin slice of sausage. It tasted ok but wasn't satisfying. The best transaction is when the consumer and seller are satisfied, that's value. There was no value in my meal. $4.50 for a disappointing sandwich. I honestly don't understand it. For that price you'd think you'd get a decent sandwich. You don't. To top it off, I got a cup of coffee to wash it down. $2.50 for a medium coffee. Again, that would be ok if it was a really good cup....it wasn't. It was just an average cup. There you have it. $7 for a mediocre sandwich and coffee that was just ok. For that price you might as well just go to Terrace up the street. Such a shame. read more

We came at 11am on a Sunday expecting it to be very busy based on the yelp scores. It was not busy and they had barely any bagel selection. They had all these options on paper but none actually made. It was raining outside so I am not sure if they accounted for it being a slow day. It also is a weird location off of main street. Just follow the signs on the door and you will find it. Taking a look at the cream cheeses it looks like they have some fun ones. I asked for oreo birthday cake cream cheese from the menu and after ordering I watched as they made an impromptu concoction on the spot. They literally took a couple oreo's from the box and combined it with plain cc. It wasnt too bad. The strawberry cream cheese is also well made and tastes like they make it fresh. However, at a bagel place it comes down to the bagel....They have a chewy texture almost to the point where they are hard to cut down the middle. The outside is kind of waxy. I see what they are trying to do but I don't think it is the best bagel I have had. We also picked up some fresh bagel chips which are my personal fav. Always a solid choice. If I am judging on the full experience this place falls in the 2.5 star range. Ultimately, the bagel missed the mark and that is the reason for the 2 star rating. They are giving it their best shot which I respect so I would suggest trying and making judgement of you own. read more

I live for bagel spots and this one has won over my heart. I've gotten a plain bagel with egg ham and cheese . It was perfect slightly toasted and the eggs were fluffy. Definitely recommend. read more

Delicious bagels. I love a nice chewy bagel with a good crisp shell on the outside. I got a bagel egg and cheese and very specific about the cheese and dietary restrictions. They were very accommodating. Doesn't look like much on the inside but really good bagels. read more

I came here with a coupon for a free bagel. Yes it was free, but still fell a bit short of expectation. I tried something different, a spinach bagel. But it didn't taste anything like it was supposed to. read more

Not the biggest bagel fan so not the best judge - came here based on reviews as i was buying for a work event. Have to say, lovely counter staff, nice selection (incl. a bacon-cheese bagel offering!). The cinnamon raisin I tried was flavorful with good not-to-crisp shell and chewy soft inner. Nice. Would come back next time I need to get a bagel order. read more

First of all the service here is amazing. I'm not one of those guys who goes to a place 1 time and then writes a review. I've been going here for almost a year now and every time I go, EVERY TIME I go the service is above par 10 star quality. They go out of their way to make their customers happy. Not just me. Every single customer gets treated with amazing customer service. The bagels are AMAZING! I highly recommend you get their before they sell out, which they usually do by noon. Also get the pork roll egg and cheese on a bagel. You will thank me before you even take your first bite! Yesterday afternoon (6/14/2016) I placed an order for the office. By the next morning at 8:15 A.M. I went to Brooklyn Bagels and they had my order already ready and packaged beautifully. Each bagel was pre cut and sliced and put in the catering platter better than I could have ever expected. Take a look at these photos! Brooklyn Bagels you guys are friendly, make the best bagles around, fair prices, and I just found out you deliver too! You have a lifetime customer right here! Thanks again, -Chris read more

Spoiler Alert: This place may say Brooklyn Bagels but it has no relation to the Brooklyn Bagel establishments you will find in NYC. Temper your expectations. They did not open up a new one in Freehold NJ. It's too bad because the staff here was nice enough but their bagels just didn't cut it. The bagel was warm but some of it was chewy and some of it was hard. This was a Jekyll and Hyde bagel all rolled into one. You just don't know which side you are going to get. If there was a kitchen, I didn't see it. The bagels tasted like they get them delivered here and aren't made on the premises. Sure enough, on their website they list two different locations with two different names. There is a bathroom here and seating is a little limited with a few small tables inside and out front. I found it odd that the more well known Brooklyn Bagels can be found in Astoria Queens but to have one in Freehold, NJ would be even more odd. My excitement dissolved when I quickly found out that this joint has nothing to do with the more famous one in NYC. read more

I have lived in Monmouth county all my life, and I'm upset it took me this long to try this place. Simply put, THE BEST BAGELS in NJ. I ordered the bacon, egg, and cheese on a sesame seed bagel and it was out of this world! The deli is clean, the staff is friendly; you can definitely tell that their food is fresh.

I had a bagel crave so Brooklyn bagel is the closet. They weren't busy. I asked for a Bailey with butter. I was going to eat it in the car. But it was very dry with no butter. I threw it away. Went to Eli's bagel was very good. read more

Don't think I'll be back to this place unless it's for just a bagel (which i hear are good)... but def not for a sandwich... 1st experience a week ago: ordered 3 lunch sandwiches, 2 were wrong... I called about 15 times to let them know so they could prepare the correct ones and I could bring the wrong ones back... no answer on the phone so I drove back (couldn't have been more than 10 mins after i picked up the food) and they randomly were closed (it was 1pm - no signage that they were closing at that time).. emailed and let them know the issues and they said "sorry, come back and we'll make it up to you"... so we go back today, I order a Tuscan panini.. panini is supposed to have fresh mozzarella on it... check out the pictures to see what was on it... what is this??? I peeled it off of the bread... burnt cheese??? Does fresh mozz even cook like this??? Not good... you would think after they made the first mistake they would make sure they didn't mess up again... what happened to this panini??? Yuck!! read more
