Have been enjoying their eats and coffee for a while now, but the catering order truly impressed me. The food was perfect and plentiful. Bagels, eggs, spreads, tots, meats; all fresh, hot/warm, tots and bacon still crispy, nicely packaged for transporting and setting. They really nailed it. Big Thanks. read more

Cheech's, a relatively new bagel spot in Downtown Jersey City. This place is super cool! Walked in ordered a BLT and a Bacon Egg and Cheese with tatter tots on the side. Took it to go, the order came out super fast. The tatter tots were delicious especially the side sauce but the only complaint is they weren't hot enough. Both of the sandwiches were solid it was a lot of food, but once again on the colder side. It was also messy but that was expected. read more

Fabulous bagel sandwiches in a nice clean bright restaurant. Saw lots of delivery orders being picked up so that's a great indication of a fav among locals. read more

Service was quick. The entrance is a little confusing in that there is a divider but you're supposed to order at the register but then not sure where to stand waiting for your food. This is a really good bagel. Good chew. Outer shell has a little bit of crispiness that is what I just absolutely love. The everything bagel with cream cheese is my go-to to compare. They seem to whip their cream cheese a bit more which actually makes it nice and fluffy. The everything seasoning is pretty uniform. Impressive. Good job people! read more

As a Hungry Vegetarian, I love this place because of the: 1. Wide selection of Bagels and sandwiches 2. Coffee 3. service - Barista is awesome 4. Free Puppucino 5. Order via Toast to get your bagels on time 6. Spacious and you can eat indoors or outdoors I love my egg everything bagel with 2 eggs. By the way this place is named after a Rat Terrier/Chihuaha names Cheechs. :-) read more

I heard about Cheech's Bagels over Instagram and decided to walk over to try them out since we had the day off. I like that you order at the cashier, which is kind of unlike every other bagel spot in the neighborhood. I had the egg and cheese on an egg bagel and this was really good. I really liked that the eggs had a soft scrambled texture. The tots with the all day sauce was fantastic. I would get that sauce on the side and put it on everything. There's plenty of seating inside and the place is super cozy. I think it's also the only bagel spot in the area that has indoor seating. read more

Top quality bagels and great service! We've gone several times now and the staff is always happy and friendly, despite having to work hard for all their customers. There is usually a wait, especially on the weekend mornings, but trust me - it's worth the wait! Their bagels are soft and chewy. Their scrambled eggs are extra flavorful - you can taste the love in them. Their menu consists of standard menu items, but they also offer creative breakfast sandwiches too. read more

My trip to Cheech's Bagels was great. I was apprehensive about finding a parking spot but I lucked out. Walked the few blocks and found it very close to Holland Tunnel. Signage reminiscent of Cheers. Greeted by a friendly server. I ordered a French toast bagel with sausage egg and cheese and an iced coffee. Promptly served up with a smile. Sat down and noticed the sandwich had scrambled eggs rather than the usual fried eggs. I bit in and it was yummy. The bagel was chewy and crunchy. Really had a nice French Toast taste a d was covered in powdered sugar. Sausage was thick cut and excellent. The scrambled eggs tasted good but made the sandwich messy. Still powered through. I would come back here again but next time I'm asking for a fried egg. Bagel selection very traditional but they had some interesting options for lunch for a future trip. read more

Ordered: 16oz Iced Draft Oat Milk Latte (~$6) The Lox (~$16): cucumbers, tomato, capers, red onions, dill, chives, salmon lox, and regular cream cheese; on an everything bagel, toasted & scooped Aya's take: It's been a while since I've had a NY/NJ-style bagel so as soon as that craving hit, I found myself at Cheech's. It was 10:30am on a Sunday so as you can imagine, they were busy. However, it didn't seem like they were so busy that I had to wait 20 minutes for my order. While waiting, I observed a lot of inefficiencies particularly around the food delivery platforms. They really need to have those go to a separate line for pick up and separate kitchen staff (at least during rush hour). I got the 16oz Iced Draft Oat Milk Latte which is by La Colombe. I've had this before and it tasted exactly as I expected. It was light, creamy, and gave me the caffeine kick I needed. I'm so happy to say the wait was worth it because The Lox was actually so good! It came with all the toppings you could want on this classic sandwich - from the fresh salmon lox to tomatoes, cucumbers, and red onions. They put a healthy amount of cream cheese and my only complaint here is that I wish I was able to choose which cream cheese flavor I want (maybe I can but that didn't seem like an option when I was looking at the menu online). Also, The Lox seemed to be an #iykyk order because it wasn't listed anywhere in the store. The everything bagel had great flavor and I'm glad they toasted & scooped it out as I requested. The decor inside is also pretty cool but it's hard to enjoy it when there's a mob of people standing around either ordering or waiting for their orders. Decent spot and hope they figure out some logistics to make it a better experience. read more

Jersey City went from having two bagel spots to...four, it's crazy. 2025 has been wild. Between this spot and B's Bagel, I have to give the edge to Cheech's. The bagels at both are good, but this spot is a total vibe and the bagels just taste more....how can I explain it....more grown up? I dunno, but that on top of the marketing and branding is totally dope. I have never had to wait long for my orders which also helps me pick this one over B's Bagels. I'm in and out, it's quick, it's fast and convenient. read more

Before i got a whole egg shell in a bite of the bagel i really enjoyed it! I will definitely try this place again but my first experience have crunching on an egg shell was not the best. please be more careful with the eggs next time read more

Possibly my favorite bagel place in JC. Solid bagels, really good egg sandwiches, and good coffee too. Can't speak too much on the cream cheese spreads but the breakfast sandwiches are pretty great. I love the "soft" scramble style eggs with chives - may not be everyone's jam but it's definitely mine! Keep coming back even though it's not the closest bagel place for me. Taylor ham egg and cheese on everything all the way! read more

Cold brew: amazing. Everything bacon egg and cheese: fantastic. Tator tots: superb. Vibes were immaculate. Staff was super friendly. A bit pricey, but the quality and taste of the food makes up for it. read more

I actually really like the food here. The pork roll, egg and cheese on a bagel is fantastic. However, I have been here twice and each time they have allowed dogs in the restaurant. Mind you, I love dogs, just not while I'm eating. Also, the corgi was really shedding. Gross! read more

We discovered Cheech's bagels after our flight at JFK was canceled. We had to wait two more days to fly out, so we found a hotel in Jersey City and decided to try out the local food scene. Cheech's is an absolute gem!! Fabulous food-LOTS of lox was on my bagel AND my bagel was gluten free!! Ivan is a BOMB bagel assembler!! Superb and caring service. Stephanie was so polite and helpful. We spoke to her on the phone and also ordered with her from the counter. Austin saw us at the counter and after he was finished making a coffee drink, came over to our table to see what we needed! And he makes a fabulous chai latte! Ambiance was cozy and charming! Great seating and the feel was so positive. We ordered bagels to take back to Oregon with us. We also sampled the blueberry bagel with Ivan's special churro butter-amazing. I'm hoping they can ship to Oregon! read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. I have given this place a few chances but every time my order comes wrong and the worst quality!! Eggs never seem to be cooked right (also one egg is not enough for a bagel!) sausage also taste raw, can never give me the right bagel either! Asked for plain bagel got sesame, asked for egg bagel got a sesame, if that's all you have say so. Also the staff is HORRIBLE, I am nothing but polite to customer service because I am in customer service myself so I get it, but the attitude and lack of respect that comes from the workers is disgraceful. I will never eat from here again, and never recommend to anyone. The only good I can say is the latte is high quality, regular iced coffee not as good. read more

Very nice and clean spot. Many options, bagels, cream cheese spreads, pastries and more. Iced coffee was good. Clean spot and fast service regardless of long line. read more

Great classic bagel spot with quality food and a great ambiance. Quick service and friendly staff. Very happy to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

Friendly service, hard working staff, cool vibes, and good stuff overall. I recommend their egg n cheese. But the amount of scallions you'll get in there I s very inconsistent; if you get a visible amount, it's your lucky day! read more

What I got vs what I ordered. This is the most depressing bagel sandwich I have ever received. They didn't even put tomato OR cucumber on it. Cost $9.50. Barely any cream cheese. If it was busy MAYBE I would understand but the place was empty. read more

First time here and have mixed feelings. Ordered an egg bagel sandwich with eggs and bacon, but unfortunately received an everything bagel. I like everything bagels, but that's not really the point, and as I've seen others say, it's a bit on the salty side. Combine that with the saltiness of the bacon and I could see why some people might be put off by this. I also ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese. Found both the bagel and the cream cheese to be "fine" but mostly forgettable. Both kind of bland honestly, but still not bad. Also note that this seems to be a dog-friendly establishment - there were two pups while I was in there. I don't really mind this, though the space is a bit small for multiple dogs I think, and if either was poorly trained/misbehaving then I may have been a little annoyed. Staff was friendly. I enjoyed the music that was playing, though it was maybe slightly loud. I'll give Cheech's another try, especially since I live just down the road, but won't expect to be wow'd by it going forward. read more

Nice place, great design , friendly neighborhood vibe. Is exactly what the neighborhood needed. I tried it today, and the everything bagel was way too salty. You guys can fix that! Trust me it's true, I've also heard the same on Reddit from someone else who tried it. Other than that egg and cheese for five something was pretty good! read more

Never heard of the place until this morning when my gf suggested we check it out. John is the man and had us try their draft oat milk latte which was fire. The everything bagels aren't overly salty and the all day sauce on the tots is 10/10 would recommend read more

Bagels are good- not better or worse than b bagels imo. The BEC was ok- I've had better. Operations is kind of a mess. No communication from the register to the grill. All employees confused and overwhelmed. They need menus or a QR code in the back to scan when waiting in line bc you just cannot see the main menu when there's tons of people in front of you and pushing to get past. And they specify on the main menu that's there's a larger menu... so maybe provide that so there is less confusion when people get to the register. place is stylish, clean, overall friendly. Overall I think they will get a better system down the road, lots of people in the community definitely show up! Will still go back. read more

The spicy cream cheese and coffee is unmatched to anything I've ever had before, would definitely recommend that. The cashier girl named Ella was also very nice and pretty and helped me choose what to get. The overall vibe of the place is amazing including their music taste! Would recommend 10/10. read more

Best BEC in NJ. Great cold brew coffee from a keg. big menu, cool decorating. Good service, good music.

Best bagels I've had in a long time (and good bagels are getting harder to find) and absolutely the best scrambled eggs I've ever had in my life. Also got bacon and tater tots which were excellent. You can tell they put a lot of effort into everything they make. Definitely recommend! read more

Don't go here on a weekend, line out the door. Called a head for pick up, waited in line, and when we got to the register the guy says "our order didn't hit yet". Like putting in an order was like putting in a ticket for the lottery. Many unhappy customers waiting for a bagel for over 40 mins?!?! FOH Might as well go to the diner. Place looks nice tho. Real tight when the line is out the door and when there's families eating inside with their dog. read more
