Solid place, bagels fresh, very friendly service. They need better signage because it often looks closed during open hours. Giant parking lot. EZ off and in 36. read more

I've been coming here for years. Only had one messed up order. A nice crew of guys who get it done. The bagels are good, not unbelievable. I like their Italian sandwich a lot. Coffee is old school. Breakfast sandwiches are good and they make them fast. Very convenient when traveling on 36. It's the type of place you want to support. I feel bad for business owners. People leave some nasty reviews. Sometimes I wonder if it's the competition as many details are just wrong since I've gone here for years (price for example). read more

Called in a large order on a Sunday morning. They said they would have it ready in an hour and they kept their word. They even brought out the food and put it in my trunk. First time having a pork roll and it was great, nice and meaty. Support local businesses. read more

D'Alessio Hot Bagel Express - a sandwich wrapped in foil - Bagels Near Me - Leonardo, New Jersey

While the interior seems to not have been updated in about 20 years, I had a delicious pork roll bagel here and the staff went above and beyond. 10/10 read more

I called in a larger order for my office into this place. I come here quite often and generally do love coming here. THe bagels are amazing, unique, and stand out from the other places I've been too. The ambiance is good, the employee's are nice. When I had got back to the office, I noticed we were skimmed on a few. I was upset about it, hopefully next time will be good. I'll update on the next experience. read more

$25 for 2x sandwiches (one without egg..) and 2x orange juice. i live in new york and it's not this much. average bagel, skip and save your money. read more

While the bagels are very good, everything else about this place is lacking. First of all it's very dirty inside. My last time there I found 2 hairs in the cream cheese in my bagel. I lost my appetite and had to throw the rest out. The entire place looks run down and neglected. On top of all that it was probably the most expensive bagel I've ever bought. A standard bagel with cream cheese was $5. If this place was clean, despite the price, it would be my go to bagel shop in this area. read more

Pretty good bagels, not some of the best I've had but definitely will go back when in need of a quick bagel and breakfast item. Good customer service and always prompt with orders. read more

Yes five stars for my go to bagel place. They make fantastic bagels and their sandwiches are great. Boars head cold cuts and salads here and no skimping. The staff are friendly and personable. The coffee is always hot fresh and very good. Plenty of parking and there's a couple tables if you want to eat in. Hey they bike trail goes right behind this place how can you not stop for a cold drink breakfast or lunch. Try not to love this place! It's a true gem. I've been coming here since they took over from Hey Daddy. Thanks guys I'll see you next time I need a Porkroll Egg and Cheese on an egg bagel. YumTastic! read more

Ok we tried again and SO much better than last time, even in the pouring rain the bagels were delivered quick and still warm! Perfect! We didn't tempt the tuna again, but lox cream cheese and regular cream cheese was good. Two hours to get bagels, cream cheese, tuna salad and drinks. Grubhub blamed D'Alessios and they blamed grub hub. Either way it was $35 and a waste of money, tiny bagels, dark meat tuna with 'stuff' in it, no idea what it is, coagulated fat? Poppy seeds from bagels? Who knows but no one wanted to eat it! D'Alessios was kind enough to throw in a free coffee for the wait. Sadly, was still first experience read more

Stumbled upon this little bagel shop hungover on my way home. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint. I believe it was the owner that served, was so pleasant and made the bagels so quickly. They were delicious. Nice to see a family owned establishment in today's day. Highly recommend for anyone passing through. 10/10. read more

Great stop before Heading to the beach the bagels are delicious and absolutely my favorite great staff super nice and amazing if you get a chance stop and get a delicious bagel. Thank you for my delicious bagel. read more

Been here twice, best bagel shop in Atlantic Highlands. Nice workers and very friendly. the food is very tasty, taste like nice nyc bagel sandwiches. the store is clean and always welcoming. new bagel shop i will always go to :) very reasonably priced too read more

I made a pro/con list so it's easier to get my point across. Pros: -Not too busy -Convenient Location -Employees are friendly -Mostly Clean -Orders are sort of quick Cons: -The bagels are similar to the ones you can find at a grocery store -The smell of the place is gross -They gave me halfway raw pork-roll -The employees are usually chatting and can be a wait Overall, go there if you're looking to pick up a bagel but don't expect a high quality one! read more

D'Alessio Hot Bagel Express - The bagel I ordered and was the one with the halfway raw pork-roll. - Bagels Near Me - Leonardo, New Jersey

Was greeted to a nasty man over the phone. Simply asked what the wait is for a pick up order, and was responded with a rude and condescending attitude. If you don't like your job then quit!!! Will not be returning here. Happy 4th! read more

This is my third delivery from D'Alessio's and it's definitely about time for me to show my appreciation with the glowing review you're about to read. Growing up in Brooklyn, and now living in Red Bank (where I have a host of bagel stores to choose from) I have to say, these bagels are the REAL DEAL. Totally authentic! They are big, flavorful and have the perfect texture of a genuine bagel. During other times, D'Alessio's was not in my path of progress. But with the pandemic at hand, we've not been to a store for months and these deliveries of fresh bagels and cold cuts have been a godsend. I place my order the night before and first thing in the AM, my order appears. Plus, the owner never fails to call me personally if he has to make a small change or to ask me about something. Just this morning I told him, 'you have a customer for life.' As soon as this lockdown is over, we'll be getting in the car and driving over for breakfast, lunch or to pick up goodies. Thank you for being there! read more

Overall not bad, but cheap with the cream cheese, and I don't think they keep it cold because it was melted- but my bagel wasn't fresh out the oven or toasted! Also the snapple was slightly cooler than room temperature. read more

D'Alessio Hot Bagel Express - Melted cream cheese on a bagel that's not even warm. Questionable efforts to keep it chilled. - Bagels Near Me - Leonardo, New Jersey

I would give them a zero if i could. We just ordered delivery it came cold, they didn't give us two orders of french fries that we ordered as sides then tried to say they put them together in one box. The one box wasn't even enough for a full order. They didn't supply the french fries with the hamburger either. None of the bread with the eggs nor the bagel with cream cheese was toasted In a town with so many options truly stay away....horrible i will never order from there again read more

Welp. The photos attached happened. Yes, two separate pieces of hair found on my bagel with lox cream cheese spread. First time at the bagel place and safe to say, the last time. We called up to let them know that there was hair found in the lox cream cheese, just so maybe they would throw it out, right? Well who knows, considering they appeared to find it funny over the phone that there was hair found in their food. What a charming place and group of workers! Go elsewhere read more

I've order for this place like 20 times, it always takes over an hour, well that's if it ever comes. 4 times the food just never came. I will never order form this place again. Figure it out, you making bagels not five star good! read more

Listen, the bagels and food here are great but I was very concerned to notice that none of the employees preparing food were wearing masks at this establishment. Regardless of anyone's individual feelings, I believe businesses should be in favor of protecting the health and well-being of their customers ESPECIALLY in food preparation. I was pretty disappointed and will not be back. read more

Bagels are very good and the service is quick and excellent. I like that they have added more of a deli and their sandwiches are very good but I do wish there was more of a selection bagel wise. Excellent job on the reconstruction and putting the coffee station where it should as opposed to the opposite corner which was always a traffic snarl. read more

Better than going to the place down the road with the mean counter service! Kevin couldn't have been more hospitable. Oh and the bagel sandwich I had was yummy. read more

I had the pleasure of eating there today and I've never had a bagel better than the one I had today. After reading other reviews I see how the family has been in business so long. Thanks to d'alessio bagels for an awesome lunch. read more

Delicious! Highly recommend the breakfast sandwiches especially on the way to or from the beach. Hits the spot! Nice and accommodating employees too. read more

Best place in the area. My fiancée and I did a fun game where we hit up everywhere in town and then voted on the best. This place won 1st place for us both hands down and we've been going ever since. If you like delicious food look no further. read more

Overall pretty good. Great pork roll egg and cheese, but don't get it with the hash brown- I tried thinking it'd be a nice crispy addition, and it was a soggy let down. Bagels are good, but sometimes they mess up making them and will tell you to pick something different (why are they even in the baskets in the front then?). Don't recommend their cream cheese- it was tasteless and runny from being super warm. I think going here is more about revisiting memories from when I used to go to a different bagel place in the same location with my dad when I was little read more

You should NOT be on seamless. This is the third time we ordered on seamless and did not get our food. Get off of seamless if you have no intentions on using it!!! read more

Clean, friendly and great service!! I always leave there happy with my order and a smile on my face.

I recently went in for a simple meal. I ordered a everything bagel with vegetable cream cheese and was charged a ridiculous $4.20. I'm from Brooklyn and have never in my life paid that much for not even a decent bagel. I will never be going there again read more

Great bagel place, fast delivery sandwiches are tasty . They have boars head meats amd quality bagels and bread. Nice place to order from!

Stopped in to cure my craving for Taylor Ham which is a must down the shore. I loved the friendly neighborhood hustle ams bustle atmosphere. The food was delicious. The service was humble and appreciative. A great jersey shore spot for breakfast and lunch. read more

Great Bagels! Super fresh and soft. Very clean establishment with Boarshead products. Placed an order over the phone, staff was very friendly. Will be back again. read more

Best bagels in the area. Finally a great deli in my neighborhood

I went in this morning for a bagel with cream cheese. The man behind the counter took my order, put the bagel on and then proceeded to slice a bunch of meat. Wiped his hands on a paper towel, touched meat again, and then put on one glove to handle my bagel. I even made a comment about the gloves because I don't eat meat. He didn't touch the bagel with that hand, but the paper that wrapped it, the napkins, the knife used, and the bag. Literally could see the meat on his hands. May be a great bagel and he may be an awesome man, but to me, cleanliness between orders should be real. Will not go back. Sorry. Either wear two gloves or wash your hands between helping people. I'd rather wait than have cross contamination. read more

I had the pleasure of going to D'Alessio's for the first time this morning. The gentlemen behind the counter were extremely nice and super friendly!! The bagels are amazing and the everything bagel has salt on it!!! I took a menu to go and love that their specialty sandwiches are named after local towns. I can't wait to go back and try more items!!! Thank you for making my morning!!! read more

Bagels are okay, not great. I got an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese and was slightly disappointed. The veggies were rather lacking in the cream cheese and the bagel was dry. My dad got a pork roll egg and cheese and that was pretty good. They have a ton of Boars Head deli meats so maybe sandwiches are a better bet. I much prefer the options for coffee, bagels, and cream cheese at the nearby Atlantic Bagels. read more

Probably the best bagel shop/deli I've ever been to in my life, this is coming from a man who has grown up in the area and loves a good bagel sandwich. The fact is that no matter what type of sandwich you order, either breakfast or lunch, it's tremendous, and I don't only mean the amount of meat on the sandwich, the Boars Head products, as well as the homemade salads are out of this world! They have an amazing product, unique to D'Alessios known as a bagel wheel, which is essentially a 3 foot sub, just on an oversized bagel, and completely made to order, right down to the seeds on the bagel wheel itself. Staff is EXTREMELY courteous, helpful, and even entertaining at times. I do like to spend locally, however, I won't be spreading my money around town too much, because I'll be going to D'Alessio's exclusively for the foreseeable future! Not to mention that 15 BAGELS IS ALWAYS A DOZEN!!! P.S. Great family environment, I even saw the owner with his 10 year old son making bagels in the back. After seeing that, I know this place will be in business long after my time is up. read more
