The bagels here are pretty good. However, the prices are outrageous! We ordered the loxed bagel with cucumber and sprouts and it was $18 for just that one bagel. Couldn't believe my eyes. Considering they charged $2 extra for just sprouts, it was crazy to look at the bagel and see 3 singular tiny sprouts and not a lot of lox. I could've paid much less in NYC itself for a bagel like this. Won't be returning. Yiannis has better prices and bagels. read more

Bagels are good but...the first time I ordered bagels with cream cheese for the family there was barely any cream cheese. They were okay but would have liked more, but I was willing to give them another try. I went in the next day and decided to order a bagel with "extra cream cheese." Well it was absolutely disgusting. The bagel was not even edible. It was covered with a TUB of cream cheese and was completely SOGGY. It was a complete mess and threw the entire thing out. On top of that their wait times are very long. That's somthing I would expect at a busy shore town along with overpriced items but the quality and care of their products is poor. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

I decided to try this place just to be curious. Bagels were ok, they kind of remind me of shop rite bagels to be honest, not impress at all. It is a nice location for the OC residents if they don't want to go to Hot Bagels inSomers Point. My personal opinion there is nothing like Hot Bagels. DeadEnd's breads and muffins looked good and I tried their scone but not driving over the bridge for a scone. read more

waited 45 minutes for our order... a whole new round of customers came in a got their order before we got ours! Waited 30 mins before they even told us they were out of the bagels we ordered. read more

They have really good bagels, but I found a hair in mine. Disappointing indeed. I've ordered from their before, and the service was also horrible. read more

Good bagels but terrible operations. Please hire an experienced manager as a consultant! It shouldn't take 30 mins to get two toasted bagels with almost no line read more

The place isn't set up properly which makes it a slow painful wait. We were forced to get just bagels because sandwiches were taking around 30 minutes and the bagels was flavorless. Also got coffee that was terrible. Go to Wawa it's way faster and better read more

I've been following this place on insta for a while now but finally got down to the shore to try it out. The service was extremely slow and they were not busy at all. My husband got an everything bagel with pepper jack and pork roll and I got a cinnamon bagel with cream cheese. My hubby also got a CBD coffee (which was probs just regular coffee) and we got this for $19. Not sure we got rung up correctly. All of the toppings were $1-$2 extra so he didn't get any and to have my bagel toasted and a spread it was an extra $2. So $4 for a bagel and apparently $15 for a sandwich and a coffee... great deal! *sarcasm* there were also so my flies in there and again it took foreverrrr to get our food. Cute instagram, not good service. read more

The damn best bagels on the island. Hands down. Get these before they sell out. Amazing!!

I ordered two items, a Birthday Cake Scone, and a plain egg and cheese sandwich. The scone was room temperature, and was given to me way before the rest of my order was ready. The scone tasted very sweet, but not too sweet in my opinion, it was very soft with a hard-ish outside, but overall a very good scone. Now is the problem, the sandwich arrived seventeen minutes after I placed my order, and it was raining while my family waited outside in the rain. It took way to long for a bagel, plain bagel with egg and cheese to come out-- and the cheese had way too much. Cheese got all over me-- way too much melted. Besides that, the taste was amazing on the bagel, the egg had a lot of seasoning (it made my bagel taste like a everything bagel), but I dont mind those type of bagels. Overall, the only bad part was a bit too much seasoning, and a pretty long wait time for my sandwich. read more

Their sourdoughs are amazing! I like to get the chocolate chip walnut bread sliced and bring home to make PBJ on it for the week. Highly recommend the everything bagel and veggie cream cheese. Ask for the cream cheese "light" or a little because they put a ton on. read more

I can't comment on the food because I haven't gotten it yet. Been waiting here for 15 minutes for 2 toasted bagels with cream cheese. Unbelievable. read more

Waited 30 minutes for a breakfast sandwich that was so-so. There is no system here, they hand out partial orders while people stand there for 10 more minutes waiting for the rest. After you order it is a free for all to find space to wait while the walk-up, and online order lines mix together with no direction. Unless you have the time to wait (and I mean wait) this place truly is a Dead End! read more

Sadly, I had high hopes for this business. It was a Tuesday morning, hardly a line and waited a half hour for 3 bagels. As to which the whole order was wrong, but we were hungry, waited too long and had to head out on the road. They need a better system, more people to work there. You can't take walk ins and process online orders at the same time. Need to separate the two, with designated employees. Bagels might have tasted better if we received the correct order. read more

Great little spot in OC for delicious bagels and breakfast bites. The bagels and flavored cream cheeses are amazing.

Food is good but service was very slow. It took 30 minutes to get 2 breakfast sandwiches, and people who ordered after us got their food before us. Also ordered a sandwich on an egg bagel and they put it on sourdough bread. I was not going back it to wait another 30 minutes. read more

still waiting for my overpriced bagel with no bacon cause they were out??? like bro it's 11am how are you out of bacon. it's deadass been like 40 minutes since i ordered. this place is my 9th circle of hell. read more

Service here is terrible and food is absolutely not worth the wait on the weekend. Took 40 minutes for our order to be ready when the website said 10. We've ordered here twice (both online) and BOTH times they told me they didn't see any iced coffee on my order and I had to show my receipt to get it. I asked for a side of ketchup and they told me it would be an extra charge, even though ketchup on the sandwich is free on the website. They also gave me the wrong kind of bagel. We gave this place 2 chances and there wont be a third. read more

First of all, the coffee is excellent. Although the name reflects it is a Bakehouse, the coffee is a must. Now, the bakery goods....AMAZING! Attention to detail make them look like works of art. Too beautiful to eat...almost. The staff is young and friendly. That cheerful attitude is a rare find at 7am. Breads, sweet loaves (like lemon pound cake with vanilla glaze), cinnamon rolls with bacon or Oreos, and bagels that taste like NYC. We rented almost across the street, so we headed to Dead End every morning. Give them a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food is AMAZING. The avocado toast on sourdough and the bagels are fantastic, which is what keeps me coming back. However, 3 out of the 4 times I've been there this week, they have messed up my order, in minor and major ways. I was given incorrect products, I was given avocado toast that was not toasted, breakfast sandwiches with the wrong options. I want to love this place, but they need to hire a manager with strong operational experience to put systems in place that allow them to execute better. The outstanding bagels and bread deserve better. read more

Best bread and bagels I've ever had, hands down. Best everything bagel, (and I've had a lot of everything bagels), jalapeño cheddar bagel, jalapeño cheddar cream cheese, habeñero honey cream cheese, this place as my favorite flavored things. Jalapeño cheddar bagel bomb ftw. I eat the bread plain it so good. read more

I have been a customer of dead end bakehouse for the past 2 summers. Never have I been more disappointed in their service. The fourth of July is busy for all business, especially when it's workers are standing around talking about tv shows when there are at least 10 people waiting for their orders. I had ordered online ahead of time. I waited for 30 minutes before asking the status of my order to which they told me it would only be 10 more minutes; an hour later I questioned again where my order was and the workers told me they had "lost my order". Multiple times I was told it was going to come out in the next 10 minutes, when it reality I never never up getting my order. Instead of receiving an immediate refund or working on new orders we were told that they will work on hopefully getting our money back. They said by the end of the day I should've received a refund, but I have yet to receive the refund. Their bagels are not worth the price and constant delay and incompetent workers. read more

I have had a few different things from dead end bakehouse and to say the least, it is disappointing. Don't get me wrong, their bagels are very good but the structure of the whole sandwich is bad. They stuff so much onto one bagel to the point where it is falling all over as you're eating it. I feel like a little kid while eating it because of how messy I get. And usually the egg is twice the size of the bagel so every time the egg is practically falling off. The structure needs to get better and they need to get more organized. read more

I walked by this place while parking my car and laughed at the name so decided id go in the next morning and im glad I did! Got a dozen bagels for the family and two spreads for $20! Thats great! They have fun spreads and sandwiches. The staff was nice, they gave me a laugh when I asked about a gluten free bagel (not for me, for a family member fyi!). Im glad I went in and ill definitely go back. read more

Bagels are good but pricey. Be advised to double check your food order to make sure all components you are paying for are included. Ordered a Honey Ham breakfast sandwich with an added egg and found out after leaving the shop that it did not contain the cream cheese. So paid $11 for ham and egg on a bagel! read more

As a year round resident and patron since they've opened, I cannot believe the comedy of errors that consistently plagues this business. Despite themselves, they do have good bagels and I guess that's enough. Whoever manages this shop has absolutely zero experience in executing efficiency. There are always twice as many employees as needed on payroll for the day, yet they have no system in place, thereby making it a case study in inefficiency. 1. They have no menu's visible so if there is a line, you cannot decide what to order until you reach the counter and find a papers menu (god knows how many other people have touched). Then you have to take the time to read it thereby holding up the line. The person who takes the order sometimes also makes coffee and gets the bagels, other times doesn't. The large and regular latte's come with the same amount of espresso?? So the only difference is more milk in the large. The menu in the "order online" does not match the printed menu. For example, "Jersey Hangover" is an option when you order online, but not on the picture of the printed menu, so if you want it, and ordering online, you have no idea what it actually is, as the online order system has no descriptions of the items. The bagels are good, but vary drastically in consistency and fluffiness based on who baked them that day. Hot bagels is still my favorite (in Somer's Point), but when I don't want to go off island, I go here and every single time just shake my head that they can operate in this fashion. read more

I ordered a bagel tray 10 days in advance for Christmas. I payed in full, had a receipt, and got a phone call the to make sure to pick up by 1. When my husband arrived he was told they ran out of bagels. They issued him a $20 gift card and a few loaves of bread. My only job was to bring bagels for Christmas morning. I am highly disappointed. Not sure how a bagel place runs out of bagels Christmas eve morning when you ordered and paid for the tray in advance. read more

It took over thirty minutes to solely get three tubs of cream cheese. All you need to know about the inefficiency of this place.

Fresh and flavorful. Got the avocdoa blt and breakfast sandwich. Fresh squeezed orange juice is amazing.

Waited 40 minutes for a bacon egg and cheese. Plenty of people that ordered after us got their food and left before we did.

Bagels are just alright- not bad for the South Jersey area. But the service here is horrible. The girls up front arent friendly at all and something in my order is always messed up. read more

Great artisan bagel sandwiches with a fantastic cup of coffee. Do t forget treats for the kids and some bread for later to make a slamming grilled cheese. Priced a little higher but it's because the quality is better. read more

It was amazing and service was great! Very friendly and welcoming! Can't wait to be back again!

Ok soooo here is the deal with this place- Their bagels were pretty good. They had a nice outer crust very fluffy and warm on the inside. Now this is where the 4 rating comes in- My order took 15- 20 minutes. I was super upset because a terrestrial downpour was looming and because the order took so long to complete I was now going to drive in the middle of it- plus I had to jump in a "lake" to get to my car door (I was soaked from the calves down) if the order was completed in a timely manner I would have missed it. I know what your thinking rain wasn't their fault- you're right. But finding out that the reason my order took so long because a bunch of tickets came up after it and therefore my order got lost in the mix and then just not making the sandwich is their fault. Ok I'm mad and annoyed - but I have to say they took full responsibility for it and made it all better. Hence the four stars. Thanks guys for the pretty banging sandwiches and making up for the delay. read more

My gripe is that service tends to be very slow. I get that it's very busy, but they gotta work on making these sandwiches faster. I think waiting 15 minutes for a pork roll egg and cheese is a bit excessive. Hopefully this is because they're new and they'll improve their service time in the future. read more

The bagels were actually quite good, but the service will prevent me from giving them my business again. I tried calling in my order ahead but was the person on the line made me feel like this was a huge inconvenience to him and he eventually hung up on me. When I went into the store, I saw several customers struggling to get their questions answered and pay for their orders. It's never fun when staff makes you feel like you're doing something wrong by trying to give them business. Hope the owner can find better help before he loses more and more customers due to the horrible staff. read more

Used to have great pastries and really bad service. Now they don't have pastries. More places to go that have better service.

Our experience this morning was awful. We waited almost thirty minutes for two bagel sandwiches. We saw people who ordered after us leaving with their orders. We asked for assistance. The manager claimed they had call outs. There was not an apology and no remittance for the wait. This was not worth the $25 for two bagel sandwiches. Horrible. read more

Coffee and pastries and bagels are really good. However, if I could give a negative score on service, I would. The staff is unbelievably unorganized and unprepared for Friday and weekend mornings. My average wait time for coffee has been a half hour the last couple weekends. I ordered bagel sandwiches in advance one Saturday, and it took an hour and a half. While placing a larger order, the staff that took my order rolled his eyes and sighed after each item. The pastries have kept me coming back, but I'm done with this place until they can get their stuff together. The most appropriate change would be playing circus music in the background. read more

This business is NOT engaging in safe COVID-19 health and safety practices, or safe health standards in general. I enjoy the bagels here and was excited to see that you could order ahead online which I thought would be the safest route to choose to avoid having to go inside or to break safe-social distancing guidelines. When I went to pick the order up however, I had to go inside and wait in line with 7 other people crowded into the same store for 5 minutes. When I finally opened my order after I had left the store, I realized that they had given me the wrong type of bagel. Other than 2 signs asking customers to wear masks and stay 6 feet away (an impossible feat in a bakery as small as this and with the amount of customers packed in) there do not appear to be any other safety measures in place and no enforcement mechanisms for the ones that do exist. None of the employees were wearing gloves and I saw two with masks slipping off their faces exposing their mouth and nose. There were at least 8 patrons in the store all waiting crowded together for their bagels, which could take a while because the service is incredibly slow. Some tips for making this a safe place for people to frequent: 1. Take orders at the door and do not let anyone come inside. This business is small. It is impossible to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet, made even worse by the amount of people waiting inside. 2. Bring orders outside like you would do with curbside pickup. Have a phone number that people can call when they arrive if they ordered online so that you can bring out their order safely. For people who ordered there, bringing food outside ensures that there is no congregation inside as they wait for their food. 3. Make sure that everyone is wearing masks and gloves, including and especially your employees. Even without a pandemic no one wants to eat food from a bakery that is not taking every step to be hygienic. I have also reported this to the Cape May County Department of Health. No business should be engaging in unsafe hygiene practices, especially now when people are getting sick and dying every day because of careless actions like these. read more
