    Egg bagel with sausage and egg
    Danielle B.

    I ended up at this store by mistake. I drove past the original store I was looking for but the staff was very nice and polite. I did purchase my bagels after 1:00 p.m. so not having many flavor options was more than expected. This place gave me their last egg bagel (thank you ) All the breakfast bagels I ordered were carefully packaged and prepared. My family was happy with their bagels. I wish this place were closer to my home so I could go more often.

    Under cook and stale bagel.

    Disappointed, the Bagel was under cooked and stale to the point it was cracking. I wish I had seen it before I got home.

    Turkey bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel. Pretty decent.

    I likely would have not gone into Essex Bagels because it appears to just be a hole in a wall but my u turn in their lot led me in to grab breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised that my turkey bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel was pretty good! The bagel was soft and did not make me have to chew a million times in order for a safe digestion. I took away a star because the customer area could use a swift cleaning but I am also one to eat from street vendors where pigeons fly nearby. Aht-Ahn Excuse me, don't judge my standards!

    Italian sub

    Amazing food at the clutch location! I love the food and how it is so vibrant and energetic to be there. It's definitely a hole in the wall and a worth being a regular. Can't wait to try more menus at this shop!

    Don't spend your money here, they make sandwiches the way THEY want to make it even though you're the paying customer. I asked for eggs to be cooked soft, this is what I received. The previous owners were the best!!!

    Bagels are fresh and a little too doughy in the inside but I have them scoop it out. My Fav is the Poppy seed cream cheese bagel with lox and tomatoes.

    Blueberry muffin
    Nicole T.

    It's extremely rare for me to walk into these type of joints, and I didn't come here on purpose. I was on the day shift working with the paramedics, and they wanted me to get another meal in before the rush of calls started coming in. I opted for a blueberry muffin because I was craving fruit. Silly right? The store sells bananas and apples too, but the huge muffin caught my eye. I'm not sure if they bake it from scratch or buy it pre-packaged, but it was devine when I popped it into the microwave for a couple seconds. Warm and moist just how I like it when it comes out of my ovens. I usually buy pastries that I can't bake at home, but this muffin was the size of my face, haha! Most of the customers here ordered breakfast bagels + coffee. The employees worked fast to keep the line moving, which I appreciated because it's a tiny place to begin with.

    Western omelette w. Cheese and wheat toast
    Tere J.

    From the outside, you wouldn't think this local bagel spot has much to offer. They have a variety of the basics- sandwiches, salads ,etc, lacking more so on the etc. I stopped in for breakfast. Not sure of what I wanted, I browsed the menu options posted behind the counter. Still unsure, I asked if they served omelettes, i mean it is a breakfast spot, right? Yes. I asked because its not listed on the menus posted. Ok. So...I'll have a western w/ cheese. Assuming it would come with homefries, quickly added" it comes with toast, wheat or white" "Wheat-of course ; )." I was the only person there, I waited about 5 minutes, thats it? 5 minutes is ALL the time I can give since I'm always rushing and trust me I was Happy because most breakfast digs have me waiting 10-15 minutes, especially if you don't order ahead . The lady behind the counter asked if I wanted a coffee, I agreed( cream and sugar, please)! The omelette was pretty tasty- onions, green/red peppers, ham ,topped with american cheese .....you really can't go wrong. Not runny, not overcooked, and portion wise was plentiful. The toast was fresh, with light butter. Although I am a moderate tea drinker, I even enjoyed the coffee! 4 stars- convenience, attentiveness, staff and POTENTIAL. This place could stand to update, expand their menu options. Will visit again!

    Bacon and cheese, no eggs (pretty sad looking)

    I visited Essex bagels this morning because I had enjoyed their bagels before and I wanted to try breakfast. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED! I ordered 2 sandwiches, one with 2 eggs, bacon and pork roll and they only put 1 egg. The second sandwich was supposed to be 2 eggs, bacon and cheese and this one had no eggs! I of course paid full price and now I will have to find another bagel store in the neighborhood. Too bad.

    Nicely layered

    Midland Bagels & Grill - You don't know how much I look forward to my toasted sesame bagel with lox spread. OMG! The bomb!

    Bagels are simple yet delicious bread creations that have become a staple in breakfast and brunch…read moremenus around the world. At first glance, they might seem like just another type of bread, but these doughy delights are so much more than that. At its core, it is a type of bread that is circular in shape with a hole in the middle and has roots in Jewish cuisine. Situated on a busy N. Midland Avenue in Saddle Brook, Midland Bagels & Grill is a popular local bakery known for its bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and other grill items like gyros and sliders. Upon entering this cozy establishment as a first-timer, I was greeted by the staff with 3 tables and a window ledge table for standing. I decided on a whole wheat bagel with a smear of cream cheese for takeout. The bagel with the outer crunch but soft on the inside was still warm when I got home. The flavor, texture, and consistency were perfect. The price was a bit on the pricey side but would not deter me from returning back. The staff were pleasant and extremely efficient. It's a solid bagel spot!

    Really great. Terrific service. Classic bagel shop vibe. They get you in and out and HAPPY…read more Order online if you wish. They even have temp controlled lockers for you to pick it up. Fantastic bagels. Very very very reasonable pricing. A must go. Parking is a little tricky in a small lot. Side streets and a quick walk will be helpful during busy times.
