I heard this place was pretty good so decided to give it a try . Located in a strip mall right off Easton Ave very casual spot no where to eat inside so we huddle in the corner to eat since it was cold outside . I ordered my typical bacon, egg and cheese in everything bagel . I will say the sandwich fell a little flat. My bagel didn't really have much flavor it had some chew but a little denser than I like I felt the meat was a little skimpy but I did ask for my egg to be a tad runny which they managed do needed maybe some extra salt and pepper on the egg . I was a little curious about why the bagels were in bags instead of baskets not sure if they are baked off site and delivered or not . Service was fairly decent we did have to wait a bit for our order but nothing crazy . Wishing them continued success read more

The bagel shops in town have all gone downhill but that hasn't stopped my cravings. Desperate, I decided to try Fast Bagel this morning. By 1030am the baskets were on the sparse side but I was delighted to see my 2 faves, egg everything and French toast. I ordered egg everything with extra butter, not toasted. I pretty much expect to lose money on this order - shops often charge me extra but never seem to actually add extra butter. Hmm. But y'all - peep my pics! The butter was ABUNDANT and sooo deliciously salty. I enjoyed the texture of the bagel too - the bottom was super crispy. There's an assortment of juices - again all my faves - Joes Teas and Tropicana grape juice. The place isn't cheap - I think my bagel was 3.69 or so. But I'm willing to spend when the cravings hits. read more

Fast bagels? I haven't even taste the food and I'm annoyed, order a simple BEC and I have been waiting for more than 10 mins. Mind you they are full staffed. Definitely not coming back! read more

They are defining fast! This is a great spot to grab a bagel on your way for a road trip because not only are they fast service but also a great location on Easton which connects to major highways. The bagels are not dense and have a wonderful crust on the outside. I've only had the veggie cream cheese and it's tasty but doesn't have crunch. The veggies are chopped super finely. The variety of bagels is ok. I wish they had pumpernickel, rye, or a blend of both. But they do have a good variety of some uncommon like salt, garlic, egg everything. The coffee is self serve after you order. The coffee has has a cooler with limited milk options and large selection of flavored syrups. No inside seating. read more

If you walk in and order it's not fast. But when I order ahead it's always ready. The food is good and they are friendly. read more

Newer spot on the block and I'm stoked how close I am to this place!! They recently rebranded from a previous bagel spot that was okay and now focusing on quick and convenient breakfast sandwiches that are absolutely stacked! They haven't missed a beat keeping most of the staff on from the previous owner.... My go to is the belly buster or fast double that is packed with pork roll, bacon, egg and cheese. A majority of their bagel sandwiches come with a hash brown which was completely changed my life and is now mandatory anywhere I go. The new mobile app is very user friendly and has a rewards program where you can redeem points for sandwiches. Very convenient for ordering and reordering :) I started to branch out and get some of their signature stacks which have blown me away. The messier the better for me! read more

Fast Bagel lives up to its name . Not much to see here but fast friendly and reliable service: good choices of bagles fresh or toasted. Its not a place to sit and eat as there's no accommodations for such. Prices are reasonable . I would come back to grab some more it ever in NJ again. Thanks read more

Yesterday I was rushing around doing errands and hungry, and noted Fast Bagel on Easton Avenue behind where McDonald's used to be. I enjoy a bagel with lox and tomato, so I stopped in and tried one. Fantastic! They made the sandwich exactly as I asked (very little cream cheese) which many shops never do, and they provided a very nice amount of fresh lox and tomato slices. The bagel was soft and tasty, too. Exactly as I'd asked. Nicole, who served me, was very nice and did a fantastic job. I truly enjoyed the lunch she served. I will put this shop on my list of favorites, and will certainly be going back there next time I'm passing through the area. read more

FIVE STARS. Was in the area hungry for breakfast. I felt like my only option was this bagel place or McDonalds next door. I chose this bagel spot and I DID NOT MAKE A MISTAKE!! I signed up with the app - very mobile friendly, easy to use. And they have a point system. Got 5$ off by making an account. So for 3 dollars and change (would've been 7-8$ without the discount), I got a DELICIOUS BLT bagel. The bagel contents were great but the plain bagel itself was toasted to perfection and crisp. Like I am so satisfied. I want another one. My boyfriend had the French toast bagel and he also was raving about it. Their app has many options so you can choose exactly how you want your bagel or choose one of their speciality bagels. Ugh I'm so happy right now. I'll be back soon. Thanks for turning my "breakfast because I was in the area" into my new bagel spot! read more

This place was conveniently located near me so I decided to come here for a breakfast bagel. It was okay, nothing crazy special. Staff was very friendly and the bagel came out quickly but it was just a standard breakfast sandwich. I wouldn't say the prices are too bad. read more

The cashier was very rude to me. I asked for a 2 small sides (scallion and strawberry) of cream cheese as I didn't want the cream cheese on the bagel. I was rudely told I could not have another small side of cream cheese and she would charge me for a whole other bagel that is ridiculous. I am black and I felt the other customers in the store who were not were greeted more nicely as the cashier was quite rude and short with me. Will not be going back lost a loyal customer and bagel lover read more

Do NOT GO HERE! Waited 25 minutes for one sausage egg and cheese bagel. Quite literally nothing fast about this and the place needs a cleaning. I would avoid at all costs and go to the dunkin or anywhere else 5 min away . The attitude of the service here is horrible and for just ordering one thing is terrible. Clearly they put priority not on customers that could repeat. Watched as my sandwich sat there and they moved around it, avoid this place. The service looks like they have no idea how to handle volume and the main girl has such an attitude read more

The bagels were so hard I could tap them on the counter and you can hear a sound. They seem like they were a week old. The worst bagel I ever had. I don't think they make the bagels. Don't waste your money, because I did. read more

Everything I've tasted here is delicious. I think what sets them apart from other breakfast venues in the area are their healthy options - the fresh fruit cup, fresh squeezed OJ and their specialty sandwich:"veggie sunrise" (I like to add grilled deli turkey but it's also great on its own!) Their pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches are delicious too - perfect actually. .... Also, they make great hash browns. Another thing that sets them apart is their online ordering for pick up , makes it so convenient! Everything is packaged all nice and neat. And they are very friendly in there too. 5 Stars all the way. Nice job! read more

Fast Bagel is our go-to place every weekend. They happen to also be down the street from where we live so it's also very convenient. I've never actually stepped foot inside myself since we order delivery or my husband picks it up. But we always get consistently good food. If we order bagels with cream cheese, they toast the bagels well and actually spread the cream cheese on both sides. If we order a meat, egg, & cheese sandwich, again the bagel is toasted well and they give such amazing portions of meat, compared to most other bagel shops. Also, a bonus here is that they have EGG EVERYTHING bagels, which are not usually offered at other places. If you want a solid perfectly sized NJ breakfast sandwich, you can't go wrong here. read more

This is the last time I'm ever coming here. Super slow. There's no bagel on earth for which anyone should be waiting 30 minutes.

This is my go to spot for bagels and bagel sandwiches. I'm a bit of a stickler for a real NY bagel, and it's very hard to find in central NJ. I've tried all the recommended and highly reviewed places in the area, and personally find Fast Bagel to be significantly better- I won't go anywhere else. Prices for sandwiches can be a tad high, upwards of $8 for the fully loaded breakfast sandwiches with extras- but it's not outrageous to where I don't come back. Plain large coffee is also expensive at 2.75 a cup, but there is a DD across the driveway if you want to get a cheaper or more extravagant coffee to have with your bagel. Despite that, highly recommend for the quality and taste. Order with the app- it's seamless and overall makes for a better experience. Early mornings can be busy, so ordering ahead on the app can save you a 15min wait in line just to order. Today for example, I ordered on the app and received a text that it was ready for pick up before I even got to my car. Walked in and grabbed it and left. Super fast, always pleasant workers. And the app lets you get points for free food and sides- nice perk. Don't forget to add a hash brown to your bfast bagel- trust me. read more

Ok so I ordered two bacon egg and cheese sandwiches ate mine and it felt waxy I look down open it up and there's literally a waxed parchment type paper stuck to the back of my bacon. It soon becomes evident that I've eaten half of the paper because what I spit out I can see chewed up paper and the paper is bitten. I'm disgusted reach out tor the restaurant they are dismissive and tell me they don't believe there's paper then they tell me they can't help me and to reach out to Grubhub. So I hope they see these pics and believe it now. Thankfully Grubhub refunded me. Never eating here again. read more

Every-time I go here I pay an astronomical price for an awful sandwich. Barely anything in it and just sad looking every time. I try to make it work cause they are the closest place in town. But it's never hot even after getting it and one piece of bacon and the sandwich cost damn near 10$. Do better read more

The food here is amazing they take pride in making the orders nice and neat and it's always hot and they are very fast I encourage everyone to visit this place ! read more

Loved this place but lately their bagels are dry and tough ! What happened? Are they leftovers from the day before ? Sorry for the review ! Debbie K read more

We got bagels from here this morning. I'm sure they were yesterday's bagels. They were not crispy. Very disappointed.

Bagels are fresh, menu amazing - so many delicious choices. Staff is always friendly and fast.

Review is soley on their bagel and nothing else. The bagel is just ok. Sorta along the lines of a bagel from Dunkin. If i want a chewie center and crisp skin this isnt the place. Now getting a porkroll egg and cheese with hash brown on a roll, that is a fabulous breakfast sandwich! A+ read more

This bagel place is probably the best bagel place in the Rutgers area which is so upsetting why ive received my bagel order wrong, MULTIPLE TIMES. i ordered an everything bagel, toasted... i received a plain bagel untoasted. Sad because since I've moved, i frequently crave a bagel from this place, finally came back to visit and this is the service I get. read more

Fast Bagel - Somerset - Bagel vs. order - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

I give them 3 stars because the bagel sandwiches were ok. The customer service was meh. The name "fast bagel" is hilariously inept. It took me 12 minutes to get a bacon egg and cheese bagel. There were loads of people waiting for their orders also. There is not enough room for standing around nor are there chairs to sit on while you wait. This has happened 3 times. The problem seems to be that if you order bagels online for pickup you become the priority and not the people who walk in. They have to wait for all the online orders to be complete. They take your money right away and then make you wait. Won't be going back. read more

The bagel breakfast sandwiches are hands down the best I ever had. The drip coffee was really good. I'm definitely going to come again.

Great customer service Great food Perfect for hosting My favorite food would have to be the Belly buster as it's the most filling Homemade Bagels read more

I've been going to Bagel Peddler for years, but not in person for a while. I'd go in so often that I got to know the owners and staff. The place changed hands last year, and I'm glad to say that the quality and taste of the food is still exceptional. When the pandemic started, I was impressed that the new owners enclosed a note enumerating all the steps they would be taking to ensure they were following health & hygiene guidelines. None of the other places we've ordered take-out from have done that, and I think it's a good way to let customers know that an establishment can be trusted. My son swears by the Belly Buster, and I'm a fan of their Everything Bagel. The bagels are always fresh, often warm, and portions are generous. The food is delicious at the Bagel Peddler and the staff is friendly, so do your taste buds a favor and give them a try! read more

They have a nice variation of bagels. They aren't enormous which is perfect for me. The place is nice and clean. I was lucky to come when it was completely empty. Service was fast and precise. My bagel is nice and soft not chewy. Lighted gold top, just how I like it. Salmon is so fresh, not fishy. I sat on the side and enjoyed my bagel. I could hear the multiple orders coming in. Many regulars one here. I would one back! read more

The online ordering was pretty convenient but honestly I'll never go back. The bagel was just ok. And the veggie cream cheese was pretty disgusting and almost didn't even taste like cream cheese at all. The hash browns were so greasy as well. read more

Pork roll egg and cheese on a bagel, seems simple right ? I guess not so much, pork roll was burnt, I mean completely burnt. How that's ok to give to a customer is beyond me but they did. And be prepared to get boxed in by the food delivery drivers, they can't seem to understand not to parallel park in a fire lane read more

Short and sweet. It's a good bagel. Got a garlic bagel that was fresh and and they put good amount of butter and it was quality butter

Great custoner service, answered all my questions about what her fav combinations of bagels were. Try the cinnamon raisin buttered bagel with honey some5hibgcream cheese & a onion bagel woth plain cream cheese. Its good. Egg nagels good too. Cheers read more

Great spot for bagels and sandwiches. I eat here once a week at least. The workers there are always super nice and the food is great!

This is probably one of my all time favorite bagel places around town. The staff is so nice and the service is very fast! Great selection as well! I've never had a bad experience! My favorite is the sausage, cheddar, and egg on a salt bagel. Actually having one now and it's delicious! read more

Fast Bagel - Somerset - Sausage, cheddar, and egg on a salt bagel :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

I think the owners here are probably the nicest owners out of any place I've been to in NJ. They are just really friendly nice people. The bagels are fantastic. So much better than the D and D out in the parking lot. I think it says a lot about the place that it can stay in business behind a Dunkin. My only suggestion would be that they switch to a number system. Lots of times groups of 10 or so high school or college students come in and order one bagel a piece and it jams things up trying to sort out who got what egg and cheese bagel. Numbers would be better. read more

I LOVE Bagels. The staff were SO helpful and nice. I can't wait to go back.

I come here about once a week for my bagel fix. I usually get a bacon, egg and cheddar on a toasted bagel for around $4. Their bagels are not made in house but they do have your typical selection of assorted bagels that are dense and chewy with a slightly crunchy crust. If you're really hungry and want to try something new, I recommend the Belly Buster which has bacon, pork roll, hash browns and cheese. It's a great combination of fixings but my hash browns were a little cold in the middle as they did not heat it up enough. I decided to change it up and got a pastrami egg and cheese on a bagel. The pastrami tasted fresh and there was a fair amount of meat on ny sandwich. They also have traditional deli sandwiches, salads, wraps, drinks and containers of cream cheese spreads. Their veggie cream cheese seems to be a mix of cream cheese and butter which I am not a huge fan of. I'd prefer cream cheese only. I'm giving them four stars because their subs are disappointing with minimal deli slices. Their sandwiches come with half a pickle and a small bag of chips. Service is usually fast but may take a little longer during the morning rush. They forget to toast my bagel a few times even when it wasn't busy and I repeated it several times. A toasted and un-toasted bagel makes a big difference in my opinion. read more
