The toasted Asiago bagel with vegetable cream cheese was seriously delicious. Perfectly crispy on the outside, warm and chewy inside, with that rich Asiago flavor coming through in every bite. The veggie cream cheese was fresh, smooth, and balanced everything out so well. Simple order, big flavor, and exactly what you hope for from a great bagel shop. Definitely coming back for this again read more

Omg my favorite place! They use quality ingredients, make their own mayonnaise. Bagels are fresh and have the best texture.

My wife ordered and brought home an everything bagel and it was as flat as a pancake and overcooked. The worst bagel I ever had. They should have tossed it in the trash. read more

Originally I was aiming another bagel shop for my breakfast, though my partner said this one was closer to where we're at. Fine! I wasn't too excited at first when I got to the front door. But everything changed right after I stepped in. The beautiful decor on the wall and Frank Sinatra singing at the background, with all the different flavors of bagels including Caribbean flavors, very interesting. I picked blueberries cream cheese for my bagel and it was delicious and will sure be my regular choice here going forward! The store is very chic and neat. I do recommend this place for breakfast and brunch. read more

I came by and ordered a few bagels with nothing on them. When I got home I noticed they gave me a bagel that was already sliced in half. Not sure if they were making a bagel and someone cancelled the order but I don't want an already sliced bagel. The french toast bagel was unique and had good flavor. It had a unique crust on it too. It is a little sweet but I would reorder it. The rest tasted stale. Didn't have much of a selection either. Would come back if in the area but wouldn't go out of my way. 3 stars. read more

We LOVE this place! The absolute best bagels and spreads around. The only thing is they're a hike. You all know you need an Eatontown location what with Fort Monmouth all up and coming with a new hospital and a Netflix studio. Just saying read more

Called to order a dozen bagels for pickup. Guy on the phone asked when I wanted them and I told him asap. He then hung up on me and canr get anyone to return my call. Terrible place if business don't bother calling they will just hang up read more

Simply the best! I have lived everything I have ever gotten from them. The bagels, spreads, etc are all perfect

By far the best bagels around. Style, quality and verity are amazing. Also, The homemade cream chesses are just as good.

Hands down my new favorite local bagel spot. Super fresh. Thin crisp exterior with a soft chewy center. The Calabrian chili bagel is packed with flavor. They don't skimp on bagel toppings (yesss gimme that sesame and whole wheat everything) read more

Went twice this past week. Overall, the bagels and atmosphere good. However, the service needs work. The second day was particularly bad. A simple or of three bagels with cream cheese took 30+ minutes to serve. Even after waiting the 30 minutes, they delivered two of the bagels and told us that the third was coming. We waited another 10 minutes and I went to the counter to ask for a status. I heard another customer with a take out order complain loudly that their bagel had been sitting for 10 min while he stood at the counter waiting. read more

Not far from home, and was craving a bagel for ages. I ordered two rosemary and olive oil bagels, one with scallion cream cheese and the other with lox cream cheese. My total came out to be a little over $10. Not horrible considering I picked the specialty bagels along with specialty cream cheeses, though I can see paying $12 or more for a bagel sandwich would be kind of daunting. The bagel was pretty good, not the best I've had, but it was unique and still quite tasty. Cream cheeses were yummy, and despite some reviews on Google saying they don't put that much on, I thought the it was a generous spread. Service wasn't overly friendly but it was polite. Staff doesn't wear masks. read more

Jersey's personality includes an inability to pump gas and a fierce adoration to our bagels, so you know our standards are high. Grandpa's Bagel manages to carve its niche in a crowded bagel market as a new bagel store that stands above the rest with a clean interior, flavorful options, and a ~special~ unbleached, unbromated process of making their bagels. Not really sure what that means, but if it prevents the post-bagel-bloat I'm all for it. There are several curated flavor options like Asiago, Calabrian chili, rosemary olive oil, and French toast with unique cream cheeses to match. Nothing too gimmicky (looking @ you, Bagel Nook and your ungodly flaming-hot-Cheeto-options). I got the za'atar bagel with cream cheese and cinnamon raisin with maple pecan cream cheese. These bagels aren't too big, but possess a satisfying crunch and chewy interior. Loved the herbs of the za'atar! The cinnamon raisin was also great and the cream cheese had real pecan chunks scattered about. The downsides is that the bagels and toppings are more expensive, and the cream cheese isn't slathered on like how other places do it. Regardless, this ranks up there for the bagels I've tried before, and I'm excited to see this place thrive !! read more

Absolutely love their bagels and the small cookies are so great!!! Their Calabrian hot chilli bagel is a must have!

The prices here do not justify what you are getting. Bagels are smaller in size than the bagels you can get down the street. Cream cheese and other toppings are spread thin. And to add to it, the guys working behind the counter always seem to have an attitude. This place has the potential to be great if they lower their prices and opinion of themselves. You are new to the area. Earn your keep with the locals. read more

Grandpa's bagels are great however their customer service is questionable and there are a few things I don't understand. I ordered two bagels along with a container of tofu cream cheese & a 1/2 # of nova salmon and when I saw $8 for the nova I asked if that was a 1/2 # and was told yes. When I opened the bag in the car there was about 2 slices of salmon and the tofu cream cheese had bits of chive, carrots, onions (not stated on their menu). My girlfriend went back to question the salmon and was told "The nova is sold in portions for one person" so she said he asked for a 1/2 # and they replied "Well that's the way we do it". She also questioned the cream cheese and was told "Oh yeah we have to change the menu description". Guess they haven't considered if someone is allergic to onions or whatever else is in there? read more

Grandpa's Bagel is amazing. Drive 45 minutes to come here and I was not disappointed. There is ample parking and seating inside. They have unique bagels like Rosemary & Olive Oil, Calabrian Chile, Zaatar , Kalamata Olive, Egg Everything, etc All fantastic! An awesome selection of spreads and sandwich combos. I had a sausage egg and cheese on Zaatar and my Daughter had a bacon egg and cheese on rosemary bagel. Loved them! Took a dozen home plus truffle cream cheese and kalamata cream cheese both excellent. Because we spent over $59 we got a free bag of bagel chips which are some of the best I've ever had. We loved it so much we went back the next week for another dozen, sandwiches, and spreads. Grandpa is thee and so nice. My Daughter blogs about bagels and have them a rave review and he offered up a freebie to her next time she's in. This trip I had sausage egg and cheese on the Calabrian chili bagel. So good although a bit messy to eat. My Daughter had the Sam but with chorizo which she loved. Can't miss coming here. Hope they expand to Essex county to spare me the drive but I'll go back again anytime. read more

Great great bagels. Stumbled upon this while searching for breakfast options in the area. Immediately I was drawn by how readily available and easy their menu is written out. I really liked how they had healthier options on their menu rather than your typical white bagels and eggs and bacon. I ordered a whole wheat wrap with eggs, spinach, avocado and mushrooms. My brother had an egg and cheese on a roll. Easy to say we were both very impressed with our orders. Quick service and well made is the easiest way to describe it. Go here, you won't regret it. read more

Excellent bagels and quality cream cheeses of all varieties. The only bagels that do not give me agita. Highly recommend. read more

The most amazing bagel shop I've ever been to! First of all the place is spotlessly clean. The minute you walk in you get that whiff of the fresh baked bagels. The staff is amazingly friendly and will do anything they can to help you out. Now let's get to the bagels. I've never, ever had a bagel like this before. They have artisan bagels that have toppings that I have never seen on a bagel, like olive oil and rosemary. When you first bite into one of these precious little jewels of dough you'll be amazed at the consistency. It's like biting into a pillow of air but yet has the richness of a bagel. If this place wasn't 15 miles from my house I would be there every single Sunday and would be the size of a balloon. Thank God for small favors. :-) If you love bagels and friendly service, get up and go to Grandpa's Bagels in Marlboro read more

Grandpas bagels is a great new spot you have to try! Very friendly staff, unique bagels, and tasty! Highly recommend this for all your bagel needs! read more

Bagels are wonderful /Service is terrible. They can't manage more than a few people. Waited over 10 minutes for a bagel with cream cheese.

I work over night. Every time I come after work they are always closed even though it says they open at 7. It is currently 7:15. Extremely frustrating. The bagels are delicious though. read more

The bagels here are amazing! The perfect balance of crunch and chewy. They have a lot of variety for bagels and offer some unexpected flavors. I highly recommend this place. read more

Rudest employees ever. I asked the girl behind the counter for a packet of equal and she looked at me like I had 10 heads and was very rude about it I said you know like sugar. Finally got my food from the older guy behind the counter I said thank you he just ignored me so rude read more

Not for people who are gluten free. I ordered a gluten free bagel, not toasted to prevent cross contamination. The brand they use I learned is called Original Sunshine, which has "gluten free wheat starch" in it. I took a gamble because I don't have celiac disease, and now my lips are red and swollen. read more

Absolutely love their food but the service is consistently terrible. Every single time I come here there's a problem. We come as a family and it's awful when you wait 30+ mins with a one year old. My order is also consistently prepared wrong. It says a lot that I keep going back because the bagels are truly that good but might think twice before going moving forward. Register girl is amazing btw! Very kind and on her game! Update: went again today, 12/4 and they messed the order up yet again. I ordered 8 bagels, came home to 6. Unbelievable. read more

When fresh the bagels are the best. Somehow they don't do well after defrosting from frozen state. But fresh they are the best.

Amazing bagels!! Try their specialty selection!!! My favorites are the olive oil rosemary and Calabria hot honey.

Excellent lox bagel... think it's called "grandpa's lox". Also liked that they toasted the 'rosemary olive oil' bagel - tasted like a warm sourdough bread. read more

Ever eat a bagel with nothing on it and think, that could have been better? Probably not, because that is weird. But I'm pretty sure that is how this place started. The bagels taste great, like really good quality ingredients were used to make them, but that's about it. They are small, dense and oddly formed... cutting them in half is kind of a challenge. I didn't think the cinnamon raisin was sweet enough or had enough raisins. The everything had a ton of everything, but only o0n the top of the top half. The BEC were just not good. This is not my kinda bagel spot. read more

This is a tasty excellent bagel. I absolutely enjoy the crunchy crust and soft tasty inside. The lox was fresh. One of the best bagels in New Jersey I've tried. Kudos read more

Their rosemary bagel is really good. The outside is crunchy and inside chewy. Pair it with veggie cream cheese and tomato and cucumber, makes a light and healthy breakfast! read more

Literally the best bagels in the area. They're slightly crispy but soft on the inside. The cream cheese is delicious too!

$10 for what was supposed to be a 2 egg PEC bagel sandwich. The bagel itself was inedible.
