    I was excited to try the new bagel spot that opened on the 5 mile island and had the opportunity today. Unfortunately, the bagels fell short and I would liken them to a supermarket bagel aka roll with a hole and came with the leanest layer of cream cheese I've ever seen at a bagel shop. The place itself was nice, new, and clean and is connected to a liquor store so I guess you can grab some alcohol and bagels as a one stop destination. They had a small selection of flavored cream cheeses covered in plastic wrap behind the counter in really small quantities. Orders are placed at the cashier and then you wait for it to come out from a counter with a kitchen behind it. The cook places the order on the counter and rings a bell, then they call out your number. They were efficient as 3 bagels were ready in minutes. We ordered the bagels lightly toasted because judging by the looks of them they weren't going to be steaming fresh traditional boiled bagels and we were right. In my opinion a great bagel should never need toasting but perhaps I'm just a NY bagel snob :).

    Long line worth the wait!

    Island Bagels is a pretty new establishment that opened just this month. So far they made a pretty good first impression on me. I'm usually not one to care about decor but I loved it. The murals and the interior have some nice personality. It's a casual dining place to get breakfast and lunch. Pretty fast too, perfect for a quick bite. Their menu consists of breakfast staples like pancakes, breakfast sandwiches, and bagels. Interestingly, they also serve some cocktails too. Not a drinker so I didn't give a taste but it was available when I went over there at 10:00 in the morning. I ordered the Garden Omelette with tater tots. It came out pretty quickly and it was pretty delicious. The omelette was cooked to perfection and had nice fresh veggies in them. The portion size was pretty decent so I don't think you'll leave hungry. Of course like the name suggests, they have lots of bagels available. There's a good variety of bagels and spreads to choose from. I liked what I saw and tasted today. I think I'm definitely going to become a regular here and am looking forward to trying out their range of bagels and spreads.

    I love this place. One morning, I went to order and told the cashier I am deaf, so she helped me ordered by showing me the cup sizes I wanted. I told her I won't be able to hear when the order will be ready. She said no problem. When the order was ready the the owner's sister in law brought the order to me. I was impressed and touch by their service. The cashier was such a sweetheart. The staff were professional and respectful. This place is so clean, the service is quick. This is a well run business operation. The best part about this place, the breakfast so good! lol.

    Yum

    Great breakfast spot. It has a little of everything. It is also attached to a liquor store and the Bloody Mary is delicious.

    The drive was not exclusively for this place and I explored a lot of other fun places, like the boardwalk.

The people working there were as friendly as can be and the feel was like someone was cooking in their own kitchen at home for you. The menu is mostly breakfast items and they have several vegetarian and vegan options which was nice. They also sell some CBD and wellness products. We decided to order a slice of quiche, 2 jumbo muffins (blueberry and chocolate chip) and a cappuccino. Unfortunately, the frothing part of the espresso machine was not working so I was unable to try the coffee. We waited outside for over 15 minutes after they told me that they were preparing our order. It was an oddly long wait since I told them they don't need to heat the quiche. Anyway, when we got home we found the jumbo muffins were not jumbo at all and were smaller than a regular muffin. They also tasted very dry. The quiche was very good but was more of a sliver than slice. The kicker was that these 2 tiny muffins and sliver of quiche was $15! I guess the breakfast sandwiches are the thing to get here but I'm not sure we will be giving them another shot based on this experience which pains me as much as I really wanted to love this small business.

    Everything has always been fresh and delicious. Such nice folks to deal with too. My favorite over…read morethe years has been their chili. Every sweet has been amazing. Can't wait to try their apple cake and cinnamon rolls!

Recently it moved to a new location that seems bigger. The bagels are great but some can be kinda thick. We took some home to family in VA. Lots of variety. I personally like the omelette but now it comes with a fried hashbrown like from McDonalds instead of home fries. You can pay extra if you want home fries. I've also had French toast and everything bagels with cream cheese. They do use a lot of cream cheese and on another visit I mentioned light cream cheese and light butter but they didn't have a button on the computer for that so there's no way for the bakery counter to know that. There's a selection of coffees, lunch with sandwiches. Lots of options. The inside is decorated with beach wall paintings. My only complaint is it's a little disjointed on that your order does come out together based on the layout. You pick up food from a kitchen window when your name is called or at the smoothie/coffee/bakery counter. Depending on how big your party is, you might have to wait around and check up on it. Unfortunately it was that way at the old location too so I recommend double checking your takeout orders to make sure you have everything. The food is always great so I definitely recommend them for breakfast. There is even an order ahead option online. No outside seating in their new location by shop rite which is kinda a bummer if you want to enjoy dinner weather outside. Multiple locations in the area though.

Chocolate chip: looked like hockey pucks had 2-3 single chips in them. Formula is horrible and the bakers have no clue how to make and proof them. At 11.00 dollars for 6 bagels wont ever be back. Yet i'd be happy to pay that price if they were good. I think this operation is destined for failure like the Shop Rite location.. I'll good to Walmart and spend 3.69 for Lenders raisin/ cinnamon Sad .. used to be an outstanding place when Sean started it.
