I love NY bagels (Long Island spoiled me), so I was wondering if I could find something similar here in Hoboken. Well, I found something pretty close, and it was here at JP's Bagel Express. There is not much seating area inside, but who sits down in these establishments anyway? This is definitely one of those places where you get in and get out. They have a pretty extensive menu of bagels (cinnamon raisin, plain, oat, whole wheat, etc.), breakfast sandwiches, and other kinds of sandwiches. They have on display all the bagels you can get, and according to the sign posted on the window, they hand-roll and bake all their bagels. Their cinnamon raisin bagels are delicious. They're very doughy, and not sickeningly sweet. I got it with scallion cream cheese at first, but I thought there were a little too many scallion pieces in the cheese, so I just downgraded to plain cream cheese. The cream cheese here is very good, it's kind of fluffy, and it does not taste like glue (ahem, chain donut place down the street from here)! Plus, for $2.14, that's the amount of money I was spending on breakfast at work, anyway. $10 minimum on credit card purchases so unless you're buying tons of food, come ready with cash. I try to stop here on my way to the train station in Hoboken every morning, and I usually get my bagel in like under 3 minutes! Love it! read more

Bagels are fresh, service is fast, overall good bagel spot. Got the fresh squeezed orange juice and was disappointed with it. Coffee was decent. Bagel with egg and cheese was four stars. Bagel with scallion cream cheese was three stars. Final rating: 3.5 rounded up to 4. read more

Best Place in Town, Outstanding Customer Service. Thank You is the last thing you'll hear after you've experienced this place.

Good food but they have awful service and process. Weekends are chaos - expect to wait for your food for 3x the amount of time they give you. Shame because the food is one of the better spots in town. read more

This place is such a basic bagel shop. I got a bagel sandwich with egg whites and turkey bacon and there was barely even a full egg on it. The everything bagel had oats on it and was not flavorful. I ended up eating just the egg and turkey bacon because there was too much bagel and not enough filling. Won't be back read more

Just avoid this place until they improve their horrible service, they have no idea what you order, preparing half of the order and so cheap with the orders. Even when you are willing to pay they still cheap and probably this place needs a major improvement. Even if you place a pick up they are delaying you for 5 minutes (what's the point, in a pick up?). Food is okay, like any other average bagel, but nothing like the rudeness of the cashier and her inability to understand how to serve customers in a nice way. If you didn't get it, we will never come back there. read more

Just another mediocre bagel place. Bagels are not impressive. They are not that fluffy inside and not crispy outside either. Taylor ham, egg, and cheese bagel sandwich is alright. read more

Delicious bagel! HUGE and I love that they have tofu cream cheese, an amazing alternative for someone looking for a dairy free or vegan option. read more

JP's Bagel Express - Tofu cream cheese, lettuce, tomato, avocado on an everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

$10.50 for (2) bagels with cream cheese and (1) bagel with butter!!! Is that some kind of joke. I understand inflation, but we're talking about bread and butter here. Plus the bagels aren't all that. Never again!!! read more

If you're looking for NYC quality bagels in JC/Hoboken area, this is your spot. The bagels here are really fresh. They have a variety of bagels you can get with a spread or a variety of breakfast sandwiches with eggs and a choice of meat. They also will substitute eggs with egg whites! I usually go with the bacon egg and cheese on a toasted everything bagel and it never fails to disappoint. The line here is always long so make sure to call ahead for an order. read more

JP's has the most unreal Flagels. They made me 12 fresh flagels to pick up and they even threw sautéed onion on the everything ones.

Like their bagels, but saw this and now I don't know if I can step in this place again. read more

JP's Bagel Express - Saw this by their salad bar. This is so gross! Wouldn't go back until they get a cleaner to come in. - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Been here twice for a nova lox which had capers, tomato, onion, and of course, cream cheese and salmon. It was SO GOOD. Everyone in there seemed really nice too. Definitely check this place out! read more

I've been there 5 times to get breakfast take-out. Twice I've been given the wrong bagel, one of which I had to throw away as I didn't like the flavor. One time I got the cream cheese on the side and all I got was a 2oz tub which barely wet half the bagel. I checked my bagel on my last order and again I got the 2oz cream cheese on the side, no discount vs having it in the bagel. I asked the server if that was the same as what would be put on the bagel and she said that this is the size you get when it's on the side. I told her we're being ripped off and she laughed at me. One less customer and one more review. read more

After ordering online and in person there is no consistency with their order accuracy. If you ask for salt or extra eggs I advise to mention it more than once. Other than that the bagels are good if they get it right. read more

Ehhh overrated... Everything bagel should be callled a plain bagel with a slight dusting of everything. The ham was overly browned and just kind of meh. Not bad but not amazing. The bagels are HUGE and good chewy to fluffy ratio. They have a good variety of cream cheese and selection of bagels. I would go here but it wouldnt be my choice to come here. If you are into everything bagels with not everything on it... you will enjoy it, if you are like me - you'll be disappointed =/ *Enjoy! read more

Every time I walk out of here with a sandwich, I vow to never come back again. This time, I'm making it stick. Did you know they charge .75 if you want a slice of tomato on something? It's RIDICULOUS. And I'm talking a thin slice of usually soggy tomato. I knew that walking in this time and got my typical sandwich anyway only to be hit with a charge a dollar more than what I'm used to paying. I try to tell the guy I never pay this much and he gives me some crap about the tomatoes. The staff here has an attitude, they're sloppy on the job and don't even produce very good food. It's called CUSTOMER SERVICE - learn how to treat your customers AHOLE. Oh, and in the summer, be sure to look for all the flies caught inside the bagel case. Avoid or go at your own risk. There are plenty of better, cleaner, friendlier establishments within a 4-block radius. read more

Be aware that they are steeling your money I order a meet and egg sandwich and the guy charge me for cheese, when I confront me he say that the prices from the sing don't match the register. And he didn't have me my money back. With me was a quarter. But how many hundreds is that during the day. Is expensive enough already. read more

JP's Bagel Express - Instead of charging me $4.75 she charge me $4.99 And asked for a egg and pork roll no cheese. - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

OK, I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you know me as a person you probably know a few things about me at minimum. I'm an intensely honest person and I'm pretty easy going most of the time. I avoid confrontation under most circumstances unless I'm protesting for a cause I believe in or if someone is dishonest or hurts myself or someone close to me. Why do I write this? Stick with me folks, it brings me to this bagel shop. A few weeks back, I bought a sausage, egg white and cheese sandwich. This is my usual order and is the reason I'm the "Duke". All seemed to go well, it went off without a hitch like any other morning. Three days later, I went back in and was asked if I was asked if I was a regular in the usual business attire I wear to work. I responded in the affirmative, as truths are truths. The lady then tried to charge me for my sandwich on my new card saying my old card didn't go through! Are you kidding me? Nice try JPs. I've worked retail. I know how these machines work. Either they work...or they don't. My card either went through (I was told of the cancellation later that day) or it didn't. If it didn't, proper protocol is to ask for another card on the spot. At the end of the day, it's five bucks. It's the way this store does business which leads me to never want to visit again. read more

Solid bagels in a town where, surprisingly, there are a lot of sub-par bagel places. JP's is the best bagel place in Hoboken, but that's not saying much. The bagels in Brooklyn and Manhattan are much better. Unfortunately, if you live in downtown Hoboken, you're stuck with JP's (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). Someone at JP's should wake up and stop charging $1.00 per bagel. Oh, and don't buy cream cheese here, unless you want to pay out the nose. This review is a lot more negative than I anticipated. If the bagels weren't good, I would have given 2 stars, at most. read more

Great bagels...but horrendous service and inconsistent prices. It's honestly as if they don't listen to you when ordering, because they always forget cheese, or add cheese or forget tomatoes...then charge you extra for whatever they felt like adding-on or have forgotten. Been going to this place for over 4 yrs because the bagels are the best in Hobo. But no more- boom! Rotten review. read more

Hands down the best bagel place in Hoboken! They're friendly, quick, and their breakfast sandwiches are delicious. Tip: This place is usually packed on a weekend morning, but don't let that scare you away. If you want to avoid the line, come early before all the hungover people start crawling out of their beds. read more

I came by to pick up something quick before an appointment. The line was short enough so I was able to put in my order of a sesame bagel with cream cheese and lox and got it within a few minutes. What surprised me as I got my order was the cost. For one sesame bagel with lox and cream cheese and an Honest bottle of tea, my total was $12. Did I just get taken? Someone please tell me I didn't pay $12 for a bagel sandwich and 1 drink. The sandwich was good but $12?!? Although the sandwich was good I dropped it one star purely for the price. read more

The oats??? and did they put like caster sugar or something?? It's giving discarded bread but they're in a budget

Tough swimming coming in here early on the morning. The line builds up quick because everyone wants their bagel and coffee. But who can blame them? This is one of the best spots in town to grab your breakfast meal. It's close to the PATH train and right on route for just about the majority of us. There's better places to be had in Manhattan in comparison, but when we're talking Hoboken and Hoboken alone, I've found this place to be my breakfast of choice most days. I don't like waiting through the train ride to get my meal anyway. I've never been let down by their work. I've only gotten cream cheese bagels and bacon egg & cheese bagels - bagels aren't cardboard at all, they're quite fluffy and scrumptious. My one pet peeve is they suck at cutting the bagels in half. I hate fighting with it when I'm starving and just trying to get started with one side of the sandwich. Nowhere to sit inside (there's a couple seats by the window, good luck), they have seating outside but when the cold starts to pick up they become vacant for good reason. It's a place to grab your bagel and dash. read more

Back before I had to cut all wheat, and gluten and grain products from my life...I had a love affair with all delis in the morning. My standard go to on the weekends was turkey, egg whites, pepper jack cheese, and hot sauce on a kaiser roll. Let me tell you, they do it really well here. It's probably one of the best breakfast sandwiches ever. Sure, it gets mobbed. But it's so close to the Path...so anyone going into or out of the city is likely to pass this place. (DD is closer, but their bagels are booty.) The staff is super friendly too...and one is always wearing a Penn State cap, so I can't complain really. They also have different kinds of bagels than your standard plain, raisin, everything, salt and poppy seed. They have oat bran, whole wheat everything, cheese, blueberry, pumpernickel...a really nice selection. I think my sandwich ended up being $3-$4 (this was around this time last year I used to visit when I worked nearly every Saturday for a few months). read more

great bagels, the everyday bagel shop that has never disappointed. Fresh and very flavorful bagels.

I bought an Italian sandwich and a sesame bagel at JP's. The sandwich was my lunch, and the bagel was my dinner on the bus. I have to say the sandwich was disappointing--the meats were more bland than I wanted, without the salty, spicy goodness that's in the best Italian subs. The hot peppers also didn't pack much of a kick. The bagel, on the other hand, was crispy/chewy and delicious, even hours later. The ordering and waiting process at JP's is nerve-wracking. The tiny storefront gets incredibly crowded, and there's some chaos as people push through the crowd to order or get food. It's also confusing that you pay when you pick up your food, instead of when you order it. If I go back, it will be for the bagels. $10 minimum on credit cards. read more

Best bagel in Hoboken, but definitely not the best bagel I've ever had. Saturday mornings, everything bagel with chive cream cheese is a regular for me. Coffee isn't very good, but there's a Starbucks right across the street. Place gets SUPER crowded and busy so make sure you check how much they ring you up for your order. Sometimes I'll order the same thing on different days and I'd be charged differently... I feel like sometimes they just arbitrarily hit the register... read more

Love this place...no pre-made eggs like that place on Washington. Their egg and cheese bagels are wonderful too. Not the friendliest people in the world. Even when it's empty they don't really speak..but the food is good. read more

Fresh bagels, quick service and great location if you need a quick bite around the Hoboken terminal. Cream cheese & bagel flavors are somewhat limited compared to other shops in the Jersey City area but for convenience, this will do the trick! read more

Honestly just awful. And expensive. Went there to get two bagels... One with just taylor ham and ketchup (no egg or cheese). The other was a bacon egg and cheese with avocado. Also asked for a little bacon on the side, When she rung me up it was $17. Really? They forgot the ketchup on the first bagel and there was so little avocado on the second one I dont even know what I paid for. The side of bacon was also so bad that I tossed it. Never again. read more

We go here often for bagels and sandwiches, the food is great and staff super friendly. Love it!

This place is one of my favorite bagels places in New Jersey. It's makes its bagels in house, and has very quick and friendly service. The location is also perfect as you can quickly grab and go if you're walking to the Hoboken Path Station. They have a wide selection and the bagels are absolutely delicious. Definitely check this place out! read more

They used to be better back in the day now it's not the prices are outrageous and every time I'm in there before the morning rush I still have to wait 30 minutes for a bagel and smoothie it's just not worth the effort going there anymore read more

Hoboken has few decent bagel places so that's why I'm a bit torn on this review. Here is a place that comes close to above average yet falls just short. I'm sure they do a lot of business here with the location being so close to the Path station and ferry. A decent place to get a quick bagel on the go. Couple of tables but no bathroom. I got an everything bagel with regular cream cheese and it was more like a "barely anything" bagel. They skimped on the toppings. For some strange reason they put oatmeal flakes as one of the everything bagel toppings. I've never seen that before. If they were more generous with the toppings this place would really be something. It's a shame because the bagel was warm, soft, and fresh. If they put a little more effort in presentation or maybe added more of a variety of cream cheeses, this shop could have potential to rival the one other good place in Hoboken, Hoboken Hot Bagels. If you have a train or ferry to catch and don't want to walk the extra steps, then I guess this place is for you. For now, you just have to put this place in the "just ok" category. read more

We stopped by here this morning because we were hanging out in downtown Hoboken. Got some coffee from Bean Vault but wanted a more substantial breakfast. They present their bagels well so I had pretty high expectations as I walked in. I got an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. The cream cheese was pretty good -- the veggies were nice and chunky which is how I like my veggie cream cheese. Unfortunately the bagel itself was fairly mediocre, just a notch above a good grocery store bagel. The texture of the bagel was just not right -- not chewy enough. Hoboken Hot Bagels is still the best bagel in town. read more

Located just a couple blocks from the Hoboken Terminal, this has become my go-to bagel shop on the weekdays.The menu is pretty extensive, but really I just stick to breakfast sandwiches and bagels. And they do it fairly well. Bacon, egg, and cheese has sufficient substance to it and the bagels themselves are very good. The place itself is tight and in the mornings quite crowded but step past the people standing around and step up to the counter to place your order. Taking things to go is the best choice here since there is only seating for about half a dozen. Overall, not too bad for a quick stop-in but not a place to go hang out. read more

Great Bacon Egg & Cheese Sandwiches. However, they will sometimes charge you a dollar extra if you want onions, lettuce, or tomatoes on your bagel sandwich. Nevertheless, this is possibly Hoboken's best Bacon Egg & Cheese Sandwiches read more

Ordering at this place is kind of a hassle. Stand around and wait for your order along with the other people. No place to sit really, so it's mostly take-out. My husband and I just bout our bagels to go and ate at the W, where we were staying. Not the greatest bagel but not the worst. It's just like the rating says "Ok." read more
