What a crock of shit this is. I spent 15$ on 2 sandwiches and a coffee. lesson never get the Taylor ham egg and cheese. This is microwaved garbage from this place. Save your money go down the street and grab yourself a Taylor ham egg and cheese from Ali's food truck it's cheaper and it's cooked on a grill. read more

The bagel itself was fine, bordering on eh? I don't know about this place, I couldn't see past a few things. First off, the place looks super dumpy and dirty. I don't like to jump to conclusion, but it makes me sceptic about how sanitary this place can really be. Second, I ordered up a low fat chicken salad with lettuce, tomato, turkey bacon on a low carb bagel. It was $9 and IT WAS GROSS. Like I took two bites and threw it away gross. Like I didn't even want to complain to management because I didn't want anything else gross. The chicken salad was seriously disgusting, stuffed with peas and a gelatinous mystery texture. The turkey bacon was barely cooked, the whole thing was soggy. I can pretty much eat anything in front of me and I had no problem or remorse throwing this thing away. If you are craving a bagel and really have no where else to go, I'd imagine this could be it, but seriously Taco Truck and Gray's Papaya are wayyyyyy better options, I'd even suggest hitting up Starbucks for grub before heading here. read more

It's shocking to me when Yelp is so far off but it happens. This place is def 4.5-5 stars and exceeds every other bagel place in the area in my view. They are fast and get things done well. The selection is also pretty top notch and the lox bagel, which is a key sandwich by which to judge any solid bagel place, is amazing. read more

I wanted to get out of my normal bagel comfort zone and stumbled upon this place along with my boyfriend. PJ's--a small, no-frills spot close to the train station--was crowded on a weekend morning, but orders moved relatively quickly. I ordered a whole wheat everything bagel with low fat Scallion cream cheese, as well as an iced coffee. The staff was polite, but there was a snag when I asked if they had turbinado sugar/Sugar in the Raw. I clarified that it was "the sugar in the brown packets." This resulted in my coffee being sweetened with brown sugar. Not ideal, not a great taste. The bagels themselves were okay taste wise, but I probably would've gotten a different cream cheese (it was a little on the sour side, and tasted diet-y). They were also on the smaller side, not a great bang for the buck. Overall, the bagels here are okay, but not my first choice in Hoboken. O'Bagel, to me, would be a better choice. read more

Delicious with short wait times. Everything comes out hot and fresh. Warning: Cajun fries may be laced with a highly addictive seasoning

These bagels are amazing!!! I will make a special trip out of the way to take some back home to Maryland. The only bad thing I can say is that it's too far from my home. Delish!! read more

It's been a hot second since I've had a bagel (made-to-order eggs or avo toast at home will do that to ya) -- but we grabbed one from JP's on our walk around Hoboken this past weekend and it was pretty dang good. I wouldn't go as far to say "it's the best bagel I've ever had" (that distinction, I think, goes to my old stomping ground fave Brooklyn Bagel) but it's decent. More importantly, the staff is friendly in all the right ways and they're doing their part in keeping us safe in this COVID world. TBD on how it stacks up (bagel-wise) to Wonder Bagels in JC or any others in Hoboken. It take me awhile to be able to say though, so take this review with a grain of salt... and some everything spice! read more

Pros: * no credit card minimum * * about two blocks away from the PATH train * Cons: Expensive The service here is quick, and during the morning rush, efficient. The bagels here are pretty good but my only dislike about this place is how expensive it is. For a sesame bagel with cream cheese it ran me $3.50 - like what?! I thought NJ was supposed to be cheaper than NYC *sad face* It was my first time here and I had already ordered before I realized the pricing, so of course I'd pay for it. I probably won't be back since getting a bagel with cream cheese and an ice coffee at my local corner cart guy in the city runs me $2.50 for both. read more

10/10 every-time. Anytime I'm in Hoboken I make sure to stop by for a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese! Super quick and great service!

A cold morning and had to get a breakfast in rush and this place is a savvy. They have smoothies , wide range of bagels and omelettes. It is always recommended to take out from This place , since it is super crowded and tough to stand and wait until food is ready. Tip: you can ask for your favorite kind of an omelette to add in the bagel , instead of regular style. read more

Do not order online on a busy day. They can not handle their orders and you will not get your food unless you ask for them to make it. Especially do not pay before you receive your food because you will have to call your credit card to get your money back! This place is on my leave in 2023 list. read more

They are fast, nice and the food is absolutely delicious! Was visiting for a week and this was our breakfast spot every morning.

I love love love this spot! Probably the best bagel spot in Hoboken. The bagel sandwich turns out so good, I always get an egg and cheese with Taylor ham on a multigrain bagel. Be sure to call ahead and order because the line can get really long read more

Best bagels in NJ? No. Best bagels in Hoboken? Absolutely yes. Only place I'll go to in Hoboken. read more

JP's Bagel Express - BEC everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Can't put 0 stars for the service so I put one. I ordered a bagel with eggs, avocado and cream cheese : I had avocado peel in my bagel and the egg tasted like bacon. I had to throw it away. I called to let them know as I am vegetarian (also Muslim) AND pregnant ! Over the phone they told me that they were sorry and to let them know next time I order, it's not like if they were going to remember but whatever. Their answer was "ok bye". They did not even try to send me another bagel, do a refund or anything they just didn't care. For these reason I will never order again. Thanks for the disgusting experience. read more

AMAZING soft and fluffy bagels with the best texture I've had in a while. Cream cheese was great too--I tried the strawberry and it absolutely changed me. I'm a believer in sweet cream cheeses now as a little breakfast treat! We also got a sesame bagel with veggie cream cheese, toasted, and it hit the spot. Service was quick, kind, and efficient ordering right in store. Highly recommend coming here for your bagel fix! read more

Cinnamon raisin bagel is cure to any hangover. So good and so filling. This place is my go to on most days. Although coffee here is decent. read more

Service here was really bad. From out of town and staying at a nice Airbnb. Took a morning walk saw this place thought I would try it out. Placed my order for one bagel and waited as at least 10 other people walked in and placed their order and left. Finally had to go up to ask. Another gentleman that was waiting for a large order...even he noticed how everyone else had placed their order and left and I was still waiting. The lady taking the orders was just absolutely rude!!!! I would not recommend this place at all!! read more

JP's Bagel Express - Bad customer service - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Bagels are good but not worth the headache. Deliveries take well over 2 hours and if you go in person it's complete chaos. Unorganized and rude. Once you do manage to get your order you'll be lucky if everything is correct.. don't try calling to let them know there's an issue with your order, because they don't answer their phone. The decent bagels don't outweigh the crappy customer service. read more

JP's Bagel was on the expensive side; I paid about $3.50 for a toasted onion bagel with cream cheese. I guess I was paying for the convenience. With location being near the PATH station, it's just right on my morning commute route. The bagel was pretty good: slightly doughy and with crisp flavorful onions. I will also add that their spread options are bountiful. There's everything from vegetable cream cheeses to tofu spreads. read more

JP's Bagel Express - Making bagels - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

This is my go to take away spot! The menu is insanely large. Best breakfast platter and home fries I've found in the area! The prices are reasonable. They also have fresh pressed juices. Basically any breakfast or lunch meal they'll have your back here. I continuously order take out here. read more

Been here a few times as it's got key location in Downtown Hoboken. You place the order, get a number, and pay when the order is ready. The bagels are good, but not amazing, and are small for their price. Granted, I've order the same thing each time - toasted everything with strawberry cream cheese. The everything bagel isn't well seasoned (too much empty canvas!) and the cream cheese seems to have an artificial tinge. read more

JP's Bagel Express - whole wheat everything toasted with cream cheese - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

This bagel basically tasted like an above average packaged grocery store bagel in both consistency and taste, I was not impressed.

Go to JP's to put bagels in your face. A $5 breakfast sandwich will keep you full for a solid 6 hours. The bagels are fresh, soft, and chewy. They are also bread and roundness and are full of carbs to soak up whatever nonsense you decided to drink last night. Breakfast sandwiches are made to order; there isn't a microwave remotely involved in the process. A bacon, egg, and cheddar on a toasted everything bagel is my standard order, and I highly recommend you try it as well. Sure, there are a lot of places in Hoboken to get bagels. I'm not going to say JP's is the best, I could be wrong. It is, however, rather delicious, in a convenient location (for walking, less so for parking), and has outdoor seating for people watching. Want some coffee with that bagel? Starbucks across the street. Want a fruit shake with that bagel? Rejuice-a-Nation is a few doors down. Have room for dessert? Carlos's is around the corner. There's probably going to be a line, especially on the weekends. At that point, "JP's Bagel Express" is likely to become "JP's Bagel Eventually". If you have to eat something as soon as you walk in...call ahead. read more

Stopped by a bit late in the afternoon for a quick bite to eat before having to go to a doctor. Figured I needed some food and JP's bagel was right around the corner. We looked at Taco Truck and Gray's Papaya and was like, the bagel should be better on our systems before getting some shots. We walked in and a guy was mopping the floor and decided not to stop as we wanted to get by. We did ask if the place was still open and he said yes and then continued to mop all over us. We still continued (truth be told, my boots could have used that little shine from the salt outside). Went up to the counter where 5 people were standing there sorting stuff out, there was only 6 or 7 bagels left but we didn't hold that against them since it was 3:30 PM in the afternoon on a Saturday. Getting one of the staff's attention was a pain. They all looked at each other when I asked if I could still order a sandwich and after about 30 seconds of confusion the guy who speaks the least amount of English took my order. We tried a Roasted Turkey Sandwich with a toasted jalapeno bagel. Overall it was pretty good. The bread has a slight bite on the outside but is chewy on the inside. The turkey and toppings all seemed fresh. It cost about $7.00, but not a bad deal for their location. However, I kept my eye on the staff and most were just standing around letting 2 of the male ethnic workers do most of the work. I thought I might have invaded on closing time but they stay open until 5:00 PM so no reason to treat us like we were invading on their time. If I am craving a bagel sandwich again, I'd rather just stay hungry and go get a Wonder Bagels where quality and service meet. read more

JP's Bagel Express - Turkey provolone on a jalapeño bagel. - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Definitely watch out what they charge you for. I asked for a bagel with bacon and cheddar cream cheese. I got my food all the way to work and realized they gave me a bagel with bacon and cheddar. I could've figured out the mixup if I was actually offered a receipt after paying. I went back and let them know of the mix up and asked if they would just comp me a bagel another day. They would only comp me $1.50.. Even though I'm pretty sure the difference of what I was charged and what I was supposed to be charged was more than that. Good bagels, okay service (I guess), just make sure you get a receipt and check your food before you leave. read more

A great bagel spot downtown right near the PATH if you're running to the city and need to grab a bite, this is a quick spot to grab and if you're driving out of town and don't want to wait for Starbucks across the street this is another great option early in the mornings, it does packed during rush hour, but they move quite fast. They have lot of options for drinks as well, there is not much parking but there is bike parking and no restroom, so if you have to go, you can run across the street to Starbucks, they take cash or credit and Apple Pay. read more

Best bagels I've had the pleasure of eating! From everything bagel to egg bagel, they are so fresh!

I like that the location is convenient and that they have jalapeño bagels and cream cheese. Ordering is a bit chaotic and it's a hit or miss as they skimp on the cream cheese sometimes. Overall it's solid but there are probably better places in the area. read more

Stopped here before heading to the burbs on NJ transit on a Sunday morning around 9am and it was surprisingly not crowded. I went with a sesame bagel with LF veggie cream cheese and lox. Bagel was very average. The outside crust was a little too crunchy for my liking and the inside wasn't soft enough. The cream cheese to lox ratio wasn't spot on either...definitely needed double the lox! Decent bagel, but there are far better options in the area. read more

This Bagel place is the best I have encountered in Hoboken so far. They have a wide assortment of bagels and spreads, and they make breakfast sandwiches and several other hot options as well. I got my standard toasted blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese (sacrilegious, I know) and was thoroughly satisfied with what JP bagels delivered. The bagel was justified; not a piece of cardboard like you find outside the east coast, and even in parts of New Jersey. The cream cheese was good, though I would have preferred a little more. The service time was average; not fast but not too slow - I was there when it wasn't busy however, so I don't know if it's a convenient stop before a commute. The only thing I have to complain about is the $10 credit card minimum. This is the New York Metro Area; I don't carry cash, nor do many other people living in the 21st century. Also, credit card minimums are technically illegal... just sayin. read more

JP's Bagel Express - Legit bagel selection - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Basically a larger version of the Bagel Smashery, you walk in and you hope that you're not too slow, or the crowd behind you starts to rumble with hunger and push you out of the way. The step up inside precludes handicapped access, but they generally serve quickly and will step out if they notice you can't get up the step. Delivery has a minimum $10 order, but they are open very early, to early evenings. Some random deli selections, too, but really, not something I'd go out of my way for. read more

Indisputably the best bagels in Hoboken. Everything and jalapeno are my favorite. Whole wheat everything is solid too, but if you're gonna eat a bagel, eat a bagel, ya know?! Their egg sandwiches are pretty stellar - they make the eggs fresh, not like the preheated patty garbage that you'll find at Smashery. I generally stick to those egg and cheese on a bagel or a buttered toasted bagel for breakfast, but I've gotten a bagel sandwich with tuna a few times and that's been awesome too. They don't charge extra to add tomato, onions and lettuce to the bagel sandwiches, which is a plus. The service is always great. They're polite enough and super efficient. When things get crazy (read: weekend mornings) they hand out numbers to easily distribute orders. I've never waited longer than 6 or 7 minutes. Bonus: this is the closest hangover cure stop to the Path and NJ transit, so there are always hungover and still drunk girls doing the walk of shame for your entertainment on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Enjoy :). read more

This place it packed and busy on a Saturday morning, with good reason. Incredibly fluffy but chewy super huge bagels, slightly warm from being freshly made. On my ham egg and cheese, they packed on the fillings without reserve. The staff isn't the friendliest or most attentive...then again, they're dealing with a large influx of indecisive, hungover yuppies. Regardless, I enjoyed my bagel sandwich with the accompanied people watching. A good spot that I will put in my Hoboken artillery for future noshing occasions. read more

JP's Bagel Express - Ham Egg & Cheese on a Whole Wheat Bagel - Bagels Near Me - Hoboken, New Jersey

Look, the food is solid. It's definitely expensive, though. My main gripe is that your ordering experience is totally dependent on who takes your order. Most of the cashiers / cooks are good, but there is one cashier who just can't listen. I don't see her there too often, but it's frustrating when you're paying for food and coffee and it's wrong. Black coffee ends up light and sweet. Ketchup ends up on BECs. Sometimes sausage instead of bacon. Ask for turkey, get ham. I just don't get it, and it's the worst when it's a large group order and most of it is wrong. There has to be some better process here. This could easily be 4 stars if not 5, but please get your cashiers to pay attention and write down the correct order. read more

Great bagels, strange but fun vibe as you stand around with a dozen other people waiting for your order. You kind of have to keep asking for your food because it might be on the shelf but might be in the kitchen. Staff is very friendly and works fast. read more
