Mel's Bagels & Deli - Bacon egg & cheese on egg bagel - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

I have eaten here multiple weeks. The service is friendly and fast. The bagel sandwiches are delicious and prices are reasonable. Overall an awesome win. read more

Went on a saturday morning with my girlfriend and it was fairly packed, service was quick and the atmosphere seemed very local. I got an everything bagel with bacon and cheese and my girlfriend got a pork roll and cheese, where we both got hash browns. The food was good but I think Bagel Garden in Branchburg is a bit better, would definitely recommend this place! read more

Great food. Well organized. Pleasant service. Love the belly buster ! I ate 1/2 before I realized I was supposed to take a picture.

I have been going to Mel's for years. I grew up in the Bronx and bagels are an important part of my life. Maze does it right. I enjoy eating bagels and I also enjoy the other foods that they make here. I give them a five star. read more

Fresh bagels, toasted light perfectly. And good service. Wearing gloves handling good was a plus for me

Excellent Philly Cheese Steak, bagels and chicken salad with iced coffee all year round. Off street parking with a very friendly and competent staff makes this a top spot for breakfast and lunch. read more

I order from this place all the time with the company and i ordered 1 time and could not pick it up because of emergencies as a nurse and they would not make me another sandwich. It had been sitting with mayonnaise at the front counter from 8-1pm, would they eat it. Very sad. not ordering again. read more

My family loves Mel's! I always get the blueberry pancakes. Delicious food and great prices.

On my short visit to Flemington, I liked this place so much that I got 2 breakfast meals and 2 lunch meals and brought one of my Flemington family members here for breakfast--it was that good. For breakfast: I got the Egg White Veggie Wrap 2X. Don't see any reason to get anything else here for Breakfast. It was the best of the best of any place you will eat breakfast. For lunch: I got the Boar's Head Oven Gold Turkey on a Multi-Grain Bagel 2X with Lettuce, Pickles, Onions, Tomatoes. Hold the Mayo, add Mustard. I took the second one on the plane with me out of Philadelphia and it held up well on the way to Denver. Bagels here are excellent. People that work here--work hard, but are rough and gruff--they are doing You a favor by serving you such great food so don't expect friendliness. Don't expect a hello or thank you--just quality food served Fast. And I rather have great food and bad attitude, than great attitude and bad food. You want both? Move to Iowa. There are a few tables inside to sit at after you order--clean them yourself--they are too busy to get to them. Free and easy parking. Thanks for staying open on Labor Day when everyone else was closed. I would definitely dine here again on my next trip to Flemington. read more

Busy like most good bagel joints but they keep things moving along. Food was good. Big selection and all seemed to look delicious. Nothing really set it apart from other local spots but still a solid 4 stars. read more

Some of the best bagels I have ever had! Try the pork roll egg and cheese. You can thank me later.

whole wheat everything bagel for the win !! the pork roll was delicious as well. good pricing for the quality. nice staff & quick service read more

Simply. Delicious. Ordered ahead of time for pickup and it was ready to go within 10 - 15 minutes. The sandwiches were hot and the cheese was melted perfectly. We were asking ourselves... wow what is making this so good?! Not only was it hot but there was a generous amount of meat on the sandwich and a perfect balance of all workings. The bagels were soft so we knew they were very fresh and double sided with everything seasoning which is always a huge plus. The shop was busy but not crowded because the staff were hustling and ensuring everyone a short but enjoyable experience while picking up their food. Highly recommend! read more

Mel's Bagels & Deli - Taylor Ham (Pork Roll), Egg and Cheese on an everything bagel [Salt, Pepper, Ketchup] - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

I couldn't fully taste my food because of the bad taste left in my mouth by the customer service here, but I'll do my best. I'll start with the good, the meat and veggies are very fresh. I got a bagel with turkey, provolone, and your standard sub fixings. It was a solid sandwich. It's hard to know the definite quality of the bagel since I had it as a sandwich but I would say it's better than an out-of-state bagel (exception NY), but not as good as the best of Jersey/NY. The bad: I don't recommend coming here with children. You'd assume a deli wouldn't be a place offended by two kids but we were treated like our business wasn't good here. This is my second time coming here. The first time they weren't busy and the woman who helped us was definitely not pleasant but also nothing to really complain about. This time, they were a little busier and the same woman was downright nasty to us and creating her own problems. We tried to be as quick as possible and tame the kids but she really made us feel like we brought in wild animals. She did that thing where she's really abrupt and almost rude for awhile, realizes you're a paying customer who might complain so changes her tune a little by saying "I hope you enjoy it" and then passive aggressively tells me "here's the menu, order ahead next time" in a nasty tone. Don't worry lady, there won't be a next time. There are plenty of delis who can handle a couple of kids for a total of 15 mins, I'll take my business elsewhere. I'd really like to give two stars for the way we were treated, but I've settled for 3 since there was nothing wrong with the food (except the fries that had absolutely no seasoning/salt and tasted like the oil they were fried in, definitely pass on the fries unless that sounds appealing to you.) For context: we were a party of 5, 2 young kids, 1 preteen, and 2 adults. We were not rude , the kids were not running all over the place or being destructive. They were loud at times and we were able to quickly quiet them down. Our orders were simple, the most complicated thing was the sandwich which wasn't at all complicated. I'm not sure if she was the owner or manager, she seems to run things on the particular day that I go. If there is a different owner I'd be happy to share my experience with them in detail over a private email or message, but I don't think it's necessary to go into too much detail over yelp. I think my profile speaks for itself, I'm an easy customer to please, it's hard to anger me and I try to be as accommodating and fair as possible, and what we experienced that day was not right. read more

Hey Mel's, stop serving stale bread. Over and over. Your rolls are stale. Throw the old stuff out . Not that difficult. Anyways, the bagels are fresh. read more

SECOND REVIEW because I said last time was a mistake but same shit! 4 workers and they answer the phone before waiting on me and I was the only one there. Then they joked and laughed after taking my order-it took 4 minutes to crack an egg for my breakfasts. Zero stars if I could leave it. Horrible customer service. They do not like non locals. Don't go here! WAWA IS BETTER read more

Classic small town Bagel and Deli where you can get a good breakfast sandwich, bagels, and classic sandwiches, subs, and wraps. It is a great place to go for a decent deli sandwich at a reasonable price. About 6 indoor tables and 2 or three outdoor tables offer seating, but it gets crowded on weekends. read more

Mel's Bagels & Deli - A few 4 tops shown, and a couple of 2 tops not pictured - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

Super simple bagel shop with good food. I went with a simple western omelette bagel sandwich. Ingredients in the omelette are cooked up a little first (I think the right way, not just folded into a cooked egg.) Also some home fries right in the sandwich as well. If it was somewhere local to me I'd definitely be giving it a frequent go. read more

Mel's Bagels & Deli - Cheese omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

Today was my first time stopping in after passing this place a few times when I was in the area. It's a small little place where you could grab some breakfast, coffee or even some lunch . They have a pretty large selection of different items to choose from. You could see that there were many regulars when the owner greeted customers . I decided to order a bacon and cheese on an everything bagel. The bagel was nice a fluffy and eggs and meat cooked well. Was just about $5 which about average to other places. Although I'm not from that area I would definitely stop back in if I was. Maybe I could get the owner to crack a smile next time . But he was a cute old man and just hustling and bustling the morning rush . read more

Nice small shop in a small plaza center with a few other stores, I've come here one or twice in the past and didnt have a great experience with the food. The taste of the items wasnt so great or subpar and was missing what i asked. A really upsetting thing is they only have pork as the choice of meat and a super thin and fake piece if turkey sausage. Its not fresh its frozen because from a person who has eaten all kinds of turkey sausage knows thats frozen stuff. So I went yesterday for brunch and got an egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel with the turkey sausage. I added salt pepper and ketchup and to my surprise it was very good but the piece of turkey sausage was way too small for it to be .85 and $5 for bagel with eggs and cheese is too much as well. I've been to plenty other great bagel joints and got my moneys worth. More egg then meat is really sad and there's way too much salt on the everything bagel i wish there was less salt. The workers are nice people which is always a plus for me because rude people aren't the way to a successful business and wont give good star ratings. I'll post a photo and show what I got but a last minute comment my sandwich was all bagel and not a whole lot of food but egg. read more

I happened to be in the area and was looking for a bagel for breakfast. Their bagels are so good! The best bagel I've had in a long time! Definitely recommend! read more

BEST porkroll egg & cheese in county HANDS down. The chicken soup is also very good as is the tuna lunch sandwich platter.

Zero stars if I could leave it. Horrible customer service. They do not like non locals. Don't go here if you're in town for baseball. Wawa and Dunkin up the street. read more

The service is kinda slow due to high demand. They tend to forget something in the order. The egg and cheese on a bagel is delicious.

1st and last time here! Unfriendly employees/No hello, can I help you or thank you. Mediocre small rubbery bagel at a premium price $3.50 for a bagel with creme cheese. Go to the Bagel Garden on 202 in Bridgewater for a real NY style bagel read more

Tasty bagels, lots of cream cheese, home fries good and crumb cake. Fast and friendly service.

Quick stop while running errands in the area. Wanted to try mom n pop local place rather than a chain joint, & this hit the spot. Only one person there when I came in, so I don't know if I missed the breakfast rush, or if they didn't get one. I hadn't looked at reviews before going in. Anyway, there were two guys behind the counter, older man (owner?), & young Hispanic man. Both friendly & efficient. Asked me if i wanted salt/pepper/ketchup (sure!) & I was out within probably 5 minutes. It would have been a little better if the bagel was toasted, but I hadn't requested it. Maybe I just thought that was standard (?). Bagel is probably twice the size of a DD bagel, & the sandwich was probably less than I would have paid if I had gone there. Plus it was better than a McD option for the same price. read more

I always grab breakfast or a sandwich here while my kids play baseball at diamond nation. Excellent food. Fresh coffee. Good with allergies

I come here for the bagels, obviously. They're freshly made and they have a nice selection. Now that it under new ownership yet again, the service is much nicer and faster. That being said, it's so hot in here during the summer. There's no AC only fans and its not working. So if you're planning on eating in, prepared to be hot. read more

Mel's Bagels & Deli - Everything bagel with low-fat cream cheese and scallions - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

Stopped in for some coffee and a toasted bagel and butter early this morning. Varieties were limited at eight thirty am which I thought was surprising. Friendly service, great coffee and the bagel was very good. However, my toasted bagel and butter contained zero evidence that it had been buttered. Major pet peeve. Order a bagel and cream cheese, you get plenty. Order a buttered bagel and people dole out the butter like it's a precious commodity. Aggravating. Still, a nice place to stop and get a quick crunch. read more

First time here after an early morning anesthesiology seminar. Bagel was as damn good. Had the marble rye with lox spread.
