Best bagels in the area hands down!!! Great people there too. Definitely worth a try if you are craving a good bagel breakfast sandwich!

It's fine but nothing special. Bagel sandwich was good... but basic. My coffee was not very hot and tasted burnt. Service was pleasant but very slow. Lots of dirty table but plenty of space to sit. Nothing exciting to see in regards to ambiance. read more

NDB is always my go-to breakfast spot when I'm in the area. As a New Jersey native, good bagels are hard to come by in this area but I think this place stands out. Things have changed slightly since the last time I visited (mainly, the prices have significantly inflated compared to other bagel spots). I ordered a bagel with lox and scallion cream cheese as well as a gatorade... the total came out to $19.32 which I think is very excessive. Maybe other options are less expensive here, but definitely keep that in mind if you're on a budget. The food itself was very tasty and well-balanced. The staff were friendly and worked quickly, so I still feel like NDB is a good option for something tasty on the go in the mornings! read more

Newark Deli & Bagels - Lox and Gourmet Cream Cheese Breakfast - Delis Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Had to renew my parking twice waiting for a bacon egg and cheese bagel during spring break with no one in the store. $9 for the sandwich, nothing else, and it's ok at best. Floppy bacon and the bagel is cold when she handed it to me. They didn't cut it all the way through so it pulls apart when you try to grab half of it. People say to support local business but if I'm paying $10 for a breakfast sandwich and 20 minutes of parking, it needs to be hot, it needs to be cut all the way thorough and the bacon needs to be crisp. All of that is basically free for them to do with no extra help or time needed. Probably my last time coming here. Double ouch. read more

Disorganized beyond belief! I waited 50 minutes for a bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel and when I got it its was COLD. Worst ever. Will never return. read more

Waited 20 minutes for a terrible bacon egg and cheese that I paid over $8 for. All I taste is cheese. Won't be back here again. Staff was standing around, on their phones, and drinking their own coffee while I'm standing here busy. Went and asked where my order is after 15 minutes and their response was "We got busy." No you didn't, because there's bigger orders than mine coming out before mine that ordered after me! Make it make sense. read more

great bagels just sometime the wait is long when it's busy. owner is always there which is good to see. read more

I was excited to try this place because I grew up in NY/NJ and it LOOKED legit. However, the bagels were incredibly bland and while I ordered veggie cream cheese, I got plain. read more

The worst food I've ever had. Stale bagel at 9am. Asked for Turkey bacon she said yes. Gave me regular bacon, asked for ice tea, she said they have it. Looked at the machine to be sure. After he daughter told her it was out of order. I figured she would check and tell me if I couldn't have any. Gave me a cup charged me for it and it was out of order. Sandwich was put together horribly as soon as you pull it apart everything falls out of it because it wasn't full cut. The best part was the iced coffee I had to make myself and add flavor to because other wise it was also stale. First and last time I'll ever go there. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! I felt the reviews were a bit unfair and harsh. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese bfast bagel online. They called me to let me know they were out of poppyseed bagels. I appreciated that they reached out to me to let me know before I came to pick up. I thought the sandwich was delicious! Not greasy at all and ample amount of cheese and bacon (perfectly cooked I might add). I thought the prices were fair, remember we are in a pandemic people be kind!!! Mind you I came 30 mins before closing on the weekend so I wasn't expecting to be blown away. Also the staff was young and extremely polite and nice when I arrived. read more

Really poor ordering system and not enough staff. Forgetting orders all over the place. Way too long to wait for a bagel. They seem overwhelmed. read more

sometimes i wonder if the food is worth the awful service. They are so rude everytime I come there, mostly the woman up front. Great food and I know they're busy but it doesn't give you the right to be an asshole to every single customer. They refuse to let you get your takeout without waiting in the line. That usually takes 20 minutes which is insane. I saw my order sitting there and they still made me wait 30 minutes till everyone before me ordered. This is just not how you run a business. Please fix your attitudes. read more

Still the best breakfast and lunch spot on Main Street. Best bagels in the area. I haven't had bagels better than this anywhere else.

Typically really good bagels, but today there was barely any cream cheese. I typically get a bagel every week. See the picture below. Hopefully they can start adding a reasonable amount of cream cheese in the future. read more

Newark Deli & Bagels - Bagel with Regular Cream Cheese - Delis Near Me - Newark, Delaware

The owner was very rude to us when we put our order in. She stood over the cashier's shoulder when we told her what we wanted. She made several rude comments. I know we went there ten minutes before closing, but if she didn't want to serve us so close to closing, she should have said something. The sandwiches we ordered were a mess just thrown together because she had an attitude. The only bright spot was the cashier was very friendly and apologetic. A waste of 29.00. read more

I used to love this place, so when I was back in town I tried to treat myself to a bagel. Unfortunately due to their horrible customer service I don't think I will ever be back. When their card reader rejected my card I offered to pay online through their website so the payment would go through. The person at the register just stared at me so I sat down and placed my order - their website directed me to Grub Hub. Then once the order was placed I went back to the counter to let them know that Grub Hub said they only offered delivery and not pickup, but that the order was for me and I was available to pick it up when ready. Then the owner came over and told me that I should not have used Grub Hub because now the store would have to pay a fee to Grub Hub. I was getting annoyed at this point because I tried repeatedly to pay without using Grub Hub, but I just apologized and said I keep that in mind for next time. Then I sat down to wait for my order. I was passing time on my phone and realized half an hour had gone by. When I went to check on my order, it was sitting on the counter with a receipt taped to it that said it had been finished 15 minutes prior. They just let me sit there while my food got cold. The egg and cheese sandwich was just ok but was not worth the 45 minutes that I spent in the store. Now its been a week and I just saw on my credit card statement that I was charged $22 for one bagel sandwich! I looked at my Grub Hub account and they had added $10 of additional delivery and driver fees even though I picked the order up in person! Now I have to go through Grub Hub customer service to try to get the fraudulent charges removed. Such a hassle for what was supposed to just be a little treat. I wasn't going to leave a bad review, but after I saw that they modified my order to add a bunch of bogus fees I felt I had to do this to let people know that they are literally scamming people. read more

Your neighborhood bagel and sandwich spot. Nothing too special but not bad either. I got the breakfast sandwich which was actually pretty greasy which is standard for places like that. read more

Best bagels I've ever had in my life. The egg, bacon, and cheese is amazing. Also has a nice view of Main Street.

I came in this morning and ordered a bacon egg and cheese with avocado on a roll and a medium iced coffee. Not only was it way overpriced (over $10 for these 2 things), but it took an excessive amount of time despite the place basically being empty. When it finally came, my sandwich was incredibly disappointing. There was barely a single egg on it, and the avocado was in one giant mass. I would be more understanding if they were extremely busy, but it was 7:30 am and there were barely any other people in there. It was ridiculous, and I will not be going back. read more

I'm originally from NJ and living in Texas for 20 years. We were in Newark for orientation at UD. Haven't had a good bagel since I left jersey (don't even ask about pizza!) and this place made me happy! Real bagels finally!! I have a bacon egg and cheese on everything and it was perfect. (Picture is the egg bacon and cheese on plain). Bagel was crispy outside chewy inside and the toppings were a good balance of onion and salt and sesame seeds (often it's all salt). Just perfect and it made me happy! So glad my kid will get to eat here for the next 4 years read more

One of those few times where I disagree with my fellow yelpers. Ordered the whole wheat everything bagel, toasted with jalapeño cream cheese with cucumbers & tomatoes and a side of hash browns. Subpar to say the least. Bagel wasn't toasted and my cream cheese was bland! No spice and jalapeños were barely present. The hash browns can beat it. Greasy and way too oily, just like the ones served at McD's. We also had the egg/cheese/tomato melt on an everything bagel. Bagel wasn't toasted making for sad cheese who struggled to even melt. Appearance of the restaurant wasn't too inviting. Trash cans overflowing and most tables needed to be cleaned. read more

Newark Deli & Bagels - Looks can be deceiving. Unimpressive. - Delis Near Me - Newark, Delaware

There are way better bagel options on Main Street. NDB may appeal to the self conscious college girl crowd, but for people who care about their food, time, and money, this place offers very little. The service, as many other reviewers have pointed out, is slow and imprecise. It's not uncommon for simple breakfast sandwiches to take fifteen minutes or more to prepare (Hot Bagels is consistently faster). Orders go missing and frustration can ensue. Today, after putting another 18 minutes on my meter, I still came close to running out of time as I waited on two bacon, egg and cheese sandwiches. The food itself lets me down as well. In the past, I've often found the bacon too oily and salty, almost to the point of being inedible. Today, my bagel was so stale that I could hardly bite through it. Perhaps, indeed, I am entitled and spoiled, expecting fast and professional service at the establishments I visit. Shame on me for my expectations. And shame on NDB for everything else. read more

COVID measures include plexiglass sheeting at shoulder to over the head level, and markings for social distancing. A little hard to hear & be heard through the masks & sheeting, but, what can we do? The lox & cream cheese bagel didn't disappoint, and I didn't wait long. Good food, good service. The one thing that surprised me was it was wrapped & placed in a styrofoam container. Styrofoam, really? (Had I been asked, I'd have just taken the bagel in the paper wrap, and skipped the container & the pickle. ) read more

Stopped by around noon (low traffic, so that was a plus). Food took a little while to come out (solid 15 min). We wiped down our own table and chairs to sit and eat-in. Boyfriend got a breakfast wrap ($10), gave it a 8/10. I got an egg cheese sausage on a whole wheat everything bagel ($5), would give it 6/10. The bagel sandwich was good but it wasn't anything mind-blowing or memorable IMO. Bagel was kind of salty to me. Not sure of the hype but food was just good. We got a side of fries ($4), pretty generous amount. Will be back again but maybe to try the other things on the menu! Thanks! read more

So how does an order made online get messed up so badly. My son placed this order yesterday. Only had limited time to pick it up as you were closing at 1 pm. Didn't check the order until he got home as part of it was for me. What a surprise to find 2 containers of cream cheese instead of Low Fat Chicken Salad, which I might add was paid for up front. Couldn't come back as you were closed already. Any comments or advice about what could be done to make this right?? read more

Newark Deli & Bagels - Delis Near Me - Newark, Delaware

Ordered 3 bagels and 3 iced coffees over the phone. When I got there staff handed me a bag with 3 cups and pointed to the corner "coffee is over there" and then ran in the back. No labels on anything and no one in sight to ask for help, had to wait for someone to come back out. I don't work here! Should have asked for half off since I had to make half the order myself. Also when I got home I realized they forgot to toast the bagels. Should have known cuz bagel place was empty on a Sunday morning. 2 stars because food tasted good even though it was made wrong. read more

Some of my best moments of college revolve around this place. There was NOTHING BETTER than waking up at noon on a Sunday after the most intense weekend ever and dragging yourself off to a little bit of hangover heaven, a.k.a. Newark Deli & Bagels. The food here is on par with any well-respected, authentic deli you'll find in NYC. We're talking perfectly made bagels, crispy and smooth on the outside, soft and chewy on the outside... Some of the best schmear around... Amazing salads and sandwiches.... You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and almost every item is under 5 or 6 bucks!! Yes, it's popular, and yes, the line is sometimes almost out the door, but they'll almost always get you in & out in under 5 or 10 minutes. I've been out of college & the DE area for a while now, and I *still* get fierce cravings for their salt bagels with egg and cheese. Nothing else has filled their place in my heart. GO HERE... Although if you're in Newark, DE, you probably already have :) I'd give it a thousand stars if I could! read more

Having just started working in the Newark area, a good, cheap , and fast lunch is my current Holy Grail. I also have a brand new criteria, on which to base my selection and thats free wi-fi. A month ago, I had seen the term Wi-Fi and didnt know or care what it meant. I recently purchased an Ipod touch and it has become my new obsession. Since its not the Iphone, Im reliant on Wi-Fi to get online. I noticed Newark Bagel and Deli, on Main St on one of my Dunkin coffee runs. I was in the mood for a Reuben so I decided to give it a try. I didnt even notice that anything said "Free Wi-Fi" but like a mental patient, Ive been checking everytime I walk into a new place. There were the sweet sweet wi-fi bars looking up at me from my Itouch saying, "surf away, loser!" I guess its not surprising that many places around here offer Wi-Fi. Its smack dab in the middle of the University of Deleware. Many places I go to there , I often find a student or proffesor on their laptop. NBD most likely gets crowded, but it was spring break so I walked right up to the counter and ordered. Like I said, I was in the mood for a Reuben, and they had it on the menu, which was quite extensive for a Bagel place. I think it even has Manhattan beat. Heres where the stars start to fall. When I ordered the Reuben, ,the kid at the counter looked at me funny. "He has to have heard of this!" , I thought Turns out I was supposed to signify if I wanted a Corned Beef Reuben or a Pastrami Reuben. I didnt realize there were such options when it comes to Reubens. Then he asked if I wanted sauerkraut on it! Isnt that what a Reuben is???!!! Maybe they are used to dumb college kids who have to custom order every sammy. Oh well, I sat to wait for my order, not minding the wait because I had my linked up Itouch. Just a quick note for the Thread Dwellers. This was the day on Yelp when Lemon Parties were being discussed. God forbid anyone looked over my shoulder that day and saw that horrifying picture. Thanks Steve! I ordered my Reuben to-go , in case I had to run. Big mistake. They handed me my box and I looked in before I left. Once again, its clear they dont understand the Reuben (or sandwiches in general) They slapped down the 2 sides of the Reuben , open faced (swiss and 100 island pointed up.) then they threw a ton of fries on top, so that I couldnt even see the sandwich. Picking them off didnt work as they were fused to the cheese and dressing. I realized I would have to eat this here because it was an absolute mess. I had to eat through most of the fries (really thin and bland) just to close the sandwich up. Oh yeah, they put the sauerkraut on the side...cold. When I finally got it looking somewhat like a Reuben, it was pretty darn good. But the trouble I had with it almost wasnt worth it. I was definitely late getting back to work. The Reuben and fries, without a drink, came to around $7. A little steep for me, but I will be back for the occasional treat or when I need to use the Wi-Fi. Im hoping it was an isolated incident, because a good deli for lunch is a great option. Im still looking for my Holy Grail in Newark. A place with great , fast ,food, free Wi-Fi and people who know what they are doing. A place thats not too crowded so I can make ny 1/2 hour luch break work. Am I a fool to expect such things? Maybe not, but we can all agree that Im a fool regardless. read more

No exaggeration, I have been to this place upwards of 400 times. Working right next door almost my entire 5 years of college (and constantly being tempted by the smell of bacon) certainly didn't help. There is no breakfast sandwich in the world better than sausage, egg whites, and pepper jack cheese on one of their whole wheat everything bagels. The chicken salad is also awesome. I'd suggest getting the regular chicken salad sandwich, the club sandwich is overpowered with thousand island dressing and way too much bacon. I love this place so much that it often required me to hold back my hatred for greek life - mainly loud, awful sorority girls ordering scooped out bagels and douchebags in flourescent tshirts talking about the previous night's frat mixer - in order to satisfy my hungover breakfast sandwich cravings on the weekend. If you try and go here anytime between 9-11am, call your order in and be prepared to wait - as the line is almost always out the door. If you go in at an off peak time, you can get your order in less than 5 minutes. Out of all the places in Newark that I miss since moving, this is definitely at the very top of my list. I've yet to find a bagel shop in Philadelphia that comes remotely close. read more

Sorry I've been away so long Yelp. All I will say is, to the owner of that sorry-a$$ cigarette market on 7th and Jefferson- screw you. When you're running a promotion on something, you can't not accept credit cards when the actual price is in the accepted range. Your store smells like a$$ and I've told all my friends on Jefferson to get their cigs from the liquor store on Washington. I expect you to be evicted within the month. As for NDB, this place is a staple of Main Street. My real favorite item would be the chicken salad sandwich on an everything bagel, but the low-fat chicken salad sandwich isn't bad either. They get their meat from Thurman's, the same place Primo's Hoagies does. It's a pretty good breakfast place, but closes at 3 most days, so you got to get there early. read more

Sorry but totes mediocre. I don't know what all the fuss is about. I went with a egg/cheese/tom breakfast Sammie on whole wheat everything. It was okay but not great. Eggs were fine, cheese was plentiful if not over the top. But They didn't even toast the bagel ... I didn't think I needed to express that desire-- for a warm breakfast bagel Sammie .... Isn't toasting like, a no brainer? At least ask, amiright? Anyway my dining pArtner went with same bagel but jalapeño cream cheese and a couple veggies. Same deal with hers, not toasted. Bagel was fine. CC was mad weak in the jalepeno dept. hash browns also ordered... Don't waste your time. Frozen crappy ones. I had a coffee and went I went to fill the cup, 4 of 5 coffee things were EMPTY. trash bins in store also overflowing and rather gross. I won't bother going back. read more

Disgruntled employees, very crowded, forgot about my order, and finally wrong sandwich. 20 minutes after my order of a egg, cheese, and bacon sandwich on a jalapeño bagel, I asked where my order was. They seemed annoyed that I asked. When they finally looked into it, and realised they forgot my order, they made me another. after walking outside and unwrapping my sandwich noticed that my sandwich didn't have the right bagel. after what I had been though, I didn't have any more time to mess around so I just left. read more

A can't-miss in Newark. Best bagels in town, and believe me, I've tried them all! My UD alumni friends and I DO NOT miss an opportunity to have a bagel breakfast sandwich from this place whenever we are in town. Serious wow factor. This morning I had an egg bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, and it was sooooo good. The bagel had that perfectly toasted outter shell and the inner bread was soft with just the right amount of chew. The content of the sandwich was cooked to perfection, and they don't short change their customers on anything. I like that they offer a variety of other foods, too. Though I've never had them, I have heard that the cheese fries are fantastic! You need to go to this place with some patience, though, because it can become very crowded, especially in the morning. I often visit for lunch or a very early dinner (they close early). I've waited as long as 5 minutes in line and 10 minutes for my bagel sandwich. Also, the people who work there are nooooo nonsense. I've never had a customer service issue, but they aren't going to take your nonsense, either. read more

Best breakfast bagel in town in my opinion. I usually go B E C on an everything bagel toasted. And when I'm feeling extra fat, I have them put a hash brown on the sandwich. Ohh ohh ohhhhhhhh. Call ahead. It's usually very busy. read more

This was a good bagel place. The store was PACKED, and the menu offers a large variety of lunch and snack options. We just got bagels and cream cheese, and it was tasty.
