O'Bagel precedes itself. I felt the necessity to hit one of the franchises in their growing empire to get a sense of the hype. And in doing so - I was stunned to see the poor reviews on this Basking Ridge spot. After my go about - I have to admit, I'm still a bit bewildered. You folks are strange. So much to learn and not so much time. Take the knowledge you can from me whilst I'm still here. I was in the area scouting Morocco's training sessions - amongst other things... busy guy. Somewhat strong, somewhat not. Subpar successful. Borderline handsome. Leaning ugly, but it's a thin border and it depends on the day. It doesn't depend on the day, but let me live. Anyways... I was extremely excited upon finding that there were not 1 but 2 locations near the fields of which I was partitioning. And so ventured to this growing venture I did. I rammed head first into the glass door; however, I was best to the punch by a lovely family. I pummeled them to the ground. Somebody copped a feel but I acted like I didn't notice. Life of a Lobstah. Anyways I back-spring off the floor into a split lunge up into a squat and out into a Mr. Clean crossover stance, finalize it all with the MJ shrug. Don't believe it if you must - But you need to start exercising trust. You know what I'm talking about. Your therapist(s) say the same. Anyways... the menu is intimidating so I decided to keep it somewhat simple, I guess. Chicken - Bacon - Egg and Cheese on a sesame bagel. Marvelous. More places should do it, but not every runner is a sprinter. The cutlet was more of a juicy tender which surprised me but also made me very happy. The O'Bagel sauce was creamy, great texture and really subtle but noticeable strength in flavor. The bagel was also solid size, good crunch and nice softness. It was all very good. But, I think it's still moving towards greatness. Truth be told - I need to try more of their beautifully crafted and thoughtful creations. If I were in the area, I'd go here a good amount. This is a case where something unfortunately didn't over succeed on the hype but did probably meet the hype. I left happy - content - with no traces of tears (at least because of them... tears for other reasons? Maybe.... I found out my new pet pink panther is not actually pink. Nor is it a panther. I've already said too much...) I respect the grind, and I firmly believe that the potential of this chain is greater than 5 out of 5. I think they are scratching the surface of the moon. Itching a crater, planting a flag, pushing against gravity. Im thinkin collabs. I'm thinkin more sandwiches. More meals. More pastries. I'm thinking that I'll be following along closely from a far, from time to time, here and there, on occasion... but on occasion nonetheless. To lead, one must learn to follow. I said what I said and I mean what I meant. O'Baby, O'Bonotucci, O'Bagel I wish you previously unbeknownst success in your space - And I recommend others attempt this spot! read more

O'bagel - Delis Near Me - Basking Ridge, New Jersey

I don't understand why the reviews are so bad here! O'bagel has always had the best bagels on the east coast. Better than the bagels I had in manhattan the day before. Perfectly chewy, not too dense, a nice crispy exterior. I recommend them to everyone. read more

OH-NO, O'BAGEL!!!! I went in this week and they raised their in-store bagel price to $1.95 from $1.50, a 30% increase in one day!!!! And their on-line price went up 50% to $2.25!!!! For what is essentially this little tiny piece of dough! It's truly unbelievable. Bagels-4-u is $1.60, Bagel Chateau is $1.40, and Babba's Bagels are $1.30. Why is O'Bagel such scum, ripping off the hard-working public. We need to fight this corporate greed (they are a multi-store chain), band-together, and not shop there!! O'Bagel should be ashamed. My salary hasn't gone up 30% over the last 20 Years, much less one day as at O'RipOff!! Don't go there!! The bagels are nothing great, just to add further insult. STAY AWAY! read more

The bagels are lighter, which I like. I love smoked salmon but it's cut unevenly with some pieces thick, some thin. What disturbs me is that the two larger women who make the sandwiches, and cut the salmon STILL ONLY WEAR ONE GLOVE and touch counters/meats and their faces! One lady was eating in the back WHILE CUTTING THE SALMON! I did file a complaint w the town as that is gross. No changes. Still the two women touch everything with a non gloved hand. I rinse the salmon now and the bagels are picked up w paper vs hands. read more

They use to have the best bagels(closest to a nyc bagel) in NJ until recently. It's seems they have changed their recipe and their bagels are now smaller and less dense. Try Gabe's in Chatham if you looking for an authentic nyc bagel. You will thank me. read more

I got a French toast bagel with ham, egg, and cheese -- honestly, the best bagel I've ever had. The French toast bagel tasted like fried dough with cinnamon sugar, and it was absolutely delicious. I'd definitely drive a pretty far distance to get this bagel again! read more

I'm really torn about how to rate O'Bagel. I think it's around the 4.5 area. Texturally, this is an INCREDIBLE bagel -- perfect crunch on the outside without being messy or burnt, while wonderfully doughy on the inside. Everything I, personally, look for in an ideal bagel. What I didn't like is the amount of cream cheese they give you (I'm sorry, this is Jersey -- it should have twice that amount on there, more than looks reasonable) as well as the cost (a small coffee, a bagel with cream cheese, and a totally plain everything bagel was $10), hence the less-than-five-star rating. But I am a customer for life, for sure. It's just that I'll take my bagels home and put cream cheese on them myself. read more

O'bagel - Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese - Delis Near Me - Basking Ridge, New Jersey

I recently tried O'Bagel for the first time. I ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese. I must say it was delicious. Their bagel tastes great. Lots of seeds on their everything bagel, which I love. They give a fair amount of cream cheese as well. This bagel was delicious. Cream cheese tasted great. Bagel tasted great. I will definitely be coming back to try some more of their bagels. read more

I used to go a lot so today was my first day there in a while . I get the same thing all the time. Egg bagel lighted toasted with butter on both sides. Bagel tasted burnt and was gooey. Very disappointing. I was unable to bring back because I was headed to work. read more

I recently purchased bagels for school and found them to be quite good. While the bagels are now less dense, which I prefer, the service was somewhat slow and the staff appeared disengaged. Ambiance is like any bagel store, nothing special. In and out for most customers but a few tables if you would like to eat in. read more

I normally go to bagels-for-u in Warren, but occassionally stop here since it's a little closer to me, and it's by my favorite dunkin. But after my last interaction with the snobby older lady behind the counter I think I'll opt for better service at my familiar spot. I always order the same thing.. a toasted everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese.. salt, pepper, ketchup. And I always leave a tip. However they've given me taylor ham instead of bacon the last three times I've ordered. If I liked taylor ham it wouldn't be a big deal, but I don't.. and since I'm already home by the time I open it, I just eat what I can, and toss the rest. Total waste. However the last time this happened, I decided to go back. I understand mistakes happen.. but three times in a row? I let the guy know behind the counter that I had gotten taylor ham instead of the bacon I ordered, and that it was the third time it's happened.. and if I liked taylor ham, I wouldn't have cared.. and that I just wanted the bacon added. He let the older hispanic lady know (who had made my sandwich).. she gave me a long nasty look, grabbed the sandwich from him, and went over to the register to check and see if I had actually ordered bacon. I did (the guy told me). She gave me another nasty look, didn't say a word, and walked away with the sandwich. She stood behind the bagel display, staring at the sandwich.. I guess debating on what to do? She looked up and saw me looking at her, and threw the bagel away. She went on to make a new one, and instead of handing it to me, she got another lady from the back to come out and hand it to me. I didn't so much as get a sorry. The whole experience was uncalled for, and she desperately needs an attitude adjustment. If the manager was there I'm sure she wouldn't have acted like that. I debated on leaving this review, because the manager is a very nice guy, and I know he would've handled the situation much better. However, I know she's been there for awhile.. I just know I'm not the only one she's been this way to. read more

Such a rip off! The bagels are decent, fresh and small. However, if want to a get bagel ($1.50) with cream cheese, it's literally $3.00 additional just for two swipes of cream cheese. That's ridiculous to triple the price at that point. I ordered two of these and at the end, caught the price. It was $9.00 for these two small bagels/CC and the math just blew my mind. This isn't NYC pricing/quality. read more

Recently remodeled and changed the bagel recipes. Both abject failures. Confusion reigns as all signage has disappeared and people just mull around trying to figure where to order while the staff ignore them for the most part. I would endure this if the bagels were good, but they are now worse than Dunkin' Donuts which is in the same complex. What was once a great everything bagel has turned into a nothing bagel. Not sure if this holds true for the other O'Bagel locations, but I will not be going to the Dewy Meadows location anytime soon. read more

The bagels are delicious. Excellent quality. They know how to make a real bagel. When giving an order, be patient, you may need to repeat it once or twice. Staff is very hard working and try their best. a great go to spot. read more

Disorganized chaos. When you walk in there's no sign for who ordered, who's waiting. People are just looking at each other all confused. Also the guy cooking has long hair which is not tied back and the other one has his mask under his nose. Why even bother wearing it then? Everyone was very nice though and prices were good. Just some room for improvement. read more

Bagels are 50% more expensive(don't tell me inflation is only 9%) and they are 25% smaller. They're good is ok, don't get a cold cut sandwich as they may have cut the meat 3 days earlier and are way too expensive. And in Hoboken, go about 200 feet away to Hoboken bagels where they actually boil theirs. This place sprays water on the bagels.... Half ass and too expensive, go somewhere else read more

Great food! Customer service is bad! Workers AREN'T friendly ( not even a smile on anybody's face)!!!!!!

SO disappointing... Went in today and the little Spanish dude was so RUDE to me and yet I could hear how friendly and chatty he was to the other customers. Very uncomfortable experience. Look for another bagel place. read more

I miss you and I love you. I'm in Texas right now and I paid $22 for 3 bagels and a coffee at Einstein's lol. the most pathetic BEC on everything bagel... $7. asked for ketchup, said they'd put it on the side... they didn't smh. Anyway, first stop the following morning back in the dirty is guaranteed to be at Obagel. Taylor ham 4 lyfe. I love and miss you. Thanks. read more

Taylor ham, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel from o'bagel CANNOT BE BEAT. I grew up on O'bagel bagels and didn't realize how truly amazing they were until I moved out of state, and realized that no other bagels compare. They are perfectly fluffy on the inside and chewy on the outside. A mandatory meal anytime I'm in town visiting. read more

O'bagel - Delis Near Me - Basking Ridge, New Jersey

With each passing year I get increasingly irritable. Sometimes it's justified. Other times, it's just me being a crank. There is one thing that irritates me no end. Getting my order wrong. Let's face it. Toasted onion with butter isn't a complicated order. If I wanted a garlic bagel, I would have asked for it. Must I check at check out to see if the right bagel was selected from the bin? Ten miles down the road, the bag was opened and the bad news hit me. I hate garlic bagels. And by the way, they don't like me either. At least the coffee was good. The folks at O Bagel in Stirling don't get my order wrong. I'll go there next time. read more

Today was our second time getting breakfast here. It was our last as well. Both times, my husband got a bagel with cream cheese. His complaint both times was that the bagel was hard/stale. Last time, I got pork roll, egg, and cheese on a roll with ketchup. If I thought they couldn't be any more stingy with the sandwich fillings, I was proven wrong today. Today, I got just egg and cheese with ketchup on a roll. Or, rather, that's what I ordered; what I got on my roll was just ketchup and egg, in that order. Honestly, the egg was so thin, I felt like I was eating a ketchup sandwich. After two bites, I threw it away. We're not far from NYC; there are definitely better bagel places around here. read more

This place can be hit or miss at times. Often I've been blown away and at other times my order has been completely wrong or the food has been enghh. It's local though and mostly decent so I come here often when I have a bagel craving. There are three O'bagel locations in the area but this one is probably the closest for my fiance and I. All of them have very limited seating but this one is slightly larger. If you prefer eating-in at your bagel joints then you will be surely disappointed in the amount of seating space they have. The other two locations are smaller than this one however so this O'bagel is probably your best bet. Also, this place tends to be a favorite hang out for all the local kids on the weekends and gets very crowded. It will feel like a high school cafeteria come late Saturday-Sunday morning. Be prepared to feel old. FYI-They accept credit cards but state a 10 dollar minimum at the register. read more

O'bagel - Taylor ham, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. One half was a little lopsided which was my fault. - Delis Near Me - Basking Ridge, New Jersey

The menu and order quality is stellar but the customer service and management process are not great. I'm often waiting a long time for hot food orders, and the checkout process is a disorganized free-for-all. We've been regulars for years and yet no one recognizes us, remembers our repeat order, or even says hello at the door. My wife and I decided it's time to take our morning business somewhere else. read more

Decent bagels but horrible service. Petite Spanish front man has a bad attitude and the phone orders are almost always wrong.

Yo this was so trash bro I spent 50 bucks on your food the guy who made my tuna bagel must of spread it with a tooth pick because there was no tuna on it at all I'm so tight right now ima smoke a fat joint and go to good old dunkin if I could leave a negative 5 star I would never ever ever wver again will I go here. Ps I'm not the type to complain but holy f**k you guys got me so tight read more

Like their other location in river walk, they have terrible customer service. I called in an order and didn't even get looked at when I went to pick it up. 3 other customers walked out before even ordering while I was waiting in line for my food. I've been getting from obagel since I was a kid but now it's time to find a different place. read more

Their Taylor-Ham-Egg and Cheese on an Everything Bagel is FANTASTIC! I sincerely think that it is one of the best breakfast meals I have ever had. The bagel is the best mix of crust and softness while everything else is cooked to perfection. This is undoubtedly one of the best breakfast spots in the area, I highly recommend it. read more

Fresh and delicious bagels. Fast, friendly and efficient service and staff. I will definitely visit again.

I honestly would give this place 0 stars if I could. I went a few months ago, and the worker handed me scalding hot coffee without the lid on correctly, and it spilled all over me and my car, but I let it go because it was an honest mistake. Then today, I called in a bagel order for two bagels, and they said it would be ready in 10 minutes, so I showed up, and the order still wasn't ready, but I waited. Then five or six people came in after I ordered and received their bagels before me. I was waiting for half an hour at least, and when I finally said something, the owner started making excuses about how one of her employees messed up the order. She saw me standing there for half an hour and not once notified me that the order needed to be re-done--horrible customer service for subpar bagels. Highly recommend not wasting your time at this establishment. read more

O'bagel - Delis Near Me - Basking Ridge, New Jersey

Overly priced and underwhelming. They close the grill about an hour or two before they actually close. pretty infuriating.

What a pleasant surprise. This little shop located in the apartment complex shopping mall and doing it well. You can get your coffee, breakfast sandwich and of course PHILLY CHEESE STEAK. I was lucky enough to beat the lunch traffic by getting there just a bit early. I did NOT think that the service was bad at all. The guy seemed like he might have an ESL (english as an second language) problem but that's just cultural difference which is acceptable for me. Enjoy! read more
