Plaza bagels, formally Punk Rock bagels is fantastic. Even when there's a line, it moves quickly. You can see them making bagels all day right in house. They have mini bagels, flat bagels, and all the fun flavors. Tons of different cream cheese to choose from. They give a good amount without it feeling like a huge glob block. All the staff is nice. Old metal heads. Cool to see old music memorabilia on the walls.. someone must be from New Orleans too because there's a lot of saints and New Orleans stuff. (Hard to find those Zapp chips up here) Cash or card. Parking lot. Full grill. More than you asked for. read more

Plaza Bagels makes some of the best bagels around. And that's saying something considering all of the fantastic bagel spots in North Jersey. I'm a big everything bagel guy (and either with BEC or with just plain untoasted with butter). They always have some fun variations on the typical everything bagel. Love when they have the Asiago Everything available - what a treat! Tons of cheese melted on top and it just goes really well with whatever you pair it with. Been going here now and then for years. Not always the easiest spot to get parking (the lot can fill up for sure) and sometimes there's a wait, but the bagels are always super fresh and delicious. Highly recommended if you're in the Clifton area or coming through and need a bite. Just realize there are no tables or anything, so you may have to bring home or eat in your car! read more

Enjoyed an everything egg bagel which was freshly made and thick! I really appreciate how the eggs are freshly made and folded onto your bagel, paired this with some bacon and couldnt go wrong. Tons of bagels to pick from and the service was fast. This shop has tons of drinks and options to pick from, but no seating! read more

Great place to get bagels and other food items from. It's been a staple in the Clifton community for a long time. The service is fast and efficient. This place cranks out bagels left and right. I picked up six bagels and their western omelette with home style fries and rye bread. The food hit the spot. read more

Plaza Bagels & Deli - Western omelette. Home style fries. Rye bread. - Delis Near Me - Clifton, New Jersey

Yello Yelpers. This established establishment is an impressive operation of which impressed me. I hope you're reading this somewhere comfortable. The toilet possibly? How did he know? Oh no, you're out of TP. Your hands will be just fine. But finish the review before you get your hands browned. Greened? Too far. I puddled my way into the plaza parking lot on my parade around the paradoxical Clifton streets. My pet mule Paco would've hated it here. He needs his open land. Good Paco. Spots were hard to come by, in fact, they were non-existent. The first of many good signs. Sign 2, the rush to spots as happy customers waddled their way out of the warmth of bagel land back into the January cold. 2026. Brrrr. I, a very non-cutthroat savage, savagely cut-off a granny for a spot. In the wild, only those who can find peace in chaos THRIVE. We cannot live to just survive. LOD - Linguini Quote of the Day. Stay with me now. Awooooooo. Oh no, a full moon nears. But not yet. Not today. Anyways, Some punk purposefully torpedoed his jeep into a snow bank. Half vehicle over the hump, other two tires on the gravel. Scraped the bottom of his vehicle just to get in line for these bagels. The verdict was already in and the verdict man hadn't even entered the building. Like a club, you had to step in line and seduce the bouncer to be allowed into the party. No problem for me, of course, I was figuratively spanked through the front door and into line as others waited their turn in the cold. My order was large, and in charge, but the variety could've been better from me and my folks. The look of their bagels were handsome. Kind of luscious. With the heat in this place getting to me, mixed with the sights and sounds, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit aroused. A spunky cinnamon raisin winked at me, but I don't understand flirtation and unfortunately missed out on the suggestiveness of the approach. I stook to a brekky sandy. The bagel was fresh, warm, soft. The egg was plenty. The protein was plenty. The cheeeeese was melting over itself, into my percolating and perky lap. I left it there, as a badge of honor. It disappeared later, oh how? You ask? Don't ask questions of which you know the answer, you dust ball you. I heard the omelette also hit the spot. They had Coffee, Bagel and Cream Cheese of the month. All the varieties of bagels were likely scrumptious individuals. It takes one to know one ayeeee nowwww. Plaza Bagels & Deli, a hidden gem blending into the crowded, coagulated corridors of Clifton. read more

Food is regular. Service by the guy that seems to have been the one making decisions was a ZERO. He was extremely dismissive and definitely not there to serve the community. All about himself and making a dollar. There's plenty other bagel spots in the area that don't make you wait online and treat their workers and customers with much more dignity. read more

My friend told me this was one of the best bagels they'd ever had and I had to see if it lived up to the hype. As soon as I pulled up there was a line to even get inside...I knew I was in the right place. The employees knew the customers by name and it was an awesome vibe. I was greeted with a smile as I walked in and all of the bagels looked amazing. We got a plain bagel with scallion cream cheese and a cookie and cream bagel with cream cheese. Both of the bagels were phenomenal and you could really taste the difference in quality between this bagel and others I've had. This tasted like it was placed into an oven by little angels. Plaza bagels lives up to the hype and you should definitely stop by and try them out! read more

Best bagels and sandwiches in the world!! Taylor ham egg and cheese on an everything bagel ilasts all day!

Favorite bagel in Jersey and my husband's absolute favorite. My favorite is the raisin walnut spread !

Garbage. Trash. Basura. Everything the food the drinks the service. I ordered a coffee and got a cup of sugar instead. Disgusting.

PROS: the food was amazing and the owner with the beard was super nice. The staff was great and I even like their pop culture window. Tons of parking as well CONS: they take a while to make simple orders and their prices are a little high. It's also cramped inside which prevents tables from being in there. OVERALL: I would come back here once in a while, but not if there's a large crowd read more

10/10 no notes. This place has the best bagels ever ever ever. I got a poppyseed toasted with butter and a plain bagel with half chicken salad half egg salad. Everything could use a little bit of salt, but the bagel themselves are so light and fluffy yet doughy and tasty. Everyone inside is working hard and so friendly. It's a small place but they keep popping out bagels even at noon so everything is so fresh. I will definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend this place. read more

Yeah this is the first and the last time I'm coming here! Came here to get a quick bacon egg n cheese and a coffee and came out with a $11.08 bill!! how u gonna charge $6.40 for a bacon n egg and then upcharge $0.75 just for a damn slice of cheese?! OVERPRICED! I can get a cheaper one and a better one by just going into NYC! On top of that the dang roll was so big compared to what they put in it there was nearly 1/3 of the roll that basically had nothing on it. So by the time I ate it there was literally almost 1/4 of the roll I had to throw out because there was nothing of the egg n cheese on there. Let's not talk about the bacon and the fact that it tasted BEYOND NASTY. Like I've had subpar bacon at times getting BEC sandwiches but this was on a whole different level of nasty. The deli itself looks like what you'd expect. The staff that took my order was very kind. I will admit I was intrigued by their flagel- haven't seen one that large being sold. I'd stay away from their sandwiches -- especially if you get it on their "roll" that was a whole dang large square. read more

Plaza Bagels has the most delicious bagels in town! Always fresh, perfectly chewy, and full of flavor. Hands down the best bagel spot around. read more

Plaza Bagels and deli is a busy spot. When you walk-in, it's narrow and small. Hold your spot in line because folks will walk right up to order instead of waiting in line. The smell of bagels is euphoric so the aroma therapy kept me relaxed. I ordered two dozen bagels at $32.40. No free bagels tossed in, but that's okay. Be quick with your order because a short line really fills up the store. The bagels you see is the bagels they have until it gets filled hot out of the oven. The bagels are soft with that good crust. Flavors and seasonings are generous. I didn't get any made sandwiches but others were ordering them. Staff are so patient and helpful. A fresh pot of coffee was offered to a customer who wanted a few cups to go. Again, so great of the team. read more

The best bagels . My favorite is the everything and the Asiago cheese. I think these bagels are the best in the Clifton area.

The best bagels in the area and they have vegan cream cheese! My go to place for bagels

Bagels are just okay. I like the outside loaded with "stuff". The onion, garlic and sesame ones had only a little bit on the outside.

Huge garbage container in front of the store that I could actually smell. The lady who takes orders-uses same gloves to write orders, take money and touch your food. Hmmm. Never again. read more

Wow as far as breakfast spots go, I can safely say I am super picky! But this place was recommended to me by a good foodie && they were NOT wrong! I got a bec on a roll, spk obviously and just wow it was so delicious and had the perfect ratio of everything. I also got a plain bagel with butter and even that was amazing, hand rolled for sure. I definitely will be back. read more

Without a doubt, some of the best bagels in NJ (if not the actual best). I came across Plaza/ Punk Rock bagels after reading a Reddit thread about where to grab the best bagels and I can't believe I didn't discover this place sooner. Bagels are light and airy and paired with just the most perfect amount of cream cheese. Personal faves are their sesame or cheddar bagels with the veggie cc. Happy to add Plaza to my weekend frequenting list. read more

Giving a 4 because I was looking for a place that has flat bagels. Plaza bagels was the first place to offer to make them since they were out. So that right there, I really appreciate. I've never had the flat bagels from here and was really excited for them. I should have looked in the bag before leaving, because once I left, I looked and they are more like crackers- and one of them was so crispy that it was actually cracked! I'm curious- is this what they are supposed to look like from this place?? read more

Small, hole-in-the-wall joint that has a good selection of bagels. I would've given it a 5, had the staff been a bit friendlier, but what can you expect in Jersey? All jokes aside, the food was great. I got a sausage, egg, green pepper and onion breakfast sandwich on an Asiago cheese bagel. Super filling! Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture because I scarfed it down too fast. read more

I entered this restaurant and I was awkwardly stared at. Just coming from work, my order was taken however as I waited for my order to be finished -- the same waitress who took my order went behind the counter to where my food was being made and sneezed onto the food. When I saw that, the chef looked at me and laughed and because I was so disgusted, I left WITHOUT my food. read more

Definitely will be ordering from here again. read more
