So far the best bagel in town. It's fresh and moist, and if you'd like it to be toasted, it would be crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. My toasted bagel was not burnt and the edges - perfectly done. The owner was very attentive to each customer - he constantly asks if anything else he could do better, and he proactively offers more napkins when he sees dine-in customers missing napkins on their tables, and offer extra plate when he sees his patrons sharing orders, ... I can tell he is seriously care about his business. The coffee was okay, but if you like more fruit acids to your coffee you may like it more than I did. Decent number of seatings in the store, about 15 seats, including window benches. The store is neighbors' favorite. read more

Pop's bagel shop is wonderful. They have lots of options and they have very good everything bagels and coffee. The coffee comes in some interesting flavors as well, recently featuring a chocolate dessert coffee and a maple coffee. The lox cream cheese is pretty good and they have multiple cream cheese flavors. The people are nice and gets very busy. read more

Driven by here many times and decided to check it out. The location is on a fork of the road and the parking lot is a little tricky, especially when its full. Walked in and its set-up like most Delis, large counter with a few tables and chairs for it's sitting area. Coffee self-serve counter and a bakery display case. The staff was friendly, however the service wasn't fast and when they served the sandwich they just placed it on an empty table -vs- keeping it at the counter for me to pickup. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and coffee. The BEC on kaiser roll...all I could say was that I was not impressed. Made with shrink-flation...think the ketchup was the most applied condiment. Might give it one more try and go in there a little earlier. Because it was lunchtime, maybe wasn't expecting any more breakfast orders. read more

We noticed a lot of people coming in and out, so we decided to try their bagels, and it was the best decision we could have made. The bagels were fresh and delicious, and the coffee was great too. The servers and staff at the counter were very kind and respectful. The place was clean and organized. If I lived closer to this location, I would definitely have breakfast there every day. read more

Pop's Bagel Shop - Double egg and cheese on a bagel Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wharton, New Jersey

Due to the unfortunate sinkhole repair on I-80 that's been causing massive traffic between exits 30 and 34 by Wharton, NJ area, this place was a little gem we (hubby & I) discovered along the detour route. It has that balance of "soft and pillowy-ness" (is that a word?) and chewiness you expect to have from your first bite of a warm bagel. An unusual bagel flavor I discovered here for the first time was the Jalapeño Cheese bagel, which I think perfectly matches well with their Taylor Ham sandwich. That was always a favorite of mine with a hot cup of their coffee as a quick breakfast option. I've also tried their breakfast platter with pancakes, eggs and even some home fries. Their portions are quite generous I must say. Being that they were along the detour route, a lot of people come by for a quick stop. So their service is impeccably quick yet they still manage to be accurate / efficient. You can even call in your order ahead of time and just come by for a quick pickup and go. The place isn't that big but they do have an area where you can sit and eat your meal. Ambiance is nothing fancy, but clean and practical. Now that the sinkhole construction has almost finished, there was no longer a need for the detour. But it is still one of our favorite pit stops around that area whenever we pass by... read more

Honestly my favorite quick eats breakfast spot. I'm from NY and I thought these New Jersey bagels wouldn't compare but I was dead wrong. Not only are the bagels tasty but the staff is super nice and welcoming. My go to every weekend read more

Pop's Bagel Shop - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wharton, New Jersey

Amazing. I see that folks in Milford, Pa and Mine Hill, NJ reside under rocks. One likes Dunkin' better than Pops? Yum. Microwaved frozen cuisine from a factory. I watch my Pops prepared in front of my eyes from great people. And you know? hot dogs are cheaper than steak. So you saved 2 bucks? Yum again. Currency must tickle your tastebuds. As for timeliness, if you want something near the close of business? There's a neat little invention called a phone. Call earlier next time. You're snubbing Pops for one order. You're the one who'll miss out the next time you want their menu items. I know the family that runs Pops. If they could? They would have taken care of you if possible. The type person you seem? Ouch. Go find a place that enjoys customers-from-hell. read more

Perfect place to stop by to pick up a quick and delicious breakfast! My friends and I were road tripping up North and found this little shop that seems popular with the locals. A lot of people called in advance to pick up their orders but there was still a bit of a line and some items were sold out around 10AM. The staff is super friendly and it seemed like a nice place to work. The bagels are definitely smaller and not as good as the ones in the city, but they are very affordable and still tastes great. They also have delicious waffle fries!! They have such a large menu that it's hard to decide. Definitely a great breakfast spot! read more

Summary: yummy breakfast foods for way less than the nearby diner! If you're in the mood for some breakfast or brunch, go to Pop's! From bagels, breakfast sandwiches and breakfast platters to deli sandwiches, they won't disappoint! There's a small dining area or most people just grab and go. They take credit cards. They have a small parking area. read more

I would say this place is okay. The bagels are a little harder and smaller than some other places in the area, however the French toast bagel is one of the best I've had. Also, I got the red velvet muffin and it was horrible. It looks like they just freeze & rethaw them because it had an awful freezer burn after taste. It was a rustic/orange color and was easily the worst muffin I have ever had. read more

Fantastic bagels. You can tell the bagels are made fresh, they are crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. We will definitely be back. read more

Food 3.0/5 Service 3.5/5 Prices 2/5 Shame how far POP's has strayed. I bought: Ham, egg and cheese on a roll BLT (no additions) Small coffee $16.34 I put in an order at Dunkin' Donuts for: Ham, egg and cheese sandwich Bacon egg and cheese on a croissant (expensive) Small coffee $14.04 Two bucks cheaper to go to a company that penny pinches and nickel and dimes customers. This includes one sandwich having more expensive components at Dunkin'. Portions at Pop's are fine, not ample or impressive. And I'm still saving money going to a chain notorious for upcharging. What happened to this place? read more

The food is always consistently great here and for really reasonable prices. You always are greeted with super friendly vibes and you'll feel you are being personally taken care of. I usually get a bagel sandwich and coffee but I recently tried the Rueben and was blown away. Super juicy and delicious! read more

Reliable Place. Fast service, convenient location and good food. I wish they accepted Amex, but that's okay. read more

You can't make this stuff up. I arrive this morning at 6:30 and the everything bagels were literally being dumped in the bin. I order an everything bagel with butter to go. Five minutes later I open the bag and I retrieve what is literally a flattened cracker. They took the liberty of toasting my bagel when not asked or told to toast my bagel. WHO THE HELL toasts a fresh bagel? Why is it that if you go 15 miles outside of NYC you may as well be in Ames, Iowa? What's next Mayo on the bagel instead of butter? Amateur hour--AVOID! read more

Went to pick up bagels early for my sisters wedding. Gave him the list of the ones we wanted and he pulled them right out of the oven for us! The bagels were still warm when we cut into them getting ready! read more

Pop's Bagel Shop - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Wharton, New Jersey

Place is SLAMMIN. Stumbled across this place yesterday on my way out of town from Manhattan. Hole in the wall type spot. I got an everything bagel toasted with egg, cheese and pastrami. Simple sandwich but everything tasted amazing and fresh! Bagel was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside with everything spices perfect. The pastrami was legit. Thick cut and tender. They clearly have high quality meats and that's huge. Service was Very friendly and inviting. It was quick grab and go but what an awesome find! I may have to go out of my way to stop back by this place. read more

I went to Pops Bagel Shop this morning to grab breakfast. I had such a nice conversation with the owner. It was one of those genuine conversations that make you feel good about everything!

Side note: Big renovations are coming and it's going to be beautiful....and the bagels...go get some. They're so good!!! read more

They gave me a cinnamon raisin bagel with taylor ham, egg, and cheese. We ordered a plain bagel with taylor ham, egg, and cheese. Genuinely who would even want that. 1 star. read more

I went to Pop's with very high expectations, based on Yelp reviews. I'd have to say I was somewhat disappointed. Positives 1. Very friendly staff. I assume the owner was at the register and he was a nice guy. 2. Convenient location. 3. Easy parking 4. Coffee was very good! (Although it was self serve which I'm not a fan of). 5. Price was reasonable. The Problem I just really wasn't crazy about the bagel. Had a bacon, egg, and cheese on onion bagel. The bagel seemed more like a roll (no real hole in middle). It was doughy and kind of sticky. I really wanted to like this place and give it 5 stars. Had to be honest in review though. read more
