    After a donation trip to Goodwill, I decided to treat myself to a breakfast sandwich and saw this place had a lot of great reviews. I can happily join in and say I really enjoyed my sandwich! I ordered a Taylor ham (pork roll), egg and provolone cheese on an onion bagel. I ended up eating the sandwich in two parts because I was so full in the morning from just one half. I feel it was a great value, and I'll absolutely have to come back again!

    Everything bagel with bacon egg and cheese

    What an amazing bagel shop. Service is top tier. Everyone is welcoming and smiling. The bacon egg and cheese was delicious and they were generous with the amount of bacon ! Everything was cooked to perfection. Cute small shop to stop by and get your breakfast and go. No seating that I saw available

    The Taylor Ham,  egg and cheese

    Finally made my way over to River Road Bagels. I've been reading a lot about it online and had a day off and made the drive. First positive....... Parking lot of their own in a busy street. That's HUGE!. I'll admit, I was nervous at first. My sandwich was done and bagged before my wallet was back in my pocket. I'm thinking..... How can this be. So service was also off the hook fast. Now for the goods. EXTREMELY good. Eggs were cooked over medium. So just a slight, slight run to them. Done perfectly. Excellent cheese ratio at the top along with a slightly charred Taylor Ham. 100% well worth the drive. If you're even close to the area, I would recommend this breakfast sandwich all morning and day long.

    If one wants to get their bagel fix, then this is the place located in Fair Lawn. Greeted by the staff, my partner and I arrived today for a small bite at River Road Hot Bagels. Their bagels are daily made on-site and have a lot of options. There's a lot of foot traffic as it is takeout only with no seating indoors. Greeted upon arrival, we decided on a wheat bagel with plain cream cheese and a salt bagel with vegetable cream cheese. The bagels were light, fluffy with a decent crisp, good size, and tasty. The counter staff is fast, courteous, and accurate. Price is comparable to the area. We were first-timers today but won't be our last, as we can recommend this place.

    Really great bagels! A warm soft chewy everything bagel with scallion cheese was what I came in for. You order bagels on the left, and everything from the grill on the right. I heard a man order a Taylor ham egg and cheese, and became curious. The very nice woman helping me said she could make mine a Taylor. I said sure. Only took a couple extra minutes. Paid and took it to go. Once I opened my wrapper, I realized it wasn't a Taylor ham egg and cheese, but only Taylor ham on my scallion cheese smeared everything bagel. It was a little over seven dollars, so I'm not sure what went wrong, but it was good even without the egg and cheese. I guess I'll have to come back and get the real deal next time.

    Perfection.

    Delicious & Delightful. Really words don't explain the full experience. Bagels fresh off the press. staff who smile and are super productive. A solid experience start to finish. Best bacon egg and cheese I've ever had. Bacon was crispy and overall was soooooo good with each bite. Fresh cinnn raisin bagels were next level. Patrons were mix of regular and new and so kind. Beyond impressed. Thank you.

    Generally, I love coming here! This is my favorite bagel spot in Northern Jersey. Ambiance: (4/5) It cramped but it's not really a sit down restaurant, so I don't mind. Price: (4/5) Great price for amazing bagels. Keep in mind there is a extra 4% charge for credit cards. Food: (4/5) Bagels are crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. The bacon egg and cheese is my favorite menu item. Service: (5/5) The line always moves quickly even when there is a rush. In conclusion, I highly recommend this place!

    Everything bagel

    River road hot bagels is my go to bagel shop. I change up what I order everytime and it never disappoints. They are very fast and get you out quick. Whenever I bring someone bagels from here, they rave about how delicious the bagels are.

    Taylor Ham Egg & Cheese

    This location always usually has a long line. The do have a good system where they have the cold sandwiches go to one side and the grill sandwiches to another. Their bagels are average. I do think they are pricey. It was nearly $7 for 1 regular bagel and 1 mini bagel.. both with cream cheese. I understand inflation but that's a bit much!

The cold brew is stand-out, uniquely smooth with a natural hint of sweetness.

I had some serious crackhead energy after this drink LOL. I was ready to run for president, start a YouTube channel, and take over the world!!! All jokes aside, you gotta love coffee that is not only tasty, but STRONG. Catalano Coffee is a small business that does it right. The owner is super passionate and knowledgeable about the industry. They serve locally roasted organic coffee from around the world. This is the place to experiment with different roasts and origins to find the pour of your dreams. Pricing is a bit higher than other cafes, but I'm willing to pay more for high quality beans. I've tried a couple of different drinks and my favorites are the specialty lattes. I recommend the maple and mocha lattes if you want something that is on the sweeter (but not sickeningly sweet) side. The baristas know how to create the right balance of steamed milk and espresso. The espresso is deep and rich. The additional flavors are not overpowering and add the right amount of natural sweetness to the bitter notes. This is a quiet and cozy spot to sip on a drink while getting work done. There's comfortable furniture, free wifi, and outlets. Very simple decor with a bright, welcoming atmosphere. It's easy to miss because it's located in a small plaza, but don't hesitate to try their coffee if you're around the area!

Surprisingly, the diner was not busy (maybe half full) on a Saturday at around lunchtime. I found this somewhat odd. The restaurant is basically the diner counter and then a line of booths along the wall, so there is not too much seating overall. I would imagine it could get filled up very quickly. The food was very good overall: - Chicken parmesan sandwich was huge and well-crafted. - The eggs blackstone was very tasty - the hollandaise melded surprisingly well with the avocado and egg. I would imagine that the California benedict (the version with bacon) would taste very good as well. - Kids loved the pancakes, especially the chocolate ones.

Since Yemeni coffee and tea options aren't common for everyone, they take the time to explain the menu and answer questions, which I really appreciated. However, the Adeni Chai was the only saving grace of the visit. It was flavorful and well made, but the coffee was a massive disappointment. I tried the Jubani after the staff described it as a delicious light-roasted coffee packed with caffeine, but in reality, it tasted like bland cardamom water with absolutely no coffee flavor or body. It felt like I was just drinking hot spiced water. The atmosphere was also a major issue as there was no seating available whatsoever. The crowd was mostly of Middle Eastern descent and many were incredibly rude; people will bump right into you and not say a word. Even worse was the way some customers spoke to the workers, it was absolutely deplorable. Honestly, who raised you? It was uncomfortable to witness. The dessert selection was even worse. Most of what we ordered felt stale and old. The only thing worth eating was the bubble dessert with cheese because they actually toast it. We tried both the pistachio milk cake and the pistachio dream cake, and neither was impressive. The khattafi in the pistachio dream was the biggest letdown; it was so stale and bland I can't believe they actually put it out to sell when it was clearly weeks if not months old. The basboosa was also a disappointment, as it was a very small square of semolina cake for almost $5. Overall, It is not a good place for coffee or desserts, so if you do go, stick strictly to the Adeni chai.
