Terrace Bagels is one of the best bagel spots in the area. Their bagels are large, puffy, and incredibly fresh, exactly what you want when you're craving that perfect chew. ($19 for 12 bagels) Whether you're grabbing a classic sesame or going bold with a rainbow bagel for the kids, there's something for everyone. They even offer flat bagels for the diet-conscious. They are always fresh and generously sized The hot food menu is just as impressive. Breakfast sandwiches, melts, and other deli-style options are flavorful and satisfying. It's clear they put care into more than just their bagels. Some of the cakes displayed on the counter look better than they taste, visually tempting but a bit underwhelming flavor-wise. And while the coffee is decent, nearly $4 for a regular cup feels steep, especially when paired with a casual breakfast. read more

If you like bagels (about everyone I guess!) this is your place! Their bagels are fresh everyday with fair numbers of cream cheese choice. I had everything bagel with garlic herbs cream cheese today. It was delicious - garlic and herbs flavors were balanced, herbs were fresh, and gave a hint of spicy taste. The cashier was very friendly and helpful, and my order was made in timely fashion. read more

Bagels are REALLY fresh and delicious. This isn't too close to home but we tend to drive the 20 minutes to get there just because they're some of the better bagels we've had. It gets busy but it never seems to be too long of a wait. read more

All the food is high quality and delicious. The bagels are the best in Jersey. Cute ambiance and the service is quick!

I liked the bagel, crispy outside soft inside, but it was a little small. I also smelled the water in the bagel, if that makes any sense to anyone, and there wasn't much flavor in the plain bagel (i had the last few bites of what the kids didn't want and was not impressed). This place was busy right before close, and I had to wait a while for not a complex order. Still, my everything and cin raisin bagels were good. read more

Love this place but i just paid $25 for a bagel with flavored cream cheese + lox and large coffee. Thats outrageous. I know lox jacks up the price but $25?! I don't even pay that price at the nice shops in the city! read more

nitro coffe on tap i smooth. Bagels are fresh. Service was slow and cream cheese portions were small but still good,

used to LOVE their bagels, got them frequently. Now moved half hour away but made the trip especially for their product. The flat sesame bagels were dry and super dense. The cinnamon raisins bagels were all burned on the bottom. $18.00 worth of bagels, NOT worth the money or the trip. Never again. read more

If you are a NYer looking for the best bagels OMG this is it. If you are ANYONE from ANYWHERE looking for outstanding bagels, this is it!

Terrace Bagels & Cafe - Everything Bagel with the best cream cheese ever - Bagels Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

The bagels are simply great here. The sandwiches are nicely made to order, too. It does get pretty busy, but moves relatively fast. Many times, your favorite bagels may get sold out, so get there early. Note that on the weekends close at 2 (or earlier if it's a holiday), while the weekdays it closes at 3. It helps that repeat orders and visits can build towards discounts off future purchases. Nearly everybody is very happy and friendly there, which helps make up for the one employee there who is never happy or friendly. read more

Just got an everything bagel with cream cheese and this is what I got. Didn't open it until I got home and this is what I got. I owned two successful bagel shops locally, and if my baker ever presented this to be sold, he would be fired. Disgraceful Terrace bagels. read more

Terrace Bagels & Cafe - Supposedly, and everything bagel would not nearly everything on it - Bagels Near Me - Freehold, New Jersey

My go to bagel spot when I'm in the area! Bagels are always super fresh and they have such a wide selection of specialty cream cheese. Today tried spinach & artichoke cream cheese w tomato on an everything bagel, and tried garlic herb cream cheese w tomato on a bialy. Both cream cheeses were good, but definitely veryyyy flavorful, the garlic cream cheese was almost a little overpowering. 4 stars bc $22 for 2 bagels w cc and tomato, and 2 iced coffees seem a little pricey, especially considering it's self serve ice coffee and not "gourmet" made to order like a Starbucks or Rook read more

Been going to Terrace my whole life and it's always been the best bagels around! This week I did a catering order for the first time and it was amazing. As soon as I pulled up the staff was ready and carried everything out to my car for me. And the amount of food given was incredible! Ordered for 60 people and ended up needing to feed closer to 75 and we still had food left over. Highly recommend Terrace for catering or just your Sunday morning bagel run, it will not disappoint read more

i'm originally from new york, moved to jersey about 10 years ago now. terrace bagels is the only place in my area that even remotely compares to the beauty that is a new york bagel. the wide menu variety they have here is truly spectacular, but the service and the quality of the food itself really makes this place special. even just a plain bagel is tasty here, and it's really nice that they have a bunch of spread and cold cut options to spice things up if you wish. this is the only place i get my bagels from. the staff is always friendly and no matter how crowded it is in there, orders are efficiently served quite quickly, even on the busiest saturday and sunday mornings. i usually get takeout, but the few times i've sat and ate in the cafe were lovely. always clean and comfortable. i would highly recommend!!! read more

Heard a ton about Terrace bagels from a bunch of people in town. Didn't know if it would live up to the hype and it did. So good. First off, it is busy in here so you may need to wait a little for your food. The chicken salad looked good so I went with it. The bagels have a great texture to them and it worked perfectly with the chicken salad. I am putting my stamp on them as the best bagels in town. So good. Will be back. read more

The best bagels! Fresh, chewy, and crispy with amazing flavors. Friendly staff and delicious cream cheese spreads. Highly recommend!

My favorite bagels ever. Absolutly love the bagels can't say enough. Generally fast service for fresh to order foods too including breakfast Sammies. Place is also usually clean. Love it here. Will go back over and over. read more

In an effort to try new bagel places in the area, I stopped in one late morning. Really liked the amount of space this place has. There were a decent amount of tables to sit down at and enjoy a quick breakfast or lunch. Only had to wait a couple minutes for my order, so the staff is very efficient. I got a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and my boyfriend had a whole wheat bagel with bacon, egg and cheese. The bagels were truly perfect. Fluffy on the inside with that perfect crunch on the inside. They gave me the right amount of cream cheese too; the perfect glop. I appreciate when a place gives you a lot of cream cheese. The prices were very reasonable and expected. I think we will be making this our regular bagel place! read more

Similar to some other experiences. Service has definitely degraded over the years although several are quite good- I also had similar experience with the short girl behind the counter (attitude!). And the occasional "1/2 of the top bagel is missing on an egg sandwich ". Gave it 3 stars bc there are a few good staff that give good service w a smile and the food is usually good. But no longer a "must goto" bagel place anymore. read more

Great bagel place with good selection. Prompt service and orders arrived exactly. Indoor seating and outdoors. read more

Really nice fluffy bagels and yummy stuff BUT really uncoordinated in a rush. Placed an order online, waited through multiple multiple order call outs. Asked once and on the second time my order was under the counter, never called out. I got home and the French toast bagel I ordered was made to be a cinnamon raisin. I know they run out but usually call out to the customer and ask the preference on a different bagel they have made. TLDR: good bagels, but each time I go back the experience gets worse. read more

DTS this weekend for MDW. Bagels epic. If you ever get a chance to pass through Freehold , seize the opportunity to try Terrace. read more

Love this place! My go to for bagels. Nice people giving good service, and they offer door dash for those cold winter mornings !

Call it growing pains. Call it stubborn management. Sometimes it takes a while to figure out a business. When Terrace moved to their new location, there were a few quirks, which, fortunately, they've addressed. They still have issues, such as too many people in line and the store is too small to handle the influx of people. The fact of the matter is that Terrace sets the standard for bagels in the Freehold area. I find some of their prices outrageous, such as $10.50/lb for chicken salad or $2.40 for a medium coffee. But, then again, a bakers dozen of bagels is $11.30 so it isn't all bad. About those bagels....large, fluffy, crunchy crust. There is barely any hole in the middle because these things are huge! Also, their everything bagel has more than sesame and Poppy, and they have egg everything. Their selection is fantastic and the bagels rotate quickly so that they are always fresh. Unfortunately they haven't figured out the "Terrace Experience". The line to order is long and there isn't a lot of space to stand so its uncomfortable. That line, by the way, goes from the front of the store to the back, then curves around and comes back towards the entrance, which makes the people eating at the tables uncomfortable. Honestly, I wish I could get half the money that walks out of here because of the line and poor experience. The bottom line is this is the best bagel you're going to get in Freehold, hands down. If you want to wash that bagel down with coffee and not pay through the nose, the McDonald's across the street has award winning brew for a buck a cup. If you like butter on your bagel, tell them not to overdo it or you'll be scrubbing it out of your upholstery after it leaks out of the bag. Nice people, awesome bagels, mediocre experience. Love them or hate them, you're not going to get a better bagel anywhere else in New Jersey. read more

Really need to train staff consistently. I'm standing next to someone getting a dozen bagels. He orders the wrong bagel because the sign was wrong and the guy puts an Asiago bagel in the bag. Customer realizes a mistake and says he wanted the "other one", a French toast... so he gives it to him for free because he touched the other. I get a dozen bagels and think, hey, guess you can get the special bagels in the dozen. It's not until I'm in my car that I realize she canceled the dozen order, 13 bagels for $16.80, and charged me individually for each bagel with an up charge for the "special bagels". Would have been nice to say "there's a charge for those". So not only did I not get the 13th free for bakers dozen, I paid $22 for the bagels. Looks like I'm better off hitting one of the other places on route 9 closer to my house than going to what I thought was "the best". Bad form. read more

Service getting worst and worst every day. Waiting over 20m after 12pm is crazy Acknowledge the customer. read more

Food: I don't normally eat here for their regular food but I can vouch for their breakfast! My go to is the bacon, egg, and cheese on a bagel with salt/pepper/ketchup! Always love stopping by here before going on a trip to grab a quick and delicious breakfast. Cost: The breakfast bagels are worth the cost! Environment: The restaurant is very homey and the locals definitely know that this place is great because there's always a line. The bagels are fresh and everything is just so delicious. Service: Very quick and efficient. Sometimes there may be a bit of a slow down but thats because there are so many people waiting to get their hands on some breakfast. Uniqueness: A definitely go to for breakfast. I can't say much about their regular restaurant section (I don't know if they still have this because they moved to a different location). read more

UPDATED: Terrace Bagels has moved to their new, nicely designed location next to Burlington Coat... still the best bagels!! My Sunday tradition of buying bagels here took me to their new location about a mile away in the Burlington coat shopping plaza. An absolutely beautiful interior awaits you, and still central Jersey's best bagels! The loyal customers had no problem finding this new location as their usual line ran all the way down the store. But no one minds waiting, as the line fast and you get the best bagels in the Freehold area. The coffee is also great here too. Plus they have plenty of prepared foods, salads, and other yummy selections. The layout of the new dining area is very sharp and nicely appointed, unfortunately it is much more cramped than the old location. But in fairness the old location used to have a restaurant next-door which did close so they had more space for seating there. Still if I'm going to eat an omelette there I really don't want to have to bump elbows with a stranger. But I have to say, no one cooks eggs or an omelette or any of that breakfast food better than here! I would love to meet the cook some today... But because the bagels and coffee and everything else they sell is so darn good here, I just can't subtract a star from my favorite breakfast joint and Sunday bagel stop! Still 5 stars for me! Very highly recommended for bagels, coffee, breakfast and lunch! read more

Great little breakfast spot. I pulled in and it was packed, but I ordered and got my food still in a timely matter. Staff was friendly at the counter and the guy taking my order was positive, even though the line was wrapping around the dining area. I ordered a multigrain bagel and the low fat Scallion cream cheese and that jawn hit different. They did absolutely load it up with cream cheese though, so if you don't like too much cheese, definitely ask for like CC when ordering. Their nitro cold brew is also really good. Wasn't bitter at all and went down like how a smooth draft coffee should be. If you are dining in however, seating is a bit limited and the dining area is loud with the kitchen and other patrons. read more

Food, service, and ambiance were all were very good, love your empanadas and really love the mini bagels.
