Excited to come here after seeing all the posts on instagram. And it lived up to the hype! The girl at the front counter was so incredibly nice, she explained everything into detail with us, she had so much patience ! The business was very welcoming and very clean. Now, let's get to the bagels. You can order any bagel, any style, any way you want. These bagels did not disappoint, it was way too much for us to finish, but they were pretty good. It was a great experience! read more

There are a lot of options, so it's best you come with some ideas of what you want. If not, they have QR codes you can scan to see the menu. The service was very friendly and quick. There is seating, but the place can get really crowded. We ordered: - black russian bagel with lox cream cheese - salt bagel with lox cream cheese First, the bagels are great! Nice and chewy, and pretty substantial in size. Second, they were pretty generous with the lox cream cheese. And third, the prices are really reasonable. read more

Really disappointing experience. My order has been wrong 4 out of 5 times. I work right next door and kept coming back hoping it would get better, but unfortunately it hasn't. read more

I commend the owner for (ostensibly) hiring the neurodivergant. The gruffness and volume of the name-caller may be accordingly forgiven. The discovery of a few distorted and flattened (to the point where, for half of the bagel, it was too flat to slice) bagels among my take-home bag is not. I provide here, free-of-charge, useful informtion for the Bagel Nook staff, courtesy of Oxford: "toasted". adjective (of food, especially bread or cheese) cooked or browned by exposure to a grill, fire, or other source of radiant heat. Perhaps with this information, the staff can less frequently fail to carry out their patrons' instructions. read more

Bagelicious! Great variety, fresh bagels galore! We loved the unique bagel flavors: Doritos, captain crunch, blueberry French toast, and Cheetos! Yes, for traditional bagel eaters the sesame with veggie cream cheese is fantastic! Loved the tie-dye bagel with strawberry cream cheese (real strawberries)! You will not be disappointed! There are also many breakfast options... And more savory bagel, sandwiches, roast, beef, fried chicken, and of course, an egg bagel delight! read more

To be clear, I come here for really simple stuff... bagel with butter or cream cheese and not for the hot food / sandwiches. For what I get, it is solid. Bagels are good. I dislike that their app doesn't have the ability to order just a simple bagel. Only the complex stuff. On weekends, the place has gotten really busy and would love to do my order over the app so I don't have to wait in line. Nevertheless, I'm cool with it, and satisfied with the level of service and speed. read more

Their Bagels are great Wait times are not Worst is when they have half the order ready and not the other. They need to fix that fast. read more

Service could not be worse. I ordered online in advance. When I arrived they showed me my order receipt and said it will be ready soon. They cleared the line 3 times and after half hour, I asked for an ETA. The guy went to the back and said "8 moreminutes." I paid 20% extra to order online and tipped. To make matters worse, when I opened my food order, the bagel was not sliced and had no spread and the filling of my "greek omlette" was almost all onions... really? read more

I genuinely love bagels, so I walked into The Bagel Nook expecting a simple bagel with cream cheese. What I got instead felt like I accidentally volunteered for a food experiment that should have stayed in the lab. The bagels themselves are fine, but the cream cheese and spreads are where things go completely off the rails. Birthday cake, Oreo, Flaming Hot Cheetos, ghost pepper, cookie dough, and other combinations that seem less about food and more about shock value. At no point does anyone appear to ask whether these flavors should exist, only whether they can be made louder and more extreme. After trying more than one spread, it became obvious that this is not just about strange flavors but about low quality ingredients piled on top of each other. Everything tastes overly processed, artificial, and heavy, like the goal is to overwhelm your taste buds so you do not notice what you are actually eating. It feels cheap, rushed, and careless. What is most concerning is how unhealthy this stuff is. These spreads are packed with sugar, artificial flavors, dyes, and who knows what else, all smeared generously onto a bagel and passed off as creative. This is not indulgence, it is just junk food pretending to be clever, and it cannot possibly be doing anyone any favors health wise. Meanwhile, people around me were happily ordering these combinations like this was totally normal. I honestly felt like I was in an alternate universe where cream cheese is no longer supposed to taste good or be real, just extreme. If you want a normal bagel with quality ingredients, this is not the place. If you enjoy novelty food made with questionable ingredients that leaves you feeling worse than when you walked in, you will probably love it. read more

I have been here twice. The shop itself is adorable, lots of natural lighting and plenty of seating. Parking is a pain but most people get their food to go anyway. This is a popular local spot. I will not be coming here again. I have never been charged so much by a restaurant that is sooo stingy with its toppings! 99¢ for tomatoes, 99¢ for lettuce, and $1.99 for capers!? On a bagel that starts at $16? Insane. To add insult to injury was the fact that I hardly got any lettuce, and capers only in the hole of my bagel. I wanted to give them another chance by ordering something that did come with toppings and they were STILL STINGY! HOW DO YOU MAKE A RUBEN WITH NO SAUERKRAUT??? ITS LIKE THE BEST PART And it wasn't just my sandwich either, my coworker who also ordered a Ruben had no sauerkraut either. My other coworker hardly got any buffalo sauce on their buffalo chicken wrap. Portions seem to vary often here. The bagels themselves are mid. The broad variety of flavors garners most of the appeal, but there are definitely cheaper and better tasting options in the area. read more

My first time coming to 'The Bagel Nook' for a bagel with cream cheese for a breakfast/brunch with my sister. She came for a few days, so I'm spending the day with her. The service was face paced and the servant was very polite and nice. The atmosphere and environment is very clean and well respected. I would definitely come back here again. Definitely recommend this place to anyone to try. Give them a try!! #GetYaHookOn #HookOn #GetYaBagelAndCreamCheeseOn #BreakfastOn #YummyFoodies #SisterTime read more

Amazing stuff going on here, love the variety of the menu. Got a jalapeño cheddar bagel with sausage egg and cheese, really good. Kids got m&m donut and cinna toast crunch bagel, both were also good but too sweet for my breakfast. We also grabbed a bacon, egg, and potato platter, which was large and delicious. Plenty of seating in the place. A lot of to-go orders and varieties of coffees and beverages. When it's busy you know it's good and they were busy, but it went quick. Cannot wait to return. Check them out! Sorry only got a donut pic; next time. read more

When you're standing there waiting to order, no one else in the line, and you make eye contact with three different folks behind the counter... and they all ignore you. OK, maybe they're busy in some way I can't see? I wait patiently. A couple of minutes later, a man gets in line behind me. The guy shuffling the bagels on display right in front of me stops and greets the person behind me like they're long lost brothers. I walked out. It doesn't matter how good your bagels are if you're going to be incredibly rude to your potential customers. (Yelp is forcing me to leave 1 star... my actual rating is zero stars.) read more

The good news: pleasant spacious area/ good selections. The bad news: I ordered a toasted sesame bagel-VEGGIE CREAM cheese on side. a few shredded carrots & few spots of scallions(?) for $2.75 JUST FOR THE CREAM CHEESE. would be fine if there were actually some veggies in it. read more

Been wanting to try bagel noon after seeing them all over social media and I was disappointed this morning. I ordered a pork roll, egg and cheese on a specialty "flat" egg everything bagel with a hash brown. I also requested the pork roll alittle more well done. She asked if I wanted the bagel toasted and I said sure! When I opened it, here are the differences: - Wrong bagel (just a normal everything) - untoasted - no hash brown - pork roll had no color and was kinda cold I spent $20.57 leaving a 15% tip and getting a Tropicana. But $17 for a bagel sandwich where the order is wrong isn't worth it. There are much better bagel stores where you get a way better product for less money. I don't recommend. read more

I'm disappointed by reassured that some other share what I experienced here. My fiancé & I wanted to give this place a try since the options seemed fun. Once our order was taken we were left waiting for 40 minutes. We were first in line right after a morning rush and were completely forgotten. To add salt to the wound once we were handed our bag and got to the car - we checked only to find that we were missing a bagel. No apologizes, no efforts to right the wrongs, & such a poor experience. Will not be back. P.s. bagels were mediocre at best. read more

Before going to Color Me Mine, we grabbed a quick breakfast at The Bagel Nook. We were greeted by an impressively creative assortment of bagel flavors and cream cheese. However, we ended up getting the onion bagel with egg, avocado, and scallion cream cheese. Our bagel had a healthy amount of everything and it was delicious! I loved every ingredient and next time I might consider adding in a hash brown. I loved my experience at The Bagel Nook and there is plenty of seating inside. Definitely try it if you're in Princeton! read more

Solid bagels and many options to pick from. However, I got a bacon egg and cheese and they didn't toast the bagel... didn't even ask me if I wanted the option. Of course I want my bagel toasted!!!!! Same thing happened for my friend. We were so confused. That's just standard bagel practice. There are tables to sit at and the inside is nice and clean so that was a plus. read more

Won't be back. Food is good but the service is awful. The place is run largely by kids who have no idea what they're doing; as a result, your order will always be wrong. If you get it at all. Also their app sucks LOL. read more

I was so excited to finally try out The Bagel Nook! I always see their unique bagel and cream cheese options all over the internet! This shop is super cool, I love the photos of different types of bagels they serve on the wall. Also, the mural where the bathrooms are is cool too! I was greeted by a nice young man who was patient with my sister and I as we read through everything they offer. He even let us taste as many cream cheeses as we liked! Since it was the last day of pride month, I opted for the tie dye bagel with strawberry cream cheese. The strawberry cream cheese was PERFECT with the chunks of fresh strawberries found in every bite. I should've ordered all the flavors I wanted since I don't have a Bagel Nook by me...I was eyeing the hot cheetos bagel haha! Will be back here again! read more

Been coming to this popular little breakfast spot for a few years now. They have another location which I haven't been to in Freehold. They're known for their wild variety of flavored cream cheeses and bagels. They also have a great selection of other breakfast/brunch foods. I also cannot forget to mention their many coffee flavors. This visit I got a chicken cesar wrap with a side of coleslaw. It was fresh, delicious, the lettuce was still crisp and the chicken was chunky. The coleslaw I thought would be bland but it was flavorful. This place is always busy but the service is good for as much business as they get. Will always be back. read more

I don't usually leave reviews let alone a bad review but this is one of the worse experiences I have had at a bagel store. I order a pork roll egg and cheese when I got the sandwich there was no meat on it. We took the sandwich up to the counter and they said they would replace it. I received the replacement sandwich it was horrible the meat wasn't cooked and cheese wasn't even melted. Needless to say I didn't eat nor did I bother to let them know for fear the kitchen staff would do something to the next one. This wasn't the first time they forgot to put meat in my sandwich either it happened last time we were here. I highly doubt I will be going back anytime soon. read more

I just got 1/2 a dozen bagels and scallion cream cheese. It was about 20 dollars total so it was a bit pricey. But what can you expect from a bagel shop in Princeton. The bagel were mid but maybe the specialty bagels are better. I did get the cheddar jalapeño bagel and would not recommend. It was just a plain bagel with cheese and 2 slices of jalapeño on top. The scallion cream cheese I got was disappointing too especially since to was so pricy. read more

I ordered the pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese yet there was barely any pumpkin flavor. I expected some sweetness from this combination but it wasn't much different than a plain bagel with plain cream cheese. It is very cute but I'm not eating with my eyes. It was pretty busy on a Sunday morning but I did receive my food pretty quickly. However, they didn't ask if I wanted my bagel toasted which was odd so I was left with a cold bagel. read more

I came here for the Santa bagels around Christmas. Although they were fairly expensive for one bagel at $5 each (and only sold in packs of 4), they were a huge hit. The actual bagel was good. They also have "crazy" cream cheese flavors. We tried the everything bagel cream cheese which was fantastic and the s'mores one which was good but too sweet for my taste. Highly recommend them if you're looking for creative bagels. read more

It's my first time coming here; I didn't know what to expect or how to order. I was served by a lady with blue hair and I explained to her I wanted the promise land, and also a toasted pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese. She didn't repeat the order or even how it was going to come; just charged me and since it was my first time I didn't really understand the charge but just paid for it. Even after the mistake she showed no compassion or slight empathy for her mistake. Rather, she kept giving me an attitude when I was trying to find a way to fix the order. Although of this horrible experience I can say that the blueberry crumb with blueberry spread was good. It wasn't extremely sweet as I was expecting it to be. read more

I was pretty disappointed with my visit to The Bagel Nook. The reason I chose The Bagel Nook to grab breakfast after a short weekend trip to Princeton was because of all the lovely photos of bright, colorful bagels. The bagels in the pictures looked fluffy, full of toppings or meats/cheeses, and delicious. However, this was not the case. When we arrived, we were not given any guidance. The menu was on a screen, but it was extremely hard to read. I found a paper menu and decided on a meat, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich. I couldn't find the types of meats and cheese on the menu, so I had to ask the cashier who seemed very unsure. She did not tell me that the bagel I chose was a $2.34 up-charge. My sandwich was about $10 in the end. The sandwich took a while, and it definitely wasn't worth the wait. The sandwich was extremely greasy, the bagel was undercooked, and the sausage patty was pretty small. I ate about half and ending up throwing the rest away. The Bagel Nook was pretty disappointing all around. I definitely had higher hopes. read more

Went on a Sunday and people came and went and I was still waiting for my breakfast. Unfortunately, after half an hour wait I received my food which was not as expected. We ordered the fruity pebble's French toast, which was dry and cold. I had the Elvis with bacon, the cream cheese has no peanut butter flavor, the bagel was cold along with the bacon, not to mention that when I opened it up my sandwich and the banana was brown. We ordered the ghost pepper cream cheese, sadly not spicy at all, with a flaming hot bagel- no flavor just a colored bagel. My kids want to give them another chance but I was definitely unimpressed. read more

I had tried their bagels before but had never actually been there and I'm so glad I made the trek. They have an overwhelming selection of spreads and combinations of sandwiches to try. Coffee is self serve and was fine. We dined in. I had the flaming hot Cheetos bagel with sausage egg and cheese which was fantastic. My Daughter had a taylor ham egg and cheese which was also delish. We also got bagels and spreads to take home. Love the ghost pepper cream cheese on the flaming hot Cheetos bagel. Also got the Captain Crunch which was not too sweet. Doritos bagel was yummy as well. Also got everything cream cheese which was really good. Lastly we bought blueberry French toast bagels. I'd buy then all again. It's busy in here but service is friendly. You can't go wrong here. read more

Bagel nook is a casual place for great breakfast, coffee or lunch. I had the veggie omelette but with whole eggs and it comes with potatoes and bagel or toast. I got the sesame bagel with olive cream cheese. The omelette had perfectly cooked spinach, onions, mushrooms and tomatoes stuffed into soft eggs. I love when restaurants get their temperatures right and the omelette was served nice and hot. The potatoes had good flavor but think they forgot to heat them up. The bagel was good and really liked the olive cream cheese. I enjoyed the coffee too. Service was efficient and friendly. I can't wait to come back and try other items. read more

An image of the Sugar Cookie Overload Bagel made me want to try this place out! I ordered 3 bagels: Sugar Cookie Overload Bagel, Flaming Hot Cheetos Overload Bagel and Blueberry Crumb Overload Bagel. I thought the bagels, especially the Cookie and Blueberry one, would be wayy too sweet, but surprisingly they weren't! I think it's because the cream cheese wasn't like frosting (despite the sprinkles) which definitely helped! The Flaming Cheetos bagel had a lot of flavor and I really liked it (even though I usually don't eat spicy foods!) But I could only take a bite of each bagel - it was just too heavy and filling. This spot also has a great outdoor seating (I definitely prefer the outdoor seating in the back). And there is a creative and colorful wall in the back of the store - perfect for foodies like me to take their bagel pictures! I think these overload bagels were a one time thing for me, but I would be willing to come back and try a more "normal" bagel read more

If you've never seen The Bagel Nook on Instagram & TikTok yet, you need to start following more NJ foodies because this place is certainly a staple! I've been wanting to go to The Bagel Nook for years and finally got the opportunity to stop by the Princeton location recently. Upon walking in, I was already indecisive about what I wanted to order because I wanted to try everything!! The staff were also incredible and very welcoming. Whether you want a literal Cinnamon Bun as a bagel or a bagel with bacon and cheddar cheese on TOP with crush Doritos on the inside, The Bagel Nook can make any of those flavor combos happen for you and nothing is ever too weird. There are so many amazing options and the bagels are HUGE. I really wish I had a location near me because I would never run out of unique combinations! For this visit, I ordered the: -Cinnamon French Toast bagel with the Brown Sugar Butter -Bacon Cheddar bagel with cream cheese I kept it pretty simple because I was taking the order to-go but I definitely hope to go back soon to try out one of their breakfast sandwiches! My boyfriend put his bagel in the air fryer for a bit once we got back home and he saiid it was amazing and that he wants to stop by next time. Thank you to The Bagel Nook for providing amazing service and delicious food! I will certainly be back!! read more

We took a ride down to @the_bagel_nook in #PrincetonNJ today with H&O, aka the little dudes or the granddudes because they graciously made us one of their #Giant Pumpkin Bagels. The boys loved their bagel but I think they loved the green twizzler stem the most. One wanted fruity pebbles cream cheese and the other wanted butter but there was enough room in this pillow sized masterpiece for both. The cream cheese case at The Bagel Nook looks like your favorite ice cream shop with a variety that goes from birthday cake to jalapeño cheddar. It will be the most colorfully delicious bagel you will ever have. #BigDudesBigFoods #SupportSmallBusiness #CelebrateEveryDay #globaleats #shenanigans #BDBFCertified #ThePhoneEatsFirst #Forkyeahfoodies #BDBF @forkyeahfoodies #YouDontKnowJersey #TeaseTheDay #ClearEyesFullBelliesCantLose #ABigDudesGottaDoWhatABigDudesGottaDo #HaveYouHuggedABigDudeToday #TheBagelNook read more
