    The Bagel Zone- plenty of everything seasoning and poppy seeds - so good

    I live in Florida but am visiting my sister here in NJ. When in Florida, there's literally only one bagel shop that my husband and I frequent and consider legitimate bagel wise. They serve traditional NY style boiled and baked bagels with plenty of flavor and a perfectly dense and chewy texture. Here in NJ we've only tried Victorias Bagels and now The Bagel Zone. After reading the reviews for the Bagel Zone I wasn't sure what we were going to get . What we got was EXACTLY what I'd expect when eating a REALLY good bagel. And the owner....sweet as a peach, helpful and seemingly happy to be doing what he does bagel business wise....excellent customer service in my case and trust me when I say I'm a freak about expecting / wanting / needing good customer service in order for me to spend my money at any establishment. We purchased a bakers dozen (everything, poppy seed, blueberry, cinnamon raisin and French toast). We also purchased the garlic herb and veggie cream cheese. So far I've only tried the everything and the poppy seed - both perfection and loaded with the "everything" and "poppy seed" seasonings (see pics which compare The Bagel Zone with ANOTHER bagel shop....the Zone takes it!!!!! We also purchased the garlic herb and veggie cream cheese. Both were good but the garlic herb was DELICIOUS!!!! Fair price of $21 for everything.

    Owner feedback

    Regarding my recent review about inferior customer service, I felt the need to post this interaction that was sent to me by the business owner on same day as review. In all my years of managing customer service, I would never imagine telling a customer to shut up. I am truly shocked that this guy is the business owner and is allowed to use the oven. Sadly, there will come a day when this guy closes up for the last time and will be wondering what exactly went wrong. It's your customer service skills, dude. That's why people will turn away from your business. UPDATE -- I have also attached another screenshot that Joey felt compelled to say after I posted the screenshots of our lovely chat. Posting it per his request. This man-boy certainly needs meds.

    These bagels are OK. I brought home a dozen and they satisfied our bagel craving. The big winner was the old fashioned french toast. It was fantastic. I am usually just a salt, garlic, or everything bagel guy but this french toast bagel was quite impressive. The everything bagel on the other hand fell a bit flat for me but I can be a bit of a bagel snob as a native New Yorker.

    Owner called me a crybaby because of my review, very classy

    Went here to grab a bagel for lunch and while the employee was letting someone out of the building, she rudely told me that they were closed for their own lunch- it was 11:50. I told her that I wanted to buy a bagel and she locked the door in my face. Shouldn't employees have their break on off times and not lunch time? Edit- please see what the owner DMed to me. Good luck Joseph advertising that you offer lunch and being closed during most people's lunch breaks. Makes great business sense.

    I've been here quite a few times and never had a problem... They have all kinds of food items…read more.. From lunch meat to salads, pickles as well as pickled eggs and quite a bit more... They share the building with many other small stores... They have plenty of areas to park in front and in the rear... There are also plenty of Handicapped parking spaces...

    They have three kinds of potato salad. I asked what the difference was between Sadie's very yellow…read morepotato salad and the very white Philadelphia style potato salad. The young boy said Sadie's had lots of mustard and eggs in it and the Philadelphia was with herbs. Both looked very good and then I spotted a girl filling a large pan with red skin potato salad and I said "oh, I'll have that." Every regular customer shot a look at me, like are you nuts? The boy who is turning around to get the red skin salad says " Sadie's is our number one seller" and at that each customer shook their heads yes. I bought Sadie's, did I have a choice and it was very good. I do make potato salad all the time, so I rarely, if never buy it out. I make mine with a lot of cooked egg yolks only, mustard, dill and the only sweetness it gets is from the little sweet pickle relish I add to it . Sadie's is okay and it was missing the crunch of not enough onion or celery. One could easily do all of their shopping here and forget the rest of the market. Located right inside the market and to your right, it starts with a huge glass doored refrigerator with glass bottled milks, cream and non cheese dairy products. Along the first side of this Deli is a very large open cooler with many homemade cheeses, including all the ones you are familiar with and many that have different flavors blended in. The other half of this cooler is filled with so many cheese spreads and of course I have to try the unusual ones. As you round the corner there are huge barrels of various deli style pickles. These were huge pickles and one would easily fill you up. Next is a large sliced meat counter and Lebanon bologna is plentiful. They do not make deli sandwiches though and I think this is a huge mistake. Located past the cash stand and they do accept credit cards if your purchase is over twenty dollars, is a mile long glass enclosed cooler filled with homemade salads, slaw's, meals to go like barbecued pulled pork, chicken and dumplings, baked beans and ham salad. Towards the end of this cooler it is filled with homemade desserts, like chocolate eclair pudding, tapioca, rice pudding, bread pudding and oodles more. Now you do realize it is not a mile long, but with my tongue hanging out, it seemed close to it. When you first walk into the market there is a cafeteria style dining area. As we sat down to eat some of the many foods that we had bought, we witnessed so many regulars walking in knowing exactly what they wanted, returning clean glass bottles and restocking on milk products for the week, since the market is only open Thursday through Saturday. We also noticed young Amish boys, with their bowl styled haircuts take a seat in the cafeteria and not one missed the chance to bow their heads and give thanks for the food they were about to receive. Walking through this Amish Farmer's Market, you will see lots of folks who own businesses here and several of them have the last name of Stoltzfus, this one is Ben and his card simply reads Stoltzfus Country Deli, although the place itself and the web site read as headlined for this review. So this is what I bought, Crab-meat cocktail cheese spread, loaded with crab-meat and hubby claimed it, which is fine because it was a bit too sweet for my tastes, although with a layer of that on a crisp and another heaping layer of the garlic shrimp scampi cheese spread, it was yummylicious! Love the garlic shrimp scampi spread and it had a kick to it too, even better. Hubby wanted a sandwich from here and was disappointed to find out they did not make sandwiches, but he did want cole slaw and he liked Sadie's potato salad, even though he says mine is so much better. I bought some of the chicken and dumplings and they were very good and so bothersome to make at home, especially when hubby does not like dumplings. I make a ham pot pie, which is like a chicken and dumplings, but with ham, potatoes, dumplings, onions and french style green beans. I grew up on Pa. Dutch foods and their pulled pork barbecue sauce tasted exactly like mine, which of course is very good and the pork was perfectly shredded and lean. With Pa. Dutch and Amish farmer's markets around, I see myself doing a lot less cooking, a lot more eating and to that I say Amen!

    I've driven past the State Road Deli a thousand times this past year because my friends live in one…read moreof the houses behind it. I never went into or inquired about the deli, mainly because there is a mural of a Burrito on the side of the building, and I thought it was all Mexican food they made. I love Mexican food but I was confused because of the deli sign. It all made sense once I went inside, but first, I want to explain my impression at first site. The outside is lively, with its "bright"; you can't miss the blue shade that makes the house stand out. I know this because I used it as a landmark where my turn is for my friend's house. One day, I just stopped in to grab a menu; I meant menus. Usually, when I see a restaurant with an extensive, long menu, I cringe, but this is not a restaurant. When I first walked in, it looked like a mom-and-pop grocery store. Then I saw their hot food plates, and they had Pintos & Beans, and Rice, all separate. It reminded me of when I would grab a bite on the run when I lived in Tampa; they were all good food memories, so I was pleasantly surprised and excited about ordering from them. The owner, the Chef in charge, told me breakfast was popular, and after I tried his breakfast Buritto, I understood why. Delicious!! You can order a la carte or, if brave, one of the signature breakfast burritos or sandwiches. I had a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a Kaiser roll with extra sharp cheddar cheese, and I loved it enough to go back a second time for the pinto and beans mixed with pieces of pork, which was very yummy, and I had to try the Chicken Caesar salad. I know it's not the best combination, but I wanted to try them both, and each was very good. The salad dressing has to be up to par, or else it ruins the salad, and their Caesar salad dressing made the cut, I was very pleased. This place is a hidden gem of a deli; it has unique menu choices and something for everyone, children included. There is a short wait time because their sandwiches are not pre-made. The portions are large and always have leftovers. Prices are reasonable. So, if you're in the mood for something with a kick or without the kick with an array of options, give it a try. Make it as hot as you like or as mild as can be; it's all delicious. It's a take-out only and not wheelchair accessible because of the steps up to the door: cash or credit. The staff is friendly and helpful, and it's a plus that you can pick up items you forgot at the grocery store while you wait. They sell all the necessities, from canned goods and trash bags to pet foods. They do have clean restrooms. I do recommend the State Road Deli, and I'm looking forward to going back again.

    New owner did put a new twist to the menu. There is a lot more options for breakfast and lunch.read more

One good change is they actually have an electric deli slicer! It was breakfast time so I decided to check out their offering. It's nice that they have a touchscreen so you can customize and order food yourself. The people working there were on the quiet side, but nice. I went with a Turkey Sausage, Egg and Cheese on a Bagel with jalapenos. The wait wasn't too bad, they have one person manning the grill and another helping to finish sandwiches off. The long roll option looked intriguing, but I'm more of a bagel guy for my sandwiches. It's nice to be able to watch your sandwich being made, but the kitchen and the store could use some cleaning and better lighting. My sandwich was average. The jalapenos were fresh and had a nice crunch, the amount of toppings were just plentiful and the bagel was fresh, but on the smaller end. For pennies under $4 I would say it was a decent value. There are better breakfast sandwich joints to be had in the area, but this one was ok.

    This is probably a better Cheesesteak than the score of 84 that I gave it. I was really liking…read moreLucky 7 and was getting excited for my cheesesteak. The other sandwiches they were making looked very good. They use a good amount of meat. On the ordering kiosk the picture of the grilled mushrooms looked very good. I got the grilled mushrooms and then paid the extra $1.50 for Sharp provolone thinking it would be a good combo with the mushrooms. The mushrooms and onions spend a good amount of time on the grill together. Unfortunately they needed more time and more mushrooms and onions. They kind of got lost in the cheesesteak. They ran out of sharp provolone so I got half regular provolone but was still allowed to pay the full $1.50. Good cheesesteak experience.
