By far one of the Best Bagel shops I have eaten at. Lots of smear on my bagel and the lox were plentiful

To start I'd like to mention that I've been coming to 3 star bagels since I was 10. So I've been a loyal customer for over 14 years!! The reason I rarely go anywhere else is because they really do have the best bagels in the area. And not just the bagels -- The spreads; egg salad, tuna salad, whitefish, bruschetta and just about everything else they make is delicious! I would give the food five stars -- however the prices are dismal. 3 star is more expensive than ny for the same product. I would give the price 1 star. The service... Also absolutely awful. Not that it isn't fast, but when I order a bacon egg and cheese and all the bacon is in one small section of the bagel or the same deal with the cream cheese on a cream cheese bagel it's disappointing to say the least especially since you're paying a premium for their bagels. They are rude and don't care about how your food comes out. But that doesn't stop it from being very very tasty. Which is why they get 3 stars (they said it themselves!) read more

DO YOU WANT LATEX GLOVES IN YOUR CREAM CHEESE? Been coming here for years but will never again after this horrendous experience today. Yesterday they screwed up my order and put butter instead of cream cheese. Then today I told them about it and they put LATEX in it. These workers in there must be on some shit including the granny she was the one that prepared it. Fuckkkk this place. Never again read more

Three Star Bagels - Got a Latex poppy bagel after they screwed my order up the first time. Fuck this place - Bagels Near Me - Fort Lee, New Jersey

See all

THE local bagel place!! It's always packed and the food is always great, however there is about enough room for 5 people to comfortably stand. It's worth the nudging and attempting to both scream at the great people preparing your wonderful food and hand them the cash; however I'm sure if they opened it up a bit, the experience would be much more pleasant. Watch the parking meters, evidently meters are up and running Saturday morning. read more

Best bagels ever:) flavor quality and the caring people who work there truly make this the best in the area.

The best bagels in New Jersey. I love to get the cinnamon raisin untoasted with scallion cream cheese, it's the best!

Our favorite local bagel place--- everything and cinnamon raisin in particular and the tuna salad. Get there early on the weekends and before Jewish holidays or you'll be left sad and bagelless. Three star, I give you four and would up you to a five if you wouldn't force me to visit a cash machine before my visit. read more

I'm very picky about my bagels and I really enjoy the bagels here. However, they are very overpriced.

I thought the bagels were good until I found another place where they are much better and where they take credit cards. Never understood why Three Star only accepts cash. Also, I question whether or not they are taking the proper precautions during this pandemic. I have noticed that, while the server may be wearing gloves while preparing an order, he then handles the money with the same gloves. Wonder if he changes them for the next order. Also wonder if he wears gloves with each order since it is hard to see what's going on behind the counter. read more

My favorite bagel place in Fort Lee. I just get the same type of bagel though each time as it is an everything bagel with either veggie or olive cream cheese. Their olive cream cheese is the best and it is not overpowering like some other places. They also make Greek cheese puffs and they are amazing. I also purchased a chicken Panini with roasted red peppers and some other stuff on it for lunch one day. I loved that as well. The service is fast and pleasant as well. read more

Great bagels and coffee. I live nearby, so I walk here on weekends for bagel and cream cheese and coffee. I am no bagel expert, but you can tell it's the good stuff. No wonder they've here forever. This place is usually packed in the morning when I go. It being so small inside doesn't help the matter either. But the line moves pretty fast and employees know what they are doing. You can see bagels come out of the oven lot of times. Fresh bagel out of the oven is really great. My kids like their breakfast sandwich, simple bacon and egg on bagel or rolls. Simple food, well executed. Municipal parking is half a block away and they even have a small lot in the back. Parking shouldn't be an issue here most of the time. This is the place to go in Fort Lee if you want a good bagel. read more

- service is friendly - bagels are great - scallions on the scallion cream cheese were not fresh and there wasn't enough scallions If it wasn't for the poor scallion quality it would definitely be at least 4 stars read more

Honestly the best bagels I've ever had. My family refuses to get them anywhere else! Breakfast sandwiches are great, but I'd just get a bagel with cream cheese (and sometimes a baked good as a treat). Only reason this place isn't 5 stars is the price. I understand they're quality, but most people can't afford to be making this place a part of a daily routine. read more

This was my favorite bagel place but I'm moving on. My last three visits they had no capers. Really?? It's a staple for lox. Their whole wheat everything bagel is fantastic as are all their bagels. I will give them that their bagels are wonderful. But lacking key items and also high prices, it's not worth my time. The line will get long on a weekend and cash only. There are outdoor tables outside, very nice! Also, the iced coffee is not. It's a cup of ice that you're expected to pour hot coffee over. If anyone thinks this is what iced coffee is, you shouldn't be in the food industry. read more

The bagels are nothing to go crazy over but because it's so close to my house I've frequently ordered from them. I've always been able to order by phone and come pick up until recently where I was in a time crunch and I needed to order in advance and when I called the response was "we don't do phone orders." When I explained that I've done it multiple times he responded with "Nah" and hung up the phone on me. Beyond rude! read more

I've been here a couple of times in the morning because it's the only bagel shop on the way to work. I would rather skip breakfast then waste my money here. The customer service is lacking and my order is always wrong. If I get a toasted plain bagel with cream cheese they will forget to toast the bagel or put scallion cream cheese (happened twice) The bacon egg and cheese was also very greasy I couldn't finish it (also asked for no salt&pepper- you guessed it, they added salt&pepper). So one morning I decided I'm going to give this place one more chance and order something completely different. Bad move. I got one of their spinach turnovers and it was the worst spinach turnover I ever had. They even heated it up but there was no point because the inside was still cold. There are far better places then here! and for a bagel shop the prices are expensive. read more

The above rating is actually zero stars. This place was great years ago. Maybe it has changed hands. Whatever the reason, the place is terrible. I go to a place called Bagelmania in Lodi that has bagels TWICE THE SIZE, and there's always a ton of cream cheese, lox and sliced onion on my bagel. This place runs out of everything bagels CONSTANTLY, and the bagel that is half the size of bagelmania's is $2.14 more. Don't waste your money. There are plenty of bagel places in the area or take a ride out to Essex Street in Lodi bc the prices in this place are ridiculous. read more

Bagels are amazing, counter staff and management are a different story. Just the other day, after coming for all 23 years of my life, I was YELLED at by a counterperson who's worked there for some time, just because I asked about the price changes. Maria ignored me until she was done talking. My mom used to work for Maria (the owner) almost 20 years ago when she was a teenager. She told me she was always stingy. Maria will socialize with people she knows, while the entire store is run like chickens without heads. She currently charges $8.99/lb for most cream cheese...WHAT!!! It's $3 for a bagel with cream cheese. That's insane. If you like other bagels, find them elsewhere. Because the customer service is not up to what it should be. read more

I like their blueberry bagel but I don't like their employees at all. Not everyone but this was the second time they said wrong amount. I didn't buy that many. I ordered 2 bagels (nothing on it) and 1 muffin. Guy said $6.00 total. I said, 'What did you say?' Because it shouldn't be more than $4.00... He said, 'Oh... $4.00...' I don't trust their mental calculation, feels that they tried to do cheating all the times. They must use cash register... read more

Egg salad on a bagel!!!! Ughhh soo freaking good! Yummy!

The worker that made my sandwich kept his gloves on when ringing me up (I used cash) and then continued helping others using the same gloves! I watched him to see if he would change them but he didn't. I almost wanted to say something and now I regret I didn't. I have not returned for this reason.... read more

Good place for breakfast. Their bagels are decently sized and soft. Menu consists of things you would normally see in a deli. My only peeve about this place is that they charge for everything. A bagel with butter is under $2 but you want that toasted? That'll be .15 extra. They will charge you for almost any condiments, including lettuce and tomato on your sandwich. As good as the food is, their ridiculous extra "fees" prevent me from eating here daily. Oh and they only accept cash. read more

Good bagels! Not as great as Absolute Bagels in the city but if you don't want to pay the toll these get the job done. Regular cream cheese was good, veggie not so much. They do breakfast sandwiches and the white fish salad is decent. Cash only! read more

Local place that tends to get busy on weekends. New policy in place today, no toasting bagels, takes to long is what I was told by the owner. I'm finding another place, time to move on, closest does not mean best. read more

The best Begal in town, fresh and clean. They made your own style Begal by each single order. Good spot for breakfast if you in town.

Decent bagel shop with good selection of soft bagels and various spreads/sandwiches. The outside seating is very nice.

Mediocre experience here. I only ordered one thing: Taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel, simple enough. I paid $6.50 for my sandwich even though it said $5.00 on the board. I looked past that but once I got to my sandwich I realized that they put bacon instead of Taylor ham. I specifically ordered and paid for a TAYLOR HAM egg and cheese, not bacon. I tasted my friends' (overpriced) paninis and they tasted like mushy garbage and had to be thrown out. Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

Tried this place up the block from my house today. Found 3 hairs in my one bagel. No thanks. Won't be going back

I've been there twice now since they have the best bagels and breakfast sandwiches in the area. I have had no problem with service either or presentation for that matter. I also had their chicken salad which was mediocre; same thing with the balsamic chicken. I will be returning for more breakfast sammiches read more

Yo this is the best Bacon Egg and Cheese on a bagel in the area hands down. These guys are certified OG's. The reason I know. My man is in there every single day at 4am shoveling out hot fresh pallets of bagels from the oven. The taste is undeniable. Lox and cream cheese bagel . Special lox sandwich, scallion, the paninis. Everything here is fire. You can't go wrong!!!! read more

Good bagels but expensive, cash only and the customer service is terrible. Also, store design is terrible so hard to move around when a few people in the store. read more

This place isn't very good. The service is atrocious. The owners stand around and chat with their friends the whole time, usually blocking others from ordering. The bagels are pretty good (the only reason for the 2nd star) but the rest of the selection is not great. read more

Good bagels. Love their tuna and its awesome on an everything bagel.

I have been buying bagels for our team members every Friday for years. Three star has delicious bagels. But the owner bites when let off his leash. Last Friday 5-26-2017 while I was making my routine bagel pick up at 620 am. I chose the few dozen mini bagels that we all love. As I began to pay, the owner asked my server "Did you tell him yet" The server replied "no" So the owner in a loud tone, so all could hear told me. " You need to call before you come and take all the mini bagels". Other customers want them too" " I will give you the phone number" I felt sudden shame then anger. I told him that he can take some bagels out of the bag or in fact he can have all the bagels back. He just walked away muttering under his breath. The really nice servers apologized for his behavior. But it was too much to be shamed by an business owner for buying too much product in cash to boot. I will never return to this store. Some advice for the owner, make some more mini bagels and leave the customers alone. read more

Definitely the worst experience I've ever had in the bagel shop the little Mexican girl at the register was very rude I understand it's a holiday but don't be mean to customers being mean to your management your greedy management read more

Best bagel store in the area. Their bagels are always fresh. I have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered. Saves me a trip from driving up to New City! read more

I can honestly say Three Star has some of the best bagels I've ever had. Cream cheeses are all fresh and the scallion cream cheese is highly recommended. Why not five stars? The space itself is a little tight...lots of squeezing around when it gets crowded on Sunday mornings...but that's a sign of quality. read more

Still coming back for more delicious and fresh bagels on Saturday mornings! Cannot beat the quality and their prices! Parking is simple and the staff is very attentive and friendly while ordering your meal. The outdoor seating as previously mentioned will be a must for next year as it is really in a good location. No compliants or mistakes in regard to anything I have gotten here! It has been less crowded there in recent weeks from what I have seen so I sat inside for the first time and everything turned out just fine. read more

The bagels are absolutely the best! But everything else is pricey and just okay. Do what we do--buy your bagels here and take them home to add your own cream cheese, butter, lox, or whatever. read more

I agree with all the other reviews about how good the food is. They really do have the freshest bagels around. I gave them two stars because every single time we order for delivery, the order is wrong. I work in an industry where I cannot leave my office before the next shift arrives, so our option is to get delvery. Again, the food is also very good (if you're willing to wait an hour + for the food) but it is always wrong in some way. I would go some other place but there really aren't any others around my area. read more
