Bagels n' Cream

Update: stopped in with my son today, there were signs stating that their prices went up but no update of the price board. Talk about price gouging! They raised the price of a bagel with bacon, egg & cheese from $4.75 to $7.00! I won't be back there again with that ridiculous price jump. I get inflation but that is highway robbery! They are good but not that good! Customer lost!

Their bagels and breakfast sandwiches are great, they occasionally mess up a little but with as busy as they are I guess a small mistake isn't the end of the world. This is a cash only establishment so don't go in with an empty wallet.

This is one of the best bagel places in NJ/NY hands down! Truthfully, I’ve always enjoyed these bagels and their specialty cream cheeses- they’re chock full of flavor and the cream cheeses are artfully made with lots of big chunks of whatever you order in it (for me, it’s jalapeño). I am writing today because I am just utterly so grateful and amazed at the experience we had this Sunday. My husband and I walked by at 4:00 pm when the store closed an hour ago- when we realized, we started to walk away. The owner of the store invited us to order and was so generous and kind to us- patiently had his staff prepare our bagel while we chatted. The owner was so kind and friendly and while we were chatting about the increasing costs of everything, he explained how he would not pass down his increased costs to customers. He was truly so wonderful to us- we always supported Bagels and Cream because of the quality but now, we will continue to support it because of the amazing owner and staff AND quality!

now only take cash due to “credit card processing fees” (not an issue with other small businesses in the area), but don’t worry, they have an ATM (with a $2.50 withdrawal fee). stopped coming here when they first tried passing processing costs off to the consumer with a $0.50 card transaction fee, which wasn’t even close to reasonable.

the bagels are great though. the service is sometimes slow, but it’s understandable given the times

came here a while ago with my coworker when our schools had a delayed opening. we both really enjoyed everything. i recently came back, everything was just as wonderful as last time! great service and great food! happy to say i have a new place i can go to for bagels! will definitely be back (:
