I travel all around NJ for work, so I've tried many bagel places. I've only been to one other bagel place that has shocked me with the quality and fluffiness of their bagels, and this one just made the Top 2. A great bagel is something you don't forget! This place makes their own bagels, and they're huge, fluffy, and have a slight crunch on the top outer most part of the bagel which surprised me because it's everything you want in a bagel. I had a pork roll egg and cheese on a plain bagel, and it was excellent! 👌 I have no complaints. A definite must try if you're traveling from out of state and want to see why they say NJ and NY make the best bagels in the country.

Returning the East Coast, I had to have a real bagel. I happened to be in Northern NJ and this place was located few miles from NY/Nj border. The place is very busy with a lot of locals visiting. The badges are good, a large side. I had a lox sandwich and it was great. Other bagels I took home were all good.

Let me tell you, Jersey bagels are the top of the top and Bagel Train definitely represents Jersey like no other! The bagels are always fresh and fluffy and the staff working there are super friendly!! It might look extremely busy but trust me they move their line incredibly well. If you are in the area, definitely check them out!

The Bagel Train experience, as I call it is definitely One of a Kind!!! I have been buying bagels and coffee here 25 years now and it’s a Family Tradition like no other to visit this glorious place at least once a while and get the heavenly foods there. I am not exaggerating but their bagels are the BEST you will ever have! Today my experience was even more amazing, as I ordered the famous bagel sticks, which they do not have every day and they are only available upon prior order. I waited an hour to pick up what I considerer the most satisfying food ever❤️ These super hot, straight from the oven god’s creations were beyond delicious and satisfying! I surprised my family with an amazing breakfast and again this one of a kind experience. I thank the owners of Bagel Train for never changing their recipes and for making thousands of people happy each month with their amazing foods. SIMPLY ICONIC SPOT.

Literally the best bagel place around. Always fresh. The actual shop is small and can get extremely crowded with long lines. But totally worth the wait. Staff is super friendly. 5/5 and highly recommend! (Whether it’s Taylor ham and cheese, scallion cream cheese, lox, etc… never a bad experience).

Bagel Train is by far THE BEST bagels in the state of NY. I moved out of NY but literally thd second I come back to visit I HAVE to go by there to get a bagel with cream cheese. It's that good! Due to covid, they now have rules in place to limit the number of people insidd..this is a huge difference from the norm because usually they are packed with people inside. This was okay because I must have come at the right time. The two times I stopped by it was only a short wait to get inside. They also have the perfect line up of chips and drinks. I always grab a bag of tipsy doodles because they dont sell them where I live now. Needless to say..they didnt disapoint..I got a plain bagel with cream cheese the first time, and a blueberry with cream cheese the second time. Both were amazing! I also got a half dozen to take home and freeze. I'd have done more if I werent watching the amount of bread I'm eating. I could literally eat one of those bagels everyday. I highly recommend this place... you wont be disappointed and will find yourself going back every chance you get like me.

As native New Yorker these bagels are the real deal. Crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside. Good choice of spreads. Argo e gets a three star since they forgot to pack my $10 bagel and lox and charged me for it.

The bagels are ok, but everything seemed to be a bit too done. I like my bagels toasted if they aren't directly from the oven and still hot, the outside wasn't too dark but toasting it made it super crunchy - and not like what you'd typically expect from toasting a bagel. The bacon was almost burnt and a bit too salty, and the hash browns were almost burnt as well. The cinnamon twist was good as is, but I think it would be even better if it was warm. It also weighed a ton, so it's a very substantial pastry. I enjoyed watching them boil, season, and then bake the bagels right behind the counter! They were filling up the bins straight from the oven and if they hadn't been so busy I would have gotten back in line to try a fresh, warm bagel. I'll definitely go back and give it another try because I've heard great things about their bagels.

Went a couple weeks ago stood by the counter and was ignored, one of the workers allowed another customer behind me to take their order. I ended up paying $18 for a Taylor ham egg and cheese on a bagel with a vitamin water !!! Went today , same thing. Stood by the counter waiting for my order to get taken was ignored. Lady talked to someone behind me , he walked up and took his order instead of mine when I’ve been standing there for 3 min. After that I walked right out. Really not trying to bring race into this but both times the guys were Hispanic and im a white female and the workers are Hispanic. It’s like none of them cared to even take my order when I’m literally up against the counter waiting. Rather spend my money else where that is actually deserved.

I have held my tongue for far too long but this is where it crosses the line. This is my 3rd time visiting in 3 months. I used to visit every week. People are NOT happy working there. I order smoked salmon and get charged premium price for 2 slices? This place used to be extremely special. I have reached out multiple times to the bagel train email and who ever to talk to someone but I never have been reached out to. Officially done eating here unless someone there can truly change my mind. There is no employee engagement, it feels dreary and the service is subpar now. No one cares and I can see it with how they all act like it is the customer bothering them. You hate to see it. here is my $13 breakfast bagel with lox
