This was my first time visiting this location after living in Clifton since 1999. I always go to “Hot Bagels Abroad” for my breakfast sandwiches but decided today to try another location…..and I’m glad I did. Customer service was A1 (top tier) . The woman who assisted was very welcoming and friendly. I ordered a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich on a whole wheat bagel. My bagel was warm, eggs at a perfect temperature and cheese ratio was perfect. I enjoyed my bagel and will definitely be making another trip back soon.

Moved to TX and I’m visiting NJ recently and all I needed was a good bagel. This was perfect! Quality was amazing. Cute little mom and pop shop, sweet couple. Ordered a classic lox on an everything bagel toasted w scallion cream cheese and all the topping. It was so packed, flavorful, and perfectly put together. 10/10 and definitely hit the spot. Wish I could get good bagels like this in TX.

Bagels look anorexic, service was flat out horrible, and the place always looks dirty as hell. Simple order of 2 - Taylor Ham sandwiches (saying ONLY& Taylor Ham) turned into Taylor egg and cheese. Seems like no one gives a crap there. Please save yourself and go elsewhere.
