This location is great, finally had to post a review and give them their 5 stars. Everyone there is kind and hardworking. I’ve tried so many bagel places in Delaware, but the Original Hot Bagels is genuinely the best. Every flavor of bagel and cream cheese is delicious. Also, they actually cook their bacon CRISPY, so extra stars for that. Amazing breakfast sandwiches, can’t give’em enough praise.

What is Worth Choosing: Why The Original Hot Bagels is the Delaware Favorite
Choosing The Original Hot Bagels is choosing a commitment to quality that is recognized by the local community. For Delawareans, this shop represents the best fusion of authentic bagel preparation and a vast, satisfying menu. The core value is evident in the product: a truly fresh, delicious bagel is the basis for everything they serve. This is what makes a seemingly simple item like a bagel with Plain Cream Cheese ($5.64) or the full Sliced Lox And Plain Cream Cheese ($14.15) such a worthwhile choice.
However, the value proposition dramatically increases when you consider their savory options. The enthusiastic customer reviews confirm that their breakfast sandwiches are a must-try. Whether you opt for the Meat Egg And Cheese ($8.74) from the hot breakfast menu or the slightly larger portion from the HB HOT CLASSIC selection, you are investing in a superior start to your day. They also offer hard-to-find local favorites like a Side Of Scrapple ($4.31) and Side Of Taylor Ham ($4.31), catering directly to regional tastes.
Furthermore, their extensive HB SPECIALS (FRIES) menu—which includes hearty options like the Reuben Pastrami (Special) ($12.82) and the Hot Turkey (Special) ($12.82)—ensures that the quality and variety extend well into the lunch hour, making it a reliable destination for a complete mid-day meal. For office managers or hosts, the availability of comprehensive catering, like the Express Pack Tray (Bagels Precut) ($40.25), makes event planning simple and delicious. Ultimately, what is worth choosing is the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are getting fresh ingredients, friendly service, and the genuine "best bagel place in the area," as stated by the locals themselves.

Best bagel place in the area! Their breakfast sandwiches are freaking amazing. Fresh baked bagels and fresh ingredients. Very friendly staff! They will bend over backward to make sure you are a happy customer. Definitely give them a try. You won't regret it! Tell me that the sandwich doesn't look good. Yum yum!
Mar 6 · Ryan T (Tots)I order from here quite often and the food is always amazing. I picked up my order today (normally do delivery) and the staff were busy with a group of waiting customers and they were all pleasant and calm. Communicating with waiting people and everything.
Mar 2 · Kaitlyn McDonaldWhat the heck the way they treated me today was horrible and I ordered exactly at 7am and order here often say three times a week! My husband picked up Starbucks in Hockessin and then I ordered. They advised that they had just opened and that it would take approximately 15 minutes. I explained my husband had a meeting however, could they please rush I received a text from my husband at 7:06 explaining that they hadn’t had bagels delivered yet and could I please come back out so he can go home and prep. No problem I advise him and I got back in my car and went to the shop. I I arrive there at 7:18. I was given my husband‘s sandwich. However, when I asked about my plain cheddar bagel, I was told there were no cheddar bagels. I then said I will take another bagel. I see you have egg This was with the tall young blonde man. However, then a young man who is shorter with dark hair told me I would not be allowed to get any bagel for me and that I would be able to get a refund.. I said I see bagels can’t I just get any bagel for my breakfast? What about me? And he advised no sorry I cannot give you a bagel so here I am at 7:24 almost home and I have no breakfast. It’s why I gave the food one star I can’t even tell you today what it would taste like and this customer service is unacceptable! I can’t understand how they took an order allowed me to go and come back and then REFUSED to give me the order. They certainly didn’t value my time or my business and proved it by their actions. I guess they get so busy it doesn’t matter how they treat people.We just received a response and an apology. We will see what happens next time and we will possibly revise review. We will keep you posted!Here we go AGAIN! Another day where I waited almost 23 minutes for three breakfast sandwiches. They are nice people however I watched what happened and they forgot my order! Saying sorry doesn’t cut it when you have raised prices to $7.59 for a bagel with meat and cheese breakfast sandwich. Not an offer for a bagel or a juice nothing just oh yes sorry!Went here for fresh bagels and a poppy seed with sausage, egg and cheese bagel sandwich. The prices aren’t cheap however the quality is very good and the bagels are very fresh. While not made there they are delivered. They have lots of cream cheese varieties and cold drinks and coffees. It’s a great weekend treat
Feb 25 · Barbara Lindner (Travelling Wife)Appreciate you taking the time to respond. I wish you and your family all the best with your business. Not looking for compensation, just hope this incident will trigger better quality control measures to avoid any future incidents.First time visiting, in search of New York style bagel. Simple order, but was mixed up. Got home to enjoy bagel and bit into large piece of plastic in cream cheese.
