Boomerang Bagels — Restaurant in East Brunswick Township

What an absolutely wonderful breakfast spot! What a beautiful place in general. From the cleanliness to the atmosphere to the people behind the counter, I had an amazing experience. I called in and Nakul at taking my order with efficiency enthusiasm and kindness. I had originally told him I was going to eat it there so when I came in and he was prepared to hand me the order he said oh for here right because it was in a bag which not only shows me that he pays attention but that he also truly cares what he's being told period. Super nice young gentleman and when I told him I do actually now I want to take it to go, I struck up a conversation with Suman, who's not only absolutely beautiful externally but just is beautiful internally. As I usually don't know when to be quiet and can talk forever; I don't however leave this long of a review but I just want whoever reading this to know Boomerang Bagels is a 5 out 5! I'd give him an absolute 10 if I could!! I didn't get to speak to Satish or Dawood but if there are any reflection of Nakul & Suman, I can sure you that you're in great hands! So go get a bagel and coffee and maybe even strike up a conversation, I promise you'll leave better than you felt and with a full belly! Coffee's great now often to try my bagel....

A great little place for bagels, with an interesting array of specialty bagels like french toast, spinach, corn, etc. The bagels are super fresh and yummy. I've bought them by the dozen before for events and everyone raves about how good they are. The price for bagels is reasonable, but tubs of butter or cream cheese are a bit pricey compared to if you picked them up at a grocery store. A large refrigerated section has a variety of drinks (e.g., Snapple, chocolate milk, etc.) and there are chips and other pre-packaged snacks to pick up if you so desire. There's also a brunch menu with a variety of sandwiches to choose from, though I haven't used that enough to really comment on. The only weird thing is that they take your order but don't ring you up until the food is actually ready, which ends up making the ordering process take a bit longer (an issue if you're in rush, i.e., trying to grab a quick bite on the way to work) and also makes for a weird spatial flow if there are other people behind you who are then placing orders before you've been able to pay for yours. (Don't have an interior picture of the place, but here's a platter of bagels at one of the events I've brought them to, as mentioned in...

• JULY 2023 * OK folks. I am updating my review as Boomerang seems to have corrected their situation. I did, after my March 2 star review try just about every bagel place around. I did not find one that was as good tasting - and I was freaking out (researching how to make my own.) I am glad to say, therefore, that they seem to have correct their evil ways in regards to quality and upped their quality game. Their bagels look like bagels again! And I think they are the best tasting around.

"WOULD IT DO IT AGAIN?" Would I order from them again? YES. I order from these folks at least weekly. I'll let you know if they take another dive in quality.

• MARCH 2023 2 STARS. My rating for them since 2019 has been a 5 star. No longer. Not sure what is happening with Boomerang. I've exclusively used them for years now at least once weekly. Recently their product has been really bad. The bagels are malformed. They are inconsistently baked (one part light with other parts closed to burned.) The bagels do not fit in the toaster properly and are so uneven you can not get them to toast correctly. I am close to not using...
