D'Alessio's Bagel Express — Restaurant in Middletown Township

I had a job to do in Atlantic Highlands and stumbled across this place for breakfast sandwiches and I was hooked ever since. I've been back several times and every single thing we've ordered so far has been amazing. Everything from their cold subs to their cheesesteaks to their breakfast sandwiches All have been delicious. The one thing I was really happy with is when you get subs or cheesesteaks or sandwiches my biggest complaint is there lacking in subsidence. This was not the case. Every time I go there I can't finish my food and then have the joy of being able to eat it again later. I would highly recommend stopping by and grabbing some food.

I've had their cheesesteak and that thing is packed full of flavor and meat and that's one of my favorite sandwiches so I would disregard...

Review August 2020: Welp, found two separate pieces of hair on my bagel with lox cream cheese spread. First time at the bagel place and safe to say, the last time.

The bagel was just ok - nice crispy-ish outside, which is great, but the inside was very dense and sort of hard, like a dense bread. I prefer a crispy outside with chewier interior that tears apart. There are many ways to make a bagel, and many different preferences. It was expensive, too - $5 for a bagel with veggie cream cheese. At the bagel shop near my job (Somerset County) you can get a perfect bagel with a 1/2 cup of your cream cheese of choice, for almost half that price. The guys behind the counter seemed playful and nice. Although the bagels were not my favorite, they did look like they were making some good-looking subs. I won't be back for the bagels, but maybe I will try a...
