Have meant to write a review for this place for last couple months. Recently changed hands and of all the great bagel places down the shore and around Point Pleasant & Brick, this has quickly risen to the top as our go to favorite! That's not a knock on the others, there are some really good ones we love, but Dave and team have truly mastered their craft here.
First, the service both inside and on the phone for to go orders is second to none; always friendly, welcoming and treat everyone like a local. Coffee is really good, always hot and plenty of it. Second, their breakfast sandwiches and deli sandwiches are very good. Usually get a pork roll, bacon egg & cheese on toasted everything bagel and can barely finish it (most of the time my wife and I split it).
For the most important part of the review, the bagels. Don't know what it is about the bagels but they are just perfect. Not too soft or crisp, right in between, big enough without being monster big. Could easily eat 3-4 everything bagels but I'd be even heavier than I already am. Always fresh, perfectly cooked, just the right amount of flavor and again, not too big. Normally I'm a more is better guy so bigger, the better. But with bagels, these are just the right size and the flavor is just unmatched. Def our spot to go to for bagels on the weekend; great selection of bagels and fresh schmears.
Great service, even better food; inside is simple with a few tables as well as some tables outside if the weather is nice. Highly recommend trying this spot, have a feeling they will get busier and busier as people figure out they don't want to wait in line at some of the more well known bagel spots and figure out the quality here is just as good,...
Read moreThe Best Bacon & Egg Bagel I’ve Ever Had 🔥🥯🍳🥓 I don’t say this lightly: this was hands down the best bacon and egg on a bagel I’ve ever eaten — and I’ve had my fair share.
From the first bite, it was clear this wasn’t your average breakfast sandwich. The bagel itself? Freshly baked, with that perfect balance of chewiness and crunch — I went with an everything bagel, which added just the right amount of flavor and texture.
Then came the eggs — fluffy, cooked just right, not too dry, not too runny. But the real game-changer? The bacon. Crispy but not burnt, smoky, thick-cut, and layered generously (no sad single-strip situation here). Combined with melty cheddar cheese and a touch of house-made aioli (or hot sauce, depending on your pick), it was next-level delicious.
It’s the kind of sandwich that makes you stop mid-bite and go, "oh wow."
This place knows how to elevate the basics into something unforgettable. If you're even thinking about a breakfast bagel, just go. You...
Read moreHave been on the hunt for a good bagel spot. To preface my family and I do not enjoy super big huge bagels as they often are tasteless. I tried out all star bagels in the beginning of the summer and it was delicious!!! But then I recently ordered for pick up at least 7 different bagels/sandwiches and WOW. The whole order was correct and the bagels did not disappoint. The bagels were normal sized, fluffy (but not too big) and packed with flavor. Sesame bagel had so many sesame seeds. The cinnamon raisin bagel had beautiful cinnamon notes and wasn't underwhelming like many are. You can tell this place cares about the bagels they serve. 100% has now become...
