Bagel Twist & Deli — Restaurant in Teaneck Township

Know before you come: CASH ONLY

Bagel Twist & Deli has the look, feel, and energy of a dependable neighborhood joint. For breakfast and quick sandwich meals, this unassuming restaurant has become my go-to spot.

Inside, the space is fairly large, with an L-shaped counter that receives orders, displays deli offerings, and daily bagel and roll availability. There's also a small counter space in the corner of the restaurant for those dining in.

On most mornings, I've placed orders for basic breakfast sandwiches, and I've been generally happy with them. But don't stop with breakfasts. Most recently, I took a chance on their fun sandwich menu, many of which sport fun names like 'The Vegas' and 'The Batman'. I ordered the latter, and found it to be a hearty sandwich. The grilled chicken breast was warmed, the vegetables fresh, and I enjoyed that they offer macaroni salads as one of the side options.

While I wouldn't say these are the best bagels in the land, or the most innovative sandwiches I've ever had, I'm hardly disappointed with my meals here. Service is fast and all orders are prepared fresh. Business has been brisk every time I've stopped in, with both in-person and phone orders quickly queuing up . I see this as another sign that there's a larger crowd that trusts this restaurant with their morning and...

I ordered some deli meat a quarter pound worth. No problem right? I go to pay with my card when I noticed a cash only sign by the register. Keep in mind there are two lanes. One for ordering the other to pay. They don't have a sign in the ordering lane saying cash only before ordering and don't mention it when placing the order. I didn't have cash and they told me there is an ATM. What if I didn't have an ATM card? You just made something for nothing. Put a sign there when someone orders or better yet tell your employees to mention it before placing the order. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't tell you so you feel bad because you already ordered it and they made it so now you're stuck having to use their ATM which they probably own or get a cut from if they don't own it. It's shady as hell. It was my first time there and my last hope it was worth the $2.50 you made from the 🏧. What I bought cost $2.75. It cost more than double what I bought between the ATM fee and what the bank charges to use the ATM. Well they lost a potential repeat customer.

Well you're welcome Googlers and remember if this helped hit the useful button. Remember e nice...

The bagels are the best in the area. I hate that they only take cash and the prices are not competitive but when your bagels are this good I guess people give you leeway! Update: I'm absolutely reeling right now and feel forced to reduce my rating by at least one star. Usually I just bought bagels, and we put shmear and fixings on the bagels at home. Well the other day I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and it came with the absolute thinnest, driest, can't-even-be-called-a-spread amount of cream cheese. As someone who spent the better part of a month determining the best bagel place in the area, I felt betrayed and cheated that these people have made me a liar to my friends and loved ones. I had been recommending this place and now come to find out, they've been making me look like a no-nothing gentile to anyone who ordered a bagel with shmear. I don't remember the last time I have been so shocked and disappointed.
