E Street Bagels — Restaurant in Wall Township

Updates below. We used to like this local bagel shop for breakfast. But over time have changed our minds.

Another try, another update. Went to get a simple breakfast order of lox and cream cheese on a bagel. Got it then left, only to find we'd received a bagel with lox spread. Brought it back. My daughter explained their mistake, and they created a new, correct bagel. But made her pay full price for it. We're done. No more E Street.

E Street is not just a tribute to the "Boss" and where his band practiced in Belmar. It's a Tribute to the history of bagel making. No I-pads or computer's here. Just old school pen and paper keep it quick and efficient. No waiting around for an order to be typed in before anyone is allowed to start fulfilling your order. They keep it simple and keep the...
