Essex Bagels

We ordered two bacon, egg and cheese on plain bagels. They were absolutely terrible. Two pieces of really cheap quality bacon. After we got home I called the store to complain, and they didn’t really get it. They did not understand about quality sandwiches. They are very close to our house but we will not go there again. We will travel a little farther to get a better sandwich.

Just ordered a bagel at 11:20 AM today January 6, 2015 I go on their order a regular bagel with veggie cream cheese they failed to put on the gloves I go to take a bite out of it the veggie cream cheese and sour they then make me another one with regular cream cheese that’s our two so I can plan asked my money back and a gentleman that Easen gentleman has the nerve to say we just open this new place we bought it out from someone else and I said that doesn’t excuse you having sour cream cheese i’ll never go there again my stomach’s terms

Bagels are VERY good. Nice and soft which reminds me of New York. I think they should change their name and get a better sign outside to draw in more business.

From the outside, you wouldn’t think this local bagel spot has much to offer. They have a variety of the basics– sandwiches, salads, etc, lacking more so on the etc. I stopped in for breakfast. Not sure of what I wanted, I browsed the menu options posted behind the counter. Still unsure, I asked if they served omelettes, i mean it is a breakfast spot, right? Yes. I asked because its not listed on the menus posted. Ok. So… I’ll have a western w/​cheese. Assuming it would come with homefries, quickly added” it comes with toast, wheat or white” «Wheat-​of course ;).»
I was the only person there, I waited about 5 minutes, thats it? 5 minutes is ALL the time I can give since I’m always rushing and trust me I was Happy because most breakfast digs have me waiting 10 – 15 minutes, especially if you don’t order ahead. The lady behind the counter asked if I wanted a coffee, I agreed (cream and sugar, please)! The omelette was pretty tasty– onions, green/​red peppers, ham, topped with american cheese… you really can’t go wrong. Not runny, not overcooked, and portion wise was plentiful. The toast was fresh, with light butter. Although I am a moderate tea drinker, I even enjoyed the coffee!
4 stars– convenience, attentiveness, staff and POTENTIAL. This place could stand to update, expand their menu options. Will visit again!

Decent bagel, better toasted. Perfectly spread scallion cream cheese.
The wife had a breakfast sandwich she liked, they were open on Memorial Day at 1pm, good place in my book.

I had an egg & cheese on a roll. My husband had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. I thought the egg and cheese was great. The roll was soft and fresh and they didn’t skimp on the eggs. My husband thought the bagel was lacking a bit but overall, not a bad experience.
Extra points for being open on a holiday too!

The bagels themselves aren’t great, but they make a pretty good breakfast sandwich (I’ve switched to rolls instead of bagels here). Their biggest highlight is their enormous muffins — completely yummy and they always have a few fun choices. Friendly people too.

Nothing compared to Bakin” Bagels on Pleasant Ave.

Average local bagel shop with tons of parking in the morning. The strip that’s it located in is populated with half a dozen or so businesses, neither of which open until 11am. They carry 9 different varieties of bagels and 6 types of cream cheese. The breakfast sandwich is probably the best value here and they also offer a breakfast sandwich combo for $ 4.
I usually order a poppy seed bagel with scallion cream cheese and a carton of orange juice ($ 4.78). If you’re a milk drinker, think about picking it up at 7 – 11 or Lucky Stop because they don’t sell it here.
Counter service is friendly and there is a ledge with two stools if you’re not the «eat on the run» type of person.
Dunkin Donuts also serves bagels…
