Kinderkamack Hot Bagels

As you can see from my other reviews, I knew that this place has the best bagels but was put off by their lack of hygiene. Well, I ran into the owner in a local supermarket.
I stopped in one more time in early September and guess what? The employees now wear gloves when preparing the food and handling the bagels.
Now they get the 5 stars that they always deserved.

I’ve come a few times on a busy weekend and never had a paid much attention to the place.
Today I came in the late afternoon and had a few minutes to look as I waited for my bagel. What I witnessed was a LAYER of black dust on the deli counter, crumbs everywhere, the woman handling my bagel with her bare hands.
The health board should pay this place a visit. No thanks

Bagels are great, people are nice. But the place looks dirty. Look around and you can see years of grime. Reinvest some of your profit into your place.

Been going here for years and never had an issue until a few months ago.
Bagels are always great, fresh, and hot. The bacon egg and cheese is a great treat.
I came four times over the course of three weeks and had an issue each time.
I specifically asked for just salt and pepper and when I got home there was a ton of ketchup on the thing. They actually had the nerve to tell me there wasn’t any on there and asked him to show me the red eggs he’s using.
The next time I had the same issue, which isn’t the end of the world but annoying when you have to drive back and get a new one.
The last time was the straw that broke the camels back. I checked the sandwich in the car and it was missing the bacon. I walked back in and the guy gave me the dirtiest look. I asked if there was a problem due to the fact his employee had trouble making a bacon egg and cheese. The bacon was taken with his hand, placed on my bagel, and wrapped up.
That was it. Apparently asking for what I paid for is a problem. You’ve lost my business.

no gloves. not sanitary. the place is disgusting to say the least. Would not go there if they were free. See other reviews. No throw away paper. gross

Bagels are excellent — wish they would create a line for bagels only — sometimes takes too long getting stuck behind teens ordering 1 egg sandwich at a time

Great fresh bagels! It was a little difficult to find because it blends in so much with the places next to it but they’re bagels are delicious and only $ 0.80 per bagel!

Perfect bagels, great price. Clean, great parking. Will be back when I visit the folks again.

I come here every Friday for a whole wheat everything bagel. Bagels are just how I like them — very fresh, crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. My go-​to bagel spot in town.

The bagels are good no doubt, my only issue is the PARKING! It is absolutely atrocious. I have never experienced a parking lot like this, first of all it is on a hill and good luck maneuvering around it. And they’re credit card machine seems to be down a lot, very annoying for those of us who never carry cash on us.

This is my very favorite bagel shop! The bagels are delicious! I took some with me to college, cut them in half, and froze them. When I wanted to have one, I slipped it in the toaster oven and they still tasted delicious and fresh. The roasted red pepper cream cheese is my very favorite, but the veggie is delicious too!

One of the best, if not the best bagel store in NJ. The bagels are the perfect size and always crisp, fresh, and well seasoned. They focus on just bagels and nothing else unlike other bagel places, and it pays off. We have about 4 bagel stores closer to our house, but drive the extra few minutes every Saturday morning for this gem!

Best bagels in North Jersey — always hot and fresh. Staff is very friendly and super clean

Hands down one of the best bacon, egg & cheeses in the area. Bagels are fresh doughy and the eggs/​bacon are perfectly cooked. Guys behind the counter are always super friendly. Round out your order with a water and a gatorade and you have the perfect hangover cure.

Nice people, decent bagels. I haven’t yet been wowed by anything there, but it’s okay for a stop-​in.

Update — no more egg bagels — they weren’t popular enough. The other varieties are great though! I recommend trying them if you are in the area :)

Best bagels I’ve ever had. Very soft and fresh. A bit pricey though.

FINALLY! A bagel place whose prices are a fair reflexion of what you’re getting. Not to mention, they make a mean breakfast sandwich! This little shop may not win you over with their décor, but they certainly will with their bagels.
I got a taylor ham, egg, and cream cheese on an everything bagel. Might sound like strange combo to some, but hey: Don’t knock it ’till you try it! Pretty sure that set me back a whopping 3 bucks, not bad right? The bagel had a perfect texture, was noticeably fresh, and suuuper tasty. A perfect quick-​stop if you happen to be in the area and are looking for tasty breakfast on the go!

Local privately owned bagel spot. The boyfriend and I just stopped in and he grabbed 2 plain bagels toasted with butter. The half a piece that I had was actualyl pretty good. They weren’t rock hard or «raw». Nice breakfast deli.

About 10 bagel choices, which were cooked PERFECTLY. Super quick and accurate service, and nothing to complain about. We ordered 3 bagels with various spreads and a taylor ham, egg & cheese with mustard (the way to go btw), and everything was ready in under 3 minutes, plus cashing out.
You can’t ask for anything more.
