The Bagel Station

Bagels are good but very messy. Fingers are greasy trying to type this review. Extremely disappointed.

Coffee is great. The bacon and double egg on a bagel is perfect. I only pass there about 7 or 8 times a year and i always stop.

It took about good 25 minutes to make one plain bagel toasted with butter for my son today. It was not even crowded, actually two to three people, yet they just ignored my son’s order until we asked three times. Is it because my son is teenager or is it racism? Ruined my busy Saturday schedule because of one «one bagel toasted with butter». It better be damn good since it took almost 30minutes to prepare.

The food here is always great. They now have a 10 $ min on credit debit which isn’t a big deal however my total rang up to 9.84 I understand the 20 $ rule, what aggravated me is they screwed up my order. I requested a Taylor ham hash brown n cheese I got egg on my sandwich I did not order egg. And had I been charged for everything on the sandwich I would not have had to buy extra items to meet the 10 $ rule

I was in the area going to the Abbey Glen pet cemetery. Everything sucked that morning and I remember passing this place and it said the Best Bagels in NJ. Yeah Right!!! Whenever I see a place that makes this claim, it’s almost a guarantee that they’re overrated or they legitimately suck.
On the way home from the pet cemetery we stopped here because we were starving. I expected the bagel and coffee (which said the best coffee in nj on the container) to taste like cardboard and black water, respectively. Happy to say my expectations were wrong! I had a Black Russian toasted bagel with walnut raisin cream cheese and it was the best bagel I’ve had in NJ (or anywhere else). The coffee was pretty good too.
Great bagels, decent prices… There’s a large selection of muffins, cookies and a deli so I’ll definitely stop in every time I am in the area.

It’s a bagel shop so let’s remember the expectations are not huge. Bagel Station had the best bagels in the county for a long time. Just a guess but I do not think they have the same person making the bagels that had been doing it for some time and while the bagels are good they aren’t as great as they used to be. The long time short order cook is also gone. He was a gem always willing to insure your satisfaction. They can do a better job on the sanitary side. Workers sometimes wear gloves but take money and prepare bagels with the same gloves. Good variety of coffee and drinks. Priced to keep people in Sussex County happy.

I would never eat from here again. Unsanitary. I ordered three hot sandwiches and one bagel with cream cheese. I see the female owner preparing the bagel with cream cheese with no gloves on and she got cream cheese on both of her fingers. She proceeds to insert each finger into her mouth and suck the cream cheese off of her fingers. She proceeded to place her sucked on fingers onto the bagel and cuts the bagel in half and wrapped it in the tissue paper. I told the girl who took my order that I do not want that bagel and she asked me why. I told her that I just saw the owner suck the cream cheese off of her fingers and place them back onto the bagel.
The girl walked over to the owner and told her that the young lady at the counter does not want the bagel and the owner asked her why. She explained. The owner looked over at me and said «Oh honey this is not yours,» and she handed the bag with the bagel in it to another customer. So I asked her, «You didn’t see anything wrong with what you just did?
So I told the young lady at the counter that I do not want that woman making my bagel with cream cheese because her hands are definitely not clean. So the young lady made my bagel with cream cheese. I watched my bagel being made, got my hot sandwiches, paid and left.
I should have called the Board of Health.
When you go in there you’ll notice that they do not wear gloves and the woman owner is rude. I will not going there anymore after seeing that they suck the cream cheese off of their fingertips (especially after handling dirty money in the register) God knows what else they do.

Best bagels! Huge sandwiches! For almost in the middle of no where, one of the best bagels I’ve had since living in Brooklyn.:-) Friendly staff, quick service.

By far one of my favorite breakfast places in the area! There bagels are delicious along with their muffins and each of their breakfast sandwiches. I promise you will not be disappointed.
Just keep in mind if you spend under $ 10 this place is cash only. There is am ATM on site but of course it comes with ATM fees. Also depending on what side of route 15 you are driving down this place can be difficult to turn into so just be careful.

I love their bagels! They are a great place to stop in for breakfast. It is not as clean and I would like, which is a little concerning when you think about where your food might be.

I’d give it a ZERO if I could. Absolutely the WORST customer service of any establishment I’ve ever been in. I’d give them five stars for rudeness. Just HORRIBLE.

Love their bagels and breakfast sandwiches!

You won’t find better selection of bagel and spreads other than this place! IT IS AMAZING!!! Soooo delicious!!! Could have breakfast here every day!!!

Its hit or miss here, depending on whose cooking! The bagels are great here but their breakfast sandwiches can be fabulous or lousy. First off they forgot to make my bagel sandwich, and they were not busy at 6:15am on Monday Aug 31^st. Finally as one of the girls noticed I was standing around for quite some time…, she asked another girl to make it. Once in my car, my scrambled egg, cheese, crispy bacon on a everything bagel, had no cheese and barely cooked bacon! So disappointing as the last time I was there and older gentleman made the best egg sandwich I ever had. Wake up people!

This place is the fucking tits. The bees knees, the cat’a pajamas. However you put it, these bagels are more delicious than a bottle of whiskey after a bad divorce.

HANDS DOWN the best bagels I’ve ever had! I was lucky enough to grow up in the area, so we stopped by Bagel Station all the time. Now that I’ve moved away, I always make it a point to stop by when I’m in the area. You will not be disappointed if you stop in!

Really great variety of breakfast options. The French toast bagel with butter is amazing, and their recipe is something you don’t find at most other bagel shops. Also a good selection of coffee and tea options. The staff are a little hit or miss and not the friendliest people. They seem to treat you as just another number and not like a valued customer. That’s the only major negative about this place but if you go in just looking for a good bagel or sandwich you’ll likely be satisfied.

One of the top bagel places in the county gets slammed on weekends. Better than the bagels are the sandwiches.
Top rating for the bagel dogs, and the crumb cake makes other area bagel spots and bakeries jealous. Go for apple or raspberry if they’ve got it when you stop in.

Ambiance/​Décor/​Atmosphere: Deli-​esque with minimal table top seating if you want to eat your food inside. Pretty small overall, only about four tables give or take. Inside isn’t highly decorated, but what there is, is a bunch of famous movie stars from various films.
Noise/​sound level: Not too loud, but since it’s small and the line is always long you will hear everyone’s conversation. Plus, the locals have staring problems so mind your conversation or you might end up in a scene from Deliverance.
Menu: Bagels, muffins, cookies, and various deli style breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Not a real big menu, which is posted as a board on the wall, but the selection is pin point accurate.
Service: Extremely slow and apathetic. The owner might care you’re a patron, but no one else does. On more than one occasion I had to repeat myself just to get my bagel toasted; order accuracy is not a strong point.
Food: Cookies and muffins are pretty tasty, but sorry, the bagels are gummy and chewy. I nearly blew a bubble last time I ate a bagel here. If your namesake revolves around bagels they better be fresher, tastier, and more appealing to eat than a $ 1.50 bag of Lenders, but unfortunately to me they are not.
Bar: None
Price: Expensive for what they serve. I guess the wannabes on the wall inflated someone’s ego here and higher prices was the result.
Overall: I’ve frequented Bagel Station for eight years straight, and at first the bagels were awesome. Not sure what if anything changed, but I absolutely hate them now. Also, the awkward vibe the locals give off when you visit the place makes ordering and eating there uncomfortable. So, given that I won’t return for what I consider poor quality bagels.

Aside from the cardboard bagels sold at Dunkin Donuts, I thought all bagel shops tasted relatively the same. That’s until I tried The Bagel Station. There really is something amazing about these bagels. They’re so fresh and crisp. Great flavors and exceptional service. They’re packed in the morning so call ahead!
Oh and do yourself a favor and buy their Crumb Cake, or any of their bakery items. It’s the best crumb cake I’ve ever had in my entire life. Tell Buddy over at the ever so famous «Carlos Bakery» (Hoboken) to take a few notes.
