Three Star Bagels

My favorite bagel place in jersey, I live in Virginia now every time I go to jersey that place is my first. The owner and workers are extremely nice!

Out here visiting from Miami, found this place on Unilocal.Everything was grate from the service to the food. Got the BOBO bagel! Thinking of getting another one!

I won’t be revisiting this restraint again.
I went here with my girlfriend for some breakfast during our morning walk. We ordered a hot tea, nesquik, sausage egg and cheese, and Taylor ham and egg.
My girlfriend asked the old man working there if there was any honey for her tea and he said he doesn’t let customers have honey, all they do is make a mess. She then asked if he had any honey in the back. He gave the cup to the guys behind the counter who immediately started mocking her and they put about ¼ of the cup of honey which was obnoxious.
Mistake#2 they gave me a bacon egg and cheese instead of sausage egg and cheese. Fine, but the bacon was super fatty and greasy. Also the eggs were a little undercooked and slimy.
My girlfriend said her sandwich was ok at best.
I had hoped this would have been a good experience as its walking distance from my home, but I guess I’ll have to walk a bit farther.

Wow! Wish I had a bagel place like this near me in South Jersey.
Bagels were huge, light, and delicious. Owner is very friendly, staff was quick and helpful. Tons of cream cheese options, as well as sides/​salads and bagels. I can see this place getting packed fast! We got there at a good time, hardly any wait, but there was a line by the time we left.
I got a whole wheat bagel with scallion cream cheese and sliced turkey and tomato! Boom! Soooo good. Wish I had 2, then again they don’t hold back on the turkey or whatever meat you get. Bacon egg and cheese was huge as well!
Great lil spot in Teaneck if you are in the neighborhood.

Hand’s down Teaneck’s best bagel shop.
Whether it’s before a road trip, on your way to work, or just an early morning Saturday breakfast. Three Star Bagel is where you should go. The bagels are always fresh; the hot grill breakfast, bacon egg on roll falls right in line.
What more can I say, they’re goooood!

I’ve never had anything bad to eat, or been treated like anything less than family. I’ve been getting breakfast a few times a month from Mr. Cosmo for years.

My favorite bagel shop in the area. Minus one star for price. A lox bagel with cream cheese is &12 plus tax! It is delicious but expensive. The veggie cream cheese and bagel chips are good too.

They have cool cream cheese selections and lots of drinks. They also have a full grille

It hurts my heart to write this review as this WAS our go to bagel place in Jersey. On July 4^th my fiancé, daughter and I decided to go there for bagels. The food is always delicious but the service is questionable. Depending on which surly counter person you get, you better make sure you ask for everything up front. My fiancé had forgotten to tell them to toast my daughter’s bagel. The person serving us told him «no, why didn’t you ask when you ordered?» Really? My fiancé apologized and asked again if they could at least toast it on the grill. Again the same answer, but to add insult to injury, the usually nice owner chimed in and yelled at my fiancé repeating why didn’t we ask for it before. Now I ask you, what is the basis of customer service? I don’t believe it involves the customer apologizing and begging to have a bagel toasted. I was not surprised by the response of the counter person, but the owner’s response and how disrespectful he was certainly shocked me. Needless to say we left our entire order on the table and walked out.
As my fiancé stated «he will never darken their door again».

I was back recently and had a really excellent bagel and wonderful lox spread with giant pieces of lox. I have not ordered eggs again since that was my problem originally.

Thank you NJ Unilocal community for pointing me in the right Bagel direction. Visiting Teaneck from VT & had to have a coffee & bagel and Boxcar Bagel was my choice and they didn’t disappoint. In fact they amazed with kind, quick & courteous service with the line out the door! Egg & Cheese on an everything hit the spot! Nice touch with the ketchup salt and pepper suggestion!

It is time to finally post this long overdue review. I’ve tried many bagel places in the city and from comparison I’d say Three Star is a worthy competitor. I’ve been back about 4 times now, but my boyfriend is from the area and has been coming to the place since he was a kid.
The bagels are pretty good and would be considered 5 stars in Northern VA where I’m from, however they can’t touch the ones from Boxcar Bagels in Bogota. I won’t go on a rant about how good those are, but with that being said, will also make the claim that the breakfast sandwiches are better here (e.g. egg, cheese & _​_​_​_​_​meat) at Three Star. The middle seems more packed, a bit saltier, and greasier (in a good way). This could just seem* that way as Boxcar’s bagels are quite large, but that’s just my opinion.
The owner has always been really friendly and service is always quick. Highly recommended if you haven’t tried this place yet it!

Great breakfast/​lunch spot in the area! I drive 20 mins out of my way to eat here a few times a week! Specialty sandwiches are delicious & the tuna salad is my fav! Bagels are nothing shorter than great & fresh every time I visit. The chocolate crumb cake is moist and tasty. The coffee is always fresh! Ask the owner about catering a private event. I was there eating breakfast on thanksgiving and noticed he was catering thanksgiving dinners! They looked awesome! Anyways, always an A+ at 3 star.

BEST bagels in the area! Sandwiches are delicious. Generous portions and quality of the food is unparalleled. Their cinnamon raisin bagels are my favorite! Oh and their cream cheeses are homemade. I drive 25 minutes out of my way for these bagels. Don’t go anywhere else!
PS. Clearly some of the people on here don’t know what Unilocal really is, but when you have a small misunderstanding with an order, but the quality and freshness of the bagels are still top notch, you shouldn’t be giving a business 1 star out of anger. Just sayin!

The Owner is very rude and disrespectful to his customers. I have been a loyal customer for many years, unfortunately the owner has no appreciation for that. I made an order, there a was misunderstanding, as their menu and prices are very unclear. When I calmly explained that the order was not what I wanted, and asked to change the order to something else, the owner rudely interrupted stating «we don’t make 2 dollar sandwiches here!» I never asked for a 2 $ sandwich, I just wanted to change the incorrect order. He refused to help me and was extremely unprofessional. In addition, the bagels lately haven’t been the freshest and clearly they do not take constructive criticism very well. Steer clear of this place, who needs such a headache first thing in the morning.

Overpriced rude owners and staff make us go elsewhere. It’s a shame because the bagels are actually good.

I cannot tell you how many Bacon Egg and Cheese on salt Bagels I have had in this store over the last decade or 2, and that’s not counting all the bagels with cream cheese as well. GREAT BF Sandwiches, and they put a lot in their sandwiches too. Prices are good — been going there so long, most of the time the guys know what I am going to get as soon as I come in and its always Delicious. Owner is super friendly and is always willing to make your experience there be the best.

Biggest poppy seed bagel I’ve ever had in Jersey. Pricing is good and there are a ton of other breakfast and lunch options. I was also impressed with the diversity of non-​alcoholic beverages in the refrigerated cases. You can also do a little bit of grocery shopping here too, but I would only encourage in case of an emergency.
Not all is aces and eights at Three Star however, their home fries could use some work and their grill guy isn’t all that speedy. However, this is a Boar’s Head place so your long wait will be justly rewarded. Parking may be an issue with the storefront being on Cedar Lane. But that is no fault of ownership. So you may have to do a couple of circles around the block or park a block away.
The extra work is worth it though; I haven’t had a better bagel in all of New Jersey yet.
And I’ve been looking…

BEST BAGELS EVER. This place is only rivaled by H&H bagels in manhattan. Tip — go close to closing time and they will usually throw in some free bagels. Service is fast and friendly.

Great bagels and egg sandwiches! I love a bagel shop that offers turkey bacon!
Fast and friendly-​enough service.
