I was raised in Hackettstown, NJ and was home for my Dad's funeral. There are certain foods that I always get when I am home and a pork roll, egg, and cheese is a MUST. I went to the Bagel House and was not disappointed. It was delicious. Of course when in Rome (the old saying) I got a dozen bagels with cream cheese. They too were delicious. The salt ones have always been my favorite and they still are after trying theirs. The employees were abundant and very helpful. The wait was longer than expected but I did go at prime time (morning) and all employees were hopping. There was no one standing around so it was fine because of the circumstances of time I went. The menu items were abundant and sounded all so appetizing. This place needs to expand their building in my opinion because it is delicious, a crowd favorite, and has a dedicated following. The parking was challenging as well but worth it for my bagel fix. Great job Bagel House. I got my bagel fix when home because Texas doesn't have bagels like this. Would have loved to take some home and even looked if they could be shipped but unfortunately they couldn't be. I will be back when I go back home in June. Thank you for a great experience!

I don't give 5 stars much but this place is phenomenal! The bagels are SO fresh, SO delicious and the staff is perfection. The best thing you can do is order online because most of the time this place is jam packed! But it really never takes too long for your order even if you order there. I love the sausage egg and cheese bagel sandwich, the French toast bagels and any bagels to take home with scallion cream cheese! Just delicious! Best bagel place around.

Best Bagels in Warren County ! Excellent food and services ! There can definitely be a line so order ahead. Highly recommend!

This place is very nice and the ambiance is of the present. The displays are very nicely set and crew moves along quite well. I have had many bagels and the bagels are just ok. They taste more like a buttered roll but they were ok. I have been here about 4 times and they get the job done!

I'll start with the negatives. 1) Parking was meh. Only a few spots. You COULD park on the side street but you have to swing around the block to get to it. 2) The place gets so busy (hence, no parking) and you're all jammed in the tiny place waiting on your order WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING. I know, first world problems but geez. The positives. 1) LOTS to choose from. Not just bagels. Croissants. Muffins. Cookies. Biscuits. A HUGE assortment is bagels. A HUGE assortment of cream cheeses. Breakfast sandwiches. Lunch sandwiches. Etc. LOTS. 2) Service was nice. The lady who fixed my order was so sweet. 3) DELICIOUS!! I realize I only got a rainbow bagel & walnut cream cheese but it was soooo good. If they can do the basics right, then they win in my eyes. 4) Very generous with their portions. My bagel was a nice size and so was the schmeer of cream cheese. 5) The price was decent. My belly was satisfied!

Really cool spot with an abundance of options to choose from. I've never seen so many specialty bagel sandwich options to choose from before! I got really excited when I saw all kinds of bagels with different colors and ingredients and so many spreads to choose from as well. Service was prompt but line and paper number system felt a bit disorganized. It was nice inside, but no place to sit and very very hot inside. The bagel sandwich and croissant I got were both incredible!

I love everything about this place! 1. Deliciously textured, giant bagels that are perfectly dense/chewy. Who wants to bite into a bagel so dense that it will injure your jaw or tear out your filling?!? They are rolled, boiled and baked right in front of your eyes. 2. There is a huge assortment of well made cream cheese flavors to try. Their vegetable cream cheese is wonderful, with all of the fresh veggies cut into tiny pieces or shredded. I hate when I go somewhere and I get a giant chunk of something in my cream cheese. 3. Love the ambiance. The space is clean, bright and well laid out. Menus are neat and easy to read. Bagel variety's are on full display and easy to read. 4. I completely disagree with other reviews regarding the ordering process. Even though the place was very busy on a Saturday morning, I felt like I got my order in a very timely manner. I found the order taker to be competent and quick and you get a receipt with your number on it that they call out when your order is ready. Couldn't be simpler. They also offer Colombe Coffee products and breakfast sandwiches cooked to order. I cannot wait to come back for my next bagel fix.

Just about everything is perfect about this bagel shop. Bagels have a wonderful texture and flavor and are a great size. Selection is good. It would be nice if they added power bagels to their selection for when I'm looking for a little fiber and nuts. Orders are always done correctly. The only down side is their pork roll. It tastes more like Lebanon bologna and has black peppercorns in it. I didn't like it at all. Change to a more traditional pork roll like a Taylor Ham and the rating goes to a 5-star.

The best bagels in NJ are in Phillipsburg. Not gonna debate it - save your energy. I'm already sad I live 40 minutes away - don't need your negativity adding to my despair. #1 the shop is cute. I know that's like not scientific or whatever but too many shoppes have decided good bagelry (absolutely a word) is incompatible with design elements. #2 they are very clearly mixing, rolling, boiling, and baking the bagels right in shop. Nothing shipped in, nothing frozen, nothing stale. You can see folks working as you wait. I didn't take pics because that's weird and invasive. #3 the actual process is so smooth. We got 2 hot bagel sandies and a snack bagel (one thing about me I'm gonna have a snack on deck). Everything was ready in under 5 minutes. Cheese melted perfectly. Sosig savory and hot. You order and pay at the same time. The young person working the counter was excellent at keeping orders straight and the line moving. It all seems so simple but shoppes in my neck of the woods haven't figured that out yet - which is why I drove to dang near Pennsylvania for bagels. #4 French toast bagels. This is my all time fave bagel. A lot of people don't know this about me but I like things sweet lmao. Theirs has an incredible brown sugar crust that caramelizes once toasted. Sent me to orbit. My fave taste combo is sweet and savory and lord was this it!! #5 rainbow bagels. As your resident queer anytime I see a rainbow bagel I'm buying, though I always find them lacking flavor and dependent upon the fun color scheme to drive the purchase. These rainbow bagels actually tasted great. If this is the base for their plain bagels, then hit me up with a bakers dozen. My only complaint is that they appear to use unsalted butter and I think when you have bread you need the salted butter to break it up and add depth of flavor. That said, this place is outstanding.
