My favorite bagel stores in Monmouth County, NJ
The perfect spot for a bagel to eat on the beach. This cash only establishment is a Bradley Beach mainstay for a reason. Who doesn’t love a bagel at the beach?
BAGEL INTERNATIONAL & DELI - Updated June 2025
Arguably gimmicky, these bagels are for when you’re craving something over the top! Where else can you get an Oreo bagel when you need it the most?
The Bagel Nook
The best according to Monmouth county residents. Check out bagel time and deli in matawan! A classic for a reason
Bagel Time & Deli
Located on route 9 in Freehold, NJ, this place is always packed and for good reason! Yummy, fluffy bagels with a good exterior crunch. I love terrace bagels
Terrace Bagels & Cafe
This is my top suggestion if you are looking for a kosher bagel spot. No meat on the menu here! But they do have lox!
Yorktown Bagels & Bialys - Manalapan NJ, NJ
Mercer County

Tasty bagels and a Lawrenceville classic. Udons bagels are sure to please
Udo's Bagels
A classic NY (arguably NJ) style bagel that is sure to leave you satisfied
New York Bagel & Deli
A robbinsville favorite, this bagel shop stays popular for good reason with some truly yummy bagels
Bagels n' Cream

Bagel Pantry in Metuchen truly makes a damn good bagel! Be aware, it does get quite busy on weekends
Bagel Pantry
Also with a location in Old Bridge, bagel boys is one of my favs! Super tasty, hot, fresh bagels
Bagel Boys & Deli
Another local chain with a location in metuchen. Bagels 4 u are truly as the name says!
Bagels-4-U
This highly recommended spot in Dunnelen is popular for good reason! A true crowd pleaser for those in middlesex county
