Dunellen Bagel

Small, cozy bagel shop with an amazing staff. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the experience even better. The bagel itself was very good and high quality, though if I am being picky, it did not fully hit that classic New Jersey bagel standard. Still, between the great service and the overall quality, it absolutely deserves five stars. I would definitely come back.

I never used to come here until last year. A wonderful local joint for great breakfast. I usually come on the weekends since they close around 1pmish. My go to is the Big Breakfast. Pay in cash and save. Support your local business! Delicious food and great service. Never had a bad time here. There’s seating outside if you prefer to eat there. The coffee is good, too! It’s from Law Coffee. A business that actually got started in Dunellen!

Stopped in today for bagels, got turned off by the counter help, girl walks up to help me scratching her pierced ear, i just looked at her but didn't say anything, as she encounters me with a can I help you she continues to scratch her face and her forehead, no gloves nothing, didn't even proceed to wash her hands with soap and water... mind you she is the one serving the food and I'm sure she works the grill and puts her hands all over the bagel she butters for you.. ended up leaving.. I guess that's what you get for having young girls run your business.. never again as I was a customer.. girl was of medium build with multiple piercings in her right ear and nose.. come on dunellen bagel, you can do better. Hope the owner sees this post and teaches these girls some hygiene in front of cust

Best bagel shop around! Bagels may not be the largest around but they are dense, delicious and made old school in a water bath. They've been doing what they do for over 25 years. Staff and owner is friendly, fast and efficient. It's not eat in. Take out only. During nice weather they have patio tables and chairs that you can sit outside. We've tried many local bagel places and this is HANDS DOWN our go to bagel shop. Don't hesitate to stop in and pick up a "bakers dozen"!

I visited this business on a Wednesday. I requested a deluxe ham and cheese sandwich on a toasted bagel. I pay for the bagel. I leave and discover that it has none of the items on it that I requested, onions, lettuce, mayonnaise, etc., etc. I come back on a Saturday and I look the person straight in their eyes and I asked specifically for a ham and cheese deluxe sandwich on a toasted bagel. What do they give me, a turkey and cheese deluxe. I don’t understand why it’s so difficult to get what you asked for and pay for. I’m sure you guys can do better, unless this is intentional.
