Gem's House of Bagels (Belford)

Prices and food quality have taken a nose dive over the past 2 years. Ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese. Not only does the bacon taste like they have gone down on quality, and they only put like 3 pieces of bacon. but for $8.50 for just that is crazy. I go to "Everything Begal and Deli" in Bayonne every morning before work. $9 you get a loaded breakfast sandwich and an orange juice for $9. You're talking about up north where prices are higher. I think it's time for this place to go out of business and for someone to provide a new place that isn't expanding to bleed our community This is a $5 to $6 sandwich in today's market at most. Extra $2.50 is pure profit Also....49 cents to use your card. Listen, I get it. Everyone is doing it now. But when you have a lot of business and profit margi

My go to bagel place for 8 years now, specially this location. Food is always phenomenal, bagels are always fresh! Good pricing. Staff is so friendly, always get me in and out fast. Parking on the weekends can be tough but obviously expected, even with all of the spots and street parking, they're just that good! Weekdays can always get a spot. Would definitely recommend this spot!!!

10/30/2024 bought a variety of bagels in a a bag. All varieties were stale, dry and hard and likely a day or two old. When your jaw hurts after eating them they’re stale. Used to be good but I’ll likely throw away half a dozen stale bagels.

The problem with charging $1.70 for a bagel (not toasted and nothing on it) is that you set an expectation for amazing at that price. The bagel was mediocre at best. Sorry, won't be back.

Great for a quick bite. Pretty standard bagels, pastries, and coffee but pretty inexpensive.
