Ridge Bagel & Cafe

Definitely one of the best bagel shops in the area. Their bagels are super fluffy and the breakfast sandwiches are delicious. They can sometimes be a little oily but I have only had this issue once or twice. Love the cheese options as well - pepperjack is my go to! Now for my standard comments. Location is clean and well kept. Classic bagel shop. There are a few tables indoors but also a great spot to pick up and go. Plenty of little parking lots in the area or free street parking.

A friend of mine took me to this place (he said “you will have the best bagels 🥯 ever” 😃) indeed they are. We had *Everything 🥯 with cream cheese * coffee ☕️ and juice 🥤 I will come back.

Hands down the worst breakfast spot that exists. The customer service? I mean it’s 3 women that couldn’t possibly hate their job more. Ordering is like BEGGING for food? Like you’re not paying. They’re on their phones, chatting. No rush, no smiles. All of which would be fine if they put the attention to the food. Also slacking. Tables are all dirty half the time.

Food was okay, but the service was terrible. The staff were stone-faced, and service was clearly not first-come, first-served. We waited about 15 minutes while many customers who arrived after us received their food. When I asked about our order, I was told the chicken quesadilla was still “in the kitchen” (apparently not the same place where two employees were actively preparing food for other orders). After another 10 minutes and a second inquiry, they finally started preparing the other two items on our order. It took about 30 minutes total to get our food at what is essentially a takeout café-unbelievable. I also noticed a 4% operating fee on the receipt after I got home, which was never mentioned.

My favorite bagel shop in basking ridge. Great prices and the best bagels.
