Hoboken Hot Bagels

There bagels themselves are good esp with cream cheese ! Do NoT get any eggs because they are fake eggs like he one dunkin donuts use very disappointed and you will be too. I never in my life have ever went to a bagel place and got fake egg like that. You have been warned !

Best bagels in Hoboken bar none. The quality is so good, crusty on the outside, thick and chewy on the inside. Always made to perfection.

My favorite bagel spot in town and if you’re a regular you’ll know why.
Considering it is a tiny narrow space they offer freshly baked bagels daily. The everything bagel is one of their bests. A bagel with butter/​cream cheese will cost you $ 1.50. Additionally you can get breakfast sandwiches (careful with these as in my experience and my friends they tend to toast the bagel itself too much).
The staff is always friendly and move at a quick pace considering how busy they can get. If coming on the weekend be expecting to wait on a line that goes out the door literally. They do not offer an area that is large enough to sit down and eat the bagel so my advice would be to grab and go.
Try this spot out for a fresh local bagel! You won’t regret it.

Everyone knows you can’t scramble the egg on a TEC. Unusually small bagel, sloppily put together, with 1 slice of Taylor ham and cheese.
Still searching for that go to bagel shop in Hoboken.

This place is a Hoboken classic. Don’t come here expecting a gourmet café. But if you want the best bagels in Hoboken at a good price there is no better spot around. If you need more proof just look at the line out the door (literally) every single weekend.
I’m a regular here & have been since I’m a kid. The staff are wonderful people & they usually have my order ready before I get up to the counter. They even know I like my bagels crispy & will fish out a dark one for me.
The bagels here are exactly how they should be, water bagels. Meaning they’re boiled before being baked. If a bagel isn’t boiled it’s really just bread shaped like a bagel. The texture is not the same. Plus they’re freshly baked every morning and throughout the day.
This is a good old fashioned bagel shop with bagels made the old fashioned way.

Not good at all. Hard bagels. Eggs are green? Wtf. Never again. And you need cash under 10 $. And they weigh cream cheese out– I hate places that are so stingy.

One of the superior bagel spots in the neighborhood for sure. Bagels are always fresh, the jalapeño cream cheese with amigo bagels is my go-​to. They’re a little on the crispy side if you prefer very doughy bagels, but I don’t mind that at all. One point off for some of the younger people working there being total brain trust members who work just glacially slow and have no clue how to work the register — absolute slow motion nightmare when trying to run in before work for a quickie bagel stop. The owner and the other guy who usually is working are great and fast, though.

Great bagels but I don’t get sandwiches here since they are made in the microwave. Not doughy like bagels on the Hudson… And they have flavor! They also give you as much or as little spread as you like.

Best bagel place I’ve found in Hoboken so far! $ 0.85 bagels, $ 10.20 for a dozen. Will definitely be my go-​to bagel stop from now on!

Not gonna lie but everyone who lives in hoboken knows Bagels on the Hudson is ten times better. This place needs a renovation, it’s never going to be as good as Bagels on the Hudson.

These bagels are definitely different than the ones down the street at bagels on the hudson. Depending on the day my preference changes. This is more on the crunchy side rather than the more chewy bagels at bagels on the hudson.
I am not a fan of them microwaving their eggs to cook them but what are you gonna do.
Come here if your in need of a hangover cure, it will be your savior.

Best tasting bagels in Hoboken. I have been to JPS bagel, bagel smashery, Hudson bagels (which sucks) and Frans deli. This place has the best tasting bagels. Not super doughy, not too dense, and everything bagel did not skimp out on the seasoning. Too bad they don’t deliver.

Omg. Stay away. I came here only because it was recently reviewed bagel spot of Hoboken bagels and I was trying to satisfy a craving. But JESUS!
These bagels were horrible! It was so hard and not at all worth $ 4. My coworker and I got two bagels.
1– whole grain with lox & cream cheese — hard as HELL bagel. Gave a decent amount of lox… Loads of cream cheese. Can’t complain about those two things.
2– plain with sausage and egg– sausage was cold in the middle. Egg was microwaved. Bagel was hard
Both of us had less than half the bagel and threw it out.
I came for crispy on the outside chewy on the inside bagels and it was NOT the case. Such a disappointment.
Another restaurant added to my «stay off Washington st» theory.

$ 6.20 for two bagels with cream cheese… that’s nuts! Microwave to cook their sandwiches versus a grill. No comprehension of toasting a bagel. Fail fail fail. None of the workers wear gloves and they all touch money and then your food, super sanitary money only I’m sure.

My sister and I frequented this place nearly every day before heading to the city during our trip! Their bagels are pretty spot on for a small place so I wasn’t really put down at all.
The first time I had a bagel from here, I didn’t get the pleasure of picking my own. It was an egg/​ham/​cheese on one of their salt encrusted bagels and it wasn’t really my thing. The bagel was extremely salty! It sounds like I should’ve expected it, and I kind of did, but not to that extent. I was chugging water like no tomorrow after finishing it.
The next few times I went I got the egg/​ham/​cheese on a plain scooped out bagel and I loved it so much!!! I love that they give you a «scooped out» (less innards of your bagel, hence ‘scooped out’) option because it makes your meal a lot less heavy. I have yet to go to a bagel shop in CA that lets me do that.
Other:
— Service is what you’d expect from a bagel shop but it tends to get crowded during certain hours so be patient!
— Servers are nice :-)
— Tiny shop but there’s a few tables outside for you to cop a squat if you wanted

Ordered a bagel with eggs and bacon.
The bagel was quite good, though not the ‘best bagels in area’ by a stretch. That honor goes to Wonder Bagels, easily. Still, these were above average.
There were, however, only two lonely strips of bacon. And limp, flimsy, and thin McDonalds-​style bacon at that. It was just sad. Someone said these were microwaved? That makes perfect sense.
I’m tryin to start my day right. Don’t cheap out on the bacon.

You would think with all of these one star reviews that were written solely for the fact that they microwave their breakfast sandwiches, they would gather the change they make from the long line out the door every weekend and purchase a grill, but apparently that’s not the case.
Don’t get me wrong, the bagels from here are probably some of the best I’ve ever had but who in their right mind enjoys a breakfast sandwich where the eggs and pork roll are microwaved? Gross. Service is good and I’ve even ordered a couple dozen bagels from here in advance for Saint Patrick’s Day and my order was ready with no problems. However, until they get a griddle, they will remain a 3-​star review from me.

These bagels aren’t as good as the top tier of bagels in NYC. But I’ve tried bagels from the 4 main bagel shops in Hoboken now (Hoboken Hot Bagels, Bagels on the Hudson, Bagel Smashery and JP’s Bagel Express) and Hoboken Hot Bagels is clearly the best bagel shop from a bagel-​purist perspective. Look, if you get your bagel toasted, get bagel sandwiches, put anything other than cream cheese on your bagel, etc… you can go anywhere. It won’t matter.
But if you *love* bagels like I do… If you left NYC thinking you’ll have a better life elsewhere, then came back 10 months later because you missed the bagels (like I did)… you should not get bagels in Hoboken anywhere other than Hoboken Hot Bagels.
Why is this place so much better? Well, to me, making a great bagel is about getting the texture of the bread right. Even if it’s freshly baked, in-​store, it has to have *just* the right amount of chewiness. The bagel «flavor» whether it’s egg, everything, cinnamon raisin, garlic, etc. — that’s just a distraction from what really makes a bagel a good bagel.
Don’t waste your time or money elsewhere. Unless you like wasting your time and money on inferior products.

In Hoboken, you have plenty of places to choose a bagel, but unfortunately, most of these places make terrible, terrible bagels. One morning after a long night out, I decided to take a long walk to Hoboken Hot Bagels to finally give them a shot. I’m really happy I did, because I finally found a delicious bagel in town. I picked up a THEC (Taylor Ham + Egg + Cheese) on an everything bagel. It went down in maybe 7 bites. They do it right.
When you go, realize there is nowhere to sit and eat plus there might not be much room to even stand. Get in line, order your food, move out of the way, pay with cash, and walk home.

There is always a line out the door here for a reason: best bagels in Hoboken!
And don’t worry, the line actually goes very fast. They have an array of beverages on your left when you walk in and a small staggered counter upfront. Bagels are fresh and delicious!
Personal fav: everything with cream cheese and lox. Not to be mistaken for nova cream cheese, which is also delicious.
I only wish that made their deli salads. Was bummed to see the store bought chicken salad being brought in in the morning.
