JP’s Bagel Express

The BEST breakfast burritos in all of Hoboken. the WORSE customer service in all of Hoboken.
I can’t believe how rude the cashier with the hat is. Had a mishap with order and ticket numbers this weekend. Instead of trying to help me she was annoyed with me and didn’t even offer an apology. She even began to talk about me in Spanish to her coworkers when i had to let her know (in Spanish) I was able to understand what she was saying about me. Work on customer service… even if you are busy there is not excuse to make your customers feel like they’re imposing on your business.

Jalapeño bagel tastes awesome. I mostly buy my morning breakfast from here on my way to NYC. My girl friend loves this place too. So far I have tried all their variety of cheese. They all are good. I highly recommend this place.

Hands-​down the best bagels in town. Despite the crowd they draw, they never seem to miss a detail on my order which changes frequently because the menus features so many options. My girlfriend lives in the city and never misses an opportunity to order when visiting, apparently Manhattan bagels have nothing on JPs.

Been to this Bagel shop a couple of times now and they’ve been pretty consistent on their offerings.
Had an everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. The bagels were a little undercooked for my liking and the cream cheese was okay. Worth a look.

Located just a couple blocks from the Hoboken Terminal, this has become my go-​to bagel shop on the weekdays. The menu is pretty extensive, but really I just stick to breakfast sandwiches and bagels. And they do it fairly well. Bacon, egg, and cheese has sufficient substance to it and the bagels themselves are very good.
The place itself is tight and in the mornings quite crowded but step past the people standing around and step up to the counter to place your order. Taking things to go is the best choice here since there is only seating for about half a dozen.
Overall, not too bad for a quick stop-​in but not a place to go hang out.

Best bagel in Hoboken, but definitely not the best bagel I’ve ever had.
Saturday mornings, everything bagel with chive cream cheese is a regular for me. Coffee isn’t very good, but there’s a Starbucks right across the street. Place gets SUPER crowded and busy so make sure you check how much they ring you up for your order. Sometimes I’ll order the same thing on different days and I’d be charged differently… I feel like sometimes they just arbitrarily hit the register…

A Hoboken staple, they have basically the best bagels in town, aside from Hoboken Hot Bagels. They recently renovated their interior, and the old reviews calling it dumpy aren’t right at all. They get extremely busy on the weekend, pro-​tip — call your order in first then go there and pick it up to avoid any lines.

LOVE JP’s Bagels, whole wheat everything is so good.

Great location– just about a block away from the path. Not sure if I’d go as far as saying they have the best bagels (might have to give that one to Hoboken Hot Bagels), but they’re definitely the go to spot for breakfast sandwiches. Lines are crazy on the weekends but they make up for it with their service. You’ll probably wait almost 10 minutes.

yum bagel sandwich! I brought a dozen hoem to LA to freeze. They are still good as I make my bagel sandwiches at home. I love that they offer avocado on your bagel sandwich over here– didn’t know that was as much of a thing as it is on the west coast. I liked the garlic and onion bagels the most and got mine with egg, cream cheese, avo, and cheddar cheese.

Love this place… no pre-​made eggs like that place on Washington. Their egg and cheese bagels are wonderful too.
Not the friendliest people in the world. Even when it’s empty they don’t really speak. but the food is good.

I’m honestly surprised by the many 1 and 2 star reviews for this place. Every time I go in (which is pretty regularly, less since I moved further away, but still.) the place is packed, and the service, while not what I would call friendly, is pretty damn efficient for the amount of madness happening there.
I’ve never gotten a wrong order, and my orders are pretty specific as I have to have dairy free options, so I’ve never gotten cheese when I didn’t ask for it, or gotten someone else’s order by mistake, or anything like that.
Their bagels are not my absolute favorite, but they are probably in my top 5, so a good NY style bagel. I think they could be a little fluffier but that’s just the way I like a bagel.
Not the fanciest in here by any means, but I am consistently satisfied with their service and food, and it remains one of my bagel go-​to spots.

This place has gotten good reviews so I’ll try it again. I had a pumpernickel with cream cheese with tomato and cucumbers. The bagel was a little hard. I didn’t think I got a whole lotta cc as someone else’s review said they give plenty…
It was meh. But, I’ll try it again before I give up.

Great bagels in Hoboken. Have a good package deal if you want to pick up for a group event — includes bagels, cream cheese and butter — plus you can always add additional spreads. Love both the lox spread and the scallion cream cheese … Always a hit at my office as well.
They have great sandwiches, wraps and hot food as well!
They have a very good system during busy times. You place your order get a number and when you’re number is called you can pick up your order and pay.

Stopped by a bit late in the afternoon for a quick bite to eat before having to go to a doctor. Figured I needed some food and JP’s bagel was right around the corner. We looked at Taco Truck and Gray’s Papaya and was like, the bagel should be better on our systems before getting some shots.
We walked in and a guy was mopping the floor and decided not to stop as we wanted to get by. We did ask if the place was still open and he said yes and then continued to mop all over us.
We still continued (truth be told, my boots could have used that little shine from the salt outside). Went up to the counter where 5 people were standing there sorting stuff out, there was only 6 or 7 bagels left but we didn’t hold that against them since it was 3:30 PM in the afternoon on a Saturday. Getting one of the staff’s attention was a pain. They all looked at each other when I asked if I could still order a sandwich and after about 30 seconds of confusion the guy who speaks the least amount of English took my order.
We tried a Roasted Turkey Sandwich with a toasted jalapeño bagel. Overall it was pretty good. The bread has a slight bite on the outside but is chewy on the inside. The turkey and toppings all seemed fresh. It cost about $ 7.00, but not a bad deal for their location.
However, I kept my eye on the staff and most were just standing around letting 2 of the male ethnic workers do most of the work. I thought I might have invaded on closing time but they stay open until 5:00 PM so no reason to treat us like we were invading on their time.
If I am craving a bagel sandwich again, I’d rather just stay hungry and go get a Wonder Bagels where quality and service meet.

When I first started coming to JP’s a couple of years ago, I thought the bagels were just ok. But as time went on, they seemed to have greatly improved in quality.
My favorite bagel here is the whole wheat, which maybe one of the best whole wheat bagels I’ve had anywhere. They are generous with the cream cheese and the order comes out fairly fast even on the very crowded weekend mornings.
I can’t speak for any of their other food, but if you want a good bagel with cream cheese, this is the place.

Great bagels… but horrendous service and inconsistent prices. It’s honestly as if they don’t listen to you when ordering, because they always forget cheese, or add cheese or forget tomatoes… then charge you extra for whatever they felt like adding-​on or have forgotten.
Been going to this place for over 4 yrs because the bagels are the best in Hobo. But no more– boom! Rotten review.

I was so happy eating a BEC on an everything bagel, I almost cried. This was how a bagel is supposed to rise: crisp exterior, light and fluffy interior. The bagel WAS CHEWEY! Like it’s supposed to be. It was a joyous occasion. The coffee was pretty good too.
There is a number system for orders. You order. They hand you a number. They call your number. You leave with your stuff. It’s kind of amazing how simple this system is.
I would go here again if I ever went back to the Boken at breakfast time.

Indisputably the best bagels in Hoboken.
Everything and jalapeño are my favorite. Whole wheat everything is solid too, but if you’re gonna eat a bagel, eat a bagel, ya know?!
Their egg sandwiches are pretty stellar — they make the eggs fresh, not like the preheated patty garbage that you’ll find at Smashery. I generally stick to those egg and cheese on a bagel or a buttered toasted bagel for breakfast, but I’ve gotten a bagel sandwich with tuna a few times and that’s been awesome too. They don’t charge extra to add tomato, onions and lettuce to the bagel sandwiches, which is a plus.
The service is always great. They’re polite enough and super efficient. When things get crazy (read: weekend mornings) they hand out numbers to easily distribute orders. I’ve never waited longer than 6 or 7 minutes.
Bonus: this is the closest hangover cure stop to the Path and NJ transit, so there are always hungover and still drunk girls doing the walk of shame for your entertainment on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Enjoy :).

The bagel itself was fine, bordering on eh? I don’t know about this place, I couldn’t see past a few things.
First off, the place looks super dumpy and dirty. I don’t like to jump to conclusion, but it makes me sceptic about how sanitary this place can really be.
Second, I ordered up a low fat chicken salad with lettuce, tomato, turkey bacon on a low carb bagel. It was $ 9 and IT WAS GROSS. Like I took two bites and threw it away gross. Like I didn’t even want to complain to management because I didn’t want anything else gross. The chicken salad was seriously disgusting, stuffed with peas and a gelatinous mystery texture. The turkey bacon was barely cooked, the whole thing was soggy. I can pretty much eat anything in front of me and I had no problem or remorse throwing this thing away.
If you are craving a bagel and really have no where else to go, I’d imagine this could be it, but seriously Taco Truck and Gray’s Papaya are wayyyyyy better options, I’d even suggest hitting up Starbucks for grub before heading here.
