Best bagel shop in Montclair, New Jersey (NJ) 2024

This is a great breakfast spot that I visited on a weekly basis. Overall, the bagels are good, the store is clean, it’s in a nice location, and the pricing is reasonable. There are three things that I think can be improved, especially during peak times: 1) Line management (people often randomly stand around the store making it difficult to tell whose ordered and who hasn’t—it’s especially hectic when it’s crowded) 2) Customer service (sometimes the employees are a bit curt and seem like they’re ignoring you) 3) Consistent bagel quality (sometimes the bagels are dried out and hard, even first thing in the morning) Overall, it’s a really good local place but certainly not my very bagel joint in the area. ~Jasmine
