Clifton Bagels

I got the onion bagel toasted with vegetable cream cheese. I also got the taro bubble tea. First the bagel… It was delicious! Cream cheese was also very good. The bubble tea (boba) I wasn’t pleased with. Flavor was ok but the tapioca itself was not fresh and didn’t taste good. Also it was $ 4.50. Next time I know what not to get.

I just ordered a simple Greek grilled chicken salad, it was horrible. I felt like I was eating rubber because the chicken was so chewy, like it was sitting there for hours. Worst salad I’ve ever had! I
Won’t be going back.

Favorite buffalo chicken wrap, ever.

Rating on the whole wheat everything with vegetable cream cheese… Toasted, served on a plate, veggie cream cheese was exceptional, fresh and loaded with veggies. Coffee was good, service was fine, no issues with this place despite the experience of others who may have had a former, less apt employee.
Is it the best bagel I’ve ever had? Well, no, but it was great, and considering what your choices are on rt3 working here or shopping, I’m sure you’d agree, it is a good choice for this shopping center.
Bagel: 4
Vegetable cream cheese: 5
Coffee: 4

This place made my morning. Wanted to go half and half on a pork roll, egg, and cheese and a lox with cream cheese with a friend, and they perfectly executed our complicated order. Flawless and delicious.

Absolute garbage.
Placed a very simple order of two bacon egg and cheese bagels. One on a wheat. One plain.
Instead, I received two bacon and cheese bagels. One on a wheat. One everything (or at least I think that’s what it is). Bacon was ice cold. Cheese wasn’t even melted. Bagels were rock hard.
This place is the worst.

this is my go to bagel shop because its close by and prices are good. not the best bagels but im pretty biased for nyc bagels. i think the sandwiches like the cheesesteak are better than the breakfast options, give it a try. they always seem to busy in the weekends, so judge for yourself!

Bagels were hard and they made my Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese like there was a shortage in ingredients! One of the worse bagel shops I have gone to.

If I could give no stars I would! Waited over one hour for delivery which still has not arrived! When I called to ask where my food was I was told dont worry he left already! Unless this delivery guy has a griddle in his car, I guarantee my food will be ice cold! DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!

Just got a Taylor ham and cheese which was disgusting. Sandwich was cold… cheese and roll were cold and Taylor ham was barely cooked. How can you mess up a NJ classic

Can’t say anything good about my experience here. Messed up my order to go & blamed me about it when I got home & my wife called about a missing item in our order. When we called to talk to a manager — their response was «no one here is in charge». As for the bagel that made it into the bag — just not good. Hate when they can’t spread cream cheese on a bagel properly at a bagel store. Both the inside & outside of the bagel were way too hard.
Lastly, the cashier told me $ 5 even but visibly only rang in $ 3. Just can’t bring myself to go back to an establishment ran this way.

Great place to grab a quick bite for breakfast, prices are okay the staff is very friendly as well.

Fast service. Okay bagels. Taste good. Good price but 75 cents for an extra egg ridiculous and if you spend 5 dollars or less you get charged an extra dollar if you paying with a debit. The eggs are good. Had me full for a while. Might be coming back when in the go.

I honestly can’t stop thinking about how RUDE the staff was. The girl working there must of had a really bad day… I won’t be coming back. Bagels were too salty and rubbery anyways.

Extremely friendly staff. Everyone is so nice! That’s probably the only positive about this place.
What drew me in was the sign advertising bubble tea, which I absolutely love. Living in this area, I welcomed the opportunity to try some from a local shop. I ordered the taro bubble tea at an overpriced $ 4.50. I figured, sure, why not? The finished product I received was questionable. I took one sip and it was horrific. The bubbles at the bottom tasted over saturated and dense, like they were soaking in liquid for days. As for the tea, it tasted like sugar with milk. Absolutely gross.
Bagels are nothing to be crazy about, though those are tolerable.

I should have known better from reading other reviews but this place is awful. The bagels taste old and rubbery. The Rye bagel is nothing resembling a rye at all. There are so many better places around.
Never again

Since I moved to Clifton from Kearny, I’ve been looking for a bagel place, like the Bagel House from Kearny. and I find Clifton bagel to be the closest one to my apt. So I decided to give it a try bc The Bagel House is too far for me to drive in the morning:/ Needless to say, the Clifton Bagel is not the sister company of The Bagel House.
I don’t think they make their bagels fresh but if they do than they don’t taste like it. Service was ok. I was looking for only bagels so I didn’t try anything else. After trying their bagels twice on two different occasions, I don’t think I’ll b going back again. unless all bagels shops in N.J. close down, than I might.

I’ve been saying for about six months that I was going to go into this place and try their bagels. After being in there for about five minutes, I will never ever step foot in Clifton Bagels again.
I’m kinda snobby about my Jersey bagels, frankly they are the best. This place had good reviews, but my experience wasn’t anything near that.
I went on a Thursday afternoon and surprisingly, it was busy. I stood in line for about five minutes. Looking around me, all I could notice was the cleavage of two women, SLAMMED in my face. I’m a straight female, and honestly I couldn’t stop staring, thinking some crème cheese was going to get stuck in there and never return. One of the employees was taking care of a woman in front of me and the other proceeded to help the guy behind me; dismissing me every time I tried to order. I waited and waited, and finally I was so disgusted (because the employees were helping everyone that showed up after me) and I left, my mouth still lingering with a bagel craving. Sometimes, cravings just aren’t worth fulfilling…
I’m really upset because this is perfect location to just grab a bagel on a Saturday while I’m out grabbing groceries. Unfortunately, I will not be going back for bagel and a peep show anytime soon.

I needed to kill an hour or so and figured I’d get something to eat quickly. This led me to Clifton Bagels.
The shop itself is nice; it’s clean, it has plenty of seating, a wide array of drinks, and a menu with everything a bagel shop should have. Prices are very fair.
I decided to go with the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel. I absolutely loved it. The bacon was cooked perfeftly, and the bagel itself was very tasty. I loved it so much that I got a second one for later! The owner was very nice and thanked me several times for coming.
Overall I plan on visiting here whenever I I can. I highly recommend it.

This place is my go to for a simple all around good BLT. You would think such a simple sandwich can’t be done wrong. Well Unilocalers, I agree BUT most places I have tried in the neighborhood are most definitely not up to par. This place has it on lock down. Not to mention their coffee is so satisfying.
It has quite a few tables inside, so eating in is a nice option. My only concern with this place is that the staff is constantly recycled… Wth… makes me wonder if the owner is too difficult to work for which would be a kill switch for me… but until then I will continue enjoying their BLTs…
BTW… They normally close by 4 pm and they do have a wide selection on their menu.
