The Bagel Shack

Wonderful pork egg rolls! Made fresh and don’t take long to make. I come here often and am always satisfied.

Delicious bagel and cream cheese. Tasted fresh and didn’t take long to be made. The only reason i give 4 instead of 5 is because my friend waited awhile for his egg on a roll…

We stopped by here this morning, there was a bit of a line but it moved quickly. We were in and out in about 15 minutes. We ordered a everything Bagel with cream cheese and aTaylor Pork, Egg, and Provolone on a Sesame Seed Bagel. The Bagels were nice and fresh and the combination of the Taylor Pork and Provolone was perfect. Great breakfast, highly recommended.

Although the ingredients of the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich were delicious, it was all but ruined by the fact that the bagel was not toasted! My boyfriend ordered a lox bagel sandwich, which they also did not toast. I would not have had a single complaint about the sandwiches, if they had been toasted. I was surprised that I was not asked if I wanted it toasted to begin with. This is a crime against bagels everywhere.
I also tried a mango smoothie and a hash brown. Would definitely pass on those next time. The smoothie tasted very artificial and the mango flavor was very mild. The hash brown was extremely greasy and had no flavor to speak of.

My favorite is an everything bagel (because it has pretzel salt), cream cheese and tomato. YUM!!! Coffee: so-​so. They have burritos and other stuff too. The line moves steadily in the AM. I have never had a Grouch there, in contrast to other « Unilocalers».

BEST everything bagel bacon egg cheese sandwiches! All bagels are best on long beach island!

If you’re ok with your bagels being dirty, this is the spot for you. The woman at the register runs her hands through money, the cash register then on your bagel. I was shocked when I asked for a bagel with butter right after she finished ringing up several customers before me. She touched every dirty thing possible before handling my bagel, including the telephone and credit card machine. She grabbed my bagel cut it and began buttering it all without gloves or washing her hands. I was appalled that she didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. Handling food and handling cash should be done by two separate people or at least put gloves on or wash. There were several over people working so it wasn’t like she didn’t have options.
I stopped her mid butter to tell her no thanks and she was completely odd an rude when I called her out on her lack of proper food handling skills. She was shocked that I had a problem with how she was going about the whole process. I walked out annoyed and in total disbelief over what had just transpired. I will never return there again for anything. It scares me to think what other food handling violations might be taking place. Pass!

How are there so many poor ratings on the bagel shack?! They have the best bagels EVER. I always look forward to coming to the beach to get my bagel fix from them and only them. I refuse to get a bagel anywhere else when on lbi.
Don’t pay attention to the negative reviews, I think they are from renters who come down and think because it’s their vacation week the whole island should revolve around them. Defiantly experienced that attitude a lot while waitressing at a restaurant in beach haven for quite a few years. I was incredibly friendly and diligent with my tables and good at what I did. Some people will just never be happy and complain about every little thing.

Amazing bagel sandwiches. I always stop there when I’m on LBI. They toast bagels and take credit cards since new owners took over. The breakfast burritos are also really good if you’re not in a bagel mood.

Bagels and quick breakfast items, not with s smile.

Were it possible to rate 0 stars The Bagel Shack would earn that rating. The «service» is non-​existent although that seems to be a theme at every restaurant on Long Beach Island. While theoretically a toaster is present, it either has no heating element or the bagels are put through too fast to even catch a hint of warmth. My advice is go elsewhere if possible. If not, buy the bagels and add the toppings at home.

This place is just not the same as it use to be. I decided to go back and give it another try… not only did they increase then prices again but they changed the type of pork roll they use to Trenton Ham not Taylor ham. Tastes terrible. Not worth they money… plenty of other places that are better in the area.

One star for the comedy behind the counter. I’ve never seen such disorganization and I was in ‘nam.
No stars for the raw bagel. Toaster may or may not be working depending on the moment you ask but the oven certainly isn’t.

First time in the shack for summer 2014, very excited to see that they now toast their delicious bagels and accept credit cards, both of which I did not expect! The chalkboard menus look great and the new Greek yogurt smoothies taste awesome

Excellent bagels!!! They now make these amazing smoothies and take credit cards since under new ownership. Oh, and they also toast the bagels too! It truly is a great and friendly little spot with a menu that is sure to please everyone! Love this little place and highly recommend my favorite… the sausage, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel lightly toasted with ketchup and an iced coffee! Starts off the beach day just right ;)

This is my second review of the Bagel shack because I was just out there again a few days ago. I got a plain bagel with cream cheese. Simply put Amazing. Bagel was perfect. Just like the old days up in North Jersey. Best bagels in the LBI area.

Best bagel in Beach Haven. My suggestion is to buy them without butter, cream cheese or as a breakfast sandwich and to bring them back to your place and fix them up. That is your best value and the only way you’ll get the bagel toasted.

Cash-​only tiny breakfast joint near everything on the island.
Prices may seem prices to some, but pretty standard for the island:
$ 5.50 for breakfast sandwiches
$ 1.75 for bagel/​cream cheese (must-​try the french toast bagel!)
All drinks are $ 2.50 which is absurd for a regular bottle of water
This is my go-​to place when grabbing breakfast (especially convenient b/​c you can just walk to the beach minutes away with your food) They do get VERY busy in the morn/​afternoon so remember to grab a ticket and listen for your number. Oh and they DON’T toast your bagel, so don’t ask. Bagels are usually warm and fresh anyways.

Cash only, no credit cards (–1 star). Open on Thanksgiving (+1 star). The service was nice and personable (a lot of locals called their orders in ahead of time and picked them up while we were in line). Decent variety of bagels and cream cheeses. Juice, coffee, eggs and it looked like some good sandwich selections on the menus. Outdoor seating. It is busy!

Great selection of breakfast food. Had the pork roll, egg and cheese and it tasted great. Not too much pork roll which isn’t a bad thing. Nice outside seating for a quick bite.
Prices seemed a bit high for what you get though.
