History

Established in 2005.

Ten years ago with a love for bagels and enthusiasm for great service, Lou started a wonderful little shop in West Caldwell, NJ. In July of 2015 the new owners, Lauren and Kris, renovated the store with a fresh look and have brought onboard a new chef and baker. Watch out Essex County, the new Lou’s is here! The team is excited to share a great product with unparalleled service.

We needed some dynamite buffalo wings for our Super Bowl party, and Lou’s came through big time. The two half-​trays we got were more than enough for a dozen people, with plenty to spare. Great staff, great prices — I look forward to trying more options from their catering menu. Highly recommended.

I couldn’t believe the prices here. I got a lox and cream cheese bagel in NYC and they charged me $ 12.50. I came to Lou’s and they charged me less than half of that for a higher quality meal. Great stop and very kind staff.

The bagel place was recently redone and it is much better than it’s been in years. I work in the plaza each day and they provide some awesome food. Not very expensive, but a great value for what you pay for!

The staff is very friendly. All of them greeted me with a smile. I ordered an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The cream cheese was delicious! I just wish I had more of it. It was a pretty thin layer in my bagel, not like I’m used to. I’ll just make sure to ask for extra cream cheese on mine for next time :) I also ordered a small side of egg salad which was tasty.
Overall, I enjoyed my breakfast and would come here again. Thank you!

The new owners have renovated to make this place look great! The employees are friendly and engaging. They made me smile and laugh before I even had my morning coffee! I ordered the Jersey breakfast staple — taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll with ketchup. The sandwich was thick with meat and eggs with the perfect amount of cheese. It was almost too big to finish, but I made it happen. Best of luck to the new owners! I’ll definitely be back, and you should go too!

Awesome. The food, the cleanliness, the helpful and happy staff, the cool and modern décor… all of it is awesome. They have a creative and delicious menu that will satisfy the most hard-​core grill fan to the dedicated foodie to the health nut. All items are made to order with quality ingredients.
The new owner, Lauren, is fantastic and treats all her customers like friends. Chris is the dedicated manager who has helped bring Lou’s to the ‘must visit’ deli/​grill it is today. Highly recommend and will be back!

Went down for a lunch after Lou’s was closed for 2 weeks. Experienced one of the worst sandwiches ever! Both hard rolls were completely stale to the point that they were probably left on the counter for the 2 weeks they were closed. It is under new ownership. The freshness of a role is essential to the overall structure of a sandwich. If the roll is bad it kinda ruins the whole sandwich. It also brings into question the quality of the rest of their produce. Stay away! Stay far away!

Wow! Amazing new look and higher quality product! Nice job by the new owners and was lovely to speak with both of them. Had a delicious bagel sandwich this morning and might have to return for one of the lunch specials. Thank you for bringing this landmark back to its former glory.

Finally! A place that gets it. Breakfast and lunch only that taste good at a fair price. At least I have a place to go now on my way to work.

After some time for renovation, lous is still my go to place for giant affordable sandwiches and fresh bagels. First thing I noticed, they got rid of the weak baked goods display and now there’s a clear line of sight to the professionals working the grill. Same staff as before, same great food, new look, new menu, new friendly management.

Portions are huge, the price is low, and of course the taste is amazingg!!!
I got the a chicken pesto hot sandwich and man… I want more just thinking about it. I couldn’t finish my order because it was so large. They also serve fries which are hot and crispy. Yum. Good place to hit when you want fast service or a cheap eat.
