Manhattan Bagel Company

The food is great, staff is friendly, and I think the coffee is the best in town. If you like spicy food, try the Ranchero wrap.

I frequent this establishment quite often since I live about 2 minutes door to door and it’s on my way to the office.
Steak, egg, and cheese on a roll is my go to order and usually it comes out decent however they seem to have been better in the past when they had different cooks. They have a new staff now so there’s only two faces that I recognize from previous visits. The two guys that I remember from prior visits are great and pleasant to deal with, always in a good mood.
The bagels are good, nothing that will blow your mind away but they are consistent in quality. Manhattan Bagel is a franchise and I’ve been to a few other Manhattan bagels where the quality of the food was terrible but this one in West Caldwell is pretty good.
The coffee however is ehhh… sometimes I’ll have a coffee from this place and it completely disagrees with my stomach so I think the coffee could definitely be better… but other than that, I come to this place all the time and 9 times out of 10 it gets the job done.

I actually prefer Einstein Bros (from the same parent company) because I find that Manhattan Bagel stores tend to be small and cramped, with limited seating, but this is not a problem if you visit during non-​peak hours. That aside, I like the sandwiches. They do take the time to prepare these properly. Service is good but a bit curt, as if they’re playing up the Manhattan aspect of it. Overall though, I’d definitely consider this store for a late lunch.

Taylor ham egg cheese wheat bagel.
Perfection!

My biggest complaint about this place is the bagels are kinda small.
Overall the place is always clean, staff always friendly, even @ 5:45am, my favorite is the egg wrap and their banging dark roast, i’m a happy guy.

I love coming here for breakfast and lunch. They have a great menu or you can create your own. The staff here is super friendly. The store is always clean. This one and the one in Elmwood park are great places to eat at.

Smallest bagel I every seen but was decent…

Great bagels and accompaniments! Even worth driving a little out of your way for.
