Bantam Bagels are delicious little bagel bombs. They are frozen with a cream cheese filling, differing depending on the bagel flavor. They have a pretzel flavor that’s filled with a horseradish/cheese filling that’s to die for. Trouble is finding them. I’ve found them at Acme in Little Silver. Starbucks sells them individually. They are available by mail order but shipping cost as much as the bagels. I sent a variety pack of 36 to family in Florida for their Christmas morning. Such a treat. Oh-they’re on Bleecker Street in NYC.
I remember them from Shark Tank!
Amazon sells them 6 packs of 6 with free shipping if you have Prime. Different varieties available but you have to buy 36 of the same at a time. I’ve never tried but I remembered seeing them.

work across from this HOT BAGELS store (Yorktown in Manalapan) and they are amazing bagels/bialy.
Kosher so only salads, cream cheese, no lettuce!
I also like Bagel Boy on Route 516 in Old Bridge.
awesome and they are closed for all Jewish Holiday
Also a fan of Yorktown Bagels. Its just Bagels (no fancy salads or grill) …always a good size line especially on weekend mornings
turnover is evident and subsequently freshness. Line moves fast. Cash only
Recently opened corner location, we Stopped in today for a sandwich to go and a 1/2 doz bagels. WE ordered the rueben sandwich on an Asiago bagel that came with a kosher dill pickle and a small pot of slaw. The sandwich as expected was filled with tasty pastrami, Swiss cheese and a generous coverage of Russian dressing. Large enough to share. $6.95 and 7 bagels for the price of six, $6.25 We picked Egg, Salt, dark Russian and everything bagels With another 1/2 dozen flavors in the bins to pick from. Fresh bagels made on site along with a small dessert case of fresh assorted handheld type items, noticed pannis, a breakfast menu, a well stocked snack shelf and frig case. The dining area, is brand new, clean and fairly roomy. The parking lot on that corner is a bit tricky.
Since there is also a Greek restaurant and pizzeria in the space next to Bagel Factory CafE that I also stop in, this location will be a convenient stop when taking GSP Ext 120 homeward.
They are open 5am-10pm!
It has to be easier than the one for the Greek restaurant (Evan’s) and the pizzeria (Attilio’s) (which involves backing out directly into traffic)! By the way, the latter two are among our favorite places. Evan’s has the “cone” (the upright rotisserie that not all Greek restaurants have), and the mushroom sauce at Attilio’s actually has a reasonable amount of mushrooms in it.

We used to order from Evan’s regularly until we moved. I love their grape leaves. That parking lot is not for the faint of heart!!!
I’m sorry, but I have a hard time taking seriously a bagel place with a Christmas tree. It’s like a Japanese restaurant with a statue of Ganesha at the entrance.

I ‘m sorry too since I find that level of criticism over the top. My sandwich was delicious.

Where is this

Cliffwood Ave in Matawan. That corner is where Cliffwood and Matawan seem to intersect.

How was the parking situation? I haven’t been over there yet but know the spot. Looks bigger inside than I expected.
Today we were there with only one other car in the lot so it was easy. The dining section is cozy and seats maybe 40.

Just adding stoped at the Brooklyn hot bagels in red bank today for a change; the spot next to foodtown. Appears it may be under new management/ownership?? Bagels were very good today. Will be stopping here often now for sure
I never had a complaint the handful of times I’ve been. For me, I have to pass bagel masters to get there, so…
(FYI I heard Bagel Masters actually sold recently, I’m holding my breath, can’t lose Little Szechuan and Bagel Masters!!!)

I had not heard that. I sincerely hope that’s not the case though
Actually I retract my earlier comment. My son had mentioned that there was “someone new” there, I thought he meant ownership, he did not. My apologies. (my kids having graduated RBC are the true regulars there)
