Bagel Giant Cafe

Better bagel shops around

I stopped in on a Sunday morning around 8:30. There was one other customer in the place and about 4-5 staff standing around. The service was average. The bagel was okay but a little doughy for my taste. I ordered a sausage and egg on em everything bagel. They used scrambled eggs or egg beaters for the sandwich... not bad but it’s usually a fried egg. Overall it wasn’t horrible but I don’t think I’ll be stopping back in.

Always out of French Roast. And not short staffed. Just inattentive. Bagels are just ok.

Very Friendly and DELICIOUS <3

Excellent bagels. For not being from the area, and leaving the bagel Haven of North Jersey, this place is spot on. Slight crunch on the outside, fluffy warm inside (when they're fresh) this is a rare find amongst the corporate strongholds that surround it

The bagels here are very special and delicious. These bagels are crunchy on the outside, but very soft on the inside. The inside is a little outdated, but the service and food is always great!

The bagels address good but the environment is unclean. Their cream cheese is on the sloppy/softer side. The jalapeño bagel lacks kick and they use only picked jalapeños in the cream cheese. This makes it vinegary.

Bagels are great. Good subs, too.

I was really trying to give this place a shot as it recently changed ownership. There is no consistency in their bagels, they rarely have all the flavors. The bagels from the prior owner were on point. However it has not translated to the new owner. I had one sandwich there and it was decent but the deli and grill on the other end makes a better one and uses boars head. I will wait to see if there is any progress in the bagels and update my review as needed.

Good customer service and good food

Friendly and personable staff. My first experience was great. Now that I know about this place and pass it on my way into work I may just be a regular. Sesame Bagel with fresh lox and cream cheese. Fresh and a surprisingly good amount of lox. Priced well and hit the spot.

Bagels are good, but so are their salads. Mostly friendly staff. The owner is great! I recommend trying it if you're in the area.

Finally, on the 3rd day of my trip, I got my REAL bagel; thank you Bagel Giant!I grew up in New Jersey, but made an unfortunate decision to move away some years ago. Every trip back is like a pilgrimage for real bagels and pizza. I don't know the Princeton area well, so for this trip I was dependant on internet reviews, and tried two other places before Bagel Giant. They just were not what I'd been so excited for the whole 10 hour drive to New Jersey: leathery on the outside, fluffy on the inside, full of flavor. Bagel Giant made my day! Their omelet was also much better than the other two places I tried - though not the same quality as the bagels.

I have grown up in this town, lived in New York, north Carolina, and California, and I still think this is one of the better bagel shops. Staff is friendly, bagels are delicious, and home made cream cheese is off the hook (90s phrase for amazing)
