Fanwood Bagels & Deli

Good: The employees are all jovial and grateful people that make you feel welcome every single time. It genuinely feels like everybody is happy to be working there and to be serving up tasty food to their patrons. The bagels are really good, and their breakfast sandwiches are always top notch. Taylor ham, egg and cheese with salt, pepper and ketchup is my favorite. You can't go wrong though.. Bad: The inside could use a facelift, but the old-school setup gives it a hometown feel. It's always very crowded at peak times, and the "hang out and have a coffee while you're waiting" vibe isn't quite complete. I like to call ahead, especially for the cooked stuff.. Improvements: Besides improving the wait situation, I wouldn't recommend they change a thing. It could also be a more attractive eat-in option, but is fine just serving up consistently good bagels.. Other: The best part is that the owners are indistinuishable from the consistently good employees. They don't mind when you change your order a little at the last second or are especially particular with your request. Bagels served up with consistent quality are not always easy to find, we're lucky to have it this good in Fanwood.. more

this is a great place to get some bagels to go. the people who work there are very friendly and the sandwiches are very good. the coffee is not so good, but its a bagel place after all. the place itself needs some updating and some renovation to make it be a place where youd like to sit down and eat. its got that old tired out sort of look. more

I stoped in here since I moved and my usual bagel place was around 20 miles away. I ordered a few bagels, which tasted pretty good and got a cup of coffee. The second time I went in here I moticed that I sould always expect to see a long line, but that this line moves quickly as the staff are very efficient. more
