Central Park Bagel

I grew up in NJ though I have not lived there in 20 years. I visit my family there and when I visit my brother, I HAVE to stop at this wonderful bagel shop every time to get their perfect bagels to bring back home with me to FL!

This place is simultaneously the best and most frustrating bagel experience you can have in the Philly/south jersey area. Hands down favorite bagel sandwich no contest. However, the service is a mess. We've been coming here for years, and the owners are incredibly nice, but everyone that works there wanders between stations, therefore managing to be as slow and ineffective as they possibly can be. There’s rarely anyone at the register to help customers, so there are people waiting in line that shouldn’t actually be waiting—e.g. people whose call-ahead orders are ready and just need to pay, people who are just buying bagels, etc. Each person that works there needs to pick a single job and stick to it. The youngest employee (it's currently a young man with glasses on Saturdays) needs to stay at the register and just do the register, nothing else. The older man needs to expedite—package orders, take phone orders, put tickets on the line, and hand out people’s orders. The ladies need to stay on the grill & assemble sandwiches. That’s it. If everyone just stuck to their own job, this place would operate so much more smoothly. We say this because we love their food and like the owners, and hope they see this, so they can improve their business.

Get sandwiches from here fairly often, and order online so it is very easy to specify what you want. With that being said, they are VERY consistent at getting the order wrong, whether it be the wrong bagel or wrong meat. They’re also always late— I wouldn’t bother ordering from here on a Sunday morning unless you want to wait in line for your online order for half an hour past the time the order is supposedly “ready”.

Nova Lox cream cheese onion tomatoes and capers. Very good bagels cooked freash daily. Great selection of drinks.
