Ordered a simple egg, ham & cheese on a bagel. There were barely any eggs, 1 slice of ham, and processed cheese . . it was like eating an empty bagel. Overpriced and worst quality in the area. Find another bagel shop.

Rivals "New York Style" bagels and service. As far as I can tell it's the best spot in the neighborhood.

Food looked good but what place only takes cash…. Wasn’t able to get my food the ATM in store wasn’t working and charges a fee. To survive in today’s world accepting cards is the standard. The 1 star isn’t because of the food or staff both seemed great it’s the fact I couldn’t get the food. The only signage I saw for cash only was at the register after I placed my order…

Come on, it's Chester bagel. They're famous in the area for good reason; great bagels done right, a full menu of breakfast, sandwiches, salads, soups, you name it. They're cash only and crazy busy in the mornings, but you'd be hard pressed to find a better spot for your morning fix. Taylor Ham, Egg, and Cheese on one of their perfect egg bagels if you're looking for a recommendation.

The food looked good, but I wasn't able to get any. Don't make the mistake of ordering online. You still have to wait in line with everyone else so the convenience is for them and not you. Then it seemed like they had never received an online order in their life. They couldn't find mine and then said the machine was broken, not sure what that meant. At the end, gave up and walked out without food.

CASH ONLY. I ran in there to grab a quick lunch. They made my sandwich and picked out my drinks picked out my chips. I get to the register and see the sign for cash only no ATM on premises. The bagels look good and the place was clean.

Small and Crowded, with unmasked staff and customers that do not maintain 6 ft distance. Their store in Flanders is the same food, larger, less of a disease risk, and takes credit cards. That one would get a much better rating

There is no doubt they have the best bagels anywhere locally. They have an old Brooklyn recipe that makes them taste extremely authentic. Aside from not taking anything but cash, and needing to get more organized when taking an order; it is worth the trip.

Such a nice place to get a bagel! I got the lox bagel from here and it was hugeeee. Service was super quick and I was even able to use their restroom. A very extensive menu and covid precautions were in place! A very lovely experience and I would definitely come back here for more breakfast goodies.

The Best bagel in Chester hands-down I always call before to make an order by the time that I get there which is like 10 minutes my order is already complete
They have great service any topic also very reasonably priced if you're in the area and you feel like having a bagel just go there. Thank you for staying open throughout this crazy time

Ordered an "Italian sub with everything on it." It came with 90% ham and a thin layer of salami. Lots of oil. Not much flavor.

Stopped here for 8 dozen bagels for a work event. The bagels were all ready for me when I went to pick them up and they even helped me bring all the bags to my car. The bagels were great and really a fair price.

Ordered a bagel with regular cream cheese and ended up with a bagel with some nasty walnut cream cheese. I can get a bagel and cream cheese anywhere. Definitely never here again!

This is a no frills bagel and deli shop in a strip mall in Chester. No frills meaning everything you need to see is out and you just have to read what you want and order. My husband has eaten here before and I hadn't. Each sandwich has some celebrity or funky name so it was amusing reading through the menu. He had some monstrous chicken sandwich and I had a hot pastrami sandwich called Barbara Streisand. Lol. I liked it a lot and as messy as it could have been, it was put together well and not just slapped together like other places I've been to. We are there and on a weekday, there were

Their regular bagels are really the best in the immediate area and as an added bonus, they now have gluten free bagels!! As someone who has been waiting to have a bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel without repercussions, I was thrilled when I found out. While the gluten free are not as large or dense as the regular bagels, I found them to have a sweet, enjoyable flavor. It's important to know that they will obviously not completely mimic a regular bagel but as a substitute, I was very impressed!

One of the best sandwiches I've had! We were visiting family in NJ and stopped in this small town for a bite to eat. Chester's did not disappoint! The bagel sandwiches are so good and they do not skimp on the meats and toppings. Very delicious food and friendly service with small town feel. I wish I lived close to this place!

NJ breakfast sandwiches done right. Reasonable prices, prompt service, and friendly people. This place is located in the green strip mall off 206.

Even though the place can get pretty busy, the people there have a great assembly line going. Eating in? They'll bring your order to your table (with a smile) to ensure it's correct.

What can I say about the typical bagel shops in jersey. It's a tradition on the weekends.. Egg bagel, bacon, egg, cheese, salt, pepper, and ketchup wash is down with some OJ and call it breakfast, lol. Not to bad, price was right.. Fighting with myself about the rating it's a 3 but on the high side just can't come down to give it anything more.

Best bagels in Chester (area). Everything a good NJ bagel should be. Crispy exterior, fluffy interior, served warm, lots of flavor options. Have gotten a lox sandwich and it was fresh and yummy! Multiple people behind the counter that move quickly to serve the long line of people there on weekend mornings.

Can't go wrong with an everything, or blueberry. Can't wait to go back to try the french toast bagel or the tie dye looked fun.

Local bagel shop located in a strip mall near the Rite Aid.

Best bagel in Chester. Fast friendly service with a smile makes this a great spot.

Reasonably priced and service with a smile.

They have a good variety of bagels including whole wheat everything, my personal favorite.

Best bagels in Chester/surrounding area. Nothing fancy or trendy--although they do make rainbow bagels. Just your regular strip mall deli.

Note: it's next to the Rite Aid and it's cash only!

The bagels and bagel sandwiches are top-notch! In my opinion, the best bagel shop in the area. The people that work there are very friendly and take time to familiarize themselves with the patrons. There are several tables there in case you need to sit and I've never seen more than half of them full, most people take it to go.

On weekend mornings, especially Saturday (9-11 am) morning it can be very busy. Go in at the crack of dawn to 8 am and you'll beat the lazy squallies.

Just a bunch of local small town bakers serving up a delicious and richly dressed (as in butter or cream cheese bagel). Nothing fancy, but hits the spot. Just as good as an New York or Brooklyn location but in small town Chester!

On this Christmas Eve morning I woke up to disappointment as my mother broke my heart getting bagels from another shop in town which my brother-in-law prefers. Let me explain, he is from Pittsburgh.

I dream of bagels from Chester Bagel & Deli. They have a crisp, shiny shell that has the perfect combination of everything bagelness (not overkill poppy seed as the bagel shop down the street). The harmonious melody of Chester Bagels Everything Bagel sounds like a choir of angels. After the first bite, the bagel snaps back the sign of a Jersey bagel. And don't get me started on their homemade

When we moved out to Hunterdon County from Hoboken my wife and I searched for two things: good mozzerella and good bagels. If you've spent any time in Hoboken you know that you get your muzz at either Vito's or Fiore's.
And, you get your bagels at Hoboken Bagels on Washington St. The best bagels in the entire NY area, bar none, no doubt. Voted #1 for years in the Village Voice poll. That's right, New Yorkers voted that they are better than you find in Manhattan. No one makes an everything bagel like Hoboken Bagels. The gold standard of everything bagels.

So, we spent many
