This love hate relationship has been going on a few years. I don’t know why we even bother coming back..
On a percentage scale, It’s about 80/20. 80% the bagel is made wrong. 20% it’s made right.
80% it’s not toasted or it has the wrong has the wrong cream cheese on it. 20% it’s done correct.
Before you drive all the way home, check your food, make sure it’s correct.
I’m going to start going to Terrace Bagels. Bagel Nook is very inconsistent and inconvenient.
We come every weekend and it’s always the same outcome. Unsatisfied.
If you’re a reviewer, go undercover. You’ll see how they really shine.
It wasn’t even busy when I walked in.
My bagel seemed to have jalapeño cheddar bacon cream cheese, on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. Which was supposed to be jalapeño cheddar bagel with scallion cream cheese.
I came back to the store after I got home and found the bagel was not made correct.
I told the girl it’s not scallion cream cheese. She took the bag and unwrapped the bagel to check. It indeed was not scallion cream cheese. They got a new bagel and put the correct cream cheese on it. Which is good, but in the end, I shouldn’t have to come back at all with a problem. It’s a consistent problem we have with Bagel Nook.
If you have an allergy to something food related, steer clear. The bagels we get are always cross contaminated with peanut butter, everything seeds, etc.
The floor is slippery for the workers. You can tell they slide when they walk. It appears to be grease. You can see the nasty dirty grease all over their shoes. Someone should call OSHA.
Maybe they’ll finally get their act together, when they read this review.
If you’re running low on ingredients, that should be communicated upfront. Don’t advertise a fully dressed sandwich and then send out something that looks unfinished.
“Nook (n): a corner or recess, especially one offering seclusion or security”. Freehold Bagel Nook should definitely be tucked into a corner where no one can find it because this place and its bagels only made me feel secluded and afraid, and anything but secure. The bacon cheddar bagel toasted with cream cheese I ordered came out flaccid and room temperature, if not cold. I asked kindly if it would be possible to get it toasted one more time and the staff said unfortunately they’re unable to, but they can make me a new order. I appreciated their accomodation and asked for the same order, but toasted well done this time. The second bagel had to be a Flamin Hot Cheetos bagel since they ran out of the first. Somehow the teenagers behind the counter were able to burn a thin layer of the inside of the bagel, but not get a crisp toast anywhere else on the bagel. Charging $6.80 only to be disappointed with a bagel I’d expect to get in a remote Midwestern place not really known for bagels, like Minnesota, and instead I’m in New Jersey? I will take my business elsewhere.
I’ve been fortunate to enjoy many great bagels over the years, but the ones at Bagel Nook in Freehold are truly out of this world . Everything about my recent visit was pure perfection ✨. The bagel itself had that ideal combination of a crisp exterior and a soft, chewy inside. You can tell they take pride in their craft, because every bite was a delight .
The creativity on display is impressive, but even their classic offerings are phenomenal. The fillings were fresh, generous, and packed with flavor, taking an already excellent bagel to the next level . The staff was friendly and efficient, and the service was quick even with the constant flow of customers. This isn’t just a bagel shop; it’s a culinary experience that will have you coming back again and again. If you’re looking for the best bagel you’ve ever had, Bagel Nook is the place to go!
