Never had anything less than a delicious experience. The bagels are always fresh, the filings are perfect - white fish, pork roll egg and cheese, chicken salad… really the best bagel joint in the area. Quick, efficient service in a classic storied bagel house. Simply the best.

One of my friends told me about Plaza Bagels when I moved to Clifton almost 15 years ago, I can't Thank her enough. The staff is always so friendly and everything is always delicious! I go back and forth between a Whole Wheat Everything bagel with Taylor Ham, Egg and Cheese and a Black German bagel with Vegetable cream cheese. It's small inside so no seating but it's just as good when you get it home :)

Layout/atmosphere*Oven with rotating shelves/racks for the bagels; photos of rock musicians on the wall; takeout only; parking lotFood/drink*Taylor ham, egg & cheese (salt/pepper/ketchup) on poppy bagel - really good; the melted American cheese was spot on and the ham wasn’t too salty*Chocolate chip muffin - solid; little dense

Best bagel shop ive found in this area. I live in bloomfield and all of their shops fall short of this one. Its about a 15 min detour for me but worth it for the speed and quality you get. It was $12 for 2 breakfast sandwiches which is maybe on the mid-higher end but for the service and taste, this will be the place.Parking is a little troubling.

We stumbled across this place when we were researching the area as a potential place to buy our first home and OH MA GAW... Is it amazing!!We tried it out the first time we looked at houses in the area and have gone every time since! We left NYC in 2015 and have moved around quite a bit.... this place made us feel like we were back home!The bagel sandwiches are LEGIT and beyond incredible! I personally have tried both breakfast and lunch varieties and you just can't go wrong with either. I had the bacon, egg, and cheese bagel for breakfast and the turkey and cheese for lunch! My partner is a 24/7 breakfast bagel sammie kind of person and LOVES the bacon, egg and cheese with hot sauce!On the weekends they have special bagels like the oreo flavored bagel. I was sceptical.... but not after the first bite! All of their bagels are awesome! Really..... you can't miss at this place!It's nothing fancy. It's pretty tight, esp when busy but totally worth it! The parking lot is also tight, so keep that in mind if you have a big SUV and/or you come during peak hours. They make everything to order, but service is pretty quick and you always walk away with a hot sandwich and a smile!We just bought our first house and we look forward to coming to Plaza Bagel A LOT! If you find yourself in the Clifton area... DEF check it out!Parking: The parking lot is free but it is not big and def tight. If you have an SUV, esp a bigger one, you are likely going to struggle in the lot esp during peak times. Compact and other sedans or smaller SUVs should be fine, but be prepared for some tight angles! You may need to find alternative or street parking during peak hours.Wheelchair accessibility: This is a tight spot. While it is def wheelchair accessible, it might be a little uncomfortable for some, esp those with the much larger electric chairs. But these guys are so awesome, that I am certain they would make certain all of their guests are able to order and get their order - so give them a chance!

Plaza Bagel is one of those places one would easily pass by and never know it existed, unless you either look on a map, or accidentally stumbled upon it when driving or walking by. It's neatly tucked in back of a block long business strip, with no street side entrance, only a back parking lot one. The food, especially the bagels and bagel sandwiches are particularly good; the coffee quite satisfactory. The service is very friendly as well. I would like however, for them to be a little more more open with their listed prices, as some items - specialty bagels for one, to have them postedVegetarian options: Small selection, mostly within cream cheese typesDietary restrictions: They do post a sign regarding potential allergens, but use discretion.Parking: Small parking lot with limited space due to multiple businesses on site.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly service.Wheelchair accessibility: Limited maneuvering room inside.

Bagels were on the hard side, service was good, & I appreciate being thanked. Line is frequently long & wish people would move out of the way. Wish there was an express line for people just wanting bagels & nothing else.
