Mt. Olive Bagels

"As a dedicated patron, my wife has cherished the tradition of visiting this establishment every Saturday morning for years, purchasing bagels as a thoughtful treat for her staff. This weekly gesture brought her much joy and appreciation from her staff. Unfortunately, recent experiences have marred this longstanding tradition. For the past few weeks, there have been consistent inaccuracies with her orders, alongside a noticeable decline in the quality of the bagels themselves—they simply do not taste as good as they used to. It is unclear whether these issues stem from training inconsistencies or systemic problems. It's with a heavy heart, she has made the decision to go elsewhere."

"Guys. Ignore the negative reviews. These guys are the best. I recently visited Mt.Olive bagels under its new ownership and was pleasantly surprised by the positive changes. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the revamped menu offers a delightful variety of bagels and spreads. The staff's friendliness and efficiency stood out, enhancing the overall customer experience. It's evident that the new owners are committed to maintaining the bagel store's quality while introducing exciting improvements. I look forward to returning for more delicious bagels and a continued positive experience. Thanks to Ayon and team for bringing Lacass coffee back."

"They never disappoint! New owners are awesome and they know what they are doing. Every time I walk in the door I feel like I’m the first one there with there ecstatic greetings and sense of urgency to help me. They are very organized and I never have to wait too long. Their bagels are perfect too! The amount of cream cheese is perfect- not stingy. And the meat egg and cheese is exactly what you need to start your day. The many flavors offered for the bagels are so hard to choose from, you might just order one of everything."

"Mt. Olive Bagels feels like one of those rare finds you stumble upon that quickly becomes a cherished weekly tradition. The place has a genuine mom-and-pop vibe that's harder to come by these days. Their bagels are a testament to what good, simple food should taste like. I usually go for a plain bagel with lox spread; it has that perfect savory flavor that isn’t too salty. And when I’m feeling more adventurous, I dive into their pastrami sandwich, which is always stacked just right, juicy without making the bread soggy. What's really impressive is how they've nailed the little details. The to-go orders are packed with care, never just tossed in a bag. You get the feeling that they actually want you to enjoy your meal, not just sell you something. It's a small gesture, but it speaks volumes. And while the ambiance is nothing out of a design magazine, it’s the clean tables, the local community board full of flyers, and the faint sound of the local radio station that make you feel like you’re truly part of the neighborhood. It’s this unassuming charm that turns a simple bagel shop into a local landmark for me."

"I recently discovered this hidden gem of a bagel store, and I can't stop raving about it! The everything bagel with sausage, egg, and cheese is an absolute masterpiece. The bagels are perfectly baked, providing that ideal combination of a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy interior. The sausage is savory, the egg is fluffy, and the cheese adds just the right amount of gooey goodness. It's a breakfast dream come true. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make the whole experience even better. This place has officially become my go-to for a satisfying and delicious breakfast. Highly recommended!"
