Sunrise Bagels

"I cannot believe how negative some of the reviews of Sunrise online are, as the food was outstanding and I had a great experience. Back in NJ for work this past week, my colleagues had ordered a ton of bagels from Sunrise and they were really fantastic. HUGE, with lots of options, and perfectly prepared. Told that Sunrise was a favorite of local Montclair legend Yogi Berra, I wanted to head to the shop for a proper breakfast and to get bagels to go before I headed back to the south. I arrived pretty early in the morning (7:30ish) and had very good service, enjoying a Taylor ham, egg, and cheese. The space in the restaurant itself was also great - clean and comfortable, I was able to eat, have coffee, and work for a couple of hours (there IS free WiFi) without troubling anyone. If you're in the area, definitely check out Sunrise. I'm certainly glad I didn't take the negative reviews here too seriously."

"Literally the worst bagel shop experience in my life. My bacon was burned, the bagel was stale, and the egg was dry as hell. The only thing saving that bagel from assassinating me via choking hazard was the ketchup, which they drowned the bagel with anyways. On top of that, the worst service I’ve seen ever. Entitled, obnoxious, and rude. They literally made fun of my last name when my girlfriend came to pick up the food and showed her no respect. Never been to a bagel shop incapable of toasting some bagels. Felt like i was chewing through leather."

"The staff is unfriendly and often rude. The bagels are decent, but not great. They don’t seem to own a properly functioning toaster. I’ve been giving them the benefit of the doubt for about a year, but from now on I’ll just go wait in the line at Hot Bagels Abroad. The interior of the shop, especially the massive skylight, is really cool, but that’s about the only positive."

"Absolutely, incredibly delicious. I ordered a Taylor ham with bacon and it was to die for. Everything you need in a bagel breakfast joint. If you’re from out of town I highly recommend going to the spot especially if it’s your first New Jersey bagel experience!"
