We were in the area (not from the area) and were looking for good breakfast places. A Google search and we thought we were going to a bagel shop? Not at all what we found. We walked into this cute little spot and really loved it! Tried their bagel sandwiches, super delelicious. And they use freshly cracked eggs not the frozen ones which really took my attention and satisfied my taste buds. Prices are genuine as well. Definitely going back again when in the area!

I’ve been coming here sporadically over the last year or so, ordering the same thing each time, and every time it is perfection. Just the best ingredients, best bagels, best everything, and the staff are hilarious! Can’t wait to come back again.

This is a real bagel place. The bagels aren't oversized hockey pucks but they're not small either. Well-made bagels not filled with air. The prices are great and you'll probably get the lowest cost breakfast or lunch sandwich in all of Easton Ave.

Their spreads are very good as are their lunch offerings like tuna and chicken salad. Nothing fancy. Friendly staff. Worth your time to stop in.

Lovely little bagel shop on easton ! Staff is incredibly friendly and after slightly burning my bagel, the person making my bagel gave me a free bagel for the trouble!! Regardless of the burn the bagel was sooo good, perfectly made, and fresh. The store itself is actually kinda confusingly set up ahah like I was confused how to approach the counter after walking up the little stairs and I saw several other people come into the store after me also confused... but its a slight inconvenience !

Yo try this food it's on another bagel might be the best bagel in all of NJ what really puts it to the top is the bagel crew that whips up the sandwich at such an efficient rate! I mean I was there Saturday on a football game for Rutgers and a man named Ryder was cooking it up like a beast and let me tell you he's the most funniest person you will ever meat! I got to say no one or any place can beat the meats here! 10/10!!!!!

My husband, daughter and I got bagels and coffee there yesterday. The bagels were the best I have had in a long time, the coffee was smooth -- not burnt or bitter like it is in a lot of places, and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. The ingredients were all fine quality. Strongly recommend!

This place is small, but it packs a great breakfast. Food always tastes well. I'm a Rutgers student that makes frequent stops at Hole in the Wall Bagels for a quick breakfast on the go before class. The staff is always polite and they do a great job making sure your order is placed early so they can serve you as soon as possible. The place is located in a convenient spot right on Easton Ave. The only set back is that they do have a minimum for credit card purchases, which isn't that big of a deal.

Was invited to stand with friends in New Brunswick New Jersey. The bought bagels for breakfast. I fell in love. I am a bread-a-holic. So when I say great I mean they were of excellent quality.

Stopped in for a quickie breakfast while in NJ for a wedding that day. Was greeted by a guy who should be the spokesperson for the local Chamber of Commerce. Great food, some local travel advice and a really great experience. Go give this place some business, you won't be disappointed.

Classic. Fresh. Delicious.

What makes a great bagel? If you ask us, it’s all about keeping it simple. We make everything in-house so it’s always fresh. Our bagels are chewy on the inside, crispy on the outside, and never more than a few hours old.

Combine a hot toasted bagel with a delicious house-made spread or quality meats, eggs, and cheese, and you’ve got everything you need for a classic breakfast. At Hole In The Wall Bagels, we don’t mess with perfection. Stop by our restaurant on Easton Ave. for the best breakfast in New Brunswick.
