Our Story
About Bagel Bazaar
Founded in 1989, Bagel Bazaar has been a staple in Central New Jersey for over 30 years. Millions of bagels later, we have begun to reinvigorate the bagel business with a new vision, under new leadership to create the “Ultimate Bagel Experience”. Today this slogan has become the backbone of our company. Delivering the Ultimate Bagel Experience is what we live for at Bagel Bazaar. To be the best, you have to give the best. We hope our passion, effort and pride shines through at every location. Whether you Doordash or dine in, our goal is for everyone to feel the Ultimate Bagel Experience.
What is the Perfect Bagel? At Bagel Bazaar we believe Perfect Bagel must be golden brown, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and perfectly balanced with a slightly sweet and savory note. Our time tested recipe has been enjoyed for over 30 years and counting!
