New Jersey Shouts Out the Best Bagel Shops
Sorry to our friends to the north...New Jersey makes the best bagels.
I know New Yorkers are screaming at their computers right now.
In New Jersey, bagels are more than just a breakfast food—they're a delicious part of everyday life!
Ok maybe not every day, but on average residents consume about 82 bagels each year.

A recent survey by Betway revealed that nearly 30% of people enjoy up to three bagels each week, with plain bagels leading the pack, followed closely by everything bagels and cinnamon raisin bagels, according to NBC New York.
Here’s how the preferences break down:
- Plain: 44%
- Everything: 41%
- Cinnamon Raisin: 27%
We have some of the best bagel shops in the country right here in New Jersey.
The one thing I hear repeatedly when someone moves out of state is that they miss the food, especially the bagels!
They simply CAN NOT find good bagels! People say it's the water!
