Colonia Hot Bagels

The bagels are usually great, with a great variety of different kinds. I would say best bagels around. There are times they are stale, left over from the day before, but rarely. There are times the workers there will give you so little cream cheese it’s like eating a plain bagel. That is the most annoying. I wouldn’t eat ANYTHING off that menu aside from the bagels. The food in there SITS. The older owners always wear a scowl and look so miserable. They tend to make awkward, invasive, and inappropriate small talk, definitely need a brushing up on social skills and customer service. Also, make sure you count your change as I’ve been shorted once before.

This place SUCKS. Wish I could give it zero stars because the bagels are terrible and the service is even worse. The bagels are so tough it requires some serious force to break off a bite. We bought half a dozen bagels at 6am and they already seemed stale, and tasted like cardboard. And even worse than the bagels is the service– the guys that work here are complete assholes, it’s like they are mad that they have customers and are actively trying to make sure a customer never comes back a second time. I am angry we wasted our time and money here. It’s a shame they are still in business.

Not making the mistake of ever giving these people my business again. Went in this morning to buy bagels. The bagels are ok, nothing special. The two people working were incredibly rude. Not like there was a ton of people and they were rushing; I was the only customer. Bottom line, skip it.

The food is good when I go there but the service is terrible. They are so rude it’s disgusting. I leave there disgusted because the attitudes the «ladies» behind the counter have are UNACCEPTABLE and the older man who serves the front is also a very rude and disgusting individual to interact with. Today I have had it and will never go back. I would go in there and drop $ 12 for breakfast for my boyfriend and myself. NEVER AGAIN. I’d rather give my business to dunkin donuts right across the street than ever enter this terribly trained staffed location EVER AGAIN!!!

TO THE REVIEW LEFT BY AHMED S:
That’s actually not what happened since I was standing in line this weekend while all this happened. He never told you to leave or threw your food at you. Clearly you don’t know how busy they get on the weekends. It’s not their fault that someone took your order wrong — it happens. From what I understand, the kid was new and it was his first day. Acting like you did isn’t the way to handle the situation. It was very dramatic and rude of you. This business is very good and I’ve never had a problem there, nor has anyone I know. I think people who have attitudes have bad experiences because they cause the issue. Trust me, I deal with those type of people every day. Stop trying to tear down a good business over a mistake that you blew way out of proportion.

Worst bagel store in area. Two managers overcharge for everything. As long as those two guys are there stay away. It also takes 30 minutes to get an order, Slow and incompetent. Went to complain to the owner who is usually at Clark bagels. The two stores, even though same owner is like two companies, Clark being competent with nice management. Went today out of convenience and guy over charged me again, and when I said something he started yelling at my you are the guy who complain about me! Told him to keep his food and left. Food that’s not even that good. Like I said, done with this business. If someone opened a good bagel store with good service on Inman Ave they would make a fortune.

Just got a platter from here and the pork roll tasted rancid. I’m hoping I won’t get sick from it!

This place really has gone down hill. Picked up 2 garlic bagels today. They were flat, dry, and hard. They also didnt have mini bagels either. Looks like I’ll be driving to Clark Bagel from now on.

First of all, don’t EVER go through the drive thru. We waited ten minutes before being helped and then another twenty minutes before our food came out. The bagels themselves aren’t bad, but they can’t make a breakfast sandwich to save their lives. We ordered two pork roll, bacon, egg, and cheese bagels and neither of them came out with pork roll. The bacon was fatty and half cooked. The jalapeño bagel was decent but only had an aftertaste of spice. If you want a subpar breakfast sandwich, this is your place. If you want a great sandwich, I suggest you look elsewhere.

Ugh so 3^rd time is no charm. Cause I was being lazy and didn’t feel like driving all the way to Linden, I came back here. FYI its now called Colonia Supreme Bagels, and I don’t know why I haven’t written it in my previous reviews.
I go in and of course, lots of people waiting for their orders. In my previous review that was my gripe, it seems to take a ridiculously long time to get an egg sandwich. I order 2 T, H, E&C on everything bagels. Girl takes my name and I wait. And wait. And wait some more.
I move from where I was standing to get a better view of behind the counter. There are a few bags sitting there and I was thinking that they must be for people who phoned in orders. NOPE. After watching a man I assume is the owner walk by and grab the bag and LO AND BEHOLD, its mine. I can’t tell you how many of the workers just walked past that bag and no one bothers to check the name or see who’s order it is.
I can officially say I’m done here, I’d rather take my lazy ass the 20 minute drive to Linden to get better bagels and service.

The food is good. I’ve had better bagels. And I’ve had MUCH better service. It took 30 minutes to get my order — two bagels and a sandwich. They apparently take their sweet time on weekends — even the girl working their with a perpetual frown says so. Bagel eaters beware — you may go gray waiting for your bagel if you aren’t the only one there.
