Tina’s Bagel Factory

I’ve been eating Tinas MY WHOLE LIFE, so im sad to write this review but its necessary at this point… The new owners have really ruined a neighborhood staple. countless times of them being rude and/​or messing up my order. i always give them another chance because it is right across the street from where i live. After today No MORE CHANCES. They messed my order up right in front of me more then once. tried to give me a bagel that was toasted sitting there for almost 10 mins before the spread was put on, for got my toppings opened the bagel up and shoved my toppings in sloppy. My breakfast is a mess. so over them. BAGEL STOP has better bagels anyway so i guess its now I’ll be taking a drive. Tina’s bagels gets my business NO MORE.

Tina’s is a good spot for a bagel-​ish breakfast or even other simple breakfast fare. My first visit after wondering about this place for years. I knew the restaurant portion was decent so I figured I’d finally give it a shot even though another really good place is nearby.
There was a slight wait when I entered due to only 2 employees being on duty. And one of those was manning the flat top (aka plancha) He was working on tasty looking home fries that go with one of the egg choices. It tempted me to come back again to try them.
I have 3 go to bagel choices, and was happy that they offered rye which is one of them. Even without toasting the outside was slightly crunchy and inside slightly chewy which is just how I like them. I got it with veggie cream cheese and enjoyed thoroughly.
On the plus side was that prices here are cheaper than the shop down the road. On the negative side was the longer wait due to making more elaborate offerings. One more employee would have remedied the situation, perhaps that were taking a break when I arrived. Overall I will return, 4 doughy Unilocal

Grew up ordering/​eating breakfast at this place my entire life and me and my wife would order from this place multiple times a week for our family. Then one day I placed a order and could not pick it up because their parking lot was filled and was running late for work. A few days later I called to place a order and they said they would no longer take orders from us even after I explained what happened the previous time. Keep in mind that this was the ONLY TIME we never picked up a order. Needless to say I am extremely disappointed and our family and friends have sworn off ordering from Tina’s bagels or other wise.

The egg sandwiches do the trick and they are friendly. It was great go-​to place that remembers your name. Sorry this is so late but wrote this on Unilocal before They allowed you to post to the mobile app and just saved it as a draft. I’d give it 5 stars but I know savvy Unilocalers have a slight disbelief with 5 stars haha.

In my search for the best bagel in the Trenton/​Hamilton matrix, I stumbled upon Tina’s Bagel Factory. It is attached to Tina’s Italian resto; and they no doubt share their pizza oven.
While I did not expect much, it turned out to be the best bagel I have tried so far in the area. Not too dense as most of the other purveyors are; Tina does not over knead the dough, leaving air pockets throughout to keep the heart of the bagel light and the skin crunchy. Kudos!
I will be back as time allows to see if I just got lucky or she really knows what she is doing. But, for now, Tina goes to the head of the bagel class.
Nosh on!

the new owner and new look of the bagel shop and italian restaurant are great. Really enjoyed the bagels that I bought for my family. Great selection.

Great bagels!

Great Bagels and a good price. Got a large order of assorted breakfast bagel sandwiches and they did a great job, order was spot on.
