    Pros: 1. The bagels were plenty, good-sized and fresh 2. The coffee was ok. 3. Parking available 4. Friendly cashier 5. Fast service 6. Dedicated cooks that don't touch money, credit cards, etc. Solely food items Cons: 1. There may be some miscommunication between what you say and the order you get. 2. Prices aren't consistent. 3. Long line at times. 4. Parking is available but can be limited when busy. Further, leaving can be challenging with traffic. Overall, I do recommend this place.

    Fantastic bagels - can't wait to try the sandwiches. OK, Taylor Ham, egg and cheese sandwich this morning. It is great!! The guy that runs the place is very friendly and knows all his regulars. This would be a perfect place for breakfast everyday. Now I need to try it for lunch. 2022-Still my go to place for breakfast in Clifton. The staff is friendly and our orders are filled quickly and correctly. Still need to try it for lunch.

    Very busy on a saturday morning. Thr lines are out the door but it moves fast. They people who work here are quick and efficient. There is a parking lot to the side of the building. Otherwise street parking is available as well. The bagels were good. Large and they have a nice selection of choices. I wish they had some seasonal flavors. Prices are also reasonable and hygienic practices. The cashier will remain the cashier and not touch or prep the sandwhiches.

    Bagel Station on Van Houten Avenue is a long time popular bagel shop on the west side of Clifton. It specializes in, of course, bagels, about two dozen varieties of them. They also, as lots of bagel shops do, offer a large variety of sandwiches, both breakfast and lunch types, with a limited offering as well of by the pound deli meats, cheeses, and cream cheeses. Their coffee and iced coffee are quite good too. One small caveat though; when going there, budget a little extra time for your trip, as due to this establishment's popularity, lines can get a bit long at times.

    These guys continue to push the envelope towards bagel PERFECTION. Perfect razor thin crisp outside layer with soft, warm & and airy inside. The everything bagel is quite possibly the pinnacle of bagels. The cream cheeses are loaded too - for example I always get an everything with jalapeno cc & and a cinnamon raisin w/ walnut raisin cc - absolutely loaded with walnuts and raisins in every bite. Check out my photo - had to take a bite first obviously. There's a reason I'm here every Sunday AM rain or shine. If you see a line, don't worry. It moves quick....and it's worth the wait.

    Great breakfast spot. I come to the area occasionally for work training and this is my go to breakfast joint. Bagels are a good size, well seeded, perfectly crunchy on the outside while still chewy on the inside. Veggie cream cheese always taste fresh and they put on the perfect amount. Best bagel I’ve ever had that wasn’t on Long Island. Kind staff and minimal wait time too. Highly recommend

    I’ve been coming here for years. Anytime I’m in the area and want a bagel, I come here. They have good bagels, they’re friendly and quick. Morning can have a bit of a line but it’s worth the wait.

    This place is so fast and efficient and the breakfast sandwiches are cooked to perfection. The bagels are amazingly delicious and the staff knows almost everyone and greets you with such kindness.

    First time here and I will definitely be stopping in anytime I'm in the area. I got a Taylor Ham egg and cheese on a plain bagel and it is in my top 3 THE&C of all time. The bagels here are spectacular. They have a good variety of items on their menu. Glad I stopped in, will be returning soon!

    Stopped in for a turkey sandwich on a bagel. Good quality bagels from a nice little hole-in-the-wall bagel store. If you aren't in the NY, North Jersey area, you have no idea how good a bagel can be .

    Best Taylor ham, egg and cheese I've ever had. Generous proportions on a fresh bagel. Price is very reasonable. My new spot for bagels. 🥯😋
