      Simply the best. Their service, especially Carianne, makes me continue to come back. They go above and beyond (like when they texted to let me know a fresh batch of their famous Hummus was being made--tip, made Wed or Thurs and is sold out fast). Try their Salmon Tartare. Its 10/10.

      Great bagels. Service is great as Cary & Jenna went to find variety I wanted as patiently as can be. The go-to bagel spot.

      Been to Sonny's a handful of times now so I'm
      comfortable leaving an honest review. Just a disclaimer, I've gotten the exact same
      Thing every time. Cream cheese, lox, tomato, onion. Clearly they are doing a good job if I returned. Fresh is the key and they have good bagels. I have other bagel shops closer to work, but Sonny's has delivered consistently so I continue coming. Give them a try if you already haven't. ENJOY!!!

      I've been a regular customer of Sonny's Bagels since moving to the area five years ago. It's absolutely no surprise that Sonny's was voted among the top bagel shops in NJ! If you're lucky enough to have the opportunity dive into that delicious fluffiness when the bagels come out of the oven it's the balm. The fixins' are also great (especially if you're a fan of smoked fish). And Jason is one of the friendliest and kindest shop owners I ever had the pleasure of meeting.

      They were quick and yummy. Next time I'm tempted to try the salmon bagel. It looked very scrumptious

      Not sure what's going on there. Here is the whitefish sandwich. Great except for the fact that there is barely any whitefish. $9. Bummer

      "Whitefish, tomato, onion"  plenty of tomato and onion.  Can you find the whitefish?

      Where do I begin? I went on a Sunday for the first time at around 10am and it was packed. The store is dated, with dust bunnies. They really need a paint job but Im sure if they do sadly the bagels wouldn't be this delicious.

      I ordered 2 bagels with Lox and Cream cheese toasted and I think I died and went to Heaven. Both the Lox and Cream Cheese was placed generously on the bagel. It was toasted to perfection. Crunchy and warm on the outside and soft on the inside. Im originally from NYC so trust me when I tell you I know a good bagel and this here is pretty effin good.

      When my Husband and I finished I said I think i just found one of my add ons when I host brunch at the house. They have every bagel you can think off. They even have plain mini to satisfy your guilty pleasure.

      The staff was friendly and fast. The price was $22 for two bagels with lox and a plain cinnamon raisin bagel, which is worth it.

      I will most certainly return.

      Great bagels! Not that impressed by the cream cheeses but the friendly staff makes this an awesome place. Line moves quickly too.
