R J Bagels

Very crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. Very fresh, they can run out of your favorite later, so come earlier! I wish they had light cream cheese with salmon or even other ingredients more often-I have seen it once there. They may have it and sell out. The smoked salmon is very good. Coffee could be better, at least for me when I have had it there. They close at 3pm, which can be disappointing. My kids used to ask to go there sometimes after school-now they have learned that we can't get there before they close. Try it-I like it better than the bagel place in Yardley on Main. more

Good: Staff is friendly and often have conversations with regulars and new customers alike. While waiting for food to cook, it's not uncommon for the cook to talk sports or share a joke with patrons. All of the staff tend to address the customers as "Sir" or "Ma'am" or by name. They seem to know most of their customers on a first name basis. A true neighborhood establishment.. Bad: Some times there can be a long wait, as it is a small shop. Granted, it's grown in it's 17 years in Yardley, but the staff and equipment is small and can occasionally get a little backed up.. Improvements: A larger grill and possibly a larger staff during the week. The weekend has a full crew while the week seems to only have a bare bones group.. Other: Considering a lot of local breakfast cafes rely on the bagels from this shop, it's no wonder to see so many people flock in every day. Open daily at 6 AM (except Sundays, when they open at 7), it is a quick stop on the way to work or the train station. A sandwich, a cup of coffee and a smile and maybe even a joke is a great way to start off the day. Daily specials offer great value, and you're treated like a friend rather than a nameless and faceless "customer." Great little shop.. more

This was originally the only bagel place in Yardley. And despite there being competition now, RJ's is still holding their own. Their fresh, hot bagels are unbeatable. A variety of spreads and sandwichs are available as well as the usual chips and drinks. I especially love their garlic bagels. The staff is friendly and prompt. This is mostly a take-out place...good place to run and pick up a bagel on the way to work. more
