"I love the Mediterranean sandwich but the half salad is tiny. Barely three fork fills. I won't order a half of option again."
"The mozzarella tomato basil sandwich was terrible. I took 2 bites and threw it away. There was very little cheese or tomato. Mostly aoli sauce and limp lettuce. The chicken and Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice Soup was just ok. Very little chicken but lots of carrots. I enjoyed the carrots. Neither item was worth the price. "

"Truly, there is no cure like the Casa Bagel cure. Always so pleased with the freshness of the bagels, and everything that goes on and in them. They are quite generous with the portion size for the cheese omelet sandwich! Yum."
"We need to talk about Casa Bagel. I dare you to find a better bagel in all of North Jersey. These beautiful bundles of holey joy have it all— soft, fresh and tasty, just the right amount of chew, toasted perfection, generous size. Literally everything you could want in a bagel, encapsulated right here. And if you thought all their effort goes into the just bagels themselves …. NOPE! their cream cheese is top notch too. I haven’t tried all their flavored spreads (you bet I will) but I can rave about their strawberry in particular. In a world of sad, over-processed and lifeless fake strawberry nonsense, it is a true treat. Their lox spread as well — nailed it. All that good pink stuff, flavorful & fresh, not too salty. And all of the above is served up by a cheerful, diligent staff. Forget finding true love. Forget winning the lottery. Forget a working government (😞). Casa Bagel the Holy Grail of Rahway. …You know they’re THAT. GOOD. when, having just returned from a trip to Paris, I am still thinking about these bagels "

"I always get their egg sandwich with extra egg, hashbrown and extra cheese. It is to die for - so good and im super picky on my breakfast sandwiches. First time getting their egg salad and also impressive! It's a mighty sandwich - this bad boy is heavy ! Very flavorful egg salad. Plus they gave me a little bag of Lay's chips with this which was a nice surprise. Definitely worth the value for this price! "
"Super fresh, delish bagels. Cream cheese is perfection, also fresh. One ask for this FABULOUS shop, please get a fountain soda machine with Diet Coke in it. I ask not ust for me, but for all who love Coke products from a fountain and not in a tin can or plastic bottle. I make two stops when I get bagels/sandwiches from Fast Bagel. One stop is Fast Bagel, the other for a giant Fountain Diet Coke from Quick Check or Wendy's . I'd rather my money go to Fast Bagel because I love them so much, but not enough to drink Die Coke from a can or bottle. :/ Keep up the tasty work, Fast Bagel! You are a neighborhood treasure and your staff the best in town."

"Breakfast from here is always delicious, but not perfect. The eggs and hashbrowns are always cooked just right, but they gave me a side if crepes instead of extra eggs :( The size and amount of bacon/sausage they give is incredibly small (still good though) Crepes are also good but shouldn't be labeled as nutella crepes. They are completely plain with a tiny amount of nutella drizzled on top... "

"Would be a five if they explained more into what im getting. In other words paying 4.25 for one item and not how many the pictures show. Over though food is very good so despite that I would just go in person "
"Wouldn order again. The beef empanada is extremely dry and mostly just the dough, barely any filling. The beef quibe is so dry I couldn’t eat it, it crumbled down on my mouth, it was over fried. The chicken balls are also extremely dry, even the one with catupiry. It’s like all the fillings were overcooked and nothing is moist or pleasant to bite. The dessert don’t make it better either. The passion fruit mousse tastes like it’s made from powder juice and jelly, the texture is not moussy, yet firm, and the taste is sour but nothing like passion fruit. The coconut flan tasted like plastic, like it had been sitting on the fridge on a open container and it accumulated the taste of the fridge air. Very sad with this order, it was disastrous. The ham and cheese croquette was good, I would say because the cheese gives that moist necessary and ham’s got natural liquid in it. The shrimp croquette was good, and not as dry, but only 2 small pieces of shrimp on a snack bigger than my fist."
