New Jersey takes its bagels seriously, and Morris County more than holds its own. Hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and pulled fresh from the oven all morning, the best local shops have earned loyal followings and more than a few friendly rivalries. Here are the spots our team keeps hearing about, town by town.
Brooklyn Bagel & Deli (Randolph)

Alfa Bagels (Randolph)
Just up Route 10 at 587, Alfa Bagels is the other half of Randolph’s friendly bagel rivalry. Regulars rave about the chewy texture and the signature Bambino sub, and it consistently lands near the top of best-of lists for the county. Call ahead at (973) 361-3311 on a busy weekend morning.
