Since we got several comments posted quickly in favor of Round Dough with a Hole, I just added it to list. Thanks for all of your feedback. To "Jmaes M. Brpwm:" Since this Patch site covers Point Borough and Point Beach, we will not be taking into consideration bagel shops outside those 2 towns when we tabulate results. Thank you for understanding. We do not have a Patch site in Jackson.

Round Dough with a Hole is the absolute best bagel not just in Point Pleasant but the U.S.A.! Seriously, they are hand-rolled, delicious and so big! No one can compete with them! The owner (taken over November 2010) does a fantastic job! Service is great and the place is this "bomb"!

I'm really surprised to hear all the love for round dough with a hole. Unless they have changed in the last year or so, they had the absolute worst bagel I have ever eaten. Not chewy at all, to me it was just a hard roll with a hole in it.

sounds like the local competition does not like round dough taking all the bagel business

I have nothing to do with local competition. Just really don't like their bagels. They aren't made the way that real bagels are made in my opinion.

Maybe they have changed in the last 6 months or so, but I doubt it.

pd, I don't ever recall anybody thinking a chewy bagel was something to look forward to. Stick to the prepackaged store bought brands with all their preservatives, that seems to be where your quality taste buds are most comfortable.

I have never once in my life bought a store bought, frozen bagel. Don't take it personally, I just don't think that they are very good, and certainly aren't authentic. I'm glad people like them and support a local business.

I have to share the love for Delicious Bagels, or sound like a true local and call it Bagelicious. Their bagels are fantastic and, in my opinion, the best in town.

Heather, I agree, they used to be the best before but drive over to see the new champs in town, (Round dough with a Hole) and try one of their new Everything Flagels (flat bagel). It will change your mind like it did mine. I also reccomend their Jalepeno bagel in addition to all their awesome homemade cream cheeses.

Karen Monahan is the sister of the Round dough with a hole owner ( John Monahan the bipolar) of course she will stick up for his lousy dirty brother ! Owner is dirty as well as the bagels,never friendly to us .his mixer to mix dough has mole never been clean since the 2 Spanish guys from up north quit.

I don't even live in Point Pleasant and I travel to Round Dough with a Hole because they really are the best! They definitely are authentically made - and the owner, John Stoll, is the greatest! I think they should rename it :"Round Dough with a Stoll"!!!
my 2 cents

bagel exchange on rt 88 in brick across from jays garden spot. Blows dough with a hole out of the water. dough with a hole is to expensive and didn't it used to be called hole in the dough ? Why did it change the name ? I think I know why.

Round Dough with a Hole is the best! The name hasn't changed. You get what you pay for.... quality! Bagel Exchange doesn't make their bagels on the premises. The employees at Round Dough are always so pleasant and welcoming. I wouldn't go anywhere else! Good luck... Round Dough #1!!!!
Diane... I love your idea for the new name!

ROUND DOUGH . can't say enough about the taste, texture, the SIZE . Wouldnt even want to know how many calories are in one, but who cares. The service is great. I love getting a smile and a big HI How are you or good morning when I walk in the door. Without the little things that make ROUND DOUGH special it would just be any other bagel shop in town. The owner, the girls behind the counter , thats what makes going there so nice. No matter how you want it, they will create it with a smile. Wheres Round Dough II going to be ???????????? Take these bagels out of the area and everyone wants to know how to get them in their town . Do we see ROUND DOUGH II popping up all over the state? Good Luck John and Staff.

Since Round dough with a hole won on patch I decided to head over and give it a shot. WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT !! $ 2.97 for a freakin plain bagel w/ regular creem cheese ? What a rip off. I could have traveled another mile down the road to bagel exchange in brick and got the same thing for $2. Plus, my bagel was ready to go and nobody would ring me up. I guess only one person can work the register here and he was doing something out in the front. First and last time there.

I used to work here for 6 months under John S management and yes very filthy and dirty beyond disgusting ,I am surprise the health department never closed them down! I would not recommend you guys eat the bagels and forget about the cream cheese ,one of my ex co worker were drunk and threw up in the mixer accidentally

By the way people it's not Round dough with a hole ,Round dough with a hole does not exist is Point Pleasant it's BARON'S BAGEL by John Stoll call up 411 information , look up his tax I'd and his corp on the wall next to the coffee machine. I am surprised he doesn't get closed down by Round dough with a hole owner
