Hello Jersey Bagel Enthusiasts!
We’re thrilled to share some news with our community. After years of serving up mouthwatering bagels and unforgettable experiences in Somerset, Fast Bagel is expanding its horizons. We’re ecstatic to announce the launch of our brand-new location in Woodbridge!
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Our story began in 1976 as The Bagel Peddler, a humble establishment in Somerset, NJ. With a unique recipe and a vision, we set out to wholesale delectable Jersey bagels to local eateries, hotels, and institutions. The response was overwhelming. Before we knew it, our bakery was bustling with activity, sending out bags of fresh bagels every dawn.
The 90s saw us expanding our retail operations, introducing a flat-top grill that soon became the heart of our hot sandwich offerings. It wasn’t long before ‘The Peddler’ became the go-to breakfast spot for Rutgers Students and bagel connoisseurs around town looking for the perfect bagel sandwich to start their day.
Recognizing the potential for growth, entrepreneur Spencer Peller took the reins in 2019, transforming the store on Easton Ave into the first-ever Fast Bagel. The community’s embrace was heartwarming, and Fast Bagel quickly became the #1 spot for bagel lovers in the area.

What We Offer
At Fast Bagel, we pride ourselves on a diverse menu that’s sure to satisfy your morning cravings. From savory stacks loaded with fresh ingredients to sweet spreads that melt in your mouth, there’s something for everyone.
And let’s not forget our fresh Italian coffee that promises to kickstart your day. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic cream cheese bagel, a hearty grilled sandwich, or just a quick coffee fix, we’ve got you covered.
