Busy like most good bagel joints but they keep things moving along. Food was good. Big selection and all seemed to look delicious. Nothing really set it apart from other local spots but still a solid 4 stars.

Simply. Delicious. Ordered ahead of time for pickup and it was ready to go within 10 - 15 minutes. The sandwiches were hot and the cheese was melted perfectly. We were asking ourselves... wow what is making this so good?! Not only was it hot but there was a generous amount of meat on the sandwich and a perfect balance of all workings. The bagels were soft so we knew they were very fresh and double sided with everything seasoning which is always a huge plus. The shop was busy but not crowded because the staff were hustling and ensuring everyone a short but enjoyable experience while picking up their food. Highly recommend!

Good bagels. This place has been here for years. I have moved south since my childhood but when I come home for the holidays I always hit up Mel's.

On my short visit to Flemington, I liked this place so much that I got 2 breakfast meals and 2 lunch meals and brought one of my Flemington family members here for breakfast--it was that good. For breakfast: I got the Egg White Veggie Wrap 2X. Don't see any reason to get anything else here for Breakfast. It was the best of the best of any place you will eat breakfast. For lunch: I got the Boar's Head Oven Gold Turkey on a Multi-Grain Bagel 2X with Lettuce, Pickles, Onions, Tomatoes. Hold the Mayo, add Mustard. I took the second one on the plane with me out of Philadelphia and it held up well on the way to Denver. Bagels here are excellent. People that work here--work hard, but are rough and gruff--they are doing You a favor by serving you such great food so don't expect friendliness. Don't expect a hello or thank you--just quality food served Fast. And I rather have great food and bad attitude, than great attitude and bad food. You want both? Move to Iowa. There are a few tables inside to sit at after you order--clean them yourself--they are too busy to get to them. Free and easy parking. Thanks for staying open on Labor Day when everyone else was closed. I would definitely dine here again on my next trip to Flemington.
