Bella's Bagels In Seaside Park, NJ Is A Hidden Gem

When my wife and I first moved to Jersey, we spent a few years living in a tiny basement condo in Seaside Heights, and that's where we found Bella's Bagels in Seaside Park.

Meet Ricky Bagel, The Bagel King Of Ocean County, NJ

If you're not familiar, Ricky Bagel is the bagel king of Ocean County, at least that's what I call him.

You get his bagels at Bakin' Bagels in Ortley, Lavallette, or in Beachwood, and they are insanely good, and on top of that, he even ships his bagels all across the country.

You can get a box of frozen Ricky Bagels shipped anywhere, and then you bake them at home to get that fresh Jersey bagel taste we all love. We tried them a few weeks ago and were blown away by how good they were.
