NJ bagel shop’s ‘overloads’ became a local sensation. But have they gone too far?

Before I go into this manifesto, I want to be very clear that I love and support this particular bagel restaurant, but I feel like we need to have a heart-to-heart.

Bagel Nook

Bagel Nook is known for creating unique and indulgent breakfast sandwiches known as “overloads.”

What is a bagel overload?

They’re colorful combinations of a crazy bagel, flavorful cream cheese, and various toppings.

The Sugar Cookie overload bagel: Consists of sugar cookie cream cheese, sugar cookies, and sprinkles on a tie-dye bagel.

The Cookie Monster overload bagel: an Oreo bagel with cookie monster cream cheese, Oreos, and chocolate chip cookies.

The Fruity Pebble overload bagel: a Fruity Pebble bagel with birthday cake, cream cheese, and strawberries in the middle.

But they may have finally gone too far.

Recently, Bagel Nook announced that they are now serving a pickle bagel.

Let that sink in.

A bagel flavored like a pickle.

Should the owners be put on some sort of watch list? I can’t imagine being the person who decides to combine pickles with bagels.

Have we no restraint?

I don’t know who was asking for this but it seems to be a hit with Bagel Nook customers.

“A pickle bagel kinda sounds bomb,” said one Instagram commenter.

“Hmmmm, I’m intrigued with like a Bloody Mary cream cheese!” said another.

I don’t even know what I, personally, would put on such a bagel, but one reviewer recommends the pickled dill cream cheese.

You can try the pickle bagel for yourself!
