Morristown Bagels & Deli, located at 121 Morris Street in Morristown, New Jersey, is a longtime local favorite known for its hand-rolled bagels and hearty breakfast sandwiches.



The shop has been family-owned for more than 75 years and prides itself on baking bagels fresh daily. Popular menu items include classic New Jersey combinations like Taylor ham (also known as pork roll), egg, and cheese on a bagel, along with a wide variety of cream cheese spreads, Boar’s Head deli sandwiches, and other breakfast and lunch options.



Morristown Bagels & Deli uses Taylor ham, which is the term most commonly used in northern New Jersey, including Morristown. While “Taylor ham” and “pork roll” refer to the same product -- a seasoned, cured pork product invented by John Taylor in Trenton in the 1850s—the name you hear depends on where you are in the state.

In northern New Jersey, it’s almost always called Taylor ham, after the original brand name, while in southern and central parts of the state, people say pork roll. I enjoyed my Taylor ham, egg, and cheese bagel, which is not unlike a good ol' fashioned bologna sandwich.
