As the daughter of a proud New Jerseyean with strong food opinions, I and my family generally turn our noses up at any bagel from south of Maryland. But BB's is the brilliant exception, with both food and atmosphere that would do the Garden State proud.
The interior is classic diner, with the line cooks visible from the dining area. There's also a convenient bagel window for ordering to-go from outside. But oh, the smell of baked dough and the glorious stacks of bagels! They're the main decor.
There's a huge selection of both sweet and savory bagels. The authenticity of this place is proved by the presence of salt bagels, flat bagels, and bialys--specialties that are usually only found in Jewish delis up north. And the flavor lives up to the promise of the smell, with the chewy and tangy combo of the ideal bagel. If my poetic ranting sounds like an exaggeration, it's because you've never had a real bagel. I will say the plain bagels are a little bland, but this is true everywhere. I recommend the everything bagels, especially if they have flat ones available.
Finally, service is quick thanks to the to-go window. But it's also kind--I was welcomed warmly and given extras since I arrived close to closing. Trying this place is a must if you're anywhere nearby, or even if you aren't. You won't regret it.
