Goldbergs in Millburn, massive dip in quality or is it just me?

My wife and I go to Goldbergs every now and then for a quick breakfast, but it seems like over the past few years the quality has dropped significantly and the prices have increased steadily.

A bacon egg and cheese, even before the egg shortage, was around $9 or $11, and it’s not even a good bacon egg and cheese. I could’ve sworn that as a kid it was pretty solid, comparable (but not necessarily as good) as Hot Bagels Abroad in SO. Fluffy yellow eggs, decent amount of cheese, nicely cooked bacon, lightly toasted bagel. Today I ordered one for my wife and not only was it $12, but the bagel was over toasted, the eggs were overcooked and sparse, and only half the sandwich actually had cheese on it.

Was Goldbergs always this bad at breakfast sandwiches? Is my memory deceiving me? The bagels themselves are still pretty good, and the price for a dozen isn’t horrible, but even these seem to have lost some of their quality, and the breakfast sandwiches have gotten out of control.

I can get a bacon egg and cheese on a roll from Millburn Deli across the street and it’s still expensive ($8-9 post egg shortage) but they load that bitch up and it’s very high quality. Really solid sandwich.

I’m finding it hard to justify going back but maybe I was wrong the whole time and it was never good. Please let me know what you think!

Edit: and if people have good recommendations for bagel spots in this general area I’m all ears! So far I think the best one within a 5 minute drive of millburn is Bagels 4 U.
