Trader Joe’s- Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Crackers (Delray Beach)
Trader Joe’s- Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Crackers.
Simple story to tell, yesterday while shopping at Trader Joe’s, 1851 South Federal Highway, Delray Beach, Florida 33483, 561-278-1493, I “discovered” this 10oz box of Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Crackers ($2.99) and decided to take a shot!
Now you guys know, that this food “reviewing” gig is purely a subjective call- what Jeff Eats may like, you may hate and vice versa! With that in mind, I found these crackers to be literally flavorless! My trained palate, told me that I was eating lightly salted crunchy cardboard!

My husband is a huge fan of these crackers. He likes to schmear them with cream cheese.
Personally, like you, I found them salty and bland!
Jeff,
I had a similar take on these crackers.
A year or so ago, I saw the box and figured what the heck, Trader Joe’s stuff is always good.
The crackers tasted nothing like an Everything bagel. All I tasted was salt.
I’ve bought these crackers a number of times.
I think that you are right, that being that they aren’t so tasty when eaten right out of the box. What I do, is I put a drop of jelly on them Other times I use cream cheese and it does the trick. I also chop them up and add them to my tuna and chicken salads and the taste is delicious.
Long ago when I was a kid living In Queens I could sit and eat Ritz Crackers all day long. As far as this bagel cracker goes, eating one is more than enough, for me. If you don’t put something on top of it, or put it into a salad there is no way you’d eat the cracker alone. It’s salty and has no taste whatsoever.
I think this review is basically saying what Jeff said. Jeff is just much more blunt.

Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Bite Sized Crackers
Sometimes just a little rebranding is needed to get a little spark or buzz. Just ask Dunkin’. Dunkin’ who? That’s not a question that needs to be asked, but now I’m able to tell my kids that when I was their age, it was called Dunkin’ Donuts. Now, just Dunkin’. You barely noticed that change, but I’m betting those DD suits are betting you’ll now notice everything else that their “bake places” have, including crappy oversugared coffee drinks and greasy sammies. Oh well. Their profits are looking good as a result.
More relevantly, here’s Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Bite Sized Crackers. Ahh, good ol’ EBTB. It’s a growing behemoth of a TJ’s-nurtured “pet brand” so to speak – it’s everywhere now – the seasoning blend, on chips, interestingly on bagels (everything but the bagel bagels? what?) and even on salmon. And now, finally, crackers.
Oh wait. I stand corrected. According to my TJ’s inside sources (AKA whoever happened to be the cashier on my last trip), these crackers have been around for YEARS and were just rebranded under the EBTB banner. This actually sounded vaguely right – I kinda remember a red box – but never tried them, never picked them up. Didn’t help that there’s only so many crackers one household should buy on any given trip, and all our usuals were out of stock, which highlighted this gleaming white box of snacktime promise even more prominently.
Anyways, as far as crackers go, it’s a decent cracker. Think of a slightly knock-off Wheat Thin with all the usual garlic and onion and various seeds which somehow is universally accepted as “everything” when quite frankly it excludes a lot more than it includes, and there you have it. There’s plenty of flavor by themselves – I’d almost say too much – which we’ve been snacking on and off on. It is a bit too potent for a cracker, so a little pairing with some cheese is a good move. There’s ample munch and crunch, for sure. In our household, at least, the purported adults like them more than the kiddos do – they can down a pallet of Cheddar Rockets in a day, this box has survived for nearly a week now. It’s a good snack, for sure, but not addictive. At most, it’s a fairly possible rebuy.
My apologies for the crappy pic. It’s what happens when you have to snap one before dawn as you rush out the door. Maybe instead of rebranding myself, i just need a better set up And time. Lots more time. Sigh.
Anyways, give ’em a try if you feel so inclined, and if like us you previously ignored their existence just to be enticed by the new packaging.
Bottom line: Trader Joe’s Everything but the Bagel Seasoned Bite Sized Crackers: 7 out of 10 Golden Spoons.
TJ has a load of Everything Bagel seasoning products.
It went to the well too often with this one.
The crackers are terrible.
If you don’t combine them with something else, their taste is salty.
Waste of money!
I don’t recall as to exactly when, but a year or so ago, I tried these crackers and didn’t like them. Very dry , salty taste. I just tossed the box in the garbage.
As a straight out of the box eat cracker, I really don’t care for them.
As for being a cracker you mix into tuna or chicken salad it adds a nice taste to the mixture.
I love these crackers.
They really taste like an Everything bagel, except there’s no bagel.
