Have lived nearby Bagel Bistro for many years and have been there many times prior to my visit today. My spouse and I stopped to sit and have a bagel breakfast sandwich today. As we were sitting at a table eating our sandwich, I was very surprised and disappointed at how dirty the place was. It was never like that several years ago. The floor was disgusting. It looked like it had not been cleaned in years. Makes me wonder the quality and safety of the food. We were so turned off by this experience. read more

I love a mom and pop bagel place but this is just not it anymore. I went on a Saturday morning and it wasn't particularly busy (nothing like the other local bagel places). I had to wait 40 minutes for 2 breakfast sandwiches. The owner was impressively slow on the grill and not good at multi tasking, at times only working with one meal on the griddle when there was a long string of tickets sitting on the printer being ignored. When another customer complained, he cited a lack of help which I've heard him complain about on prior occasions but more help won't do anything if you won't cook the food. I also watched them serve up slightly warmed raw potatoes that sat on the grill for less than 5 minutes. The kicker is that after all that waiting, I bite into my sandwich to be surprised with the crunch of broken egg shells. Yuck! read more

Steak egg and cheese on everything bagel. I liked $7. I liked this bagel for sandwiches. The muffins looked amazing. Some regulars were sitting, eating, and chatting. That's about it for my likes. I think they were understaffed. One egg, a little cheese, and dry meat. read more

Wow good things come in unassuming packages... delicious sloppy veggie omelet with juicy home fries and possibly the best rye toast I've ever had.... Counter service, to-go setup, and kinda beat seating area but I don't think I'd change a thing tbh. read more

Nice local breakfast spot! I stopped by to pick up breakfast for my family. Great selection and reasonably priced. They do tend to put way too much cream cheese on the bagels but I found that asking for "a little" cream cheese did the trick! read more

Wow ! Another great tasting Hanukkah party catered by Bagel Bistro. Bagels were absolutely delicious as was the lox, whitefish salad and yummy cream cheese. Special raves to the vegetable cream cheese. Easy to place order, great pick up and fabulous taste. What more could you want? We love this place. Thanks to Alan and Amanda for all their help.

Unbelievable filth!!!! I was using the coffee milk, 1/2n1/2 dispenser next to the soda dispenser and I just started laughing at the total filth. I was in utter shock that they would allow this condition. The main counter was covered in crumbs and who knows what. I canceled my order and they demanded to know why, I was more than happy to point out the neglected cleaning and sanitation of the place. Then the battle really started, trying to make me look like the bad guy because for pointing out the unsanitary conditions. The girl behind the counter asked me to leave due to my negativity, even to the point of giving me the one finger salute. Go take a look, see for yourself! read more

Let's face it---------this is a bagel place. I come here to get the closest NYC bagels I can find in the area. But I really make the special trip to get the bialys. You can't find bialys like I had in my younger days back in Queens. The items were fresh and the service okay. read more

Amazing. Inexpensive. TONS of food. Got a breakfast sandwich, fries (way more than we should have! Nice and crunchy), and a turkey reuben which was unreal. Get it. read more

Bagel Bistro - Turkey Reuben - Bagels Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Solid bagel sandwich: good egg to meat (pork roll) to cheese ratio. Lots of good cheese, but it didn't feel like too much! However, the bagel could have been more toasted but that's probably on me for not specifying to have a toasty bagel. Big call out from me is that the bagel was very small which made for a smaller sandwich which isn't always fun. The place was decently big inside but not that great to sit in. I'd probably opt for takeout next time. Overall, not a bad sandwich given our West Chester bagel options but a little pricey and a bit small. read more

Best bagels around here. Reasonably priced too. Service good too. Not fancy but authentic.

Our go to bagel place. We love their variety of bagels, muffins, and breakfast items. Whether we are looking for a breakfast sandwich, bagel and lox, eggs and bacon, or pancakes, this hits the spot. I love that it is open on Sundays when other bagel places aren't. read more

The Bagel Bistro catered our annual family Channukah party. Placing the order was very easy and Amanda was most helpful in suggesting items and quantities we would need. But the best was the reaction of our guests. Everyone loved the whitefish and lox platter, sandwich tray and we all devoured the tasty , fresh, assorted bagels. Pastry trays and fruit bowl were added successes. I had to give the Bagel Bistro's address and phone number to several of my cousins so they could get the "great food" too. You bet we will use Bagel Bistro for our parties again. read more

Just moved to the area and was hoping to make this my daily breakfast spot...boy was I disappointed. The breakfast sandwich was a 5/10 at best, overcooked dry eggs, cooked bacon that had been sitting in a warming tray for hours, and a dry tasteless bagel. I made the mistake of adding avocado to my sandwich and was horrified when I opened it up. The avocado I got was rotten and black. I eat a lot of avocados, so I know how they look when they're exposed to air, this was not that. This avocado was so clearly rotten that it was black, certainly not fresh by any means. I don't know how you could possibly serve this to customers in good faith. I also ordered a hash brown that I didn't receive, but still paid for. Icing on the cake! $10 down the drain, next time I'll just got to wawa and get 4 sizzlis for the same price. At least the quality will be better! read more

Bagel Bistro - Breakfast sandwich - Bagels Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Just moved to the area and was sad to lose my old bagel store, but already found an awesome replacement. I got the challah French toast and the raspberry cheese muffin. Both are amazing. My wife got a bagel sandwich and loved the consistency of the bagel. Alan even let us try some homemade rye bread; will definitely be buying our own loaf soon. Definitely my new favorite spot. read more

Hadn't been to BB for a few years, so I was excited to revisit them. Unfortunately, prices seem to have gone way up from what I remember. It was $17.17 for two chicken salad sandwiches, that's it. No drinks, no cookies, no chips, nothing else, just bagel sandwiches that came with a pickle slice and a little shot of coleslaw. They were very light on the meat too. And I am confused as to why they used broken toothpicks / skewers, with splinters on the end, to hold the sandwich together? Super disappointing. The taste was fine, but not as good as other bagel places, especially for the money. I tried to access their menu in multiple places online beforehand, but couldn't find one anywhere. Now I know why. We'd have passed them up for another lunch spot if we had found the menu with current prices. Very bummed to have gone back to a place I used to really like, for super-overpriced food. This is the outskirts of West Chester, not uptown Manhattan. read more

Great Bagel Sandwiches. Love the "Lox Ness Monster" bagelwich (which needs capers too!).

I really enjoy coming to the bagel bistro for lunch. The owner is always there making the lunches. The sandwiches are very good, and the portion size is large. I have had the Ruben, and the turkey bacon melt. Both were great ,glad I stumbled onto his place, because it has become a regular stop for me when I am in the area. read more

First time.....LAST time. Went for breakfast sandwich to go. They were out of sausage. Bagel selection was scant. Ordered bacon, egg and Swiss on a bagel. I asked for toasted bagel. It was barely warm. Bacon was almost non existent on the sandwich. When you pay $5 for a breakfast sandwich, at least they should get the order read more

Bagel Bistro - The bacon you see is all the bacon there was. Disappointing. - Bagels Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Just moved to the area recently and this place is right across the street. The bagel breakfast sandwiches were delicious! Service was great and the food was ready quickly. Will definitely be back. read more

The staff is young and not as well versed in their menu. Bagel Breakfast sandwich is not bad. read more

Sandwhich and coffee not worth the price of $9 and some change. There was a speck of mold on my rye bagel, when I took a real good look while eating. Egg was flat and it looked like only one piece of bacon...SMH!! read more

We liked this place so much we came twice. The bagels are amazing. I asked for a suggestion and the woman behind the counter suggested garlic and cream cheese... great suggestion. I was skeptical, but it qwas delicious. So was the cream cheese brownie btw. And I'm really picky about my brownies. Also got an egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel and it was really good. They're coffee and hot chocolate is great, and they have various smoothies (I think I'm going to try tree chocolate one with nutella and peanut butter next time). Yes, I can agree with the other reviewers that the service doesn't always cone with an overly cheerful smile. But they're still very friendly and will offer up suggestions. Pricing isn't bad either. Got a huge breakfast for 2 (egg sandwich, bagel with cream cheese, omelet, home fries, drinks) for only $14. Great little hole in the wall. read more

Our order has been wrong over and over again. You guys just lost some loyal customers. Wow. So unprofessional ETA: the owner talked poorly of me while working behind the counter to my husband and son...WHILE...there were other customers in the store. He proceeded to put tomatoes on his bagel in spite and then said that I was "slandering " him. Last time I checked, slander was FALSELY accusing someone of something...and my claims are 100% accurate. So Dawn, don't message me on here to save public face. The owner has treated this situation absurdly. Can't take the heat...get out of the kitchen. I've been in food and hospitality for 20 years...I get it. So just please keep your "save face" comments for someone else who isn't being publicly disrespected in your place of business. Merry Christmas! read more

We stopped in here this morning for breakfast on our way to SAP. We usually run through the drive through at the Burger King in the same parking lot since it's quick and we really love seeing wonderful Joe that works there, but we had some extra time so decided to give this place a try. Nice, seemingly family owned little gem stuck in the middle of a construction riddled older shopping center. This is a nice little deli / sandwich shoppe / cafe` type place. They do cook-to-order breakfasts, salads and sandwiches and have amazing fresh bakery items. They also carry a variety of groceries and beverages, including specialty coffees and smoothies that you can have made-to-order. (Their muffins come in so many unique and interesting flavors that you would not find many other places, are huge, and were only $1 if adding to any sandwich purchase.) I had french toast... very fluffy and flavorful! My son had a breakfast bagel, which was also very fresh and tasty. Worth navigating the construction in the parking lot. We will definitely be back. My one suggestion for staff: Be more in tune w/customers; make sure to look up once in a while and acknowledge them when they are standing there trying to ask a question, and when they leave. (I tried approaching a few times and had to speak up to get them to look up. Once they did, they were helpful, but I would prefer they acknowledge me without me having to get their attention when I'm standing right in front of them.) PS: If you do a YELP check-in here, they give you $1 off any salad. (We were there for breakfast and I always forget to check in until after I order and am eating anyway, so glad it wasn't off breakfast. Now I have an excuse to stop in for lunch! read more

Bagel Bistro - Fluffy french toast. Yummy! (Just wish they would have served the butter at room temp instead of really cold, since it didn't melt much.) - Bagels Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Love their awesome coffee! And iced tea. The staff is so friendly and helpful, it keeps me going there all week. Their challah is delicious too. read more

I have been to the Bagel bistro on numerous occasions. I have been coming back for the Cinnamon Rolls! It's my favorite one I've ever had, and they're even BETTER when they're fresh/warm, like the one I had today! Better get there early if you want to get one! I also grabbed a pretzel-shaped salt bagel and I had fun tearing it apart and scraping the excessive amount of salt off of it. The bagels are great and have plenty of taste/flavor. Plus, they're heavy on the seeds, which I like. They make their own flavored cream cheese( chive, vegetable, lox, strawberry, etc.), all of which are delicious! The bagels make a perfect base for the easily spread cream cheese, or the egg sandwiches they make as well. There is a variety of muffins, cookies, cupcakes, and biscotti. I suggest trying them all! read more

Inside a bit sterile, doubt we'd eat in ever. However, they offer great made to order breakfast sandwiches which is difficult to find nearby. read more

I really like the place. Everything is fresh and really good. The baked goods are fantastic and the variety is good if you go early. My lone complaint is the service is kinda glum. Cheer up! Otherwise it's a really great place to go and enjoy some breakfast. read more

Full Manhattan-style café with pastries, hot sandwiches, and bagels.for good reason, they're popular--on the other hand, that means that during any meal time, the wait isn't going to be short. You can generally judge a deli on its Reuben, and Bagel Bistro's Reuben satisfies, with a relatively light amount of their homemade Russian dressing and heaps of grilled sauerkraut. It's a good place for Sunday brunch. read more

Bagel Bistro - I just asked for a bagel with lox! Delicious. - Bagels Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Most delicious genuine New York style corned beef special I've had in 20+ years. Al makes his own rye bread fresh. He even makes the cole slaw and Russian dressing. My wife had the reuben and it also was excellent. Aside from the best bagels in SE PA I now know where I'm going for a great lunch. read more

Bagel Bistro - I just tried the meat lovers omelette. OMG it was good. Real meats; not the typical breakfast meat stuff. - Bagels Near Me - West Chester, Pennsylvania

Needed to grab a quick breakfast and BB was the best option when choosing between them and Dunkins (I do not like microwaved eggs. That's all DD brings to the table but their coffee is the best). Located in a strip mall across from Wawa on Rt 3, the BB is a small spot with some tables. They seem to have a good number of Bagel choices and I heard they are good but we wanted sandwiches. We both had the bacon,egg and American cheese. The egg is fried - I like scrambled or omelette style better. My girlfriend had hers on wheat, I had challah bread. Overall they were good. They hit the spot. I looked at the coffee but wasn't impressed with my choices so I stopped at Dunkins to get java. Usually we go out to grab breakfast but when time is limited we will probably return. read more

I love their bagel sandwiches and stop by when I want a treat to start my day. You will wait a few minutes to get your food, but isn't waiting for good food with fresh ingredients worth it? Their Loch Ness Monster is my go-to and my husband really enjoys the breakfast sandwiches. By far the best bagels in the area. read more

Stopped in a few weeks ago to bring In bagels to work. The regular guy was not there, there was a handful of bagels in the display. The guy that was working said that they had a leak in the bagel machine and were backed up. Stopped in again today, same thing, no bagels in the display, just a couple bins stacked on top of each other with a scant amount of bagels. Was never acknowledged by the guy behind the counter, so I left. Don't know what is going on here, my coworkers and I have really enjoyed the bagels in the past, hope this is a temporary lapse and things turn around. Stopped back in today and happy to say the service was good, the bagel selection was plentiful and the bagels good as always read more

Solid-enough breakfast food. Completely random level of service bordering on calm & professional to incompetent & disgruntled. Don't go here when they are busy on a Sat./Sun. morning and expect prompt service or your food quickly. read more

Last time I call in an order, wait around for a half hour after they retake my order, wait around some more because they dont tell you your order is ready, and leave only to find it is not what you ordered, This isn't the first time this has happened to me here either!!!

Coming back from West Chester, stopped here about 8:30am. Very nice place, excellent bagels and other specials. Wife got pancakes, I got a sandwich, Gouda cheese, roasted hot peppers on ciabatta bread. Outstanding. Two young ladies working line/grill as good as any professionals I've seen. read more
