Super friendly service from Raj, it was my first time visiting Bagel Cafe and he was lovely and accommodating from the start. He gave me a free bagel with butter which I really appreciated. The bagel was cooked perfectly and the coffee did just the trick. Thank you!! I'll definitely be back! read more

One of the best bagel sandwiches my husband has ever had! The owner, Raj, was very kind and welcoming. I can't eat bread, but I did get a delicious hash brown that he cooked to the perfect crispiness. We'll definitely be back! read more

$5 for a bagel with plain cream cheese... i think that speaks for itself. A BEC was $12!! I'm from NYC and this place was literally double new york prices which is insane. the cream cheese ratio was also wack. way too much. read more

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Staff were super friendly and nice. Food was tasty. I enjoyed the little hints of spice in the jalapeno bagel. Overall good filling to bagel ratio. read more

Don't waste your money here. The food is low quality and even gave me a stomach virus on two separate occasions. You either get stale bagels or undercooked bagels. The health department should be paying this establishment a visit soon after my report! read more

$9.00 for a bagel sandwich with 1 slice of meat!!! I bit into my Pork Roll sandwich and it was ALL bagel. I couldn't taste any of the meat or egg: Whoa!!!! This place is overpriced and the Sandwiches are not good... this is my second time trying them and I wanted to like them cause they're so nice but I just can't pay $9 dollars for a bagel sandwich with hardly any meat. My second and last time. With this economy I wish them luck because both times I went in there and there is nobody ever in there. My order was the only one on the shelf. Should be around $7 for a sandwich with more meat. They charge you an extra dollar for an egg!!!! That should be built in the cost of a Breakfast sandwich. read more

Bagel Cafe - ONE PIECE OF MEAT. This is a $9.00 sandwich! smh - Bagels Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

I would give a 0.5 . This place is a complete rip off and the bagel I ordered was equally bad(semi cooked) too. He charged me 9.99 for a bagel with egg, spread and nothing else. I asked the guy who seems to be the owner...how come a bagel is 1.99 and just adding an egg and spread costed 10$. Infact he said he gave me an additional egg for free and sandwich costs 9.5 + tax. Never going back again and the place did not even look clean. read more

Best bagels in the area. Good variety and the owner is really nice. You always get your bagels quickly and price is in line with market, They have a good variety of sandwiches too. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! read more

Owner is condescending when you give any detail about how you like your order. God forbid you ask that they give you the bagel fit for a breakfast sandwich instead of one with a 2.5 inch hole in the middle. Unfortunately there aren't many other bagel places in the area to compete. read more

As good a bagel as you will find anywhere in the area. Solid (not mushy) tomato slice and a good amount of cream cheese. Friendly service with good conversation. I'll be back. Don read more

Was craving a bagel and came across Bagel Cafe. What a disappointment. Ordered a bagel with tomatoes onion egg with medium coffee. Priced was a shocker $12:90. I had same in Manhattan and the bagel cost me with extra cheese $6.25 and it was delicious. This bagel was fine. Soft inside and a slight crunch. It lacked the flavor taste of a good bagel. The price killed it for me. More than $9 for a bagel sandwich. The coffe was the usual Diner coffee in a pot. ThbDunkin bagel would have cost me less than $4 read more

The steak, egg & cheese bagel is so good! We went for the first time and can't stop thinking about it!!!! Made fresh on the griddle

This place is the bomb. The food is great and the service is even better. Fresh bagels all day. I always come here and I'm never disappointed. read more

Horrible! called to place a bagel order for after mass social and asked if they were still fresh at stick i was told yes they were just made. I picked up my order and after church was mortified as they were hard as a brick and couldn't be eaten. They assured me they were fresh and they clearly were not, so disappointed and embarrassed. Needless to say, i don't recommend this establishment at all. read more

My go to spot I love this place. Staff are nice and the bagels are tasty. They always greet you with kindness. Check it out and support a local business read more

This is a small place and they give lots of personalized service. The proprietor is often there and is quite friendly too. Everything I've had there is good, and, unlike the place across the street, they put cream cheese on your bagel for you. Seems like a small thing, but I really like it and I go there whenever I am craving a bagel. Also: I love sesame bagels and the place across the street took them off their menu. But I only knew that because I went there when the Bagel Café was closed, and I always go to the Bagel Café if they are open. read more

My boyfriend and I found this spot online when I was searching for a nice bagel spot. I was also recommended by my cousin to stop by, so we decided to come in today. Everything about this cafe is amazing. From the atmosphere, to the friendly service, and the great food. They do a great job with recommending their favorites and the sandwiches are also a very reasonable price. If you do not see a certain option on their menu, they will go out of their way to accommodate it for you. We will definitely be back very soon! Make sure to stop by if you are in the area or even close by! read more

The bagels are so good and the owners are so sweet! Every time I am in this area I always stop for breakfast.

Bought 3 bagel sandwiches and one hash brown with 2 drinks spent nearly $45. The hash brown was nearly raw. The sandwiches were fine I guess. I don't recommend for the price as there are other places that are cheaper and better. The prices for the options purchased were not listed. The bag of food was given to me as the price was given. I am sorry you took this as an attack to you and the business. As a random person on the internet and your response shows the level of customer service people get to look forward to while dining at the establishment. Hope they don't spend more than 30 min at the restaurant as your signs posted is not tolerated. My feed back was sincere and not meant to be taken as an attack. I asked if the place served gluten free bagels the man behind the counter said no too much work and doesn't sell. I told him I understood as the ingredients costs more and is not that popular. We chatted about business in the area and shared a laugh. The response to my original was updated 3 times only took the 2nd screenshot from the owner. I didn't mean to have an online fight with fellow small business owner. I'm glad two years to the business was added after 20 min. I am genuinely sorry this was taken as such an attack. :) Thanks for the Reddit karma! Just killing time with an auto immune disease. Another one Don't delete your comments. Keep them up be proud of what you say. When your a paid writer, why stop? Also last time I enjoyed the back and forth the game was on and the birds won! Why mess with a good thing? read more

I was looking forward to trying this place out. I went in on Mother's Day with my daughter ordered two bagel sandwiches with lox and grab two sodas from the cooler and my surprise. My total was $36. I took up the menu and the prices for the bagels with lox were, eight dollars. When I asked the girl the price difference she said it was because I added tomato and capers. The inside looked dirty, and the bagels were wrapped in plastic bags. The girl taking our order was extremely rubbery so I just decided to leave and call it a day. I would not recommend this place at all. read more

I'm shocked by the bad reviews of bagel cafe. Seems like most of them are fueled by racism or otherworldly expectations. Don't listen to any of it!!! My fiancé and I get bagel cafe weekly. The family that owns the establishment is AMAZING, they know us by name and always deliver a great product. I agree the prices are a little steep, but given it's family owned and the breakfast sandwiches are delicious it evens out. Bagels are always fresh and plenty of options for ordering. read more

Ordered an everything bagel, bagel was saltier then a pretzel. Bagels are not bagel shaped they are donut shaped. read more

Bagel Cafe - Everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Norristown, Pennsylvania

I was in a couple weeks ago, questioned the price of my food and was treated so disrespectfully I walked out. Ended up having my card charged anyway. After the way I was spoken to in the store I figured it was easier to just accept the $12 charge instead of fighting it. Taking it as a "live and learn" moment and will never go back. Certainly doesn't feel like a family the way they're talking to each other and to customers. The owner is very rude in-person and online, will attack any review that isn't positive. Can't wait to see what they say to this... Originally never left a review because I really don't like to disparage small businesses. but after seeing so many similar reviews I thought I should speak up as well. Just a little humanity and respect is all we're looking for. read more

Bagels are mediocre for the price. Burger inedible. I threw away 2 upon first bite. 4 sandwiches =$44? Something is amiss.

The workers were arguing very loudly. It seems like they were arguing about a sanitary issue? Not sure what it was about. But not a pleasant place to eat. The food was edible, but not great, and certainly not worth the price. The owners of this business are the rudest people I have ever met. They respond to all negative comments with uninstigated racial aggression, curses, and rude demeaning language. They will delete their comments after the fact. They will direct message you with further inappropriate language. As funny as their comments are - "they don't know how to shout" - this is not worth your time or money. read more

No-frills, good variety, friendly service. Skip the chains and support a local business- with one of the best bagels I've had in some time.

Worst bagel, tasted like frozen supermarket bagel! I asked for plain toasted BUTTERED bagel ! The woman behind the counter looked directly at me and said "BUTTER " Yes please I replied! When I got my order they used margarine or some imitation butter! read more

This is the second private message I have received from the owner, Mohan K. The first was VERY rude and proceeded with name calling. I posted it to show what kind of person runs this business and took it down after requested by Yelp. Three days ago, he messaged me again stating, "Dear Fu we are still here." - Owner, Mohan K Come on..lets not pretend we dont know what your abbreviation stands for. According to other reviews, it seems I am not the only one who the manager took the time to message privately about their public review. Mohan, rather than wasting time private messaging on Yelp to me (after my review more than 2 years ago) and others, how about use that energy to improve and grow your business- you have a lot of negative reviews. Repeat customers are more important than being in business and having people, disliking the food and/or service and never returning. Take the criticism you get and learn from it rather than fighting and never getting better. read more

2+ years and the ban is still in place. The ridiculous responses to Yelp customer reviews, the sock puppet Google reviews, and the wacky direct message to me have all just reinforced my belief that I want nothing to do with this business. Life is too short to have to put up with substandard bagels and creepy managers. 5/17: "Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned." William Congreve said this a couple centuries ago; I think he really meant to refer to Bagel Store owners. Get over it, it's just boiled dough. 5/19: Today's direct message indicated that "Guadalupe" would be "conserving" a lawyer on Monday unless I removed my review. As a bigly fan of all things environmental, I applaud this action. 5/29: Looking through my spam folder I find that the owner of this establishment seems to have tweaked their responses, sometimes numerous times in a day. Today, they are denying what was previously said. Luckily, it's not rocket science to retrieve their prior responses. The "owner", or whichever personality de jour is at the keyboard, should focus on making fresh bagels and serving customers, not posting silly lies as excuses for past behaviors. read more

Bagels and sandwiches are always delicious. Family ran business so it makes sense for the pricing and the family is very nice (: Also all the bad reviews on here are BS... this place is great. Go there on a Saturday morning and get yourself a breakfast sandwich and thank me later. Great service, great people. read more

He was very nice and even gave me a free hashbrown the bagels are all home made and very good 11/10

Came here to grab some breakfast this morning. Was greeted promptly. Nice selection of juices and other beverages as soon as you walk in. Also a nice size selection of bagels and toppings to make breakfast sandwiches. I had a plain bagel with plain cream cheese and it was good. My boyfriend's breakfast sandwich could have used more egg, he said. They have a small seating area if you prefer to dine-in. It was clean. My one gripe is that they don't have recycle receptacles. Really hope they are separating their trash from recyclables. If they are, a sign should be posted noting that. I'd come back! read more

These bagels remind me of home which is so hard to find around here. The owners are so nice also very friendly and the guy is funny. Definitely a great spot to come for breakfast! read more

I had a delicious sesame bagel with cream cheese an drink apple juice. Perfect combo of flavors. The people behind the counter welcomed me as soon as I entered and immediately. Love how unique the bagel are in size compared to other bagel places too! read more

Way too pricey. Bagel was ok, I've had better. Got whitefish which was 9.99, ridiculous for a bagel with not much on it. It didn't seem that busy but took forever to get the order. First and only time I'll come here. read more

Bagels are ok, the person who took our order was snippy and rude, wouldn't even look at you when talking, don't recommend. So, shortly after i post the comment, the business owner posts a response, that dir to his culture he can't look into women's eyes. Well, that's not true because my husband ordered along my side and he had the similar experience. So own up to your attitude and treat people cordially. read more

Good. But they charge more for scrapple than other meats. Not sure why as scrapple should be actually cheaper

Original Review: I'm sure this place is normally very nice and pleasant and the bagel I received was actually pretty good. The reason for my one star review is the way management (possibly the owner) treated his staff. I ordered a coffee and bagel from a lovely woman and proceeded to kill some time by sitting in their back seating area. About 40 minutes into my stay, management arrive clearly agitated and started yelling at the top of his lungs at the staff. It came to the point where the staff walked out on management and the manager asked me to leave as he had to close the store. I couldn't get the details of the argument, but in a service industry, it is NEVER excusable to yell at staff in front of customers and then take it out on the customers by kicking them out. Worst breakfast experience EVER! Updated Review: I appreciate the response to my review from the family that runs the bagel cafe and understand that I may have seen a family crisis spill out into public k viewing. I'm adjusting my review with the hope to try this place again. read more
