Terrible bagels and even worse service. I believe they were selling day old/2 day old bagels as fresh for how quickly these went bad. Beyond that the price is far too high for the quality of bagel you get. I would stay far far away from this place. read more

When we saw that they were under new owners we wanted to give it a try. We got 2 bagels to eat later and 2 bagel sandwiches. We got them to go but the staff was very kind and helpful. The sandwiches were pretty good! Definitely don't let any review before January of 2026 prevent you from giving it a try. read more

We stopped here for breakfast before running errands. And I am happy we did! We both ended up getting bagel sandwiches and could only eat half each. They were so big. I got the BLT turkey and my husband got the locks sandwich. Both were very good. I did read some reviews complaining about the price which I can understand. I think it's $27 for a dozen but if they're good bagels, I'm willing to pay that. Obviously not in every day thing, but if you have people coming into town, it might be worth it. They also sell day old stuff which is significantly less expensive and I'm sure just as good. My only regret is, I didn't try the massive chocolate chip cookie, which looked like it was calling my name. read more

I love Bagel Lovers Cafe! The bagels are the closest thing I've found to a New Jersey bagel. I haven't had a bad bagel yet. The sandwiches are great too! I love how fluffy the eggs are. I guess my only complaint is that they aren't open early enough during the week for me to get a bagel before work, but I look forward to going on the weekends! read more

I was absolutely craving a solid breakfast sandwich, with a freshly made poppy seed bagel, crispy bacon, and all the fixings. Bagel Lovers did not disappoint. Waited about 5 minutes for 2 breakfast sandwiches that cost about $14 and was a choice of multiple freshly made bagels. Will definitely be going back! Quality: 4.5/5 Customer service: 3.5/5 Value for cost: 4/5 read more

The bagel sandwiches are insanely delicious! We came in around 11:30am. If you come earlier they probably have a ton more great options in bagel selections! The workers were so friendly and kind! Also very efficient! We ate in one day and even came back for take out on our way back home. This place reminds me a lot of New York style bagels and they do an amazing job! This place only has a low rating due to a few bad reviews that seem to be from generally unsatisfied individuals. Highly recommend stopping here! Definitely a hidden gem! Our experience was lovely and we were instantly hooked! read more

My partner and I grabbed bagelwiches during our first visit to Bagel Lovers Cafe today. He ordered a pastrami, egg & cheese on marble rye bagel; I got a bacon, egg & cheese on an egg bagel. The service was friendly enough and relatively quick, too. The place is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall, yet the interior is bright with pretty wall murals. They have some countertop seats and tables for dining in, but we grabbed our food to go. When we got home to eat, we discovered different bagels than what we ordered. I was given an everything egg bagel (instead of egg), and he received a rye (instead of marble rye, their flavor for July). These were in the ballpark of what we ordered, but still wrong. I'm not a big fan of everything seasoning, so I guess it's good they really under season them? Both bagels were quite under-toasted, too. My partner said that, despite the wrong, under-toasted bagel, the pastrami on his sandwich was tasty. My sandwich was fine, and I'm glad they got my cheese order correct. I'm sure we'll be back at some point; we'll just double-check that we actually get the food we ordered. read more

Wow wow. Really good bagels, best IMHO in 100 miles. Salt bagels and everything egg bagels were my favorite. Also they have unique cream cheese blends. Great service and the staff seems to be pretty happy too. Will be a regular here. read more

The key to the soft chewy inside and firm crunchy exterior is the fact that they are kettle boiled bagels. My only regret it that I am not local. We had three breakfast sandwiches with coffee for the road and a bag of day olds for later. My Wife, Son and I all throughly enjoyed them. They don't skimp on the components that make up the sandwiches and they were very tasty to boot. This was a Yelp find for me and is a total Yelp recommendation in turn. read more

Do not order catering!!! Background: on Friday I ordered a bagel platter 1 for pickup on Tuesday at 8 am. This was well in advance of the requested 24 hours notice. I paid $112 for 18 bagels, cream cheese, jelly, and coffee. On Tuesday at 8:15, I showed up and the look of panic on the cashiers face told me that they were unaware they had a catering order. So I patiently waited, knowing I had a 9 am meeting that folks were expecting bagels and coffee for. About 8:30, the young woman with shorter dark brown hair brought the platter out and apologized for the wait. I asked "is there coffee coming too?" And she said very condescendingly that the coffee was complementary to the platter and she didn't have any coffee boxes. She offered me apple juice instead. I declined the apple juice, because adults want caffeine at 9 am, not apple juice. I further stated that if they didn't have all the ingredients for my order, they should have called me because they had my phone number. She said "well the coffee was complementary anyway. Take the platter or not, but I don't have coffee boxes." She was so condescending and dismissive, pushing me aside and asking the woman behind me how she could help her. So I took the platter to my car and checked the receipt I had for the order. It very clearly stated 2 boxes of coffee. So I paid $112 for 18 bagels and some cream cheese... or $6.22 per bagel on a piece of flimsy cardboard covered in seran wrap. Had I just bought 18 bagels sliced with 2 containers of cream cheese, it would have cost me less than $40!!! So I went back inside and asked for them to refund me the price of 2 boxes of coffee. The woman refused to do it at that time and said she would do it by the end of the day. It's now 2 days later and I have no received a refund for 2 boxes of coffee that were clearly stated on the catering site as being included. On a side note, the woman that I was dealing with was so absolutely dismissive and condescending to me during this situation. I spent years working in food service. At no point did she apologize for not having coffee boxes, not calling me to notify me OR suggest giving me a refund. She tried to say that the coffee was complementary. So I am expecting a refund or I will be paying another visit very soon to get my refund. So either the coffee is included in the price of the catering OR that was some expensive ass cardboard and seran wrap. read more

I just want to give a shout out to the new owner, I had quit going here because of how bad it had gone downhill, but once I heard it was under a new owner, I came back and it has improved drastically ! place is cleaner, bagels are delicious, plenty of staff and they are very friendly ! Love it ! read more

We always get these bagels when we're in town visiting my grandparents. Came by twice this weekend in the morning for some bagels and all of them were perfect. Crispy outside, soft and chewy inside, perfectly fresh. My favorites are the plain and the blueberry, but they're all very good!! read more

Stopped here while coming through the area. Quick off the interstate, and easy to get off and back on. Bagel was made nice and quick, but it was terrible. Bagel had no seasoning.... And we got an everything bagel. Maybe 6 sesame seeds on the entire thing and the rest was naked. Got a bacon egg and cheese, bacon was soggy, and the whole sandwich just didn't have any taste. It's also pricey here, bacon egg and cheese wound up being $7. They charge you extra for everything, and a ridiculous amount for it, not just a couple of cents. We took one bite of the bagel and threw it out. Waste of $7, save your money and don't stop here. read more

I got the Lox Bagel it was fresh and good. I also got some cream cheese and day old bagels there to go. The host was friendly and helpful and they had a mocha it was a bit on the sweet side but it was good. Over all they had decent options and plenty of sit down space. I would return but it was a bit pricey. read more

Thank god this place is under new ownership. The bagels are way better than they used to be. Service was good. Only place to get a good bagel on the east shore. read more

additional staff is needed, staff needs to pay attention to sandwich orders. I ordered 3 sandwiches, all toasted, none of them were toasted. I ordered a turkey sandwich, not even close no turkey, bagel not toasted, incorrect items. we think we received someone else's order since tje bagel selection didn't match the receipt. the two other orders bagels were not toasted, incorrect items as well. there wasn't much of a line, probably 4 people, there were several people waiting for their orders. bagels are good, but when you combine sandwich orders and just carry out bagels in such a small sandwich making area, it doesn't work. read more

I found this hidden gem, thanks to a friend who frequents. She drives from Grantville just for the blueberry muffins alone. I was also happy to learn that it is located in a little strip mall only about 7 minutes from my home! On this particular Saturday morning she had called for them to "hold" a blueberry muffin for her and by the time we arrived, around 11:30 am., that was the only one they had left! We both ordered bagels--she ordered something coconut with pineapple cream cheese (or vice versa?), which she liked. I like more hearty bagels so I ordered the everything bagel with herb cream cheese. Wow. One of the best bagels I ever had. Coffee was decent as well. We got everything to go but they do have ample seating if you decide to stay. Service was friendly. I can't wait to return and try a bagel sandwich! read more

Came in on a Friday for lunch because I've been looking for good bagels in the area. Unfortunately, I still have to keep looking. It's a homey spot with a good amount of seating. When I came in at noon it wasn't crowded at all but some bagels were out for the day. Bagels are NY style, boiled, with plenty of spreads available I got mostly recommendations by staff. Sausage egg cheese on Jalapeño ; french toast bagel ; omelet bagel (special of the week) total came out to ~$8 I had the bagel sandwich at the store to try out/take pics. Sandwich wasn't tasty at all- the jalapeño bagel was missing a lot of flavor, it tasted like a plain old piece of bread with jalapeños sprinkled in - pretty unfortunate to miss what makes bagels really bagels. The insides (sausage, egg, cheese) were all fine, but tasted like they were cooked from frozen. I don't feel dissatisfied with the price or what I got for the price, but I'm thoroughly disappointed in quality and taste. I'll update the review if the two other bagels really exceed 2* expectations. Otherwise, I really hope this place improves or another bagel place opens in the harrisburg area. read more

Bagel Lovers Cafe - Jalapeño bagel ; sausage egg and cheese - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Harrisburg, Pennsylvania

This is NEW review , things have improved tremendously since my last review! Hurray! Bagels are large , fluffy and a chewy crisp on the outside with those bubbles on the bottom crust. I haven't seen that employee that sold me the stale bagels since I have given Bagel Lover's a second chance. Good for you management, you don't need employees like that. Bring cash if you don't want to use the kiosk and only want to purchase fresh and I mean FRESH bagels. read more

If you want a good tasting bagel this is a good place to go. The cafe drinks are also really good. Just make sure you ask for light ice or the whole cup Is filled with ice. I got the everything bagel with bacon, egg and cheese for 6.75 which is a pretty good deal and the bagel was very yummy. My mom got the sun dried tomato bagel with regular cream cheese, she said the bagel was very good. However, a single bagel there is only 1.25 BUT if you get it with cream cheese they charge 6.15 I couldn't believe it they charge 4.50 just for the cream cheese so I wouldn't recommend getting this better off paying. 25 cents extra for a sandwich. The Cafe drinks were delicious. We added caramel to each of ours. read more

This place is so amazing. We visit every time we are in town, usually more than once. I've variety of bagels and spreads, made fresh daily.

Worst breakfast spot ever they microwave everything and it's Expensive tasted like eating gum

The bagel is thick and taste good but had about 12 poppi seeds on it. They must have been running out of bacon as well because it had maybe 1 piece of bacon broken up on the whole bagel. The eggs were scrambled, fluffy, and tasteless. Meh. read more

Not impressed. Too bad, lots of opportunity to improve. Was hoping for something more substantial. Didn't get any of the expansive bagels as I was leery of the products used in their sandwiches, so just stuck with bagel, schmear and a cup of coffee. read more

Wanted a quick toasted bagel with cream cheese and a coffee, ended up waiting over an hour and a half for the most below mid bagel and for the staff to realize I also ordered a coffee. Coffee sucked too. Wasn't crowded at all less than 10 people in the store. Absolutely absurd. read more
