    Their specialty is the French toast bagel. It has powdered sugar and cinnamon on top. Get here early otherwise you won't get any. I got there before 10 and only six left, They have tie-dye bagels and lots of other flavors and lots of cream cheese options according to the menu. You can order sandwich too. I paid $15 for 13 bagels.

    I love a nice, chewy bagel (well any kind of chewy carb LOL), but this place is fantastic! They have every kind of bagel and cream cheese option under the sun. You can make your own or choose from their wide selection of specialties and recommendations. We ordered their Joaquin (bagel of your choice with bacon, jalapeño cream cheese, tomato, smoked salmon, bacon, and lettuce) and a jalapeño-cheddar bagel with veggie cream cheese. Both were great, but I enjoyed the texture and simplicity of the Jalapeño-cheddar bagel more. We also ordered a nitro coffee and their David Rio Chai, dirty style (chai with a shot of espresso). While the nitro was just okay (we've had better), the dirty chai was SO AMAZING! I could not stop drinking it. It had a perfect balance of spices, milk, and coffee taste without any one being overpowering. A must-try! They have an amazing and knowledgeable staff! Super friendly and upbeat. Made my morning.

    Absolute best bagel I have had--yes, this is how I am choosing to start the review. I was encouraged to visit Passyunk Avenue Philly Bagels when I was starving and looking for a filling meal. I was concerned I would be left hungry and less than satisfied but decided to be open-minded. I couldn't decide on the suggestions on the menu and decided to build my own. I chose a blueberry bagel, with egg, bacon, jalapeño cream cheese and tomato (sounds confused, I know!). A sweet and savory option with a hint of spice. The combination was a culmination of flavors I wanted in the moment and did not disappoint. The freshly prepared bagel was insanely delicious and firm enough to manage the supporting ingredients--sometimes a concern when building a sandwich on a bagel. My friend ordered a bialy bagel with garlic cream cheese, sausage, avocado, and capers. Another interesting combination that turned out amazing! We bother ordered their cold brew, which was refreshing and perfectly brewed. Now that the food has been addressed, let's discuss the customer service: outstanding! Every interaction was smooth and genuine. The team was busy but not too hyperfocused that they neglected to be personable. If the food wasn't enough of an incentive to return, I will definitely be back for the excellent customer service.

    Great spot for a delicious quick breakfast! As a born and raised New Yorker, I have a hard time finding bagels in Philly until this place opened in my neighborhood, and is now my usual Sunday morning bagel stop! They have quite a few different varieties of bagel sandwiches as well as varieties of bagels. The bagels are always chewy, fresh and delicious. My favorite bagel (whole wheat everything) is hard to find and they always have them available. Today I tried the Wagner bagel sandwich - they definitely don't skimp on the toppings! The lox was very fresh and they put a lot on the bagel - great bagel to topping ratio! My other usual is bacon egg and cheese or sausage egg and cheese on a toasted bagel. I would recommend any of the bagel sandwiches or just to stop in to get a pack to go.

    Reviews don't do this place justice, at least for the hot honey. This was the best bagel sammy I've had in the city hands down. I got the sundried tomato bagel and jalapeño cream cheese

Love seeing a positive face in the morning! I orders a BEC on sea salt rosemary-- my goto. Bagels were out in ~5 minutes, and it was a delicious bit to eat with coffee later on. The shop here is pick-up only, and on some mornings when I've visited especially in the winter, it's kind of painful to wait inside because it started to get a bit cramped. More just a heads up but not a piece of feedback though since their lot is pretty small. If you're grabbing breakfast in the Rittenhouse area, this is nice option for you! Just know that you'll have to take it to-go and eat it elsewhere.

The everything bagel seasoning was very good but the bagel was mediocre. The bagel was loaded with strawberry cream cheese which had good flavor. The others had regular bagels and had better reviews of the bagels. A couple egg sandwiches were described as being "good" and a plain bagel with cream cheese was given similar review. I'm not sure it's the kind of bagel shop that I would go racing back to at any point but it was decent. A bright light was how good the staff was to work with in terms of being friendly while placing an order. Probably brought this review from a 3 to a 4 based upon the staff interaction.

    I've lived in the Northeast (New Jersey/New York) for about half my life. When I order a bagel,…read moreI'll tell them the type of bagel, whether I want it toasted (always yes for me), the type of cream cheese (scallion vegan cream cheese), and then any additions that I want (usually tomato and onion). When ordering coffee, I'll let them know what I want (drip coffee) with whatever kind of milk (with heavy oat milk enough to change colour) and sweetener (with sugar please). Then you let them know any sides you want. I may or may not be saying it a bit quickly, because I'm half awake, and running on auto pilot, because I've lived in the Northeast for so long. The absolutely delightful lady behind the counter got it all recorded, fired, and sorted as and when it was coming out of my mouth. Confirmed everything, collected my payment, and we kept it pumping. As soon as the coffee was ready, called me over to grab it, because it was chilly and rainy while we waited. When one of the items I was ordering was taking a long time, the staff let me know that the item was taking a while longer than expected to finish cooking. My food came out perfectly done. Also, when they pass you your food, they confirm how many things you're ordering to make sure you get all your stuff. This operation is efficient, fast, and friendly. It's inexpensive for what you're getting. Coffee is excellent. Bagels have that snappy exterior, and chewy insides. Hash browns are crisp and piping hot. Coffee is rich and dark. Genuinely, you can't have any complaints when everything is done just right.

I went to Middle Child a few weeks ago just after 3, only to find it closes at 3. Today I returned, around 1, and there was a good crowd there having lunch. I ordered the Surfer, and the Hash Brown Potatoes. The Surfer is Middle Child's most popular sandwich. It's made on a Ciabatta bun, and has a thick layering of tender, lean, House Turkey breast, with melty Swiss cheese, arugula, blueberry chutney, and Duke's mayo. It's hard to describe just how delicious this sandwich was. My biggest concern was the Ciabatta bun - it's not one of my favorites, as I've found them to be tough and difficult to bite through. My fears were quickly put to rest after the first bite! The bun had a slightly crispy exterior - and when I followed through with my first bite, the tender, soft interior of the Ciabatta was a pleasant surprise. In fact, it complemented the thick savory Turkey, arugula, chutney and mayo! It was one of the best Turkey sandwiches I've had. Now, if that wasn't enough, don't forget, I ordered the Hash Brown Potatoes. It said Hash Browns on the blackboard, see attached picture, but these 'weren't your Mama's hash browns'! They are described online as Latka'd Hash Browns. They are thick crispy squares that combine a potato pancake latke with a hash brown texture. The interior reminded me of my mother's potato kugel, which I still reminisce about. In one word, those fried crispy potato squares were outstanding. It's 'a must try' and goes so well with the Surfer! Last, but not least, the Limeade! It was so refreshing! Not too tart, not too sweet... just right! I'll be returning to Middle Child in the not too distant future!

When I was FINALLY acknowledged; I was told here is one order which was ready, "5 mins for the next one" Okay cool. So the order was put on the counter but since people don't like when you just take the order that you have to deliver i again had to wait and try not to interrupt the conversation making me 2 minutes late for the drop off. What could improve?? Why not acknowledge people walking into your store and maybe pause your conversation because you aren't home.
