Bagel was very good and the ambiance inside is also great. Ordered online after 12 pm on a Saturday so not many options yet we all enjoyed all of our bagels! I was able to go for pickup right before closing. They added in a free bagel for valentines which was so nice of them! Overall great experience and would definitely come back read more

I went in while walking. Decided to give it a try. I didn't try to sandwich but would on another visit. It was busy but moving. Not a place to sit. It's a grab and go. Staff was friendly. I just ordered a plan buttered bagel. After I paid I was told they were out and I could get something else. I got an egg bagel instead. It was fine just not what I wanted. I would probably go earlier to get more of the items on the menu. They were fast with their service. Just didn't get what I ordered. read more

Schmear It - Egg bagel - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Bagel are delicious but the one guy behind the counter has not customer service what so ever - total indicative of east coast inter city stuck up person- wanted a dozen to go and have to carry it to Croatia - no empathy to help pack it in any way for out travels. What comes around goes around. All the ladies were wonderful but he must have been the one in charge. Don't work in the service industry if you aren't into caring. read more

Great and quick service on a Monday morning. Lots of options and did not have to wait long after placing order. Bagels tasted fresh and had lots of cream cheese/mixed in toppings. read more

Schmear It - BEC on French toast bagel - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The line is long and they run out of a lot but the wait was worth it. I got a rainbow bagel with vegan veggie cream cheese and it was delicious. The portions were just right! They also did a chai for me with almond milk. The servers were kind despite how busy they were. Nowhere to sit inside so prepare to grab and go. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Philly. read more

Schmear It - Rainbow bagel with vegan veggie cc and chai - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I really enjoyed Schmear It because of their variety of cream cheeses. I was able to order an egg bagel with lox cream cheese. It had everything a lox and bagel would have just in a cream cheese version, which was fantastic! Their espresso could use some upgrading, but hey it's a bagel shop! read more

They have a great vibe, friendly staff, and a good selection of regular bagels. The fans have plenty to enjoy as others have said. However, it's not worth a trip for the gluten free diner or a picky foodie. The French toast bagel had me excited the whole way there, but it was a bland doggie bagel with cream cheese. That gluten free bagel recipe needs a lot of development. Otherwise, I would recommend it. read more

Honestly, their bagels are pretty good. It's a really small shop that has a few seats but if you're coming in for a bagel and a coffee, this is a good place to go. Their sizes of their bagels are pretty decent compared to the rest of the ones in Philadelphia and they've got a lot of spreads. read more

After late night dance party this bagel hit the spot! Service was fast and friendly. I was in and out in a flash . Bevels were fresh and crusty and chewy/ I got the Pen spread - lox and cream cheese mix - and they put a nice portion on my bagel that was tossed just tight. Love the bagels a super convenient location to my hotel. read more

Schmear It - Bagel time - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Bagels were tasty and it was fun to choose all of the topping combos. Egg salad needs a little seasoning, but otherwise things were good!

Great staff - Bagels are very good the chicken salad is the best. The atomsphere and the people working there are why I go there. Always pleasant dealing with tons of people. Cant say enough about them! read more

Great bagels, friendly staff, like their Jalapeños cheese bagel and everything egg bagel. Got plain coffee it was ok.

Tired of microwaved, barely toasted bagels, I found this tiny gem. A small, functional space with a couple places to sit and eat. However, this is more of an order, grab, and go spot. I ordered online from the train. I was greeted upon entry, but wasn't asked about my order until what felt like a few minutes later. They were pumping out orders though, so I'm not complaining. My bagel was delicious and toasted perfectly. Cold brew with brown sugar cream, yes. Everyone was pleasant and wearing gloves! read more

Was in the city for a convention and was looking for a breakfast spot close to our hotel. Found this cute little bagel spot, with an interesting spin, basically like a chipotle but with bagels. The place was swamped, and it did take a while, but they were super friendly about it, and they were pumping out orders fast, there were just too many for them to handle. I got the lox with an addition of white fish salad. Being from Jersey, the bagel itself was average, but fresh, it needed more lox mixed in with the cream cheese, but the white fish was yummy. read more

They don't advertise the many varieties of gluten free bagels nearly enough (IMHO). Almost all the bagel bases are available as GF which was a welcomed surprise. They offer can't-remember-the-name local boutique brewed coffee, too. I made the tame/lame choice of getting the lox and cream cheese (Penn) bagel for my first visit and has me wanting to try their more unique signature options. Wishful thinking: really wish they offered a breakfast egg/bacon type option but alas they do not. Also: theres swings/ open table seating right outside the door in the "alley," -- appreciated given Schmear's interior is efficient (v. small). read more

Fast, friendly and convenient. Decent bagel with fun menu options. Prices are fair. Has the Philly roll and it was fine. Nothing amazing, and a little more fishy than I thought it would be (I do like lox, so that didn't really bother me). Fam had plain bagels w/ cream cheese and were content. The place wasn't busy and the employees were super nice! For a quick breakfast at a fair price, do it! read more

Schmear It - Philly Roll on Everything - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Small shop, great service, no seating. I ordered the Penn for $6 on an everything bagel (choice of bagel included) and I enjoyed it. Price-wise, it made sense how much (or how little) salmon was in it. It was chopped salmon mixed into the cream cheese. I enjoyed the bagel itself as well as the amount of cream cheese, I just wish there had been more salmon. Not sure if there's an option to pay for extra salmon but I like my lox bagels with plenty of salmon so I might try that tactic out in future! My friend got the Philly which is lox with Wasabi and soy sauce. She thought it was salty, but to be fair, with a Wasabi and soy sauce mix into lox which tends to me salty, I'd expect a salty bagel. So be prepared, if that's your style, go for it! read more

Consistently good! Dishes had depth, and the kitchen handled our allergy request well. A small issue with the bill, but it was quickly resolved. read more

Door was open, so i went inside and got uncomfortable stares from the three employees. About 2 minutes of this until the male said to me we are not open. No worries, I went across the street to federal donuts instead. Too many good options to ever give this place a second chance. read more

Came here on a Monday around 8:30am and had a pleasant experience. The staff were friendly and helpful. I see from the other Yelp reviews that people are liking it! We found the place because we had been eating the donuts across the street and liked the Schmear It menu. We got the Penn on an onion bagel which was delicious ($6). It comes with cream cheese, chopped lox and your choice of bagel. They did not skimp on the chopped lox, the cream cheese was the perfect amount - not too much where when you bite in it all falls out, and not too little. There were also tons of crunchy onion pieces on top of the bagel. I would give it a try and the prices aren't bad! read more

Solid bagel, I mean as far as Philly bagels go. Got an everything with vegan cream cheese. Bagel could have been toasted a bit more, but there was a decent anount of everything seasoning and plenty of cream cheese which was not too thick and not too runny, just right. The bagels tend to be on the smaller side and the $4 price was reasonable, as was the only $0.50 extra for vegan cream cheese. Service was quick and friendly. read more

Amazing breakfast sandwich that was reasonably priced. Wait wasn't too long. Will be coming back again next time I'm in Philly.

This is a fantastic option for breakfast and really convenient if you are staying at the Hilton Canopy hotel directly across the street. The bagels a fairly big and I like how they blend any toppings into the cream cheese so it all stays out. Yum! read more

They are closed for renovations until summer. They really ought to adjust their hours or say they are temporarily closed here and on Google. Walked here for nothing. read more

I haven't had a bagel quite as good as their French toast bagel . It bagel is topped with subtle amounts of bananas , strawberries and ofcourse cream cheese . The bagel itself does have a taste reminiscent to French toast and was just really good. It was probably better to not toast it rendering it softer than the toasted version. I also had their lox on everything and that too was very good even though they are very light handed on the lox . This is a small ish restaurant that has seating for about five people . I'd recommend coming here if you want a quick breakfast meal and want to avoid long lines and wait times such this can be a good option although you'd be limited to bagels . read more

Schmear It - French Toast Bagel . It's better un-toasted - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It was like I never left NY! The bagels were really good. They pack on the cream cheese real thick. Sis got lox and cream cheese while I got the tomato/basil cream cheese one. Loved it! I would have gotten the spicy one but I was trying to not eat too much spice that day lol. I kinda regret it now but regardless, come get your bagel fix here!! read more

Great Bagel place to grab on the go in the early morning! Every order was made really fast and all the staffs were really friendly and attentive. The place is quite small to sit down since the register is right next to most of the seat, but when the morning rush is done, it's not so bad to sit inside. read more

Schmear It - Loxsmith on everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Love this bagel spot! We are only a couple blocks away and this place is easy to pick up from. Husband loves all the lox options and I love all of the fruit/veggie options. On this particular pickup, I tried the stuffed french toast style bagel with strawberries, bananas, walnuts, cream cheese and syrup on a cinnamon raisin bagel. I missed that big creamy hit of cream cheese though (syrup seemed to take over) so next time I am going to switch it up and get the french toast bagel and forego the syrup! This place never disappoints. Go try a bagel! read more

The Schmear It on 12th Street has really gone down. The people that work in there now make horrible bagels! I feel as if I'm being cheated when I pay $8.10 for a bagel that is not covered with cream cheese. I keep giving them a chance but I'm through with them. read more

Bagels get 4 stars, although - they're toasted by default? My inner New Yorker just died a little. Service was fast and friendly. However, coffee was very burnt. Time to find coffee elsewhere! read more

I feel like Schmear is a funny word, hehe. But it's used a lot here. We stopped by because my friend was talking about craving a loaded lox bagel, and I had a feeling this was a place that could give him the fix. It was! We ordered two loxsmiths. It's more than I would usually spend on a bagel but it was what we were looking for. The staff were very friendly and we were able to hang out on some bar stools. It's more of a pop-in type place. read more

Turkey Avocado on an everything bagel will be in my dreams forever! Very helpful and happy staff.

Good place for a bagel. They offer a few different types of bagels, spreads and mix ins. I wasn't wowed by the bagel or my choice of mix in. The staff is friendly. I wish they had a full menu in store. I wish they had more coffee and cold brew options. read more
