I wanna try everything off the menu. Get there maybe a few minutes after they open. I'm sure they sell out quick and also you get them nice and fresh. I got there when they opened and not everything was out. I pretty much got whatever they had ready. I was not picky. The staff was friendly and the market is always fun and bustling.

We had a quick walk at Reading Terminal Market and stumbled upon a bialys stand! It is owned by…read moreKismet Bagels and I was instantly drawn by its cute logo, pink storefront and bialys selection. ＊Caramelized Onion Bialy (vegan) They have some interesting bialy flavors like Buffalo Chicken, Pastrami and BEC, but we opted for a more classic flavor. It was fully covered by generous amount of poppy seeds. When we were eating, some people saw our bialy and also felt amazed. The center was stuffed with caramelised onion sprinkled with sea salt. They reheated the bialy for us so it was served warm. I swear I'll bring a bag to carry their bialys, and run to their bagel shops in Fishtown and Rittenhouse next time!

Visited for some bagels with friends and took it to a nearby cafe. Folks here were friendly and…read morehelpful in the mornings-- honestly a rare combo to begin with amongst breakfast places. 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.

We hit up Kismet Bagels on a recent trip to Philly. I'm gluten-free so was excited when I saw they…read morehad gluten-free bagels and ordered one of the everything bagels toasted with strawberry cream cheese. 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.

The only place I can compare it to is the former Wolfie's on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. It…read moreserved a large Jewish community very well until it closed back in 2002. But, I must tell you... Hershel's Corned Beef Reuben was way better than any sandwich I ever had there. The cut of meat is thicker and the portion sizes are huge. My husband thinks he heard the guy say it was three-quarters of a pound of corned beef. I believe it because it definitely felt like there was at least 6 ounces on my half of the sandwich. I'm glad we decided to split it. It was totally worth the price that we paid for it. We arrived around 4:00 pm on a Thursday. It was busy at the market, but not as busy as it was on Saturday. We were tossed between the Reuben and the Rachel. The difference is that the Rachel has cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. I don't think you can go wrong either way. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The service was great. They split the sandwiches and wrapped them individually. We each got a pickle spear. We didn't have to go too far to find seats. They have bar seating along the back counter that's specifically for their customers. The Reuben was very tasty. I even liked the pickle. I think they have desserts, but we had no room for it. I'd love to return one day to try their pastrami, and maybe even the breakfast. I wish we would have had more time to try one of these sandwiches on Challah bread. The menu has a little something for anyone craving a Jewish style deli experience. It's worth a visit when at Reading Terminal Market.

The bacon scallion schmear had a nice flavor, and there was a good amount of bacon on the bagel as well. My one critique is that the bagel was pretty small for the price. I was expecting something a little bigger and more filling. Overall, it was a pretty standard bagel, but I'd come back to try some of their other bagels and sweet schmears too. The shop itself is very tiny with nowhere to sit, so it's definitely more of a grab-and-go spot.

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.

You would miss this spot as it's in one of the corners away from the higher traffic Stands. They have a couple of other locations with the main one at Rittenhouse Square. Everything in the case looked good but the Sour Cherry Sea Salt cookie stood out. Cherry was tart Vs sour and chocolate chips with Sea salt made for a unique and delicious cookie. Raspberry Bars had a not too sweet filling with the perfect crust and crumble topping. Waited for a minute to get the goods as again the kind lady was supporting a couple of areas. Will definitely return and check out their main location for more selections.
