Firstly, I want to get something out of the way. I am a genuine New York City/New Jersey Bagel…read moresnob. My experience with Bagels hails back to the old H&H on the West Side of Manhattan on Broadway. They had a world-class shipping business which the owner squandered with drugs and tax evasion. What a pity. My second favorite place in New York is Best Bagels and Coffee in Hells kitchen. Fantastic. So here I find myself moving to the Pittsburgh area and wondering if these people know anything about Bagels. I visited a place called Pigeon Bagels. The lines were down the block on a Sunday morning for that place. The bagels were just ok. They were not super bagels like New York City. They were certainly not worth waiting a half an hour to get a dozen bagels that were just ok. So I had my son bring out five dozen bagels from New Jersey the other day. That'll hold me over. Doing my Bagel surveillance, I found out there was a place in Butler that claimed to have New Jersey bagels. This morning I checked it out with very little hope of believing the hype. I had an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese, onion, and tomato. My wife tried the blueberry bagel. To my utter surprise, the sandwich was really good! If you look at my other reviews, you'll see I can be brutal when it comes to reviewing Bagels. As someone who used to live in New Jersey and who used to frequent H&H bagels, having lived in Manhattan, this baby is the real deal. The real McCoy. The genuine article. You get my point. I'll be coming to Downtown Bagels often. The price for the individual bagels are on the high side by over a dollar, but the sandwich prices are very reasonable. I'm going to give this place two thumbs up.

So when I say Burgh's Bagels has the BEST bagels in Pittsburgh... trust me, that says a lot. I tried the Mother Clucker chicken sandwich and honestly? Best chicken sandwich I've had in Pittsburgh so far. Perfectly crispy, flavorful, and stacked just right. I also got the onion bagel with regular cream cheese and the jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese. And listen... I'm picky. I need more cream cheese than bagel They DELIVERED. Loaded perfectly, fresh, soft, and packed with flavor. What really made the experience stand out though was the people. The staff was super friendly and welcoming from the second we walked in, and the owner was incredibly easy to communicate with and genuinely appreciative of every customer. You can tell there's a lot of pride behind this place. This spot officially earned the NYC approval stamp from me.

Love that this is a locally owned and operated shop! Pittsburgh's suburban neighborhoods are…read moredesperately begging for bagel shops. Out here in the North Hills, we've been stuck with chain options -- so when Three Brothers Bagels came to Shaler, it really helped fill a void. This place is a great destination for all kinds of bagels, bagel sandwiches, baked goods AND really, really good soup. My personal favorite so far has been the potato leek soup with bagel croutons. It was so good that I'd love to see it become a menu staple rather than just a special. As for the bagels themselves, the selection strikes a nice balance of savory and sweet, and the spreads and fillings follow suit. What I especially love is that the sandwiches go beyond just breakfast -- there are creative, lunch-style options that set them apart. And yes, their bagels are chewy and might give your jaw a workout after a whole sandwich, but honestly... isn't that just what a bagel is? Tip: Make sure you get there early or plan to order ahead this place is SO popular and regularly sells out. I'm also looking forward to seeing their food truck out and about. Highly recommend for anyone in the North Hills looking for quality bagels, sandwhiches, soups and some genuinely great baked goods!

The different types of bagels are good, Jalepeno cheddar could have a little more Jalepeno in it, but solid. The real highlight was the sausage egg and cheese, the sausage being freshly pressed and made in house really made it standout, definitely recommend! Overall, it's a real good spot for a bagel sandwich, plus they got coffee and some other treats that people were raving about, def will try next time!

The manager is a cheerful and friendly lady. I wasn't sure if I would like the coffee (I'm very picky; most local shops don't make the cut), and she let me sample an ounce or two. The dark roast was perfect, with no trace of sourness. I had the East Coast Pastrami (which she recommended). It was delicious! The bagel couldn't have been fresher, with the perfect crunch from the everything seasoning. Creamy cheese (not cheap American cheese food, like McDonald's) topped tender, perfectly seasoned pastrami and a non-rubbery egg. The ambiance wasn't top notch: the furniture was shabby and a wall needed painting. However, with smiling faces that's a minor detraction. Thanks, Bruegger's team!
