My family and I love Spread Bagelry at Bryn Mawr. The bagels are always freshly and they are the best I have ever had! I like to bring them to my work events and they are always a hit. whenever we plan something, my co workers would always say "Spread Bagels". Our favorite spread is the honey pistachio cream cheese. Another favorite is the smoked salmon cream cheese with big chunks of salmon! read more

Great bagel sandwiches. My favorite is the tuna melt. It has crunchy vegetables, good chunks of tuna, and great tasting cheese. However, it's not too rich when it has a nice covering to black pepper. I've gone to this location multiple weekends. It seems like there is always a wait, so I recommend ordering online and getting pick up. They place the pick up orders on the counter, so you can skip the line, pick up and go. read more

Avoid this Spread Bagelry at all cost!! They have the worse service, the most unprofessional approach I have ever seen. They closed down to get caught up in making bagels after waiting in line for 15 minutes to place an order. A woman came in and butted in line to complain that they got her order wrong for the 4th time...why bother coming? Then after I paid for my bagels, the guy behind me they gave for free. When I questioned why he got them for free and they just charged me, they ignored me. I despise this business. It is too bad because their bagels are delicious. read more

The bagels are small, too dry, and way too expensive! They resemble a New York bagel about as well as a Dunkin' donut does.

A good bagel can never make up for poor service. Basically annoyed to help customers. I hate writing a review so negative but it was notably bad. The gent making the sandwiches was frustrated with the lack of help from the cashier. Maybe others have a better experience than we did but will not make a return trip to Spread. read more

I just want to say that it is always a pleasure coming into Spread Bagelry in Bryn Mawr. Not only are the bagels always amazing, fresh, warm and totally made with love, the staff here never fails to and always greets everyone that comes in with positive energy, kindness and big smiles on their faces. The whole staff are the nicest and sweetest people I've met in the service industry, and especially for working early mornings! I always leave Bryn Mawr Spread satisfied, happy and with a smile on my face. The service here at Bryn Mawr Spread is top tier, and the employees always show and provide immense effort and care in everything they do. Monique, Donecia, Victoria, and Chris are especially amazing and are the sweetest, kindest servers ever! Every single employee here needs a raise for their stellar customer service, kindness, hard work, and positive energy they show every day! The excellent service provided, is what makes me come back every time - From a very happy customer read more

So very rude. The cashier treated me like I was an idiot; I asked for the classic on an everything bagel with capers - she asked what kind of bagel so I said everything. She put it in as 2 bagels and got mad at me for it? Then another woman came to deliver a skim latte to the guy next to me and he asked a question and she goes "no - you got SKIM." read more

These are THE best bagels I've ever tasted. I dream of them. I fear I am addicted? Service is always pretty quick. They are cashless so pay with card or Apple Pay. Pre-covid there was limiting seating but nowadays I get them to go. read more

Disappointing and fairly expensive. I was just a little surprised that a sesame bagel was a bit hard ... certainly not fresh ... and it was an early morning purchase (9 AM). I read a lot of reviews calling them "Montreal-style." If that is the case, I will certainly not be ordering bagels if I ever visit Montreal. read more

Good service and bagels were great. Casual and it's was a busy Sunday am day if the NFC championship game so busy

Great bagels and egg & cheese breakfast sandwiches. Took awhile but they now have online ordering too.

Fresh bagels, good coffee, and a nice selection of other treats. The montreal style is unique and tasty while still being all around good classic bagels. They also have an awesome variety of cream cheeses - I especially love that the scallion cream cheese has fresh scallions. Yum! read more

This place is a "Karen's" dream. They have somewhat decent food but the biggest problem is the staff. I have been here a couple of times and every time they are highly understaffed. The few people that they do have working are usually incompetent and rude. It's honestly a show every time I go. So, if you want to wait an hour for a burnt bagel and be shocked by the staff definitely try Spread Bagelry! Also they don't take cash but don't tell you until after you order so make sure you bring a card. read more

Wanted to like this place so much as I love the one in the city. Went today and got two bagels to make a sandwich at home. Good thing I didn't order anything on them as the marble rye was raw in the middle still. The whole wheat bagel I got was good but also didn't feel completely cooked. I hope kinks are worked out so they thrive. The vibe inside is nice. read more

Spread Bagelry - Raw dough inside. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania

I went to this place as things began opening up during Covid 19 and always tipped generously to ensure they could stay open, and to help the staff. After my last experience I am kicking myself for helping support a business that deserves to fail. Spread in Bryn Mawr will mess up orders, overcharge you, and waste a lot of your time over a toasted bagel. I hate that it is the closest bagel place to me, but take solace knowing that this will probably not be the case for very long. read more

There were only two customers in front of me, and it took them fifteen minutes to get me two bagels with cream cheese. The onion bagel I got was burnt, and the everything bagel tasted stale. The only reason I'm not giving one star is because the manager apologized for the wait and gave me an extra bagel. I'm not coming back. Don't waste your time. @Mgmt: you should probably purchase a larger toaster and an automatic bagel slicer so it doesn't take your employee five minutes to cut a (stale) bagel read more

Friendly staff but little pricy for bagels. They have nice seating areas, nice and clean.

This was one of the most delicious bagels I've ever had! Super friendly staff & quick service.

I stopped in to get some bagels for home. While there I ordered a breakfast sandwich. The price seemed high at $9.00 but I'm happy if the quality was there. I waited and waited but no sandwich. The counter workers kept saying, "Not much longer." When asked. After 25 minutes waiting I asked for a refund since I could see that nothing was still started on the grill. It wasn't unusually busy. read more

Spread make the best bagels in Philadelphia, and their newest shop in Bryn Mawr does them proud. These are Montreal-style bagels, which have been placed in the 2019 Top 50 Breads of the World at the CNN Travel website- note that New York bagels do NOT feature in this top 50. This bagel genre is spreading to cities all over the US, like New York, Denver, Seattle, and Oakland. Spread's creations are excellent representatives of Montreal-style bagels, with a crisp crust from baking in a wood-fired oven and a chewy, dense interior, because the dough is not fermented overnight (which would have lead to an airier, bread-like interior). They have a tiny hint of sweetness, thanks to the honey water in which the bagel is boiled. These bagels are bigger than the typical Montreal bagel because they have a center hole that is about the same size of a New York bagel, unlike the one baked in Montreal, which are thinner and have a larger hole. Because the are denser, many of the bagels are heavier than the New York-style counterparts, weighing 4 1/2- 5 1/2 oz vs 4 oz for New Yorkers. read more

This place is a mess. They say they offer deliver but the apps and services are never available. You call in and no one ever answers the phone or returns your call. You go in and they are so unorganized it's laughable. This place is a joke. When you hire kids, you get kid behavior. read more

Decent bagels, horrible service. Have been here so many times and each time I always hope that maybe they'll finally have my order ready in a timely manner--never the case. Went on a Sunday morning and was locked out by the employees because they were "an hour behind" on orders and couldn't take anymore. Very disappointing and food isn't good enough to justify the poor service. Hoping they can turn things around some day. read more

Poor service and disdainful attitude by staff on a consistent basis. Too bad because the bagels are decent. But they are NOT worth the trouble. Trust me: eat somewhere else read more

Great food, terrible service. People who work here are so rude I can't believe they act that way.

Yummy bagels, great service, will definitely come back! I got the everything bagel and it was crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside

One hour wait for a plain bagel with cream cheese. They lost the order ticket and the owner/manager reacted as if it was our fault when we asked where our order was. He said we needed to be patient, really? I've been waiting an hour for a bagel with cream cheese and I'm not being patient? No remorse or real apology from this guy at all. I'm not sure how they expected to serve this area with only one toaster and a small griddle. They completely failed to plan or prepare and when I finally got my $5 bagel, the taste was underwhelming. Don't say I didn't warn you, stay away! read more

I walked in today (Sunday) expecting to grab a quick bagel and run to work. I walked in at 10:50 and it is now 11:25 and I am still waiting for my bagel. I could've went to a full sit down breakfast.... not sure if I'll return just for this reason. It's unheard of for it to take nearly 40 minutes for a bacon egg and cheese. Employees are working hard but something's gotta give. 40 minutes for a bacon egg and cheese and I am now almost an hour late for work. read more

Great bagels but girl at register this morning very rude & short with me when I inquired about a specific kind of bagel. Oh but she made sure to tell me about leaving a tip after completing my credit card transaction. Sorry, but I could not. read more

Made my order completely wrong. Also, the bagel was burnt so badly that is was like a rock.

The best bagels on the main line. Not only does the place have a great modern feel and fun vibes the people are super nice. The woman that works at the register is great! Bagels are super tasty and the cream cheese flavors are creative. The place is very clean. This is my new Saturday morning treat! read more

The first time I came here I waited 20 mins just to place my order. I was the first customer and I thought that since they just opened they were learning. The second time I came here there was one person ahead of me and it took about 15 mins to get their order in and then help me. I asked a simple question and the cashier couldn't answer it. The atmosphere is great and the place has potential but the customer service is so bad. read more

I want to like this place more but the service is so slow that I am frustrated every time I come here. I have left previously because the wait was ridiculous - and not because the line was long! They are just so slow. They also do not use fresh eggs, which is ridiculous for breakfast sandwiches that cost over $10 each. I've come here several times but think I am done. Came because it was convenient but I'll be going to Up Rhys instead from now on! read more

After 4 visits, I can now say that this place is a solid disappointment. Cool atmosphere, but very poor service and execution. The bagels are good with cream cheese, but the sandwiches are just very sloppy and just OK and pricey. They say that no orders can be placed ahead over the phone when I called a couple months ago, which is annoying, but even worse when the in store service is bad. Recently, I popped in and grabbed a bagel sandwich with only one person ahead of me and nobody behind me in line at the time (aka not crowded). Between the two cashiers standing doing nothing and the guy on the grill who mistakenly skipped my order because they mismanaged the order slips, I waited almost 20 minutes for the sandwich. Nobody has that kinda time and there was no apology for the wait. Even if the service stinks, acknowledgement goes a long way. Unfortunately, the sandwich was a mess, after all that. I wish it was good, but it's not at all. read more

An hour wait for my bagel and cream cheese, wrong order, lost ticket, and complete disarray. We went here during their opening week, they were totally unprepared and clearly should have waited. They had 1 toaster to run ALL the bagels. The toaster failed and burned all the bagels, shocker. I'll stick to one of the many other bagel places in the main line. Maybe Spread should just stick to their Chestnut St. location in town read more

Where to begin - The first time I ordered delivery from Spread Bagelry I fell in love. The cream cheese options were delicious and everything I ordered was correct. Fast forward one month: I have placed four more orders with SB and not a SINGLE order has been correct. With three of the orders, at least 1 or 2 items was missing and/or bagels came burnt to the point of being inedible. Then today I placed my final order with this place, hoping they could redeem themselves, but boy was I wrong. I ordered 1 Choc Chip Bagel w/ cream cheese, 1 tub of Scallion cream cheese, and 1 LaColombe coffee drink. What did I receive? I received 1 Bacon, Egg & Cheese sandwich (extra bacon) on an extremely toasted Everything Bagel. I'm vegetarian. I'm not sure what sort of employees they have working at Spread Bagelry, but unless they are all replaced by human beings that have intact, functioning brains, I will never be ordering from here again. Nor will I ever recommend it. read more
