Love love this gem of a place. Honestly one of the top bagels in Philly and I don't say this lightly. It has a beautiful crust but soft pillowy texture inside. The people out front are so sweet and it is a truly small business owned by caring owners. Next step - I will have to try their entrees and desserts. read more

After all the years... Talia's is still my favorite bagel spot in Philly! When you walk in, you're family. I always get the baklava... but don't sleep on the tiramisu- you won't regret it!! read more

amazing New York style bagels with a ton of delicious schmears!! the owners are so sweet and personable too. 10/10 experience

I haven't tried much from here but the bagels I've had are delicious! Talia's (named after the daughter of this mom and pop restaurant, who you can usually see playing around in the front) makes consistently fresh and yummy bagels. They also have a few cream cheeses to choose from (scallion is my favorite). The bagels and amount of cream cheese they give are also pretty hefty for the cost. The family is the sweetest!--I once came in at 4:45, not realizing until later that they had closed at 4 and forgotten to lock the door, and they didn't miss a beat in firing up the toaster to satisfy my random mid-afternoon bagel craving. Love this place! read more

I'm not going to give them one star because their food is actually good, but I ordered on DoorDash today just like any other order and they decided to cancel. I called to find out what was going on, and they told me that DoorDash kept calling them saying that I was getting a refund on every order I've had with them, so they won't be taking my orders anymore since they're losing money. I told him that wasn't true, I only got a refund on the very first order I ever received them from because it was wrong & I'm not going to pay for a wrong order. He continued to go back-and-forth with me and I just told him to forget it, I won't buy from them anymore. They lost a customer in the most ridiculous way, good luck to them. read more

Best bagels in the city! Everything is super fresh and reasonably priced. Plus the owner is very nice and really cares about the quality of the food. Got a Turkey sandwich on a bagel and wanted to get it again the next day :) read more

Run by truly kind people with a well-put-together menu. Terrific bagels, excellent turkey, an impressive array of take-home salads and two kinds of baklava. For those looking for some niche deli specialties, they have whitefish salad and smoked trout! Eat at Talia's as often as you can read more

If you want really good food this is the place to eat. The salads are really good, gyro's are Amazing, and the owners are the BEST people. They're very friendly and most sweetest people you'll meet. Their Greek Salad with grilled shrimp is my favorite by far. I love how they will accommodate you the best they can with your orders. The beet salad and baba guanoush is amazing! Have a sweet tooth? Try their tiramisu and baklava, so good...so so good. I have not been disappointed yet. You have to try their roasted vegetables over eggs, OMG..you'll have a full belly all morning till mid afternoon. The people and food are the best here. This is definitely a place you want to go to for good conversations and food. read more

It was very tasteless, messy, ugly looking, soggy, not good at all! I hate writing bad reviews but this is constructive criticism read more

Great neighborhood mom and pop spot with delicious NY style bagels. They're really generous with the spreads! Last time I was in, I was gifted with a bite of their freshly made tiramisu that was super tasty. This will be a consistent breakfast spot for me! read more

I would like to start this review by separating 3 things, the bagel itself, the preparation, and the cream cheese. The bagel- I got an everything bagel that looked huge and delicious! It was a bit doughy for my taste, and I prefer a bit more toppings of my everything bagels, but overall pretty good. 7/10 The preparation- I asked for my bagel toasted and watched the guy put it in the toaster, so imagine my disappointment when I go to eat it and it's raw. Not even remotely toasted. How did he pull it out of the toaster and cut it and not realize it wasn't hot or crispy? Also, the cream cheese, while there was a lot of it, was globbed in the middle. I would have liked for them to spread it. The cream cheese- I got jalapeño cream cheese. Now, I spent most of my morning trying to figure out exactly what I didn't like about it because, in theory, it should have been good. They make it themselves and literally just purée jalepenos and mix it with the cream cheese. However, something wasn't right about it. It tasted...off. Well, I figured it out! They leave the skin on! So the actual pepper and the skin have distinctly different flavors. The skin is more earthy of a taste and the insides more sweet. I think that when they purée it, they leave the skin on which gave it an odd flavor. Don't get me wrong, it tasted like a jalapeño, because it was, but it just wasn't very good. I'll be back to try other things because, like I said, the bagel itself was good, just undercooked with weird cream cheese. Maybe I'll update my review later with better results... read more

I ordered five $6 bagels with two eggs and selected beef bacon on all of them. There was an option to select beef bacon on all of them. I received all five bagels with eggs but no beef bacon on any of them :| read more

My husband and I decided to stop here after running some errands in the neighborhood. I'd originally planned to go to La Colombe for a breakfast sammie, but stumbled upon Talia's when we saw that Frankford Ave was closed for construction. I'm so glad we did! We were outside looking at the menu when the owner walked up and greeted us. After talking for a moment, I knew this was one of those places that, while unassuming from the outside, are absolute gems. They make neighborhoods feel neighborly, you know? From when he took our order to when the food came out was about 10 minutes, so super speedy. The food itself was delicious, and there was a lot of it. We both had gyro platters and are currently and happily entering nap mode after eating everything. The real star of this place is the owner, though. When he brought our food out, he asked us if we'd had his bagels before. When we said no, he brought a plain one out for us to try and explained how he makes them. It was an absolutely perfect New York-style bagel, and we will definitely be coming back for more bagels the next time we're in Fishtown. Oh, and their large coffees? They're the size of a small bucket. And the coffee is delicious. I'm so glad we happened upon Talia's today. Great food, surprise bagel, and a super friendly (and generous) owner absolutely made our day. Thanks so much for everything! read more

The food is amazing and in large portions. The staff are really nice and service is great. I would definitely recommend trying this place!

Excellent bagels, crispy crust and fluffy inside. I hope to try some more of their menu soon. Very friendly owners and convenient location. 4.5/5.0 read more

The BEST tiramisu in Philly!!! Breakfast sandwiches and the other desserts are incredible too. Amazing people, amazing service and amazing food!! read more

Great breakfast sandwiches and the sweetest family runs the place. Also do not forget to order the tiramisu it's homemade and AMAZING!

Best bagels in town! I don't go anywhere else. The strawberry cream cheese is out of this world good. These new york style bagels hands down the best in Philly. read more

THE BEST BAGELS in Philadelphia! Finally!!! My search has ended. I have found a great bagel spot, where the dough is thick, fresh, soft... and you don't need to toast it! Everything at this place is homemade, even their cream cheeses. They have such an extensive list of homemade cream cheeses, some could even be considered food (white fish, sounds scary but is absolutely delish). They will let you try different cream cheese flavors and you can combine them on your bagel. It was recommended to combine the scallion and jalapeño... incredible, so flavorful but nothing overwhelming. I have also tried their falafel sandwich. Falafels are always a hit or miss with me, some places deep fry them too much, others try to make them overly healthy. Their homemade falafel was the perfect balance! So delicious and you can choose to have it spicy or regular on the sandwich. I went spicy! The spice does not deter from the falafel flavor, really good balance with the veggies on the sandwich. Last, their pita bread gets five stars on its own. It was so thin and fresh, but didn't break the still could hold the sandwich. Breakfast or lunch, this place is great! Can't wait to try their kebabs next. read more

My husband and I discovered this gem right before we moved out of the city. I was so upset that I hadn't had them sooner- I ordered a dozen bagels on our last day of moving and froze them in my now suburban house. These are by far and away the best bagels I've ever had. Just go there, support a family business, order a bagel, eat the incredible bagel, smile at the fact you just ate the best bagel in Philadephia and repeat indefinitely. I know I would if I could. read more

Everything here is authentic and excellent. I've only sat at the bar for food and beverage so can't speak to the dining room service but if you like Greek or Mediterranean food do not miss this place! read more

Delicious! Had an everything bagel with nova scotia lox. Owners are very friendly! Will eat here again.

So i stumbled on to this place on yelp. The photos alone sold me. One of the owners and chefs suggested the grilled lamb chops with lamb kabobs platter. Wow! Was this good. With all the new places popping up in this area, this was a refreshing find away from the crowds. These former New York expats also make great bagels as well as a myriad of toppings. I'll be back for more. read more

I heard there was a place making hand-rolled New York Style bagels, and I had to check them out. Being from New York, bagels are a way of life. Anytime of day, it's the perfect street food that can be made to order savory or sweet. Talia's does just that. Simple, yet mouth-watering combinations guaranteed to make you melt. I put in an order for take-out through the Yelp App and within 7 minutes my order was ready. Walked in and the owner immediately greeted me. He said I didn't look familiar and asked how did I hear about them. That took me be surprise, yet he was right. After talking for a couple of minutes I went on my way. Got home, didn't disrobe, and started eating before I got a shoe off. I should have ordered 2 of them. It's been so long since I've had quality bagels, it made me appreciate them all over again. read more

I'm from Brooklyn, NY and haven't found our level bagels in Philly... I was a frequent eater at a couple bagelries in South Philly but this was just out of the park. First off, the owner is extremely pleasant and has an incredibly interesting culinary history. He himself, was a chef in NYC and worked as some prime restaurants. The authenticity of his Greek/Egyptian roots are clearly seen in the food as well. I enjoyed a chicken gyro and it was flawlessly cooked. So happy I found this gem and will definitely return as long as I am in Philadelphia. Bravo! read more

I've always heard this place was good for bagels in the morning. My wife and I went here in a spur of the moment decision and we were really glad we did. We were greeted with smiles and the people taking our order were very patient since it was our first time there. They let us try all the different kinds of cream cheese for the bagels and we ended up taking a dozen with about one of each bagel. The bagels were very delicious and soft on the inside so you could tell they were recently baked fresh! I would definitely recommend this place for bagels I haven't tried any of the other items on the menu but if they're as good as the bagels were then I'll definitely be coming back! read more

I came in this morning with my brother to get breakfast and decided to add a tiramisu to my order. The tiramisu was the best I've ever had! It was so delicious! My egg sandwich was great, too! The owners were so helpful and nice! They made my brother and me feel like family. I can't wait to come back! read more

Is it just me, or is the staff racist here? On multiple occasions, I've just seen weird stuff happen here. This most recent event, I order something, and I'm made to wait outside in the cold. Meanwhile, there's a white guy allowed to wait inside. I don't want to make a flat out accusation, because their rudeness may just be equal opportunity, but I feel like I've put up with enough from this place. read more

Fast service and delicious food! The owner was very kind and friendly. I was generously given a bagel with my orzo salad and both were sooo good. I would love to come back and try more things when I'm in Philly again. Highly recommend. read more

Truly the best bagels in Philadelphia! As a former New Yorker, I can be a bit of a bagel snob. It wasn't until I found Talia's that I can finally say I found my favorite bagel spot in Philadelphia - and it is the only place I will get my bagels from. They make all their cream cheeses from scratch and their bagels are always fresh. To top it off, the owners are SO kind and named the business after their adorable daughter. If you're ever looking to treat yourself - try their tiramisu, it's homemade and incredible!! read more

Moved to Philly about a year ago and have been looking for a great bagel spot. This place has great bagel sandwiches and coffee. Got to talk to the owner for a bit and he was super friendly and provided excellent customer service l. Highly recommend this place for breakfast and lunch. I'll be returning soon to try the falafel. Tasty, fresh, and local! read more

I was in the mood for bagels a few weeks ago, so I did a yelp search of best bagels in Philadelphia. Talia's came up and The Kettle Black also rated highly. The first time I went to Kettle Black, they were sold out, so I went to Talia's. The bagels and spreads were first rate. I got an assortment of bagels, plus scallion and lox cream cheese spreads. All were delicious. These spreads are homemade and much better than you can get elsewhere. The scallion spread is exceptional. Yesterday, I decided I still wanted to try Kettle Black. I went in there and found it to be crowded with limited selection and high prices. It seems very yuppified and pretentious. The clientele look like dorky white collar types. I left and went back to Talia's. This time, I got the vegetable cream cheese spread and some bagels. The spread was excellent. For my money, Talia's is a better choice. It's in a grittier neighborhood, but the prices are better, it's not crowded, and the food is of very high quality. The service is also great. The people are very friendly and helpful. Talia's is a much better value. I plan to try their sandwiches next time. read more
