Mean and ableist. The bagels taste good when fresh but the staff are horrible. My mother used order them all the time, but stopped because of awful way the staff treat her. She has serious arthritis, so she needs the bagels cut. Every time she asks, the staff roll their eyes at her, make her feel horrible for asking. They HAVE a bagel cutter--sitting right next to their mean, strawberry-flavored bagel faces. So it's extra weird. Especially when they snap at her, "WE DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT!!!" Even without debilitating arthritis, it's extremely messy having to cut a whole bag of bagels by hand at home, especially when they're covered with stuff. It's dumb. Like I wouldn't ever make a catering order because of they refuse to cut them--and we have lots of occasions to. Last time I checked, no one's dying over bagels, so, yeah, you do have time, to be kind kind. Time to be a good neighbor, time to not be ageist and ableist, and time to act like a normal person. Anyway, we love bagels. But since it just bagels, I'm fine with going somewhere else. read more

Ran inside hangry looking for ANYTHING to eat. Decided on a classic egg and cheese on a bagel. I don't know if I was just too hungry, but this is one of the best egg and cheese sandwiches I had ever had. The egg were cooked well and the cheese didn't make the bagel soggy. It was great. The true test will be when I come back on a normal hunger level. read more

I have to say that this was a terrible few days for me. They sold me a scallion cream cheese that clearly was very very bad and I was sick for three days last two days of work and just finally starting to feel better the Wednesday after this Saturday, I bought it. This is horrendous food safety practices. I don't believe that it should've been sold after five days, but it wasn't a stapled bag when they gave it to me. read more

Really friendly service at The Bagel Place! I ordered an everything bagel with lox spread as well as half a dozen bagels to bring home. Bagels are chewy and well-seasoned. We got our bagels to go, but thought the shop was cute a comfortable while we had our short wait. An appreciated breakfast the morning after a late night! read more

After sitting on mute while throwing in a big smile here and there to show I am actively listening for 3 consecutive zoom calls this morning, I needed a bagel to reward myself for this life changing work. The homie mentioned this place was close and "pretty good," so I put all my trust in her. She ordered her bagel via mobile app because she is too embarrassed to ask for her bagel scooped out in person, and I wanted to order in person because I only fear God...and because I wanted no cheese on my bagel and I don't trust the little notes section in the mobile order to be read. The staff here is delightful, smiling and enthusiastically taking my order. I always get a BEC with no cheese, add avocado. "Johnny, you get a Bacon Egg and Cheese with no cheese?" Yeah I do because I am an individual with personal preference and the avocado gives the soft texture to make up for lack of cheese. Stop hatin. Also add some hot sauce or ketchup and it's immaculate. I waited about 5 minutes at one of the many tables in this place, among a few people jamming away at their laptops with their noise canceling headphones on. My anxiety of "damn i should be working too" set in and I whipped out my phone to begin writing this review. After typing and deleting the first sentence 3 times, my name was called. Great service. My BEC no cheese and add avocado was good as they provided ample bacon and like 2 FULL eggs. The only thing was I asked for it toasted and it didn't seem toasted. God I feel like a Karen even typing that, but I do love my everything bagel toasted crispy. I also think my expectations are F'd up from NYC bagels, as that has become my standard. Black Seed Bagels really just performs on a different level. Best bagels in nyc by a mile dont @ me. All in all, I love the Bagel Place and will be back. And what a GREAT name honestly. "Where'd you get that from?" ... "Oh yeah it's heat! I got it from the Bagel Place!" ahahaha I love that name. I want to open a restaurant one day called "The Chicken Spot." Not sure what kind of food we will specialize in yet that's tbd...... I'll keep y'all updated. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

I'm not sure how I haven't written a review here yet. This is my FAVORITE bagel place in the city. The bagels are perfectly soft and chewy with a little crunch when toasted. The service is so friendly and unexpected from a place where the service is speedy. They genuinely care about their customers and even have kids books and toys to keep your child entertained while you wait or eat. It's definitely a neighborhood family place and one of my favorites. read more

I love this place. It's got great vibes, friendly staff, delicious bagels, and good coffee. I work from here usually once a week, and have tried several bagels/sandwiches on the menu, and I really do think they are the best bagel in Philly. Doesn't hurt that they are also located in the best neighborhood in town too. I'm currently addicted to the Avocado BLT on a toasted everything bagel, add a friend egg - highly recommend. read more

This place is a great addition to the neighborhood and they make great bagels! Always happy to bring my guests here or else bring bags of bagels for the road! Breakfast bagels or lunch bagels are always a good choice. Love the variety of cream cheese. read more

Okay I LOVE the bagel place, I think it's cute, the location is great, always service with a smile, and I would love to come spend half a day working here from their comfy lounge area. But I had to knock a star off because their bagels really are hit or miss. Sometimes they're fresh, soft, not too chewy, and perfectly toasted. Other times my jaw pops out of place hammering on them. That being said, I LOVE their sando options. I am a huge fan of the lox cream cheese for a group, and my go-to individual sando is a toasted everything w/ jalapeño lime cream cheese, bacon, and red onions. And, I always grab a bag of salmon skins for my pupper. read more

Amazing egg cheese w sriracha on an ET bagel. Quick service and packed crowd even at 11 am on a Monday. Price at nearly 10$, feels a bit much though. Would be back to check out other stuff as well. The place has got nice coffee shop vibes on the inside. read more

I can't say anything about the actual store, since I was only able to doordash from them, but I ordered a couple times when I was in town and both times were consistent. I ordered a breakfast bagel sandwich and the prosciutto sandwich as well as plain bagels with cream cheese. The bagels were warm and fresh, and all the taste flavors meshed well together. read more

It's a very good place. Good bagel sandwiches, good coffee - but- bathroom could be much cleaner. read more

Second time I've been here - quality food and quality service every time! Parking was available both times I went, they had a lot of orders coming through so people must know how good they are! I had just a plain bagel the first time but black pepper and rosemary was so good! Picture came too late! read more

I stumbled upon this place due to me having to pick up someone's order. As you open the door the smell of fresh bagels smacks you in the face, I'm not sure how you could pass on ordering. No matter if you order in person or over the phone they are always fast and respectful. If you needed a place to study or surf the web they have a lot of open tables to do so, just bring your laptop! read more

My go to bagel place in Philly for years. Underrated spot, the bagels are always fresh and delicious. Recommend for your go to bagel place!

Incredible. Truly incredible. We order from here all the time and have never been disappointed. Fantastic bagels, amazing and shockingly speedy service, great coffee, and just an absolute staple in our home. Hungover? Bagel Place. Morning full of meetings? Bagel Place. Just because you're hungry? Bagel Place. The answer is always the same read more

Went there at 12pm today(they are open until 2pm) and was not allowed to buy 3 bagels. I Was told they only had 7 bagels left and they wanted to save them for possible future customers who wanted sandwiches. They would not sell me the bagels. I was also buying a sandwich but optednot to at that point. There was no one in line after me. Seems preposterous. They sell individual bagels but I guess not to me. read more

This is the best bagel spot in Philly! Many options to choose from. The bagel is perfect. Toasted or not. Soft bread. My favs: monte cristo, egg and cheese, and croque madame, and the lox special. Comes consistent every time and quick service. No disrespect to NY bagels but this spot is better. read more

Egg salad is an underrated bagel topping, and this one was really really good! Pickle cream cheese was more dill than pickle. Rosemary bagel was excellent. Appreciate the vegan option! read more

I took two friends from out of town for lunch last week. We sat in a middle table. The bagels were good but pricey. There were 4 young kids, probably about 5 or 6 years old, that ran up and down the length of the premises for an hour, screaming and yelling, at one stage one of them was cycling on a kids bike and almost crashed into our table. The staff couldn't cared less nor the ignorant smiling mothers. Thankfully my friends are easy going and we ignored the fact that it was like being in a kids playground. The other diners didn't looked exactly happy either. It's a pity as it's such a nice place, the coffee remains truly DREADFUL. My neighbor says it has a burnt taste. This place mostly serves as a take out/ pick up over priced bagel place. The owner's remarks that it's a family place are ludicrous and laughable. It's a very nice space which has become a seedy, dirty, FUCKING dump! AVOID!! read more

INCREDIBLE! Bacon egg and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel was sooooo good. The place was pretty crowded but we didn't have a long wait at all. read more

This sandwich is pretty good. It is very filling off of the first half, so it can be a shareable sandwich. They sell out of the type of bagel you may want pretty quickly. I'm a tourist so this was pretty good. read more

The Bagel Place - Caprese Sandwich - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Bagel Place is a great option for either breakfast or lunch. Both the space and the food are clean and bright. It's an easy space to be in, and have a conversation or do some writing. The lox special is a particular standout...none of the cheap ends of the fish...all quality stuff. It comes with all the proper accompaniments: capers, red onion, cream cheese...yep. The smoked turkey is also better than many of the greasy sandwich options for lunch, and the cubano is not as weird on a bagel as you may think. And you're only looking at the $10-15 range for a nice lunch and a coffee (la Colombe, of course). Don't hesitate to give it a shot. read more

I'm not exactly sure why I had such a hard and persistent bagel craving whilst I was in Philidelphia... but I can tell you that I didn't just happen upon this bagel place. I sought it out in a similar fashion to an addict seeking out his next fix. It's one of the highest rated bagel places in Philidelphia, and for good reason. The bagels are delicious, the service is fantastic, the place is clean as a whistle, and that matzo ball soup #PlacesOpenPalmOnChestAndLooksAway. Man that matzo ball soup. That matzo ball soup gives my matzo ball soup a run for it's money, and then snatches its wig! I kept sipping at it and trying to figure out what was in it... being like... my matzo soup will become better if I can figure out what herbs/spices I'm tasting. Dang Honeychild! I got a bagel with everything on the side. I'm very methodical about my bagel set up. Gotta get the cream cheese on the side if you're toasting your bagel. And you should ALWAYS toast your bagel; brings the bagel to life. If you have them put it on, the cream cheese starts melting and all because you need to wait for it to cool down from the toaster. Also, I like getting some whitefish salad, tomatoes, and if I'm feeling indulgent (swiss cheese) on the side. That's Mike's perfect bagel. Everything toasted bagel, scallion cream cheese on top, white fish salad, then tomato, then swiss cheese. I know what you're saying. That's a lot of cheese. Well of course it is... we're going for perfection - not just greatness. Everything here was super fresh. I would go back in a heartbeat when I find myself in Philadelphia again. Also a great place to work! They have wifi and a good deal of space. In a really cute neighborhood too! read more

If you are looking for a good bagel, please grab one from here. They have a great variety of bagels and spreads to choose from. I grabbed their blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a La Colombe iced coffee. The bagel was delicious and I loved the fresh Strawberries in the cream cheese. There's also plenty of out door and indoor seating if you're looking to dine-in. Will definitely come back for a cozy remote work day outside of my home. read more

A nice, neighborhood delight! I love myself some good bagels, and this place delivered and left me feeling very satisfied. We ordered: Everything bagel, Egg bagel, Veggie spread, and Garlic & Chive spread. We easily placed the order online, and picked it up at the side window, as indicated by large signs around the establishment. The whole process was simple and quick. The staff were friendly and seemingly followed all the necessary safety precautions. Afterwards, we made our way home to toast and enjoy the fresh, soft bagels-- we couldn't wait! From the taste and look, their spreads seem to be homemade and fresh, but most importantly-- DELICIOUS!!! The spreads outshined the bagels, just a tad. I like my bagels with a little more chewy, goodness. However, still well worth it, and had me licking the spread containers clean LOL Overall, The Bagel Place is a great, local joint with the goods to back it up Can't wait to go back! read more

Had great pick up and dine in breakfast sandwich experiences here! The sandwiches are so delicious and the egg to cheese to meat ratio is solid. They're so kind inside which I appreciate in addition to the spacious dining area. read more

Got two breakfast sandwiches with my partner, who sadly found a long hair in his. Won't be returning.

Did the walk up window and placed an order for 4 bagel sandwiches. I was surprised at how busy this spot was for a weekday. Lots of people picking up orders. Which I do recommend call ahead just because we did wait about 20 minutes for our order by just walking up. We got a pretzel bagel, pumpernickel, everything and plain. All the bagels were good. All but 1 with scrabbled eggs. The other was a fried egg that was over cooked. I think it was probably ok when it first came out but Bc they wrapped it all up to go it continued to cook and be over cooked. Overall we were all satisfied with the bagels. They were good and chewy. The pretzel bagel with bacon and cheese ate a bit salty but I think that was Bc of the salty nature of bacon and cheese and more of me ordering issue then a them issue. In our 3 days in town we ate here twice. Would recommend. read more

Delicious! I love bagels and can be picky when it comes to cream cheese! I love the cream cheese here! Will be back!

Hands down the best bagels in Philadelphia. I've tried bagels from many of the popular locations, but like these the best. They have the texture I expect. Korshak makes good bagels, and the people there are very nice, but I just think these are better. Talia's on Girard also makes good bagels, and I like the spreads there. Philly Style Bagels in Fishtown was my least favorite (see my negative review). I've also had bagels from NYC. The ones from Zabar's were a big disappointment. Russ and Daughters had great bagels, but you have to wait in an agonizingly long line to get them. The Bagel Place is your best bet in this area. read more

I ordered a bagel egg and cheese with bacon. My order came with rotten Avocado. There is no excuse for this whatsoever. I pulled it out but it's still so disgusting I didn't eat the sandwich. I also walked 6 or 7 blocks to get this disaster breakfast. read more

These are my favorite bagels in Philly, hands down. They are always so fresh and baked perfectly. The pretzel bagel is my favorite followed by the everything bagel. Their delivery is quick and perfect for when you can't make it to the shop. Their staff is nice too! read more

horrible experience, staff messed up my order and blamed it on me. did not want to give me a refund nor give me what I ordered. do not spend your money here! read more

So excited to have these guys on my block! Obviously already overdosed on bagels the first opening month. I love the sandwiches, which after talking to Ringo, is obvious hat these bagels are for eating bagel sammiches! Because that's his fave jawn. Already tried the whole sandwich board. All excellent but my fave as usual is the everything bagel lox special with scallion cream cheese. I'm pretty sure my husband sneaks in visits way more than I do. I love that they sell La Colombe too. Hopefully the beginners hiccups get worked out quickly. Glad to have them in the neighborhood! read more
