This is a cute shop with amazing bagels. I really enjoyed both the bagel sandwiches and the cream cheese spread. The Asiago everything bagel is a dream come true. Best of everything all together. The coffee and chai were also delicious. It's a small shop and most people get things to go but they do have plenty of seating. read more

One day I went in for a bagel and it was a mess! Their system was down for card payments and instead of being nice about it, the employees were super rude when we said we would be paying with card when they asked. Dirty and dingy too. read more

My favorite bagel sandwich in psu with a friendly staff who take time to recognize regulars, which I always appreciate.

+ Food. We got bagels with bacon and eggs. It was tasty, and I would go back if someone suggested we go. I drive past it constantly and only sometimes think "huh I should go back there" ~ Service. Took a long time of us sitting around a lobby. It was just an iPad order thing, so perhaps you can order ahead. ~ ambiance interesting building shape, kind of junky out back, otherwise it didn't seem like a lot of space to sit and eat. No bike parking nearby, which seems like an oversight for a place on a trail and near a high school. read more

Last week I went here and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the blt and it was good. It came with a bag of chips but I wish it could have came with other sides that you could pick from. Food was quick to come out. It would be a good place to go if you need a quick meal, but I would not go out of my way to go back. read more

Nice coffee and bagel shop in an almost abandoned strip mall. To drink, I had the Toasted Marshmallow Latte, which was awesome. To eat, I had the Ready Lamar on an everything bagel, which has cheese, double sausage and double egg. Great combo and I left full and happy. Went back three times in a week. read more

Toasted Bagel Cafe - Ready Lamar was delicious - Bagels Near Me - State College, Pennsylvania

Hands down best breakfast spot in State College! I always get the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel with chipotle sauce, and it is always amazing! The service was fast, and the workers are always friendly and helpful. The seating area is super welcoming with many areas and a cute little area with a grass sign! Definitely recommend! read more

In town for a PSU campus visit and this was close to our hotel. Stopped in on a slow Sunday morning. It's a small, intimate place. Service - 2 stars. No one said hello. We walked up to the counter, and asked what the bagel flavors were today. The not-so-helpful young lady pointed to the bin of bagels in the kitchen and said "they are over there". They were indeed "over there" but didn't have signage to indicate flavors. What she could have done was point to the menu and show us where they were listed. That would have been a better choice (we just didn't see them the first time we looked). We made our choices and cashed out with not even a "thank you". That drives me crazy when places do that! At least thank me for giving you my time and money. Where service gets two stars is how quickly they prepared the food. Food - 4 stars. Bagels were fresh. If I'm ever back in town, I won't go back. read more

Nope. I'll never go back. Staff is rude. Girl is rude. No bagel is worth poor service. No, I take it back. This bagel leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It puts me in a bad mood. So, if that's your bag. Go for it. Not me. read more

My boyfriend & I called and ordered omelets, potatoes and toasted bagels to go. It was ready quickly and everything went smoothly during pickup. We were both pleasantly surprised by how fresh and delicious everything was. I would recommend this place for sure! read more

Bagel crust is a solid option for a bagel in State College. This location would be on my way to class in the mornings and would be a stop every once and a while. Either the good boy sandwich or the lox and cream cheese with capers and onions (no tomatoes) would usually be my order. Sandwiches are decent. I think $5.50 for a bagel and plain cream cheese is a bit steep. The thing I really hate about this place is waiting to get your order. Even if you call ahead, you have to wait in the line to order to pick up your food. They need a spot for pickup orders that's out of the main line. It basically defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. read more

Awesome and tasty. I will be back. The service was quick and friendly. I highly recommend TBC! read more

After the experience, I had there today, I'll never go back. I do want to say that their food is really good, even though the prices might be a little high. So here's what happened to me: I ordered online 30 minutes before I arrived. It had said that it would take 15 minutes on the GrubHub app as I ordered takeout through GrubHub. I ordered early because I had to be back to work by a certain time. I went in and there was a crazy line and all of the customers looked upset. There were people on the line who were talking about how hungry they were and how long they've been waiting in the line. There was a girl who only got half of her order and no one knew what the other half of her order even was. There was a girl who ordered a vanilla latte and got a matcha. I went over to the GrubHub pick up spot and noticed my food wasn't there. I waited for about seven minutes, no one talked to me, looked at me or made eye contact. I had to interrupt a very busy gentleman to ask him if he thought my food would be up soon. He told me that their computer was unplugged when I placed my order and they never received the ticket. And I said well the money came out of my bank account. He was very polite and accommodating and found a manager for me without me having to ask. It was $30 two bagel sandwiches and I left a tip. I asked to cancel the order and refund my card. I went back out to the car and realized that that was all the money that I had and I was still hungry and had to eat at some point today. So I went back in and asked how long it would take for the refund, they said one to two business days. I explained that that was all of the money that I had and that I would take a cash refund Instead. They said that's not how it works and that it wasn't their fault that I ordered on GrubHub and not directly through them. Those were the words of the manager, who was clearly not empathizing with the fact that if he didn't fix the problem, I was going to go hungry today since I couldn't wait for them to make it without being late to work. So I walked away, I went out to my car and I started hysterically crying. Seconds after I sat down, one of the workers was tapping on my window. I purposely ignored him, but he kept tapping. I rolled my window down and he let me know that my card would be refunded today. I said okay, whatever, I don't wanna talk to you. Please leave me alone. I understand he was trying to do a good thing and I should have thanked him as he was very kind, but I was having a very personal moment in my car and the last thing I wanted was a handsome man watching me cry. The money did go back into my account instantly . So I thank them for that. I work a food service job myself, so I understand how to deal with these situations when they happen. I've paid out of my own pocket before to fix mistakes that were my fault because I understand what it's like to be hungry and poor. The way of the situation was dealt with, even though I got my money back, it made me feel so bad about needing the refund and I felt shamed by the manager. Probably not intentional, but sir if you're reading this, please walk in my shoes for a minute to think of how it felt to be on the other end of the situation. I was very respectful but I didn't feel that back from the manager. The employees seemed cool though. Leaving this review is sad since I've been a customer since early high school, about ten years. Plenty of other bagel shops in state college now though read more

Amazing bagels and generous cream cheese. Nice and crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Great service! A little "hard working New York grumpy". Love it! By the way it is now called the Toasted Bagel Cafe read more

Very nice employees it's very clean and organized! Omg the food is so good!!!!!! 10/10 reccomend!!!

Small businesses get stars. That said, chocolate bagels used to be so good before it changed the restaurant name to Toasted. Their potato used to be great, now you have to smother them in ketchup for flavor. Very disappointed. read more

This is the only coffee place within walking distance of our daughter's apartment. It located in an old bank building set in the middle of a parking lot. Not much was done to the building except for adding counter space, tables and chairs, and kitchen equipment. You order in the old lobby and that is where the dining area is located. There are also tables, chairs, and umbrellas outside. The issue with the outside area is it is located in the parking lot surrounded by dumpsters, trash barrels and other stuff. I had a cappuccino and it was good. On my last visit a year ago it was not good. It looks like they either got a new machine or they took some training. I heard that the bagels are good but I don't eat those. There was a steady stream of customers on this Saturday morning. There are better coffee places in State College but the ability to walk here in five minutes keeps bringing me back. read more

Pretty good, but not the best bagel sandwich I've ever had. Everything as just okay. I had the "hangover sandwich" with 2 eggs, bacon, sausage, cheese and your choice of bagel. I think they could've amped it up the the next level with like a chipotle mayo or something like that. Bagel was fresh, but that's about the highlight. read more

Bagels are okay. Got 2 sandwiches that were nothing special but passable for SC. Service person stressed by line. Poor thing. Doesn't give her the right to be so rude. read more

I love their rainbow bagels! I got their egg bacon & cheese sandwich and it's so yummy. Service is amazing. My friends and I order it online & pick it up and it's never a long wait. Definitely worth the purchase! (It's super good reheated in the air fryer as well) read more

Early Saturday afternoon, so it's fairly busy Four in our party, ordered four bagels, one each. Get to the prep stage and they are out of every kind of bagel we ordered. We sub our second choices. We get three bagels for our order. I ask about the fourth and was told the ticket only has three and if there's a order problem, I have to talk to the cashier. At this point, The line is almost out the door. I'm not waiting in the line again to figure it out. My advice to you is.... get a receipt. Didn't think I'd have to present evidence for a simple order. They essentially lost a customer for the price of a single sliced and toasted rainbow bagel. read more

Bagel Crust is a great breakfast sandwich. We love their Asiago Everything bagel when they have it

This is a great place to go and get bagel sandwiches. I always wish that I had gotten a second one..maybe next time!

The place is a dive and they have little more than bagels, bagel sandwiches, and add sodas. Bagels are not bad. About 1 out of 5 times the tuna has a wierd taste and I throw it out. read more

Listen to me... if you want to have an absolutely life changing breakfast sandwich - you need to go to Bagel Crust. Unlike Mcdonalds, Dunkin Donuts, or whatever other subpar breakfast places students go to, Bagel Crust actually tastes ... good. Like not just drunk-student good, but I-would-actually-take-my-parents-here good. Not to mention the fact that they have freakin TAYLOR HAM (pork roll) !!!!! Anyways, it's a super cute café style one - it's in an old bank building so that's a bit strange but cute nonetheless. I like this location because it's close to where I live (the retreat) and it doesn't get as crowded as the one downtown. Do yourself a favor - Rise above crappy breakfast. read more

My friend and I went during normal business hours and thought we could get food. We tried to open the door and it was locked. Apparently there was a sign saying they were sold out and it was hard to see because of the tinted windows. We were approached by one of the employees who was EXTREMELY dismissive and rude when she said "Yeah, we're closed that's what sold out means, read the sign." Keep in mind, the sign that you can barely read in the first place. We've never gone when they have sold out and we were about to leave when we were met with this terrible service. My advice, next time you have people who are unsure if you are still open, don't meet them with hostility. Just keep the door locked so people don't have to deal with your attitude. We left very upset. read more

ORDER THE HOT CHOCOLATE. One of the best experiences ever. Asked the Barista if they had hot chocolate and she said no but she said she's got a secret hot chocolate thats not on the menu that she'd make and oh my lord it was the best thing ever. Amazing service. Amazing Bagels. Get the hot chocolate. read more

Not happy with this place currently. I live nearby and make a trip there about 3-4 times a week. I kid you not since my first trip there my order has been incorrectly made or missing something every other time. They have a sandwich called the Christin Rox and it is the only breakfast sandwich with avacado. There have been two occurrences when I've bought that sandwich that I get home and realize I just paid almost $7 for a bacon egg and cheese bagel because the receipt said avacado. I'm still a regular customer, just hoping they improve in service. read more

I would die for this place. I highly recommend the everything bagel with bacon egg and cheese and add avaocado! Best bagels in state college hands down, fast service and delicious food every single time!! Again, I would probably die for bagel crust read more

service is amazing ! yet alone the bagels are always delicious. i definitely recommend the hangover or the nesh :)

I just ordered off grubhub to get food from this bagel place. My order was utterly a disappointment. I order a everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, and a everything bagel with egg and cheese and whole bunch of toppings. One, there was no egg on the sandwich. Two, I'm a vegetarian and for some reason they put bacon on my sandwich when it was just an egg and cheese sandwich. The bagel with scallion cream cheese came with regular cream cheese. I don't know who's problem this was but it was so disappointing. read more

The food is always good. The caramel Frappuccino is HORRIBLE! I threw it out the second I got it. ALSO this past trip the new cashier, a young guy with short black hair told me to wait to take my order so he could stand in front of me and watch the World Cup.... WHAT KIND OF CUSTOMER SERVICE? read more

Nice try. Okay if you've never had better, so-so if you have. Crust is a big step up from the bagel-like packaged stuff from the supermarket. A good bagel is moist and chewy inside, crisp on the outside. Bagel crust holds up well on the former but falls short on the latter. To its credit, Bagel Crust doesn't get artsy or fancy. They have most of the common varieties, and nothing too gourmet or elaborate. The little dedicated parking lot is hard to maneuver but if you don't mind walking a few extra steps there's plenty of space in the Westerly lot. The building has all the warmth and charm of the bank it once was. Prices are good, counter woman on our visit was friendly. read more

The bagels are great (I've lived in NYC and they are legit). The service is fast. The younger ppl serving are positive and attentive. This place has done the right stuff since it's opened. I consider a BEC to be the test of a bagel shop and this place kills it. No holding back on the bacon and it's on a killer poppy bagel. I'd give it 5 stars for the 100th time but it opens at 8am! I think opening at 7 would be wayyyy better, there's a line outside by 8! read more
