A generous portion of Nova Lox, fried egg (runny yolk by request) cucumber tomato red onion avocado & garlic and chive cream cheese . All on a wonderfully toasted everything bagel -- This incredible creation embodies the essence of brunch. The lox were succulent and just the right flavor of smoke, a true testament to the power of quality ingredients.

Back Home Bagels - Just Keep Swimming Nova Lox - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Schnecksville, Pennsylvania

If you're looking for real bagels with that perfect combo of crisp on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Back Home Bagels is the spot. Hands down the best bagels in the Lehigh Valley. Every bite tastes fresh and made with love. I've tried several of their sandwiches and they never disappoint. The flavors are bold, the ingredients are top quality (hello Boar's Head meats), and the portion sizes are generous. Don't skip the specialty cream cheeses especially the sweet ones like S'mores or the savory garlic & herb. The vibe here is cozy and friendly, and the staff treats you like a regular even on your first visit. It does get busy (because it's that good), so I recommend ordering ahead if you're in a rush. But even if there's a line, it's totally worth the wait. Back Home Bagels delivers every time. This place is officially part of my weekend routine. read more

Stopped by to grab bagel sandwiches before visiting Trexler Nature Preserve. While the bagels are average, the sandwiches taste homemade and fresh. I especially loved the caramelized onions. Online ordering was not working, but there was a very short line and only 10-minute wait for our food at 9:30 on a Saturday morning. Overall, a great spot for breakfast! read more

Grew up in the area and still drive 20+ minutes on some weekends because the bagels are good but the last two times I went (both Saturdays) they were closed, with no notice online either time. Super frustrating to drive all that way just to find the place closed. If you're going to be closed, at least update your hours. read more

Newly retired, we venture out once a week, whether we need it or NOT, to explore new places and things. On a recent stop to The Buttered Crumb Bakery, 8 miles north of this place, they mentioned this business as source of their bagels. So, today, we visited the bagel place to have a breakfast sandwich, buy a bakers dozen of bagels and their flavored cream cheese. The order taker and cashier, Johanna, played her position well: she's fast, multitasking and funny! (And even shimmied for the long line of patient customers!)(You had to be there in the midst of it!) Girl, you're a ROCKSTAR! Anyhow, one Carnivore Kid sandwich that included pork roll, sausage Patty, a fried egg and toppings specific to that sandwich on an everything bagel. Real treat and truly satisfying at $8. I enjoyed my pork roll, fried egg and pepper Jack on the jalapeño and cheddar sandwich for $6. Made to order on a toasted bagel. Yummy! One cheese danish, assorted bagels to go and lucky to snag the last bag of S'mores bagel of the week with a container of the Toasted Marshmallow cream cheese. The place is tucked between a beer distributor and another business on Route 309 in Schnecksville, PA. Highly recommend this business: it's fast paced, everyone hustling to serve the customers with awesomeness! read more

Their bagels are delicious. HOWEVER, I always have always chosen to have my bagels toasted DARK. There is absolutely no difference in how the bagel is toasted. It's basically dough colored, not crispy, no color, and not what I want. We no longer will be ordering anything prepared there and will instead get an order of bagels to bring home so we can toast them properly not exactly sure why this is such a difficult concept. Very very disappointing. read more

Stopped here on our way up to Cooperstown, New York based on previous Yelp reviews. (We got lucky because this was their last day open before a one-week vacation.) Ordered the "Just Keep Swimming" and "The Postman." Very yummy! Order and pay at counter for either takeout or to be served. Very informal, about six booths which turned over quickly so easy to get a seat. Women's room could have been a bit cleaner but the place was very busy so they get a pass on that since everything else was very clean. Definitely worth going out of our way about five miles to get a delicious breakfast and good coffee. read more

My father, son, and I came here on a Saturday for lunch. Place was fairly busy, but we did not wait long. All three of us enjoyed our bagel sandwiches. Staff were helpful and friendly. read more

Fast paced bagel shop with back home country feel. They have several bagels and sandwiches to choose from, baked goods and self serve coffee. We tried Zeppy Bagel sandwich on toasted jalapeno cheddar bagel with chocolate chip cookie, and friend enjoyed Monte Cristo bagel sandwich. read more

My coworkers and I love to get breakfast sandwiches from here. The Howler is my favorite to get on an everything bagel.

Love this place. I try to come here every time I'm working in the area! Friendly people and always delicious. read more

Best bagels in the area and variety of sandwiches. I love the jalapeno cheddar bagel. Weekend mornings gets crazy crowded in here just a heads up! read more

The bagels are amazing. Their menu of sandwiches is filled with many delicious options and special orders don't upset them. It gets crowded and does sell out. read more

Best bagel you will ever have hands down. It's like having a New York bagel snack dab in the middle of PA. Carnivore kid is to die for.

Best bagels I've ever had. Soft texture inside and slightly chewy on the outside. Has a sourdough taste and they make great bagel sandwiches. Drip coffee is pretty good too!! read more

Just picked up two party trays for my coworkers AMAZING they were beautiful and delicious. Cannot believe how much food we got and how fresh it was. Staff is excellent!! read more

First time there and I was pleasantly surprised! We found nothing negative to say. I had one of their wide selection of sandwiches offered but I also had the option to create or customize my own. I'm still describing to my husband how good it was. Every person was pleasant and friendly! I will return! Thank you! read more

This place is bomb.com. The specialty breakfast sandwiches are amazing, I think I've had every one of them. The Howler and the Hair of the Dog are the best. The employees are super efficient and very nice. It's a well oiled machine in there. On weekends, it can get packed in there so we always call ahead. It's popular because they're doing it right! read more

Tastiest bagels around this part of PA Worth the travel into the boonies. Worth a try. If busy then May have to wait a bit but give it a shot. read more

Best bagels in town. Fresh and lots of variety. People that work there hustle and are great with customer service.

Coming from New York, I was practically raised with a bagel in my mouth at all times. Back Home Bagels really reminds me of my childhood and the best of a New York bagel but in Orefield! The lines get long but it moves very very fast! Surprisingly, to people like myself that can't bake, a good bagel is very hard to make and they have perfected it. Everyone that visits my house from NY and NJ loves their bagels and says it ranks in the top tier of what they were used to. I need to get a Body by Bagel shirt next time I stop in read more

Wonderful Bagels! I try and go here almost every weekend! Highly recommend for breakfast!

Bagels them self are OK. But what makes this place amazing is the atmosphere, their pastries and the creativeness is some of their sandwiches! Also, they have boarshead cold cuts! read more

It's been a while since I've written a review but here I go again. I love this place. It's become a regular spot in my weekly routine. The bagels are delicious. The people who own the place and their workers are friendly and hard working. There's free WiFi and just enough tables for me to always find one open and do a bit of studying. I can only really find 2 flaws with this place. One is that they don't make lattes or any type of coffee other then in a pot or the powdered stuff you get from a machine. The other thing is it sometimes takes up to 20 min to get your order. So it's best to order ahead if you are in a rush. If by chance you are in the area you should stop in for some lunch or breakfast because they serve both. read more

Meh you'll wait 4 hours for a bagel sandwich that is overpriced and skimpy on the meats

The BEST bagel shop in the Lehigh Valley. I cannot rave enough about this place, so on point every single time. I do not think there is a bad option on this menu. My go-to is the "Cocky Balboa", and I'm almost tempted to order two every time because of how delicious it is! read more

Best damn bagel I've ever had!!! I got the everything bagel with cream cheese. Will definitely be returning.

Excellent Bagels and breakfast selections. Highly recommended. I haven't really tried their lunch items very nice selection of bagels as a former New Yorker. Who's had probably the best bagels in New York. I highly rate this place. read more

Are you kidding me. Grabbing my bagels with the same gross gloves you just used to do the change for a customer in cash is disgusting. Fool me once, but do it twice, and see me go. This is the second time. I don't go often and hyper aware of it, but this was the topper as the employee actually says we always do it that way! If you like that fresh food product mixed with the residue of someone's cash or change, jump in. Great place to try the combo! read more

Best bagels and sandwiches around. Family run, clean and super friendly!! The sandwiches will fill you for the day! read more

Really good, first time here, will def come back for sure. Even though it's further from where I live, it's better than Dunkin that is close by..the iced coffee here is real good as well. Friendly staff and clean. read more

Back Home Bagels - So good. A toasted bagel with egg and a delicious salted caramel iced coffee, so much better than Dunkin!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Schnecksville, Pennsylvania

Let me proceed by saying this is the second time I've been to this location. I was very impressed with the friendliness and atmosphere the first time. So I returned. Today I'm in complete disgust. As I sat there waiting for my bagels I watched MULTIPLE employees eating and drinking behind the counter and not washing their hands! Disgusting. Yes many were wearing blue gloves but not everyone. I tried to ignore it but I looked around and the floor was covered in crumbs and the tables not wiped down. I would've felt a little better about the employees grazing on food if the store was in a clean condition. I don't think I'll be taking the time to return anytime soon. read more

What a great bagel and amazing signature sandwiches!! Happen to be passing by and and gave this place a shot. I got the special Jo Fadda sandwich (a little different from the Jo mama) and wow! The sandwich melts in your mouth and the flavors all come together nice. The bagel was super fresh. If I am ever passing through the area again I will definitely stop in again. Also the staff are friendly so shout out to them as well!! read more

BEST New York style bagels in the area (exterior toasts up crisp while the interior stays soft n chewy)! The sesame bagels are my fave - jam packed with seeds so they have a super nutty flavor. My other go-to's are also savory flavors ... jalapeño cheddar, garden veg, egg n pumpernickel. Breakfast sandwiches are delish and satisfying. Nice atmosphere for dining in and friendly and efficient staff make BHB a place you've GOT to visit. read more

Having tried bagels all over the country this literally may be the best bagel I've ever had in this style. They are literally so perfectly chewy like dumplings and they're always super nice in there. Obsessed with this place. read more

Back Home Bagels is Always delicious. My only complaint is that my order is incorrect sometimes. Whether it's the wrong type of cream cheese, not toasted instead of extra toasted, or no tomatoes... read more
