We went to the Bagel Basket for the first time since they just reopened after storm damage caused issues months ago. What an amazing job renovating the inside. It looks great. There is more counter space, bigger message boards, big paper menus to review. We got 2 sandwiches to go and 2 coffees. Very tasty and satisfying. They have expanded hours now also. Serving until 9pm! Breakfast, lunch and dinner. read more

Great food. From breakfast sandwiches to the lunch menu never had anything that wasn't awesome.

This was the closest place to eat near the Lehigh baseball field. Italian Sandwich on a Hoagie roll was outstanding and weighed about 3 lbs. No skimping on meat here. Highly recommend. (Added Italian Dressing) read more

They only had one cheddar cheese bagel left when I got there late on a Sunday morning. So I bought that and had it toasted. That bagel was so good I didn't feel deprived having to settle for the last bagel. It even had a little sweetness to it. It was my first time here so I didn't realize they make omelets. Look forward to coming back. read more

I ordered a wrap and 2 plain bagels. The wrap was delicious and enough to have for lunch and dinner. However, they should think of changing the name of the business! The bagels were not good. More like a roll that was shaped into a bagel. Very bready. read more

For what it is, this place is so good! I was not expecting this passing through PA. I got a bacon, egg, and hash brown on an everything bagel. Honestly, get a hash brown in your sandwich or you're missing out. This place had the best hash brown I've ever had in my sandwich. Even better than in NYC. The hash brown was perfectly crispy but not too oily. The eggs were clearly fresh and made right then. There was a ton of bacon and it wasn't all fat. My only thing I could complain about is that the everything seasoning wasn't on the top and bottom of the bagel. Other than that, it was perfect. It was decently busy when I walked in, which is a good sign. There was plenty of room to wait indoors and they had outdoor seating. Would come back here again next time I'm in the area! read more

Great selection of pretty much everything, better than average food quality. But, they often mess up "to go" orders...forget to toast the bagel, use the wrong bagel (plain instead of blueberry), and don't order a bagel with smoked salmon, you'll get one thin slice of salmon on the bagel sandwich. I've ordered them everywhere, have never gotten one with only one thin slice of salmon. read more

Found this place by accident. Glad I did. Making me a bigger Lehigh fan by the bight.

Let me start by saying we have no real bagels in my town...and I LOVE bagels. Love love bagels!! We drive to Hellertown often on a Sunday for the Saucon Valley Farmer's market. I remember hearing about this place for awhile, but just has not made it here. Well... this past Sunday, we finally went! Just walking in the door, it smelled glorious!! We ordered 2 bagel breakfast sandwiches, and they were wonderful! Bagel, with pork roll egg and cheese. Delish! Chocolate milk too :) It was almost $19, which was a little on the higher side for what it was, IMO, but I will be back. Also, this place is a deli and carries the best brand, Boar's head products :) yummy!! read more

Went to Bagel Basket this morning for breakfast to change things up a bit from my normal work from home routine. I was really craving a bagel and it has been difficult for me to find one that compares to bagels from NY / NJ but Bagel Basket exceeded my expectations! The bagel tasted fresh and delicious. Their website claims to make all of their bagels fresh everyday and that is definitely true for Bagel Basket! The bagel was doughy, fresh and extremely tasty. I ordered a plain bagel with cream cheese and I ordered a plain bagel with egg, ham and cheese. The egg sandwich was fantastic. Very tasty and made to order! Delicious! The bagel with cream cheese was also very good. Bagel and a bit too much cream cheese on it but other than that was fantastic! I don't have any pictures of them because they were too good I ate a half of each with my roommate in one sitting! Delicious! I would highly recommend going to eat at Bagel Basket to get away from the craziness of being indoors. Somehow eating a egg sandwich in my car overlooking the Bethlehem River made it just that much more enjoyable. Bagel Basket has terrific fresh & tasty doughy bagels! Don't miss out on this fabulous bagel joint! read more

Great bagels and amazing breakfast sandwiches! The staff is friendly and establishment is clean.

The kitchen is really good considering the volume of orders they get. The cashiers and manager are where things fall apart. Doesn't matter if it's online or in person but they will screw up your order or serve you a cold breakfast. read more

This is a side of pasta salad? I would have loved to enjoy more than two bites. This should be a free sample, not something you charge money for. read more

I love this place. Would highly recommend for breakfast or lunch. Great variety and selections of deli meat & cheese. I always order a combo special (sandwich, choice of two sides, selection of bread, and a deli pickle). The portions are also very generous. I easily get two lunches from one order. They have some of the BEST creamy and sweet macaroni salad and coleslaw I've ever tasted. They also make great homemade pastries. Always speedy service and the (primarily) Lehigh student staff is always polite and courteous. Definitely a local favorite of mine. read more

I used to really like their food but I don't think I'll be back. one big concern is their bathroom can lock you inside. which they have a sign indicating. super dangerous for kids!!! also big puddle on the floor on the way to the bathroom. basically I wouldn't bring kids and let them go to the bathroom. their hot beverages are not always set up so I wouldn't bank on that. overall not my top pick. read more

Ordered a grilled cheese and bacon, got a grilled cheese. Not sure how you screw up a sandwich that only has two ingredients.

I've been coming here before work for a few years, the owner is such a nice gentleman!! Great way to start the day with one of their bagels!

Fantastic bagels, super family-friendly, and service with a smile. A breakfast favorite! Their bacon egg and chesse on an everything bagel is 10/10! Fluffy and perfect! read more

Had to create an account to leave a review of how pitiful this place was in all respects. Images online seemed like a promising bagel spot and bakery in general. But it was far from it. As soon as I start to dictate my order, the cashier takes an order in front of me on the phone of someone else although I arrived first. I asked her for a bag/napkins since it's to-go, aggressively grabs napkins and slightly throws the bag at me. No exchange of "thank you for coming in" Bagels were so bad; mushy, bland, no aeration. Nothing stayed together, onions were huge, asked for toasted didn't get that. On top of that it was $18 for two measly pathetic "bagels" Disgusting service. read more

Super tasty bagel sandwiches -- love the hash browns in the sandwich! Everyone was super friendly and it's a classic local place to go. For sure best bagels in the area. read more

A Lehigh University hangover spot. The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. My favorite is the jalapeño cheddar bagel. They usually run out though, so you have to go on the earlier side. read more

Such great service wow!! I really enjoyed my time here and they were very accommodating THEY WERE SO NICE WHEN I WANTED TO CHANGE MY ORDER!!!! Thank you guys! read more

Excellent service and great food! Staff is very friendly and has great variety of cream cheese.

Been giving this chance for a year now. I was really excited to have a bagel store close to home. Unfortunately, the service and the quality of food has gone down considerably. Although the bagels are "cooked" daily, they still come out gummy and mushy. I even asked them to double-toast the bagel, but alas, it was still gummy and tasted stale. I've wanted so badly to like this place: it's super convenient. Most, but not all the workers are friendly. Some act like I'm a complete burden. In addition, I have yet to have an order come out correctly. Overall, extremely disappointed with this place. I'll only return to get a pre-packaged drink from the fridge. Otherwise, save your time and money. read more

Bagel Basket is my go-to bagel place and they have exceeded expectations during the quarantine! I love how quick they were to move to pick-up orders as well as getting on a variety of delivery platforms. Rating them 4 stars because it is pricey!! A bacon, egg, and cheese on a plain bagel costs over $5! So keep that in mind when you're stopping by. read more

Bagels and sandwiches are subpar, there are better places to spend your money. Workers were rude. Not one employee wore a mask, nor did I see anyone wash their hands in the 15 minutes I spent there waiting for two bagels. This store has much room for improvement, but until then, do not waste your money here. read more

Food is good but I used the bathroom for the first time and WTF is this?! This soap dispenser is literally a science experiment. A perfectly good one is installed right next to it. Get rid of this disgusting thing! read more

People working that keep pulling their mask down . Defeating the purpose of wearing one. Service isn't very friendly and menu isn't supremely understandable for first timers. Food is great though. read more

Number one rule in the restaurant business is to have a good customer service no matter how good is your food if you don't have customer service that place will suck. However at bagel basket is one of the best customer service I've ever had the food is absolutely amazing they have healthy options such as turkey, egg white,lox, wheat bagels. everything is fresh made to order. It's my breakfast every Monday and Friday when I'm in the area. Affordable price as well. keep up the good work you guys rock. read more

I just had the Virginia ham and Swiss cheese beagle with lettuce, union, and tomato and it was delicious. But the beagle is what put this sandwich over the top. It was a jalapeño cheddar cheese beagle toasted. Omg was it good. A little pricey at $17 for two of them and two drinks but well worth the money. read more

I got an everything bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese. Make sure you ask for the egg to be scrambled if that's what you typically like as that's not the norm. I prefer more seasoning on the bagel itself. Filling was average. Really good bacon though. Large iced coffee is huge and tastes great read more

Usually like it here but was pretty upset after waiting for 30 min and realizing once I got home that my egg and cheese with turkey bacon was actually a bacon, egg and cheese with turkey lunch meat. I was able to take the turkey off but since I don't eat bacon it was pretty annoying. Have never had this happen to me before despite eating a breakfast sandwich nearly every day. read more

This place has amazing bagels and even better breakfast sandwiches. I hope to be going for lunch soon

I thought this place closed at 3, why are the grills off and I am being refused food at 2:40? The food is good though, just bad service.

There bagles are excellent and are made fresh on premise. They have great egg sandwiches And there service is excellent. They also help feed the poor !! read more

Nice little bagel shop, I popped into from the interstate. They had nice live music playing outside the door when I visited. The staff were friendly enough and my lox bagel was good. The only complaint was maybe the salmon good of been better quality and the bagel wasn't as big as other places I've been read more

I am a Jersey girl and am picky about my bagels, and this is the best bagel shop in the Lehigh Valley in my opinion!

Bagels and self make coffee. Pretty standard little spot but workers a bit rude rather go to a dunkin.

The breakfast sandwiches are amazing. I especially love the bacon egg and cheese. Staff is great as well.

Food is great, no complaints about that, but do not order from them via door dash. Cancelled our order twice, no explanation, when we called they said they were too busy. Again, great food and service when you come to the restaurant, but they should really stop accepting door dash orders if they can't fulfill them, our poor driver call to say she arrived for pickup and was only then told about the cancellation. read more
