Great bagel sandwiches! Also very good fresh coffee options and flavors. Highly recommend!

Good deli - Loved their chicken salad sandwich and will likely return to try more from them! I would suggest ordering ahead and just picking up your food. Wait was a little long around 1pm but its fresh-made food so I didn't really mind it too much! read more

This store employs the entitled millenial children of the upper middle class. They care little about the customer and their orders, because their pay is just going to buy more ironic T-shirts. The floor layout is badly organized. People stand around unsure if they are in line or not, and the employees call people out of order. When you are truly in a rush and need to get food and get out - and called in your order ahead of time - it is incredibly frustrating to wait for some spoiled kid to hold up the line trying to decide if they want an onion bagel or plain. The store does make the effort of having their staff walk out from behind the counter and give you your order. This is an effort, but it is a mistake. It slows down service and it fixes a nonproblem. Getting your order is not an issue - the problem is that ordering is slow, and the line is ambiguous, and people are in a rush. A rope barrier that simply says "order from here" is all you need to simplify things and ensure that everyone gets their order in. And for heaven's sake if the girl at the register doesnt know how to use the register, replace her when there is a crowd. No one has time for children to giggle at the register, even when the resulting mistakes result in a surprise discount. Those employees don't care about your order. Bagel egg and cheese? Here's a kaiser roll with butter. 6 dollar Lox and cream cheese? one slice of fish. It's hilarious to think that these spoiled yuppie larvae probably plan to go to college in NYC and live in a 2000 sqft prewar townhouse with a doorman and "charm", but they dont even know what a New York staple looks like. FYI: a lox bagel should have a quarter pound of smoked salmon, it should have cream cheese, onions, and capers, and it should cost 10 dollars. And be worth eating. Contrary to other reviews, the toroidal bread that this company sells is not the "closest thing ... to NY style bagels". They are the closest thing to frozen bagels. If you want something closer, go to ANY grocery store in the area and get the loose bagels from the bakery. Those are real bagels. You need to get them early in the morning, or they will be rock hard, because the grocery store makes real bagels early in the morning. Unfortunately, they dont make them throughout the day. But that's the real deal. Their hoagies are overpriced and poor, also. You can buy a better hoagie, with better toppings and a greater selection at Goosey Gander for 3 dollars less. read more

This establishment has frustrated me to the point where I finally had to find a forum to voice it (besides directly at the management). I have three words to describe their service: unorganized, untimely, and unfriendly. They have given me the wrong order three times in a row. I don't t believe it to be that hard to make a bagel with cream cheese. Their customer service is appalling. On several occassions I have been met with grunts at the register. Today, I stared in shock as a woman leaned over the counter and whistled at the customer while waving a sandwich at him. The last straw came when my sister waited over 15 minutes to be handed the wrong sanwich. There are 6 people working behind the counter so they are in no way understaffed. Of course, it took them less than 3 minutes to fix the order. It truly is a shame since their only saving grace is the food. I have tried to remain loyal yet constantly being met with poor service has left a bad taste in my mouth. My advice? Enter at your own risk. read more

Counter service with a few tables. Really solid bagel & sandwich place. Biggest complaint is it can be hard to park, gets crowded at peak times, and they sometimes run out of your favorites. These are issues because they are popular. Eggs on the breakfast sandwiches tend to be cooked soft, so order it cooks hard if you don't like runny eggs. Herb cream cheese is really tasty, and I don't normally like cream cheese. On weekends there are some Indian options, that's good stuff too. read more

Amazing bagels for breakfast and amazing hoagies for lunch! Nice staff and good prices as well. I had a my diya hoagie (chicken cutlet hoagie with fresh mozzarella, roast red peppers, and balsamic drizzle) and it was incredible. Highly recommend read more

Went to the shop for the first time today. Went out of my way thinking I really wanted a good bagel. Asked for a toasted bagel with cream cheese. Tons of employees standing around no waiting. Ordered a coffee which apparently was self serve. Walked in and was sort of trying to figure it out and said something like oh OK I have to do this myself and the owner completely ignored me. Didn't feel friendly at all. Grabbed my bagel when it was done and got in the car and it wasn't toasted. I mean I'm glad it was warm and fresh but how hard is it to toast and I waited and there wasn't a line. I don't know the vibe was not very friendly ends I wouldn't go out of my way to go there again. I checked the slip on the bagel and it was clearly marked toasted. read more

Pork roll on a bagel was amazingly good. Really enjoyed the bagel basket. Perfect location close to the Lehigh LAX fields.

Very not impressed. 10:30 on a Sunday and they were out of 2/3 of their bagel choices. I had to settle with a plain because there were no sweet flavors left. This was not a bagel, it was not boiled which is absolutely necessary. It was as if wonder bread made a "bagel". Zero flavor, zero texture. read more

Great food. Love the bfast sandwiches and lunches. Very busy place but seems to get orders out fairly quickly. I showed up early in the morning one day 10 minutes before they opened and the owner let me in and offered me coffee while they were setting up. Great customers service. read more

I've gone to bagel basket for years but might reconsider in these times of pandemic. I was there today and the cashier and the person running the meat slicer were both wearing masks just covering their mouths. I am a health care worker and wear n95 masks all day long and realize mask wearing is a pain but there seems to be a disregard here. read more

I tried this place a long time ago and wasn't impressed. But, feeling a bit generous and craving a bagel, I gave it another try this morning. It's a cute looking place, rather poorly lit, lots of handcrafted signage, anemic looking loaves of bread sitting around. So, I'd give it 2 stars for ambience. As for customer service, I'd give it two stars. While the young woman who waited on me was slow but pleasant there was another who was shockingly surly. She downright slid the other customer's sandwich across the counter with a rather ho-hum "here you go" after he'd been waiting for quite a while. The everything bagel was way too salty for my personal preference, although the cream cheese and toasting were lovely. I kind of freaked when the clerk took my money then began to pick out the bagel without washing her hands. She did use a piece of wax paper and did, eventually put on gloves, seemingly using sanitary technique (yes, I'm a bit of a germ-a-phobe). Would I go back? Not likely. In a pinch, I might. read more

I had one of the best roast beef sandwiches i've ever had here. The Boar's Head meat was piled high on my jalapeno cheddar bagel with some vegetables and a delicious sandwich dressing. The dining area is small but charming. I wish they had fountain drinks but at least they had ice to go with the bottled drinks. read more

The owner was preparing food without gloves and his mask around his chin, not covering his mouth or nose. He was shouting out orders the entire time. read more

This is a among my favorite breakfast stops. Their bagels are very very good and the sandwiches are always hot and delicious. They have a great variety of sandwiches, pastries, coffee and bagels. My only complaint would be that it is kind of slow, so definitely not a place I would go to in a hurry. However they have always been friendly so I have no issue going back. read more

Bagel Basket - Bagels Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

The nicest service. Amazing sandwiches. Was visiting the area for the weekend and came three times it was so good.

Don't come here if you're looking for a cheap breakfast sandwich... I came in today after a few months away very excited to come to a favorite spot of mine. Unfortunately, a simple bacon egg and cheese on wheat bread ( with the exception of egg whites ) ran me almost $8.00 which I find absolutely ridiculous. College students and many locals look to Bagel Basket as a staple within the area, however, I assure if their prices keep rising or remain as they are now many will not be returning including myself. I withheld ordering anything else because of this audacious price, and realistically I can't think of any reason why it's so expensive. On the brighter side, the sandwich was great as usual. I really hope this problem gets fixed because I love advocating for this place and I have done so many times in the past. read more

Had an incredible experience here- the food is great, and I went in with 7 of my friends and the guy up front hooked us all up with free t shirts and extra free sandwiches. Come here for all your bagel and sandwich needs. read more

I go to the Bagel Basket at least once a week for either breakfast or lunch. From their homemade croissants and bagels to the variety of salads and sandwiches, every meal I have had is always top notch. There are not many places in the area that offer fresh food rather than frozen or pre made. Since I leave for work very early in the morning there are times that they have even opened early so I can get my morning coffee. Thanks Bagel Basket for always being the best! read more

When they get your order right it's good. But most of the time it's a mess. I always call my order in 20 minutes before getting there and I always end up waiting another 20 minutes AFTER I get there. And the one time I only ordered 2 bagels. Another time I thought I would try their lunch, that was interesting. I ordered a cheeseburger but I ended up getting a sausage patty with cheese on a roll, at 2pm. The service is always slow and rude. read more

This place was delicious! Stumbled upon it after watching a cross country race at Lehigh. Everything we had was so good - a chicken Caesar wrap, the chicken salad, and a #10 on an everything bagel which was prosciutto and mozzarella. Delicious, quick despite there being a lot of people, and the manager asked us how things were and gave us a free large iced coffee. Definitely recommend read more

Great little breakfast and lunch spot. The staff is fast and friendly and the food is always delicious and fresh.

The bagels here are really good especially the everything bagels. But they do not know how to toast bagels (this is based off of several experiences, not just one). I suggest getting cream cheese on the side and toasting the bagels when you get home. read more

Do not I repeat, do not come here during the school school year after 9 am. They are clearly not staffed for the volume of incoming online orders and walk ins. I love their bagels and it's my go to place in the valley but it is painful to wait 30 mins for a bagel if you don't call ahead. Meanwhile staff is so busy they are forgetting to wear gloves and wash their hands. All while the manager just stands around and doesn't help as they struggle. read more

I haven't had a good bagel sandwich in a long time since the bagel place I used to go to in Williamsport shut down. I ordered a jalapeno cheddar bagel wit egg cheese and Canadian bacon and it was delish better then the place I used to go. Love that they use boars heads products will definitely be frequenting this spot. They were very friendly which is always appreciated. read more

When I think of the Lehigh Valley, railroads, colleges, Billy Joel, and steel come to mind. Bagels wouldn't be high on that list. However, it might be time to change that. The bagels at Bagel Market are awesome. In NYC they would be average, but that's pretty high praise for anywhere else. These bagels are nice and big, fluffy, and chewy. With a bagel like those, even a lifetime toaster like myself can go for a fresh untoasted bagel with some cream cheese. Yum. read more

Pretty decent overall. Just off of main street Hellertown this bagel places sits. The bagels are good, but are closer to a roll than they are to a typical bagel. Breakfast sandwiches are great though. Service is also fairly good. Overall a good breakfast spot and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to someone looking for a breakfast spot in Hellertown. read more

Great food! They stop selling coffee WAY Too early though. They close at 6pm and I couldn't buy coffee at 230pm. Kind of ridiculous but it's their loss. Food keeps me coming back but coffee would be great to go with it read more

This was our first time here we are not from area we stopped for coffee loved the selection of coffee flavors and all the extra flavorings the syrups it was like being in a coffee house but you make you own we picked up a half dozen bagels 2 onion 2 garlic 2 cinnamon raisin and a Reese peanut butter cookie and 2 medium coffees $11.37 with tax we ate the cookie on the 1 1/2 hour ride home it was sooo good and we had 1 onion 1 garlic bagel for breakfast the next morning they were delicious not as chewy as other bagels I've had but still very good if we are ever in the neighborhood again we will be stopping back my only problem was when packing the bagels she put them all in the same bag the cinnamon and raisin and they smelled like garlic & onion hope they don't taste like them read more

Amazing Bagel place with great food, happy people, and great neighborhood atmosphere where everyone knows each other. This is the kinda place that you wish you had around the corner from your house every morning. I highly recommend stopping in and getting a breakfast sandwich or bagel of any flavor. The freshness of these bagels and cream cheese is obvious. Forget NY bagels, stop in Bagel Basket and get yourself breakfast. You will thank me. read more

I miss this place :( I used to order the same thing and I know I'll ordered forever EVERYTHING BAGEL WITH VEGGIES CREAM CHEESE, ugh! They're just soooo yuuuuuum, I mean they have more things not just bagels but you guys need to try them because they're MY JAM! I wish I could have a bagel now :( read more

This place could mess up a wet dream if the opportunity arose.. Last time my order was right was freshmen year of high school 8 years ago

Amazing coustomer service, lots of healthy food options. Meat is cooked well, bagels are fresh, vegetables are fresh. They also have lots of tasty cream cheese options. Highly reccomend! read more

This place seriously needs to get its service working better. The food is great, but it's ridiculous the amount of time you need to wait, and you usually have to make a serious effort to get your food, in terms of flagging someone down and reminding them what you're waiting for. It's annoying and a shame, because the food is great and I would have come much more had it not been so irritating. Great bagels and fantastic hash browns. read more

It's a bagel shop. I guess I can't write a review that short so here goes: It's a bagel shop. And the prices are fair and the bagels are appropriately chewy (and not rock hard like many place). The service is a little slow but if you have the time to linger it's not too bad. Probably the closest the Valley has to that NY style of bagels. read more

I had a Cheddar cheese bagel with scallion cream cheese. I expected the bagel to have the cheddar baked throughout, but it was just a melted slice on top of a plain bagel. Not really what I was looking for. I'll give them another shot in the future, maybe try something else. read more

Do not stop here if you are in a hurry. This has to be the slowest bagel or sandwich shop in the Valley. In the time it takes them to prepare one sandwich, other local establishments like Goosey Gander or Johnny's Bagels could easily service 10-15 customer orders. Food is good once you actually get it but give yourself 20-30 minutes at the least to pick up your order. read more

I order from here a lot.. Although the food taste quiet good. I always feel like it is sloppy and rushed. My hash browns are always either burnt or not cooked. Always cold. Bagels not toasted the way a bagel should be. Only reason to keep going is because it is a small area and not a lot of breakfast/bagel spots around. If you are going to do something, why not do it the best?! read more

We have been going here for a long time now and it keeps getting better. They used to mess up our order about 50% of the time but since have taken steps to avoid making the mistake. Great bagels, sandwiches, and a lot of other quality options. read more

I walked in on a weekday afternoon, there was one other customer in the whole place, standing at the counter, with a woman with her back to him. After a few minutes of browsing the menu on the wall and not being acknowledged whatsoever, I turned around and walked out. I've heard food is good but service seems to be lacking. Not sure how they stay open because it never seems to be busy. read more
