    Abstract bagel interpretations are far more common than they once were in this shop.
    G S.

    They've sadly slid downhill to the point my wife asks why do you still go there? The sadly abstract misshapen bagelry keeps me laughing and frustrated at the same time. There are days when the baker does not get started early enough and a few flavors are not available. Occasionally the bagels are doughy and under baked which is no bueno. The smoked-salmon spread must have changed recipe over the past few months and seems to have liquid smoke added in the cream cheese at this point. I continue to patronize the store since there are no alternatives in the area. I continue to hope they can put in that little extra effort and routinely deliver a stellar product again in the near future.

    I was contacted by the NEW owner In reference to my crappy though well-deserved review of the PREVIOUS place. I was contacted because apparently she really cares and wants to know about my experience and I'm sure how to make it even better to learn from previous mistakes. I really like it when an owner reaches out, it shows they that care. Bye-bye guess is that she didn't just care about the review but about how to make it the best place around. I'm not sure if I will be in that neighborhood to go there but I know somebody who did and they said it was better both in service and in taste/quality. They had absolutely no complaints and she's a very good friend of mine I trust her opinion hence 5-Stars.

    Bagel Selection

    Let me just start off by saying that I was born and raised in New York, meaning that I am no stranger to authentic bagels and a large selection of flavored cream cheese spreads. This place is the first authentic bagel I have been able to find outside of New York. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and if it's not boiled then knock me over with a feather! The Pros: Great flavor selection Various Cream Cheese flavors Friendly service - after visiting only two times so far the lady at the front counter remembered me and was very welcoming. The Cons: Wait time - both times I visited after 9 AM on a weekday. The first time there was only one person in line ahead of me the other time there were 4-5 people in line ahead of me. That second time I waited at least 20 minutes. There really should be someone else behind the counter to prepare orders while the other deals with taking orders & money. The price - A bagel with cream cheese was a bit on the pricey side. Order accuracy- again, I have only visited twice and both times my order was incorrect. One bagel was ordered toasted but it wasn't. Sadly, this was before a road trip and I didn't realize until I was halfway through Chester county. The So So: The coffee- wasn't horrible but didn't knock my socks off. It was also luke warm.

    Just an average bagel place. My breakfast sandwich hit the spot (bacon egg and cheese on a blueberry bagel), but my boyfriend's hash brown was mushy. Service was average and the line was confusing for someone who has never been here before. The line starts to the right of the counter. You order, you then make your way around to the left to pay.... if the staff ever takes your payment. It's almost as if they don't want you to pay, because every customer literally had to ask the staff to take their payment.

    So much potential to be a 5...The good: friendly staff, good location. The bagel itself was fresh and home made tasting. Although it was a little chewy...slightly under cooked. Prices good. The bad: clean up! You're serving food! The floor is filthy. The baseboard moldings have like an inch of grease and dirt. Paint, ammonia, bleach...have some respect for your business and customers. The fridge section that is in front of prep area has never been swept underneath. Prime view of filth when sitting inside. Honestly, I hope they will clean it up. I'd like to see this place succeed. But one day, the department of health will close it down. I'll go back in 30 days..look for my update! Update: still no cleaning. Still missing huge commercial opportunities to stock up on extras like chips, snacks, etc.

    Horrible bagels. Ordered an egg and cheese bagels and the woman was very rude since I came 45 minutes before closing and ordered 3 egg and cheese bagels. How is that my fault? If you're that annoyed about your job, then close the shop, don't make me pay for your inconsistencies. The bagel was horrible. I ordered an egg and cheese and it had barely anything on it. The bagel tasted old and rubbery. Thanks for ruining my morning. Go to WAWA.

    A "garlic" bagel. Must have been low on garlic...

The cafe is located inside a bigger building and can easily be missed if you are not looking for it. There are signs in the window. No big sign outside to direct you. Ample parking available. Serving staff were attentive and friendly. The food was excellent. I especially loved the homemade potato chips. They are so much better than processed bagged chips. I asked for recommendations before I ordered. I was directed to Dad's Ribeye sandwich. Oh so good! Thinly sliced steak with melted cheese and peppers. It was gooey, messy and the perfect comfort food. I highly recommend a visit.

It's lunch and dinner with a pretty small menu but the options are all delicious sounding! They also have specials as well. It was nice to see the same chef and some of the same staff when we went. There's only a handful of tables maybe 10 or so and then there is a counter at the windows. They had a nice mural as well as a nice neon sign. The whole design is clean and simple. It's one of the establishments inside "The Vault Town Center" which is a repurposed bank housing several businesses and eateries. The staff was super nice our waitress was very sweet. We went with one of their "handhelds" and one of their "steaks". The double cheese meatball parm and the boomer steak. The boomer steak was my favorite of the two because it had a really great flavor profile between the ribeye, the steakhouse onion white cheddar, mushrooms and crispy onions- great texture and taste! The meatball was also really good. Very hearty sized meatballs on a garlic bread roll with provolone and whipped ricotta. I didn't really taste much of the garlic flavor but I really enjoyed the ricotta on the sandwich. The portions were decent. I was full but not overly stuffed. Both of our sandwiches came with chips but you could upgrade to fries - which were super thin and crispy. I might upgrade next time ! Overall I'm excited for this location and to get a taste of Sammy's beyond their usual "brunch" Hours. Cannot wait to come back and to see what else they do !

    Now this is unbelievable that I am the first to review. So this is gonna be an experience…read more The beginning First, very delightful on the phone. They got an amazing menu with vegetarian as in portobello mushrooms, but they also have grilled or chopped chicken, which is pretty cool. How, what, why It is a dry steak, not burnt. Really good! p. s. ( some real Philly cheesesteaks make sure it is actually burnt just slightly on the edges to get that super grilled taste. While others are so wet, it soaks through the bun and you can't even pick it up. And if you take it on a trip for 10 minutes...Inedible. Did you know that a ' real steak' is not made w oil ; but spots of water? That's because the fat on it should be good enough in balance that it doesn't stick.) Taste, smell, satisfaction It is very juicy and not oily, (which in my opinion goes through the bun when you take it out, such as when you go to Henry Avenue, or a couple local places) nope. No wet roll. Awesome and great to take for later and re-warm without it getting all screwed up. Idea for goin' South Like taking 50 of them down to Virginia or Tennessee. In a cooler. That would work. My pics I start with just a steak, sesame roll fried onions. I added two kinds of Parmesan, a touch of red pepper, salt, and yes, tomato sauce. Sorry I was raised on that. Ketchup is too sweet for me. Litmus test If you eat a steak plain, it'll really tell you how good it is. How much gristle is in it etc. This had NO PERCEPTION OF GRISTLE. NICE! Rating This was excellent. Prime protein, nice roll - Lisco's of course - well done. So you are prepared; While I will eat 1/2 of a sandwich and be very satisfied, the rolls are smaller. And the price of ALL steaks is higher. You know how your ice cream is shrunk? I actually didn't know my wife pointed out to me. Well, the rolls have shrunk. So sandwiches for four people will cost a minimum of $65 with tip. Get outside. It's worth it your kids will love it. I hope to be there. Thanks for a great sandwich.
