These were doughy, substantial, great for toasting and putting cream cheese and lox on. My favorites: the everything and egg bagels. My husband said that there was quite a line when he and his brother got our order, and I can see why. I would get bagels from here all the time if I lived nearby -- a definite must for whenever we come back.

We've been longtime fans of Kismet, but the Main Line luncheonette really upped the game. Unlike…read morethe Fishtown location, this spot has espresso drinks and soft serve -- a total win. The bagels are still excellent (jalapeño cheddar for life), and I love that they've brought the same thoughtful vibe to this new space. It's got a charming, diner-meets-modern feel with limited seating, but the energy is cozy and upbeat. Great for takeaway or a quick sit-down if you snag a spot. Gluten-free options are available too, which is always appreciated. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area -- and yes, parking is tricky, but having a parking lot makes it more manageable.

I stopped by yesterday and picked up a Big Tuna sandwich, and unfortunately it was very…read moredisappointing. In the past, Kismet had one of the most amazing tuna sandwiches around--tuna with green goddess dressing, crushed potato chips, and cheese on bread. It was unique, flavorful, and absolutely worth the price. This time, however, it seemed to be a much more mayonnaise-heavy version, and it completely lacked what made the sandwich so special. For the amount it costs, I was really expecting the quality and flavor profile that made it a favorite. I hope you'll consider bringing back the original recipe. It was distinctive, memorable, and one of the reasons I kept coming back. The current version just doesn't compare. Thanks for listening to a loyal customer who would love to see the original Big Tuna return.

My partner had been to both Murray's Deli and Hymie's Deli in Ardmore. We wanted to have lunch…read moreafter an appointment, so I took a quick look on Yelp, and decided to go to Hymie's. It was packed - only a few tables were available at 12:30 on a Friday afternoon. We were immediately seated and looked over the menu. We decided to share a 1/2 Pastrami sandwich ( you can order 1/2 a sandwich ), 1/2 a Corned Beef sandwich, an order of Potato Latkes and we each had a small bowl of Chicken Matzo Ball soup. The soup was delicious - it was a little bowl with tiny shreds of carrots and chicken. The broth tasted very good, however, the matzo ball was a 'little' different. They were light and fluffy - but there was no texture or flavor at all....none. I would have thought the matzo balls would have absorbed some of the flavor from the soup, but it didn't. I finished the soup, but left the matzo ball. My partner likes pastrami over corned beef - she says it's a more 'peppery' flavor. While I probably prefer corned beef over pastrami because it's a leaner cut, my 'baseline' for pastrami is Katz's (NYC). I'm sure Katz's has great corned beef, but I've only had pastrami there - it's the best I've had. I thought my Corned Beef sandwich was excellent - it was lean, tender and very tasty. I squeeze out a little mound of mustard on my plate and dip. My partner thought her Pastrami sandwich was very good - it was also quite lean. I took a few bites of the pastrami, I thought my corned beef was tastier and had more texture. It almost seemed like they sliced the pastrami too thin. She liked her pastrami more than my corned beef - I suppose it's all a matter of individual taste. The Potato Latkes were delicious - especially with the applesauce! They were a little thicker than I might have preferred, possibly from either potato starch or matzo meal. However, there was a very nice potato taste and the thicker texture was fine. Of course, on the way out I saw a large selection of pasties and had to try a few! I got a few of the Rugelach and a Poppy Hamantash. The Rugelach were a disappointment - the interiors of all were very thick and doughy. I ate some of the exterior layers.....and left the rest. The Poppy Hamantash, on the other hand was one of the best I've had. It was by far the largest one I've ever had! As a result, there wasn't enough Mohn (poppy filling) for such a large pastry! The filling was very good as was the cookie (it was like 1/2 scone and 1/2 cookie)! Overall, Hymie's exceeded my expectations and I'll look forward to returning.

I love a good bagel. And a good bagel to me is boiled and then baked so the inside is soft and…read morethe exterior is "crispy". Those kinds of bagels are hard to find and all too often, the places that try to boil and then bake don't quite capture the right flavor in the dough. Spread scores high in boil and subs wood fire for bake. The dough is solid and I love the non-traditional options like rosemary-olive oil and sweet potato. The staff lets you know which bagels are still warm from the oven to help you with your choice. There are a variety of breakfast and brunch sandwiches along with an assortment of cream cheeses. I have a thing for a warm sesame bagel with jalapeño cream cheese and the one I received here was perfect! Service is quick. The bagels are fresh and they will add a slice of tomato or bacon if you wish.

I think they were interesting and the rosemary salt flavor was good but the texture didn't hit the spot when you crave a bagel and the fillings could have used some seasoning.
