Bagels were right on the money. Excellent selection of bagels, cream cheese and some other pastries. Service was quick and Efficient while friendly and welcoming. This is a small place that like many others in the northeast. Get your food and get out, the way we like it. read more

I'm used to NY and NJ bagels, and so I'm pretty tough on bagel joints. Bagel was hard as a rock. And not as "doughy" as it should be. Seemed more like a pretzel. The donuts were average, like what you'd get from Dunkin Donuts read more

Food was ok but service was definitely lacking. We order via Uber Eats and thought that would mean quick pick up. Although the app alerted us that the food was ready, we waited for like 10 minutes off to the side. It's a very small store and we were very clearly waiting for pickup. The staff just ignored us until I finally got one's attention to ask if there was an Uber Eats order for pick up. It then appeared like they just started making it. All the while ~15 customer ordered and got their food in the time we were standing there. Total time spent was around 15 mins. Had we just order there it would have likely been less than 5. For a cheap toasted bagel and microwaved egg and cheese, we will not be going back. read more

Greatest bagels on the PLANET! Seriously, it may not look like much but you should try it!

I loved my bagel from here! I've also tried the different cream cheese options and they were all so yummy read more

I think that some people are mixing up the two Country Bagel locations! There is one on Gay Street and one in the Parkway Shopping Center. I have been to both locations multiple times and I can tell the difference between the two when people are writing reviews. I know for sure that I am writing this 5 star review for Country Bagel on Gay Street. The bagels are made fresh DAILY, so whoever wrote the review stating the bagels "tasted frozen" and "must be from the local Walmart" is clearly mistaken. Also, their other bakery items are very fresh and very delish. Highly recommend all bakery items. Their menu is very versatile and there's something for everyone. HIGHLY RECOMMEND GAY STREET LOCATION! read more

Love this local bagel shop, super great bagels themselves but wish they would rework the way they take orders. You get in line, someone takes your order, sometimes you pay right then and other times you wait to the side for them to make the order and then you pay. It's not a big space so when it's crowded it's hard to navigate when people behind you already paid but you haven't. Most bagel shops I've been to someone is a cashier taking orders and the other is making the actual orders. Makes for a way better customer experience! Just a thought! Also a smile goes a long way :) read more

Good bagel place in West Chester. My friend and I came here on a Wednesday morning and there was a line of people waiting to order. There is no indoor seating here, so just be aware of that. The inside was on the smaller side. You can get a 4% discount if you pay with cash. The bagels we got were good, not out of this world though. It was reasonably priced for what you get. In my opinion, it could have had a bit more flavor. I also got a lemon pound cake loaf and was expecting it to be more lemony than it actually was. I would come here again but there are better places you can get a bagel in West Chester. read more

My husband bought several corn and blueberry muffins here about a week ago, ate one and put the rest in the freezer. This evening my son thawed out one of the corn muffins and saw something black on the outside of the muffin. Then he saw legs -- it was a fly, partially baked into the muffin. We were only grateful that it was a corn muffin (not blueberry) so it was easy to see the baked-in bug. We of course threw all the rest out, and will not buy anything here again. read more

Do not. I repeat. DO NOT order the chk ceasar wrap. This is STRICTLY bagels ONLY trust me read more

It was a lovely Sunday morning and I was craving some bagels for breakfast. I was over at Lion's place in Frazer, so I consulted my handy dandy Yelp app, with it's added bonus of providing a link to directions. Yay! Country Bagel came up so I loaded directions and headed out. Being a Sunday morning, I had no problems with street parking in downtown West Chester. I popped a quarter into the meter and headed in. This is a corner store, with two entrances, I entered on Gay Street. It's not a big place but it's laid out well, it's clearly pickup, there's on small table for anyone to dine in. There were a couple of refrigerated cases that held a variety of juices and sodas, even chocolate and regular milk in individual servings. Nicely done. One of the cases is dedicated to small tubs of spreadable cream cheeses - a good variety and quantity. I picked up the 'plain' cream cheese. Later spreading it on a toasted bagel it was creamy and smooth. The bakery sells more than bagels, there's also a decent selection of various pastries and cookies. Behind the counter were the bagels, and they had a good variety - plain, egg, garlic, poppy seed, pumpernickel, etc. I picked up some egg bagels and some whole wheat, some coffee and the cream cheese. At home we dug in. The egg bagels were...underwhelming. They're large, and they've got the chewiness but there was also some, well, puffiness, they were chewy but not really dense, which was odd. OK, I'm not a bagel purist. The disappointing part was the lack of flavor, they were quite bland, even with butter the flavor that comes through is the butter or the cream cheese. The bagels themselves added nothing. The wheat were a bit better, however still that odd cake-and-chewy combo. The location is clean and had wonderful bakery smells, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. It was a Sunday, and it was during the holidays, so maybe this was not their best. I have a feeling that the relative consistency and taste profile would make them very good sandwich bases, so maybe we'll get those sometimes. I'm not sure though that I would make a special trip to go to pick up bagels there, though. I'm a little sad about that. read more

Food is amazing here. You'd be surprised how hard it is to find a solid everything bagel these days. Just the right size, ample "everything" all over it. My fave is the protein bagel: everything bagel, egg whites, tomato and spinach. Yum! read more

Always loved this place but they just charged me $5 extra to put cream cheese on my gluten free bagel.... Just because the bagel was gluten free? Even though it's the same cream cheese as anything else? I asked about it to be sure there was no mistake made.... They did indeed confirm they intended to charge me $5 in addition to the bagel charge just because my bagel was gluten free... sadly never coming back because that's insane. Oh and for reference... the gluten free bagel is MUCH smaller as seen in the photo so it was actually much more money for LESS cream cheese. read more

Bagels are a nuanced art. To find a place that is consistent, with high quality bagels and consistent hours, that ALSO makes breakfast sandwiches to order is a treat. The ladies behind the counter are straight business and get me in and out within a couple minutes. They don't smile much or make small talk; perhaps they are concentrating on getting my order perfect, and frankly I'm great with it because they never miss. What's up with that One-Star review below? The person froze some muffins "last week" and took it out of the freezer, a week later, and just happened find find a fly in the muffin? That is the weirdest story. are you insane coming on here giving a one star review to this place over a fly Sir Or ma'am , flys are a part of life. I've never found a fly in anything I've gotten here, but if you eat one or two in your life I promise you're going to be ok. why are you freezing fresh muffins to eat a week later anyhow? This place is great if you like bagels or bagel sandwiches. If you like muffins and are gunna eat them same day, this place is great. on the other hand if you do some weird stuff, like store the bagels inside out and placed in the flue of your chimney for a fortnight - well in that case maybe this ISNT the place for you. read more

Did an online order and my credit card was charged, when I went to pick up my order they said that they didn't get the order. So instead of just doing something for me they said sorry for your luck and goodbye. Now I have to get the charge off my credit card. I live two blocks away and will never go there again. read more

My go to bagel place. I just love their breakfast sandwiches. I always get a bacon egg and cheese on an everything bagel and I must say nothing compares. Even though they microwave their eggs they are still delicious. I think the saltiness of the cheese and the bagel make the sandwich. The location in town is way better then the parkways shopping center one. We drive out of the way to get it! read more

So disappointed in this store. Me and my bf go here every weekend. We ordered delivery for the first time today and we had ordered over 40$ worth of bagels for our friends. Anyway the order comes and it's all poppyseed. They didn't even call us to make sure it's ok. We have friends with allergies. We would have gone somewhere else had we known. I feel a little bit robbed. read more

Clear signage re:masks and lines on the floor for social distancing. BUT when the second register opened, everyone crowds up to the counter. 4-5 people within a few inches of each other. Not cool. I had already ordered and paid and had to walk past people WAY too close to me. When I said to the young workers that it was not great social distancing, I got berated by other customers! Did you know that there is a COVID complaint form for PA? I filled one out, here is the link: https://expressforms.pa.gov/apps/pa/doh/COVID-19-Complaint This is our go-to bagel spot for years. I will go back but not at 9:30am. Go early before it gets crowded. read more

This is the best bagel shop in the area. The bagels and cream cheese are awesome. Highly recommend.

Amazing Bagel!!! I would've liked more bacon but overall amazing and fresh!! We also purchased donuts that my kids devoured. The price point is perfect. Happy eating read more

Place stinks. High prices, hardly any food. Got two sandwiches and there was barely food on them and not to mention the size of the bagels. They were small and tasted frozen, might've been bought at the local Walmart. Go elsewhere for a good, quality bagel. read more

Great little spot at towards the end of Gay St. Bagels are always fresh, coffee always hot, and the service always friendly. Stop by and grab a seat outside and take in the people coming into town. read more

I've gone to country bagel a few times. They charge $4.25 for their "gourmet cream cheeses" and the last 3 times I've went, I paid for a bagel with "gourmet cream cheese" and got plain cream cheese. there's a price difference. there was only one other customer in there so it's not like it was busy. This has happened to me at least 50% of the time I've gone there. I personally will no longer be going. read more

If you are concerned about social distancing please do not attempt a visit to this location. The teenagers working the counter are not equipped to enforce social distancing rules and it's not their fault, a manager really should be present to keep things under control. Someone came in the wrong door and was allowed to jump the line and just order. He was filthy and was just hanging all over the counter. I got the wrong muffin twice before I got the right muffin. I work in customer service and even I was having a rough time keeping my cool. I don't know what kind of bagel my sandwich came on but it's not the right bagel. Sadly I won't even attempt to go back in because it's an absolute cluster. If you'd like to turn a great morning into a stressful experience, by all means, give it a go. "Disappointed" doesn't even begin to cover how I feel. read more

I like all three locations . Really, but they are all very different. High street has the best bagels but I don't know why. I was told they use the same recipe. Nice help. Waits can be on the long side. But still the best bagel in the land of no bagels. read more

I absolutely love Country Bagel. My friends and I go here every week. Service is great and the bagels are to die for!

I had wonderful service today! I just wanted to get something to eat before my final and when I walked in there power was out. They could not have been any nicer and apologetic. I still bought bagels and cream cheese and they are amazing! read more

Just got a bagel sandwich. The bagel itself was good but my egg was undercooked and when asked for a avocado I got a brown moldy avacodo on it. read more

Checked this place out while visiting family in West Chester, and I was honestly underwhelmed. The bagels my sister and I got felt weirdly flat and underproofed--no super distinct crusty outside, nor no soft middle. the jalapeño cream cheese on mine was on the bland side. I'm not horrified by microwaved eggs in the same way some of the other reviewers are, but it doesn't make a great case either. While I feel like the bagels themselves are only just a step above your run of the mill Dublin Donuts bagel, I do commend Country Bagel for their wide selection and quick service, though... although the donuts we got were just ok and, again, bland. There are worse places for a quick bite. read more

Charged me for 3 tubs of cream cheese when I only Purchased two. I also didn't get a receipt. It was so crowded inside that I think the workers were rushing to get orders done. I prefer the one on high street a lot more. read more

3 star first experience. Really enjoyed my bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and large coffee. Service was friendly, and paying with a credit card was quick and easy with the available technology. Parking wasn't a problem, but I could imagine that it might be later in the day with more traffic and customers, but to be fair, I didn't really walk around the area to find out. If I lived closer, I would be a regular. Looking forward to returning next Saturday! read more

This place is really bad. We were in a rush to grab something quickly and overlooked the appearance. The waitresses were very slow. We ordered breakfast sandwiches on bagels. The bagels were decent but I think they microwaved the eggs. I can go to Dunkin Donuts if I want microwaved eggs. Maybe they get away with the greasy look and service because they are so close to West Chester University and figure that students don't know any better. We do and won't be returning. read more

I've been going to country bagel since I was little. I love everything about it. However the past few times here the customer service was horrible. The girl behind the counter was rude in every way possible. She was completely miserable and took it out on everyone. This has happened multiple times. I get that it's busy and there's a lot going on. It wouldn't have mattered but she was so miserable- makes me not want to go back. I felt bad for the other girl she was training- she had more common sense and knows how to treat people. She needs an attitude check or a new job or just get some manners. I don't want to have to deal with this when I'm just trying to get some breakfast like come on. It's sad this poor service has to reflect on this great company. Amazing breakfast sandwiches though! read more

They don't use real eggs in their breakfast sandwiches. I hate places that are bagel stores and they don't make the egg. "Ehhh" at best read more

Cute place in walking distance from my apartment. I went at 6:30 and got a salmon bagel that was 10/10 amazing. Great service too.

Took forever to consul front to take our order. She had a fake happy attitude (you know what I mean) the food was good but not like usual. The counter girls kept talking about personal life instead of customer service skills. There are people in this world that need a job that would take there place in a heart beat think about that country bagel owners read more

Just moved into town from Nyc and am happy to report that this place makes some damn good bagels. Not exactly the same as a NY bagel (these are more bready and fluffy, less dense and doughy than in NY) but tasty! I laughed at the review complaining about the microwaved eggs. Honestly, what deli/bodega have you ever been to that fried a legit egg for your breakfast bagel? It's Country Bagel, not "Bourgeois Bagel". LOL. The miked eggs are delicious and grease-free. Many many kudos to the kids working here. They always seem to be working hard, cleaning and keeping things tidy, even when the place is empty. I've stopped in several times just as they're getting ready to close and they haven't been annoyed with me at all, even when I've been annoyed with myself for getting breakfast at 2:45. I'm sure they deserve more tips than they actually get! I'm only docking a star because I wish they were open later! read more

Bagel was good, but they microwaved my eggs and I didn't enjoy it that much. My pork roll was soggy and my egg like rubber. Other than my microwaved egg and meat it was delicious. read more
