Ziv H.

Bagel wishes dashed by the service setup and the ultimately delivered bagels. Simply: coffees, two. bagels, toasted butter and cream cheese, one of each. We are first in line (later 12 form behind us) Nearly 20 minutes later on the clock..... no empty-fill-yourself-coffee-cup-offered yet; numerous interim online bag pickups ensue; and finally, with some insistence, ours is provided amidst all; frustrated we leave quickly. The discovered non-toasted cold, bread-like, bagels, one with butter and one with cream cheese. ...Too frustrated to go back and return them given the time and crowd. A No-Return disappointment. Meaning, no second chances planned.

Decent Philly bagel place, but with NY prices. I'm a NY'er, who spent a weekend in Philadelphia. I went to grab some bagels and juices. I was immediately greeted by someone who took my order and assured me with paying. The place looked neat and the gentlemen was very friendly (aside from his Eagles hat, everything was perfect) Two bagels, two juices and a muffin was about $15 bucks. I found that to be a tad on the expensive side, but the service and the product were good. I would return here in the future.

Blueberry bagel with honey walnut cream cheese
Amanda K.

We stopped here for breakfast and I enjoyed it! I got the classic bagel with sausage egg and cheese and a hash brown on the side. My bf got the blueberry bagel with honey walnut cream cheese, a hash brown on the side and coffee. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was exactly like a real nyc bagel, but it was one of the better ones I've had not in nyc! The food came out quickly, was good, and the people were nice. They definitely don't put a ton of cream cheese on the bagels (especially comparative to nyc) and my hash brown was a bit too expensive and underdone for my liking. Overall it was a good breakfast and I'd go back!

I was first introduced to Manhattan Bagel around thirty years ago. Even before Yelp was a thing I wanted to spread the word of these fresh as can be bagels at the age of seven. My family and I introduced the bagel to our family dog and she was probably the most enthusiastic participant I have seen devouring a Manhattan bagel since. I will continue to preach on about Manhattan Bagel and they really do introduce some quite interesting seasonal items - just look at the picture of there newest creation the Pretzel Pastrami Egg Sandwich I took below! Whether you choose a toasted or fresh bagel, cream cheese or butter, breakfast meat or delectable fish, I think you will be happy with your experience with this bagel joint I know I was. As always people SYOY!!

The smallest Nova Lox you'll ever see
Nia O.

This place is a lot like Einstein Bagels which is a fav of mine. I ordered the nova lox and it was decent at best, but $12.95 for a bagel that small is ridiculous in my opinion. Einstein bagels offers way better bagel sizes and better service in my opinion. I'd recommend trying different bagel shops in the city to get a better bang for your buck. Overall the taste was good but not worth the money at all.

What they deserve is zero star.I went last week and took one dozen bagel, apparently they mix old bagels with couple that are new. Although I put the rest of the bagels in the refrigerator the next day it had already fungus on it. I've been to many countries and I never seen bagels like this, no taste, not enough sesame and very bad quality spread cheese. A dozen cost $17 on top of that cheating just because they don't care about their customers with all their greediness and cheating.

Stopped by while walking and grabbed a latte. For half the price of Starbucks, you can get a simple, tasty coffee. Their bagel sandwiches also look delicious although I did not order one during my visit! My only negative comment is that the coffee making system seems a little inefficient. You order the bagels before the register so they're ready when you pay, but the coffee is made at the register while you pay. I felt a little bad holding up the line, when I wish the coffee could have been made quicker.

I the only one in the store with two workers, and it was the longest wait. One on the phone and the other doing everything except helping me, it took 5 minutes for someone to take my order, then another 7 to make the sandwich. Lady at checkout made me pay twice because she messed up the amount the first time. Picked the sausage bacon egg and cheese on a croissant. Pretty pricey for the size, but everything tasted good. While someone was in the bathroom, a worker walked by with 2 rolls of toilet paper and realized they were in there with none. She put them on the counter and left, and the other workers let 2 other customers use the restroom without TP even after knowing it was all out. Kind of rude. Croissant sandwich was alright though, and the cheese made it super tasty. Would've asked for it more toasted if I knew, but alright. Bagels looked average.

. Farmhouse and Iced Coffee

The hashbrown bagel sammie was amazing I also had the caramel macchiato which was delicious could have used a little more caramel but was still good

Breakfast Cheesesteak without onions & peppers
Soprina G.

This was probably the worst breakfast sandwich I've ever had. It felt like I wasn't eating a sandwich just stale bread. There was barely any steak or eggs on it. The bread was dry and the size was smaller than what I paid for.

Love seeing a positive face in the morning! I orders a BEC on sea salt rosemary-- my goto. Bagels were out in ~5 minutes, and it was a delicious bit to eat with coffee later on. The shop here is pick-up only, and on some mornings when I've visited especially in the winter, it's kind of painful to wait inside because it started to get a bit cramped. More just a heads up but not a piece of feedback though since their lot is pretty small. If you're grabbing breakfast in the Rittenhouse area, this is nice option for you! Just know that you'll have to take it to-go and eat it elsewhere.

The everything bagel seasoning was very good but the bagel was mediocre. The bagel was loaded with strawberry cream cheese which had good flavor. The others had regular bagels and had better reviews of the bagels. A couple egg sandwiches were described as being "good" and a plain bagel with cream cheese was given similar review. I'm not sure it's the kind of bagel shop that I would go racing back to at any point but it was decent. A bright light was how good the staff was to work with in terms of being friendly while placing an order. Probably brought this review from a 3 to a 4 based upon the staff interaction.

The only place I can compare it to is the former Wolfie's on Collins Avenue in Miami Beach. It…read moreserved a large Jewish community very well until it closed back in 2002. But, I must tell you... Hershel's Corned Beef Reuben was way better than any sandwich I ever had there. The cut of meat is thicker and the portion sizes are huge. My husband thinks he heard the guy say it was three-quarters of a pound of corned beef. I believe it because it definitely felt like there was at least 6 ounces on my half of the sandwich. I'm glad we decided to split it. It was totally worth the price that we paid for it. We arrived around 4:00 pm on a Thursday. It was busy at the market, but not as busy as it was on Saturday. We were tossed between the Reuben and the Rachel. The difference is that the Rachel has cole slaw instead of sauerkraut. I don't think you can go wrong either way. It didn't take long for the order to be ready. The service was great. They split the sandwiches and wrapped them individually. We each got a pickle spear. We didn't have to go too far to find seats. They have bar seating along the back counter that's specifically for their customers. The Reuben was very tasty. I even liked the pickle. I think they have desserts, but we had no room for it. I'd love to return one day to try their pastrami, and maybe even the breakfast. I wish we would have had more time to try one of these sandwiches on Challah bread. The menu has a little something for anyone craving a Jewish style deli experience. It's worth a visit when at Reading Terminal Market.

I've lived in the Northeast (New Jersey/New York) for about half my life. When I order a bagel,…read moreI'll tell them the type of bagel, whether I want it toasted (always yes for me), the type of cream cheese (scallion vegan cream cheese), and then any additions that I want (usually tomato and onion). When ordering coffee, I'll let them know what I want (drip coffee) with whatever kind of milk (with heavy oat milk enough to change colour) and sweetener (with sugar please). Then you let them know any sides you want. I may or may not be saying it a bit quickly, because I'm half awake, and running on auto pilot, because I've lived in the Northeast for so long. The absolutely delightful lady behind the counter got it all recorded, fired, and sorted as and when it was coming out of my mouth. Confirmed everything, collected my payment, and we kept it pumping. As soon as the coffee was ready, called me over to grab it, because it was chilly and rainy while we waited. When one of the items I was ordering was taking a long time, the staff let me know that the item was taking a while longer than expected to finish cooking. My food came out perfectly done. Also, when they pass you your food, they confirm how many things you're ordering to make sure you get all your stuff. This operation is efficient, fast, and friendly. It's inexpensive for what you're getting. Coffee is excellent. Bagels have that snappy exterior, and chewy insides. Hash browns are crisp and piping hot. Coffee is rich and dark. Genuinely, you can't have any complaints when everything is done just right.
