Manhattan Bagel is a pretty decent bagel spot located just off Ridge Avenue in Roxborough. I got the everything bagel with lox and it wasn't bad, just not the best I've had in the city. My kiddo enjoyed her plain bagel with egg, cheese, and bacon. With coffee and a juice the total came to $30. I was a little disappointed that when we ordered a hot chocolate, we were told they were out. The lobby was clean with no frills or sense of décor. The bathroom was clean, and that's always a relief. The staff were prompt and friendly, our order came out within five minutes, and the coffee bar was well-stocked. It was a very average experience, which is neither good nor bad. read more

I stopped by after my workout in the morning and the line was very long and it look a while to order and get my food. I ordered a lox bagel and it wasn't bad but it was overpriced! I did enjoy the option to select a lot of different bagel options but overall it was average. read more

Manhattan Bagel - Lox bagel - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Service was great but just as a New Yewkr need a better bagel. Still have not found one in Philly.

If the goal is NYC cosplay, there's one thing they got right: the prices. Just shy of $15 for a bagel with lox, cream cheese, and tomato puts them right in line with the Upper West Side ... a land where a parking spot costs more than a house in Roxborough. From there it was downhill. The bagels themselves are thin and flavorless. Like what you'd get from a supermarket. The lox was fishy tasting and had no smoke flavor. I'll leave the tomato alone because it's November. They somehow managed to make the bagle soggy (something I've never experienced). Nail in the coffin is delivering it with extra garbage: a huge cardboard box, where a small bag would have been fine. Once was more than enough. read more

The food is so cheap and tastes good! The parking in this area is a little limited but the bagel options are great.

Order was incorrect and the bagels that were supposed to be toasted were freezing cold lol

The food and breakfast bagels are good, but they always run out of everything way before they close. For example came here at 11:30am and all the bagels were gone except for the cheesy hash brown and cinnamon raisin. And they are still getting a good amount of customers at this time. Their soda machine has been out for about a year, you think they would try to get it fixed?! Disappointed with this place Went back again to get bagels, they opened 2 hours again and already out of egg bagels read more

Manhattan Bagel - a coffee bar with coffee machines - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I read the reviews seconds after I ordered and thought I was going to regret it . The problem with Yelp reviews these days is that people want to post them mainly when they have a complaint . I ordered through door dash and I was pleasantly surprised . Fast delivery , Everything was perfect and the food was absolutely delicious . Probably the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in a very long time ! Coffee 10/10 and I can be quite picky with my morning cup of joe lol. I will be a regular here . Thank you for the quality and care you put into everything read more

Going downhill. I've been coming here since they opened. Meat-Egg-Cheese bagel sandwiches seem to be getting smaller as the years go by. I've tried calling in orders on Saturday mornings to save time (in car so I can't do it online) and they never answer the phone. The staff is nice but indifferent. They are reasonably quick, the bagels are good and the place is clean. However, I am searching for a better alternative. read more

This location is very close to my home but I won't return despite them being very friendly. I ordered the nova lox =$9.71 and it came with an ample side order and a pickle. The sandwich was below average in my opinion. The everything bagel was sweet and it didn't bode well with this sandwich. There wasn't enough lox and too many onions which threw the balance off. I still can taste the onions in my mouth. There wasn't enough cream cheese either. I ate it because it wasn't horrible but like I said I won't return here. I don't like wasting my hard earned money to be disappointed. On another note, yesterday I tried the one in Glenolden and my sandwich was perfect! I didn't get as much potato salad but my main course was excellent. Which is why I came here. Nope, that was mistake. I might give this location another try depending on how desperate but I doubt it management will contact me to rectify my truly dissatisfied experience. I hate wasting money and having onion taste doesn't help either I'll try the Montgomery location next since it's not too far. read more

Horrible customer service. Prescheduled an order for the next day and Manhattan Bagel canceled it without any explanation. I called to ask why and whoever answered the phone hung up on me after I politely asked why my order was canceled. read more

Most awful customer service I have ever had. If only I can give negative stars. We walked in and the woman at the counter was on the phone, and did not acknowledge that we walked in, neither did anyone else working. I start ordering once she got off the phone. She stared at me after I ordered and said nothing. I looked back at her with a confused look and she seemed very angry and frustrated. She says "I can't hear anything you're saying from all the way over there". I was right near the counter. I repeated my order and she was clearly agitated. All of that disrespect just for mid level bagels. Stay away from this place. read more

This place is going downhill fast. Staff is great, but they never have bagels. I mean can't we make more? read more

Manhattan Bagel - This is 10:00 on a Tuesday morning. Third time I've walked in to hardly any bagels - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I like Manhattan Bagel because they are the only bagel store that has rye bagels, and they are true bagels, not bagel shaped rolls. However, my son got me a gift certificate for mother's day online and this store does not accept them. They have their own special gift cards that you can buy at the store. The new owner set this up, according to the employees. This is just wrong. read more

I have only ever been to this Manhattan Bagel during the COVID-19 quarantine but my experience was excellent. The staff working the front door were extremely cautious and I felt safe ordering and picking up my bagels to go. You can either order online or at the door and pickup. I got a dozen bagels and I was amazed at how fresh the bagels were. Even the next day they were still soft and flavorful. The deal where you get a bakers dozen and two cream cheeses is a steal. read more

This location had terrible customer service. Imagine rushing to get your favorite type of breakfast sandwich and making to the store with time to spare just to be turned away for an inadequate reason. I thought the worst would be that they'd be out of my favorite bagel because it was late afternoon, but it was worse, we arrived 20 minutes before closing and were told we could not order because they had already turned the grill off. There wasn't even an attempt to suggest an item that didn't need to be cooked on the grill. I felt like the 3 employees just wanted to leave and did not want to stop cleaning up to assist a customer, it was a horrible feeling. My daughter is pregnant and really wanted a bagel sandwich you don't know disappointment until you fail to come through for a hungry pregnant person. read more

So far $14.75 for a wrap, bagel and a small coffee I know it's Philly but WHAT! Its breakfast and probably cost you $2 to make what we actually ate. The food was just ok. I got a breakfast sandwich and it was alright but pretty bland not a lot of flavor I added some hot sauce and that helped. My wife got a wrap- it was decent sized. Again, not impressed with the amount/ quality of the food for the amount being charged. I get it's Philly but a bagel is a bagel bro. They did have a great selection of coffee- my wife was impressed with that. Terrible parking lot so get ready for chaos if you're driving to the location. Friendly staff but they kind of just expected ya to know what you wanted right that second in typical Philly restaurant fashion. We might try it again. Probably not. I'll get a sausage egg and cheese bagel at McDonald's read more

- rude Karen like lady taking the orders - told us there was limited bagels currently (which is fine), asked for an everything bagel - was given attitude "I said we only have what's there, that's an onion bagel" Everything basket was literally filled with onion bagels, lady how am I suppose to know read more

I called to ask a question and the person that answered the phone hung up & then left the off the hook.

Great bagels! Don't order via Doordash or another delivery app; orders have had missing items twice & you can't always get your money back. I was refunded for the missing pound cake today, but not the missing sandwich on April 28. I'll chalk the $10 up to a donation. Not too vexed, I guess things are busy and it is an unprecedented time. Probably best to go there in person. I'm immunocompromised, so sadly, I won't be able to enjoy their bagels again until after COVID-19 passes. read more

If I could give this zero stars, I would. Asked for a Club sandwich with no onions, on multigrain toast. Received a club sandwich with NO TURKEY & Extra onions on a multigrain bagel. No phone number to call them as the number is disconnected. Now I'm left eating tomato, lettuce, and one piece of bacon on a non-toasted bagel. Just horrible! read more

Manhattan Bagel - Club sandwich with Onions - Bagels Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Love this place. Good bagels, decent coffee and they get through the line quickly. Have been going for years will keep going for many more to come. read more

Great bagels...the garlicky aroma of the garlic bagel can be smelt outside the bag. Perfect balance of chew when toasted. My only criticism is the price of a bagel sandwich with turkey. How is it $3 more than a bagel, steak, egg, cheese sandwich? Will continue to go but only for breakfast. read more

You'll be navigating through throngs of hungover college students here on the weekend but that's a bit of the charm. I don't think there's another place within a few mile radius to a descent New York style bagel. This place is walkable and that should be your first option given the parking lot can be a zoo. It's usually crowded but a cheaper, faster alternative to a sit down diner breakfast. Not bad morning choice and they get the line moving fairly quickly. read more

I have cravings for the honey whole wheat everything bagels! They are so good. My bf and I usually buy a dozen bagels of mixed types and then freeze them so they stay fresh longer. They sadly don't make espresso drinks here like some other locations but they are pretty quick and always get our order correct! read more

Pricey but the bagels are on point. Chewy with just the right amount crisp when you toast them. Service has always been good and even though it's an extra $.50 to get them sliced it's well worth it to just get home and be able to eat them! read more

Horrible service. I don't know who is working there but they obviously can't read. Messed up my order (iced coffee with cream), left out a bagel, and put one tiny slice of cucumber on a soggy, wet, bagel. God speed. read more

I just tried this place and my goodness their bagels are delicious. Their lox bagel is on point and I just tried their bacon egg and cheese, which was also good. Arguably the best bagels I've had. read more

Order a bacon egg and cheese this morning to pick up. As I grab my order and take it home I open it to a bagel with a slice of cheese and bacon on it. How do you forget to put egg? Wasted $8 to get a bagel with cheese and bacon. Also ordered a bagel with cream cheese and it is little just a bit of cream cheese in half of the bagel. read more

WOW. At first sight it is your average bagel shop but this is anything but that. Great variety of both bagels and creamcheese. I come here frequently on sunday mornings for the Brisket bagel and it never fails to save me from the Sunday morning scaries. The quality of the food here is 100% worth the slightly above average costs. They also have a small selection of creamcheeses to go, as well as other grocery packaged items. The staff is always friendly and provide a great experience for a rather busy place. read more

Ugh, what a disappointment. Came here for breakfast this morning and was instantly dismayed by both the (lack of) selection and the price. $2.99 for a bagel and cream cheese, and the varieties were unexciting. I was even more disappointed when I got home with my bagel, which was about half the size of my fist. My bf had clearly ordered pork roll, but at home discovered he'd been given bacon instead, on the wrong type of bagel, too. I'd rather get a fresher, less expensive bagel from the grocery store and slather it with cream cheese myself. read more

I think this is the only bagel joint on the main strip in Roxborough (and a five-minute drive from my house), so of course I am a fan. Manhattan Bagels does solid business and is always packed when I walk in. The ordering process is smooth and efficient for the most part--grab your drink, place your order with the staff, pay, and grab your coffee. They give you a number for pick-up and then you're on the way! Manhattan makes a mean breakfast sandwich--my favorite is sausage egg and cheese on an everything (and at ~$4, a price that can't be beat). Yes, my order has gotten placed on the wrong bagel before, but it was just a healthier version of the bagel I wanted in the first place, so I'm not complaining. read more

Manhattan bagel is a pretty solid chain. This one is no different. The inside is bigger than most and for a good reason, it was BUSY. Like, can't find a parking spot in the whole lot busy. My bagel with lox was perfect as always. The only real gripe I have about this place is that it took maybe 20 minutes to get two bagels. For real? I know you're busy but throw some cream chee on my bagel and get it over the counter. I was about to die of hunger. read more

The Avocado Egg white sandwich is really good. The only problems I've ever had with this place were on large orders for my workplace. As long as you keep the orders smallish, you'll have a great experience. read more

Horrible service. Didn't Answer the phone as I called for hours. I show up, and was greeted with a rude attitude, saying they are out of bagels and the grill was off. read more

I've been here 3-5 times now with my friend. I do not plan to go back... Unfortunately, I have never left happy or satisfied with any order. The only exception I can make is my friend's iced coffee he ordered once - that was pretty good. The food is overpriced and if you order meat it can get greasy / doesn't taste fresh. The one thing this place has going for it is that staff is friendly. I have not had any issues with , just the end product. read more

I love the bagels at Manhattan Bagel, they are always fresh and are the chewy New York style I prefer. Manhattan Bagel offers a good variety of bagel flavors. For something a little bit sweet try a chocolate chip, even more sweet try french toast. My other favorites are cheddar, honey wheat, and multi-grain. They all have enough flavor to eat plain. They also have quite a few sandwich options (on bagels or other bread) and plenty of flavored cream cheeses. I haven't ventured much past the old standby of a bagel with egg and cheese--they fix the eggs fresh on the grill so it takes a few minutes more than places that fix eggs in a microwave, but it is well worth the wait. Unfortunately, they do not offer pepper jack cheese but if you get the bagel on a toasted jalapeno cheddar bagel that's almost as good! The cinnamon buns look much better than they taste--the new bagel poppers are a better choice. Be warned, they are *bagel* poppers. Don't be confused by the resemblance to donut holes, these are chewy like the bagels. If you like a sweet bagel, the poppers may be your thing. My only complaint about this location is the TV is always on and almost always too loud for my taste. Otherwise, this might be a decent place to sit and hang out for a little while. During busy times of day parking can also be a challenge but the spots in the parking lot usually turn over quickly and its not too bad a walk from the grocery store parking lot. read more

This place is my second favorite bagel maker in the Philly area. (My first is PhilaBagel in Jenkintown but it is not always convenient to drive all the way there just to have a bagel). Manhattan Bagel is a chain (or franchise) and they are pretty consistant across their different locations. They make a proper (boiled) bagel and they offer a good variety of flavors from my favorite, the everything, to exotics like the asiago cheese bagel. I don't really believe that there is much of a health benefit but they also make a honey wheat everything. Oddly, the flagels (flat bagels) they offer do not seem to be boiled like their plumper cousins. They bake them fresh throughout the morning as the need arises so there is a decent chance that if you order one of the more popular flavors it will still be oven warm. Since my doctor keeps informing me that one of the worst things I can stuff info my maw is a bagel I try confine my visits to once every few weeks. When I do go I try to make my trip worth while by ordering a sandwich (I vary between the bacon egg and cheese (they grill the egg and do not use a microwave (a pet peeve of mine)), a lox spread with cucumbers or a whitefish salad with tomatoes. I also buy a 1/2 dozen to take home and freeze. The secret is to wait until they are not warm anymore and then immediately slice them and freeze them in a zip lock freezer bag. They toast up (or air thaw) wonderfully. I do not know this for a fact but I do not think they use preservatives and therefore (this part I do know) they do not keep for more than a day or so outside of the freezer. read more

Its ok I only come here when I am early for work. The service is always fast and the workers are polite. Although its one lady that always have an attitude. She has a black eye. I wonder did one of the customers gave that to her. Lol I know that was horrible but she is such a sarcastic witch. Never ventured out on the menu.I get the same thing everytime i go. Asiago bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese or light butter. read more

My review being 3 stars has nothing to do with the food, instead it's about hygiene. Or lack thereof. When you purchase your food you get a receipt which you must then hand to the guy before receiving your food. Sounds pretty simple right? Well you never know what someone touches and what they might do with that little slip of paper between the time they pay and then receive food. Our wait time was about 15 minutes on a crazy Sunday morning. The guy who makes your food is also the one who takes your slip and goes back to making your food. Everything that everyone has touched is on his hands and on people's food!! It is common food sanitation rules. Nasty.... read more
