The title of this post is "...but the coffee!" ********************************************* I have been to this Manhattan Bagel location many times. I've always stuck with a dozen bagles and sometimes their cream cheese. Always have been happy with the product. Today I got a egg, bacon & cheese. Very good. The coffee on the other hand is a whole other story. Got a cup of dark roast. Might easily quality as the worst cup of coffee I have ever tasted. I drink my coffee black. It is hard to describe what it tasted like. I threw it out after 2 sips. read more

My online order was ready exactly when the notification said it would be. The moment I walked in, the manager promptly directed an employee to assist me. I really appreciated their attention to detail - they even remembered my request for extra napkins and plastic knives! The employee was so friendly and located my order right away. To top it off, the manager took the time to double-check everything before I left. Truly outstanding service! Thank you! read more

Who knew Manhattan Bagel had a cheesesteak? Who knew it would NOT be on a bagel? Who knew it would come with potato salad and a pickle? Who knew it would be tasty? Due to circumstances beyond my control I ended up at Manhattan Bagel. I am glad I did. This was a tasty little cheesesteak. $6.99 and it came with a potato salad and a pickle. I wish there was more of everything. Except the pickle, that was a good size. Good overall experience. read more

See all

Bagels are stale. Staff unfriendly and generally irritated that you are there. Asked for bagels to be sliced and the guy snarled at me. Had to ask for a freezer bag, another miserable face. Needed plastic knives because our plan was a bagel picnic and again, irritated. And now I'm annoyed that here we are with bagels that nobody can even chew. Awful place and not the owner I remember who loved his customers. read more

Simple and good. And Local!! Team behind the counter was so polite and helpful! Bagels were great and impressed my New York friends!

Stopped here for the first time while driving down 202. First mistake was not reading recent reviews. The place is small- barely any space to stand around. The bagel sandwiches we ordered were stale, old and burnt. The hash browns were not crispy- just soggy. Overall I was very unpleased, especially for the price of the items. read more

The best Manhattan Bagel ever! Such nice people and such a great product. Always consistently good. The owner obviously takes pride in the business and it shows. Highly recommend read more

Great food and it's always fresh! Works through long lines quickly and has a friendly staff.

I called to place an order, and the guy who answered didn't even say hello, just "yeah". As I placed the order he seemed so agitated I was calling. After finally finishing the order he just goes "okay". Doesnt give me a total, order time, or ask if I needed anything else. He just sits on the line. I will never order from here again. Get new staff read more

This Manhattan Bagel is in a small strip mall along US-202 northbound and may be easy to miss if you're not looking for it. Parking does not seem adequate but there is a small lot at the north end of the strip mall. The menu looks similar to Einstein Brothers, which is not a surprise because the two chains have the same parent company. Prices are similar to Einstein Bros too, i.e. a bit on the upscale side. However, they do sometimes have email coupons. The biggest downside to this location is it's small and cramped. Everyone keeps getting in each other's way and it's hard to get a table during the breakfast rush. This doesn't seem as much of a problem at Einstein Bros. read more

Manhattan Bagel - Egg-strami on everything bagel. - Bagels Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Best bagels/breakfast sandwiches around! Very friendly service. And they deliver now!

Came here on a Saturday morning and decided to eat my bagel inside. There was a steady flow of people coming and going who seemed to be regulars. I ordered an everything bagel toasted with butter and a coffee. The bagel came pretty quickly despite it being busy. They loaded butter on it which I LOVED. If you don't want a ton of butter then you should specify but I was happy with it. The coffees are self serve and they had 7 different blends all of which were being maintained by an employee. Coffee was hot and tasty. They offered a good amount of spreads for the bagels and a lot of fresh options of bagel types. The inside of the restaurant was clean. Lastly, prices were reasonable which is very important to me. This is a great option for bagels if you're in the area!! read more

This is the only place in Delaware, north of the canal, to get a good bagel. Breakfast sandwich is quality - grill is right there...everything is fresh, and real. My teen aged daughter likes to go to another "chain" bagel shop a few miles away. Not sure why because they use a microwave to reheat the eggs for sandwiches. This place does it the right way. read more

The bagel sandwich was pretty good, but the service was abysmal. The guy who waited on me acted like I was annoying him by being his customer. He didn't say hi, thank you or anything. Just grumpily took my order without saying anything. If you expect people you're paying to show even the slightest courtesy, you won't find that here. read more

Eh .... Not impressed. I was anticipating more. The bagels were good, and there was a wide variety of flavors so that's a big plus. Service was friendly enough and fast. I ordered jalapeño everything bagel with veggie CC and added lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. They were happy to accommodate but not without extra charge. I get it, extra stuff means extra $$. No prob. But heres where's it's whack, jack .... There was a weak Amount of CC on it. I don't need a lot necessarily but you shouldn't be dissembling a bagel to find it. Further, I had exactly one piece of lettuce, one slice of tomato, and 2 slices of cucumber (one on each half after it was cut) on this thing. That is just cheap. I paid for the veggies so cmon. Plus the tomato was nearly translucent. Overall I had a mediocre breakfast and probably won't bother going back. Meh. read more

Very similar to Einstein Bros Bagels, and as fellow reviewer Morton F mentioned they have an interesting history together (thanks for leading me down the Wikipedia rabbit hole Morton). Met my basic expectations for a bagel chain, but not much more. Personally I would've preferred Einstein Bros. My group split a variety of bagels. We had a jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, an egg and cheese on an jalapeño everything bagel and a spinach bagel with lox. The bagels themselves were unimpressive, the jalapeño bagel was tough and the spinach bagel did not come close to the same from from EB. The lox cream cheese also had a fluffy, whipped quality that was somewhat off-putting. The egg and cheese was nice enough, but lacked the extra flavor to stand out and was ultimately forgettable. The highlight was the iced tea, which was particularly good. The other major positive was the staff. They were very friendly and helpful. Overall, nothing was horrible or bad but nothing was really that good either. I'd go back in a pinch but I'll be looking elsewhere for my regular bagel fix. read more

It's one of our favorite breakfast places. My boyfriend really loves our omelette wraps and I really like their breakfast sandwiches. But their specialty coffees are especially delicious. We go there more often then we probably should. read more

This is the closest you'll get to a deli in North Wilmington (which is kinda sad). Manhattan Bagel has a great selection of tasty bagels (from Jalapeno Cheddar to Honey Whole Wheat) and matching spreads. Their coffee choices should also be noted (always fresh). They usually have coupons floating around; keep an eye out for those. Staff is patient with my indecisive mother (who always has a frequent buyer card from 10+ years ago). read more

The bagels here are great. My favorite thing is definitely the turkey bacon and egg white bagel thin which is very filling and tasty for only 300 calories. The muffins and pastries are also delicious. The only issue I have with this place is it gets pretty crowded and it can be kind of slow--otherwise everything I have had is really good. read more

Was in the mood for a good bagel and a friend of mine suggested Manhattan Bagel. I was in high hopes when I saw how busy they were for a rainy Saturday morning. The girls working the counter just seemed to be there to do their job, not rude by any means but not friendly either. They have a nice menu with a variety of breakfast and lunch options. I got a jalapeno cheddar toasted with low fat cream cheese and a jalapeno everything to bring home. The cream cheese was gritty, not very appetizing. The flavor of the bagel itself was alright but for a place called Manhattan Bagel it did not seem like a New York bagel at all. It was the same texture of something you would get at other chains like Dunkin or Panera. Probably won't go out of my way to visit again but if I'm in the area I may give them another shot since they do have a variety of bagel flavors. read more

I'm giving 3 stars solely because the bagels here are decent, if not for that I'd probably give 1 star. Every time I go to this place I get charged a different price. Today I got two babels with extra cream cheese and was charged nearly $9... for two bagels.... last week when I got the same order it was around $5.50. I said something about it and the worker commented that prices went up and they're charging for extra cream cheese, which I understand but I wouldn't have to order extra cream cheese in the first place if they put a reasonable amount of cream cheese on their bagels to start. The first time going here I ordered a normal amount of cream cheese and it barely covered one side of the bagel, so now I order extra and now I pay extra for something that should be provided on a normal basis. This place is always busy, they clearly have a good customer base and are making money, no need to be super cheap with your cream cheese. The workers are always rather rude, never smiling or overly friendly and I notice certain workers will consistently charge me more every time I come. Overall the experience isn't a good one and it's ridiculous to pay $9 for two bagels. Like come on people. read more

Manhattan Bagel - When you pay $9 for two bagels because they charged you extra for extra cream cheese and your bagel still doesn't have extra cream cheese. - Bagels Near Me - Wilmington, Delaware

Very good everything bagel with pork roll/taylor ham, egg, and cheese. The bagel could have had more salty-garlicky-everything goodness, but overall this was great. The coffee was likewise very good. RVA needs more proper Bagel joints like this. I further love that they boil & bake on the premises, (very fresh), and they open at 5:30 AM for us early risers. read more

The bagels are mediocre and the coffee is terrible. I'm from NYC so I know what good bagels taste like. Also, your hair and clothes smell like the store for the entire day. I'm giving them a negative review because of poor customer service (although the younger cashiers are usually nicer than the older cashiers). I went in recently and the older woman cashier denied my "happy e-club anniversary" free bagel and cream cheese. She said the promo wasn't valid at their store. The email specifically stated Manhattan Bagel, and this location is the only Manhattan Bagel I've been to. She made me wait to the side and dealt with other customers. Eventually, the older male cashier came and let me get my free bagel and cream cheese, but after the two cashiers complained about me in their language and rolled their eyes. I reward customer service so I will not return to this location. read more

I'm from Manhattan. I've been fortunate to have had some good bagels. This place isn't even close. These were so disappointing I didn't even eat it. I didn't want to waste the calories. The texture was hard. Not in a good dense bread way either. Flat on flavors. We didn't eat anything else there, so I can't comment on their food. But after we bought 2 dozen for a big family get together breakfast, I didn't even want to eat a half. So, I felt compelled to write this review. I don't usually like make negative comments. But, I would have liked the heads up myself. read more

Haven't been on since they opened this location. My first impression was awful. No one knew what they were doing, and asking for a simple iced coffee took close to 20 mins to make. Not to mentioned they made it wrong. read more

Here all the time for breakfast & lunch. Quick service & very friendly people. Havent had a bad experience yet & service is consistent. Tried most of the menu everything is great read more

I ordered bagels and coffee here for a work event. They were right on time, even when picking up at 545am. The coffee is great here and there are a lot of options. I am going to stop here more often on my way to work. read more

We have been eating here for years. Along with Einstein bagel it is the only decent bagel place in North Wilmington or maybe even DE. It's not that same as a NYC bagel but close enough. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Egg bagel sandwiches are made to order and fresh. Good menu variety. Decent Pastrami sandwich which is rare in DE. Thanks for being in DE, Manhattan bagel. It's a Jewish food desert here. read more

The best bagels around! Coming from North Jersey I am picky about my bagels and this place reminds me of home! Their jalapeño cheddar bagel is my favorite. I've gone in there many times and they're always busy which is a great sign. I would give them 5 stars if they had a little bit more room to dine in that's the only down side to this place is there isn't much seating. The other day I went in with my toddler who was getting pretty antsy waiting for our food. The owner saw us and quickly came over and gave her a free brownie! As a mom I always appreciate when someone can see past a screaming child and instead of getting annoyed at us he was kind. It was a really nice gesture and I will continue to go here! read more

So excited 2 years in a row I've been up here and they've been open on Christmas Day. Bagels are so fresh and they have gluten free bagels! My mom was bummed they were out of sesame bagels then after we ordered he came from the back with one which was incredibly thoughtful. Staff is fast and extremely friendly. read more

I like this bagel store compared to dunkin or other fast food chains. Reason: Fresh bagels, customize your order, other breads besides bagels. Owner and staff are very friendly and customer centric. read more

The bagels were delicious. The service is little bit slow but seeing how busy they were it is understandable. A variety of bagels are offered and cream cheese selection looks good as well. Little bit pricey but still lot cheaper and better bagels than Panera and Dunkin Donuts. read more
