I heard this was rated as one of the best sandwiches in the states. I feel like that's a really big stretch. It's good but not close to my top sandwiches. We got one they recommended that had hash, cream cheese and lettuce. The ingredients were pretty good and went together well. Like most bagel sandwhiches, some insides get pushed out the back after the first few bites. The bagel is a little lighter than the ones you will get in new York and a little less chewey I think I prefer the latter. That all being said, it's still pretty good and the staff is friendly and quick. The atmosphere is nice but not super big so most the seats were taken when we were there. Overall a good place. read more

This is a particularly popular spot w a solid reputation. I stopped by today for the first time because of the perception that they often sell out. Philly has a lame bagel game but I would say that these are the best in Philly. They are for sure not NYC and should not be compared as such. They are excellent for the style bagel that they are. I got mine toasted w veggie cream cheese- make sure to ask as toasted is not default. The bagel was light and the outside crunchy. The cream cheese had real veggie chunks. Staff was friendly and fast. The inside of the store is nothing special but it's clean and there's some indoor seating. read more

Went this AM, Monday. Service was great. Staff was kind and professional. Ambience is clean and minimalist in a clean and well lit space. Ordered a poppy bagel with lox and plain cream cheese. Lox and cream cheese were very good. Bagel itself tasted stale or day old at least. Also, was not a hot water bagel. Bagel was baked only. So close to perfect. Not to be too picky but the set up was perfect and the execution was a small let down. I'll try again on a Friday or Saturday. read more

Every day we passed by this shop, I smelled bacon and had to try one of the bagels with it! Great service, the guys were personable and helpful! I picked the everything bagel with egg, bacon, and cheddar cheese - OMGoodness! So delicious! We took it back to the apartment but the area inside was nice with high top stools at counters. Go get a bagel (with bacon)! read more

I'd suggest ordering online so you don't have to wait. The wait is too long, the breakfast rush hour should have been over with. We swung by around 11:15am on a Saturday and they only had blueberry and everything bagels left. For a bagel shop that's been open for awhile, they should be able to forecast how many bagels need to be made for a Saturday. The bagel itself, very small. The bagels are also dense and hard. I recognize we came later in the morning but as a bagel spot, the bagels should be fresh and soft throughout the whole time the shop is open. Lox #2 - generous with toppings, the dill was fresh and ample. The slice of radish was thick and added a nice crunch. Bagel itself, once again, hard pass. Pizza bagel- tomato sauce with melted cheese on top. I thought this bagel would be more creative. Maybe a slice off fresh mozzarella in between cream cheese with a pesto spread??? Coffee- there are 25 other coffee shops walking distance that are much better! $27 for two bagels and a coffee, not worth it. read more

Completed an online order and paid online. My order was ready not to long afterwards. The staff member greeted me with a smile and a friendly good morning. I ordered a bagel with the fresh peach jam and it was really tasty and good. I also had a half of the white fish sandwich on a plain bagel. That was really tasty, I've never had this type of sandwich before. Price is a bit pricy, a bacon egg and cheese sandwich on a bagel was $8 read more

I think this place only got such high reviews because it is the only bagel spot in the area. Growing up in NJ, I guess I just have higher standards for bagels and customer service. I ordered a bagel with smoked salmon cream cheese, which I assumed would only take a couple minutes to slab some cream cheese on a bagel. But I ended up standing outside and waiting for close to 30 minutes. Bagels are small and the cream cheese was "smoked salmon flavored." It did not have any actual pieces of lox which was so disappointing for the price. I'd definitely recommend ordering online for pickup to avoid the long wait. read more

Got two bagels after a few days of trying to get through on the phone line. I'm not sure if they run out of bagels early without telling their customers, but I was sitting outside and tried ordered, didn't get through (as if someone was ordering something), and no one came up for the 30 mins I was there to pick up. Kind of odd, perhaps a lapse in communication, or a scheduled break? I've seen a lot of businesses like that post to Instagram when they are out of product or taking a break, but no indication from this business when I noticed that had happened. Anyways, when I was able to order it, it got the BOA and the lox and cream cheese (with jalapeno cream cheese). For the price, wasn't really impressed with the bacon bagel (only a few pieces of bacon) and the lox bagel was like, wayyy smaller (in diameter) than the other bagel. It was more of a ball than a bagel shape, for sure, so that was confusing. Expected more consistency for the wait and price. read more

Not happy at all with the service or food. One employee was nice but didn't want to package my bagels in 2 bags. I asked because of allergies. The other was condescending. The bagels and sandwiches were overpriced and small. The bagels were ok but not much different from ones at supermarket. Very disappointed read more

I stopped by with some friends on a beautiful Saturday morning. The front door was locked but they were taking orders from their take out window. I ordered a classic lox sandwich on a toasted everything. The bagel had a nice crust with a chewy inside. They were a little smaller than I expected. Don't forget to ask to get it toasted if you're into that. There was ample scrumptious lox, red onions and cucumbers. Would definitely stop by if you're in the area. Order online ahead of time to skip the line; I did have to wait a little for my sandwich read more

Consistent good bagels and nice staff. So glad it is in the neighborhood! I understand why they always sell out!

Bagel is decent but bruh who doesnt TOAST A BAGEL when they serve it with cream cheese or like ask if you want it toasted? And for like 5$ for a bagel with cream cheese too read more

I just want them to be able to toast a bagel. Seriously why is this business so against toasting a bagel. When ordering you have to specify that the bagel needs to be toasted. I strongly believe this should be the default but okay it is not so with each order you have to explicitly mark your order as to be toasted. I can live with that except they still won't toast your bagel. The last 3 times I've ordered here it was not toasted despite it being on the order and when requesting them to resolve it you would think I asked them to put pineapple on my pizza. Even after asking them to fix your order it will be so lightly toasted it might as well not be at all. It's unfortunate because I live close by but now I will walk further to get what I want instead of going back to this business. read more

Really great fresh bagels! They never disappoint. Can get a little crowded especially on weekends so I recommend ordering ahead when possible! read more

Ordered a bacon, egg and cheese on a za'atar bagel. Bagel did not have that nice gloss that you're looking for on a bagel and it was quite doughy. Service was friendly. Music was intensely loud for 9 AM. read more

Philly Style Bagels is a take out-only place. Retail space is small, no chairs, no space to linger for too long. Line forms quickly. The ovens are at the front of the establishment so you'll see your bagels being baked fresh. That being said, it is HOT! They have a small portable AC, but definitely cannot overpower their ovens! So you should want to get out of that heat anyway. I was disappointed that they don't have egg breakfast sandwiches.. most items are vegan...they have bacon, but that may be vegan bacon too? Not 100% sure. Cashier is great, friendly, good conversation, etc. Was worried about a minimum for credit card, but that's not a problem here! No minimum! I ordered a wheat bagel and regular cream cheese (boring, I know!). It was very round, small, and overly stuffed with cream cheese (I see this as a pro/con, but just wipe it if it's too much for you!). Flavor was as expected, texture was very crisp. Price is reasonable. Good choice for a quick morning bite. read more

I don't understand why it's hard for Philly to have a good bagel game compared to NYC. Everyplace has a caveat here for bagels. I tried their bagels on a weekend. By 11AM they sold out of every flavor except two...which is disappointing again. I don't understand why shops don't extend their hours past noon or have enough supply. I tried their Zahar bagel which basically is a plain bagel with spice mix on top. The bagel itself was decent. The size is comparable honestly to a mini bagel and it costs 2.50 just for bagel itself. Disappointing overall. Search continues for best bagels in Philly read more

The bagel is relatively small. The outside is crusty, you can hear the crunch when you bite it. It's a chewy kind of bagel. I had cinnamon raisin and it has a lot of raisin. It's really good. They are generous with the toppings. The poppyseed is really covered with it and so is the everything kind. read more

Nice service and sandwich First, the service. I see a lot of complaints about the wait times and service. I called around 10am on a cool and sunny Sunday. I would expect this to be a high-volume time, and it seemed like it was, given the number of orders going out. More importantly, the two employees I interacted with were engaged, energized and quick. Couldn't have asked for better interactions! To the food. I ordered the BOA on garlic. Flavor was great, especially the spice of the mayo! The bagels are smaller than most bagels and mine unfortunately was not fresh. While surprised by the size at first glance, I ultimately did not mind it, because I finished the sandwich without being overly full. The freshness I did mind. I enjoyed my sandwich, but I expect a good bagel at a bagel shop. Overall, I recommend, and I plan to give this place another go! read more

We ordered around 11am, got a plain and cinnamon raisin bagel, they were not that fresh. Disappointing, really, given the prices

Currently you can only order online and pick up at the window. Their ordering system was easy and our order was ready in less than 20 mins for 2 bagel sandwiches. Parking can be sparse as it is in a residential neighborhood. Less touristy and more of a local spot. The bagels: -everything bagel was perfectly seasoned. -slightly chewy and not too thick (personally the way I like bagels) -cheese was melted, bacon, was crispy, eggs kept their form. Overall, Philly style bagels delivered exactly what I was looking for in a breakfast bagel sandwich. read more

My favorite breakfast has always and will always be a bagel with whitefish. These days whitefish spread is hard to come by. When my cousin who lives in Philly told me about Philly Style Bagels, we made plans to go immediately. We showed up here on a cold sunny Sunday morning. Line was out the door but that didn't deter us because we kept getting whiffs of the warm fresh bagel aroma from the outside. The menu and its options were of plenty but all simply bagel-related. We walked out with a bakers dozen, whitefish spread and scallion cream cheese. Our mouth watered all the way home. read more

Don't pass up this OG bagel spot in the heart of Fishtown. Despite all the other bagel and coffee spots that have popped up nearby and the ones nearby that draw long lines of people, this is worth keeping in the rotation of go-to bagel spots. I believe they still serve La Colombe coffee so head hear if you're looking for iced or hot coffee with your bagel. They have a good variety of breakfast and lunch sandwiches on bagels or, for the traditionalists, a variety of cream cheeses to accompany the many bagel flavors they produce. Cinnamon raisin, salt, and everything are my favorites. These aren't the traditional doughy bagels - they make them fresh each day and they are best eaten fresh. But that's what I like about them - you don't feel completely bloated after eating them. Order ahead on weekend openings and pick up 10-15 minutes later - then enjoy on a blanket or bench in Palmer Park! read more

Awesome place. I'm not Vegan but the Vegan cream cheeses are awesome. So why not five stars you say? Because you can't get a bagel here on a nice day. It's absolutely insane. The line is out the door and down the block. They need to increase the capacity. The business is there. Often I'll try there first but end up going somewhere else. You have to get up early to be aa serious contender. This may cause me to start a weekend bagel delivery service. I get up early wait in line To buy all their bagels. Then I drive around Fishtown proper delivering them. read more

We came here twice during our 4 day vacation here because we really wanted to like this place. The shop is small, but cozy. There's only standing room, so don't expect to eat in. There's an open kitchen concept, so you can really feel the warmth of the oven once you step inside. This place is super efficient, working like an assembly line with 1 person at each station: taking orders, kneading and shaping the bagels, dropping bagels into the baking soda bath, putting them in the oven & spicing them, assembling the sandwiches. They have a good variety of bagels and spreads, as well as sandwich options. The thing that we didn't really enjoy was the fact that they don't have toasters, so your bagel/sandwich won't necessarily be warm when you eat it. We got the everything bagel both times we went, and each time, the first time the bagel was too chewy, and the second time it was pretty hard. Not sure if they were overnight or what, but the texture really took away from the flavor, which sucks because the flavors were good, and we love the concept of this place! We may come back on another visit if there's time, but it won't go on our must hit list. read more

I was in line at around 9am on a Friday morning. It was hot in the store because of all the fresh bagels being baked in the huge ovens. I think it was around $2 a bagel and it was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was a solid bagel and so delicious fresh out of the oven. read more

Bagels, but make'm Philly. Not sure what makes these bagels "Philly" other than they're slightly more spherical, thus slightly smaller than a NY Bagel. They're made fresh! Before your eyes! And they're extra chewy. The flavors are THERE - the everything, the garlic, the sesame - if you want plain, order plain, or prepare your taste buds. The selection of spreads and toppings is amazing, and the ordering and preparation is quick and efficient. This is a grab-n-go type of establishment. There are no tables, no chairs - standing room only. You're steps from the park if you choose to visit on a nice day. They have Elixir Coffee, which pairs nicely with your schmear of choice. I ordered Sesame with Jalapeno cream cheese and an Everything BLT with Avacado - both delicious. I was a very big fan of the Jalapeno cream cheese. It was creamy and fresh with the perfect amount of heat. Price point is good, service is good, flavor is good. All good, man. Just be sure to check your teeth for those poppy seeds when you're done. read more

Been coming here for years! Staff is always super sweet and makes my sandwiches bomb dot com.

Not worth the trip to Fishtown. When it comes to bagels, texture is everything, and texture is where these bagels were a big letdown. I like a bagel with a little chew to it. These were too bready. I found myself eating them up just to get rid of them, not because I was craving them. On the positive side, the bagels looked delicious. They were aesthetically pleasing. Whatever they do to make the toppings adhere to the bagel is good too. The toppings actually stay on. On the negative, everything must be ordered online. Some of us just like to walk up, order a dozen bagels and get on with life. Places like this that cater to the hipster crowd assume everyone carries their smart phone around with them and wants to bother using their credit card online to purchase something as insignificant as a dozen bagels. When I aired this complaint to the young woman there, she gave me a snarky reply. This shaved a star off my review.If the bagels had been worth it, it wouldn't have mattered. Too many better options for bagels in town. read more

Not too exciting and very pricey. I expected more and was disappointed. I ordered two bagels with cream cheese and four bagels to go and a coffee and somehow spent $18. I took my granddaughter to the park to eat it and it was just ok. read more

So this place is definitely a spot to just pick your bagel up and go. There is a park right by it, so you can eat it there if the weather is nice. I ordered the traditional lox with scallion cream cheese on an everything bagel. First off, the bagel was pricey. It was $10, which I think is a little ridiculous for a bagel, there wasn't a huge amount of smoked salmon, so I'm just not sure what I'm paying for. I think $7-8 would've felt more reasonable. The bagel was very tasty and everything in it was perfect. The bagel itself was a little too hard for my liking. They definitely did not put out the fresh bagels. So the docked star is due to the hard bagel and the price. I do think that had the bagel been soft and warm I would've been enjoying it so much that I wouldn't have given the price a second thought. I'll definitely give them another try. I'm just going to tell them I would like a soft/fresh bagel if possible lol. read more

I've never experienced worse customer service. They messed up our order and then instead of saying sorry and fixing it they wanted to argue. And when I say they, I mean the entire shop got so out of hand. The cook came over and escalated everything after I walked away to wait for them to fix their mistake. Part of the mistake with our food also resulted in them overcharging and they didn't offer to refund until I mentioned that they billed us for their mistake. The saddest part was that the food turned out to not even taste good. It was so salty. But maybe they messed with it. When we looked them up on Google they had a lot of good reviews but here on yelp 3.5 is still a stretch. The Google review of 4.5 can't possibly be real. read more

There was a only one half of a piece of pork roll on my pork roll egg and cheese. I'm addition to that, they forgot to add the rest of our order to the bag so when it was delivered we were SOL. I can't believe I paid for this sandwich to have meat in it and they thought that would suffice. Very disappointed. read more

I've gone to Philly style bagels twice and both times were horrible. The first time, I ordered two sesame bagels with cream cheese. I thought it was a standard for bagels when you order for them with cream cheese to come toasted..... unless you directly specify you don't want it toasted why wouldn't you toast it? Or at least ASK hey do you want that toasted? Well, today we made sure to specifically order toasted bagels. 3 of them All of three of our bagels were literally not toasted ?? Or were SO LIGHTLY toasted that they literally were too difficult to even chew. Super bready and chewy. I didn't know it was "Philly style" to not toast bagels.... That's not a style I'm interested in. So again, $30 something on bagels that won't be eaten. Wont be back! Sorry! If you want to get a toasted bagel from this place, I would recommend asking for extra toasted maybe Would include pictures of the other two bagels, but we gave them out to homeless people on the way home. read more

This bagel spot is average. Definitely in the right area and appeals to its customer base, however, there is no indoor seating nor bathroom accessible to their customers as it is a window service operation. Or at least it was the morning I went. Customer service was pleasant. As previous yelpers have mentioned, coffee could be better and they have no espresso machine. There are definitely better coffee spots in the local area. The bagel itself was decent pretty on par for Philly area bagel. It is situated right next to a Park, which makes it easy to sit down and eat before getting on with your day. read more
