Grabbed some bagels & coffee from the truck prior to Super Bowl Parade. Good bagel, good coffee, great service even with that crowd.​

Ordered a blueberry bagel with cream cheese mixed with fresh bananas and walnuts which was super super good! I like how you can pick any toppings to mix into the bagel filling which is really nice. The bagel itself was a little dense but it tasted really good all together. read more

First time trying Schmear It and it was a success. I opted for the Veggie Delight on a toasted Onion bagel as my first try keeping it simple (by the time I got there 1pm... they only had 3-4 options of bagels left so make sure you get there early) I'll for sure be back to try the Sweeter ones -- they have some really unique options and spreads such as Nutella and French Toast that I have not seen elsewhere be sure to check out their menu. The service and staff were wonderful. They made the effort to ask you how your day is going with bright smile on their face even in the morning. Beats the other bagel places in University City!! **** make sure to check their instagram before heading there that's where the post where the truck is located. i made the mistake by not checking and went to a location that they were using from weeks prior *** read more

Not quite sure why you dummies are withholding stars for this place. Get any kind of bagel you want and have it schmeared with an overly generous portion of your favorite filling for as little as 4 bucks. My favorite is the flaming islander - mango, cream cheese and sriracha. I was skeptical just like you prolly are right now but it's got the right amount of heat and decent mango bits in there. The banana and nutella one rounds out the top 2, especially if you're like me and you like sweets just as much as you did when you were a little baby biatch. Service is very friendly. Get 6 or something and get one for free. read more

Yum! Love that they're expanding with a pop up shop closer to me, though the original truck is the best! Not only are the bagels delicious (my favorite is the sesame!), the cream cheese unique and equally as delicious (SO many options for mix-ins), but the people are what make this spot 5 stars. Over the summer, when they were trying new cream cheese concoctions, they had a whole tray of bagels and their new cream cheeses ready for my office to try. Not only that, but routine service is always pleasant. I also LOVE their social good model - always featuring/supporting a cause in the area. I work with a lot of volunteers in my position, and Schmear It really came through in donating for us to reward them! Love Schmear It! read more

A little pricey for bagels, but there are those days that I just cannot resist dropping by this truck parked on Penn campus! I am a big fan of their lox bagel and veggie delight - flavored cream cheese for the win! I love that everything is mixed in together so you can get all the flavors at once (and it's a little easier to eat). Oh and they have whole wheat everything bagels! I also see that they have started serving cold brew, which I must try sometime. They also take credit cards, which is such a plus if you never carry cash (because all your cash is spent on cash-only food trucks) like me. If you are carb conscious, they will scoop out the insides for you. I always think to do this, but haven't been able to get myself to ask for them scooped out because I have this love and hate (mostly love, which is the problem) relationship with carbs. Make sure to check their twitter for updates on where they'll be every day! read more

I've had better bagels, but I've also had much worse. They make up for it with the crazy fillings. I love the flaming islander on a sesame seed bagel: plain cream cheese with mango and sriracha. read more

Schmear It - The flaming islander. Definitely tastes better than it looks. Cream cheese with mango and sriracha - Food Trucks Near Me

Oh Schmear It, how I love thee! Substantial flavorful bagels with perfectly hand mixed eclectic schmears. Thus far I have had the privilege of enjoying a French Toast bagel with the French Toast spread (sans bananas, sub mango) and a special of the day (Nutella, raspberry jam, strawberries, something crunchy) on a chocolate chip bagel. Call me crazy, but I love customized spreads! They take this perfect bagel in whatever flavor you choose (toasted or plain) and then slather it in a hearty portion of "hell yeah!" So yes, it's cold as the dickens outside, but every Friday you'll find me mouth breathing and shivering for a chance to put this sweet mother of God into my oral canal. *iced coffee with brown sugar cream is also highly recommended. **check their Twitter before heading over to confirm that nothing has delayed their arrival at LOVE Park. read more

Four stars for service and for the concept! 3 stars for the bagel itself. It was a little small (I thought) and a tad stale; I never order it toasted so that I can evaluate the freshness. The everything bagel had a nice balance of seasonings but I wish there had been MORE of everything overall! I like my everything bagel to be totally saturated in flavors. I got the everything with chopped lox and tomatoes for $6. It was enjoyable but I have had better. I realized through this experience that while the "mix-in" idea is novel, I do prefer to have the ingredients separate with large slices of tomatoes and fish. To each her own! Having said all of that, the guys that work here are an absolute delight. I would come again! read more

Schmear It - Everything with chopped lox and tomato - Food Trucks Near Me

The Loxsmith was solid though there was not that much lox in it. Got mine with whitefish salad, which was tasty. (I imagine a regular loxsmith would not have been as good, though I haven't tried it.) Bagel was chewy. read more

I don't think these bagels themselves are anything special, and there are plenty of places that have chewier bagels with more personality. So for me, the bagels clock in at around 3 or 3.5 stars. I don't even think the customization factor has much novel factor for me, except that it's cool they have fruits that you can add in like bananas and walnuts. I bumped this up to a 4-star I've always had a great experience coming here! The guy in the truck usually likes to talk to students who come up even for just a few seconds and is always upbeat and full of extroversion. Also the red paint job is cute and makes me happy. read more

This is exactly what I've been looking for in Philly! A tasty bagel and some good coffee is all you really need in the morning. Owner / Manager Dave Fine hits the nail square on the head with fresh NY style bagels and delicious La Colombe coffee. His social projects just add to the delight of a nice morning snack! I've only been once but I figured I'd get my feet wet with your basic plain bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel was fresh and the cream cheese was unique with fresh chopped: tomatoes, cucumbers, scallions and carrots. Everything is Sooooo FRESH!!! It's no wonder this food truck is [cue music] West Philadelphia born and raised (Penn Center, Logan Square, and Avenue of the Arts North is where it spends most of its days) :P Next up I'm going to get a little adventurous and try a more custom bagel. Maybe a peanut butter schmear with bananas and blueberries on a whole wheat bagel (you can see I've given this some serious thought). While I was waiting in line I saw that Schmear it does offer some recommendations. One of my favorites is the Stuffed French Toast Bagel which features: cream cheese, strawberries, blueberries, walnuts, cinnamon, and maple syrup (on a french toast bagel). One of the more unique recommendations is the Philly Roll which features: cream cheese, chopped lox, cucumbers, wasabi, and a splash of soy sauce. Who knew bagels could be so exciting! The La Colombe coffee just speaks for itself. Love how you can go in the morning and get hot La Colombe coffee then pick up a bottle of their iced coffee for later. I really like what you're doing Schmear It! When I was there you guys were featuring Monster Milers (a running organization that links Philly runners with dogs seeking adoption). Not only did my bagel make my morning it also provided a little support to a wonderful organization. As a runner / dog lover I really appreciate how you're spreading awareness for such great causes. Thanks again! read more

Love love love For one, when I tell people about it, the first fabulous thing is their name, everyone loves it. Two, vegan cream cheese. Three, their cream cheese style -- you choose what you want blended in, and then they make the schmear right then und there. The choices! I usually go with cucumber on everything, but I'm tempted to find out if the pretzel bagel I see every so often is vegan and do a PB+pretzel bagel combo ... Four, excellent people. They're so nice, and when I was totally baffled by their schmear making system, they explained it. And there's a punch card for frequent bagelees. I hope they keep coming to Love Park, and I'll keep trying to recruit herds from work to visit! read more

Oh hell yes! How fun and delicious! Pick your bagel, pick your spread, pick your mix ins. Vegan options! Woo hoo. So fresh and so crisp. So yummy!! My kiddos would love to create their own with those yummy fruit and chocolate chip options. These guys were the nicest ever! A perfect experience all around! They are opening a brick and Mortar store in West Philly real soon and I know we will be visiting often. YUM! read more

Schmear It - In vegan heaven. - Food Trucks Near Me

I would not be surprised if a Penn student asked the owner if they could have bagels that are scooped out. Ya know?? Anyway, one scooped out bagel with lox, cream cheese and scallions later... i'm in love. And 200 calories less fat or whatever. Owner is sweet, people working there are engaging and they have a loyalty card! Mon-Weds they're at Penn's campus on 38th and Locust. They're also there Friday but not till 10:30am. read more

I forgot to bring breakfast to work with me last Friday, so I was very happy to see the Schmear It truck parked outside of Love Park. I wasn't familiar with their offerings, so I ordered a regular old sesame bagel with plain cream cheese... and I wish I hadn't! Not that it wasn't delicious (it was), but after reading all of the Yelp reviews and getting to explore their menu more, I am already anxiously anticipating the next time I see that truck so I can get creative! Service is so friendly (they must be morning people) and prices are very reasonable. They also have coffee. I'll be back! read more

I will be stalking the SchmearIt truck via their twitter after trying them for a day-off late breakfast at Farm Fest at The Oval last week. I had a plain bagel toasted with jalapeno+scallions mixed into the cream cheese. One of the best bagels I've had in a while. The consistency of the cream cheese and possibly the not-blazing temperature of the bagel when they added it all together made it much less messy than most other places. The filling stayed in the middle rather than melting and squeezing out everywhere, therefore the extra napkins I requested unfortunately went to a landfill unblemished. read more

What a big letdown. The everything bagel was just an average bagel. It was a bit hard, not warm and soft chewy, like bagels at other places I've had. Scallion cream cheese was okay, nothing special. There was quite a lot of cream cheese on the bagel; I was never crazy about cream cheese. read more

Had my first Schmear It experience this morning when my non-profit catered from them. We ordered a ton of bagels and two signature spreads. The bagels were: french toast, blueberry, cinnamon raison, plain, whole wheat, and sesame bagels. Spreads were plain cream cheese, stuffed french toast (cream cheese, strawberries, bananas, walnuts, cinnamon, and maple syrup), and Loxsmith (cream cheese, chopped lox, scallions, tomatoes, and cucumbers). I tried the french toast bagel with french toast spread and a gluten free bagel with both spreads (thought incorrectly that I was celiacs so they ordered me a special one). The regular bagels were okay, kind of dense which I didn't love. The french toast spread is awesome if you like slightly sweet breakfasts (which I do). I didn't actually love the loxsmith, but that might just be a matter of preference. The gluten free bagel (which they have!) is smaller than their regular size (it's maybe half the size), and even denser than their regular bagels. It doesn't have too much flavor but it's a good base and I actually sort of liked it. If I go back I might get the gluten free bagel again actually. But if you are celiac or just don't like to eat gluten, this is an option! Also since they have non dairy spreads you can come if you're vegan/lactose intolerant as well. read more

I love Schmear It! Affordable and delicious! I love the egg bagel and my favorite egg sandwich is the GoldiLox. I also love all the Sweet schmears. If you are looking for an easy breakfast that doesn't feel too heavy, I recommend this place! I used to go almost every week last summer on the weekend! read more

Love Park was taunting me on my FB feed with their posts about breakfast with Schmear It. Luckily, one morning I had a conference at city hall, so I was able to stop by on my way back to the office. There were 3 guys in the truck and they were super friendly. I asked for a recommendation, savory, but no lox, and I said I was eyeing the Flaming Islander. They said that was a good choice, on a sesame bagel. Sesame is my favorite so I was sold. The blend of the cream cheese, sriracha, and mango was really different and tasty. There was slightly too much cream cheese and the bagel wasn't quite as toasted as I would have liked, but otherwise it was great and I'll be back. read more

I am definitely looking forward to Friday mornings now. I had the Loxsmith on a whole wheat everything bagel (my favorite) and couldn't be happier. I'm a bagel snob, and they hit the mark! read more

After sampling so-called bagels outside of New York City, I was ready to be disappointed with Schmear It's version. But their toasted sesame seed bagel was actually not bad. I had it as part of the $7 loxsmith sandwhich. The sandwich came with a generous heaping of cream cheese whipped with veggies and smoked salmon. The filling was fresh, tasty, and well-textured with a good amount of veggies (scallions, tomatoes, and maybe cucumbers). The lox quotient, however, was disappointingly low. If they sold containers of the veggie cream cheese, they might be worth buying. They have a wide selection of reasonably priced and tasty-sounding dessert-y bagel options. If that's your thing (it's not mine), it seems well worth trying. Service was very friendly, competent, and fairly fast. read more

Thanks for stopping by the Venturef0rth lot today Schmear It! I was looking forward to your visit and the bagel did not disappoint. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars and not 5 - I've had a better bagel sandwich in Philly, and I work very hard to rate trucks just like I would restaurants or brick and mortar locations. Why? Because the prices are the same if not higher (slightly more for this truck than at a deli/bagel shop) and it seems fair to me. I'm looking forward to trying more interesting choices - I got whitefish salad, cream cheese & lox ($7.50) - and must say the French Toast option looks delish. read more

When I started working in the city last November, I was overwhelmed by the food truck culture I had been missing while working in the 'burbs. I believe Schmear It was the first food truck I ever dined at. Now, let it be known. I am from North Jersey, where we accurately believe we have the best bagels in the world. Because we do. I'm so adamant about my North Jersey bagels that I will buy a dozen, bring them back to Philly and freeze them because there are NO good bagel places in Philadelphia (disclaimer: that I have found, so far). Until I came to Schmear It. First of all, they are super nice. Especially Dave, the owner. The bagels are fab and fresh every time. I've tried many of their specialty schmears and taken a few stabs at my own creation. Also, don't discount them as a one meal pony. Their egg salad is awesome too and makes for a perfect lunch. I have walked from Drexel to 38th and Spruce for my Bagel Friday bagel. In 90 degree heat. This is serious, guys. These bagels satisfy the bagel snob that lives inside of me that has been sad ever since I moved to Philly. I have just finished my second loyalty card, which is proudly on display inside the truck with a ton of others. A testament to their rabid following of fellow carb lovers. Bonus! They also do catering. I will be treating my bridesmaids to bagels the morning of the wedding while we get our hair and makeup done. I can only assume they are as easy to work with on the catering end as they are on the streets. read more

Want to get some great food, breakfast or lunch, AND support someone who makes an impact on the community? Schmear it is your place. I became obsessed with Schmear it when they parked themselves in front of my school on Thursdays and before I knew it they became the thing I looked forward to in the week between classes, studying and meetings. I definitely recommend one of their creations, my favorite is the stuffed french toast. But my other go-to is an everything bagel with cream cheese and scallions. The choices are almost endless though. The service is great, everyone there is cheery and happy to talk to you. I'm in reading period now and I hunted them down just to make studying more bearable. The walk is always worth it. I follow their Twitter feed and regularly interact with them to figure out where they are and they are always responsive. Oh, and did I mention they take credit cards, too? Best food truck. Ever. And currently my favorite business in Philadelphia. read more

Been to the truck and the store front and both are excellent. For a while they would post up outside of 30th street station every Thursday morning. I have had the Philly roll, the caprese, and the stuffed french toast. All of them were so good! The special cream cheeses are really what make them special, so i wouldn't go and get something ordinary. There are probably better places for that. They do occasionally have a play what you like in which all the proceeds go to a local charity which is super cool! read more

Passed by several times this week and decided to try them this morning. I had 2 plain bagels, one with cream cheese and the other with peanut butter and bananas = OVER THE TOP!!!! Good service, friendly = I will be coming back!!!!! Thank you! read more

I have had my eye on this truck for a while now and finally caught it around 8am this morning (Friday) in Love Park. There were about 8 people waiting around for their bagels, but I didn't have any delay in ordering. The menu was much larger than I expected, boasting everything from sweet toppings to vegan cream cheese to lox. I didn't see any "breakfast" options however (eggs, bacon, etc). Maybe I just missed it? I got a poppy bagel toasted with cream cheese and brought home everything bagels for my house mates. My favorite thing was that you could tell that these were obviously homemade bagels. After learning how to make them last year, I have gotten much pickier, and these were definitely better than most the bagels in the city. They weren't fresh out of the oven, but still yummy. My biggest complaint was that they weren't that warm or toasty. Granted, I put them in my bag and biked home (a 10 minute ride), but none of the cream cheese was warm or melty at all, which is the best part of a toasted bagel! Still, they were friendly, the truck is cute, and my bagels were only $2.50 each! I'll probably chase down this truck again, maybe for the veggie lunch bagel next time. read more

Such amazing bagels. Slightly overpriced for what they're offering. But killer bagels. Would go back any day.

Standard good bagels with more interesting flavors than you'll find at the market, but nothing extraordinary or out of the ordinary. The guy working the truck was super friendly. read more

Best bagels ever... I went here every week since the truck was right in front of my law school, and Thursdays were just not the same without it! My favorite is the veggie delight on a whole wheat everything bagel (yes... They have whole wheat everything bagel, and it is sooo good!) my other favorite is the one with lox pieces too. read more

Yahoo! Bagels on wheels! This was an accidental find on a day when I wandered on a run for errands. I ended up snagging three everything bagels and some white fish salad. The bagels are good quality. The whitefish salad is superb. I'm glad I find this mobile bagel spot. I found it once again a few days later. This time, we got our bagels dressed up. I got the Lox spread on mine. It tasted good. My gripe, however, is that I would like more than pieces of lox. I want the thick slices of Nova Scotia Lox, a slice of tomato, and a slice of onions. Not some veggie/cream cheese, pieces of lix mix. It tasted good, so I am reviewing accordingly. I'd likely bump it to 5 stars if they added the better lox layout to their menu. read more

A true staple of the Porch at 30th street! I find myself indulging on one of their bagels atleast once per week. Service is professional and efficient and the food and coffee are always fresh and of high quality, and prices are very reasonable for the quantity/quality you receive. I especially love the fact the folks behind the counter take the time to chat with their customers and make them feel truly welcome. You really can't ask for much more! A few of my favorites include the Nutty Nanner (peanut butter, Nutella, and banana), the Lox Smith (classic smoked salmon sandwich), Philly Roll (Lox Smith plus wasabi and soy sauce), and their chocolate chip bagels. If you find yourself here frequently, make sure to get the punch card because your 10th bagel is free. read more

I like the selection of spreads, whitefish especially. I like the selection of bagels. I like the coffee brand - Le Columbe. Price is higher than usual, but I still patronize it - haha. 2 bagels with spreads costs me $10.50... The service is a bit slow... And they don't always remember to help me pack knives and napkins. read more

Best bagel!! You can customize your choice of bagel (blueberry, french toast, whole wheat, poppy seed etc.) with many choices of mix-ins (mango, walnut, cucumber, carrot, strawberry etc.) and fillings (cream cheese, salmon salad, egg salad, tuna salad, nutella etc.) Prices vary with your choices but the base is $3 and every mix-in is $0.5. Special fillings (salad) are $2. So generally you will end up paying $4-$6.5. Maybe a little overpriced but the customization totally makes you feel its worth. read more

Today I went to spread, a bagel place down the street and it reminded me why I am loyal to schmear it. The people who work here are so friendly and upbeat and seem really excited about bagels. They're bagels are really good and I really like their yogurts too 10/10 read more

This food truck has so much potential given it's amazing location on Penn's campus. The schmear's are also fine, it's just why do the bagels have to be slightly stale tasting all the time?? Oh and also absurdly overpriced...if only the bagels had any resemblance to the ny or even nj style chewy dough and crispy crust, this place would be popping. For now, I'd rather just wait to get my bagel fix back in jersey. read more

I was so excited when I learned of the bagel truck in Philly. I went to Love Park today to check them out. The negatives first. I got there at 12:20 and they only had three bagel flavors left out if the 10 they started with. I guess that's a great thing for them, but I would have preferred more options. Secondly, I asked for mine toasted and it wasn't really even warm when I got it. I like my bagels to be toasted so the cream cheese melts a little but inside. That aside, the cream cheese was fantastic! I got the veggie delight and it was spot on. Lots of good chipped veggies evenly mixed in with the perfect amount of cream cheese. I can't wait to try more of the choices! read more

For all the hype on Yelp's reviews, this is a comically mediocre bagel. I ordered an everything toasted with cream cheese. I got a sad, barely topped bagel with very little cream cheese. The texture is lousy, there's very little everything flavor to be had due to the lack of topping, and though I guess the cream cheese is alright, they certainly gave me "just a schmear." The first quarter of my bagel had just about no cream cheese on it, and there wasn't much on its opposite half to spread around. If you're interested in their wacky fillings, maybe this review isn't right for you, but if you're looking for a really good bagel with good cream cheese, look elsewhere in Philly. (And tell me when you find it.) read more
