    I was craving a good bagel sandwich and found this place on Google. It had pretty good reviews, so I decided to stop by. I came in hoping for a sesame bagel, but everything was sold out except the everything egg bagel. I ordered the lox sandwich. The portion was generous, but I was disappointed because it was quite oily, slightly burnt, and a bit hard. On the positive side, the service was good, and they have a nice variety of coffee and latte drinks. I tried the strawberry matcha, and it was tasty. Cozy small spot with some seating.

    Sheesh what a fantastic bagel sandwich! Recommended by a friend I knew I would be in the neighborhood and had to put in an order to try these bagels. I schedule my pick up order online and my order was ready and waiting when I walked in. I got the bacon, egg and cheese bagel sandwich on a rosemary bagel (love ROSEMARY anything!). I also got a salted caramel mocha latte to go as well. Due to traffic I was about 8-10 mins late for my pick up but I was able to grab it and go. Now this sandwich is divine. Prob one of the best I've had in Philly so far! The bagel - nice and chewy. Hints of rosemary throughout. The egg light and fluffy, the CHEESE pull omg and the seasoned bacon. Perfection in a sandwich. My salted caramel latte was also good but alittle cold but thats due to me being late most likely. Overall a solid spot. Cant wait to try more bagels and coffee here :)

    Oooh we need to bring the ratings up! Slice & Schmear is incredible and better than Apollo's bagels in NYC. I won't be having to pay $50 tolls for an amazing bagel. Open Face Tomato bagel - we got honey habanero cream cheese on a jalapeño bagel. Phenomenal heat! The bagel was crunchy and easy to pull apart with your teeth. Rosemary Sea Salt bagel with cooper-sharp long hot cream cheese was a combination I never knew I needed. The bagel itself was thick and fluffy. The cream cheese flavor is one of the best cream cheeses I have ever had. They have a very extensive drink menu - something for everyone. Got an iced latte with toffee nut syrup and almond milk. Super flavorful and the syrup didn't taste artificial at all. Can't wait to go back!

    Visited for some bagels with friends and took it to a nearby cafe. Folks here were friendly and…read morehelpful in the mornings-- honestly a rare combo to begin with amongst breakfast places. 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.
