Service and bagels are excellent. Pastries are always fresh. Customer service is always warm

The good: excellent, friendly service, a ton of bagel flavors, fair prices in an unassuming, no-frills shop. The not-so-good: inconsistent bagels. Sometimes they're the right level of chewy, other times they are rock hard, even when getting them at 9am. I recently sent my husband for a dozen bagels and several of them were so dense and hard that I had to really push to slice them, and it felt like work to chew and swallow them. And the flavor wasn't as good this time as last time. I had a banana walnut last time that was super delicious but this time it was too dense and pretty bland. If their bagels were a little less dense and more consistent in flavor, this would probably be my favorite spot, but alas, I cannot say that it is. read more

Very good bagels, not too chewy and the egg and bacon was very tasty. However, not the biggest bagels and that's why it loses a star, although let it be known I would give it a 4.5 if I could. Solid pastries, just not as good as bagel. read more

My go to Bagel shop closed temporarily so of course I took to Yelp to find an alternative. Glad I did. Close to my house and they have delicious whitefish and a lot of bagel flavors. I'm looking forward to tasting the banana walnut bagel with cream cheese. read more

Such a great place full of good food and good people. I really appreciated the kind and attentive service. The bagel sandwiches were excellent, and the selection of bagels was wide. I will definitely be back! read more

I love original bagel but it's been hit or miss with the cream cheese amount on the bagel I actually bought a container of cream cheese because of it Don't forget to bring cssh Dollar extra to use credit or debit card Service is always great. I think when the weekend rolls around and the high school kids are working Next time I'll jus ask for extra cream cheese I was told in a response by Mr Leibowitz that he has stopped charging a dollar for debit or credit card use I love original bagel I travel from west Chester because yes they are that good I hope the owner acknowledges that it was his policy to charge a dollar for debit and credit card purchases but that the policy has changed I have always tried pay cash for local business read more

Loved the everything bagel had it toasted. Guess if it is fresh, then it is nice crunchy bite to it.

Easily the best bagel around, it's not even close. You will drive out of your way for these bagels and once you have them you won't get bagels from anywhere else ever again. The place doesn't look like much and it could use a deep clean but I don't even care, the bagels are so good he could be selling them out of a hole in the wall and I'd drive out of my way to get them. This is one of those places that when you go, you have to check with your friends and family if they want anything because if they see you got a bagel and didn't ask them if they wanted one they'll be mad. read more

Coming from NJ, I've had access to amazing bagels my entire life and have rather high standards for them. I've been in this area for nearly 4 years and this is the first bagel place I've tried that lives up to my expectation. Service was efficient. My everything bagel with scallion cream cheese was delicious and the cream cheese to bagel ratio was perfect. I will be back. read more

This place has a typical bagel shop atmosphere. There are lots of varieties of bagels and several other baked items available. Service is helpful. The bagels are the most authentic that I can find outside of New York. read more

It's a cute spot but they got our bagel order wrong and the cream cheese on our sandwich was nonexistent. Think it's more of a loose bagel shop than a sandwich place. read more

We stopped here for breakfast to try it out as our usual breakfast place was closed. They have a large selection of bagels and other baked goods. We got a bacon, egg & cheese, sausage, egg & cheese and a cream cheese bagel. The bagels had good flavor but there wasn't much bacon on the BEC. Some of the bagels were on the smaller side compared to other places I've been to. The staff was very friendly and the food came out quickly. The restaurant is a very classic bagel place with the bagel case display. We would come back here again. read more

I've been coming here for years. The bagels are unmatched. Breakfast sandwiches definitely aren't the best you'll ever have but I'll come here for a dozen bagels and cream cheese any day. read more

Drove by this place a few times not knowing exactly what it was. Stopped in and got some of the best bagels I've ever had. Had a chocolate cheesecake brownie that was amazing. And the cream cheese schmear must be fresh made because it was the absolute most amazing Schmear I've ever had in my life. The bagels were chewy and soft and flavorful and there was so much variety in this little building. And I believe it's run by a family and they make fresh donuts on Fridays. I cannot wait to go back. read more

These bagels are the very best I have ever had. We always get 6 banana walnut, 6 cinnamon raisin & one plain (1 dozen plus one free). They slice them (if you want) they give you freezer bags since we eat them over 10 -12 days. Take out of freezer, thaw, toast perfect breakfast with butter, spreads they also make & you can buy & I like peanut butter for protein. Best in DELCO!!!! read more

Bagels were excellent. Firm yet soft and so flavorful. Definitely going back again. Looking forward to trying new flavors

Wow!!!! I'm a tough grader but this 80s looking place in a small strip mall in Broomall just made me the best bagel I've ever had .... Yep tried a few in NY lots in Philly - found it in Broomall! The egg, sausage and cheese were all perfectly cooked and the toasted everything bagel .... Wow. No sit down service but the two ladies working there were Sooooo nice! Planned to take a bite and finish at office. It lasted three blocks! I'll be back VERY soon! They also have doughnuts from NY on Fridays. read more

Finally, an oasis in this bagel desert I have been living in the last two years! I love a good bagel and the places recommended around me only serving plain or everything bagels weren't cutting it at all. Nor were the Dunkin's of the world who don't know or don't care enough to actually toast their bagels. Original has saved me from these abominations and also saved me from driving back into the city any time I want a decent bagel. This place has every flavor you could imagine. I went later in the morning and they weren't out of anything yet either. I opted for my go to, cinnamon raisin toasted dark with cream cheese. And I am so happy to say they actually toasted it dark. The ladies who helped me were so lovely and made sure it was toasted well. The self serve coffee was great as well. In addition to bagels they have a bunch of other baked goods offerings that I am sure I will try one of these days. But for now I can't wait to go back and get a few more delicious quality bagels that I have been so missing in my life. read more

I'm fairly impressed by this place. Get any of their whipped cream cheeses from the cooler and you won't be disappointed. Their everything bagels are great, and have salt on them as is proper. There's also a ton of bagel flavors to choose from, including some odd ones like banana walnut; you're sure to find something you'll like. They also carry cookies and some pastries, and from experience I can say their biscotti is delicious. It's a great little bagel place and currently my go-to. read more

This place is very fast paced, there is no seating or restrooms so they definitely want you in and out of there. The staff is straight forward and fast! The food was very good. I would definitely recommend a cinnamon raisin bagel with honey almond cream cheese. There are a range of options, including biscotti and donuts!! I will definitely be coming here again. read more

We loved this place. We stopped in on our way home to San Francisco to buy some bagels and cookies for the flight. Everything was top-notch. Service by (what seemed to be) a mother and daughters was warm. When we're back in the area to visit family, we will come again. read more

Don't know what I'd do without this place. It's the holidays and we always have a breakfast with bagels, lox, whitefish etc. But thru out the year I love their everything and salt bagels. These are made New York style. Smooth shiny exterior and thick heavy doughy inside. ( and typical NYer I take the inside dough out so I can spend more calories on the cream cheese). They also have really great cream cheese selections. Today I got the garlic and herb,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,uhhhh make that almost pure garlic. Delicious. And I'm a fan of the scallion cream cheese as well. AND...........................I splurged on the $18/POUND Chocolate chip biscotti. It's so good we only came home with a few pieces. We ate the rest on the way. If you want something specific CALL AHEAD. Their bialys are also great, but they don't always have them on the shelf. read more

Went to pick up a dozen bagels and the staff and team were very accommodating. Wanted some garlic and got them straight from the oven. Lots of other good treats as well as the bagels. No room to eat-in but a great place. read more

Still my favorite bagel place. $20 for a baker's dozen. Real NY, Jewish deli style bagel. Four-generation business. Fresh bagels every day from 5 am to 2 pm. Cookies and other treats sometimes available. Sesame seed and the other "toppings" are in both sides so there is no top and bottom to these bagels. Plastic bags provided for freezing when asked for. read more

Really good fresh bagels, friendly staff, old school business, not a chain store. How can you ever eat a supermarket bagel after eating here? You can't so just stop. read more

Wow these bagels are delicious! They were fresh out of the oven. I got a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and it was delicious. The bagels were light and fluffy. I will def be back for more bagels! read more

These guys always have the freshest bagel owners are so nice they have their act together!!

My husband and I love the bagels here! I'm originally from NY and always looking for a good bagel. Boy are these bagels and cream cheeses NY worthy! read more

Bagels are truly authentic Jewish style. Amazing! Great friendly staff! Bagel sandwiches are great! Have to try their cream cheese soon read more

Very popular place with tons of bagel variety. Bagels have an excellent chew, though the flavor of the cinnamon swirl bagel could be stronger. Prices are comparable to chains but the $1 debit/credit card fee (not based on transaction amount) is a turn-off read more

Growing up I remember eating frozen Lender's bagels. They were the real deal but frozen. Bagels were not a staple bread at diners and there were not any franchise bagrl chains. Growing up in the DC suburbs I was lucky to be near a Jewish community and could get real boiled bagels at a real bagel store so I am pretty picky. There are "baked" bagels, Montreal style bagels, bagels injected with steam, frozen dough then baked. Nothin beats NYC as it is the bagel kingdom. I tried several boiled bagel shops in the a Philly area that are authentic and yummy but this place is the best place close to my house. I ordered a bagel tray for Thanksgiving and the bagels were delicious. The perfect chewy texture! I was expecting the bialys to be flat and bread like but it may be just the style. Get there early as they sell out and close at 2 pm. Early birds get them hot at 5am. Also have cookies and pastry . I will be back for more! read more

Awesome bagels. Good selection of flavors and toppings. I need to try the coffee next visit.

Okay, wow. I have been deprived of a good bagel around here for some time and this place hits the spot. They have plenty of flavors and the size and texture of the bagels is substantial and just chewy enough. The homemade cream cheeses are so good. $10 for 13 bagels is a good price too. They have a little bakery counter too with nice options. Would make the trip back over anytime! read more

The only authentic bagel spot in many many miles. They have consistently fresh, fluffy, but crispy bagels. My family has been patronizing this business for I would say, about 20 years. I highly recommend the pumpernickel bagels, the half and half, as well as the classics sesame, poppy seed, and rye. If you are feeling adventurous or love try the jalapeño. read more

I have seen this place while picking up chinese from the place next door and figured I'd jump in to see if they sold bagel sandwiches for future reference. I was greeted by the owner upon entry, who explained what they had. I inquired if they bagels were made on site and learned the history of the place with him being a 5th generation bagel baker. He was even interested in my suggested bagel topping and vowed to give it a try. I was asked by the wife to bring a few home to try and after picking 8, it made more sense to pay the extra $2 for 5 more bagels getting a "true" baker's dozen. While most places will dump all bagels into a single bag, the owner bagged the everything bagels separately due to the salt, and tossed in a few freezer bags in case we needed to store any - some extra perks. The wife decided that pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwiches on a bagel were the dinner menu - The bagels were outstanding and true to flavor. Even the kids, not knowing that these weren't regular supermarket bakery bagels commented on how good the bagels were. Next morning it was discovered that the bag was left open, because apparently "someone" needed a midnight snack and didn't close the bag back up (evil glare). Expecting disappointment, the bagels were still fresh, and we had toasted bagels with cream cheese for breakfast (The veggie cream cheese is awesome), and then I made a ham & cheese sandwich with mayo, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted jalapeno bagel to take with me to work. After sitting wrapped up for a few hours in the kegerator (don't ask), it was amazing! This place has their act together, bagels are fantastic and superior to any you'd get in those supermarket bakeries by leaps and bounds. The Mrs. made it clear that when she wants bagels she'll be texting me her order when I am at work so I can swing by and grab them. After eating a bagel with each of my last three meals, I may have to put a little extra effort in at the gym. I highly recommend this place, even if you have to travel a bit (like we do) to get them. Note: This review only covers the bagels, and their cream cheese spreads. If I ever get around to trying the sandwiches, I will update my review to include them. A few notes: - credit card orders have no minimum but there is a $1.00 fee to do so. - you can purchase a container full of the sesame seeds and everything mix separately - You can order the bagels toasted, with butter, cream cheese, flavored cream cheese, or with jelly. - breakfast sandwiches include: egg; egg & cheese; meat, egg, and cheese; or peppers, egg, and cheese. - lunch sandwiches/toppings include: chicken salad, BLT, Whitefish, or Egg Salad - Bagel varieties in the attached photo read more

Locally owned good bagels & yummy homemade cream cheeses of different flavors but their breakfast sandwiches are terrible. We ordered bacon, egg & cheese on a bagel, requesting crispy bacon. The bacon was only this side of cooked, there was barely a serving of egg & it was microwaved. Chewy, dry & bland. If you're looking for a tasty breakfast sandwich go to Thunderbird or Hungry A both locally owned & they will not dissapoint. read more

Great spot. People travel far to get bagels here. They need to add a sour dough bagel.

House sitting nearby and was looking for a quick take out breakfast/not Dunkin or Starbucks. Ended up ordering a sausage/egg breakfast sandwich-delicious, a dozen bagels (bakers dozen) and some biscotti. Will definitely return! As to the person who posted a picture of a poppy seed bagel with very few poppies-you mist have been there during the poppy seed shortage. That is not what they had today! read more
