Knead Bagels — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Well I am not happy about an experience that i had here. Usually the people here are pretty nice but I don't like how this particular situation was handled. I often eat here and I stopped in right before closing to purchase a ginger ale. The lady at the register rung me up before noticing that they didn't have ginger ale in which I paid with my card, Her response was "Oh good thing the charge didn't go through!" Upon leaving the establishment I received a text message that the charge went through. (See pic below). No big deal, the charge was for $2.43. I called and left a message, I knew the store was closed at this time because I went 5 mins before closing. So I called again this morning and the lady I spoke to was sort of rude about it stating that no charges went through on her end and she basically kept stating this making it seem as though I was making this up. I feel like better customer service should have been in given in the situation. She could have an offered an apology for the confusion , She could have offered me a soda or something but to make it seem like i was making this up over $2.43 was just poor customer service. Now i've purchased many bagels from this establishment and I must say I won't be...

There is a paucity a good bagel shops in Philadelphia, and unfortunately, Knead Bagels does not fill the void.

As long as nobody will have to deal with the resulting halitosis, one of my favorite brunches is an everything bagel with whitefish salad, onions, and cucumbers. So when I saw it on Knead’s menu while in the area, I stopped in.

Now, I may be very particular with my bagel preferences, but I strongly believe that the best bagels offer a strong contrast of textures between a crispy outside and a warm, pillowy inside. And if there is seasoning, it should be dense—coating the outside. Knead disappointed with a monotonously chewy “circular bread product” and only moderate seasoning. The whitefish salad, though tasty, was anemic in proportion. And the onions lacked bite.

Overall, it wasn’t specifically a BAD sandwich, but it definitely didn’t scratch the itch; hence, 3 stars. I wonder if the more foodie-forward options are their strength, but they didn’t impress with...

After 3 mornings in a row of getting Knead Bagels bagels, I can proudly state that this establishment is top tier Their bagels are exceptional, affordable,and their service is quick and accurate.

They also have a great morning special- coffee and a bagel combo for under 7 bucks! In this day and age?! Wow!

*Note I ordered online/to go I have yet to enjoy a dine in experience.

Today is Morning #3. I just ate the best bagel I've ever tasted. Dark Toasted with a regular amount of roasted veggie cream cheese. Everything bagel is usually my go to, but I've been intoduced to a new spiced bagel through them, the Togarashi. I've got it 3 mornings in a row.

Their dark toast is excellent. The bagel's crust offers just a slight crunch - not stale, not hard, - you bite into soft and warm bread and a great serving portion of your selected cream cheese.

I will say- Remember they're a bagel shop not a coffee shop. Their bagels are delicious!!!!!!!!...
