Schmear Bagel Parlor - 36th St — Restaurant in Philadelphia

Best. Bagels. Ever!

I walked by Schmear It truck almost every day for a couple years, and only found the storefront about a year ago, and my weekends have been transformed since! We have made it a tradition to get breakfast at Schmear It once a month, and any time we have guests.

I would recommend Schmear It to anyone looking for a delicious, quick breakfast at a great price point and anyone who wants to support a...

Great bagels, but you need to watch them closely as they make yours. I just saw a guy making a bagel. He dropped a cucumber on the floor, picked it up, and without changing his gloves, continued making the bagel. I brought it to the attention of the person at the register. She thanked, but when I turned around, her and another girl also making bagels, were laughing. It may have been about something unrelated, but it's not a good look. Definitely won't be going there for a while and will tell all my coworkers, who work just around the corner, about what...
