I’m having a very hard time finding a decent bagel shop around here. I know now I have to go more towards Philly when I want to bagel because it’s not working out. I have heard good things about this place so I drove 17 minutes from Phoenixville to check it out one morning. The person before me ordered two dozen bagels and so I had high hopes. I ordered two bagel sandwiches. They were $6 plus tax each. When I saw them in the back making it I went to have a look. I didn’t hear any skillet because they dont have one. That is because they microwave their eggs or what they called it “aerate” some would say “nuked”. This seems very odd to me for a stand alone bagel shop to be microwaving their food. In return you don't get a typical fried egg or egg options; you get egg fluff. Who knows if they are actual eggs? Maybe if you have only ever had a Dunkin Donut bagel this is a step above. Their bagels also come from New York. This sounds cool but really? They do not make them on site like most legit bagel shops or even get them local.They get them from NY every two weeks! Which means they are frozen and they taste like frozen bagels. The bagel itself is probably good from their source itself. Can we please get a bagel shop that makes their own bagels and has a skillet 🙌 I don't like giving a mom and pop a two stars. However, I think this shop deserves it for not having fresh bagels or eggs and calling itself a bagel shop. It's a reheating cafe. Nice staff is the only reason I gave...
Read moreAll reviews proclaiming these are the best bagels clearly never venture to center city Philadelphia very often. There are 4-6 bagel shops per square mile there, and I can guarantee that none of them scoop their scream cheese from huge tubs clearly displayed in the display case (pay attention people). Although taste and quality where overall, not that bad, it's nothing to write home about. And at a cost of 4.19$ for ONE BAGEL with cream cheese, I'd expect at least the cream cheese to be made in house if not the bagel as well. I spend 4.37$ with Philly food tax for a bagel made In house with in house mixed cream cheese. This is a prime example of a highway robbery considering neither the bagel nor the cream cheese where made by any on site staff, and thrown into white plastic serving dishes and priced as if it has been shaped by celebrity chef hands. This is an example of how chain restaraunts are overtaking, because.. at a lower cost I can get the same ingredients you're using, and also feel good that I'm giving a teenager some work experience along the way. This shop seems as if it is run as a hobby, which, as any good food service entrepreneur will tell you; is a horrible idea, although great in theory because you get to sell things to...
Read moreOne of my favorite bagel shops in the KOP area and located near Petruccis farm for icecream. Located in a strip mall in the middle of the suburbs you will find this bagel haven. I have come here three times and I enjoy the freshness of the bagels and flavor of cream cheese. My personal favorite is the toasted garlic bagel with veggie cream cheese and chocolate milk for a drink. Coffee is mediocre a little watered down and no milk just creamer. My boyfriend orders a toasted garlic with salmon lock cream cheese and loves it. They have a good variety of bagel flavors and they are very generous with the cream cheese which is the best part. I've had bacon before and it's nice and crunchy and you get 2-3 pieces. Seems to be a hopping spot for locals and a great place to get lunch too. I would def say come for the bagels. I've seen some cookies and desserts they offer too but have...
