BY FAR THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPION OF PHILLY BAGELS. Better than Cleo’s, Barts, Schmear, Knead etc. ARGUE WITH YA GREAT AUNTIE. The MOST ELITE REPRESENTATION IF YOU WANT ANY RESEMBLANCE TO A NY. The owner is the Mecca Of it all!! The godfather who had cooked for celebrities. He’s GOT STATUS YALL. Warm, humbling and welcoming. He told me to come back if I didn’t and this man perfected just like his storytelling. S/O to his wife for being a saint as well. This a REAL BAGEL BRUH. A True NY representation of how bagel should be firm on the outside and light on the inside, perfect bagel size. Awesome texture and the cream cheese to bagel ratio was perfect. Let’s talk about it!! Hand-rolled, malt-boiled, and baked ring. Not your typical fast food bagel. Owner mention you can tell characterized by a shiny, crisp, chestnut brown crust and a dense if it’s from NY. The owner and his wife are endearing and passionate about their food and what they serve. He told me to come back if I didn’t like it (I haven’t come back since lol) They gave me free samples of the strawberry, sun dried tomato cream cheese, brown sugar cinnamon, vegetarian creme cheese all were DUMB good on a different planet but let me tell you that NOVA SCOTIA LOX he made me was on another LEVEL. Got it on a pumpernickel Rye bagel w/ avocado yall this changed my life this was torched!! A match made in heaven!! BUSSDOWN in He was more than joyful for me to come back and try more of his food such as his tiramisus, baklava, Mediterranean goods. I’ll be back soon family!! Thank you for giving PHILLY hope on the bagel game
