OH. MY. GOODNESS. I don't live anywhere near this place but would trek deep waters to get my hands on The Ramen bagel sandwich. I have never tasted anything so delectable and unique. Every time I visit Philly, I MUST stop here for breakfast. Try it. You won't regret it!
This place has the best bagels I've ever had in my life! The place is cozy with a friendly staff. What more can you ask for.
I ordered the greens, deens and beans. Really good sandwich! I also ordered the philly special and a plain bagel for later. Staff was friendly and nice. They had chairs outside and inside to sit. Street parking wasn't bad.
Cleo Bagels made me fall in love with bialys! I’ve never had one before and now I am hooked. I got the garlic za’atar bialy with egg and cheese. So simple yet so delicious. I love that its thinner than a bagel but has a nice crispiness to it. It almost reminds me of a cross between an english muffin and a bagel. The flavors were there and the egg was cooked perfectly. Fluffy and not a weird texture. I will absolutely be coming back in the future!
I judge bagels on the seeds and this place delivered. Every variety was covered with them. We tried a full dozen and every one had a nice crunch with a chewy inside. They had a ramen breakfast sandwich that was out of this world.
