Authentic Bagel
2204 Market St, Philadelphia, PA
Crema's Take
“This Center City gem delivers exactly what its name promises: authentically crafted bagels that locals are thrilled to have finally found in the neighborhood. The warmth of the staff shines through as much as the quality of their breakfast sandwiches and coffee, making it feel like a genuine neighborhood spot rather than just a quick grab, with cozy tables perfect for lingering over an everything bagel with veggie cream cheese or a spinach croissant.”

Nice bagel shop. Got the egg & cheese bagel with bacon and enjoyed it. Multiple little tables inside. Great if you’re looking for a quick bite!
I was walking past the first time I tried them. First of all, the staff is so sweet and so kind and friendly and welcoming. I got an iced coffee and then everything bagel with veggie cream cheese. The cream cheese was the best I’ve ever had , so much flavor. I feel like I never had something like that so the person working there told me about how they make their own!!! It had actual vegetables in it like carrots and peppers. It was so delicious. I highly recommend.
I went here for a breakfast sandwich and landed on a sausage, egg and cheese on an everything bagel. Overall the bagel itself was good, but the amount of egg seemed a bit small. I was hoping for a more hearty sandwich. The sausage looked and smelled like a hot dog at first, but had some good flavor. The sandwich hit the spot in the end, just wished there were more eggs and maybe a sausage patty or regular style links instead of the smoked / processed sausage. The guy working here was very friendly and attentive. Nice addition to the block compared to what used to be here.
I’ve been craving for an affordable bagel spot to open in the Center City / Amtrak area and finally we have one! The spinach croissant classic at $6 plus a coffee is just what I need to have a quick, affordable eat. There’s some window seating but this is a mostly take-and-go place. Staff are very friendly here. Please support this small business so they can continue running!
One of the best bagel spots in the city!! Just like the name authentic bagel, everything in this spot is very original and authentic to the core. Coffee is amazing and the bagels make you want to come back again and again! The owners are very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended and always support small businesses ❤️😁
