Crema's Take

“This beloved neighborhood spot has earned a fierce following of New York transplants who swear these are Philadelphia's best bagels—boasting that perfect crispy exterior and fresh, flavorful interior that's worth a 30-minute drive. What sets them apart is their willingness to hand-craft everything from scratch, including bialys made to order in about 20 minutes, paired with exceptional cream cheese and genuine warmth from a family-run team that clearly cares about getting every detail right. It's the kind of place where you'll find yourself freezing bagels to take home, confident they'll taste just as incredible days later.”

My new favorite bagel place, and I'm from NY so have high standards! A friendly, warm, family-run business that is highly attuned to customer service, and it's a pleasure going there. The bagels are continually made throughout the day, and are always fresh and tasty. Their spreads are also made-in house and are great. Skip the chains and fancier places, and head to this hidden gem of a place. You'll be glad.

These are the best bagels in Philly. We have been struggling with bagel deficiency after moving from NYC to Philly until we found this bagel oasis. We drive 30 mins to come here. The bagels are crisp on the outside with a soft chewy interior. The customer service is excellent. The staff is extremely kind and welcoming.

Their bagels are so fresh that I took some to freeze since I live in a different city. I froze them, and they taste just as good as fresh whenever I heat them up. Their cream cheese is out of this world. I’m also in love with their chocolate chip muffins they’re so moist and delicious. I highly recommend this place, and the staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming.
