Knead Bagels

If you are reading this just stop and go get some food! It's all good. I have my favorite but am always tempted by the specials. I mean 2 bagels is good right? And the sandwiches are so good. The service is amazing. I truly love this place and will go out of my way to grab a bagel.

Location is great! Right off Washington Square! I was a bit disappointed with the lack of salmon my sandwich had. Felt a bit silly. Bagel was good in the end and it was nice to sit inside for a bit. Everyone was nice and kind. Coffee looks delicious!

I love the name. Stopped by to grab coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Ordered the lox on Togarashi with scallion lime spread. I enjoyed all ingredients. I might try ordering the bagels by themselves next time to get a better taste of them. Service was quick and timely. There are a few tables inside, and some outside. Nice morning stop in Washington square.

Special: Salt & Pepper Bagel w. Maple Rosemary CC; 1/2 dozen bagels sliced with freezer bag: 3 ZaAtar, 3 Tograshi, half pint of horseradish dill hummus and sandwich Awesome service: Madison and Ashley Comfortable and chill

Had a bagel breakfast sandwich w egg, cheese, and sausage on an everything bagel. All good, the sausage was a bit spicy, but not too! Nice small place run very efficiently!

FOODWe ordered a BLT on everything and and egg/cheese/sausage on everything. They were absolutely delicious despite a couple downsides. The bacon on the BLT had a jerky-like consistency and wasn't oily, which I loved, and the sausage reminded me of Vietnamese marinated pork than the typical American sausage. They were flavorful and intense. The cheese was also melted nicely with the egg.My caveat is that the seasoning on the everything bagel easily dusts off, so there's not much left on it when you bite into it. I ended up dusting some on with each bite instead. The other downside is that there isn't much bacon on the BLT, and the prices are on the higher side. ($8+ for a BLT!!!)SERVICEService is quick, and the staff are friendly.AMBIANCEAmple seating is available inside with a couple tables outside as well. It can get crowded quite easily, so it's more of a grab-and-go place since Washington Square Park is nearby.PARKINGPaid street parking is available at a limited capacity. Parking garages are also nearby due to its close location to Penn and Jefferson health systems.

Generally, I liked my experience here.Ambiance: (5/5) there is enough seating for a few people. It is close to the hospital so it is convenient for a lot of people. Price: (4/5) Normal prices are average, but lunch prices are really good. $12 for a bagel sandwich, side and drink. OJ is a slight up charge but it was worth it.Food: (4/5) Bagels are really good for the area, but are not the same as NJ or NY of course. I got the Bahn Mi and it had a great sauce that gave it that Asian twist. The cucumber salad was a great side. It has dill, vinegar, and onions and I would highly recommend.Service: (5/5) Food comes our quick and staff is very nice.In conclusion, I would come here again!

Had to drop into a Bagel specialty shop in Philly! Tried their special Strawberry shortcake + strawberry cream cheese combo. Bagel was unique and fresh, soft but chewy. And the cream cheese was light and tasty. I will absolutely drop by again if I come back to Philly.

Loved stumbling into Knead on a Sunday. We didn't realize they closed at 1 but we're grateful they still took our order 5 mins before close. We were excited to try the Super food bagel and the tograshi and wow! The flavor combo of the tograshi with the long hot cream cheese is delicious enough to definitely become a frequent flyer here. My husband and I agreed that next time we need to come when they open because the texture of the bagel was a bit tougher. We can imagine just how yummy these would be fresh out of the oven.

I love this bagel shop! I'm an avid bagel eater (bring me the carbs idc!) and this place always gets it right. The bagels are slightly crisp on the outside and taste straight out the oven with a soft slightly chewy interior. I never get them toasted they're just right without tasting stale. True bagel. The breakfast sandwiches are exceptional due to the Garlic Alioli they use on them. A good BEC can't be dry so I usually add ketchup to mine but this aioli beats ketchup for me any day! They also use good ol' cooper sharp american cheese so you know I like to get extra and make is super cooper sharp cheesy like many Philadelphians likes their cheesesteaks.The service is always friendly and I've been coming for about 3 years and have seen staff changes but always remain welcoming. Definitely a bagel spot to check out. 10/10!
