Philly Style Bagels

Honestly hard to judge the bagel with lox and creamcheese on it but showed up around 10am on a Monday and I was the only one. The place was "friend"ly and service was prompt. Everyone seemed really nice. Bagel sandwich was good and stuffed. By the time I left the place had about 5-6 mommies with lids waiting for their bagels.Good standard bagel place that was clean and within walking distance of independence mall where my hotel was located! Very clean and definitely seemed to have a strong following in the neighborhood.Ambiance: lots of Queen and Madonna music.

This place is poppin on the weekends! I live close enough to walk here but parking isn't great with the time you wait on weekends, so I suggest finding parking before or after this area on the street or a side street! Staff are friendly and store has a very clean modern look.I wish they had more flavors of bagels just because I'm a Bagel-connoisseur but they all are great and cream cheese is PERFECTION if you like the REAL stuff (I'm obsessed and have been on the hunt for good cream cheese) if you prefer the corporate harder cream cheese then just buy the bagels and DIY. Bagels were still soft 3-4 days after I bought them (I bought a larger cream cheese and took it home with me). I'm a fan, sorry I didn't get any pictures - camera did not eat first!

First time in Philly and I just picked a random spot for a light breakfast. Let me say first that the staff is so friendly and knowledgeable about bagels. Ask them what they recommend and you won't be disappointed. The prices were fair and the coffee was great as well. They have a litany of different cream cheeses and bagel styles for everyone and anything. There's a few small tables outside for 2-4 people and the view of old style apartments and shops is lovely. Highly recommended for a quick light breakfast!

I thoroughly enjoyed the bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel! The "everything" forms a delicious crust atop a bagel with excellent chew. The egg is fluffy and perfectly moist, while the spicy mayo compliments all parts well.I would've given 5 stars were it not for a $5 refill on an iced coffee :( Seems rather petty for a customer who just dropped a $5 tip on top of a breakfast sandwich. Might wanna rethink this PSB.

Have stopped at this bagel shop a few times over the past two years and sometimes thought the bagels felt old and hard to chew. Today, we gave it another try and it was the best bagel I've had so far in Philadelphia! Not sure if they changed something about the cooking process or what, but the bagel was just the right amount of toasted while still soft to chew. They have multiple options for bagels and cream cheese. I got the egg bagel with plain cream cheese which was delicious and my husband got the cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese. They definitely aren't shy with the cream cheese and each bagel was loaded with it.The shop is always crowded, but I feel like they always get the bagels/sandwiches out pretty quickly!Definitely recommend!

Friendly service, quick ordering with little to no wait time. Ordered everything bagel with veggie cream cheese toasted. Great seasoning and flavor for both the bagel and the cream cheese. Would recommend!

Bagels and coffee were very good. Good bagel sandwich options too. Service was quick, friendly and courteous. Went a couple of times during our Philly visit and would recommend for a quick bite or to-go as there's not much seating.

Oh wow, not that many reviews here so far. These are outstanding bagels, but the ambience of the space is lacking, and everything whole wheat bagels (which are great) are only available 2-3 days a week. I so wish these were the standard, but perhaps their *exclusivity* will be alluring to some.If this is the old city location for the wonderful Fishtown bagel shop I visited a few years back, the environment leaves a lot to be desired. While that location is cozy and cute, this one is industrial without much old school charm. Can feel a bit like a school cafeteria. I appreciate that sort of environment...but they should pair it with some casual succulents, perhaps wood accents and blue/white tile. I'm not going to redesign their space on a Google review but they definitely need to look more inviting and put together. Right now, it sorta looks temporary.Lastly, the sandwiches are a miss. I also don't recall them offering avocado on the bagels at this location...and if they do, it was so expensive I didn't even register considering it. For the sandwiches, the bagel is either too small or the sandwich fillings are too minimal for the price - I haven't decided which issue is more important. In any case, the bagel sandwiches are unsatisfying. Get yourself a batch of their bagels to take home instead. They're very good.

This bagel was solid- the bagel itself has good flavor and texture. The only miss is the sandwich part, we need to try a regular bagel with butter or cream cheese. The egg is a bit thick and could have more bacon... something about the ratio is off.However, the staff is very friendly as as mentioned the bagel itself is good. We will be back but to try something else.

Just before I moved to Old City, Philly Style Bagels opened a location near my new digs. The gods must be smiling upon me. I don't have to trek up to Fishtown for my bagel fix.The bagels are just my style: chewy, dense, and delicious. I don't bother with a sandwich anymore--these bagels were meant to be enjoyed simply. Butter or jam is all I need to enjoy them. And really, I don't even need that. They are good on their own.Online ordering makes it a breeze. I order as I walk out my door, and by the time I arrive at the shop, my order is ready. What more is there to say? Philly Style Bagels, and their new Old City location, make me very happy
