South Street Philly Bagels

Their selection of bagels, cream cheese spreads and other tasty menu options are the best in Philly. I cannot go to South St without making a stop for my usual whole wheat everything bagel with lox cream cheese and tomato. The staff is friendly and go above and beyond to get your order out as quickly as possible. The other customers are cool too and I also seem to strike up a conversation while I wait for my order.

Sadly I was not impressed by this bagel shop. First ding was that they were out of ice at 9 am so I couldn't get an iced coffee. Second ding was the lack of seating - there was a super tall bar with very short chairs that made it impossible for my kids to reach the counter. There were bugs everywhere. I also was not a big fan of the bagel itself. It was too chewy and tasted like it had been sitting out for a long time. I've never complained about too much cream cheese, but this one had so much that I had to scrape off about half. It also was not very good cream cheese. It wasn't light and fluffy but thick and stodgy. Not my favorite.

Really good weekday bagel place! Not too busy on weekends either. Sandwiches are a good size and nicely fills. Bagels are not huge and it's also not super pricey :). Everyone working is also usually very nice. Good pick up spot for sure

I ordered the turkey Cali, toasted. The bagel was missing sprouts, not toasted, barely any avocado and all turkey. I assumed the cheese would be melted and the bagel would have butter or something on it. We're visiting from out of town but super disappointed. We were also the only people in the shop when ordering so this wasn't rushed. I ended up just eating the turkey by itself and throwing the rest out.

This place is terrific. I lucked into this with Too Good To Go and this is now my go-to. I've been searching for a great neighborhood bagel place since coming to Pennsport. This place has it all: great friendly service and delicious bagels with that perfect bagel chew. They have the classics, but don't sleep on the French Toast bagel. So good.

Tasty bagels, and very friendly service, this old style bagel emporium sells a nice variety, and they are very nice size, definitely not a boutique bagel.They are located very close to the 4th. Street Deli, and opened in 1996, they make a true water bagel.You can get any type of bagel sandwiches, from a lox, and cream cheese bagel to a Rueben, and everything in between.Give S S P B's a try, you won't be disappointed.

Came in the morning to grab a few bagels. Place smelled amazing when I walked in. The display case with bagels had no labels on it. I had to ask the guy which each bagel was. I got 2 bagels. Cream cheese was sold separately. They had some great sounding flavors. I wanted apple raisin and my wife wanted jalapeño. I looked at the prices and it was 1.25 for ONE OUNCE! This was a coffee creamer size of cream cheese. They tried to upsell me on an 8oz tub of cream cheese for 5 dollars. I said it is for one bagel?! I ended up buying 2 ounces of apple raisin and 2 ounces of jalapeño. When I got home, it was barely enough cream cheese. I don't even know why they sell one ounce. It's just ridiculous and expensive. But whatever, the bagels were tasty. They're just stingy with the cream cheese.

I'm glad I ran into this little spot. The bagels are enormous and the choices are so tasty. They also serve coffee and have various types of sandwiches here but the portion sizes are quite generous!

The egg and cheese was okay. The egg didn't have much seasoning even though I asked for salt and pepper. The bagel was pretty dense...kind of like it didn't get toasted. I tried the cold press coffee. It was pretty good!

Quality bagels, perfectly cooked bacon, wonderful customer service. Order ahead makes for a quick pick-up.
