Chestnut Street Philly Bagels

So good! I now know why there's always a line here on Saturday mornings. The bagels are the type I really love: nice crunch on the outside when toasted, but chewy on the inside. They also coat both sides of the bagels (like with an everything bagel), so you get the maximum flavor. The flavors are great too!

This place has the best bagels and the freshest cream cheese. When we visited Philly, it was so highly recommended and we loved it so much, we ate here almost every morning. When we went back, we also bought some for the flight as well. They're that good! Note: Visited prior to COVID, so things may be different.

Pretty decent bagel spot. Certainly not the best that I've ever had, but it was flavorful enough (everything bagel), toasted just right and was not swimming in butter. The size was also perfect. It wasn't a gigantic bagel that I usually get, but that's a good thing. Had plenty of options for sandwiches, although those started to get a bit expensive. As it was, a bagel with butter ran me $2.75. Also had plentiful drink options including bottled beverages and your varied coffee selections. I'm not a cream cheese guy, but they probably had a dozen flavors of cream cheese as well. Inside of the shop is a little tight but they kept it moving. There were 6-8 people ahead of me in varying states of waiting/ordering, and we were all out in 5 minutes or less. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area.

They're quick, courteous, and efficient. I'd come in this October morning to get two dozen bagels and varying accompanying spreads to bring to my office for my birthday, but I'd brought with me a coupon that I'd wondered would cause me grief at the register. They moved me right along with no trouble and I was able to bring my birthday bagels to the office on time. Everyone in the office thoroughly enjoyed the bagels and agreed that these are some of the, if not THE best bagels in the city. I'm glad that I've added this eatery to my circle of breakfast destinations.

Nice little bagel place. Pretty straightforward when it comes to ordering your food. They have a lot of different bagels to choose from, and cream cheeses. If you want your basic breakfast sandwich you got it! But don’t expect a full course breakfast. Really good food and staff is nice. Very fast service. The reason why I gave 4 stars is because pretty small, not lit very well. If you haven’t been there before you will surely miss it.

Philadelphia is in desperate need of a good bagel spot. These guys are solid. The bagels are of average size, and the spreads and bagel sandwiches taste pretty good. By no means will this place blow your socks off, but they crank the bagels out pretty quickly, and it is a consistent place for me to stop on my way to work.
