About

Bagel ShopBreakfast RestaurantBakeryCafeManhattan Bagel
Made the Right Way. Every Day. There's a reason our bagels taste different--they're made the traditional way. At Manhattan Bagel, we give each bagel a dip in a kettle of boiling water, then bake them fresh each morning. That's how we get our authentic shiny bagels with a crispy, golden crust on the outside and that soft, satisfying chew inside. No shortcuts. Just real, authentic bagels made the way they were always meant to be. We kettle-boil our bagels to lock in that shine and crunch, then bake them fresh daily for a chewy, golden bite. No shortcuts, just the classic NY method - done right, right here, every day.

    I wish I could rate this place 0 star. The male employee is very rude and arrogant also lacks of working experience. Female employee is nice though. They can’t handle this restaurant well because they’re always out of this and that on the menu, food is not fresh at all. Don’t waste your money here!

    I’ve come here a few times because I work not far from here and have had pleasant experiences all the times I’ve been here. I usually get the strawberry banana smoothie and it’s always made really good. The store is always so clean, the man who usually takes my order is always very nice and helpful. Will definitely be back again.

    It seems like some of the older reviews may be based on prior ownership that has since changed. I enjoyed my visit here with friendly, fast service, a tasty breakfast sandwich, and fair prices. Some of the current staff came from our favorite location in Havertown and we were so glad to recognize them!

    Absolute rip off. My son bought a hot chocolate for $2.50 and they gave him a package of Swiss Miss and told him to get hot water behind him. Do not go here, there are much better options close-by just do a quick search and avoid this place. I tried reaching out to Manhattan Bagel and they never responded.
