The 12 Best Bagels In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation

"If you want a bagel or bialy with as much puff as a small pillow, head to West Philly’s Cleo Bagels. The small shop has people lining up for their big, doughy creations. They have seeded classics like poppy and everything, but their signature sandwiches showcase their creativity. The Ramen Thing is the perfect layering of marinated egg, pickled ginger, bamboo, togarashi mayo, seaweed crisps, and scallions, all on a bagel of your choice. Each bite is slightly sweet, salty, and has everything that makes a brothy bowl of ramen so great—while being much handier. Come here for a morning cup of coffee, a few Apple Thing pastries, and bagels you’ll want to eat down to the last crumb. Avoid a Saturday or Sunday morning if you can. They're open seven days a week, and as early as 7:30am, Monday - Friday. You'll find you can walk right in for a sandwich on those afternoons." - candis mclean, alison kessler
