Bart’s Bagels is a West Philly gem known for its deep golden bagels and indulgent sandwiches, like smoked salmon on a classic everything bagel.
"If you’ve taken a Saturday or Sunday morning drive down Lancaster Ave., you’ve seen crowds of people in front of Bart’s Bagels. From grabbing an everything topped with nova smoked salmon for breakfast to a classic reuben for lunch, there are plenty of reasons why the line outside is a fixture in the neighborhood. Their bagels are remarkably yeasty and deep golden brown, and since they smoke their fish in-house, they have a bagel sandwich (our favorite is the Uncle Leo) list that’s longer than any other shop in Philly." - candis mclean
"Bart’s in West Philly has been one of our go-to places to get a bagel since the small shop opened. Now, they’ve brought the same deep golden brown beauties to South Philly. Expect people lining up for classics like poppy bagels topped with scallion cream cheese and specialty sandwiches like reubens and tuna melts. " - candis mclean, alison kessler

"Brothers Brett and Kyle Frankel are baking crusty New York-style bagels at their West Philly shop. Get a baker’s dozen and a container of schmear to go, or try one of the sandwiches, like a classic bacon, egg, and cheese or a deli combo of pastrami-smoked salmon, scallion cream cheese, and cucumbers." - Ernest Owens, Eater Staff
