Bart’s Bagels - South Philadelphia

This place was great! I love that the bagels are made fresh in house. I got the everything bagel with the veggie cream cheese as well as the cinnamon raisin bagel with the blueberry cream cheese and both were AMAZING! They also have a cute little outside seating area and although today was too cold we’ll definitely be checking it out in the spring. This place was totally worth checking out.

Love this location and their seating area. Owner and staff are very chill and attentive, but also very kind! I have ordered everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, cinnamon raisin bagel, and onion bagel. These were great, though I kind of wish the cinnamon raisin bagel had a tad more raisin (I know… I’m strange). The cream cheese is different for sure and I’m not used to it… it’s not bad, but i feel like it tastes a bit salty? I like the sodium in cream cheese to be little less noticeable, though maybe that’s just my own preference. Either way, it’s a great bagel spot with kick ass coffee. I’m rooting for this business!

Bart’s is the best! Delicious bagels, sandwiches, spreads, and side options. Their south Philly store features a nice, open entryway with a big menu on the side listing all their current bagel types. Sadly, their everything egg bagels were sold out because of the current eggsanity happening here in the US. Instead, I got a sausage, egg, and cheddar sandwich on their weekly special of a garlic-oregano bagel. It was delicious! I also ordered a hashbrown and what turned out to be one of the most delicious brown butter chocolate chip cookies I’ve ever had! Highly recommend! The outside also featured a nice patio sitting area, but it was a bit too cold and windy to enjoy it. Everyone at the store was delightful and helpful with all my questions. Can’t wait to go back again!

I’ve searched high and low to find the best bagel in Philly and I finally found it! As a Jersey boy I know good bagels, as a kid we had a Jewish bakery around the corner and we would get bagels from there every Sunday. Bart’s brings back that old nostalgic feeling. The bagel is crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Their cream cheeses are top tier! Also if you like chicken salad their chicken sale club is great and so is their tuna chip! If you want an old school bagel this is your spot!

It’s becoming my weekend ritual to come here and eat a lox cream cheese bagel and cold brew. The staff is great, and their system for the pick up counter seems to work efficiently! The outside patio is so nice when there is an open spot. See you all next Saturday! ❤️🥯

Walking by and was surprised to see two people making bagels right there in the window, so of course I had to go in. Sesame bagel was chewy and delicious. Tofu cream cheese was very bland, some places try harder with scallions or spices but this was just whipped tofu. OUTDOOR seating only.

We were excited to learn that all Bart's varieties (except egg) are vegan. They also have vegan (tofu) cream cheese which is delicious. We picked up an assortment of bagel varieties for a family brunch. The egg variety is only available on the weekends as of now. The service was friendly and quick. Our guests agreed that Bart's bagels were fresh, nicely crunchy and delicious. There is some outdoor seating seasonally in the back.

The smoked turkey with avocado and red onions is delicious! Everything was fresh. The avocado spread was amazing. Service was quick. Bart's is a must try!! And the servings are generous, go hungry!!

We're big fans of Bart's--both locations are great, you can't go wrong. The food is always delicious and the service is great, always friendly and efficient even when they're busy. The mortadella sandwich is our new favorite... highly recommend!

As a born and raised New Yorker, I feel like I'm qualified to say that Barts has the best bagels in PHL. Plus great cold brew. And this new addition to QV is so welcome! The food is just as great as the West Philly location and they have an adorable outdoor eating area as well. It's a winner!

My partner is a classic New Yorker bagel snob and has been on the hunt for the best bagel in Philly. At its best, Bart's Bagels is that place. We stopped by a few days after they opened and our bagels were really, really good. The texture was that perfect mix of crisp exterior and chewy, dense interior, and the bagels were uniformly shaped. We were really thrilled. The fun cream cheese flavors (long hot cream cheese!) were an added bonus. Unfortunately, the last time we went, our bagels were both a little undercooked, so they were too dense and kind of tough in the middle. I also ordered a sesame and an everything bagel, and the order ticket had the bagels listed correctly, but when we opened the bag at home, we had two sesame bagels. The little patio seating area is cute - just note that one of the tables is underneath the exhaust vent, so if they're making bagels while you're there, the table does get toasty!

Cute shop serving solid bagel sandwiches, especially for Philly. Coming from Jersey, I wasn't blown away by the bagels but wasn't disappointed either. Service was friendly. They don't have any indoor seating, but they do have an outdoor patio for the warmer weather. Pricing for an egg and cheese is around $5.50 and sandwiches with smoked fish are $12+ depending on the toppings. My friends who got smoked fish/fish salads were very satisfied. They also have monthly specials.

Hands down my favorite bagels in the city. Such a good selection of Shamar's and bagels (egg, egg everything, pumpernickel, pumpernickel everything). Order ahead to skip the line!

After about a year of sending prayers to the Big Man upstairs, he finally answered. A QUALITY BAGEL IN SOUTH PHILLY?! GOD STEPPED IN! I couldn't take anymore of The Bagel Place. One's soul can only take so many mid bagels, rude service, and bad coffee. It got to the point where my girlfriend and I started making our own bagels on Sunday mornings. When she sent me an IG of this place announcing Bart's opening in the area, my hopeless optimism took the wheel. We entered on a Friday morning, and right when we walked in I knew the good lord had answered my prayers of quiet desperation: You can see them cooking up fresh bagels, it smells like a quintessential bagel shop in NY, employees actually smile and engage with you a bit, and the coffee is good. We got our order after 5 minutes and sat outside on the patio. My GFs cheese pull on the BEC was actually legendary. One of the best cheese pulls I've seen this decade. Orgasmic. My dumbass got turkey bacon, and it's just so much less satisfying than actual bacon. There is no crunch on turkey bacon smh. But that's on me not on Bart's. I gotta take responsibility. Idk why I thought I was being healthy. No way turkey bacon is that much better for you than actual bacon... Lessons. The Everything Bagel was fantastic. A crispy toast on the outside, with a doughy interior that made me give an audible "DAMN!" Best bagel I've had in Philly, no question. Thank you for blessing us, Bart's. You are the oasis in the South Philly Bagel desert. The light in the bagel abyss. Ig @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov_reviews

Every few months, I feel like rediscover my love for bagels and start craving them every day for an indeterminate amount of time. Lox bagels are such a treat, and I usually go for either an everything or sesame bagel!! I've been wanting to try Bart's for a while, and I'm so glad they opened up in South Philly closer to me. My favorite is the classic lox sando with nova smoked salmon, scallion cream cheese (a must), tomato, red onion, and capers. Typically I go with an everything bagel, but not before looking at the monthly special bagels (the rosemary salt bagel...amazing). The outdoor seating area is also nice. Definitely my favorite bagel spot in Philly!

Very nice bagels. Special cream cheeses are a must, we loved the long hots cream cheese. Best to place an order online then pick up for faster service. Will be trying the sandwiches next.

Bagels and cream cheese were both very fresh! Only reason a star off is because I ordered a salt bagel (I know that's different) and there wasn't any salt on it expect a couple flakes; the rest melted in. The elixir coffee was the star! Service was good and fast paced environment, which I love.

Very friendly service and delicious hot bagel with plenty of bacon! So filling , will definitely go back ! Really enjoyed the outside seating as well.

This place absolutely rips. Amazing bagels. Easily the best I've had to date in Philly Hot apple cider was really good and overall this was definitely worth the wait. Couldn't recommend the whitefish highly enough

Got a bacon egg and cheddar on everything bagel and was supposed to get a pork roll egg and cheese on pumpernickel everything bagel but they made it WRONG and they made it with a regular everything bagel. Idk if it was this batch of bagels or what but they were really tough and hard to chew I almost dislocated my jaw. Flavor was okay. Service was average. Seating outside only.

Absolutely disgusting smoked salmon: untrimmed, stringy, impossible to bite through. Made me actuallly gag. Also ordered a toasted bagel. Got an absolutely not toasted in any way bagel. Gross, inedible, full waste of money and time.

I had been eagerly anticipating the opening of Bart's Bagels for months. I work on Market Street and pass by it every morning, growing more excited each day for my eventual Bacon, Egg, and Cheese bagel. I noticed it had opened about a month ago, but today was the first chance I had to stop in with my boyfriend. We arrived at 11:15 AM and were immediately struck by how nice the vibes were inside, even though it was busy. The shop smelled great, and the menu looked delicious. There wasn't much of a line, but the place was full of people waiting, some even spilling outside. I ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheddar, and my boyfriend got the Bagel of the Week: a simple Salt and Pepper Bagel with butter. The total was $15, including a tip--not bad given how prices have gone up. The young lady at the counter was very nice, but after we paid, one of the workers told us it would be 15-20 minutes for our order. This was disappointing, and it would have been nice to know before we paid, but it wasn't the end of the world. We decided to wait outside, chat, and play our NYT games, appreciating the jug of chilled water left out for customers. After about 10 minutes, we moved back inside, assuming our order would be ready soon. However, five minutes turned into ten, and ten turned into twenty. We noticed a constant stream of DoorDash orders being prepared and picked up, with drivers often told their food would be ready in a few minutes, which sometimes turned into 5-10 minutes. This is disrespectful to their time, as waiting for an order that should be ready costs them money. The overwhelming feeling was that the workers were overwhelmed by the DoorDash orders, leading to excessive wait times for both drivers and walk-in customers like us. We watched as our bag sat on the counter with one bagel ready, waiting for the other. Then, we saw them put a new bag in front of ours, meaning it would be even longer before we got our food--and by then, one of our bagels would be cold, as it had been done almost 30 minutes ago. At this point, I walked out while my boyfriend asked the workers to toss our food, even though I hate wasting food. As someone who worked in food service throughout high school and college, I'm extremely sympathetic to how brutal the Sunday mid-morning rush can be. But if a shop can't keep up with the volume of DoorDash and pick-up orders, they should pause incoming orders. Waiting more than 35 minutes for two bagels is ridiculous and shameful. I'm sad that I wasted $15 on nothing, but I'll be saving all the money I would have spent there in the future.

Love Barts. Great Bagels, excellent challah on fridays. Best chicken salad I've ever had.

Excellent bagels and excellent customer service. So happy to have Bart's in Queen Village!

The bagels are probably the best bagels I've ever had in Philly coming from a Connecticut girl myself - The service works are always so nice and friendly!! The recognize the regulars & I absolutely love how they have room for an outdoor area seating place.

best bagels in Philadelphia without a doubt . the service is great . the sandwiches are great . the bagels and schmears are amazing . dont sleep on Bart's
