Malt-boiled bagels, unique sandwiches like Ramen Thing
"Verdict: This is the bagel place in Philadelphia right now, and the lengthy line out front backs that statement up. But the taste memory of your last onion bialy with housemade whitefish or Ramen Thing sandwich will get you through the 20 minute wait before you can claim your next one. 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
"We often wake up wanting a bagel or bialy with as much puff as a small pillow. If you relate, head to Cleo Bagels. They bake classics like poppy, everything, and sesame that you can top with whitefish, house peanut butter, or scallion cream cheese. But it’s their signature sandwiches that really show off Cleo's tendency to go all mad scientist (in the best way). The Ramen Thing is our favorite of the combos. It layers 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—but less messy. 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
"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
"We all know breakfast for dinner is a thing, but what about dinner (flavors) for breakfast? That’s what this West Philly bagel shop has created with The Ramen Thing. An airy bagel of your choice gets stacked with a soy sauce marinated egg, pickled ginger, bamboo, togarashi mayo, nori crisps, and scallions. It stays as intact as a cartoon character’s hair, with sliced boiled eggs holding everything together, sans side spillage. Each bite is slightly sweet, salty, and full of the umami punch that makes a bowl of ramen so good. 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
