"Everyone has a favorite bagel place in the city, and for Fishtown, Philly Style Bagels is it. It’s a small corner spot off Frankford that offers plump baked beauties that are also boiled in beer, which we think makes them a little more flavorful and, well, “Philly Style”. You can get your bagel topped with classic lox, spreads like smoked salmon or strawberry cream cheese, but they also have running specials like pizza bagels that will please your inner fourth grader and your taste buds at the same time." - Candis R. McLean
"There’s lots of bagel and lox sandwiches in Philly — but it’s something about the chewy, crusty sensation of the Philly Style Bagel that takes this over the top. The finest cream cheese, cured salmon, cucumber, tomato and red onion makes this simple, yet tasty, sandwich superior." - Annemarie Dooling
"The Fishtown bagel shop was an immediate hit when it opened in 2016, so much so that it expanded with a second location in Old City. The bagels, perfectly firm on the outside and soft inside, are boiled in beer from nearby Yards Brewing Company — can’t get much more Philly than that. Go early or preorder; the shops can sell out." - Ernest Owens

"Everyone has a favorite bagel place in the city, and one of ours is Philly Style Bagels in Fishtown. It’s a small corner spot off Frankford that usually has a line out the door on most weekend mornings. Their bagels aren’t the big fluffy kind you’ll find elsewhere— they’re a bit smaller and, in our opinion, that makes them more flavorful. The bagels are also boiled in beer, which we’re assuming is what makes them “Philly style.” Well, as long as they’re boiled in Yuengling." - Candis Mclean, Team Infatuation
