NYC-style bagels, custom cakes, pastries, cookies, and hand pies
"This East Passyunk bakery sells things like peach danishes, cookies, and almond croissants, but one of the main reasons to head here is for the selection of New York-style bagels that are baked in-house daily. You can order ahead of time or stop by the shop and check out the specials on the massive chalkboard in the window. They have flavors like cheddar, salt and pepper, and za'atar, which thankfully you can buy in bulk. The bagels here are big, golden-brown and have a shiny crust, and with scallion, candied orange, and dill cream cheeses, there are lots of ways to make each bite silky smooth, savory or sweet." - candis mclean, alison kessler
"Bonnie Sarana’s East Passyunk bakery has something for everyone, including sweet and savory, but her bagels are out of this world. Try a za’atar bagel with jalapeño cream cheese for a real-deal flavor experience." - Ernest Owens
