Manhattan Bagel

I totally forget about this manhattan bagel. I went in and grabbed a delicious pumpkin bagel with pumpkin cream cheese and a pumpkin coffee (yes, i’m that girl)
It was all very yummy. The ordering system/​line was a little confusing to me but I eventually figured it out and I’m happy to know that good breakfast sandwiches and bagels are just around the corner!

Excellent coffee. Really enjoy the hazelnut blend. Long lines on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Place gets hot with lots of customers and tons of cooking, too. Service has been consistently all right. An A-​OK place for me.

This place is the pits! It’s filthy, the help is pathetic… how many times do you have to repeat yourself NOT TO TOAST THE BAGEL ! Doesn’t matter as they turn around and there it goes, right in the toaster… None of the help wants to be there, nor does the nasty woman who owns the place. Do yourself a favor and drive to New York Bagel on City & Haverford age for real bagels… Manhattan sucks!

No major complaints other then them being overpriced. They tend to be busy on the weekends and in the mornings but they have a large variety of bagels. Sometimes there low on my favorite ones but it hasn’t gotten to the point where I don’t want to buy food from here.

I’ve given this place chance after chance to get it right and they have yet to do so. Their service is incredibly slow. They get the order wrong as much as they get it right. They ask for you to call ahead of time but often don’t pick up the phone. When you do successfully call ahead you still have to wait in their long lines and put up with their slow service. Incredibly annoying. AND their staff is usually disgruntled.
It’s a shame because the food, when the order is right, is pretty good.

I’ve visited this location several times. I never visit before 9 am during a work week or after Sunday church services.
There was no line and an employee that accepted my order cheerily. I ordered the classic egg white omelet sandwich on a thin bagel. He offered choices of bread and meat and waited patiently for my response.
The sandwich was hot and perfectly cooked. The coffee was hot and very good… I drink it black!!!
As I was leaving, two post 70 year old women were struggling to draw coffee from the pump-​action container. An employee other then the one that prepared my breakfast sandwich, promptly assisted.
Unfortunately, no towels in the men’s room is a one star deduction.
I will return.

I finished work and made my way over to Manoa Shopping area for some items at the Super fresh. I figured why not, I’m here and they are there lets grab a bakers dozen with some spreads to surprise the family. Yes I saw the reviews, saw the ratings, but in the past (6 yrs ago past) they have always done right by me.
I came in Sunday morning a little after 8 ish for a bakers dozen of what I thought was going to be fresh bagels. There was maybe 2 other couples in there with a unsatisfied look on their face, again I wasn’t going to be phased by this because of past experiences. I walked up to the displays, but noticed it was almost bare, to the point where it looked like they got wiped out by a hungry mob. The counter was filthy, a few bagels, no specialty bagels were ready, the spreads looked were down to regular cream cheese, along with a strawberry spread.
The coffee wasn’t replenished, it was luke warm with no taste to it no matter how many sugars I added. The crew looked like they just went through a drinking binge last night. Death on feet it looked like, non compliant, no answers to when more bagels, fresh bagels would be ready.
How is it early in the morning your displays are almost bare, and this was a little after 8 am. I should have just listened to the reviewers on this, along with the expressions of the others in here.
I should have gone to Delancy Street Bagels in Wynnewood and stand in line. There I know they are always baking with more selections of spreads, hummus, lox plus a better selection of freshest brewed coffee to go with.

You walk into Manhattan Bagel in Havertown, and it is eerily quiet.
The people behind the counter appear to possibly be doing time for some crime against bread somewhere, because that would be the only reason to be so miserable while serving bagels.
The bagels are better than Dunkin’ Donuts for sure, but I will drive the mile for DD rather than go here unless I can’t get the need for everything bagels to leave me. Then I will venture into the Land of Misfit Breakfast and try again. But I’ll eat it in my car.

I’ll give them credit, their bagels are decent. Otherwise, service meh, and cleanliness meh. It’s close so for some quick bagels I’ll suffer through the other issues. Don’t go out of your way to come here.

I agree with Mark service, and cleanliness are crap with this place. And in surprising fashion there are literally no other bagel places in Havertown or close to it so this place is busy. I gave this place another star simply on the fact the bagels are decent but without a coupon and without a serious upgrade of customers and customer service this place coudl close for all I care.

Only reason why I go there is it’s the only bagel shop around. Service is poor!
The manager is a foreigner, and has no concept of customer service.
