Ressler's Bagel & Deli

I was waiting in the car for my 17yo daughter to pick up bagels for her employer for her first time-my daughter called me on my phone for help- she was carrying 2 large bags of bagels in each arm & a bag was left on the counter with no offer from the several employees standing around to help…she then proceeded to tell me that because she was sent with $80($4 short-an honest mistake)that the older female cashier had charged her personal card $119, with little explanation. A $39 UPCHARGE!! We stood back in line, but when we asked if the $119 could be refunded and I could pay the extra $4, the cashier refused to reverse the charge. I asked for a manager and she was very dismissive and said he wasn’t in store & refused to exchange a phone number. This is horrifying that a small business would do this to another small business, let alone make a minor feel so incompetent over $4! I hoped the situation would ultimately be rectified by the manager, but it wasn’t! I’m not surprised there are other similar comments about this employee under reviews, I will not be back & I’ll be sure to warn everyone I can!!!

5 stars for the bagel, the actual bagel is really good. The strawberry cream cheese is mid, very fake strawberry tasting i give that 2 stars. The cranberry muffin is ok. Now let's talk about the older guy that works there. Your customers shouldn't see you disgruntled with an employee. I was in there 20 min before you were closing, you should wait until everyone's gone or not within hearing distance to complain about an employee and then tell them to leave. No matter the situation, handle it more professionally.

This is an easy review to write. Pay attention.

THERE IS NO BETTER PLACE IN CENTRAL PA TO GRAB A BAGEL OR BREAKFAST SANDWICH!

The bagels are incredible. The atmosphere is comfortable with no non-sense. You order your bagel, grab some coffee, and enjoy. It's simple. There are no annoying punch-cards, long menus, trendy coffee orders, or annoying over-the-top fake happiness. There is only good food, good service, and unbelievable consistency.

I relocated to Tennessee in 2011, but when I visit family Pennsylvania, this is one of the places that I visit. I started coming here around 2001 and got hooked. As far as I can tell, they have not changed since then, and that’s GREAT news. (Somehow Joe still recognizes me as a semi-anonymous but familiar face after all these years.)

Let’s talk about this place….Because if you’re not coming here for breakfast, what are you doing???

I’m from New York, but I’ve been in Pennsylvania for about 6 years now. Best bagels outside of NY that I’ve ever had.

I come here when I’m feeling homesick, it instantly feels like I’m back in NY walking in and the food is legendary.
(Also, thank YOU for a true NY portion of cream cheese, these other places out here just don’t get it) 😁🤣
