I was a little apprehensive about visiting Kismet because there was one bad review listed below that gave me pause. However, when I walked by, there were clear displays of LGBTQ flags, so I stopped and gave them a chance, and I'm glad I did. There were three different vegan bagels, and a vegan cream cheese. I tried the everything bagel and vegan cream cheese and it was quite good. I also asked about the 2 vegan bialys, and the server wrapped them up for me to take home and try later. The service was very friendly. When I inquired about non-dairy options for the coffee, while they didn't have any, they were able to direct me to a nearby location that did (and hook me up with a discount!).

Please give Sameya a raise! When I got in line at the reading terminal, it was about 15 people in line and the other girl was not handling the line well. She was just moving extremely slow. Sameya must have been picking up bagels because she was unloading when she got back but when she came back she cleared the line in less than 10 minutes with ease! Very impressive! Treat her right!

Handful of vegan bialy flavors and one vegan sauce. Enjoyed the caramelized onion flavor
We had a quick walk at Reading Terminal Market and stumbled upon a bialys stand! It is owned by Kismet Bagels and I was instantly drawn by its cute logo, pink storefront and bialys selection.＊Caramelized Onion Bialy (vegan)They have some interesting bialy flavors like Buffalo Chicken, Pastrami and BEC, but we opted for a more classic flavor.It was fully covered by generous amount of poppy seeds. When we were eating, some people saw our bialy and also felt amazed. The center was stuffed with caramelised onion sprinkled with sea salt. They reheated the bialy for us so it was served warm.I swear I’ll bring a bag to carry their bialys, and run to their bagel shops in Fishtown and Rittenhouse next time!
Very good. I went two days in a row. Dude working on Monday gave me great service. Looks like Judith and Kris (below with one star reviews of Kismet) only know how to give out one star reviews per their profiles.

Just ordered an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. Had to post because even though bagels aren’t their specialty, it was perfect ! Staff were very friendly as well.

This place has some good breakfast for if you wanna sit down or on the go this place beats any other Bialy not in New York City because you just can't beat New York when it comes to bagels but this is the best outside of New York. New York Bagels just cannot be beat people even Montreal bagels don't compare to New York Bagels.

So my partner was just unfairly fired after 2 years of working at Kismet with no notice. She had been job searching for months because the working conditions there have becoming unbearable. She was the only employee getting paid what the original rate was and when other employees found out from talking with her she was warned and told to not discuss pay. Which is illegal btw! Several queer/trans employees were unfairly fired. One employee was fired due to being late when her car had broken and she was relying on the bus system to get there. They have cut corners on quality and procedures because they care more about turning a profit but somehow they can afford a Porsche!!! Jake and Alex Cohen are nepo babies and this is their third business the other two failed. There is constant turnover because the working conditions are unacceptable and people are fired left and right. I made a post on my instagram about it at CVT_222 if you guys can run it up and share it! There is so much more I could say but my partner has all the receipts and documentation of what has been going on over there. BOYCOTT KISMET BAGELS
