About The Kettle Black

The Kettle Black is a popular bakery known for its high-quality food, especially its bagels, which are considered the best in Philly. The bagels are fluffy and soft inside but chewy outside, providing the best of both worlds. They are paired with excellent cream cheese, including popular flavors like bacon and onion or jalapeño. The bakery also offers delicious vegan options, such as cinnamon rolls and croissants. With a daily menu posted on Instagram, customers can plan ahead for their visit. The owners are super friendly and hardworking, making the experience even better. Following them on Instagram helps to know when to arrive early before items sell out quickly, usually around 10-11 am. Customers often wait in line, but the line moves fast, and the experience is worth it. The bakery also has a warm and welcoming laid-back space, with free street parking under the bridge nearby. In addition to bagels, customers highly recommend the beautiful flaky laminated pastries, cookies, and the chocolate chip cookie, which is described as ooey gooey perfection. Be prepared for a possible line and arrive early to ensure access to the popular items. This local gem is wheelchair accessible and continues to impress visitors with its high-quality baked goods.

Love The Kettle Black! Amazing vegan croissants, bagels & other treats! Their cold brew is always on point! Super friendly and talented folks!

The most decadent breakfast complements of The Kettle Black. Worth waiting in line at 8AM. Delicious light bagels, uniquely curated spreads, cinnamon bun was too die for…and overall favorite was the dark chocolate sea salt focaccia. Thanks for the great recommendations! A unique experience in Old City!
