Finally made time to check this place out, WOW There's a line but it moves fast, great coffee and a warm and welcoming laid back space with delicious bagels and pastries/cookies.
I got the pretzel bagel with a special bacon and onion cream cheese šš¼šš¼ the bagel was fluffy and soft inside but chewy outside, best of both worlds. Could see ordering these or their regular pretzels to dip with homemade beer cheese or make sandwiches with them they have such great flavor. The chocolate chip cookie was Ooey gooey perfection with giant chunks of chocolate and a soft center. Beautiful flaky laminated pastries-- gah! Can't wait to go back and try their country sourdough (campagne) and sandwich bread calling to me from the shelves with their toasty tops. This is one of the best bakeries in Philly, hands down

Okay whoah. I wish I tried this spot earlier. Definitely the best bagels in the entire city IMO and their baked goods/pastries are just as amazing. Going to have to come back once a week from now on. Thoroughly impressed.

I am not an early riser, yet the one thing that will get me out of bed in the morning (with joy) is Kettle Black. Everything I have had from here is outstanding. I always try to get the everything bagel with jalapeƱo cream cheese, but if thatās sold out by the time Iām there (itās a popular item for a reason), I know there are a ton of different delicious options. Kettle Black doesnāt miss! Plus, the owners are super nice, friendly, hardworking, and patient. Donāt be intimidated by the line - it moves pretty quick and the food here is truly worth the (short) wait!

iām a born and raised NYer and thus a bagel snob. since discovering kettle blackās bagels i will no longer eat bagels in NY iām also a lactose intolerant and these bakers are so talented that their vegan pastries are so flaky and crunchy it doesnt make me feel like iām giving up quality to avoid a stomach ache.

Im back to my hometown visiting my daughter. She knows all of the best places. I got the everything chedder bagel. Best bagel I ever had and the cold brew was the perfect wake me up. You could tell the difference when everything is made with passion and love. Get there early though. The line grows fast.

Great bagels, but thatās it. Very long lines, not sure if worth the wait. Iād say yes, if youāre buying a dozen bagels but I wouldnāt do it again just to get one. Very restricted hours and tiny space to wait in line. Youāll bond with the person in front of you in line.

My oh my the pretzel bagel was divine!! I got mine toasted with garlic chive cream cheese and it was so delicious! Had to eat it right away while it was fresh š The cheddar bagel was amazing too, which paired perfectly with the jalapeno cream cheese. Also got the vegan cruffin and pretzel pain au chocolat for my vegan friends and they said these were the best pastries theyāve ever had, no notes. Even on a foggy rainy morning the line was out the door and they sold out at 9:45. You can really tell how adored they are by everyone in the community
Best bagel Iāve tried!! Their bagels have a softer texture compare to other placesā. My favorite is the pretzel bagel but honestly everything is great and worth trying. Thereās usually a line before the store is even open, but I figured the wait is the shortest if you come Thursday after 9 am.

The bagels are amazing and delicious. They have a great crust and texture. The baguette is also very tasty. The pretzels are great for sandwiches or stand alone. Highly recommend this bakery, as all their goods are top quality. Come early.
