This place is crazy good. I didn't understand what he meant when my food-obsessed friend said their bagels were the best. They're just the right level of chewy, and the flavor is a nice addition without being overpowering. They also have really good cream cheese. Only gotcha: you have to get there at opening, they're usually sold out by 10.

The food is always fresh! (open Thursdays through Sunday) Definitely check out their instagram for their daily menu. Makes sense there is usually a line outside because the food is excellent quality. Best bagels in philly (for real) The vegan cinnamon roll was delicious and I am looking forward to getting it again (please keep this on the menu)! I will be back to try the vegan croissants!My only suggestion is they should use the little window at the door to place orders so people can wait in line with their dog. Dogs and other pets are not allowed inside and since there is no seating inside anyway, this would allow dog owners to visit more often.

The best bakery for the chewiest, yummiest bagels (special shout out to the delicious green Eagles themed bagels) and tasty French pastries with inventive twists. Super friendly owners. Necessary to follow on instagram for live updates of the daily menu and when they’ve sold out.

Surprised to see a line out the door when I arrived. People are patient and the service is good. I got myself some baguette, a bagel sandwich and a cheese and fennel focaccia. Very aromatic and made my day. Recommend!

Lovely baked goods. They do a few things best in the city. By name - bread, bagles, croissants, and morning buns.Carry on McDuff feel good about what you do.
The best pastries and breads available in Philly can be purchase here. The daily inventory tends to sell out in an hour or two, so arrive at opening hour.

Some of the best bagels and croissants I’ve ever had! My husband and I travel from NJ just to get these and stock up!! I would be here every week if I could!

We heard about The Kettle Black while talking to and older and well traveled gentleman in line for Her Place Supper Club. He loves baguettes, especially when in France, and he said the only bakery in town that gets baguettes right is The Kettle Black. So we had to go. And we weren't disappointed at all. This is one couple who churn out some of the best bagels, croissants, pretzels (cause Philly), and baguettes in town. Their kouign amann is top three baked item I've ever put in my mouth.If you're going to go, and suggest you go, please do your homework. They sell out just about every day they are open. So know their hours, get in line before they open, and be prepared for goodness.

The bagels are fantastic. They’re just the right size and they always have interesting flavors. The real hits are the croissants and pan au chocolat which are easily the best you’ll get in the city. Always get there early!

Having lived closely to KB, I don’t think people know how lucky they are to have this micro bakery in this neighborhood. Claire and Marc are personable, caring, and kind. You can LITERALLY taste the love they put into every single item that they make. Me and my fiancée’s go-to’s are the bagels, the chocolate croissants, cinnamon buns, and funfetti croissants. They are AMAZING!! No other pastry has been able to compare since we’ve started going to KB on a weekly basis. One of my favorite parts of the bagels are that they freeze SO WELL!! Seriously- buy a dozen and keep them around. They reheat amazingly and are phenomenal toasted. Please go here and support this lovely place! You cannot go wrong! Thank you Claire and Marc! We love you ?
