“There’s just something about watching your bagel being made right before your eyes. You know where it comes from, how fresh it is and how long it’s been sitting around (which is like five seconds at Spread).”

“I needed a caterer to impress for an important office breakfast and I only had two days before the big meeting day. Natalie and her team exceeded my expectations with an assortment of fresh bagels with all the fixings that would blow away even the most judgmental bagel snobs. Everything looked amazing and was so professionally handled from start to finish. I looked like a star and the experience was effortless. Everyone enjoyed the Deluxe Spread. People were talking about the homemade whitefish salad for days.”

“Tara is so sweet. I just love her smile and her style.”

“The woman behind the counter asked me if I was okay as she must have seen the sadness in my eyes. I was just laid off my job of 20 years and was feeling horrible which is why I decided to treat myself to my favorite – a sesame bagel with honey-pistachio cream cheese. She actually told me that my coffee was on the house which made me smile and for a few minutes, I had totally forgotten about the morning’s events.”

“Someone told me that your pastrami is from Carnegie Deli Who knew?!?! Man…that really surprises me as I’ve spent a lot of my life in NYC and the Carnegie Rubin just brought me back to a special time in life. It was so good on so many different levels.”

“I Love Spread. I can no longer eat bagels from anywhere else.”

“My wife and I have been going to Spread since 2010 when they opened their flagship location in Rittenhouse Square and it’s always been consistently good. The Standard (bacon, egg, and cheese) is probably the best I’ve ever had anywhere. It’s amazing on an everything bagel. We always bring out of town visitors here and they’re always in need of a nap after breakfast!” Go early (7:00 a.m.) to get the best selection and ask them to bag the savory bagels separate from the sweet ones.”
