Manhattan Bagel

Eh … Not impressed. I was anticipating more. The bagels were good, and there was a wide variety of flavors so that’s a big plus. Service was friendly enough and fast.
I ordered jalapeño everything bagel with veggie CC and added lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. They were happy to accommodate but not without extra charge. I get it, extra stuff means extra $$. No prob. But heres where’s it’s whack, jack …
There was a weak Amount of CC on it. I don’t need a lot necessarily but you shouldn’t be dissembling a bagel to find it. Further, I had exactly one piece of lettuce, one slice of tomato, and 2 slices of cucumber (one on each half after it was cut) on this thing. That is just cheap. I paid for the veggies so cmon. Plus the tomato was nearly translucent. Overall I had a mediocre breakfast and probably won’t bother going back. Meh.

We have been eating here for years. Along with Einstein bagel it is the only decent bagel place in North Wilmington or maybe even DE. It’s not that same as a NYC bagel but close enough. Staff is very friendly and efficient. Egg bagel sandwiches are made to order and fresh. Good menu variety. Decent Pastrami sandwich which is rare in DE. Thanks for being in DE, Manhattan bagel. It’s a Jewish food desert here.

Here all the time for breakfast & lunch. Quick service & very friendly people. Havent had a bad experience yet & service is consistent. Tried most of the menu everything is great

Very similar to Einstein Bros Bagels, and as fellow reviewer Morton F mentioned they have an interesting history together (thanks for leading me down the Wikipedia rabbit hole Morton).
Met my basic expectations for a bagel chain, but not much more. Personally I would’ve preferred Einstein Bros. My group split a variety of bagels. We had a jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese, an egg and cheese on an jalapeño everything bagel and a spinach bagel with lox. The bagels themselves were unimpressive, the jalapeño bagel was tough and the spinach bagel did not come close to the same from from EB. The lox cream cheese also had a fluffy, whipped quality that was somewhat off-​putting. The egg and cheese was nice enough, but lacked the extra flavor to stand out and was ultimately forgettable. The highlight was the iced tea, which was particularly good. The other major positive was the staff. They were very friendly and helpful.
Overall, nothing was horrible or bad but nothing was really that good either. I’d go back in a pinch but I’ll be looking elsewhere for my regular bagel fix.

NoI’ve only eaten at this location once and that was enough. First off I ordered two bagels one with cream cheese and the other a turkey Sandwich. I got to work ate the first bagel. It was good. When lunch time came around I opened my second bagel and it was the wrong order in the bag. It was another bagel with cream cheese. I was annoyed because I was at work and could not exchange it plus I paid for a turkey sandwich. Anyway I started to eat the second bagel and decided to open it up and look at the inside. A big hair was laying across my bagel. So grossed out pitched the bagel and will never go back to this place again

Very good everything bagel with pork roll/​taylor ham, egg, and cheese. The bagel could have had more salty-​garlicky-​everything goodness, but overall this was great. The coffee was likewise very good. RVA needs more proper Bagel joints like this. I further love that they boil & bake on the premises, (very fresh), and they open at 5:30 AM for us early risers.

This is the closest you’ll get to a deli in North Wilmington (which is kinda sad). Manhattan Bagel has a great selection of tasty bagels (from Jalapeño Cheddar to Honey Whole Wheat) and matching spreads. Their coffee choices should also be noted (always fresh). They usually have coupons floating around; keep an eye out for those. Staff is patient with my indecisive mother (who always has a frequent buyer card from 10+ years ago).

Was in the mood for a good bagel and a friend of mine suggested Manhattan Bagel. I was in high hopes when I saw how busy they were for a rainy Saturday morning. The girls working the counter just seemed to be there to do their job, not rude by any means but not friendly either. They have a nice menu with a variety of breakfast and lunch options. I got a jalapeño cheddar toasted with low fat cream cheese and a jalapeño everything to bring home. The cream cheese was gritty, not very appetizing. The flavor of the bagel itself was alright but for a place called Manhattan Bagel it did not seem like a New York bagel at all. It was the same texture of something you would get at other chains like Dunkin or Panera. Probably won’t go out of my way to visit again but if I’m in the area I may give them another shot since they do have a variety of bagel flavors.

I’m from Manhattan. I’ve been fortunate to have had some good bagels. This place isn’t even close. These were so disappointing I didn’t even eat it. I didn’t want to waste the calories. The texture was hard. Not in a good dense bread way either. Flat on flavors. We didn’t eat anything else there, so I can’t comment on their food. But after we bought 2 dozen for a big family get together breakfast, I didn’t even want to eat a half. So, I felt compelled to write this review. I don’t usually like make negative comments. But, I would have liked the heads up myself.

This Manhattan Bagel is in a small strip mall along US-​202 northbound and may be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it. Parking does not seem adequate but there is a small lot at the north end of the strip mall. The menu looks similar to Einstein Brothers, which is not a surprise because the two chains have the same parent company. Prices are similar to Einstein Bros too, i.e. a bit on the upscale side. However, they do sometimes have email coupons.
The biggest downside to this location is it’s small and cramped. Everyone keeps getting in each other’s way and it’s hard to get a table during the breakfast rush. This doesn’t seem as much of a problem at Einstein Bros.

This is the only place in Delaware, north of the canal, to get a good bagel. Breakfast sandwich is quality — grill is right there… everything is fresh, and real. My teen aged daughter likes to go to another «chain» bagel shop a few miles away. Not sure why because they use a microwave to reheat the eggs for sandwiches.
This place does it the right way.

Haven’t been on since they opened this location. My first impression was awful. No one knew what they were doing, and asking for a simple iced coffee took close to 20 mins to make. Not to mentioned they made it wrong.

The bagels here are great. My favorite thing is definitely the turkey bacon and egg white bagel thin which is very filling and tasty for only 300 calories. The muffins and pastries are also delicious. The only issue I have with this place is it gets pretty crowded and it can be kind of slow – otherwise everything I have had is really good.
