Back Home Bagels Deli Bake Shop

The BEST bagels in the Valley. No other bagel shop compares. I drive 40 minutes round trip twice a week to get my breakfast sandwich. It?s worth the drive! Try it out.

While it may be a bit early to crown them as the Best Bagel in the Lehigh Valley (considering I've only visited three times), they are definitely strong contenders. Once I've spent more time back in the area, I might have a clearer opinion. My only feedback would be twofold: first, while they aren't slow, they could be quicker. I think they need to better prioritize in-store orders over take-out orders. Second, their bagels are so delicious that they should consider partnering with a delivery service to broaden their reach and make it more convenient for customers in the West End.

If you're in search of authentic bagels and breakfast sandwiches, it's worth the 30-minute drive to Jersey. However, be prepared for slow service; there are plenty of staff behind the counter, but they move at a glacial pace. It seems like the employees here have all the time in the world, so if you're in a rush to get to work, you might want to choose another spot.

Genuinely the best bagels I have ever had. I don't live in the area, but I would make the long distance drive just to have one of these bagels without any hesitation. I am not a morning person, but I wake up easily when I know I'm having a Back Home bagelfor breakfast.

This place is absolutely delicious, with a wide range of tempting options, and just by the hustle and bustle you can see at the front door, it’s clear that it’s a popular spot! They offer a huge selection of fresh bagels and sandwiches, and as a deli, they serve mouthwatering Boar's Head meats too! I ordered a ham, egg, and cheese on a freshly baked onion bagel, and it was fantastic! You can choose from bacon, sausage, pork roll, ham, and various other freshly sliced deli meats. They often have fun specials, like a s'mores bagel and a specialty cream cheese flavor of toasted marshmallow and graham crackers! Be sure to grab a menu when you arrive, as they include some coupons inside the insert. We can't wait to come back again! If you'd prefer not to wait long, it’s a good idea to call ahead. Personally, I don’t mind waiting; this is a well-run business!
