Gabe's Bagels at Chester

The bagels and sandwiches are excellent, way above average. There's a good variety of spreads which are fresh and tasty. However, I'm not a fan of WB Law coffee, which they use, but that's personal preference and others may like it. The big issue I have with Gabe's is the lack of a proper cleaning policy administered by management. The place has only been open a few months and there's dirt and food scraps accumulating in every corner and crevice, clearly visible for customers to see in the front (see my pictures). That leads me to be concerned about how well the food preparation surfaces are cleaned and properly sanitized between shifts. Hopefully, management will see these and adjust their cleaning routines because I love the food, and would like to continue to go there, but seeing the sa

When I walk into a bagel shop and ask for lox and they immediately know what I mean, that’s how I know it’s a truly great spot. The service is fantastic, the bagels are always fresh, and they offer a bunch of different cream cheese options—scallion is my favorite. 🥯 The prices are fair, and honestly, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a bagel shop this clean!

A Hidden Gem for Bagel Lovers! I recently discovered Gabe's Bagels at Chester and I'm already planning my next visit! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how immaculately clean the store was - everything was sparkling. The service deserves special mention - quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. No long waits here, even during what seemed like a busy period. What truly stands out is their impressive selection of bagels. Everything looked fresh, and after trying their turkey bacon egg and cheese sandwich, I can confirm that "fresh" and "tasty" are understatements. The bagel had the perfect texture - crisp exterior with a chewy inside - and the fillings were generously portioned and flavorful. If you're in Chester and looking for a great breakfast or lunch spot, Gabe's Bagels

I couldn’t even wait to take a picture before digging in, that’s how good this bagel was! I mean, everything was seasoned perfectly — the egg, the avocado, the cheese, and that bagel? Absolute perfection. Chewy, fresh, and toasted just right. What really made the experience even better was the customer service. Everyone was super friendly and actually helpful — not just “smile and nod” helpful. There were so many great options to choose from, it was hard to decide (not a bad problem to have). Parking was easy, the wait was quick, and the whole vibe just made it worth coming back. Trust me — this place gets it right.

Hands down one of the BEST bagel shops around. The food is amazing, the staff is awesome, and the vibe is always great. The jalapeño cream cheese is next level—loaded with pickled, fresh, and crushed peppers for that perfect mix of tangy, tasty, and just the right amount of spicy. The people here are super friendly, and Omar is the real deal—such a gem. My kids love coming here too, so it’s become our weekend go-to spot (which is always a win for me). Can’t wait for my next bagel!
