"Honestly, most amazing bagels. I am from NY and getting a good bagel out here was nearly impossible. Their bagels are fresh and tasty, they have the good cream cheese, and their SMOOTHIES ARE TO DIE FOR! Really if you are looking for. fabulous tasting smoothie made with care and excitement (really, the gentleman who made it loves making them), this is the place to go for them. Prices are reasonable (from the store, if you order on Door Dash it's always going to be more expensive, go to the store). They also have adorable doggie bagels that if my dogs could talk they would rave about them." - 8/10 Daniella H, Yelp

I walked in and got a lox bagel which was ready in 2-3 minutes. It was tasty with the coffee I got too! It would be more perfect still if there would be a rye bagel option and an À la carte kosher dill/Hans Jurgen pickle spear on side (the vinegar from the pickle is good for the digestive health). Its nice to have this shop in Pottstown." 4/16 Zenas S, Google

"I would say that the bagels at Barrister's Bagels are as good as anything I ever had in 20 years of living in NYC. Perfect amount of chewiness and densely packed poppy seeds on my bagel with butter. We also had the cream cheese and lox on an everything bagel. It was so good and the lox were excellent, fresh and flavorful. The service was friendly and fast.

"This was my first time ordering from here. I have eaten a lot of bagels in my life. Hands down, this is the best bagel I have ever had. The contrast of the crunchy outer layer with the right amount of chewiness in the center was simply sublime. I had a pumpernickel bagel lox sandwich. The lox melted in my mouth and tasted fresh. It had the perfect ratio of tomatoes, capers, red onions, and cream cheese. When I want to cheat on my diet I’ll definitely be coming back again!!!" - Grace L. 3/19 Google

"I am kicking myself for not knowing sooner this place exists! I found out last minute that a coworker’s 10 year anniversary was this coming weekend, and I wanted to celebrate it. Hopped online and placed an order within minutes of having to leave for work, and picked them up 15 minutes later. Y’all, it’s been a long time since I’ve had a GOOD bagel. I got a dozen of mixed flavors, and chose to try the garlic bagel for breakfast. I about died and went to heaven after one bite - it was the most delicious bagel I’ve ever tried. Rarely do I feel, after eating one bagel, that I wanted another. I spent ALL DAY fighting the urge to eat another, and THEN brought the leftovers home and ate one for dinner with some eggs. This will now be a weekly stop for me, to grab some bagels for home. All the employees are super nice, the facility is clean and smells delicious. Get ya bagels from here!!" - Darby Ross 8/27 Google

"Barristers is in our neighborhood and we like to order for pickup once a week or so. The staff are unfailingly polite and always get our order correct. The bagels are delicious - there's a wonderful variety, they're large and have a very satisfying and toothsome texture. We usually opt for plain cream cheese or an egg and cheese bagel sandwich but we're looking forward to branching out. And of course we always get the whole wheat bagel with peanut butter for my son. The iced coffee is strong and dark but smooth, reminiscent of Starbucks but less bitter and about half the price." - L.E. Kennedy 6/12 Google

Sure, you can get bagels in a lot of places, but I go out of my way for these guys. Their bagels are LOADED with toppings. Good luck finding any space at all that isn't covered by a seed, chunk of salt / onion etc! And they're fat, chewy and have that slight tang that every good bagel should have. No other bagel can compare to these." - Fiona M. 8/16 Google

"Great bagels - As a native New Yorker I am petty picky about bagels especially when they advertise NY style bagels. Generally the portion size is smaller than Ny bagels, but the flavor is excellent. My favorites are everything and garlic with scallion cream cheese. Unfortunately the Pottstown locations seem to sell out very early. Hopefully they can get to the point where they are baking the bagels at all locations so we don’t have to drive so far ... though it is worth the drive :)" - Jagzier 10/3/19

."Despite reading the negative reviews on Yelp, I had a great experience here today. I called to order two breakfast sandwiches for pick up. The girl who answered the phone was friendly and took my order promptly. I went to pick the order up 10 minutes later and it was ready. This was my first time there since the new ownership. The place definitely has had a facelift; bright and clean inside. I was waited on right away, the order was ready. The sandwiches were delicious, especially the bagels themselves. No complaints whatsoever and I will definitely be back." - Samantha M. 9/8 Yelp

"I'm surprised to see this bagel shop with so many less than stellar reviews but I'm guessing the previous ownership had some issues. I only visited a few times before it was under new ownership and have been back several times since the new ownership. I'm a transplant from Long Island, NY and a good bagel is something I always miss from home. This place really nails it! Best bagels in the area, hands down. I always get the same order every time so I can't speak to the quality of the whole menu, but I love it. A big negative for me before was they didn't have iced coffee. I would always have to get a bagel then stop somewhere else for an iced coffee. I'm so happy that iced coffee is now on the menu! Yes the place is fairly small with minimal seating but that's how most of the bagel places were that I grew up with so I'm not bothered. One of the new owners was there last time I was in and he was very attentive to making sure the service was good and that the food was coming out quickly. I hope they stick around for a while." - Danielle T. 8/23/19 Yelp

"This place is under new management once again, but this guy running it now seems to sincerely care about what's going on under his roof. He recognizes repeat customers and genuinely does answer the 'text the manager' number. Whoever is back there making bagels makes them great and whoever he's hired to prep veggies actually knows how to slice them. We've been customers at this place for years and we sure hope to continue for years more enjoying our Sunday outing here." - Rachel W. 7/29/19 Google
"I'm a long time customer who has seen this location decline steadily over the years...the changes made under the new ownership have been great! The new owner is engaged, greets customers immediately, and the ordering process is completed with ease. It's clear the new owner cares about the customer experience. I look forward to being a customer of the new Barristers for years to come!" - Anonymous 1/28/19 TalkToTheManager

"Since taking over Barrister’s Bagels, Gerry & Tom have done a very nice job of breathing “new” life into what was a dying business. The bagels remain solid, and it helps that the other items listed on the menu are available. Additionally, the “TLC” that has been given to this business (i.e., fresh paint, clean floors, etc...) are really nice touches. Btw, did I mention that my chicken salad sandwich was great!" - Eric S. 7/15/19 Square

"7.11.19 I would like to post an updated review. Under new management the place seems to run more smooth.
