Restaurant Details

Founded by Jacob and Alexandra Cohen — childhood crushes who fell in love as adults and started making bagels out of their Northern Liberties home during the mid-pandemic malaise — this boutique bakery chain has expanded by leaps and bounds in the last five years. At the time of this writing, the cozy Kismet empire includes four brick-and-mortar locations including luncheonettes in Collingswood and this spot in Lower Merion Township on the Main Line. All of them offer Kismet’s signature crispy, chewy bagels, along with creamy schmears, donuts, bialys, breakfast sandwiches and more, and this location does its baking on premises. Ample parking, too.
