New Bagel, Coffee Shop Opens Thursday In Ardmore

ARDMORE, PA — Main Liners looking for a bagel and coffee will have a new spot to visit soon, as Bagels and Co. will open in Ardmore Thursday morning.

Bagels and Co. is located at 43 Cricket Ave. in Ardmore and will open at 8 a.m. Thursday.

The first 100 people at the new store from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. will get free bagels and cream cheese.

This new location — which is the largest yet with 2,500 square feet of space — will serve more than a dozen varieties of Brooklyn-style bagels, dozens of cream cheese flavors, coffee and matcha drinks, breakfast sandwiches, fruit, yogurt, chia pudding, fresh baked muffins and cookies, and more.

Each bagel is soaked in water to make them puffy and crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.

For cooking the bagels, the team had special custom fabricated steam ovens made just for Bagels and Co.

Along with the opening comes new offerings, including new Fruity Pebbles Bagels, Spicy Avocado Cream Cheese, Mango Cream Cheese, Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, Monte Cristo Sandwich, Blueberry Chai Latte, Lavender Matcha, Strawberry Lemonade and Peach Iced Tea.

The Ardmore location is the ninth Bagels and Co. outpost. Locations are planned for Penn State, South Philadelphia, and more areas.

"We are thrilled to open the doors to our first Main Line location for Bagels and Co.," Bagels and Co. Co-Owner Derek Gibbons said. "We can't wait to meet our neighbors and community neighbors who have been looking forward to this opening. Our team looks forward to getting to know the neighborhood and to becoming a valued part of the community. Ardmore is one of the region's top dining destinations and we are proud to open in the heart of downtown Ardmore."
