Philadelphia’s culinary scene has just been elevated with a powerful collaboration that goes far beyond breakfast. The new Spread Bagelry x Honeysuckle Provisions limited-time menu, running now through December 31, is a rich celebration of Black foodways, Haitian tradition, and Philly soul. Spearheaded by the formidable duo of Chefs Omar Tate and Cybille St. Aude-Tate, the menu is a reflection of their deep commitment to storytelling through food—and Spread Bagelry’s passion for artisanal craft.
Omar Tate, a Philadelphia native, is no stranger to using the plate as a platform. His culinary language is steeped in memory, culture, and community, and alongside his wife and creative partner Cybille—herself a Haitian-American chef and mixologist—they’ve turned Honeysuckle Provisions into one of the most vital food destinations in the country.
Now, through their partnership with Spread Bagelry, their culinary philosophy is taking a new form: Montreal-style bagels that carry the essence of ancestral recipes, prepared in wood-fired ovens with the same discipline and care that defines both brands.
The Menu: Spread Bagelry x Honeysuckle Provisions Elevates Familiar Flavors
The Spread Bagelry x Honeysuckle Provisions menu opens with the Sweet Potato Bagel, a tribute to Honeysuckle’s emblem of rootedness, history, and nourishment. Its warm, earthy notes create a canvas for either savory or sweet toppings—and pair effortlessly with any offering on Spread’s menu.
Then there’s the Sweet Heat Standard Sandwich, a bold fusion of Black Southern tradition and Philly classicism. A vegan black-eyed pea scrapple patty, laced with house-made hot honey and topped with cheddar, channels the comfort of home-cooked memories with a contemporary twist. It’s a sandwich that satisfies with soul and structure.

No less impactful is the Epis Garlic Parsley Cream Cheese—inspired by the Haitian epis seasoning found in many Caribbean kitchens. Cybille’s heritage comes through in every herbaceous, garlicky bite, transforming a familiar schmear into a meaningful culinary gesture. Rounding out the menu is the Chili Yam Molasses Latte, a dreamy, warming beverage that evokes the heart of sweet potato pie and speaks directly to the cultural intersections between pumpkin-spiced staples and the deeply rooted yam desserts in Black cuisine.
Craft Meets Culture: The Soul of Spread Bagelry x Honeysuckle Provisions
The Spread Bagelry x Honeysuckle Provisions partnership is a masterclass in culinary alignment—one that highlights how two seemingly different kitchens can share a mission: to honor tradition through technique and tell powerful stories through food. Tate and St. Aude-Tate often work deep into the night at Honeysuckle, infusing every plate with intention, just as Spread’s bakers arrive before dawn to hand-roll and wood-fire their signature bagels. That dedication, on both sides, is palpable.
Under the leadership of CEO Tom Selementi, Spread Bagelry has championed local partnerships and seasonal innovation without losing sight of its core values. With this menu, they’ve opened their ovens—and their platform—to one of Philadelphia’s most compelling culinary voices. The result is something far richer than just a meal: it’s a conversation, a celebration, and an offering.
Available now through December 31 at all Spread Bagelry locations, this collaboration invites Philadelphians to savor every element—from the first bite of that sweet potato bagel to the last sip of chili-spiced yam latte.
