Bagels Restaurants near Alameda, CA

“Tasty bagels—good texture and you can tell they were freshly baked. Their breakfast bagel sandwiches are the perfect way to start a weekend morning. One of the best bagels I’ve had in the Bay Area. The service is great as well and they are always so friendly. Highly recommend!“

“A bit slow and pricey. I wish they cooked the eggs differently for the bagel sandwiches. I am not sure if they are using powdered eggs, but the way they prepare them in thin folded sheets makes them dry and unpleasant. Bacon was also shredded and dry. The sausage was great though, and the quality of the bagels are good.“

“The food and service were great. Fast, kind, and delicious. The interior space is definitely not a 5 atar dining experience. But for a place to sit and eat breakfast, it was fine. The selection was good, and the pastries were clearly made fresh. They did a great job making the food and drinks we ordered. Would definitely go back again.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly breakfast options. Donuts, bagels, cinnamon rolls, etc.“

“solid espresso drink game from baristas.“

“I have been coming here since I was a kid, it is exactly the same as I remember 15+ years later. Great prices, lovely vibe inside and the staff are always so nice. Would definitely recommend stopping by and trying the “Hamelette” breakfast bagel!“

“These bagels are the VERY best in the East Bay, and maybe in the country! I've tried every bagel shop around. No others come close. (An East Coast Jew knows an authentically boiled and baked bagel when she bites into one.) Their lox is also top-shelf.“

“Stopped by for our Sunday morning carb fix last week! Get ready to stand in line if you’re coming on the weekend, but trust me it’s worth it.

Located in Temescal in Oakland, Poppy Bagels offers hand-rolled bagels in classic flavors. Most of their sandwiches are served open-face and have a generous amount of toppings on them.

Super grateful that they had a big rack with all of their bagels on display, because I’m definitely more of a visual chooser when it comes to bagels.

We got the Freshie Garlic Bagel ($4 - warm bagel, butter, and salt), Whitefish Garlic Bagel ($16 - scallion cream cheese, white fish salad, red onion, chives, and dill), and also Truffle Honey Everything Bagel ($9.50 - black truffle cream cheese and local honey).

Everything together took about ~10-15 minutes to be ready. While we waited, we grabbed a table in their lovely patio area. There’s also a restroom on the way there. There are a few tables inside and some barstool seats as well. They definitely fill up quick & once you see their playful color scheme, you’ll totally understand why.

The bagels are quite dense, which I enjoy. For those who like a fluffier bagel, this might not be your favorite, but I promise you will appreciate the craft and their unique flavor combinations.

The Whitefish was very bright and reminded me of cold-smoked mackerel, but I’m not quite sure what fish they used. The dill and chives helped to cut the brininess and it all came together with the creamy scallion cream cheese. Definitely my favorite bite of the day.

The Truffle Honey had a generous serving of shmear. It was at least ½ inch thick on each bagel half! Also, beware of the honey, your fingers will be a mess after, but it’s all part of the experience.

The staff was very patient and explanatory with their menu. They are also very on top of marking things as sold out if needed. We were def a bit bummed when the egg salad was marked as sold out, but it just means that we’ll be back for more!“

“In fond of the lava lemonade. And the bagels are delish.“

“The best in town.“

“Friendly staff🥰, best bagel in the states🥯“

“It was a little hard to figure out where to go to get there if ur using Google maps. The easiest way to get there is to park in the parking garage under the building and take the elevator up. If you go early enough it's a lot easier to maneuver. Like 6ish... the food is fresh and really good strawberry crasaunt !! I was a little disappointed with the strawberry bagels and the strawberry cream cheese bc it didnt taste like strawberry very much. But it was still really good. Thr store want too crowded and I didn't have to wait long at all. I will forsure be going back .“

“They had fresh bagels and a customer service attitude in comparison to Bagley Street Cafe on Telegraph in Berkeley down the street from campus. I live on Telegraph and I will go to Lox Stock & Bagel which is several blocks farther away for a fresh bagel and a smile.“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Cute bagel shop! Happened to be in the area and stopped here. We were greeted by welcoming and friendly staff and surprised by the assortment of bagels (they even have a blueberry cinnamon crunch!). I’d been craving toast so they happily crafted an off the menu breakfast sandwich for me while my daughter had nova lox on poppyseed. Both hit the spot! They’re expanding their back deck too! Tables have fresh flowers and thriving succulents. Great way to start the day!“

“Excellent food and customer service from the staff and owners Dave and Carol. Best red chicken curry and chili!“

“My first time visiting Wise Sons and all I can think about are Regina Spector lyrics floating in my head

You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads

My Everything bagel - Nutty, Crunchy, Chewy, Salty, Garlicy, Oniony, Savory

I'm from Oakland, but today after eating an Everything bagel I was transported to New York's Lower East Side.

Matt says if you find yourself on Telegraph avenue and want to take a tasty side trip to New York to fall in love, check out Wise Sons“

“Great food period I really enjoy breakfast there“

“Very good bagels, run by a very nice family. The atmosphere is clean, but not somewhere that's very inviting to eat. Since the pandemic, I haven't seen literally anybody eating here. People just get their stuff to go. That said, they make proper boiled bagels fresh every day. They're chewy and crisp when toasted, which is exactly how a bagel should
be. I'm a lox guy, and they've only ever served me good, fresh lox. This is an important detail. Tons of bagel places serve fishy lox that you can tell hasn't been properly refrigerated or stored. This is never the case at house of bagels. To be honest, I've kind of had an addiction to this place. I go on jags where I get a bagel there 4 times a week....one last thing: try the pastrami bagel. It's delicious.

Kid-friendliness: I've been taking my kid there since he was 9 years old. They love him and treat him so nicely that it makes me love them. It's his favorite breakfast.“

“OMG I love the energy I get when I go to this Noah's in comparison to others in the bay area. And I've been to them all. Walnut creek,Pinole, Fremont, Marin, etc. The ladies that are there in the early am are always nice smiling and ready to serve. I don't know what it is but they no matter how long it's been since I've been there last they still remember me. That makes my bagel taste so much better 😋. It's two brown 🤎 skin sista's and they bring the business culture.“

“What Primavera does really well that lots of other sandwich shops overlook is their bread - it's fantastic here. The portions are generous and good selection, including delicious veggie options.

This isn't a fancy sandwich shop, it's a real-deal simple, satisfying meal at a fair price. Evidenced by the droves of students that frequent it. Support family owned businesses!“

“I stumbled across this café in Berkeley. I was in the neighborhood and wanted a cup of coffee and a bite to eat. Customer service was outstanding. Very friendly. I ordered a Americano café and a classic half plain bagel with cream cheese to go.
When I got to the car and opened up the box with the bagel, I was pleasantly surprised at what I was looking at. I had to take a photo. Even more surprised when I took the first bite. This was the best bagel I’ve ever had! The taste was amazing. Everything was so fresh. I took a sip of my coffee and that too was really good!
Thank you guys the copy and the food made my day! I will return when I’m back in town.“

“We stopped in at the recommendation of our local hosts. If you’re a Starbucks person or a cop, don’t come here. This is a real neighborhood cafe. The community is outstanding, the people are incredibly nice and social, and the chai I had was amazing. Vegan baked goods are also delicious. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Oakland!“

“Stumbled on this place when working across the street servicing a customer's equipment and needed to grab lunch nearby. Had the best turkey and swiss deli sandwich of my life, not kidding. Now, every time I drive by the place I salivate. Had the chance to stop by there again today, one year later, and the turkey and swiss sandwich was even better! Fresh high quality bread, turkey, swiss cheese, tomato, red onion, lettuce, and some kind of special sauce. Incredibly delicious and a very rare find!“

“One of my favorite places in Berkeley to work on my laptop. There’s this bristling, cerebral energy in the air and people stay for hours. It feels like a cafe, coworking space, and start-up launchpad all wrapped in one. I love the mix of students, artists, freelancers, and entrepreneurs.“

“had a nice brunch before class started and was on a budget, cashier was sweet and recommended me a nice sandwich and i tried a smoothie which was way better than expected, workers were all sweet and i sat for a bit while waiting for my next class to start, will come back again“

“Dennis, the owner, is awesome. Great selection of bakery pastries like scones, cinnamon rolls, etc. He also has freshly baked French bread and dinner rolls. I personally go there for some coffee and a breakfast croissant, along with some French bread for dinner. Prices are way more affordable than the lee’s next door. Glad to give small business owners like Dennis my business.“

“The person at the front was incredibly nice. I got to try their food through TooGoodToEat but I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu. The pesto pasta had great flavor and the grilled chicken was still juicy. The spring roll is a must try!“

“I have been coming to Bagel Street Cafe in Berkeley for 10 years now and it is consistently my favorite bagel sandwich. I used to buy lunch here multiple times a week while attending grad school at Cal and now have to make it a point to visit when I’m in town. Their sandwiches are piled so high with Turkey an delicious veggies including sprouts, cucumber and pepperoncinis which you don’t often get at other places. The bagels - in a huge range of flavors - are also delicious just with cream cheese! And the owners are so kind - they still remember me even though I’ve only come a handful of times per year for the past 5 or so years. Can’t say enough good things about Bagel Street Cafe!“

“Really nice place to hang out with friends and work in Bay street. We got really nice service. Inside was quite packed, we went there on weekend. They have electrical sockets to charge your devices and have variety of tables and chairs to sit. We order ice tea, it was good. The restrooms for custumers have code, you can ask the staffs for it.“

“Folks with celiac disease who can’t have wheat, barley or rye (need to be gluten free): Swung by at 8am when they open to find the shop closed with no activity. About 8:15 saw some folks moving around inside. Gave it a few for them to get settled and headed in about 8:35. I saw at least one of their smoothies had wheat bran. Since things felt very disorganized, I didn’t trust they would be able to handle cross contact safely so I left.“

“No one really knows about this wonder, but they have my favorite cappuccino on campus for $3 and if you bring your own mug you get a dollar off any drink. The pastries are also very good and inexpensive. The $3 crossiant larger than my face gets me through early morning chem lectures. You can pay with card now, but the minimum purchase with card is $5.“
