We (my mother and I) were visiting Cal on a college tour. I ordered the pizza bagel, which was ok, and she ordered a bagel with egg and some other toppings. The eggs were supposedly scrambled, but they just poured watered down pre beaten eggs from a jug into a plastic container, then microwaved the container and the eggs. In total it was almost $18. Then we sat down at a table and there was water on it, so I went to the counter to ask for a napkin. The woman said “on your tray” without looking at me so I asked again, trying to specify it was for the table and not me. She yelled “ON YOUR TRAY” and walked back into the kitchen. Overall, the service was horrible, the food was mediocre and overpriced and the whole atmosphere felt dirty and off. This is coming from a New Yorker who is used to dealing with grumpy, overworked people and ridiculously expensive food.

Food is mediocre but the service is terrible. Would not recommend.

This bagel shop has great bagels. They also have quick service if there’s no one there. The pricing is really good for being in such an expensive area.

I had a terrible experience here. There was a hair in my food, which was completely unacceptable. When I mentioned it to the staff, the guy working there was incredibly rude instead of apologizing. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place

No wonder the store is so empty. Nobody wants to be there because the food is bad and the staff is SO rude and unfriendly.

I would rate this place lower if I could. It was very busy and when I got to the front of the line, and attempted to order the person taking my order was not fully paying attention to me. She was making a sandwich while o was talking to her. I told her that I wanted a large cream cheese(assuming that it came with the bagel) and she said it was in the fridge very rudely. She then asked if I wanted a bagel to which I said yes and that I didn’t know how this place worked to which she cut me off and completely dismissed me. I have social anxiety so getting treated like that when it felt like all of the customers were watching was not IT. Will not be coming back.

Bagel is super yummy, but the customer service is bad and the bagel is expensive

I've been here twice and loved the food both times! The fillings are always tasty and the vibe of the place is nice. The bagels are kind of pricey but worth it to try if in the area.

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!

11 usd for a bagel with a microwaved egg (literally in front of you) and 1 slice of salmon is pretty savage. The bagel itself is good though. The service is rough.
Great bagels! I go here multiple times a week. Extremely fast service so be ready to order. Could use a little more cream cheese on some of the bagels. Overall favorite bagel spot in

For a place that charged me more money for a sesame bagel with cream cheese than I’m willing to admit, I will not be returning. I don’t think I have ever felt so disrespected upon opening my bagel and seeing how little cream cheese they had spread on my bagel. It was as if the cream cheese was the embodiment of lacroix. If social norms and fear of arrest wasn’t a thing, I’d jump the counter and spread it myself.
