Some indoor seating available. They put a lot of cream cheese if that’s your thing

The staff was terrific with the laid back atmosphere. In addition, the BEST bagels I have ever had!

Friendly efficient service and delicious bagels. Had Pumpernickel bagel lox and cream cheese sandwich. Felt like I was in New York. It is fun to look at the bagel making equipment.

Overpriced. Low quality, bland food. Tasted like old bagels. Got sick from eating there. And the service is horrendously slow.

I'm from New Jersey and these bagels remind me of home. They are the best bagels in the area, bar none. Leaving a one star review because you need to open earlier. Look at the other bagel stores in the area, they open at 7 am or earlier. I am a teacher and need to be at work by 7:30. Having a bagel shop open this late is a crime. I'd happily pick up a dozen every week if you had a opening time that respected the working man.

Boichik is a weekly favorite of mine. You can't go wrong with your choice of bagel, although pumpernickel caraway salt is currently my top choice. The coffee's good too, hot or iced. On top of everything, everyone who works there is super, super nice. SPECIAL SHOUT OUT to Lisa! She always makes my day and never fails to brighten up the room :)Last thing to keep in mind for the uninitiated: there's limited seating (especially when it's raining -- there are just 4 tables inside) and the bagels tend to get sold out before 11:30-12 on the weekend.Vegetarian options: They have vegan cream cheese (plain, strawberry, or chive) and several of their bagels are inherently vegan. Vegan creamer is available as well.

Just plain delicious! The space is pleasant. Large windows and very clean feeling. Next time is live to visit while they are making bagels to watch the process.

Yes. Allll the bagels.Rapidly becoming my worst vice, Boichik is a fantastic combination of quality food and good people. Best bagels in the bay, hands down. Lisa and the other employees make every visit a fun treat. Make sure to try the Chocolate Malt Coffee!

This place has the best bagels and the factory viewing area is amazing. Such a perfect morning trip with young kids. Can't recommend it enough. It's got a nice outdoor and indoor seating area. Will definitely be back there soon.

Being from Montreal and going to the St Viateur and Fairmount bakeries late at night watching the guys load the ovens, it's a bit of a shock and yet very California seeing the "Bakery Bots" make bagels I'll be damned if these aren't some of the best bagels in the area that remind me of home now that Beauty's is more New York than

I have no issue with their bagels. They are very good. However, the service here is poor. I ordered a toasted bagel via the app. When I got there, the person behind the counter couldn't find the order. When they finally found it, the bagel wasn't toasted. The order slip clearly reflected that it was supposed to be toasted. How hard is it to read an order? I recommend just buying bagels here and preparing them however you want somewhere else.

What the heck did I stumble upon... The best bagel shop ever?? Small lobby area with a little bit of seating. I had never been here but I found my way to the register where there was no line and I had a couple minutes to ask the cashier what to order. I ended up with the eggything bagel with the hatch chili and chive cream cheese and oh my goodness ? the bagel was perfectly fluffy but toasted at the same time and packed with flavor. Also loved getting to watch the bagels being made as I waited two short minutes for my order.Kid-friendliness: Had an elevated surface for kids to stand on to look into the bakery area

Bagels are great, but was surprised they bagged the plain bagels below the ones with toppings.
