Love love love. Feels like being back in Italy (except they don’t have good bagels in Italy so better). Come here to get an authentic, top-notch cappuccino, a delicious bagel with unique California toppings, a stellar pastry, and great vibes.
My personal pref: ask for your bagel toasted for a little crunchy contrast

So good! boiled bagels with a double sided Everything. Long lines as expected but moves fast. Think Trader Joes express lane. I get so many delicious things here but taking a photo first is never first on my mind as I am usually looking to dig in. Wishing this place much success.

I love this cafe! Excellent coffee and bagels. I had the summer girl on a fennel and orange bagel and loved it, hope to get another before the end of tomato season. Also loved the mortadella, but the everything bagel wasn't my favorite. Can't wait to come back and try everything.

Honest review: The place is super cute. The coffee and the food is reasonable. The attitude of the cashier is unwelcomed. I asked for the wifi details before I placed the order and the look on her face was so judgmental. As a result, totally skippable.

Great cafe. Today was my first time in. Friendly staff, very good food, you can order half a fancy bagel if you aren't that hungry, and very good coffee.

Arrived late morning on a Saturday and it was bustling. Waited in line for about 15 minutes, then about another 15 for my bagel.
I like that you can mix and match the sandwiches. Allows you to try more than one at a time. I got half flirty fig and half summer girl on a fennel orange bagel. I also got a mushroom hand pie to snack on while I waited.
The hand pie was good but I wish they warmed it up. The mushroom and cheese filling was cold inside, and I think I would have preferred it warm. The bagel was good, but not my favorite in the east bay. It definitely has that sourdough texture, which was nice. The thing I wasn’t a fan of was that one half of the bagel was very toasted and tasted burnt to me. I know some people like that, but I don’t.
I think they could also take out some stools by the bar. They have seats right in front of where the pick up is, and it makes it feel awkward when people are reaching for drinks and food right in front of you.
Overall would return.

I had an affogato here on a Sunday afternoon. It was delicious. The space is lovely and there was plenty of fresh air due to a huge window.
Bagels were fantastic! Will be back to try the coffee. The service was very good. Just for one small suggestion it would be nice to have a trash can available and easily accessible inside.

What a gem! So glad to have this cafe and wine bar in the neighborhood. The Brusco bagel was delightful.
