Bagels Restaurants near El Cerrito, CA

“the hot beverages & sandwiches 😋“

“First time here - I’ve been wanting to try it for quite a while. I love that the have a Jersey Girl bagel. The bagels were very tasty and beautiful. They were very understaffed for a Friday holiday - one person on till and one in the kitchen. This made for a very slow bagel experience. We waited 30 minutes for our food after ordering. And this was with no one in line before us. I will likely come back, but definitely not if I show up already hungry.“

“One visit and I'm hooked! We have many bagel spots to choose from, and Poppy's is high up there. I got a gluten-free bagel egg and cheese sandwich. The GF bagel was one of the BEST I've ever had. I'm so glad they have the option for those of us who have dietary restrictions. The tomato spread was zesty, flavorful. Can't wait to return again and again.“

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

“The best in town.“

“i ordered delivery. i got the turkey avocado on an everything bagel, and just their daily special scallion-sesame bagel (wednedays). they do not skimp out on ingredients for their sandwiches. i appreciate that. also the bagels themselves were a lot bigger than i expected! the only note i have is that the bagels were kind of tough. wish they were softer i guess, and that’s counting both toasted and untoasted bagels.“

“Great little find while touring the city! Had to stop by three times in two days. Fantastic sandwich’s and great pastries.“

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

“I’ve been coming here for years and it has been my favorite. I work across the street so my colleagues and I love coming here for breakfast or lunch. The owners are so kind and sweet and always in the happiest mood. I highly recommend their open faced lox bagels and their hot link bagel dogs .“

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

“Cafe International is a welcoming cafe in Lower Haight. The delightful owner, Zahra, is inviting and warm. The food is as outstanding as the coffee, making it the perfect spot to checkout. Be sure to stay for the live music.“

“Best avocado toast I’ve ever had and the bagels are awesome as well. The coffee is great too. Found our new breakfast venue for every visit to San Francisco.“

“I like this bagel shop quite a bit actually. They are always busy, but there isn't to long of a wait ever. They do run out of pastries and some flavors of bagels so make sure you go early! The only shitty thing about this place is that it's kinda hard to get to if you're driving. Shoot it was kinda confusing to get to on foot too honestly. There is parking but it's an underground parking garage that u have to pay for. The entrance to parking garage is not on 14th st but on whatever side st is behind the bagel shop. If u do park down there, u can take the elevator to the top ground. Walk to the left and around the corner, you will see a bunch of tall buildings when u get out of the elevator. When u walk towards the left you will see an ATM, cross the courtyard thing and BAM lol the bagel shop is right there. Can't miss it 😉. If you are walking there from Broadway, it's behind Walgreens and Citi bank by the art sculpture thing surrounded by hella tall buildings. Good luck lol. I love the strawberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese or the I think it's called the sugar bagel or cinnamon sugar bagel with cream cheese 👌bomb.com! Oh yeah.... Their coffee is horrible, tastes like hot water 🫤“

“Most of the bagel sandwiches come open faced and you can mix & match two different halves, which I love. My favorites are the Bartavalle, Brusco, and Gold Standard. The fennel orange latte with homemade syrup is tasty and well balanced.
They make good use of the small space and have several spaces to sit, including some outdoor seating.
Lots of street parking around.“

“A great spot for a quick bite. I love all the classic offerings: the bagel with cream cheese, fresh salads, and the ham and cheese croissant are all consistently good. The waffle is amazing, the smoothies are fresh, and the coffee is strong enough to be just the way I like it. On top of that, the customer service is always friendly and on point.“

“Great experience at the The Bagel Bakery Cafe. May was wonderful and super friendly. My manager and myself were on a work trip and decided to stop in for breakfast. Being from NY we have a high standard for a good bagel and I will say those standards were surpassed! - Marcin & Matt“

“Great old fashion donuts“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

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

“Best bagels and cream cheese in the city! I've been to their Fillmore Street location several times, but this is my first time at this specific location. The employees were fun and friendly. There isn't a spot to eat inside, but there are many tables to eat at outside.“

“Stopped by on a Saturday morning and there was no line, and I had my food within 5 minutes of ordering. I went with a custom everything bagel with egg salad. Both were incredibly fresh and made for a very satisfying meal. The shop has a lovely, open atmosphere where you can watch the bagel making process. This does seem like a takeout spot as there isn’t really any dining space. It is a bit pricey, but given the quality and freshness, it felt well worth it. Great bagel spot in general.“

“Wowsers — awesome bagels, Italian style, and a must-try addition to SF’s excellent bagel scene. I stumbled across this gem by serendipity, via a bagel craving enroute to work downtown. And BOOM! Tony Gemelli delivered, with truly exceptional bagels and other baked goods on offer starting 8am. I like the everything with smoked salmon/CC, and usually take a few loaves of the terrific breads home. Tucked away a little out of the way, but SOOO worth it. Thank you Tony, you are a genius and a gentleman!“

“This coffee place is definitely a place where you wanna go, when there's not that much people. I love the modern and hip vibe of the building in itself -- the decor inside the place a really cozy yet light environment.

I love how active they are about giving back to the community. That to me shows a lot. They're also proudly Latina and women-owned too, so that in itself shows a lot.I walked in and got an horchata latte -- and needless to say, they were one of the best ones I've ever gotten. It tasted really silky, not too sweet, and the cinnamon taste wasn't overbearing. One thing to note - they are closed on Tuesdays, which is odd. I will not question that.

They are also a vibe as well -- great hospitality and they treat everybody who comes in like familia. Now THAT is how you run a local and small-owned business and have regular customers like me go back time by time.

I definitely will be back to support this establishment!“

“Woke up with jet lag and starving in the holiday inn around the corner. Skipped the boring hotel breakfast and walked 2 minutes down the road to this absolute gem. Exactly what it says on the tin, perfect New York style bagels. I had the lox on everything and a coffee, cost me $9.25 and it was delicious. Have sat here for half an hour watching the old lady serving customers without uttering a syllable. What a legend. Love her for it, I hope this place never changes.“

“Great service, great food!!!“

“Came on a Saturday late morning - around 10:30am. There were only two people manning the store, but my god they were so enjoyable to be around that it made the wait actually worth it. The bagels were amazing, sure, but I would come here every day if I weren't from the East Coast just to be in the presence of these two very funny, happy workers. Would 100% recommend.“

“Love this place, they have a surprisingly extensive menu and the food is great. And it’s quick, like the food comes out crazy fast.

It’s a tough neighborhood sometimes but the folks here are kind to everyone and there’s a warm vibe. Prices are reasonable as well. Thank you!!!!!“

“Since high school, I’ve been coming here for over 10 years, and the food has stayed consistently good. The sandwiches are the real standout, but my go to orders are the Hood and the Turkey Bacon Avocado. Whenever I’m in the area and hungry, this is one of the first spots that comes to mind. Solid sandwiches, generous portions, and that neighborhood spot feeling you can’t fake. Definitely a go to in Oakland. Highly recommend!“

“Wow. What a delicious cake 🎂 we ordered. Everyone should try their desserts, they are absolutely amazing!“

“Super fresh donuts, yummy breakfast, best burger in town. I got raised donuts, they are big and good price. Super friendly customer service. The smoothies are amazing as well. Fresh smoothies. Free parking lots. Quiet and clean. This is my favorite grab and go. I highly recommend this store.“

“BEST coffee in a week! Thank goodness. Excellent bagel and sandwich. Friendly service at reasonable price.“

“I had a lovely experience here this morning. The owner (I’m assuming he was the owner) was friendly and attentive, and the decor and setup inside is unique, artsy and homey. I got the Chef’s mess hot wrap, and it was SO DELICIOUS!!! The flavors were incredible. And my iced Americano was also perfect. But the flavors in the wrap were so good, it was review worthy!“

“wow!!!! i couldn’t believe the quality of the cake donuts here!!!!! Such an amazing hidden gem. This incredible family establishment deserves so much credit…..amazing quality bagels AND ive actually never had a donut i truly loved until here. The maple is amazing but really any flavour :)“

“The Mexican hot chocolate was authentic and tasted like an elevated version of my childhood hot chocolate. The maple scone was slightly moist and not too sweet which was a pleasant surprise. The vibe was intimate and calm, but also nice enough to study. Customer service was kind and to the point. Will be returning!“

“If you’re looking for a delicious bagel sandwich, and a hot cuppa coffee, look no further, this is your place. The ingredients were fresh, the coffee was on point, and the family who runs this are warm and friendly. The prices are also very fair, give how unreasonable some coffee shop prices are these days.“

“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.“

“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“

“Found Happy Donut through TooGoodToGo (IYKYK), which ended up being such a nice little treat. After walking around the city all day, I picked up my bag, stepped outside, and immediately demolished a glazed donut in front of the shop lol. The cream-filled one with the coffee-flavored glaze was also amazing - it ended up being the perfect post-workout treat the next day :)“

“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“

“A story of three friends including one focused on how Food ties into social interaction and cultural understanding Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen began in 2010, their expansion from The Mission flagship all the way down to Culver City thanks to “California-inspired Jewish deli food with roots in tradition and an eye on the future; for Jews who like food and food lovers who like Jews.” Founded by Evan Bloom, Ari Bloom and Leo Beckerman, each bringing unique skills to an operation focused on making nearly everything in-house, it was minutes after 9:00am on Christmas Day that the Deli on 24th Street was found quiet, the lack of queue seeing everything served within ten minutes at prices far below the Bay Area average. Using good ingredients, natural Beef Pastrami with complex spicing layered between real Jewish Rye just $15.50 with a Kosher Pickle, guests are also encouraged to order Matzo Ball Soup with a big Dumpling floating in Broth laced with Dill. No Babka on this morning, all of it committed to pre-orders, 72% Bittersweet Guittard Chocolate instead finds itself suspended in Cookies with flakes of Salt while Rugelach for $2 a bite is fairly basic considering the rest. Not forgetting a Bagel, well made with a good skin and plenty of chew, Cream Cheese comes complimentary just as good Butter, real Maple Syrup and Jam do with Challah French Toast cooked golden but still custardy in the middle.“

“Great lunchtime gem in the downtown Oakland area. The service is great and friendly. I got a couple of plates to go. Service was fast and friendly. The pork dish was great but the chicken and tofu was even better! The tofu was perfectly cooked and the chicken was tasty! I did get there toward the end of the lunch time but everything still tasted freshly prepared.“

“Excelente Sabor muy bueno, la calidad del pan y su cocción y n su punto, el jugo de muy buena calidad.“

“The bagels are delicious! The employee, Gina, was so polite and helpful! We will be back for sure!“

“Great food period I really enjoy breakfast there“
