Bagels Restaurants in Oakland, CA

“LOVE love love this place. Obviously the bagels--get the freshie to have it right out of the oven, but truly you can't go wrong. They're perfect. But then everything else on the menu too! It's the best rugelach I've ever had and I'm obsessed with their chai by Flowerhead Tea. It's probably good that I live far away or I would go all the time.“

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

“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 🫤“

“The MOCHI DONUTS!! Enough said“

“Great service, great food!!!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“The best experience I’ve had in a coffee shop… ever. Came in this morning around 630 and the two girls working were absolutely amazing!! My friends and I had never been in and needed coffee before our hike, and we never will I go anywhere else again. They were kind, quick, and explained the menu so well. We’ve talked about how amazing the service and coffee was allllll day long“
