Bagels Restaurants in San Francisco, CA

“A friend recently introduced me to Laundromat Bagel & Cafe on Balboa Street in the Outer Sunset, and I'm so glad they did.

The cafe immediately stood out thanks to the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bagels drifting onto the street. Inside, the space felt airy and inviting, with a thoughtful blend of wood and metal accents that created a warm, modern atmosphere. What impressed me just as much was the staff. Everyone was welcoming, smiling, and genuinely friendly. Their warmth made the experience feel personal and memorable.

As for the bagels, they are hands down superior to most bagels I've had in San Francisco. Even without toasting, the exterior had a satisfying crunch while the inside remained light and fluffy. The flavor was wonderfully balanced—neither sweet nor grainy, but pleasantly nutty. Most remarkable of all, the bagels weren't overly chewy, allowing their texture and flavor to shine.

The cream cheese deserves special recognition as well. The best way I can describe it is New York meets Bay Area style: dense and creamy, yet somehow light and fluffy, with just the right amount of tanginess.

I'm thrilled to have been introduced to Laundromat for its exceptional bagels. Now I have every reason to return and see what their pizza and beer are all about.“

“Solid! I got an egg, cheddar, and sausage sandwich on a sesame bagel for $10.95 and took it across the street to eat in the cute Noe Valley plaza. The workers were friendly and the service was very fast. Great spot for a hearty midday snack.“

“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.“

“This is the only proper coffee-house with made-to-order, and a bakery to boot, cafe anywhere in the pathetic criminal Municipality of San Francisco open between 0230 hours and 0500 hours, and daily at that. Their food is top notch, and their prices for everything except a small cup of coffee between 0900 hours and closing are correct all things considered. They also host, when you get lucky, but often enough, a Chinese violin player (whose music grates my ears) right outside on their property who sells Chinese Shuangxi Cigarettes equivalent in all ways to Marlboro Lights Shorts and Parliaments for 5USD, a 66% discount from the criminal amounting to pure evil, thank you Catholic Church of America and Harvard Medical School Departments of Psychology and Psychiatry for coming up with justifications for these asinine policies, regressive-taxation OTD price of the Western product. I would point out this is a dollar under fair market value ever since the massive 2019-2021 inflation bout was tamed through the usual criminal process by way of over-allotment of Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) from the terrorist Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Confederation Helvetica dba Switzerland, imposing, as usual, a massive transaction tax on all civilised countries on Earth except Israel, Nippon-koku dba Japan, and the southern half of Korea. So I leave 6USD in his "tip jar", though, to be fair, for reasons that will take me far too long to explain in terms the typical Wharton Business School graduate, undergraduate or MBA, does not matter, can comprehend as a matter of lacking any semblance of understanding of the difference between right and wrong any Soviet four-year-old pre-school student has, I should be leaving 7USD as a professional not in debt and with no budgetary issues. Even though as a law enforcement officer I should be going to the local police station down the block when it is open and I am patronising a cafe, I usually don't unless I have specific business at the Sheng Kee Bakery Store PRC Sunset Station ever since my current local supervisor, the Office of the Legal Attache of the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in San Francisco, became a representative agent of my employer, whose office and doesn't hold me to account for minor infractions the way my ultimate boss, Masha Zakharova, does, when the Russian Foreign Ministry was forced to shut down its Western United States consular operations temporarily by some Hawaiian-American dark-skinned international terrorist war criminal in late-Q4 2016. Всего наилучшего, Диана и Толик.“

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

“Love the cozy atmosphere here.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious!! I took a bite before taking a picture. The bread tasted so so fresh, cream cheese was locally sourced from a James Dairy Farm, and there were so many veggies in the smear. You can tell a difference from Holey Bagel that this place has fresher ingredients.“

“We stop Here every time we go through San Francisco. Their coffee is marvelous and the pastries we have tried are delicious. The atmosphere is definitely San Francisco neighborhood welcoming and the mural Inside reminds me of an Italian village. Don’t miss this stop.“

“The Egg, Bacon and Avocado Bagel is LIT! 🥯 = ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ The Coffee ROCKS!! ☕️🤙 Highly Recommend!“

“great service, delicious sandwiches“

“Visited Martha’s with a friend who lives in Bernal Heights. In order the Masala Chai hot tea, which I thought would be just hot tea and then found out it is a latte. It was delicious, although it wasn’t what I was expecting! Cute little shop with more seating than one would expect in a small coffee shop.“

“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“

“clean place, great emoyees, and great food!“

“Good for a quick bite. I like the local feel of the place but it can get very crowded, especially on the weekends so I'm glad for the outdoor tables. I like to stop by when I'm going to hang out near Ocean Beach. The food is tasty!“

“I had an everything bagel with plain vegan schmear. I think they used to have a couple schmear options but as of August 2026, just one. The bagel was 5/5. Crispy outside, chewy inside. The schmear was decent but not as good as what I’ve had at other shops. Has a hint of sourness to it. Updated from previous review on 2026-08-22“

“Coffee is amazing and the food was great! The couple that owns and operates this cafe are so personal and go to every measure to make your experience the best! I highly recommend this place!“

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

“Super strong Americano lovely place sandwiches were good. More meat on pastrami would have been nice all in all look forward to returning“

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

“Temo's Cafe - the place, the people, where you find good coffee, a smile, understandig and, if needed, helping hand. Lamea is an angel...was our angel... long time ago. We never will forget you, Lamea, and your open heart... And your nice, lovely family ... A kiss and a hug from Petra and Anna“

“First time at this location, ordered the new salad with dill lox, a cookie to go, and used the app for $10 off.
Salad was fresh, tasty, and healthy size, big enough for two. I like the options to for mods and light dressing.
Their bagels are too notch, especially the salt, and always enjoy signature spreads with a ton of lox or scallions. Proper egg and cheese sandwiches on a bagel too.“

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

“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!“

“Great ambience and a nice smell. There is a cool are in the back with blinds and lots of nice space in the front by windows too. I love the plants! The Barista was very nice and had a warm aura. Also!! While neither my Brother nor I tried the baked goods they looked delightful and I LOVE that they were locally made and had a 100% plant-based option! ❤️“

“I cannot sing the praises of earths coffee enough. Remarkable prices and incredible sandwiches and smoothies, and even more astounding is the service and community care from the owner Lang. Lang knows every person who works through the door“

“195 years ago a gentleman named Hansen Gregory was born in Rockport Maine. He was an ambitious Scottish lad that took to the ocean to become a captain. He enjoyed fried dough cakes but didn't appreciate the undercooked greasy center that they often had. He is usually credited as the origin of ring shaped donuts by punching out the center with a pepper box lid. If Gregory was alive today he would be fascinated with how many wonderful and creative ways you can produce this circular delight. I may not be a captain of a ship but I am happy to make ML Donuts apart of my voyage!“

“I love this cafe. Food delish and space relaxing to write in.“

“Highly recommend L's Caffe! they have the absolute best breakfast I have ever had in the Bay Area, the breakfast burritos are incredible. the food is authentic, fresh, and the portions are incredibly generous (I get two meals out of a burrito)! the drinks are also on point, the Mexican mocha is AMAZING and the matcha is solid. 10/10 stars, our new go to please!“

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

“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.“

“The horchata French toast and is sooo good. I also love the florentine Benedict is also amazing. Parked at the mission Bartlett garage.
Service and ambiance were also great. As much as I want to gate keep this place they deserve to blow up.“

“Quick bite of bagel in downtown SF. They are fairly busy. About 5-7 mins after ordering. Bagels are warm and hot. I got the posh eggwich which was good; egg, mushroom, etc. if you need alrnigj quick, this is the place to be. Parking is very hard so this place is for walking only.“

“Ordered online & picked up at the front of the store at this time of social distancing. My daughter & I ordered mushroom bisque soup & sandwiches. Hazel's did not disappoint! We will be back 💜“

“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!!!!!“

“Having lived in New York for a while, I know a good bagel when I find one, and Wise Sons definitely delivers. Their bagels have that perfect balance of texture and flavor that makes you stop and appreciate the craft behind them.
If you’re in the neighborhood, this spot is absolutely worth your attention. I especially enjoyed their classic smoked salmon bagel, which was executed beautifully and hit all the right notes. A must-try for any bagel lover.“

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

“This being one of the few breakfast options on Castro I decided to try it. I ordered the Lox sandwich because I’ve been craving a lox bagel. I got it with the jalapeño bagel and I liked the bagel part but with so many cucumbers and tomatoes in between it was messy and fell apart easily, I would’ve preferred less veggies and a little more salmon. For $14s I was disappointed. If I ever go back I’ll just get a bagel with spread.“

“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 :)“

“I got the California as I usually do. It's so good hot and so juicy. Highly recommend coming here“

“This place is a MUST TRY. Their cortado is incredible and the price is very competitive. The staff are incredibly friendly and dedicated. You can’t go wrong. I recently moved here and have been getting a cortado almost daily from here and it’s so worth it.

You can’t also phone in your order if you’re in a rush. Highly recommend this gem of a place.“

“Service was awesome. Great job Joel. Sandwiches were delicious and oh yeah coffee hit the spot. Cool spot I agree for some great food.“

“Whenever I want a quick bite that would be the spot to hit. The staff is helpful and the bagels are pretty decent.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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.“

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

“OMG, The last time I had a sandwich that good almost 20 years ago New York City... I would definitely be coming back..!!“
