The Bagel Bakery Cafe

Terrible taste of the Reuben sandwich, nothing even close to the photos

“Permanent food facilities with on site food consumption, regardless of size, must provide an operable restroom for customers” per California state law. This establishment refused utility workers, who purchased food, access to a restroom after the workers worked overnight with no rest in the cold to restore the power in this establishment and to its neighbors. Not only have they broken the law, they are inconsiderate of those who provided a service to ensure they could be operable and make money today. Do better.

Asian lady not so friendly. She just stares at you and does not welcome you in as you step in the cafe. I was a female of color and looking back on reviews it seems she doesn't care for customers unless they are Caucasian. There were plenty of white males before me who were treated way better. Very disappointed to see customers service is not a priority to all customers. She also grabbed my bagel as she is on the register and not wearing gloves like the lady's who were preparing the food. Please work on your customer service. Thank you.

Loved it. Here visiting. Needed a good bagel before my haircut 3 office spaces down. Staff is friendly. It’s got a chill vibe. Food was perfect.

I bought a breakfeast bagel sandwich and it was very good. Only took a few minutes.

This is the cutest little breakfast spot in this part of SF! On one hand, I hope they blow up online and get the same love as other bakeries have, but on the other hand, I want the lines to stay short!

We got the pain au chocolate, which was so delicious! The chocolate filling was great and they had a copious amount in the pastry. It was also soft and warm, probably one of the best pain au chocolates I have ever had. We also got the iced chai latte, which was flavorful and nice! Finally, we got the jalapeño cheese bagel with garlic herb cream cheese. The cream cheese was scrumptious, but the bagel felt a little stale.

Service was fast for the place’s size, and it smelled delicious inside when we walked in. There is a little seating area but it’s probably better to take your food to go.

I just moved to the Bay Area from the East Coast. This is probably the closest thing I’ve had to a NYC bagel outside of NYC. The staff is amazing and the chocolate croissant is so delicious. 10/10 for me!

I usually don't give bad reviews but the current 4 star average rating is absolutely incorrect. I should've known the first warning sign being that on a usually bustling weekend morning in SOMA there was nobody there and they looked surprised I walked in. The bagel sandwich was okay, not much flavor or that hot baked freshness. There wasn't even real cream or milk for coffee. The cases are empty and the bagels look sad in the lower display case. And I was charged the same inflated price as everywhere else that does it better. Wanted to dine in and enjoy but the vibe is very off. I'll try one more time but temper your expectations.

For me - 'out-of-...continent'er - this was the absolute bagel perfection!
Flying home today, didn't want to leave the US without having had a bagel.
So, God placed this shop 1' away and sent a coworker to show me the right path.
And there they all were - salty, sweet, with all possible add-ons - just waiting to please and make my day (yours, too, btw!). Which mine did.
Great staff, friendly, fast! THANKS!

Pls, expand, extra-continentally!
