The Bagel Bakery Cafe

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.

$10 for a microwaved bagel isn't a great value

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!

Been here a few times to get a bagel with a small side of jelly. Today they randomly attempted to charge me 3 dollars for a small side of jelly and said it’s the same price as cream cheese and charged for cream cheese because there wasn’t a button for jelly. Hmm, I wonder why? Thought I found my new breakfast spot but if I’m going to be randomly up charged for no reason I’ll take my money elsewhere.

#2 with bacon on egg. Good taste but the wax paper still attached to the cheese was off-putting.

I went for coffee around 1:45pm on a Tuesday and their espresso machine was out of order. They only had drip coffee with no real milk (only non-dairy milks available) - I drank it but wasn't a fan.
