Great little hole in the wall bagel shop. We were looking a local breakfast place and found this by chance.

Reached House of Bagels around 10 AM on a weekend, and there was already a huge line outside the door—which definitely raised my expectations. Even though the line was long, it moved at a surprisingly good pace, and we were able to place our order in about 20 minutes.
We ordered:
* Two sausage, egg & cheese jalapeño bagel sandwiches
* One with tomato basil cream cheese
* One with jalapeño cream cheese
* A Double Dutch Mocha
* And a chai tea
The service was impressively fast because we got our entire order in less than 5 minutes.
They have a few outdoor tables, but since it was drizzling, we decided to take the food home instead.
The bagels themselves were soft, fresh, and nicely made. I personally wished the jalapeño bagel had a bit more jalapeño flavor compared to similar bagels I’ve had elsewhere, but overall the sandwich was very satisfying. The sausage, egg, and bagel ratio was spot on, making every bite balanced and filling.
The tomato basil cream cheese was absolutely delicious and added great flavor to the sandwich. The jalapeño cream cheese, however, was a bit disappointing and lacked the kick I expected.
Special mention for the Double Dutch Mocha—easily a 100/10. Rich, smooth, and honestly one of the best drinks from the meal. On the other hand, the chai tea was disappointing and tasted more like warm milk with a little cinnamon rather than actual chai.
Overall, it was still a really good experience, and I’d definitely go back to try more items from their menu.

No-frills bagel spot that does the basics really well.
They offer a huge variety of bagels and cream cheese combinations. There’s almost always a long line, but the service is very quick, so it moves fast. Clearly a popular spot, and for good reason. They’re very generous with the cream cheese and never stingy with portions, which I really appreciate. The prices are also very reasonable. We got two onion/everything bagels with veggie cream cheese for about $10.
There are a few parking spots outside (around 6–10) shared with the 7 Eleven next door, but they fill up quickly.

I have been going here for 20 years. Great bagels, great outdoor seating. A hangout place both for the Naglee Park neighborhood and for San Jose State students.

The couple that runs this place are some of the hardest working people I know.
Whether it is good management, or a supportive customer base, the bagels are always fresh and much of it runs out by the early afternoon.
The owner also makes a great ice mocha!
