Bagels Restaurants near San Leandro, CA

“Cute bagel shop! Happened to be in the area and stopped here. We were greeted by welcoming and friendly staff and surprised by the assortment of bagels (they even have a blueberry cinnamon crunch!). I’d been craving toast so they happily crafted an off the menu breakfast sandwich for me while my daughter had nova lox on poppyseed. Both hit the spot! They’re expanding their back deck too! Tables have fresh flowers and thriving succulents. Great way to start the day!“

“Dennis, the owner, is awesome. Great selection of bakery pastries like scones, cinnamon rolls, etc. He also has freshly baked French bread and dinner rolls. I personally go there for some coffee and a breakfast croissant, along with some French bread for dinner. Prices are way more affordable than the lee’s next door. Glad to give small business owners like Dennis my business.“

“Stopped by for our Sunday morning carb fix last week! Get ready to stand in line if you’re coming on the weekend, but trust me it’s worth it.

Located in Temescal in Oakland, Poppy Bagels offers hand-rolled bagels in classic flavors. Most of their sandwiches are served open-face and have a generous amount of toppings on them.

Super grateful that they had a big rack with all of their bagels on display, because I’m definitely more of a visual chooser when it comes to bagels.

We got the Freshie Garlic Bagel ($4 - warm bagel, butter, and salt), Whitefish Garlic Bagel ($16 - scallion cream cheese, white fish salad, red onion, chives, and dill), and also Truffle Honey Everything Bagel ($9.50 - black truffle cream cheese and local honey).

Everything together took about ~10-15 minutes to be ready. While we waited, we grabbed a table in their lovely patio area. There’s also a restroom on the way there. There are a few tables inside and some barstool seats as well. They definitely fill up quick & once you see their playful color scheme, you’ll totally understand why.

The bagels are quite dense, which I enjoy. For those who like a fluffier bagel, this might not be your favorite, but I promise you will appreciate the craft and their unique flavor combinations.

The Whitefish was very bright and reminded me of cold-smoked mackerel, but I’m not quite sure what fish they used. The dill and chives helped to cut the brininess and it all came together with the creamy scallion cream cheese. Definitely my favorite bite of the day.

The Truffle Honey had a generous serving of shmear. It was at least ½ inch thick on each bagel half! Also, beware of the honey, your fingers will be a mess after, but it’s all part of the experience.

The staff was very patient and explanatory with their menu. They are also very on top of marking things as sold out if needed. We were def a bit bummed when the egg salad was marked as sold out, but it just means that we’ll be back for more!“

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

“Tasty bagels—good texture and you can tell they were freshly baked. Their breakfast bagel sandwiches are the perfect way to start a weekend morning. One of the best bagels I’ve had in the Bay Area. The service is great as well and they are always so friendly. Highly recommend!“

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

“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“

“A bit slow and pricey. I wish they cooked the eggs differently for the bagel sandwiches. I am not sure if they are using powdered eggs, but the way they prepare them in thin folded sheets makes them dry and unpleasant. Bacon was also shredded and dry. The sausage was great though, and the quality of the bagels are good.“

“Came here today with my boyfriend. John gave us great costumer service and an amazing sandwich!!!! I finished mine before my boyfriend and we got the same exact thing. Great cream cheese as well. Serious sandwiches are made here! They're worth EVERY PENNY!!!! THANK YOU!!!

Our order :
On a jalapeño cheddar bagel
Eggs, bacon, turkey, lettuce, mustard and pepper jack cheese. Extra salt and pepper on the eggs and extra butter on the bread. Chef's kiss!!“

“Bagel Street Cafe is a local legend.About: From their website, “Bagel Street Café was established in the Bay Area as a family business in 1990s. The first Bagel Street Café opened in 1996 in Alamo, California. Along with the Alamo location eventually came 21 other retail locations and a Production Plant/Warehouse in Fremont that have made their place around the Bay Area.”Description: This place is simple, delicious, and friendly. It’s been around for a while because they do things the right way!The staff is very friendly, inviting, and accommodating.Menu: I usually go for the salmon lox bagel, and get it toasted. There are many options from breakfast to lunch. Egg, turkey and, ham sandwiches are great.Seating: Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.Enjoy!!“

“Excellent food and customer service from the staff and owners Dave and Carol. Best red chicken curry and chili!“

“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“

“OMG I love the energy I get when I go to this Noah's in comparison to others in the bay area. And I've been to them all. Walnut creek,Pinole, Fremont, Marin, etc. The ladies that are there in the early am are always nice smiling and ready to serve. I don't know what it is but they no matter how long it's been since I've been there last they still remember me. That makes my bagel taste so much better 😋. It's two brown 🤎 skin sista's and they bring the business culture.“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food and service were great. Fast, kind, and delicious. The interior space is definitely not a 5 atar dining experience. But for a place to sit and eat breakfast, it was fine. The selection was good, and the pastries were clearly made fresh. They did a great job making the food and drinks we ordered. Would definitely go back again.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly breakfast options. Donuts, bagels, cinnamon rolls, etc.“

“Who would have expected a really good bagel place in Castro Valley? And yet this place consistently impresses. The service is beyond reproach, polite but professional with a smile. The bagels are great: bready, just chewy enough but not so much that it will hurt your jaw, crisp on the outside. Toothsome, would be a good way to describe them. The cream cheese is always fresh and tasty, Overall, for the area, a very good bagel place. PS Try the crepe with whipped cream and Strawberries, yummy!!“

“We stopped in at the recommendation of our local hosts. If you’re a Starbucks person or a cop, don’t come here. This is a real neighborhood cafe. The community is outstanding, the people are incredibly nice and social, and the chai I had was amazing. Vegan baked goods are also delicious. Definitely a highlight of our stay in Oakland!“

“I have been coming here since I was a kid, it is exactly the same as I remember 15+ years later. Great prices, lovely vibe inside and the staff are always so nice. Would definitely recommend stopping by and trying the “Hamelette” breakfast bagel!“

“solid espresso drink game from baristas.“

“I recently visited here and was blown away by the quality of their bagels. The texture was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They offer a great variety of flavors, and I highly recommend the everything bagel with cream cheese. The staff was friendly, and the service was quick, even during a busy morning. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a perfect spot for a quick breakfast or lunch. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“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!“

“Been going to bagel street for the past 7 years with my buddy. We always get the pizza bagel which is always super good. To be honest the service and environment has really gone down hill and the prices increasing it’s a bit disappointing. Anyway I still love this place give it a try if you can when you’re in Berkeley!“

“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“

“Menu online could be better for delivery. Unable to choose individual bagels by the dozen.“
