Bagels Restaurants near San Mateo, CA

“I came here to pick up breakfast once before school. The man serving us was definitely a character. I have a feeling he was the same person other reviewers are perceiving as rude. I thought he was just funny. He let me and my mom pet his dog, which was sitting outside.

I got a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese. There's other places where I can get the same thing in higher quality and for cheaper, but the convenience of Bagel Box and Coffee cancels that out. Overall, I might come again. 4/5.“

“I had the power egg white sandwich, which was both nutritious and delicious. I was disappointed that i could not get hot green tea.“

“Great small family owned and run bagel cafe. The bagels are fresh as can be, have a large variety and are reasonably price. They are the best and freshest bagels on the Peninsula. My wife and I love the lox cream cheese combo bagel. They don’t skimp on cream cheese, unlike Noah’s, served warm with great smells of the topping. Very nice outdoor patio to enjoy your brunch. They also have a variety of meat bagel sandwiches to choose from Al top notch and carefully made.“

“I tend to forget to take pictures sometimes. But by far, my favorite bagel spot in the bay. Warm toasty bagels. Delicious sandwiches. Always great customer service. You want a nice thicccccck bagel sandwich you go to docs. The rolled hotdogs and hotlinks are delicious, too!“

“Customized my bagels, which was the good thing about this. Place is small and like a mom and pop kind of bagel place. Someone takes your order and delivers it to you while you wait. The place is tight and 1-2 tables outside and a little bench inside. Bagels were good though after customizing it to how I want! Instead of everything bagel I think they called it all in one. Still good and filling. Had to get latte elsewhere but worth it for a quick pick me up.“

“Great 👍 🔥🔥🔥🔥😜😜🔥😜😜😜😜😜😜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥“

“After looking them up, I thought let’s try it. They’re close to where we were. They were so kind and helpful on how I wanted the sandwich and it’s a great turkey sandwich.! And the price is so reasonable. But the kindness took the cake😊“

“Vegetarian options: I recommend a warmed up Dutch Crunch with 2 slices provolone cheese and "everything" on it if you are vegetarian. If you are not vegetarian, add siced turkey. I come all the way from Monterey and stop here. Best sandwich in the world!“

“Bagels and customer service are amazing!“

“A Burlingame sweet American donut story pass on from a Polish Jewish immigrants- Philip Kares who open the shop in the late 1970’s; sold it to the Chows in the 80’s, to the Lu’s and now passed on to the Choi. Special memorable thanks to Philip and his family, the staffs—Kathy, Alversia, Alfonso, Mike, Ray, Steve, Genie, —and the many wonderful customers who help made this place specials...“

“Pretty good bagels and variety of smears. Love the Cali Lox but make sure to ask for extra smears on whatever bagel you order. They also serve salads and lunch bagel sandwiches.“

“Was here picking up an order and saw that they had vietnamese coffee with condensed milk-- decided to try. It was a generous cup (very sweet though) and the bagels were good and plentiful. On a mid-week afternoon not busy and got served quickly and the CO2 levels were good. The staff were friendly and fast.“

“I have never written a review for a restaurant before, but I had to for this place. Me and my friends are road-tripping down the coast of California and we stopped for gas and noticed this breakfast spot near by. Walking in you can feel the warm energy of the owners and they are immediately there to help you. The food ended up being a 10/10, absolutely amazing. I got the BLT on a bagel and was thrilled. They even chatted with us and gave us each a free donut. The kindness of these owners and the vibe and quality of the restaurant is unmatched. I’m writing this as I’m eating I’m so happy.

The Vietnamese coffee may be the greater thing I’ve ever had.“
