I was torn writing this review as this seems to be a mom and pop shop but I didn't have a great experience. I was in the mood for bagels on Tuesday and for some reason my top 2 choices were closed on Tuesdays. I found this establishment on Yelp close by and decided to give it a shot. The bagels in the case looked ok so I decided on getting an omelette sandwich. On the menu it says eggs, tomatoes and peppers. I was dining in and when it was ready I opened it and it had cheese on it. I took it back to the counter and said I didn't order cheese. The staff then told me everything comes with cheese. I then pointed to the menu and said it doesn't list it on the menu. He then said I could scrape it off for you. I was surprised as I was expecting them to remake it. I told him ok as I didn't want to make this a big issue. After a few minutes I had the sandwich and they must have toasted it again as the garlic was burnt on top. I just picked at it a little but it wasn't a good sandwich and just tossed it.
This place was soo good! Can't wait to come back. The owners or servers were nice. It's easy to get too and there's seating right outside.
Really cute spot with cozy vibes. There isn't much seating, so it's more of a grab-and-go place. The drawings of their mascot all over the shop add a lot of charm and make it feel personal, like a small business run purely out of love. The food is decent, and it's a place I'd happily come back to and support. Service: Warm and friendly Food/Drinks: Decent bagels and donuts, simple and satisfying Ambiance: Cozy, personal, and full of character 8/10 A charming small business worth supporting with solid grab-and-go food. Rounded up.
Amazing for a first time experience. Walked in early on a Sunday and was able to get my sandwich in a short amount of time. It was delicious for sure!
From time to time I like to frequent mom and pop breakfast places instead of going to franchise giants like McDonald s , jack in the box or Denny's . I didn t want anything too large because I also had a lunch spot in mind to try out I this particular Friday . Inside is small but clean . A family operation looks like husband and wife. Simple menu, bagels donuts, donut holes,croissants , coffee frappes etc. I just order the half cheese and egg jalapeño bagel. It was ok. It was very hot temperature wise and fresh. Location is great. Alameda is a great place to discover new places. For instance I never knew Alameda has a KOHLs and Office Max. Also an army navy supply store which is very cool in its own right . The naval base here still has the Uss hornet tours still I believe . The south shore has volleyball courts and the best view of the SF skyline I've ever seen, it was a total clear day helped a lot. 4/5 price and location and options will make me try it again . Btw for parking I parked at jack in the box like a min walk away.
Taste wise - they're pretty decent. The quality is there. But the accessibility and convenience, along with pricing, knocked it down a star. The pastrami sandwich had two thin slices of pastrami only. They do add in some lettuce, tomatoes, onions, mayo and mustard, but for $11.. It's a pretty thin sandwich. I did like that they toast the sandwich though! My egg, sausage, and cheese croissant was good however I wish they had some condiments available to add in. I'm a hot sauce and ketchup girly, so my breakfast sandwich felt a little lacking without. They press TF out of the croissant so it's suuuuuuper thin. I didn't love the texture of that. This was also $10-11. In what world does a single chocolate bar run you $3 now? I do have to say it was delicious. The donut had a soft chew to it that I really enjoyed and the choc icing was pretty good. But still! Mind you, it's metered street parking only. If you can find parking closer to the residential end, it's free but it's slim pickings as it's located on the main street. They don't even have a sign out front, other than a small one on the side walk, so kinda easy to miss. The shop is way small, so I can see it getting a bit crowded. They have a big menu but none of the donuts, bagels, etc are labeled.... So unless you just know what you want, it can be hard to figure out what is what. They do take Apple Pay and CC but I believe there is a $5 or $10 minimum otherwise you'll incur a fee.
Parking on a Saturday morning is a travesty, but that's not their fault. Just be prepared. The couple working were adorable and so friendly. I ordered a ham, egg and cheese croissant sandwich, and a bagel with cream cheese. Food came out fairly quickly. There were seats available inside, but it was a beautiful day, so I opted for outdoor seating. Sandwich was pretty basic. I wouldn't knock it, but nothing crazy amazing. Bagel was standard as well. Edges a little burnt but nothing I couldn't handle. I'd come back just because the employees were so friendly.
The people here are so nice and the bagels were so warm and good! We loved it here! The donuts were also very good!
Alameda bagels and donuts captures the essence and true art of donut making. The owners are husband and wife, fellow Cambodians. They truly know how to make the perfect classic donuts. Nothing fancy here, just amazing tasting donuts, with the perfect touch of class, light, sweet, crispness/crunch especially in an old fashion. They also use Mr. Espresso coffee! Donut wait around! Go support local yall!
I got a plain bagel with cream cheese and a dozen donut holes. Bagel was toasted and it was just enough cream cheese. Donut holes aren't too sweet and tastes great with coffee! They have a lot of other pastries and even sell cream cheese! I want to try their strawberry cream cheese one day but not at the moment since I'm trying to watch out for my diet lol! I didn't get the croissant but they look huge! Bigger than my hand lol It does get warm in the shop but there's some tables outside you can sit and eat at. Staff are nice and friendly!
Good bagel shop! Probably the best around this area that I've had so far, but will need to try a few more times to be sure. I walked in at 11am on a Friday and the man behind the register was prompt and kind. They still had a decent selection of bagels and donuts. I ordered a couple bagels toasted with cream cheese. They made them quickly and labeled them (which I greatly appreciate!). The bagels were pretty good and well toasted, there was a good amount of cream cheese plopped on there (which is v important to me I love cream cheese), and they were well cut. Overall, all the fixins for a good local bagel spot. I'll come back and try a few more things before I say FOR SURE that this is my bagel spot.
Alameda Bagel and Donuts has been at this same location for as long as i can remember and they've survived the test of time based on all the other businesses that have come and gone on the block. I come here mainly for donuts and bagels and it's been enjoyable every time. The owners are friendly and know how to move the line when there is one. I also have to note that they serve my favorite kind of croissant: That one that has a shiny top and super fluffy/airy. Parking can be tough in the area but if you do find one, youll be able to grab a table and eat inside.
Customer service is really poor. After ordering an iced coffee, I went back to the counter and asked if they could make it sweet because I like my iced coffee sweet. The gentleman at the counter told me that they don't make it that way and I should've asked him when I placed the ordered. Isn't that his job? I told him I was a new customer and didn't realize they didn't make their iced coffee sweet. I told him, this is the first time I've ever had it unsweetened. Then they started scolding me and debating with me. I politely asked if he could just make it sweeter. The lady behind the counter starts yelling at me and making me feel uncomfortable, I was really caught off guard on how they were towards me. I just left and will NEVER return again. I grew up in Alameda and have always supported local businesses. Never been treated this way. It's obvious, these people need lessons on how to treat customers. Disappointed.

Stopped by Alameda Bagels & Donuts for a quick lunch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, along with a great menu full of breakfast dishes and espresso options. I ordered a plain bagel with egg, ham and cheddar cheese. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot and definitely did the job. Their donuts are pretty decent too. If you're ever in the area needing a quick coffee, bagel sandwich or a donut, this spot is worth checking out! read more

Hey, this place makes good bagel sandwiches! People will say...."you can make those at home!" It won't be the same. You can buy the bagels and all the ingredients, but you can't buy the skill and experience to make that bagel sandwich just right. The other day, I had the Lox Bagel and the Alameda Special w/ Sausage. Both were great. The toasted fresh bagel was both soft and crisp. The fresh ingredients and toppings made for the smooth blending of flavors that created a sandwich that was perfect for a late morning meal. I live in Alameda, and it's great to find a business doing it right. read more
Bomb.com I loved the croissant sandwiches! I got bacon and cheese for my husband and I got the spinach feta for myself. Amazing. Great customer service. The orange juice is freshly squeezed! Grabbed this on a whim heading to the airport and I'll definitely come back! read more
Nicely toasted, soft and chewy bagels with fresh eggs and meat...I'm a fan of the breakfast sandwiches from Alameda Bagels & Donuts! I also feel like I write this a lot, so let me elaborate by saying that texture and flavor of the bagel is what stood out the most. Sometimes I find that bagels from other places are too dense, too much like bread, or lacking flavor, but it wasn't the case here and I loved this sandwich compared to a number of other donut or bagels shops I've tried. Another reason is that the bagels were not large, yet they were still pretty filling and I'd hoped they would be for the cost. (But ask me on a super hungry day and I may say one would need to eat 2 lol). So far, I've tried their Sesame, Everything, and Blueberry bagels and all were great. I've also had their croissants, which were ok but not very flaky, so I would say go for the bagels. Customer service was good. There was only one person ahead of me. I was helped quickly and order came out just a few minutes afterwards, so perfect when you're in a rush. Parking wasn't too bad in this area on Park Street. read more

Just having moved to Alameda, this was a nice little place to find. Especially during COVID, they have two small tables outside we can sit and enjoy our breakfast Service: The server/cashier was patience with us as we browsed their menu. He was friendly and quick. No complaints here! Food: Lox Bagel - My boyfriend loved this bagel. He was happy that it actually came with capers (since other places usually didn't add them in) Egg Salad Croissant - I really enjoyed their croissant overall. Very flaky and buttery with the perfect ratio of bite. The egg salad was decent as well, but the croissant gets all the glory in my books. Overall: Would definitely recommend this place! read more

The Great Alameda Bagel Taste Off of 2021. Our family kept debating which was the best bagel of the four (!) bagel places on Alameda Island (sorry bay farm). Criteria was wide ranging and kind of depends what you like in a bagel. My wife prefers crunchy outside and soft inside. I prefer a tastier, softer bagel. we agreed to meet in the middle. We rated not just the bagel itself, but also the cream cheese, two sandwiches (sausage/egg/cheese and a vegan sando), as well as the service and decor. Levy's was the winner, mostly driven by having the second best bagel (Alameda Bagel & donut wins), by far the best sandwiches (especially the Greenwich vegan bagel sando, which is fantastic), and great service. If you're just looking for a delicious soft bagel, Alameda Bagel and Donuts are great. Their sandos were in third but you can also get a donut hole while you're there, so Alameda Bagel gets second place. Bagel Street Cafe has the best decor, including outdoor seating, so to put them in third is a bit harsh. Bagels were pretty good, service was fine, it's a good spot, and more options for sandos. Last place by far was house of bagel. Poor service, awful sandos, and meh bagels at best. read more

My wife and I stopped by this morning for a quick bite. She ordered a bagel, egg, sausage, and cheese breakfast sandwich. I ordered a pastrami sandwich. Both were passable at best. The pastrami sandwich is danty. The first word to describe a sandwich should never be danty. It was like a kid's size sandwich for a four year old, equivalent to ordering a four McNugget meal. They also charge $1.15 for an old fashioned donut which was also smaller than industry standard. If you are into small portions and high prices. This location isn't bad. read more
I came here for a dozen bagels around noon and they were only willing to sell me a half dozen. This really isn't that type of place. They mainly make bagel sandwiches, rather than actually making and selling bagels. The half dozen that I ordered was *ok*, I'm from New York and am probably pickier than most when it comes to bagels. I didn't really feel like this $11 half dozen was any better than the bagels that I could buy at the supermarket for less than half that price. I wouldn't come back here if I'm ever looking for bagels. read more

So yummy the bagel was so soft. Only critique was the bacon didn't seem as fresh maybe premade a few hrs before opening? Not sure but nonetheless it was a delicious breakfast. read more
This place exceeded my expectations for what my bagel was about to taste like. I got an everything bagel with ham egg cheese and cream cheese. They don't skimp on amount quality or flavor. The bagel was super fresh too feeling and still warm when I picked it up. When I pulled the bagel apart, the cheese stretched out of it like a commercial read more
I love to buy their mini bagels and put them in the freezer! If you want to purchase in quantity, order ahead of time! Best texture! Support local! read more
