Bageltopia, Say no more! I am not sure why I thought this would be a small restaurant- it's not! It's pretty big for a bagel spot. The walls have great decorations throughout. Variety of bagels - menu changes at times, and so do their specials- I got spinach bagel with sunny side up! This could def be a shareable one. The eggs were cooked to perfection and it honestly, just waters in your mouth. The service was great! They are extremely acknowledgeable and they often give you their faves for you to try if you don't know what to get! read more

Hello everyone, my wife and I, went to Bageltopia and had some of the greatest bagels in the Bay Area. The service was great and there is enough space for you and several friends. I had the Neptune bagel which was off the chain. My wife had a sesame bagel with blueberry lavender cream cheese. They were so good we ordered a second one. If you're looking for a great bagel, try Bageltopia. read more

The service is super kind and helpful. I made a pick up order mentioning the missing salt bagel and was given 2 on the house. This is the only place I come to for bagels now lol. I wish they had egg bagel but I love getting poppy, everything, salt, plain, and sesame, My husband and I are also big fans of their salmon lox even though we kinda have ourselves the ick for smoked salmon but I had a lox bagel elsewhere literally two days after this one and the quality of Bageltopias salmon is unmatched fr. Cute shop and I was able to get some writing done in the back corner for a bit after enjoy my bagel brunch. Also want to confirm these freeze SO well, better than the other bagel spots around me that I've tried. read more

With a place being called Bageltopia this place truly doesn't disappoint and lives up to the name! They offer a pretty decent sized menu from breakfast bagel sandwiches to lunch ones which is very nice. Options galore when it comes to bagels too which is very nice and they make them all in house. I usually go with the Farmstand and it has the eggs over easy on top of a bunch of greens. Amazing flavor and a great start to the morning. The staff here is always very nice and they are usually really quick to get your order out even when they are very busy. The location is really nice too and they offer a ton of seating which is needed during to the demand of their yummy bagels! If you're in the North Berkeley area and needing a good fuel up for the morning or lunch this a really decent spot. read more

I love lox bagels, but I've been wanting to try a vegan alternative, so Yelp took me to Bageltopia! The interior (and exterior, with construction overlooked) was super cute and decorated for the Fall with pumpkins sprinkled around the store. There was no wait on a Friday afternoon and plenty of tables open. Lemon-topia: A vegan lox bagel that I quite enjoyed! I didn't taste as much of the lemon but it might've just been the half I ate. I love the greens + the vegan "salmon" itself, made out of carrots, was super yummy! Farmstand(?): We meant to order the Homestead to try the tofu scramble, but there was a slight miscommunication. Still, this one was delishhh with the basil butter and again, the greens just made our lunch super satisfying to eat. The everything bagel itself was also a wonderful texture. French Toast Bagel: These are sweet cinnamon-raisin bagel bites, and a great sweet balance to add to our savory bagels. Reminded me of a more dough-ey version of mall pretzel bites, topped with thick lemon-ricotta cream and maple syrup. Heavy, so I would never eat these on its own, but I enjoyed nonetheless. The person we ordered with was super nice + everybody here was just chill. Would love to come back to try all their vegan options. read more

Bageltopia was at the annual Bizerkeley Vegan Food Fest on September 7th this year! I can't believe this was my first time hearing of them, because I LOVE bagels. The team was very approachable and friendly even when we were just checking out the menu. They offered 3 items for the festival. We went with the Vegan Supernova ($7) which had house-smoked carrot in place of lox (smoked salmon)! Such a great deal for a food festival in my opinion. Every bite was so refreshing & I wish it was a full bagel so I had more to savor. I've never had smoked carrot before either, and honestly despite the lack of protein as a salmon replacement, it was actually really delicious. It was perfectly Smoky and even had an umami flavor profile! I was tempted to go back and ask if I could just buy a plate of the carrots. I really enjoyed the playful vibe of their logo & wonder how their store front is decorated to match! I can't wait to stop by to see what else they have to offer. read more

Bageltopia came highly recommended by a few friends! The inside is spacious with a decent amount of seating. The menu includes vegan and vegetarian options in addition to meat and other animal products. The menu also indicates that some of the bagels are hand-rolled! I ordered a New Jersey bagel, which came with eggs, sausage, cheese, and tomato jam. It was really good! I did order it on an everything bagel, but they accidentally gave me a plain bagel. No worries, though; it was still delicious! I stopped by the coffee shop Nextdoor to grab coffee to enjoy with my bagel. A very pleasant breakfast! I highly recommend. read more

Don't let the lines discourage you. I think go fast. Good selection and decent prices are very good bagels.

Bageltopia shares the same building with Fellini's Coffeebar. Decor is mostly windows, beige and cream coloured walls. Seems most bagels, cream cheese, nova lox et. al are made in house as stated on menu. Offerings: cream cheese, bagels, bagel/vegan sandwiches, sweet stuff, specials, covfefe. Ordered at counter, pd, buzzer buzzed in 10ish minutes. Bites: supernova everything bagel (16) -2 open faced half toasted bagels. Piled high with fresh tasty morsels: house made smoked lox, cream cheese, red onions shreds, sliced tomato/cucumbers, dill, capers. Each complements subtly the prominent flava of the lox. Eating slowly each bite brings the nuanced flavas in distinct not muted. Bagel has nice chew, tastes overshadowed by stronger smoked lox. Easily the best lox bagel eaten in awhile. 4.8 stars. Worthy. Guantity: great, guality: superb. read more

I could not say enough great things about this place. We had driven by a few times and the cute design was what caught my eye. After looking them up I saw they had great reviews, great flavors, and a fantastic selection for both vegetarians and vegans. It was immediately a must that we had to stop in. My boyfriend tried a meat breakfast sandwich, I tried a vegan breakfast sandwich but added egg, and then we shared the bagel of the month. We also tried the carrot lox, which was delicious and Smokey. My breakfast sandwich was open faced and so full of flavor. The tofu scramble was not watery or bland like most places, it was perfect. The onions and arugula added a nice freshness to it. My partner was nervous for his sandwich to be plain or basic, but he was happily surprised to find that it was also extremely flavorful and delicious. The bagel of the month that we tried was a pesto bagel, and we got the veggie cream cheese. The bagel itself was full of pesto- you could see it throughout the bread. It was incredible. The cream cheese had a proper abundance of vegetables, and was lighter than most cream cheeses. We really appreciated this and it made us want to eat much more, instead of wiping the cream cheese off like some places. The bagels themselves were delectable. I like bagels, and have had good ones, but realized on this day I had never had one that was truly *great*. These are outstanding. Don't miss a chance to come here if you are nearby. read more

I have never had a bagel flight...until now. What a fun concept to try a variety of different cream cheeses on mini bagels for a party of one! This was the first time I've been to Bageltopia in Berkeley after driving by it all the time. So happy I finally made it in! Vibe is the good ol' order at the register, get a buzzer, sit down, buzzer goes off kind of feel. Also to note, there is parking in the rear of businesses fyi, that I didn't notice until I found metered street parking! Currently they have a fun, spring special where you can try three different cream cheeses on mini bagels including cream cheese flavors like date & honey, black garlic, and calabrian chili..yes please! I love bagels and have a specific bagel order, but it's a commitment. The choice of being able to have a sampling of what a bagel joint offers is genius! Would honestly love to see more of this in the East Bay.. The interior of this biz gives warm and cozy..love the bagel wall art and overall friendly atmosphere. They have lotsa vegan options so def a place to bring your friends too that are looking for alternatives. Other current Spring specials are a Banana Chocolate Chip Bagel and Garlic-Blue Cream Cheese..yum! Looks like from the menu, these bagels are boiled and baked. They also offer drip coffee, bagel sammies, lox options, salads, and more. Worthy of a trip to have a little brekky fun! read more

Friend and I stopped by for a bagel on a Sunday morning after coffee, and wow was this place packed! We found a cozy spot to sit that near the window where you can see the magic happening. I got a toasted salted bagel with garlic smear and lox on top. It was a delicious breakfast but the salt was very heavy handed on the bagel. Will come back to the the other flavors next time! read more

So yum! The woman with silver hair at the counter was incredibly kind, and everyone else was just as welcoming. The space is bright and sunny with great vibes. The bagels were super soft, and the menu had many creative bagel options. Most bagel places feel kind of, mid, I can tell that they're really trying to appeal to the californian bagel enjoyer. The quality of service really stands out, especially for the Downtown Berkeley area. read more

Bageltopia in Berkeley specializes in New York-style bagels with a California twist. They have a whole menu section with vegan options, but I tried the Lemonnova open-faced sandwich, made of house-smoked nova lox, lemon garlic aioli, baby greens, cucumbers, and onion sprouts, all served on two halves of a toasted bagel. I ordered the everything bagel, covered on both sides with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and dried onion. The bagel was perfectly chewy and not too dense, though the nova lox slices were on the salty side. Their September special bagel was the Black Pepper Parmesan, which had a nice umami flavor combined with the chewy dough. The Black Garlic Cream Cheese had an indescribably unique garlicky, umami flavor as well, making for a tasty pairing! read more

Passed by this stand at the Bizerkeley Food Fest. $5 for a superclasssic on everything bagel was a pretty good deal. It wasn't bad but wasn't anything that stood out. Wish they had roasted the bagel though, it seemed like they just put the cream cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, dill, and capers on top. I had also expected it to be a whole bagel, but we only got the bottom half. read more

Bageltopia - Super classic on everything bagel - Bagels Near Me - Berkeley, California

Bageltopia is another new entry in the Bay Area bagel landscape. What with incredible bagel spots like Boichik, Poppy's, and Beauty's all within a ten mile radius of each other, it's hard to imagine any new bagel shop standing out. And, the verdict? Bageltopia is just okay. A notch above your standard Noah's bagel but not a worthy contender for the top bagel spot in the east bay. Regardless, the bagels here are fresh, moist, and decently priced for the quality received. I ordered the sesame bagel with date honey cream cheese. The cream cheese portion left a bit to be desired but at the very least, the sesame bagel quality delivered in flavor and made up for the lack of spread. read more

Went their on a quick lunch break with my colleagues, there was no line and the food came out pretty quickly even with 9 of us there. It was clean and the server/cashier was very nice! I got the Mendicino turkey bagel sandwich and it was very good! Was a bit messy so I would recommend eating at a table or with a bunch of napkins. It was a bit pricy, for a bagel and a soft drink it was 20 dollars but overall I'd come back and have something else. read more

As a reviewer of all things vegan, I was super psyched about this place. Vegan options + friendly staff, so I don't mind the cost. I go often for my bagel fix. Unfortunately, I've had to knock it down several stars bc there was salmon in my "vegan" bagel sandwich. I wish there could be a fully vegan breakfast place in Berkeley, the key word is Breakfast. Otherwise you always run the risk of getting some animal flesh or excretion in your meal read more

Location - A-: Busy location, but they make up for it with ample parking. Parking - A+: There is lots of parking, although I wasn't sure if they were affiliated with the coffee shop next door. I'm still not sure. Interior - A: I like what they've done with the place. Exterior - A: Nice outdoor seating. Ordering process - B-: We ordered online, which was easy enough, but they got one of the orders slightly wrong. Portion size - C-: At first we thought these were mini bagels. Taste - B+: While they got part of our order wrong, what we got was pretty good. Cost - D: High - based on the size of the bagel they used for our breakfast sandwiches, but this is an easy fix - just make the bagels normal size. There's lots of ways to cut costs, but making a very familiar product smaller shouldn't be one of them. BB BB read more

Great bagels with fixings. Nice ambience and next door to Felini's, a great coffee place.

Delicious and affordable vegan options! The vegan cream cheese has significantly improved since I first started eating here, and now you can't tell the difference between it and normal cream cheese. I only get takeout, so I can't speak much on the service and atmosphere, but overall seems nice from the times I've been inside :) read more

Honestly best bagel I've had in a while! Got their sesame bagel w/calabrian chili cc and it was spectacular. It had the right amount of cream cheese where it's oozing in the center just like they do in NYC. Service super fast, cafe like ambiance. Prices super reasonable but keep in mind bagels are just a tad bit on the smaller side. read more

Chai from Fellini, next door. They only have regular coffee at Bageltopia. Bit of walk from Bart, but was in area for dental appointment. About a mile to work up my appetite. Plenty of space indoors but still pretty busy Friday at 9am. Nice clean comfortable dine in experience. Easy ordering, got veganova , on sesame, not toasted. It's one of the few things I miss since wfpb conversion. You get a pager for when order ready, which I find very useful. Looks like the really thing!! Pretty dang close in texture and flavor to the original. Slightly less fishy but tasty. Nice to have a similar bagel experience for both vegan and non vegan, and not just a few vegan options. I hope to try other options but am rarely in the area. read more

Easy to access location with a decent sized parking lot, clean eating area, and friendly staff. Popped in around 9:45am on a Saturday which was perfect timing because it was wicked busy by 10:30 and there was a line/wait for a table. Drip coffee was decent and the supernova bagel sandwich was tasty and the lox/vegetables were fresh. The regular everything bagel was well made and the gluten free bagels don't taste like dense bricks so I was impressed. They took extra time with the gf order to ensure minimal cross contamination which was appreciated. I grew up eating NY bagels so I can be picky but I was happy overall and I will visit again. read more

So I went to a great Berkeley to an event all about Vegan food and the creativity was interesting!! As I love lox and bagels, this place quickly caught my eye. Ordering was super easy and the staff were very friendly. I knew they were going to be busy for a long time. As I didn't see the full menu until after I ordered, I noticed so many choices, including actual salmon. But hey, when at a vegan event, try the vegan twist. So I tried the Vegan Carrot Lox. You got a choice for either a regular or an everything bagel and it came open faced and you only got one side of the bagel.... The bagel was a bit tough and the carrots were a bit hard to bite through. There was plenty of cream cheese and I loved the tomato. For breakfast it was a light "healthier" meal. Now I have never been to their location in Berkeley so I'm not sure about the ambiance. I would definitely go back if I was in the area and try something else. They seemed to be reasonably priced and a large portion. My partner and I shared one because there was so much food at the event. The presentation of the food looked nice and fresh! read more

Cute stop along the Main Street. We tried to bagels on a whim the plain bagel with peach/ginger (seasonal) cream cheese and the Asiago basil bagel with plain cream cheese. As for the bagels it was alright. Definitely get it toasted. Was a little bummed the seasonal cream cheese tasted more just like ginger no peaches at all really. Although it was fast service, nice roomy space, and a good place for a Sunday morning. read more

I've gone here about 5 times now and it's been a favorite of mine since discovering it. I do tell everyone about this place due to the quality of the bagels. However they are quite pricey and today it appears from my online order I was warned that they are now charging $1 for each bagel to have it toasted. They were kind enough to not charge me for it this time however if that is true that is a huge deterrence for me to go in the future. I had selected their bulk bagel which when I looked at it itemized, they ended up charging me per bagel so it wasn't even a deal if I purchased mor Their bagels are already very pricey, plus add on the price of cream cheese, and now if I want my bagel toasted an additional $1. It's becoming 7$ for just a bagel with cream cheese. And of note their bagel sandwiches are upwards of $17. I can't say that the quality is matching the price point they've set. read more

Yummmy! I love their bagels and their vegan options. My husband is on occasions a vegan. Lol. They have always been pleasant when I've gone and I love how I can easily get a Fellini's coffee there too read more

Meh - really underwhelming bagels. After having several New York bagels, these just don't hold a candle. I always get the same thing everywhere - an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese - it's a solid combo. They just didn't pull it off how I'd expect them to given all the hype. The bagels are not hefty enough, the dough is not right. It tastes pretty similar to a store bought bagel. Wasn't impressed, and for the price, it isn't worth it. I think the bar for bagels in the west coast is very low, hence the high ratings here. Would not return. read more

The bagel game in the East Bay is strong, so Bageltopia is a new one on the scene. Owned by the little coffee kiosk next door, this space is big that has a ton of seating and the menu is offering up bagels and bagel sandwiches. The bagels here are fine, but not quite nyc levels. It has the crisp, but not the chew. They have a slew of vegan cream cheeses and sandwiches, along with the non vegan variety. I was told the non vegan cream cheeses is Philadelphia brand and they add the add-ins for the flavored cream cheese options. The sandwich menu includes veggies, lox, along with bagels with scrambled or fried eggs. Another bonus, they have a parking lot. While, I prefer other bagels in the area, Bageltopia is a fine spot for a dine-in option and more conveniently located if you live in central Berkeley. While on a weekend there was no line, there was a bit of wait. read more

Cool new bagel spot on university with a ton of vegan options! I got the veganova on a fennel and salt bagel. It came open faced with vegan cream cheese, cucumber, carrot lox, red onion, and capers. I was super impressed with the carrot lox and the quality of the bagel! Probably one of the best bagels I've had in the bay. My main complaint though is they did not give me enough cream cheese at all! I can't even rate it because it was barely on there. I've only been once though so hopefully it's not standard. I do want to go back and try more things on the menu because there's a lot of unique items. My friend got an everything bagel with lox cream cheese, cucumber, and red onion and rated it a 3/5. Not enough seasoning on the bagel or lox in the cream cheese. I'm vegan so I didn't get to try it, but it's nice they have a large menu with stuff for both vegans and non vegans. Overall, the food and service was good! The inside is nice with a ton of seating and WiFi. It would be a good place to get work done (on the weekdays, it might be busy on the weekends) if you don't need it to be super quiet, and is definitely a nice spot to come with friends. They also serve drip coffee but you can go next door if you want to order espresso. I think it's a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Really good bagel sooo worth it! They reallly load it up with the salmon and that alone is tasty enough.

Service is fast, staff is friendly, and there's lots of seating to go with friends. read more
