No frills No thrills Straight up good bagels at a fraction of the price they could be! Only $3.50 for a toasted sesame bagel with cream cheese! The scene is very '70s hippie like with bad art indiscriminately placed with no sense of aesthetic. A bit of a cleanup is in order and a little more attention to detail could spruce it up. But, there certainly is charm in its current state. Simply a great product at a low price point and fast, friendly service. Get your coffee next-door to avoid the air pot pump offerings here. (normally cold or nasty in those air pump things) This is strictly bagels- no need to push the caffeine despite the revenue loss. Just 30+ years of an honest bagel shop focusing on the BAGEL! A lot of variety for only 20$ a dozen. Grab a bag or two and take them to your workmates or your family. A solid satisfying chewy treat! And it can't be beat...... read more

Unfriendly counter service. Undistinguished bagel. Plus, I asked for it to be toasted, they served it almost raw. No pitcher of water available, they begrudgingly gave me a cup of tapwater. Dreary atmosphere. Trading on past reputation, I would guess, and a choice location. Just, no. read more

Quick moving line with good menu options. Little dingy inside but enjoyed the outdoor seating area! - breakfast bagel 3/5 : was a little disturbed by the egg being cooked in the microwave, but I should've known looking at their open kitchen they were working with limited equipment. Aside from that, the bagel itself had a nice fluffy, slightly chewy texture that I really liked! The asiago flavor did not come through though. - lox bagel 4/5 : nice ratio if lox to onion, caper, lettuce and tomato! Really enjoyed this one. Wished the bagel was toasted more read more

Love driving up in the early morning and picking up freshly made bagels. Onion, tomato and sesame are my go-to.

the customer service was horrible. this place is not inclusive and you can tell they did not cater to me the same way they did to the customer in front of me. very inconsistent abs the employee is Latino same as me. Spoke to him in Spanish and he couldn't "understand" spoke to him in English and he was still rude and dismissive. Very sad working in San Anselmo does not make you white sir and didn't even bother to cut the bagel or cared too read more

Lifelong customer of Barton's and the bagels have always been delicious. However, the hygiene needs to be addressed. The woman at the counter barely rinsed her hands after working the register before making the bagels with no gloves. The gentleman at the counter was obviously sick and thankfully wore a mask but with no handwashing that doesn't really make a difference. Lastly my friend ordered and paid for tomatoes on her bagel. When it came without; she politely asked about it and was simply told "NO." This isn't the first time the orders have been messed up but given it's a local business we want to continue and support we never said anything until the hygiene was quite alarming. Hope to see this fixed! It's a staple! read more

The best bagels in Marin are absolutely marred by some of the worst customer service I've ever experienced in a bagel shop, the guy at the counter Acts like he doesn't care about his job at all and was throwing my food around like it was a fucking joke to him, for somebody who spent 14 years in the food industry, I can do nothing but laugh, I feel bad for the people of San Anselmo because what was once once far and away. the best bagel shop in Marin has since been slandered by terrible customer service. I'll be back but it certainly isn't for the people. read more

There's a lot of on-line chatter about which place makes the best bagel. In New York City, I waited in a line that stretched out the front door for what was supposedly a great bagel. When I unwrapped my purchase and took a bite I declared it "a good bagel" but no better than any other freshly made bagel I've had from purveyors of such. Barton's Bagels also makes good, fresh bagels, a fact I was reminded of on a recent visit. I arrived when the line was short and quick moving but while I sat enjoying mine (salt bagel, lightly toasted, lox shmear) the line grew so long that I was glad I'd arrived when I did. It was finals week and all the nearby high schoolers - apparently - come here when they're finished. Barton's Bagels stands the test of time. My sons are long out of high school but they continue to make a stop here when in town. It's nothing fancy but the prices are right and you know what? They make a darned good bagel. read more

Delicious fresh bagels & homemade spreads ! We love the Asiago and the sun dried tomato bagels, and my grandson loves the cinnamon sugar bagels, as well as their bagel dogs. A good spot for a snack or a casual breakfast to-go! I wish they would make their dining area look a little nicer, as it does look run down and tired, but their bagels are excellent. read more

We have never experienced such rude and inept service. My son and I arrived, and asked for a half a dozen bagels. The man at the counter started rapidly cutting them all and putting them on the toaster, which we had not asked for. For some reason he was already annoyed and snapped "what do you want on them?!?". It was only the. That we realized they were our bagels he was cutting. I said "stop", though my son tried to be politely placating by saying "it's OK just please don't cut the others". The man responded by throwing up his hands, walking toward the back and saying "I can't help you I'll get someone else" We left. I'm all for supporting local businesses but not when people are rude like that. The only reason that this is 2 stars and not one is that my son insists that people have been nice other times. I'll just go to Noah's, thanks. read more

They don't carry everything bagels and the seedy bagels are disappointing. They do not have garlic or salt.. the other bagels are good, but no everything bagels is a deal breaker. read more

These are great bagels in a simple place which i love. Just like it was when i used to take my kids here after painting pottery next door about 13 years ago. Prices are right and these bagels stay fresh long- which for me means a lot- i dislike the ones that turn to rocks on the next morn! Nice outdoor seating in that down town street of San Anselmo. I saw a debate on Nextdoor about who has the best NY bagels- (this was voted No. 1)and thus brought me here- to a place i had been before & thought had long disappeared. Nice to discover again. #everthingToasted with herb shmear and cucumbers! read more

Bartons bagels are absolutely delicious and an incredible value. Salt bagel with butter is like $2 and such a treat.

This is my favorite bagel place in the Bay Area. Just right thin slightly crispy/chewy crust and delicious flavor. I drive from the East Bay just to stock up! read more

Bagels are good but the ordering system and service isn't. Presentation and attention to detail is lacking.

Eagles are very good. The only bad thing about this place is that they don't use ANY gloves when preparing your food. That is disgusting. The food administration should pay a visit to this place. I won't come back for the fact they don't use gloves. Who knows what germs they'll leave on your food. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The workers were extremely rude when I asked them to remake my bagel since they used the wrong cream cheese. When they did it they used barely any and it wasn't even spread well. I originally asked for a refund but he said they don't do that ? I would much rather go to the coffee rosters next door that have such good breakfast sandwiches and bagels with super friendly workers. Please steer clear of this place!! read more

Always a pleasure to stop in to this top notch bagel shop when I come to San Anselmo.

Bagels are pretty good. Staff is downright rude and condescending. Service is terrible; they don't use gloves and speak rudely to customers. The interior is shabby and run down. Go to house of bagels instead. read more

Great bagels for a decent price, considering the area. Orders come out fast and warm. I wish they would put a bit more spread on the bagels but overall a great, quick breakfast option. read more

Went in looking for something that might resemble my beloved New York bagels and got a surprise of a lifetime. $10 for this thing is criminal. Schmear only on one side and it's not a even covering that one side. Brought it up to the guy and he goes "yeah we only do smear on one side" Who the heck wants a bagel with schmear only on one side. For $10!? This tiny morsel. They should be embarrassed. I had to purchase an overpriced extra container of schmear from them just to make my one bagel. What a rip off! The could have at least pretended to care and handled that by fixing it this time and then I would've left happy but knowing better for the next time. But nope. Forget this place. read more

This is my new favorite bagel shop. I stumbled upon Barton's Bagels recently and stopped by on a Saturday morning. There was already a long line when I arrived. They have a good variety including Asiago, garlic, tomato basil, pumpkin, rye, sesame, chocolate, and blueberry. Their bagels are fresh and chewy, well worth the price at a $1.10 a piece. I got a half dozen bagels: sesame, Asiago, garlic, and pumpkin. They also sell mini bagels, day old bagels, and other items on the menu. They are located in downtown San Anselmo. Street parking only. Friendly service and fast service. They accept credit cards. read more

We love the bagels and have been going here for 15+ years. Today was the third time we were treated extremely rudely by the morning staff. There are two relatively new people, a man and a woman, working in the morning. The woman consistent gets the order wrong, and the man is surly to the point of nasty, especially if we dare to ask for the order to be corrected, for the bagel to be cut in half or if we stand in the "wrong" place. We won't be going here anymore despite our love of the bagels which is sad and a testament to have badly we feel after our interactions with them now. Our weekly morning tradition with our son has been soured to the point that it is no longer worth going. read more

I asked if I could add diced tomotes to my egg sandwich he said no I'm not doing that for you very rudely horrible attitude I said ok ! That's alright then i asked if they had bac they said can you not read the menu? So I walked out never experienced such a rude bagel place! Anyways never going back bad experience read more

I've been coming here for years. Best bagels in the Bay Area. I'll drive across the bay to get a dozen of these bagels. Not too hard and not too doughy. They're just right. read more

The bagels are fantastic. The counter and service setup needs help. If you go to the counter and want a couple of bagels to go and someone in front of you orders 4 sandwiches, you have to wait for them. The counter is huge and could easily accommodate another cash register at the other end for folks who either want sandwiches or to-go bagels. The line would move much faster. I've walked out of there many times because the wait was ridiculous. Easy to fix: one bagel-only line and one line for sandwiches! read more

Very tasty bagels Cinnamon sugar bagel is delicious but they won't toast it for some reason. Would be much better toasted with butter but oh well Chocolate chip bagel good I guess bc my girlfriend stole it and ate it all The jalepeno bagel is perhaps my favorite These are good bagels Reminds me of old school bagel shop in Davis Ca from 20 years ago read more

Best bagels in Marin! Love Barton's Their bagels are delicious. Fast service, nice location.

Bagels were amazing. Fluffy inside nice crisp crunch outside. And even more amazing, decently priced ! It was about $ 1.25 per bagel. And they also sold day old bagels a dozen for $6. I wished I lived closer. I got the breakfast sandwich and iced the salsa in it. And they were very generous with the egg. Can't wait to stop by again when I am in the area read more

I live in the neighborhood and pop in every now and then. Will never go there again after my last visit on Friday morning. I received my bagel and it was barely toasted and all of the cream cheese was on one side. No biggie. I went back in to ask to have it actually fully toasted and I was practically run out of the shop. I was extremely reasonable and nice completely perplexed as to the hostility over a simple request that I didn't mind waiting to have fulfilled (had already been waiting 15 minutes for my first bagel so at this point what did it matter). Finally I just kind of laughed it off and asked if I could just get a new bagel and I will go home to toast it (which I did). The guy tossed a new bagel at me in a bag and barked at me to get cream cheese from the refrigerator. When I asked if he would mind cutting it in half, he lost it and said I was the problem (not the new toaster that apparently is slow and doesn't work well) and other such nonsense. It was pure insanity all around over a toasted bagel request. Absolutely horrendous customer service. Never been treated so terribly by one of our lovely downtown establishments. When I was sharing my experience at the park with a neighbor, he knew exactly which guy I was talking about and said he's had similar experiences with him at both places he works at downtown. Not a great San Anselmo friendly representative in the least. read more
