    Turkey sandwich and Thai tea
    Ruby S.

    Food and drinks were delicious and fairly priced. Has a cute comfy vibe and the service was very nice

    Iced coffee
    Joanna B.

    Stopped for a quick coffee before making our way to the golden gate and we were very pleased! We ordered two iced coffees, a bagel sandwich, and a croissant sandwich and all were delicious! The location was right on the way to all of our destinations so it was very convenient. The service was great, we would definitely come back.

    Bagel sandwich

    I read all the reviews. First Cup should be your first choice for breakfast and lunch. My breakfast sandwich was ready in about 3 minutes. Coffee is delicious too. I will be back daily now.

    Packaging for bagel and latte

    A cute local cafe with reasonable prices! Great for coffee or a quick bite. The sandwiches are hefty and full of flavor.

    Ham egg cheese croissant sandwich

    Fire breakfast sandwich, husband and wife behind the counter, convenient location. In and out in under 5 minutes. What more do you want from your neighborhood breakfast sandwich spot?

    Iced coffee, and the blended taro
    EM E.

    I was staying at a nearby hotel and saw the great reviews for this place. If I wanted hot coffee, they had a convenient side station for it. I couldn't decide what I wanted so I got the Iced coffee, and the blended taro drink which I highly recommend. My fiancé got a breakfast bagel and an iced mocha and loved it. The woman working behind the counter was very nice too! Definitely going to stop by again on my next trip.

    Bacon, egg, cheese and avocado in a tortilla
    Rob M.

    THE BEST deal for a breakfast sandwich in the area. If you are staying near the Fisherman's Wharf area this is worth the trek. Just a simple "mom n pop" in an area let alone a City where this is scarce. You can go to your reliable comfort zone of a chain where they unwrap your breakfast from it's plastic wrap or come here and support some people making your stuff fresh. I had a simple bacon, egg, cheese and avocado wrap. What made their breakfast sando different was she toasted it and it came out like a quesadilla suiza. SO GOOD.

    Rise and Shine! Ever…read moresince I heard about Rise Bagel, I've been craving a really good bagel. Unfortunately, I don't live in SoCal and don't have one near me, so I've been on a mission to find something that could satisfy the craving. I've had my fair share of lox bagels, but this was definitely the first time I've ever dropped $20 on ONE bagel. Sounds a little obnoxious, I know, but after eating it, I fully believe it was worth it. After many trials, errors, and disappointing lox bagels, I think I finally found the one. The thick, smooth cream cheese paired perfectly with the salty, buttery smoked salmon, all piled onto a perfectly toasted bagel. Then you get that little briny, pickled punch from the capers that cuts through the richness of the cream cheese and balances everything out. And when they call this a bagel sandwich, they mean BUSINESS. The second you see it served open-faced and absolutely loaded with toppings, you know they're not messing around. Personally, I actually prefer my lox bagels open-faced because it makes it easier to eat and lets you enjoy each half without everything sliding out after one bite. Is $20 for a bagel slightly unhinged? Maybe. Would I pay it again? Absolutely. If you're a smoked salmon or lox bagel person like me, this one is definitely worth the splurge.

    I am usually not a big breakfast person, but today I was in the mood for a quick one. I was…read morerecommended this place and was 1 minute away, so I decided to try it out. One thing that I look for when I got to places like this is cleanliness. I can say they passed the test. Things looked clean and orderly. It's a small cafe with one indoor table and few outside ones. As soon I walked in I was greeted by staff member. Since it was my first time I needed sometime to look over menu to decide what to get. I opted for the Mediterranean bagel and added bacon and avocado. I couldn't decide what coffee to get, and asked the cashier his advice. To which he replied the maple and sage coffee was good. I decide to try it out. Mediterranean bagel 5/5 sooo good, they have a variety of bagels to choose from. I was debating between the Calabrian chili bagel which sounded interesting. But decided to get garlic bagel instead. It surely didn't disappoint! It has perfect amount of garlic and was fresh. I believe they make there bagels here in house. I added bacon and avocado to this one, and it took this sandwich up a notch. The bagel was perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and filling. Maple and sage Coffee 2/5 Ok, so I decided to get this one iced (you can get this hot or cold). I was disappointed in this drink because, I couldn't taste the sage at all in this drink. It's such a unique specialty coffee and I would've loved taste a nice balance of the maple and sage. It tasted more like a caramel iced coffee to me. So I went will opt out of this drink next time. Service 5/5 Staff here is friendly the young man that was the cashier; was super helpful and patient in helping me decide on what to order. Now this place is a bit pricy I will say for bagel with added on bacon and avocado it was 20 dollars, and coffee was 7 dollars. Altogether, I spent almost 30 dollars. Overall, I feel this place is a great choice of you're looking for a quick breakfast and coffee. Nice staff, clean, and has indoor and outdoor seating if you prefer to hangout and enjoy the weather on a sunny day in SF.

    Great Reuben Sandwiches!…read more This location is very convenient to BART (24th Street / Mission station). It is only a three block walk from the station. My wife and I were meeting someone in San Francisco in the afternoon and we wanted to eat lunch beforehand. We were interested in trying Wise Sons Deli since we have heard so many people praising it. Since we were coming into the city via BART, this location was great. The ambiance is pretty basic; ordinary tables and chairs and only some photos on one wall. You order and pay at the counter and then someone will deliver the food to the table. If you want coffee or water it is serve-yourself. However, the food is fantastic! My wife ordered a corned beef Reuben sandwich ($18.50). It was thick and very tasty. I ordered a House Special Pastrami Reuben that had a smaller Reuben sandwich, french fries, a side of cole slaw, and a drink ($19.50). While it had half as much meat as the regular Reuben, it was still a good size. They make their own Pastrami and Corned Beef and it tastes great. My wife normally doesn't like Pastrami but loved the taste of Pastrami made by Wise Sons. The meat is thick, tender, juicy, and DELICIOUS!

One of the staff members recommended the Salsa Seca with Jalapeño Spread. Salsa Seca translates to "dry salsa" and the bagel has a really nice kick to it! They use Sierra Nevada Cheese handmade Gina Marie Cream Cheese, roasted jalapeños and salt to season it. It's thick and creamy! One of the best bagels I've ever had, just fantastic, 5/5 stars! I would HIGHLY recommend this small business and we'll definitely be returning next time we hit up one of their farmer's markets or check out their store front! Midnite Bagel sold its first bagel in 2018. They are more healthier, easier to digest and have a great shelf life, compared to other bagels! SYOY! :-)

There isn't too much to say…read moreabout this bagel spot: if you're looking for great bagels, quick service, and a friendly team, I'd definitely check this place out. Okay... I guess I should elaborate a little more for all y'all faithful Yelp readers. I tried a couple of different bagels at Noe Bagel. The sesame and everything bagels are both generously coated, with a beautiful outer crust that has just the right texture. The inside is soft and chewy. It's a classic New York-style bagel that will satisfy even your strongest bagel cravings. The mini bagels maintain that same excellence, just in a smaller form. Because of their size, the crust-to-center ratio gives you more of the micro-blistered snap that I love about bagels. Personally, I'd choose two or three minis over one regular bagel. The cream cheese is also excellent--well-balanced and smooth. My favorite is the blueberry cream cheese. It has just a hint of sweetness that brings out the richness and creaminess of the cheese. And, like many spots in San Francisco, they offer a sourdough bagel. It's quite different from their sourdough bread, but I enjoyed it. If you're visiting, I'd recommend giving it a try. For my everyday go-to, I'd stick with a classic sesame or plain bagel, but Noe Bagel has enough variety to keep things interesting if you want to switch it up regularly. As a bonus, they sell day-old bagels by the bag for $4. You can freeze them, eat them as-is, or repurpose them into bread pudding. You'll end up with an interesting dish thanks to all the different bagel varieties mixed together--but that's part of the fun!
