Nice place to grab and go bagels made fresh every morning by these kind women. I've had many bagels here. They have a great variety from sweet to savory. Soft and chewy . A few different cream cheese flavors. I love the walnut raisin. Service is good and quick. It's a walk-in establishment with a couple tables and chairs. Parking is on the street. 24th can be busy however there is a very nice little park right across the street so it's fun to go sit and people watch as you enjoy your bagel . read more

We were in the neighborhood because of a vet appointment recently and did a quick taste test between Holey Bagel and Noe Bagel. I'm sure there are fans for both, but we are in the opinion that Holey Bagel is slightly more delicious on this visit. Really enjoyed my sesame bagel with cream cheese and tomato. Friendly service also helps. read more

Just a solid bagel joint. They also carry amazing salt bagels, which you don't find everywhere. However, these do tend to sell out quickly - they often don't make it past 10 am. 5-stars because they deserve better than 3.5. read more

TLDR: A half step above Noah's/Posh/Boichik, yet still pales in comparison to the Laundromat. Will not go out of my way, but if absolutely craving a bagel and in Noe, this would be my stop. Longer: I stumbled into Holey Bagel on a sunny Saturday shortly after choking down half a bagel from Boichik (my second time trying Boichik, even more disappointing than my first experience. Even though it was toward the end of their day, there was still a fair variety of flavors. There were a few people behind the counter talking amongst themselves. Thinking back, I'm not sure anyone acknowledged my presence beyond an eventual nod and something to the effect of "what would you like?" A little cold, but they were ready to go home and I can't blame them. Interior is not inviting, but iirc, there were a few seats inside, plus a parklet right out their door. I took two everything, one salt, and one...I forget, plus a small garlic & herb cream cheese. $14 total felt like a lot for that... but I really wanted to scratch my bagel itch. I ate half of an everything bagel and the best part was the flavorful cream cheese. The bagel was okay enough, they're likely best very very first thing in the morning. My boyfriend agreed that it was slightly better than Boichik in the flavor and better texture. That being said, we didn't finish the bagels/I forgot about the two we left in the fridge. Oops. Next time I want a bagel, I'm making the trek to laundromat. read more

Bought a half dozen bagels from here a few afternoons ago. They were very stale.

They have every imaginable bagel, super just baked fresh and a ton of toppings and spreads. Great prices with a couple of tables. Difficult parking but friendly service!

I can't believe I have not reviewed this place yet! This is my forever favorite - quick and yummy weekend go-to Bagel spot in Noe valley. This is a hole in the wall - cutesy- family run bagel store that has my heart! You cannot go wrong with this place. Food : They have so many varieties of Bagel to choose from - Blueberries, Oats, Everything bagel, onion, sesame, poppy and my all time favorite- Garlic Bagel. The bagels are fresh and soft and they toast it for you which provides that extra zing! You can choose to layer your bagels with tomatoes, lettuce, eggs, sausages, ham, lox, etc. and the end product is always terrific. They also sell homemade spreads that is displayed in their refrigerator. These are way way better than store bought spreads so go ahead and pick one up here even if its just Jalapeño cream cheese. You will absolutely love it! They pretty much sell out their popular bagels by early afternoon. Ambience : This place does not have a dine-in or dine-out. Its a To-go place and so there isn't anything contributing to a great ambience. The place is clean and smells of - Fresh Bagels, of course!! Staff : The service here is very quick. There are two people making the bagels while one person is at the counter. On weekends you see a line outside the store but it moves pretty quickly. The staff is friendly and attentive. Value for money : A plain cream cheese bagel can cost you anywhere between $3-$5 which I do not think is too expensive with the store being in Noe. Its my favorite Bagel place in SF so far! read more

I might be going to hell for writing this very honest review but here goes... I was starving and got an everything bagel (toasted) with regular cream cheese. It was the absolute worst thing I've ever eaten. The bagel was dense, dry and disgusting. It was rock hard even after being toasted and smeared with cream cheese. For $5 I expect something a bit more edible but as always my expectations of bagels outside of NYC are at an all time low. The staff were really nice and I feel like they're a small business that could use better reviews but I don't wanna lie on Yelp for likes. I just want to tell the truth and sleep at night. read more

For many years, this was a reliable place to get a nice bagel - crunchy/crusty on the outside, nice and soft and chewy on the inside. They've apparently stopped baking the bagels long enough to get the outsides done properly, so now the "bagel" is just a soft, bready mass. I bought one this morning, and I could barely slice the thing in half. It feels like they've cut a lot of corners over the years, but they're still charging $1.80. They've sunk to the level of Posh or Noah's - no need to stop here anymore. read more

Today I braved Holey Bagel, after months of passing by wistfully, feeling desire mixed with pandemic anxiety. I was excited! Most bagels are vegan, but not all, so I needed to ask "Are all the bagels vegan?" The two women working the counter said they didn't know. I said "You don't know what the ingredients are? Do they have eggs or honey?" They said "They come straight from the warehouse, we don't know what's in them!" They acted as if I were being unreasonable to ask such a crazy question. This is 2021. There are many vegans, not to mention people who are deathly allergic to various ingredients, etc. A bakery that sells its own products should be able to speak to what's in them. If your workers can't talk about youir product, you can label the trays, provide a menu, or create a book that lists ingredients--anything is better than "we don't know and we don't care." I'm trying to patronize a small local business that sells fresh goods. But their attitude is antiquated and not customer-friendly. Someone with dietary restrictions would do better at a chain store or at Amazon/Whole Foods. Very sad. read more

To be honest, this is not the first place I'd grab a bagel from. I was in the area with a friend looking for a quick meal, and this place had decent ratings, which is why we came. I got a breakfast bagel with sausage, and the ingredients tasted fake? It kind of felt like rubber -- the eggs and the sausage. The bagel itself tasted fine, but it was the add-ons that really let me down. My friend got something similar, and he was disappointed as well.

I've had plenty of egg-salad disasters, sandwich and otherwise, and I'm normally a very gun-shy person, but if a place has egg salad on its menu, I'll probably order it. Wise Sons always has egg salad on its menu. The problem is that it didn't have any egg salad on hand the first two times I came here.* Whatever I had instead, both times (and I had something different each time) was delicious. I don't know why I haven't tried the latkes yet. I guess I'm not a very wise son. The place is old school and feels perfect inside. It won't transport you magically to the past like many killer authentic interiors will, but it's very easy to imagine what the inside of this store looked like in 1941 or whenever. There was never more than one other person dining in each time I came. Maybe it's because I came so late in the day? More people would make it feel like a convivial breakfast destination. Empty, it feels like a good place with good food. Yes, it's overpriced, especially with all the delicious food you can get for cheaper within a few doors of this business on 24th Street in the Mission. But Wise Sons. It's a thing, a thing I'm glad I got wise to. *Did they sell out? Just didn't bother to make it? Who orders egg salad in the 2020s, anyway?

I didn't expect the baked tomato to be more like sun dried tomato paste and with the chopped lox, the saltiness was a bit overwhelming. I'll have to go back to try their other fillings.

(Accidentally reviewed the wrong location)!…read more This is definitely my favourite affordable bagel place. The egg and cheese breakfast bagel, specifically on everything bagel toasted is undefeated. It is so delicious so filling. There is no seating from what I remember so if you grab it you can always bring it to Golden Gate Park and enjoy it there. The bagels are quite dense. They have a great egg to cheese ratio. And the service is very quick!

I tried looking for this magical Gabriella's review but had to wayfind on my own so adding my directions & photos in case this may help others: -Map to: 2565 3rd Street. Look for what looks like a lobby. This is a public entrance! (You will see a parklet for the museum next door as a landmark) -Go left and get on the elevator (reads: for passengers not freight) and go to 3rd floor. -Get off the elevator, go left and then turn right down a hallway. You will reach this long cross-secting hallway with many doors. Go left. -Look for Suite 308 and ring the bell! They will welcome you in :)

That brings a great background of experience to Midnite Bagel. I first encountered them at the local farmers market then briefly at a brick and mortar shop on Irving Street in the inner Sunset. Now it's back to farmers markets and then, if all else fails, their bakery headquarters on Illinois Street in the Dogpatch neighborhood. Beware It's not a traditional store front or entrance. A little like connecting with a secret underground club or speakeasy! Lol!!! At the brick and mortar shop and the farmers market the staff is always nice and helpful with picking out bagels if undecided. If going to the Dogpatch location at least by now you'll know what you want. Place your order and pick it up. All their bagels are good fresh or toasted - plain, sesame, onion, poppy seed, Everything, etc. - plus their shmears and chocolate chip cookies!!!! I'll always do a dozen plus a scallion or plain shmear. Still wish for a brick and mortar location but in the meanwhile. I'll happily find them wherever they are!

I tried a sip of my friend's Horchata Latte and it was delicious as well. I had tried their Mexican Hot Chocolate and it was my first time ever trying Mexican Hot Chocolate, and I'm addictive now! Haha. I didn't think too much of it but I had ordered me a chocolate muffin and didn't care whether it was warmed up or not and they were nice enough to have it slightly warm for me which I thought was thoughtful :). The price is pretty reasonable for the quality of food. P.S. I had took a few photos of the bathroom pics that they had on the wall which I thought was cute and quirky.

I had a to-go order pick up and the packaging was cute, I always love when they write my name on the bag, it feels like an extra step to make it feel personal/special. I got the tuna bagel sandwich and an iced coffee. The tuna was perfect with the bagel giving almost a charcuterie/pate and cracker kind of vibe. The coffee was cold and strong. Prices are fair. Will definitely be back to journal or do some work!

Update to a Formerly Glowing Review…read more This is an update to what was once a glowing review of my beloved Pizzahacker. I've been going for many, many years (close to 10--or more?), so it pains me to say that some changes under new management have shifted the experience for me. Jeff Krupman, the founder and chef (who ended up being a friend!) sold the business to one of his longtime employees a year ago or more ago. (He still owns the Mill Valley location). While they tried to keep a lot of things the same h feel noticeably different. It's interesting that it still shows his name as manager. Here's what I've noticed--not in a good way: The menu now feels overwhelmingly meat-forward, with a dearth of thoughtfully designed vegetarian pizzas. I have mentioned this to Jesse (longtime staff) and a female server, asking them to pass this along. Each pizza also seems to have several more ounces of (still very delicious sourdough) dough. The crust is significantly thicker, and there's simply more of it. What once felt light and beautifully balanced now feels heavier. Vegetarian options are largely reduced to subtraction of meat . I've spoken with longtime waitstaff (including Jesse) and asked that this feedback be shared with Juan, the new owner. One server suggested I could just order a pizza without the meat. But a thoughtfully composed vegetarian pizza is very different from a meat pizza with ingredients removed--and at $24, paying full price for a pizza minus its main topping feels unfair. Perhaps there could be a cheaper option availabile for meaty pizzas without the meat. Please consider making The Summer Fave year round, bringing back the Inside Out, and/or creating more pizzas that don't center around multiple meats. Also, I know that the new management has changed some of the ingredients that made their pizzas so special and delicious. In particular, the sausage on the Yo Vinny, which used to be house made is now closer to the generic sausage you'd find at Pizza Hut. Loses so much of the experience to change to these cheaper ingredients. (I lean vegetarian as much as possible but make occasional exceptions, so I know this!) I used to go to Pizzahacker weekly and look forward to it with genuine excitement. Now, while I still enjoy the occasional pizza, that sense of anticipation is gone. I do want to say I'm grateful that my beloved Intermezzo salad remains unchanged--and I still care deeply about this place. I love PH--please consider the earnest pleas of a longtime customer who has eaten there many dozens of times.

Small business owned by the baker himself, many different flavored bagels and spreads to choose from. They also offer bagel dogs which I have yet to try. If you're lucky enough to snag a pesto bagel before he sells out, it will change your life. My go to: pesto bagel with sun-dried tomato spread and sprouts. I have tried many bagel locations, even prefer this spot over boichik in the city. The owner is so kind and well worth supporting! Parking can be difficult around this area, but it's worth the 5 - 10 minute walk.
