I've been coming here since I was a kid, and one of the best things about this place is that the bagels have stayed just as delicious all these years. There's something so special about a local spot that holds onto what makes it great, while becoming part of so many people's lives. We come here often, and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming. I actually love these bagels so much that when I spent a year abroad, I missed them terribly, and had my family bring me some when they came to visit. That's how much they mean to me! I truly hope this place continues for many, many more generations. It's more than just a bagel shop, it's one of those special local places that becomes part of your memories and your life. read more

Still great bagels, got the "Petaluma Meltdown" on poppyseed bagels. Normally it comes with tomatoes and onions so I'll admit I was being picky, though it's a great sandwich and if you love tomatoes and onions it'd probably be even better for you. The grilled chicken was so tender and the bacon complimented that well. The cheese being melted is what really ties it all together, even when you get that bite of nothing but bagel, it's just a great sandwich all around. "The Dude " (on sesame bagels) sandwich was very different from this though, it's good if you like more greens on a bagel, generous portion of cream cheese and still comes with bacon. Bagels were great on both. Toasted always. The coffee is good as well. For such a small place somewhat hidden in the corner. The outside is my favorite spot but there are cozy wooden tables inside as well. Workers are always extremely kind and helpful never had bad service here. read more

Having lived in the NY/NJ area for many years, I know what makes a good bagel. These are not it. I had the Asiago bagel with veggie cream cheese. The bagel was very dense and very dry, but the Asiago flavor was decent. The cream cheese was almost a liquid consistency and dripped out the side, rather than stayed on the sandwich. My husband had a plain bagel with plain cream cheese and lox. The lox cost $8 more than a bagel plus cream cheese and there wasn't $8 worth of lox. On the plus side, the coffee is excellent! Staff is very friendly. read more

OMG These bagels are soooo good and been in business for 48 Years! So happy they brought Pizza back again. The staff is lovely and friendly and if there is a line, it is worth the wait! A forever Customer. For reference I work in SF across from BOICHICK bagels and still rate Homegrown above them. Keep it Up! Whatever you are doing is RIGHT! read more

In town for a wedding and decided to pick up bagels for everyone. We ordered 10 cowboy bagels and 2 Lox bagels, everyone was very happy. The staff was amazing and the place has a homely feel. Support local and check it out yourself. read more

I've been eating bagels here for 45 years! They are the absolute best. The fact they sell out most days speaks for itself.

For over 20 years, I have ordered the same thing and HGB never disappoints. Everything bagel or a Bialy if they are out of everything with CC and the summer special on top!! Employees are fabulous and work so hard! If you are going on the weekend, don't wait, they may be sold out! They are that good!! read more

I absolutely love Homegrown Bagel! The bagels are delicious, with so many wonderful varieties to choose from, and the selection of schmears is fantastic! Michael and his staff are simply the best--always friendly, welcoming, and making every visit a pleasure. Homegrown Bagel is truly a Sonoma institution, and we're so lucky to have this local gem in our community! read more

I've tried numerous times to get a decent bagel here. What's decent? Something with a chew, soft, tasty, a perfect bed for cream cheese. I'm an east coaster, I know what a bagel is supposed to be. These ain't them. They're always over baked, this morning's sesame bagel tasted like it was a few days old, hard, dry awful. Sonoma deserves a better bagel place than this. read more

I've been a customer of Homegrown Bagels for "only" ten years. The place is a community institution since it has been there for almost 50 years with only one owner, Stewart Teitelbaum, who brought his NewYorker-ness to downtown Sonoma. The bagels are great, but more important is the community feel and community commitment of the store. I've been there often when the store is closed (at one of the weekly jam sessions) and someone from out of town will knock on the door and ask if the shop is open. Stewart will say no, but will bring them out a bag of bagels for free. No kidding. That does not happen in this world anymore. Thank you, Homegrown!! read more

As a native Sonoman, I love Homegrown Bagels! This is our local bagel spot, and we love it for what it is. I always laugh when I see people comparing them to NY/NJ bagels.I mean, I get it, you miss the bagels you grew up with, but not everything has to be New York to be good! If you want an East Coast bagel that badly, maybe it's time to book a trip back home and get one. Meanwhile, us Sonoman locals will be right here enjoying Homegrown! Not every place has to be compared to somewhere else. We have our own local favorites, and this is one of them. Keep doing your thing, Homegrown! Sonoma loves you! read more

The most amazing bagel shop all my life. The bagels are always fresh every day. They make all the cream cheese so many delicious flavors.. They have always had the best Staff - so friendly and helpful. I love their outdoor seating. It's a nice small hometown Shop that I hope always stays in Sonoma. read more

Great bagels. Great atmosphere. Great people. Their cream cheese and sandwiches are amazing. I've been loving this place for over 30 years. Anyone who gives them less than 4 stars has a superiority complex and needs to take that nonsense elsewhere. read more

Hands-down, the absolute best bagels I've ever had. It was raised on the East Coast until I was 11 and then we moved to Sonoma. My parents were both New Yorkers and as a kid I remember how happy they were when we found homegrown bagels. To the entire team at homegrown bagels you're amazing thank you. BTW.... My husband and I were just talking about the amazing Pizza you used to make back in the 80s. My God those spices were delicious. read more

Homegrown bagels really do follow through with their name. You can tell by the taste that the quality is different than other bagel shops. From an ex-employee, all smears are made in the back and veggies are sourced from farms or local markets. Another way they stand out from other bagel shops is that they offer mini bagels when you can't eat a whole one or are craving two different flavor combinations. My favorite combinations are a breakfast bagel (ham) with herb smear or lox smear with sprouts and avo. Oh and their coffee hits the spot, must get. However, they do get busy but are really considerate of the time and crank them out fast. Get there early cause they do sell out. read more

Love Homegrown bagels! We've been enjoying their bagels for over 35 years and they are the best. My only complaint is that sometimes the bagel I'm craving is sold out (when I go in too late!). read more

As an east coast bagel snob, I give this place 5 stars for a California bagel place. It is no frills, in the best way. The service was very quick and friendly. The bagels are very very solid and also enjoyed the egg sandwich. read more

I have been a fan of Homegrown Bagels since they opened 40 plus years ago. I enjoyed my first bagel in New York and could never find the "captured" NY bagel until Homegrown Bagels. The owner/baker is from NY. The variety of flavors is fantastic and i love the various cream cheese spreads they offer. Beware serving them to your little kids. They grow up and when you go to visit them they request a couple of dozen...then their neighbors taste them and there is another request. They are in DEMAND and sell out quickly! Thanks Homegrown Bagels for being a family tradition... read more

New York/NJ native here. Good bagels were nearly impossible to find on the West Coast when I moved to Sonoma about 35 years ago. (Pizza was the same way - but there are many fine places to choose from now.) Luckily Sonoma was the home of this little gem. Had breakfast there this morning for maybe the 1000th time. Bagels had that nice crunch on the outside and were chewy and tasty on the inside. Took a few home to toast tomorrow with lox and cream cheese. Service was fast and friendly as always. You won't go wrong here. read more

Love the service, smiles, & especially the bagels! Love the pick 6 w/cc! Always a line out the door on weekends for a reason.

My partner and I have been Homegrown Bagel customers for years. The service is always personal; the bagels are always perfect. I love how creative they are with the Basic Bagel. So many options! Homegrown Bagels is an exemplar of what makes Sonoma so great: a family-owned business offering five-star excellence combined with small-town friendliness and service. read more

Always fast service, even with a line out the door. very affordable, a hard word to use these days. Not to mention, best bagel in town

Yummy and fresh bagels. QUALITY IS TOP TIER. The team members are friendly and professional.

Best bagels in town, bar none. Tasty bagel sandwiches of all kinds. Great combinations of flavor, from simple to loaded. The friendliest staff and great service. Been going here since I was a kid and now I take my own kids. Check them out for a delicious breakfast or lunch you won't be disappointed. read more

Cute little bagel shop in Sonoma. It has been around forever and so loved by locals and tourists. Staff is always so friendly and helpful with ordering. You walk in order pay and go sit down if you are eating there and they will take it to your table. If you like coffee try their coffee with cinnamon it is delicious and they have free refills while you are there. I got a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese toasted. It was so good and I love that they have different cream cheeses to choose from to keep it fun and different. Prices are reasonable for what you get. read more

A really large selection of bagels and the lox sandwich was perfect. Enjoyed it! Staff was very friendly and made for a pleasant visit.

This place is located in a shopping center so parking is easy and accessible. It is a small mom and pop shop that serves bagels, coffee and breakfast sandwiches. When I went in the morning, there was no line and the service was relatively fast. The triple double coffee was just OK. I got the dude bagel sandwich and it was quite refreshing. There are people from all walks of life that come here. Only one restroom! read more

By far the best bagels in the entire state, maybe even the entire country! The service is fantastic, always by someone friendly and helpful. Nicely decorated interior. I've met the owner, and he is a really nice person, super to get to know! You can't go wrong stepping in the door to Homegrown Bagels. read more

Homegrown bagels deserves 10 stars. I've been visiting this quaint establishment since they opened. They are the only bagels besides my own, I consider delicious. The Staff are busy and efficient.

Homegrown is wonderful in every way, met with smiles, and serves top quality food! Classic hometown treasure!

I love their lox special with all the fixings with lox cream cheese on a toasted salt bagel!

Best bagels in the NorthBay! Friendly and warm customer service. Good flavor cream cheese (and none of that whipped cream cheese like Noah's uses where you're paying for 50% air (kind of like their bagels come to think of it). These bagels have a nice chew, they toast nicely, and have good overall consistency and flavor. My only wish is that their everything bagels included salt, but I guess you can't have it all read more

This may have been the worst bagel I've ever had. Hard as a rock and tasted like cardboard. The staff was super nice though.

Family run business, friendly staff! Cute mini bagels get them toasted for a fresher taste! Fresh made cream cheese. Worth a visit

What a nice little place to stop in for a bagel! There are a lot of flavors of bagel and of cream cheese and also many sandwich varieties. I didn't try the coffee but my everything bagel was great. Service is fast and friendly. There's outdoor seating. read more

Enjoyed the bagels. Was warm and priced fair Hope to come back soon Thanks for the bagels read more

There bagels are the best the staff is great I didn't get a picture I was to hungry to wait.

I lalways seek out bagels when traveling, because I love them, and they're always a quick and easy breakfast when you're trying to make the most out of your days. I had the Lox Special and it was quite good. The bagel was fresh and so was the lox. My wife had one of their other bagel sandwiches and really enjoyed it. There is no option to eat indoors right now, which I'm sure is a COVID precaution - you just order from a "window" and they bring your food out to you. There are a couple of tables outside to use. I'm a tough grader when it comes to bagels, but these definitely passed my test! read more

Good bagels and very welcoming, kind, and helpful service. Nice local spot. Orange juice is excellent!

There's a reason why there's a line out the door of Homegrown Baking Co.-- it's worth the wait. We took my in-laws here for breakfast before wine tasting and weren't disappointed. We each got different breakfast sandwich bagels, which you can customize to your preferences. The basic two-egg omelette breakfast sandwich starts at $5.50. Add your cheddar, jack, Swiss, pepper jack or cream cheese for an additional $2. Meat choices are bacon, sausage, chorizo, ham and turkey for an additional $2.50. You can also add avocado or veggies (tomato, cucumber, sprouts) for $2. I highly recommend the breakfast sandwich with pepper jack and chorizo. My mouth is watering now just thinking about it. If you go on a weekend, prepare for a little bit of a wait. Don't worry. The line moves quickly and the food is delicious. read more
