The lines here aren't as bad as they used to be so I was able to drop in around 10 AM on a Friday morning with no wait. Today I had a sesame seed bagel toasted with plain cream cheese. It was delicious, with a nice texture and not crazy expensive at $6.25. There's not a ton of seating, but there are four stools inside and two tables out front. Overall, I can highly recommend this place. Boichik Bagels, they're consistently satisfying.

Boichik Bagels Factory is such a special spot off Sixth St. For our family, it's the perfect…read moreweekend spot to grab a bagel, entertain the kiddo with the bagel-making machines, and truly enjoy a great bagel, delicious cream cheese options, Yoo-hoo chocolate milk, Mother Tongue coffee, and a nice break. On a recent adventure, I was in pursuit of trying to find any place in the East Bay that had the "dot cake" trend and Boichik is running a special called "Sprinkled with Pride" for Pride Month. Essentially for your matcha or cold brew, you can have it with a strawberry cream top and rainbow sprinkles. So naturally, I did a cold brew this way. In the spirit of seasonal items, I also tried the sun-dried tomato and pesto cream cheese on a toasted bagel. Highly recommend! Boichik is also doing pizza bagels I noticed which is so fun and very nostalgic for us 90s kids. Would love to try one of those on my next brekky journey out. They also offer frozen bagels, seasoning/spices, merch, and more. All in all, just a great spot with friendly smiles, quick service, and ya can't beat watching your bagels being made through the looking glass :) Street parking can be found in the area, although pending the time of day, you may need to walk a street or two over.

Eager to bring bagels home for the family, I decided to branch out and try someplace new. This…read moreplace is close to the El Cerrito hood, and had a fun menu of sandwiches with an array of bagel and smear options. It's conveniently just off of San Pablo and Marin, with plenty of street parking. The small shop had every table taken, at 11:00 on a Saturday morning, and a line - almost - out the door. I brought home a half a dozen sliced bagels, a green onion and horseradish smear, a chai iced tea and a "Bougie" bagel. As bagels go, these were the quintessential perfect, chewy and soft, fragrant bagels. The cream cheeses were delish and perfect for family to build their fav bagel meal. The Chai, was what will keep me coming back, however! It was perfectly sweetened, versus the sickening sweet of many shops, with a nice oat foam on the top. Don't forget the cinnamon sprinkle, which added the fragrant element. I had to wrestle my 20 yo for it when I got home. Now I'm left craving more.

VEGAN REVIEW ah,…read morefinally a fancy bagel place!!! (something I have missed moving up from LA) GREAT bagel sandwiches, with several vegan options (including not just 1 but 2 cream cheese options). I love to get a bougie bagel. they also have oat milk cold foam!!!! +1 for that.... but -1 for no hot espresso drinks (just drip coffee). anyhoo-- I usually get a Thai iced tea or London fog. it gets VERY BUSY & they run out of bagels, so if it's after 11am check their online ordering before heading over (nothing like the heartbreak of a closed bagel shop......) Very hip & friendly staff Indoor & outdoor seating Easy parking on San Pablo Ave

Sometimes commenters will say to me on YouTube, "Why are all your reviews on YouTube positive? I…read moredon't trust your reviews because you never have a negative review." This however is not true, because I only highlight places worth highlighting on YouTube. Which leads me to Bagel Street Cafe... I ordered a bagel dog and a pastrami sandwich on Dutch crunch. The bagel dog was ok for $5. Average. The pastrami sandwich however had 4oz or less of meat, the rest of the sandwich was vegetables including a boat load of sprouts. The vegetables even had a bitter flavor. One of the worst sandwiches I've ever had. So while I think it's appropriate to leave a Yelp review regarding how bad the sandwiches are. It would be a huge waste of my time and energy making a video about the dreadful food at Bagel Street Cafe. On top of that it was $38 dollars. Not worthy of reviewing or returning to. Hard pass. Never again.

Unfortunately we were disappointed. I remember loving this place a few years ago, but I think the…read morequality may have dipped a bit :( We ordered a mocha, Thai tea, a bagel, and a kebab plate. The coffee and tea were WAY too sweet, it felt like we were drinking liquid sugar. The bagel was alright, but the slices of tomato and cucumber were very thick and it wasn't appetizing as they kept falling out and making the bagel mushy. The kebab plate had a melted salad dressing container in it, and the melted plastic got on some of the chicken, which made it inedible. I'm not sure if they were just having a bad day or if staff was overwhelmed, but overall it was a bad experience.

Pretty good bagel place…read more They even sell kebabs which were freshly cooked! The bagel was packed with food and sauce. Definitely made me full Service was nice. Folks who work there were super chill. They were helpful when we asked what the options had in the menu. Ambiance inside is average, just a typical bagel place with some small chairs tables etc. Overall, a good bagel place!

You can self order on a tablet which is nice for those who already know what to order instead of having to wait in line as it'll speed up the process. I went for a non cut, everything lox bagel, minus the capers however, was missed by the staff. I received a cut bagel, with capers. Minor misses but definitely didn't impress me. I appreciated the fact that you could choose to not, lightly toast, or over toast the bagel which at the very least during my visit, was met. The dirty chai latte was really just ok. It was served at a warm-- ready to drink temperature which might not be ideal for those who enjoy drinks hot. My fiancé enjoyed his breakfast burrito but thought it was quite laughable at the amount of avocado in it. We both agreed that it was not worth $46 and wouldn't be bookmarking Wise Sons.

It was our first time here so we let it go. She said it was fresh and the scallion cream cheese was amazing! Staff were kind and were moving the line quickly. Probably waited less than 10 mins. It smells delicious and can't wait to come back again! Gotta try the truffle cream cheese!

But unfortunately, these are dry, flavorless, overcooked, and just miss the mark. And I like big holes in my sourdough, but not my bagels. I'm a New Yorker, but I really don't care if these are "NY style" or "Montreal style", I just want a bagel that doesn't taste like cardboard or like it was baked a week ago. Perhaps the quality has degraded over time, since I see so many positive reviews. Hope the owners read this review and continue to iterate, because the Bay Area really could use more good bagel options.

I came by early early one weekend morning (before they actually opened) and awaited those special…read morebagels to be delivered to their deli, Saul's. $1.50 a bagel.. i bought 5 with my change purse.. that's $7.50 I had to dig up. On Tuesdays, Panera sells you 13 for about $7. Einstein Bagels a la Costco sells you like 12 for $5. Berkeley Bagels has a great chew on their bagels. Here you're absolutely paying for artisan. Imitating the NY style of baking and boiling, effectively resulting in a tough and drier outside, with a hearty chew on the inside. I love the seeds and spices on the everything bagel. Theirs are more pronounced, more pungent, sharper salt... difficult to explain. Definitely for the occasional splurge. Perhaps it's not fair to put a price on an art of a bagel. In the end, though, I felt, after eating one, that for the difference in texture, whatnot, it was not worth the steeeeep price. Weren't differentiated enough for me. And yep, I surely did read that NYT article as well.
